As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Hepatosplenic candidiasis is a fungal infection, which mostly affects patientswith hematologic malignancies such as leukemia. The pathogenesis of thisinfection is not clear yet, and the liver is the most commonly affected organ.Diagnosis of hepatosplenic candidiasis can be only established via biopsy,since computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasonography, and magneticresonance imaging (MRI) yield...

The aim of image restoration is to obtain a higher quality desired image from a degraded image. In this strategy, an image inpainting method fills the degraded or lost area of the image by appropriate information. This is performed in such a way so that the obtained image is undistinguishable for a casual person who is unfamiliar with the original image. In this paper, different images are degr...

i ntroduction: we studied and measured facial parameters of 160 students,aged 22-24 years attended at sahand university of technology in northwest of iran. mat erial and methods: in this paper, six linear and six angular facial parameters are measured. these parameters are measured in frontal and profile facial images. the measured values are the mean and standard deviation (sd) of distance bet...

self-affine maps were successfully used for edge detection, image segmentation, and contour extraction. they belong to the general category of patch-based methods. particularly, each self-affine map is defined by one pair of patches in the image domain. by minimizing the difference between these patches, the optimal translation vector of the self-affine map is obtained. almost all image process...

Various approached have been introduced to extract as much as information form seismic image for any specific reservoir or geological study. Modeling of faults and fractures are among the most attracted objects for interpretation in geological study on seismic images that several strategies have been presented for this specific purpose. In this study, we have presented a modified approach of ap...
