We present a system for creating interactive exploded view diagrams in generalized 3D grids. the primary difference between our approach and existing ones is that our technique neither requires geometrical information of the whole model nor any information regarding the relationship among model parts;instead our implementation depends on which grid cells are considered as object of interest, and which view angle to use. To achieve this, we introduce the Explosion Tree, a data structure closely related to a BSP tree, which supports the explosion view diagrams technique based on the relationship between disjoint convex polygons. In this paper we discuss the application of this technique to Corner-Point Grid which has been extensively used for geological modeling and flow simulation. All the data presented in this work consists of real data currently used in the industry.

In hospital practice, several diagnostic hysteroscopy videos are produced daily. these videos are continuous (non-interrupted) video sequences, usually recorded in full. However, only a few segments of the recorded videos are relevant from the diagnosis/prognosis point of view, and need to be evaluated and referenced later this paper proposes a new technique to identify clinically relevant segments in diagnostic hysteroscopy videos, producing a rich and compact video summary which supports fast video browsing. Also, our approach facilitates the selection of representative key-frames for reporting the video contents in the patient records. the proposed approach requires two stages. Initially, statistical techniques are used for selecting relevant video segments. then, a post-processing stage merges adjacent video segments that are similar reducing temporal video over-segmentation. Our preliminary experimental results indicate that our method produces compact video summaries containing a selection of clinically relevant video segments. these experimental results were validated by specialists.

In this survey, we present a review of methods and resources for texture recognition, presenting the most common techniques that have been used in the recent decades, along with current tendencies. that said, this paper covers since the most traditional approaches, for instance texture descriptors such as gray-level co-occurence matrices (GLCM) and Local Binary Patterns (LBP), to more recent approaches such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and multi-scale patch-based recognition based on encoding approaches such as Fisher Vectors. In addition, we point out relevant references for benchmark datasets, which can help the reader develop and evaluate new methods.

Significant advances in image-based applications have been achieved in recent years, many of which are arguably due to recent developments in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Although the continuous improvement in the architectures of GAN has significantly increased the quality of synthetic images, this is not without challenges such as training stability and convergence issues, to name a few. In this work, we present the fundamentals and notable architectures of GANs, especially for image-based applications. We also discuss relevant issues such as training problems, diversity generation, and quality assessment (metrics).

this work presents an image classification method based on bag of features, that needs less local features extracted for create a representative description of the image. the feature vector creation process of our approach is inspired in the cortex-like mechanisms used in "Hierarchical Model and X" proposed by Riesenhuber & Poggio. Bag of Max Features - BMAX works withthe distance from each visual word to its nearest feature found in the image, instead of occurrence frequency of each word. the motivation to reduce the amount of features used is to obtain a better relation between recognition rate and computational cost. We perform tests in three public images databases generally used as benchmark, and varying the quantity of features extracted. the proposed method can spend up to 60 times less local features than the standard bag of features, with estimate loss around 5% considering recognition rate, that represents up to 17 times reduction in the running time.

Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is an important task with many applications in Intelligent Transportation and Surveillance systems. As in other computer vision tasks, Deep Learning (DL) methods have been recently applied in the context of ALPR, focusing on country-specific plates, such as American or European, Chinese, Indian and Korean. However, either they are not a complete DL-ALPR pipeline, or they are commercial and utilize private datasets and lack detailed information. In this work, we proposed an end-to-end DL-ALPR system for brazilian license plates based on state-of-theart Convolutional Neural Network architectures. Using a publicly available dataset withbrazilian plates [1], the system was able to correctly detect and recognize all seven characters of a license plate in 63.18% of the test set, and 97.39% when considering at least five correct characters (partial match). Considering the segmentation and recognition of each character individually, we are able to segment 99% of the characters, and correctly recognize 93% of them.

We present a novel and efficient surface reconstruction for particle-based fluid methods. Although particle-based methods are practical for computing level-sets that represent liquid interfaces, these methods are computationally expensive when the number of particles increases considerably due to the intense usage of particle approximations. this paper introduces a simple level-set approximation using a discrete indicator function (DIF) defined by counting particles inside grid cells. Our method is fast, easy to code, and can be adapted straightforwardly in particle-based solvers, even implemented in GPU. Moreover, we show the effectiveness of our approach through a set of experiments against prior surface reconstruction methods.

In this paper, we present an unsupervised approach for estimating the effectiveness of image retrieval results obtained for a given query. the proposed approach does not require any training procedure and the computational efforts needed are very low, since only the top-k results are analyzed. In addition, we also discuss the use of the unsupervised measures in two novel rank aggregation methods, which assign weights to ranked lists according to their effectiveness estimation. An experimental evaluation was conducted considering different datasets and various image descriptors. Experimental results demonstrate the capacity of the proposed measures in correctly estimating the effectiveness of different queries in an unsupervised manner. the linear correlation between the proposed and widely used effectiveness evaluation measures achieves scores up to 0.86 for some descriptors.

computer vision methods for fire detection have made significant advancements compared to traditional fire detection systems. the incorporation of fire segmentation masks enables precise analysis, offering valuable insights into the origin and spread of fires to prevent future incidents. this paper presents a novel approach that combines deep neural networks, graph cuts, and color thresholding to achieve fine-grained fire segmentation results. By incorporating graph cuts segmentation with global and local color information, our method enhances accuracy and detailed fire detection. As our results show, our method neatly improves recall, with a competitive precision, leading to an effective fire detection framework.
