the purpose of this study was to identify daily changes in body weight of broiler chickens using image processing and multi-regression analysis. therefore, thirty 1-day-old broiler chickens were reared under standard rearing condition and after acquiring images they were weighted, individually. from 2490 digital images, six features (perimeter, area convex, major axis, minor axis, eccentricity)...

The objective of this paper is to explore the feasibility of using multiple low-altitude, short endurance (LASE) unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) to cooperatively monitor and track the propagation of large forest fires. A real-time algorithm is described for tracking the perimeter of fires with an on-board infrared sensor. Using this algorithm, we develop a decentralized multiple-UAV approach to mo...

ABSTRAC: -This research aims at the extraction of geometric features from Urdu ligatures. Though structural features are robust, its extraction and analysis is exceptionally complex and time-consuming task. The extraction and analysis is uncomplicated in case of the geometric features. Geometric features are language, script and font independent. There are twelve significant geometric features ...

Abstract. The perimeter functional is known to oppose serious difficulties when it has to be handled within a topology optimization procedure. In this paper, a regularized perimeter functional Perε, defined for 2d and 3d domains, is introduced. On one hand, the convergence of Perε to the exact perimeter when ε tends to zero is proved. On the other hand, the topological differentiability of Perε...

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy can lead to blindness. However, early recognition allows appropriate, timely intervention. Fluorescein-labeled retinal blood vessels of 27 digital images were automatically segmented using the Gabor wavelet transform and classified using traditional features such as area, perimeter, and an additional five morphological features based on the derivatives-of-Gaus...

The planar soap bubble problem is the mathematically analogous problem in two dimensions to search for the least-perimeter way to enclose and separate regions R1, . . . , Rm of given areas A1, . . . , Am on the plane. In this work, we study the possible configurations for perimeter minimizing enclosures for more than three regions. In particular, we focus on the case of equal pressure regions. ...

As a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging modality, there is no standardized quantitative interpretation of OCT angiography (OCTA) characteristics of sickle cell retinopathy (SCR). This study is to demonstrate computer-aided SCR classification using quantitative OCTA features, i.e., blood vessel tortuosity (BVT), blood vessel diameter (BVD), vessel perimeter index (VPI), foveal avascu...
