Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMAGE SEGMENTATION WITH ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY IN COTTON CROPMaicon A. Sartin, Alexandre C.R. Da Silva, Claudinei KappesThe leaf analysis in a crop can present the need of a nutrient determined in the plant. The macronutrients deficiency in the cotton crop can be identified by specific type of colors variation by leaves images. Early identification of macronutrients deficiency can help in the growing suitable of the crop and reduce the use of agricultural inputs. This study investigates … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 4 Feb 2014 · 6,800 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINDUCES OF ANTIOXIDANT COMPOUNDS AND SALT TOLERANCE IN WHEAT PLANT, IRRIGATED WITH SEAWATER AS RESPONSE TO APPLICATION OF MICROALGAE SPRAYHanaa H. Abd El Baky, M. M. Hussein, Gamal S. El-BarotyWheat plants (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Giza 168) irrigated with either 10 or 20% of Seawater (SW) were treated with aqueous extracts of green microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus and blue green algae Spirulina platensis (AESO and AESP 20 g (dry weight)/L) in order to increase wheat salt tolerance. Treated plants showed higher ability to tolerate salt stress (10 or 20% SW) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF SKIN LESIONS USING HISTOGRAM THRESHOLDINGNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Abbas Hussien MiryAutomatic lesion segmentation is an important part of computer-based image analysis of pigmented skin lesions. Currently, there is a great interest in the development of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for dermoscopic images. The segmentation step is one of the most important ones, since its accuracy determines the eventual success or failure of a CAD system. This study introduced new method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
