since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–d realization. although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. in this paper, first a method is proposed to extract th...

conclusions our study showed that ultrasonography findings can be a good predictor of sperm parameters in patients with varicocele. results the semen analysis parameters, including semen volume and sperm morphology, count, and motility, significant correlations with the diameter of the varicocele vein but were not correlated with testes size. in addition, the patients with reflux of longer than...

This paper describes two classic style methods to analyze and segment the color space. The RGB space method includes color space pyramiding, low-pass filtering, 3-D object labeling and property calculation to acquire a proper number of colors and a good initial estimate of center positions, then fuzzy cmeans algorithm can be used to optimally cluster the color space distribution points. The sec...
