An automatic and efficient foreground object extraction scheme
This paper presents a method to differentiate the foreground objects from the
background of a color image. Firstly a color image of any size is input for
processing. The algorithm converts it to a grayscale image. Next we apply canny
edge detector to find the boundary of the foreground object. We concentrate to
find the maximum distance between each boundary pixel column wise and row wise
and we fill the region that is bound by the edges. Thus we are able to extract
the grayscale values of pixels that are in the bounded region and convert the
grayscale image back to original color image containing only the foreground
object
Application of Digital Image Segmentation of Plantation Fruit Classification in Samarinda Agricultural Polytechnic
Applications of Digital Image Segmentation of Plantation Fruit Classification in Samarinda State Agricultural Polytechnic Based on Form The development of computer technology at this time has brought significant progress in various aspects of human life. Such development is supported by the availability of increasingly high hardware and software, one of the technologies experiencing rapid development is image processing. Image processing is a system where the process is carried out by entering an image and the result is also an image. Currently the use of digital images is widely used in various fields one of which is in the plantation sector. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create a digital image segmentation application for the classification of plantation fruit based on shape. The method used for image segmentation is the Thresholding method, while the image classification uses the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method. The accuracy generated by the system both in the training process and testing shows that the method used can classify fruit images wel
Real time sobel square edge detector for night vision analysis
Vision analysis with low or no illumination is gaining more and more attention recently, especially in the fields of security surveillance and medical diagnosis. In this paper, a real time sobel square edge detector is developed as a vision enhancer in order to render clear shapes of object in targeting scenes, allowing further analysis such as object or human detection, object or human tracking, human behavior recognition, and identification on abnormal scenes or activities. The method is optimized for real time applications and compared with existing edge detectors. Program codes are illustrated in the content and the results show that the proposed algorithm is promising to generate clear vision data with low noise

A comparative study between visual, near infrared and infrared images for the detection of veins for intravenous cannulation
The process of identification and locating of veins plays an important role to reduce health care cost and suffering of patients during intravenous cannulation. This paper
compares between three technologies to assess their suitability and capability for the detection of veins. Three types of cameras are used in this study, a visual camera, an infrared camera and a near infrared camera. The collected data has then been subjected to analysis and comparison using different image processing techniques, namely grayscale, invert grayscale, histogram equalisation, edge detection (difference of Gaussians) and unsharp mask enhancement to improve the visualisation of veins. In
this study, the near infrared images supported by suitable LED illumination has been found to be the most effective technology and the most cost effective for the
visualisation of veins
