scholarly journals A segmentation approach of the ultra sound image to detect renal calculi AbstractThis paper proposes to develop the image segmentation method by appraising the various image analysis techniques. The effective method had beenexamined and degree of justification was carried out in various clinical concerns. Currently, we scrutinize a classification of methodology in terms of previous data. New ideas had been obtained from additional papers anddemonstrated about clinical efficiency or potential specific to the ultrasound segmentation of the renal calculi

Understanding the often-heterogeneous land cover in urban areas is critical for, among other things, environmental monitoring, spatial planning, and enforcement. Recently, several earth observation satellites were developed with an enhanced spatial resolution that provides for precise and detailed representations of image objects. Morphological image analysis techniques provide useful tools for extracting spatial features from high-resolution, remotely sensed images. This study investigated the efficacy of mathematical morphological (MM) techniques in the land cover classification of a heterogeneous urban landscape using very high-resolution pan-sharpened Pleiades imagery. Specifically, the study evaluated two morphological profiles (MP) techniques (i.e., concatenation of morphological profiles (CMPs) and multi-morphological profiles (MMPs)) in the classification of a heterogeneous urban land cover. The overall accuracies for CMP were 83.14% and 83.19% over the two study areas. Similarly, the MMP overall accuracies were 84.42% and 84.08% for the two study sites. The study concluded that CMP and MMP can greatly improve the classification of heterogeneous landscapes that typify urban areas by effectively representing the structural landscape information necessary for discriminating related land cover classes. In general, similar and visually acceptable results were produced for land cover classification using either CMP or MMP image analysis techniques

Abstract Globalization and complexity of the PCB supply chain has made hardware assurance a challenging task. An automated system to extract the Bill of Materials (BoM) can save time and resources during the authentication process, however, there are numerous imaging modalities and image analysis techniques that can be used to create such a system. In this paper we review different imaging modalities and their pros and cons for automatic PCB inspection. In addition, image analysis techniques commonly used for such images are reviewed in a systematic way to provide a direction for future research in this area. Index Terms—Component Detection, PCB, Authentication, Image Analysis, Machine Learning

This paper describes the research aimed at developing an effective quality assessment method for potato tubers using neural image analysis techniques. Nowadays, the methods used to identify damage and diseases are time-consuming, require specialized knowledge, and often rely on subjective judgment. This study showed the use of the developed neural model as a tool supporting the evaluation of potato tubers during the sorting process in the storage room.

Histochemistry of tumor sections is a widely employed technique utilized to examine cell death in preclinical xenograft animal models of cancer. However, this is under the assumption that tumors are homogeneous, leading to practices such as automatic cell counting across the entire section. We have noted that in our experiments the core of the tumor is largely or partially necrotic, and lacks evidence of vascularization (in contrast to the outer areas of the tumor). We note that this can bias and confound immunohistochemical analyses that do not take care to sample areas of interest in a way to take this into account. Design-based stereology with image analysis techniques is an alternative process that could be used to measure the volume of the necrotic region compared to the volume of the whole tumor.
