This paper is focused on the development and the flight performance analysis of an image-processing technique aimed at detecting flying obstacles in airborne panchromatic images. It was developed within the framework of a research project which aims at realizing a prototypical obstacle detection and identification System, characterized by a hierarchical multisensor configuration. This configuration comprises a radar, that is, the main sensor, and four electro-optical cameras. Cameras are used as auxiliary sensors to the radar, in order to increase intruder aircraft position measurement, in terms of accuracy and data rate. The paper thoroughly describes the selection and customization of the developed image-processing techniques in order to guarantee the best results in terms of detection range, missed detection rate, and false-alarm rate. Performance is evaluated on the basis of a large amount of images gathered during flight tests with an intruder aircraft. The improvement in terms of accuracy and data rate, compared with radar-only tracking, is quantitatively demonstrated.

Recently, in computer vision and video surveillance applications, moving object recognition and tracking have become more popular and are hard research issues. When an item is left unattended in a video surveillance system for an extended period of time, it is considered abandoned. Detecting abandoned or removed things from complex surveillance recordings is challenging owing to various variables, including occlusion, rapid illumination changes, and so forth. Background subtraction used in conjunction with object tracking are often used in an automated abandoned item identification system, to check for certain pre-set patterns of activity that occur when an item is abandoned. An upgraded form of image processing is used in the preprocessing stage to remove foreground items. In subsequent frames with extended duration periods, static items are recognized by utilizing the contour characteristics of foreground objects. The edge-based object identification approach is used to classify the identified static items into human and nonhuman things. An alert is activated at a specific distance from the item, depending on the analysis of the stationary object. There is evidence that the suggested system has a fast reaction time and is useful for monitoring in real time. The aim of this study is to discover abandoned items in public settings in a timely manner.

Under the background of information age, the computer plays a dominant role, and especially the emergence of the network makes the parallel computing possible. It makes the computer do a lot of image information processing in a short period of time, so as to obtain the best effect of art image design. Based on this principle, we design the model and algorithm of art image design through computer. We use normal bump of texture image processing technology, transforming two-dimensional image to 3D display, so as to achieve a good effect of art show. Finally, based on the construction of city public environmental art and city image, using the public environmental logo design as an example, we study the three-dimensional effect in identification system, so as to get a good image of the city, and provide a theoretical reference for the study of city public art and the image of the city.

This paper presents the calibration and development of a computer algorithm to analyze the deformation behavior of the changes in the diameter of a silicone tactile sensor using an image processing technique. In addition, the scope of the work also aims to evaluate the sensor’s sensitivity. Unfortunately, the current design and the system of tactile sensor is not suitable for soft tissue characterization because the sensor system uses multiple optical waveguide transduction technique which is relatively large in diameter size, not flexible and less accurate which is lack of ‘sense of touch’. Hence, an image processing algorithm has been developed using image processing software. The results indicate significant increase in the change in the diameter images. The overall image analysis technique involves the following main stages: image acquisition (capturing of images) and image processing (thresholding, noise filtering, component labeling, and geometric properties). The use of fiber scope and as well as an effective image analysis computer algorithm will facilitate and automate the process for sensing information. This study results in finding the mathematical model of a new technique to establish the sensitivity value of the silicon tactile sensor where a higher sensitivity indicates a more sensitive sensor. The outcomes of this research shows that the functionality of the developed new image analysis computer algorithm technique is suitable to establish the sensing information on the ‘sense of touch’ such as hardness, roughness and other physical characteristics of the surfaces.

There are three types of paddy leaf disease that have similar symptoms, making it difficult for farmers to identify them, namely Blast Disease, Brown-Spot Disease, and Narrow Brown-Spot Disease. This paper aims to develop an application to identify paddy leaf disease automatically. Several important aspects of the development of software engineering such as usability, interactivity, and simplicity have been considered. Image processing techniques, namely Blobs analysis and color segmentation are used to get the characteristics of diseased leaf; these characteristics are then used to identify the type of diseases using a rule-based expert system. The results obtained indicate that the developed system recognition capability is considered satisfactory with an accuracy of 94.7%.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

Image processing technique in general, involves the application of signal processing on the input image for isolating the individual color plane of an image. It plays an important role in the image analysis and computer version. This paper compares the efficiency of two approaches in the area of finding breast cancer in medical image processing. The fundamental target is to apply an image mining in the area of medical image handling utilizing grouping guideline created by genetic algorithm. The parameter using extracted border, the border pixels are considered as population strings to genetic algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization, to find out the optimum value from the border pixels. We likewise look at cost of ACO and GA also, endeavors to discover which one gives the better solution to identify an affected area in medical image based on computational time.

In this paper we discuss a model to estimate the power consumption and lifetime (LT) of an OLED display based on its pixel value and the brightness setting of the screen (scbr). This model is used to illustrate the effect of OLED aging on display color characteristics. Model parameters are based on power consumption measurement of a given display for a number of pixel and scbr combinations. OLED LT is often given for the most stressful display operating situation, i.e. white image at maximum scbr, but having the ability to predict the LT for other configurations can be meaningful to estimate the impact and quality of new image processing algorithms. After explaining our model we present a use case to illustrate how we use it to evaluate the impact of an image processing algorithm for brightness adaptation.

In earlier times fruits were sorted manually and it was very time consuming and laborious task. Human sorted the fruits of the basis of shape, size and color. Time taken by human to sort the fruits is very large therefore to reduce the time and to increase the accuracy, an automatic classification of fruits comes into existence.To improve this human inspection and reduce time required for fruit sorting an advance technique is developed that accepts information about fruits from their images, and is called as Image Processing Technique.
