A number of studies address the development of algorithms based on the Growing Region (GR) technique adaptations for extracting road networks in images. However, these algorithms are high-computationally demanding and ...

In this paper it is presented a new algorithm for the construction of panoramic images (including 360 panoramas), which has as main characteristic to avoid the distortion that occurs by joining of several successive images ...

Image restoration is a research field that attempts to recover a blurred and noisy image. Since it can be modeled as a linear system, we propose in this paper to use the meta-heuristics optimization algorithm Harmony Search ...

Structural health monitoring techniques are widely used in industry applications to guarantee the integrity of several types of components. This article proposes a baseline-free damage imaging algorithm based on Spatial ...

Almost all design problems in the sciences and engineering can be formulated as optimization problems, and many image processing problems can also be related to or formulated as optimization problems. These optimization ...

Abstract. We propose a new algorithm to determine the multifocus image fusion from several polychromatic images captured from the best focusing region where the best in focus image is included from a biological sample. ...
