Packaging plays a very important role in marketing. Thanks to packaging, the goods while in transit and the products located onto retail shelves are protected. In order to gain competitive advantages in the market, the way of packaging should be assessed and managed effectively. Having many advantages such as versatility, recyclability, and cheapness;corrugated boards packaging is widely used and increasing popularity in the world. Due to the high rate usage of corrugated board, the production of corrugated board becomes more of an issue. In the current situation, corrugated boards placed onto each other on pallets before delivery are counted manually. The situation leads to waste and extra cost for the factory. The approach mentioned in this paper aims to automate this process by using image processing algorithms and to eliminate all wastes related to manual counting process. There is no scientific research studied related to this problem. An algorithmic approach is applied by using sample images provided by a company corresponding to corrugated boards. Therefore, the automated counting system for corrugated board is proposed by this study.

We propose a new hybrid model algorithm that addresses the challenges of recognizing multiple objects. Specifically, objects are recognized from massive, large-scale, and complex tunnel images without repeated parameter adjustments and high-cost annotation datasets. Our algorithm utilizes a multi-scale, fusion-based encoder-decoder segmentation model to classify objects from high-resolution images of the tunnel surfaces. To enhance the accuracy of crack identification from complex backgrounds, we incorporate the Expanded Threshold Search (ETS) algorithm and the Local Window Extraction (LWE) algorithm. The acquisition device and the algorithm, implementing the multi-object dataset, have successfully tested, whereby it recognizes five objects and attains the highest Intersection over Union (39.3% for the crack object, 65.6% for the leakage object, and 75.7% for the rest).

In this paper, the hydrodynamic characteristics of the cylinder water-exit are studied by high-speed camera experiments. The characteristics of cylindrical motion trajectory, velocity and acceleration are analyzed by image processing algorithm. The emission voltage (i.e. initial velocity) and emission depth are important influencing factors. Based on different emission voltage and depth, the hydrodynamic coefficient is compared and analyzed. The results show that the new research method has good adaptability to the experimental study of cylindrical water-exit. The emission voltage directly affects the initial velocity of the cylinder, which in turn affects the force changes during the water exit process. The increase in emission depth exacerbates the uncertainty of the moment when the cylinder exits the water, thereby affecting the changes in the wake and motion stability during the cylinder water exit process.

OBJECTIVE: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by supraclinoid internal carotid artery narrowing causing cerebral parenchyma to starve. Direct and indirect revascularisation techniques are the treatment norm. We provide a clinicoradiological comparison of single and double barrel superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass for MMD. The perfusion in cerebral hemispheres and vessel density in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) have been evaluated using novel algorithms. METHODS: DSA, arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging methods and Suzuki, Matsushima, Angiographic Outcome Score scales were used to quantify perfusion parameters;modified Rankin Score was used for clinical evaluation. A novel image processing algorithm was designed to perform analysis of arterial spin labeling sequences and compare perfusion. Vessel density was calculated using connected component analysis on thresholded DSA images. RESULTS: Fifty-four hemispheres with MMD underwent STA-MCA bypass 42(77.8%) single barrel and 12 (22.2%) double barrel. Clinical outcome-modified Rankin Score was significant with P < 0.001 in single barrel and P = 0.001 in double barrel groups. The overall Angiographic Outcome Score showed improvement postoperatively (P = 0.032). Perfusion analysis was performed in 20 hemispheres (13 single barrel;7 double barrel). MCA territories showed significant improvement in single barrel (2.72%, P = 0.0294) and double barrel groups (12.89%, P = 0.025). Vessel density calculated in MCA territory, showed an overall postoperative improvement (P = 1.75 3 10e8). CONCLUSION: Double barrel STA-MCA bypass clinically as well as radiologically improves perfusion in the ACA as well as MCA territories in MMD. The novel image processing algorithm is an accurate, objective tool to evaluate perfusion in magnetic resonance images and vessel density in DSA images of MMD.

