In this paper we present a comparison study between different aggregation functions for the combination of RGB color channels in stereo matching problem. We introduce color information from images to the stereo matching ...

Literature contains a large variety of content-aware smoothing methods. As opposed to classical smoothing methods, content-aware ones intend to regularize the image while avoiding the loss of relevant visual information. ...

Binary image comparison has been a study subject for a long time, often rendering in context-specific solutions that depend upon the type of visual contents in the binary images. Distance transformations have been a recurrent ...

Precise and reliable identification of specific plant diseases is a challenge within precision agriculture nowadays. This is the case of esca, a complex grapevine trunk disease, that represents a major threat to modern ...

Object segmentation is a prominent low-level task in image processing and computer vision. A technique of special relevance within segmentation algorithms is active contour modeling. An active contour is a closed contour ...

Restricted equivalence functions are well-known functions to compare two numbers in the interval between 0 and 1. Despite the numerous works studying the properties of restricted equivalence functions and their multiple ...

Powdery mildew is a worldwide major fungal disease for grapevine, which adversely affects both crop yield and produce quality. Disease identification is based on visible signs of a pathogen once the plant has already been ...

The discrimination power of a hyperspectral imaging system for image segmentation or object detection is determined by the illumination, the camera spatial–spectral resolution, and both the pre-processing and analysis ...

Introduction: the MDS-PSP criteria have shown high sensitivity for the PSP diagnosis, but do not discriminate the phenotype diversity. Our purpose was to search for anatomopathological differences among PSP phenotypes ...

It is known that the human visual system performs a hierarchical information process in which early vision cues (or primitives) are fused in the visual cortex to compose complex shapes and descriptors. While different ...
