Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContent Based Image Retrieval using Novel Gaussian Fuzzy Feed Forward-Neural NetworkC. Ramesh Babu Durai, V. DuraisamyProblem statement: With extensive digitization of images, diagrams and paintings, traditional keyword based search has been found to be inefficient for retrieval of the required data. Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system responds to image queries as input and relies on image content, using techniques from computer vision and image processing to interpret and understand it, while using techniques from information … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 7,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Modified Gaussian Mixture Model for Color-Texture SegmentationM. Sujaritha, S. AnnaduraiProblem statement: This study presents a new, simple and efficient modified Gaussian mixture model based clustering algorithm for color-texture segmentation. The proposed mixture model introduces a new component density function which incorporates spatial information and the weighting factor for neighborhood effect is fully adaptive to the image content. Approach: It enhances the smoothness towards piecewise-homogeneous segmentation and reduces the edge-blurring … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Aided Diagnosis System for Stone Detection and Early Detection of Kidney StonesMs. P.R. Tamilselvi, Dr. P. ThangarajProblem statement: Most of the previous study in diagnosis of kidney stone identifies a mere presence or absence of the stones in the kidney. However proposal in our study even present an early detection of kidney stones which helps to change the diet conditions and prevent the formation of stones. Approach: The study presented a scheme for ultrasound kidney image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 8,848 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 abstractGraph Based Segmentation in Content Based Image RetrievalP. S. Suhasini, K. S.R. Krishna, I. V.M. KrishnaProblem statement: Traditional image retrieval systems are content based image retrieval systems which rely on low-level features for indexing and retrieval of images. CBIR systems fail to meet user expectations because of the gap between the low level features used by such systems and the high level perception of images by humans. To meet the requirement as a preprocessing step … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 6,581 accessesView PDFCite
