As a result, it is necessary to measure the amount of coke deposition on catalyst. This paper proposes a new method based on image analysis. An image acquisition system consisting of a flatbed scanner and an opaque cover is used to obtain catalyst images. After imaging processing and analysis, the gray layer is selected to be the most effective colour layer for colour features extraction based on a discriminability index, D. Eight colour features (mean, variance, skewness, entropy, energy, H, S, V) are extracted from images with a good ability to classify the catalysts with different coke amount. Furthermore, the results show that there is a significant linear correlation between the H value and amount of coke deposition on catalyst, which could reflect the coke deposited state and coking progress effectively.","PeriodicalId":186466,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"83 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121889738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was discovered that the CD scheme in combination with DAS based beamformer is sensitive to changes due to position, postural and breathing.

An automated system based on image processing an machine learning tools have been used for early detection of hemorrhages and whitening to prevent from other severe disease and vision loss. For the detection of retinal whitening, white regions are localized first than a set of features is extracted out of which most relevant are used for classification. The hemorrhages are detected by applying illumination equalization following with the segmentation of hemorrhages and vessels, the small false regions are removed to accurately detect hemorrhages.

Sensitivity matrix is widely adopted to make this inverse problem to be a linear one. Usually, the sensitivity matrix employed is calculated under a uniform conductivity distribution. However, it is different from the sensitivity matrix of the measured object with inclusions, and the difference between them affects the quality of reconstructed image. Aiming at improving the resolution of reconstructed images, a novel way of constructing the sensitivity matrix is proposed based on ultrasound modulation. With focused ultrasound perturbing the measured object, the conductivity in each focal region will be altered according to the acousto-electric effect. Measuring the boundary voltage change with the corresponding change of the conductivity, then the sensitivity matrix of the measured object will be approximately constructed. The sensitivity matrices constructed based on the ultrasound modulation and on the Geselowitz's sensitivity theorem are presented and analyzed. With the proposed construction method, sensitivity matrix is more sensitive to the inclusion, even in the center of the measured object. Besides, image reconstruction is carried out by sensitivity algorithm using these two kinds of sensitivity matrix. Simulation results indicate that the reconstructed images with higher quality can be obtained with sensitivity matrix constructed based on the ultrasound modulation.","PeriodicalId":186466,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques (IST)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125485552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large number of experiments on real-world plate images dataset have been conducted by using different algorithms. Comparing with other representative deblur algorithms, the method we proposed yields higher quality results. Moreover, further experiments are carried out to apply our algorithm to non-plate blurred images, such as composite images, saturated images and other common images.

In this paper, we sketch the idea of expanding the cloud file sharing capabilities from only storing images to also performing encryption and analytics by moving and executing user defined programs near the data inside of an object storage cloud. In the big data context such as cloud file sharing storage, the arbitrary separation of storage and computation increases latency and decreases performance. The philosophy behind this approach is to package applications then move the application to the data, rather than moving data to where the application is located. In this paper, the encoding of the image is done using the P-Fibonacci transform of Discrete Cosine Coefficients “PFCC” algorithm. This paper describes the Docker Machine and Docker Swarm, an environment to support containerized user defined applications running remotely inside the cloud storage.
