The koniocellular (K) pathway is one of three pathways from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) to primate visual cortex (V1). K pathway projections to the cytochrome oxidase (CO) blobs of V1 suggest involvement in chromatic processing given reports that the CO blobs in diurnal primates contain cells selective for color. K LGN layers and CO blobs, however, are also well developed in nocturnal ...

Texture segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into regions with different textures containing similar group of pixels. Texture is an important spatial feature, useful for identifying object or region of interest. In texture analysis the foremost task is to extract texture features, which efficiently embody the information about the textural characteristics of the image. This can ...

A novel descriptor is designed and developed for extracting the features from large databases. The descriptor is known as LMeMECoP that is local mesh maximum edge co-occurrence patterns. Information of local maximum edge is collected between the possible neighbors for provided centre pixel that is the reference pixel. The maximum edge collection is in the form of mesh intended for reference pix...

Image retrieval based on color, texture and shape is a wide area of research scope. In this paper we present a framework for combining all the three i.e. color, texture and shape information, and achieve higher retrieval efficiency. The image and its complement are partitioned into non-overlapping tiles of equal size. The features drawn from conditional co-occurrence histograms between the imag...

Our objective was to assess the effects of lactate enhancement in combination with different packaging systems (vacuum; high-oxygen, 80% O2 + 20% CO2; or 0.4% CO, 30% CO2 + 69.4% N2) on beef Longissimus lumborum and Psoas major steak redness. Subprimals (n = 16) were divided in half and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 injection treatments (non-injected control, water-injected control, 1.25% lactate...

Research in batik image retrieval is still challenging today. In this paper, we present an efficient system for batik image retrieval that combine color and texture features. The proposed approach is based on color auto-correlogram method as color feature extraction method and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) method as texture feature extraction method. Firstly, HSV (Hue Saturation Value)...

arsenic trioxide (ato) has been reported to induce apoptosis in leukemic cells of acute promyelo-cytic leukemia (apl) patients through different pathways. however, the exact mechanism of ato-induced apoptosis is not yet clear. co stimulation of death receptors cd30 and tumor necrosis factor receptor type one (tnfr-i) is one of the postulated mechanisms.in the present study we aimed to evaluate ...

We located clusters of color-selective neurons in macaque striate cortex, as mapped with optical imaging and confirmed with electrophysiological recordings. By comparing responses to an equiluminant red/green stimulus versus a high-contrast luminance stimulus, we were able to reveal a patchy distribution of color selectivity. Other color imaging protocols, when compared with electrophysiologica...

There is a great need of developing efficient content based image retrieval systems because of the availability of large image databases. A new image retrieval system CTDCIRS (color-texture and dominant color based image retrieval system) to retrieve the images using three features called dynamic dominant color (DDC), Motif co-occurrence matrix (MCM) and difference between pixels of scan patter...
