Glaucoma is the second leading cause of loss of vision in the world. Examining the head of
optic nerve (cup‐to‐disc ratio) is very important for diagnosing glaucoma and for patient …

Fractional calculus is an abstract idea exploring interpretations of differentiation having non-
integer order. For a very long time, it was considered as a topic of mere theoretical interest …

Advances in optical microscopy, biosensors and cell culturing technologies have
transformed live cell imaging. Thanks to these advances live cell imaging plays an …

It is often a difficult task to accurately segment images with intensity inhomogeneity, because
most of representative algorithms are region-based that depend on intensity homogeneity of …

In this paper, a new region-based active contour model, namely local region-based Chan–
Vese (LRCV) model, is proposed for image segmentation. By considering the image local …

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the
most prevalent diseases in the world. It is also associated with a high mortality index …

Concrete cracks are the most important representation for evaluating the bridge health
condition and conducting to take appropriate actions to optimize expenditure on …

Structured-light vision systems are widely used in robotic welding. The key to improving the
robotic visual servo performance and weld quality is the weld seam recognition accuracy …

This paper presents a novel reaction-diffusion (RD) method for implicit active contours that is
completely free of the costly reinitialization procedure in level set evolution (LSE). A diffusion …

Oil spill detection (OSD) in marine areas is an application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
images to protect aquatic life. In this paper, a new oil spill detection algorithm based on level …
