Color quantization is an important operation with many applications in graphics and imageprocessing. Most quantization methods are essentially based on data clustering algorithms. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of hard c-means (k-means) clustering algorithm in this domain. Other studies reported similar findings pertaining to the fuzzy c-means algorithm. Interestingly, none of these studies directly compared the two types of c-means algorithms. In this study, we implement fast and exact variants of the hard and fuzzy c-means algorithms with several initialization schemes and then compare the resulting quantizers on a diverse set of images. the results demonstrate that fuzzy c-means is significantly slower than hard c-means, and that with respect to output quality the former algorithm is neither objectively nor subjectively superior to the latter.

this paper presents a computationally efficient method for the measurement of a dense image correspondence vector field using supplementary data from an inertial navigation sensor. the application is suited to airborne imaging systems (such as on a UAV) where size, weight, and power restrictions limit the amount of onboard processing available. the limited processing will typically exclude the use of traditional, but expensive, optical flow algorithms such as Lucas-Kanade. Alternately, the measurements from an inertial navigation sensor lead to a closed-form solution to the correspondence field. Airborne platforms are also well suited to this application because they already possess inertial navigation sensors and global positioning systems (GPS) as part of their existing avionics package. We derive the closed form solution for the image correspondence vector field based on the inertial navigation sensor data. We then show experimentally that the inertial sensor solution outperforms traditional optical flow methods both in processing speed and accuracy.

Agriculture sector is an important pillar of the global economy. the cotton crop is considered one of the prominent agricultural resources. It is widely cultivated in India, China, Pakistan, USA, Brazil, and other countries of the world. the worldwide cotton crop production is severely affected by numerous diseases such as cotton leaf curl virus (CLCV/CLCuV), bacterial blight, and ball rot. imageprocessing techniques together with machine learning algorithms are successfully employed in numerous fields and have also used for crop disease detection. In this study, we present a deep learning-based method for classifying diseases of the cotton crop, including bacterial blight and cotton leaf curl virus (CLCV). the dataset of cotton leaves showing disease symptoms is collected from various locations in Sindh, Pakistan. We employ the Inception v4 architecture as a convolutional neural network to identify diseased plant leaves in particular bacterial blight and CLCV. the accuracy of the designed model is 98.26% which shows prominent improvement compared to the existing models and systems.

In this paper, we propose a fast, simple and efficient image codec applicable for embedded processingsystems. Among the existing image coding methods, wavelet quad-tree is a foundation leading to an efficient structure to encode images. By searching significant coefficients along quad-trees, an embedded efficient code can be obtained. In this work, we exploit hierarchical relations of the quad-tree structure in terms of searching entropy and present a quad-tree searching model that is very close to the searching entropy. By applying this model, our codec surpasses SPIHT [1] by 0.2-0.4 db over wide code rates, and its performance is comparable to SPIHT with arithmetic coding and JPEG2000 [2]. With no additional overhead of arithmetic coding, our code is much faster and simpler than SPIHT with adaptive arithmetic coding and the more complicated JPEG2000 algorithms. this is a critical factor sought in embedded processing in communication systems where energy consumption and speed are priority concerns. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed codec is about twice as fast with very low computational overheads and comparable coding performances than existing algorithms.

In fisheries industry, flatfish accounts for about half of the domestic fish production and is a specie with active aquaculture activities. As flatfish grows, classification according to the size should be periodically carried out for efficient growth. In this paper, the correlation between area and weight of flatfish required for classification algorithms using machine vision is derived. 120 simulations are performed using flatfish models and the area is obtained through imageprocessing. In imageprocessing process, the area of flatfish model is calculated using a reference square known in size. the weight of actual fish corresponding to the length of the model is obtained using the reference equation. then, regression analysis is performed to derive the interpolation of linear and power equations which show correlation between area and weight of the flatfish.

Shoe marks found on the crime scene are invaluable for the identification of the culprit when no other piece of evidence is available. thus semi-automatic and automatic systems have been recently proposed to find the make and model of the footwear that left the shoe marks. the systems proposed up to now have two main drawbacks, as they (i) are generally not based on rotation and translation invariant descriptions, and (ii) are tested on synthetic shoe marks, i.e. on shoeprints with added synthetic noise. Here we show the results of a translation and rotation invariant description based on the Fourier transform properties: the test is made on both synthetic and real shoe marks and a comparison withalgorithms proposed by others is presented.
