This article presents a local entropy based image reconstruction algorithm that performs quite well in cases where there is distortion in an image. If the "wanted" image information is still available but distributed over two or more distinct images, the algorithm can collect the required...

Irrigation scheduling and automation are usually conducted using models that are based on the measurement of the soil water content. In this sense, water balance has established itself as a good indicator of the growth and development of crops and is currently used in several automatic...

Land constitutes the most important character for sustainable development in a region. Rapid urbanization has become an area of crucial concern against the bonanza of urban ecology. The land use pattern of any urban area hints not only its immediate current space requirements of the inheriting...

The potential of a new procedure of image processing for the characterization of a given combustion state through flame visualization is here presented and discussed. Experimental tests were carried out in a swirl-stabilized, semi-industrial scale burner of 500kWth. Using an advanced vision...

In this study, experiments of single-file pedestrian movement were conducted and the movement parameters of pedestrians were extracted with a digital image processing method based on a mean-shift algorithm. The microscopic characteristics of pedestrian dynamics, including velocity, density, and...
