Visual quality evaluation is one of the challenging basic problems in image processing. It also plays a central role shaping, implementation, optimization, and testing many methods. The existing assessment methods focused on images corrupted by common degradation types while little attention was paid to color quantization. This spite there wide range applications requiring quantization being us...

The most used full reference image quality assessments are error-based methods. Thus, these measures are performed by pixel based difference metrics like Delta E ( E), MSE, PSNR, etc. Therefore, a local fidelity of the color is defined. However, these metrics does not correlate well with the perceived image quality. Indeed, they omit the properties of the HVS. Thus, they cannot be a reliable pr...

Pistachio powder is a product used today in confectionery, ice cream, pistachio paste and other foods. Considering the higher rate of spoilage and oxidation in pistachio powder, developing methods to increase the shelf-life of this product is therefore important. In this study the effect of  freezing and vacuum packaging on the quality characteristics of pistachio powder during storage was inve...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different sources of natural pigments on yolk color and laying hen performance. A completely randomized design with six treatments and six replicates was used.The six experimental treatments were: a control diet containing yellow corn grain, a reference diet containing wheat and barley grain instead of corn; a red pepper diet composed of refe...
