Beef is one of the animal food products that have high nutrition because it contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Therefore, the quality of beef should be maintained so that consumers get good beef quality. Determination of beef quality is commonly conducted visually by comparing the actual beef and reference pictures of each beef class. This process presents weaknesses, as it is subjective in nature and takes a considerable amount of time. Therefore, an automated system based on image processing that is capable of determining beef quality is required. This research aims to develop an image segmentation method by processing digital images. The system designed consists of image acquisition processes with varied distance, resolution, and angle. Image segmentation is done to separate the images of fat and meat using the Otsu thresholding method. Classification was carried out using the decision tree algorithm and the best accuracies were obtained at 90% for training and 84% for testing. Once developed, this system is then embedded into the android programming. Results show that the image processing technique is capable of proper marbling score identification.

Abstract Introduction : The grade of reperfusion after endovascular treatment of ischemic stroke e.g. mechanical thrombectomy is determined based on the mTICI score. The mTICI score shows significant interrater variability; it is usually biased towards better reperfusion results if selfassessed by the operator. We therefore developed a semiautomated image processing technique for assessing and evaluating the degree of reperfusion independently, resulting in a more objective mTICI score. Methods: Fifty angiography datasets of patients who were treated with mechanical thrombectomy for middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion were selected from our database. Image datasets were standardized by adjustment of field of view and orientation. Based on pixel intensity features, the internal carotid artery (ICA) curve was detected automatically and used as a starting point for identifying the target downstream territory (TDT) of the MCA on the DSA series. Furthermore, a grid with predefined dimensions was used to divide the TDT into checkzones and be classified as perfused or unperfused. Results: The algorithm detected the TDT and classified each zone of the grid as perfused or unperfused. Lastly, the percentage of the perfused area in the TDT was calculated for each patient and compared to the grading of experienced clinical users. Conclusion: A semi-automatic image-processing workflow was developed to evaluate perfusion rate based on angiographic images. The approach can be used for the objective calculation of the mTICI score. The semi-automatic grading is currently feasible for MCA occlusion but can be extended for other brain territories. The work shows a starting point for a machine learning approach to achieve a fully automated system that can evaluate and give an accurate mTICI score to become a common AI-based grading standard in the coming near future.

Increased traffic flow results in high road occupancy. Traffic road occupancy is often used as a parameter for the prediction of traffic conditions by traffic engineers. Although traffic monitoring systems are based on a large number of technologies, challenges are still present. Most of the methods work efficiently for free-flow traffic but not in heavy congestion. Image processing techniques are more effective than other methods, as they are based on loop sensors and detectors to monitor road traffic. A huge number of image frames are processed in image processing hence there is a need for a more efficient and low-cost image processing technique for accurate vehicle detection. In this paper, a novel approach is adopted to calculate road occupancy. The proposed framework has robust performance under road conjunction and diverse environmental conditions. A combination of image segmentation threshold technique and shadow removal technique is used. The study comprised of segmenting 1056 images extracted from recorded videos. The obtained results by image segmentation were compared with traffic road occupancy calculated manually using Autocad. A final percentage difference of 8.7 was observed.

Image processing technique applies in different domains, such as medical, remote sensing and security. This techniques Aims to get a simple image called -image processed- should retain maximum useful information. The sensitive step in image processing is segmentation of image. Segmentation is first stage in medical image analysis seeded to two categories supervised and unsupervised technique. Accuracy of this stage affects the whole system performance. This paper present some methods applied for blood cell image segmentation and compares previous studies of overlapping cell division method. The common goal about this area is accuracy of counting the number of red blood cells (RBC) or white blood cells (WBC), which decrease with effect of some diseases such as anemia and leukemia. And makes it a critical factor in patient treatments.

Abstract Nowadays safety in railways is mostly achieved by automated system technologies such as ERTMS/ETCS. Nevertheless, on local railways (suburban and regional lines) several tasks still depend on the choices and actions of a human crew. With the aim to improve safety in such type of railways, this research proposes a system for the automatic detection and recognition of railway signs by means of the digital image processing technique. First field applications, carried out on the Italian railway network, show that the proposed system is very accurate (the percentage of correctly detected railway signs is about 97%), even at high train speeds.

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.
