background and objectives: pulsed electric field (pef) is a novel emerging technology which is believed to have the potential to substitute conventional thermal pasteurization (htst). in the current study pef was compared with htst based on microbial inactivation and quality attributes. materials and methods: juice was prepared by extracting it from semirum apples. they were chilled to 4ºc over...

In this work we compare two spatial and two wavelet-domain feature extraction methods that have been proposed in the recent literature for color-texture classification. The corresponding color-texture features, namely the Opponent-Color Local Binary Pattern distributions, the Chromaticity Moments, the Wavelet Correlation Signatures and the Color Wavelet Covariance features, are extracted in RGB...

introduction:expensive chemical tests are usuallyapplied to control the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants. however, the cost of measuring these parameters is one of the challenges of the wastewater treatment plants. using statistical methods has been evaluated for possibility of calculating expensive parameters by measuring the inexpensive parameters in this study. methods:initial sampl...

introduction: current thermal cycling units fail to simulate the drinking behaviors, and oral balancing temperature. they cannot also simulate other oral conditions such as drink coloring, and chemicals like tea, coffee, carbonated and noncarbonated, citrus juices as well as alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and also saliva and milk itself. the main objective of this study is to introduce the d...

In this article, we propose a novel stroke width transform (SWT) voting-based color reduction method for detecting text in natural scene images. Unlike other text detection approaches that mostly rely on either text structure or color, the proposed method combines both by supervising text-oriented color reduction process with additional SWT information. SWT pixels mapped to color space vote in ...

Color features are among the most important features used in image database retrieval. Due to its compact representation and low complexity, direct histogram comparison is the most commonly used technique in measuring color similarity of images. However, it has many serious drawbacks, including a high degree of dependency on color codebook design, sensitivity to quantization boundaries, and ine...

Content of image such as color texture and dimension are used for process for image retrieval and classification. The classification of image needed to mange increases multimedia data in internet. The Varity of different image search by efficiently need a process of image classification. Image classification performs on lower content of image. Feature clustering play an important role in image ...

bstract. We present an innovative way to simultaneously perform eature extraction and classification for the quality-control issue of urface grading by applying two multivariate statistical projection ethods: SIMCA and PLS-DA. These tools have been applied to ompress the color texture data that describe the visual appearance f surfaces (soft color texture descriptors) and to directly perform la...

The scientific program at Jefferson Lab to probe the properties of QCD in the nuclear environment is outlined. The experimental facilities are described and recent results are presented including measurements of color transparency and medium modifications of vector mesons. The evidence for the onset of color transparency is modest and changes to the mass and width of the ρ meson in heavy nuclei...
