In this paper, we used evolutionary algorithms to get over the three problems. We have proposed a segmentation method based on region growing and evolutionary algorithms. The proposed approach is validated on four hundred synthetic images and medical. The results show the good performance of this approach.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"388 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133511447","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}

The reason behind it is to reduce the number of the grey level in the image, by assigning to each pixel a value that characterizes the local information of the neighborhood of this same pixel. This coding process will allow us to reduce the size of the co-occurrence matrix and also minimize the extraction time of Haralick features. We compare these pretreatment approaches by applying them on our unsupervised segmentation method of the image texture, which is based on both Kohonen maps and mathematical morphology. Our comparative study covers the results obtained by each pretreatment approach taking into consideration the execution time and the error rate.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129289889","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}

The image restoration method known as Wiener deconvolution intervenes to estimate from the degraded image an image as close as possible to the original image. The effectiveness of this method obviously depends on the regularization term which requires a priori knowledge of the power spectral density of the original image that is rarely, if ever, accessible, hence the estimation of approximate values can affect the restored image quality. In this paper, the idea consists of applying the genetic approach to the Wiener deconvolution for satellite image restoration through the optimization of this regularization term in order to achieve the best possible result.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116369346","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}

These methods are based on features extraction as compared and matched with HCL2000 database [1]. Several algorithms were applied for binarization, smoothing, noise reduction and thinning to an image of a single Chinese character. Then the image is given to a structural feature extracting algorithm, which transforms that character into an undirected graph with unique coordinates of all nodes. The resulting graph was compared with 3755 samples from the database one by one, whose features are also extracted and stored in a graph. The total deviation between two characters was obtained by comparing edges from the generated undirected graph representing a character and its counterpart graph which is generated from the image in HCL 2000 database. Based on the measurements of lengths, orientation, and areas between lines, the best match was selected as the result of recognition. Additional principles are also included in order to assure the accuracy. During the matching, the graph may sometimes be slightly transformed or modified to maximize the fitness criteria. Experimental results are accomplished by the use of 1000 random characters to test the effectiveness. The accuracy of the recognition system is significant. Analysis and experimental results are presented.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125001119","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}

The proposed fabrication process of shaped circuit is compatible with a typical printed circuit manufacturing and electronics assembly. Once the circuit is completed in its flat shape, its random final functional shape is given using thermoforming. In order to be able to deform a given flat circuit to its final form with predictable final spatial positions of components and interconnections. A FEM simulation is conducted to model the thermoforming of polymer based electronic circuits. As one of the process outputs, the wall thickness distribution predicted for the final part is compared with the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128546106","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}

These meshes are often generated by isosurfacing representations or also by scanning devices. Unfortunately, such meshes are dense and they contain many redundant vertices and irregular sampling. This make meshes unable to support multiple applications as storage, display, compression or transmission. To solve these problems and reduce the complexity, the mesh quality (connectivity regularity) must be improved. This improvement is called remeshing. On the other hand, many researches techniques have been done to exploit a mesh' local planarity to optimize its geometric representation. This paper presents a novel multiresolution approach of remeshing based on planar proxies.","PeriodicalId":351561,"journal":{"name":"2016 13th International Conference on Computer Graphics, Imaging and Visualization (CGiV)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116990785","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}
