Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Practical Approach of Selecting the Edge Detector Parameters to Achieve a Good Edge Map of the Gray ImageAkram A. Moustafa, Ziad A. AlqadiProblem statement: practical approach of detecting edge map was proposed. Approach: The methodology of this approach was presented and tested in order to select the best value of the operator, used to smooth and get the gradient, and the threshold value used to convert the gray gradient to binary edge map, so a practical value of the threshold and edge … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 30 May 2009 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparating Low Pass and High Pass Frequencies in the Image Without loosing informationZ. Alqadi, J. Musbah, A. L. MontengroGranulometries are morphological image analysis tools that are particularly useful for estimating object sizes in binary and grayscale images, or for characterizing textures based on their pattern spectra. There are many applications that morphology can be applied to. Some morphological operations like dilation, erosion and open-close are used in image and video processing, but with no application to pre-processing for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,428 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEdge Detection in Gray Level Images based on the Shannon EntropyBaljit Singh, Amar P. SinghMost of the classical mathematical methods for edge detection based on the derivative of the pixels of the original image are Gradient operators, Laplacian and Laplacian of Gaussian operators. Gradient based edge detection methods, such as Roberts, Sobel and Prewitts, have used two 2-D linear filters to process vertical edges and horizontal edges separately to approximate first-order derivative of pixel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Integrated Approach to Digital Objects Storage and RetrievalKhalil Shihab, Haider Ramadhan, Nida Al-ChalabiImage retrieval systems are becoming increasingly important in areas of research and commercial use. The storage of digital objects in the traditional databases is considered inadequate because of the extensive precise data required for successful retrieval. In addition, the retrieval process has been implemented using content-based image retrieval (CBIR) that relies on retrieving stored images from a collection by comparing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach in Malignancy Detection of Computer Aided DiagnosisS. Meenalosini, J. Janet, E. KannanProblem statement: Breast cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that cause innumerable fatal in the female society. Early detection is the only way to reduce the mortality. Due to variety of factors sometimes manual reading of mammogram results in misdiagnosis. So that the diagnosis rate varies from 65-85%. Various computer aided detection techniques have been proposed for the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvolution of Neural Controllers for Robot Navigation in Human EnvironmentsGenci Capi, Hideki TodaProblem statement: In this study, we presented a novel vision-based learning approach for autonomous robot navigation. Approach: In our method, we converted the captured image in a binary one, which after the partition is used as the input of the neural controller. Results: The neural control system, which maps the visual information to motor commands, is evolved online using real … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 6,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust and Blind Watermarking of Relational Database SystemsA. Al-Haj, A. OdehProblem statement: Digital multimedia watermarking technology was suggested in the last decade to embed copyright information in digital objects such images, audio and video. However, the increasing use of relational database systems in many real-life applications created an ever increasing need for watermarking database systems. As a result, watermarking relational database systems is now merging as a research area that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation and Recognition of Handwritten Numeric ChainsSalim Ouchtati, Mouldi Bedda, Abderrazak LachouriAutomatic reading of numeric chains has been attempted in several application areas such as bank cheque processing, postal code recognition and form processing. Such applications have been very popular in handwriting recognition research, due to the possibility to reduce considerably the manual effort involved in these tasks. In this study we propose an off line system for the recognition of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,636 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW METHOD FOR 3D SHAPE INDEXING AND RETRIEVAL IN LARGE DATABASE BY USING THE LEVEL CUTA. Lakehal, M. Elkhal, K. SatoriIn this study, we propose a new method for indexing and retrieval of 3D models in large databases based on binary images extracted from the 3D object called "level cut" LC. These cuts are obtained by the intersection of the set of the plans with the 3D object. A set of equidistant parallel plans generates by the intersection with the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 22 May 2014 · 6,824 accessesView PDFCite