Accurately assessing flap volume and thickness is a crucial aspect of breast reconstruction using the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, especially in challenging cases such as thin or large-breasted women or bilateral reconstruction. To address this, we present an innovative imageprocessing tool utilizing computed tomography angiography (CTA) to measure DIEP flap volume and thickness. Our approach incorporates an elliptical equation validated on DIEP reconstruction patients. Preoperative abdominal CTA images were obtained from 70 patients who underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction at Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge from 2017 to 2021. The imageprocessing tool was employed for preoperative quantification, utilizing elliptical approximations, to determine the volume to be harvested and assess the central thickness of the flap. Subsequently, a non-parametric statistical retrospective analysis was conducted to examine these parameters in relation to immediate complications. The mean maximum recruitable volume (MRV) was 1017.15 +/- 325.51 cm 3, with a mean thickness of 3.65 +/- 1.14 cm. No significant correlation was found between postoperative complications and MRV or thickness values. The processing tool offers a reliable solution for accurately measuring the volume and thickness of the DIEP flap from CTA images, aiding surgeons in breast reconstruction decision-making. This innovative approach enhances surgical planning by addressing quantitative values of thickness and volume of the DIEP flap, which is critical for accurate flap assessment. (c) 2024 The Author(s).

Background For quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the imaging properties of IOLs, axial cross-sectional images can be obtained from the 3-dimensional light distribution by means of an optical bench, as is known from light sheet recordings in fluorescein baths. This paper presents a new image-processingalgorithm to enhance the quality of generated axial cross-sectional images, and the two methods are then compared. Material and Methods The 3-dimensional point spread function of a diffractive trifocal IOL (AT LISA tri 839MP, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) was recorded on an optical bench developed in Rostock for different pupil diameters. A specially adapted image processing algorithm was then applied to the measurements, allowing through-focus curves to be generated. In addition, cross-sectional images of the IOLs studied were acquired using the light sheet method in a fluorescein bath. Results The study clearly shows the superiority of the newly developed method over the light sheet method in terms of image quality. In addition to the individual focal points, fine focal structures as well as halos can be made visible in the cross-sectional images obtained using the new method. In the generated through-focus curves, 3 intensity peaks can be identified, which represent the near, intermediate and far focus of the tested MIOL and cannot be represented by light sheet methods. Conclusion The interaction of the optical bench with the developed image processing algorithm allows a more detailed understanding of the image formation and false light phenomena of IOLs, which was restricted by the technical limitations of the existing light sheet method. In addition, other quantities such as the through-focus curve can be derived quantitatively.

A massive number of paper documents that include important information such as circuit schematics can be converted into digital documents by optical sensors like scanners or digital cameras. However, extracting the netlists of analog circuits from digital documents is an exceptionally challenging task. This process aids enterprises in digitizing paper-based circuit diagrams, enabling the reuse of analog circuit designs and the automatic generation of datasets required for intelligent design models in this domain. This paper introduces a bottom-up graph encoding model aimed at automatically parsing the circuit topology of analog integrated circuits from images. The model comprises an improved electronic component detection network based on the Swin Transformer, an algorithm for component port localization, and a graph encoding model. The objective of the detection network is to accurately identify component positions and types, followed by automatic dataset generation through port localization, and finally, utilizing the graph encoding model to predict potential connections between circuit components. To validate the model's performance, we annotated an electronic component detection dataset and a circuit diagram dataset, comprising 1200 and 3552 training samples, respectively. Detailed experimentation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed enhanced algorithm over comparative algorithms across custom and public datasets. Furthermore, our proposed port localization algorithm significantly accelerates the annotation speed of circuit diagram datasets.

Video surveillance systems for the main production processes at nuclear power plants are an important research topic in our time. Reliability, quality, and radiation resistance - are among the main fundamental requirements for the created products. Inspection of many areas that are important for safe operation can be carried out only with the help of TV cameras based on the vidicon tube receiver, which form only a grayscale image. The ability to convert a grayscale image obtained with radiation-tolerant television cameras into a color image will significantly increase the reliability and information content of the control, which will allow an objective assessment of the condition of the equipment, and as a result will reduce the risk of emergency situations. The solution proposed in the work is a technique for converting grayscale image obtained with radiation-tolerant cameras based on vidicon tube receiver into color one. One of the main characteristics of the vidicon is its spectral characteristic, which is determined by the device and the properties of the photographic target.
