This paper deals with the use of the segmentation tools and principles presented in [10] and [13] for allowing content-based functionalities. In this framework, means for supervised selection of objects in the scene are ...

In some applications of digital image processing the fact that an image is a non estacionary signal can cause some undesirable effects. That is the case of block effect in transform coding, or destructive effects on contours ...

This work proposes a simple instance retrieval pipeline based on encoding the convolutional features of CNN using the bag of words aggregation scheme (BoW). Assigning each local array of activations in a convolutional layer ...

A main objective of digital processing of echocardiographic images is to improve the signal to noise ratio of the video images acquired from the ultrasound equipment along with contour extraction in order to obtain cardiac ...

Several techniques for semi-automatic or automatic detection of coagulation time in blood or in plasma analysis are available in the literature. However, these techniques are either complex and demand for specialized ...

A new segmentation algorithm for still black and white images is introduced. This algorithm forms the basis of a region-oriented sequence coding technique, currently under development. The algorithm models the human mechanism ...

Specialists have used confocal microscopy in the ex-vivo modality to identify Basal Cell Carcinoma tumors with an overall sensitivity of 96.6% and specificity of 89.2% (Chung et al., 2004). However, this technology hasn’t ...
