It is known that removing these cloud effects a necessary preprocessing step image analysis. In general, auxiliary need to be used as reference determine true ground cover underneath cloud-contaminated areas. this paper, new removal approach, called multitemporal dictionary learning (MDL), proposed. Dictionaries cloudy areas (target data) and cloud-free (reference are...

Text recognition in natural scene images is a challenging problem computer vision. Different than the optical character (OCR), text more complex due to variations size, colors, fonts, orientations, backgrounds, occlusion, illuminations and uneven lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose segmentation-free method based on deep convolutional recurrent neural network solve of cursive recognition, particularly focusing Urdu scenes. Compared non-cursive scripts, writing styles, several...

Ultrasonic-based distance measurements using time-of-flight (TOF) is a fundamental technique for different applications across wide variety of fields. In general, cross correlation between transmitted and received signal considered to be the optimal TOF estimation technique, which produces peak at time delay them. Cross provides superior performance in conjunction with linear chirp. However, as its accuracy depends on width peak, inversely proportional signal's bandwidth, it can only said...

The popularity of 3D video is increasing daily due to the availability low-cost televisions and high-speed Internet access. However, currently contents can be distributed illegally without any protection. For views generated using a depth-image-based rendering technique, not only left right as content, but also center, left, or individually 2D content. As digital watermarking possible way protecting these from unauthorized distribution, in this paper, we propose method for rendered video. In...

Cloud removal is an important goal for enhancing the utilization of optical remote sensing satellite images. Clouds dynamically affect signal transmission due to their different shapes, heights, and distribution. In case thick opaque clouds, pixel replacement has been commonly adopted. For thin correction techniques allow effects clouds be removed while retaining remaining information in contaminated pixels. this paper, we develop a new method based on spectral mixture analysis which makes...

A watermarking scheme that discourages theater camcorder piracy through the enforcement of playback control is presented. In this method, video watermarked so its display not permitted if a compliant player detects watermark. watermark robust to geometric distortions (rotation, scaling, cropping) and lossy compression required in order block access media content has been re-recorded with camera inside movie theater. We introduce new algorithm for takes advantage properties dual-tree complex...

Finding a subspace which consists of the most informative features for reliable hyperspectral image classification is challenging task. Feature reduction often achieved via feature selection and extraction techniques. In this letter, hybrid approach combines both treatments proposed. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) applied as preprocessing step so that each new generated from complete set original spectral bands. then performed effectively using normalized Mutual Information (nMI) measure...

Increasing intakes of fruits and vegetables intake, in tandem with reducing consumption energy-dense nutrient poor foods beverages are dietary priorities to prevent chronic disease. Although most adults do not eat enough fruit vegetables, teenagers young tend have the lowest intakes. Young typically consume a diet which is inconsistent recommendations. Yet little known about best approaches improve behaviours among this group. This randomised controlled trial aims evaluate effectiveness...

Light field (LF) technology has been popularly adopted by a wide range of conventional industries. However, one problem when dealing with LFs is the sheer size data volume. There have many multi-view video coding (MVC)-based LF methods reported in literature, aiming at finding best prediction structure for coding. It clear that number possible structures unlimited, and it also observed bit-rate can be reduced increasing bi-directionally encoded views structure. none work conducted to analyze...

Unscheduled bleeding on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can affect up to 40% of users. In parallel with the increase in HRT prescribing UK, there has been an associated referrals urgent suspicion cancer pathway for unscheduled bleeding. On behalf British Menopause Society (BMS) expert review panel was established, including primary and secondary care clinicians expertise management menopause, representatives from key related organisations, Royal College Obstetricians & Gynaecologists,...

Multi-sensor image registration is a challenging task in remote sensing. Considering the fact that multi-sensor devices capture images at different times, multi-spectral necessary for data fusion of images. Several conventional methods suffer from poor performance due to their sensitivity scale and intensity variation. The invariant feature transform (SIFT) widely used object recognition address these problems. However, directly applying SIFT sensing often results very large number points or...

There is now convincing evidence that poor diet, in combination with physical inactivity are key determinants of an individual's risk developing chronic diseases, such as obesity, cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Assessing what people eat fundamental to establishing the link between diet and disease. Food records considered best approach for assessing energy intake. However, this method requires literate highly motivated subjects adolescents young adults least likely undertake...

The detection of cirrus cloud has historically been difficult due to the lack a 1.375μm wavelength band in earlier Landsat ETM+ imagery. 8 OLI addressed this problem by adding new at wavelength. This paper presents study effectiveness utilizing newly available data for purpose. An image-based method is developed contamination correction. relationship between visible or infrared and estimated via linear regression using homogenous land cover area. key issue how automatic identify background...
