The results showed that the proposed algorithm can be successfully applied to monitor the flotation process at different conditions.","PeriodicalId":370476,"journal":{"name":"2013 First Iranian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRIA)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125927311","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}

If diagnosed correctly and in time, it may cause fewer death tolls. The most important method of diagnosing this type of cancer is using mammography imaging. In some cases, the diagnosis may be incorrect. In the present article, Cellular Automata is used for the diagnosis of breast cancer type micro-calsification (or tiny calcium particle sediments). In this approach the mammography image of the alleged patient is converted to an optimum image through preprocessing. Next, this image is entered into a cellular network to determine its cluster center. The results achieved by this approach on DDSM indicated that diagnosis based on the approach introduced in this article can be a useful combination for the traditional methods.","PeriodicalId":370476,"journal":{"name":"2013 First Iranian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRIA)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114650484","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}

This algorithm uses a FIS with 4 simple rules to identify the probable edge pixels in 4 main directions, then the ACO is applied for assigning a higher pheromone value for the probable edge pixels rather than other pixels so that the ants movement toward edge pixels get faster. Another factor that needs to be considered in order to conduct the ants' movement is the influence of the heuristic information in the movement of any ant to be proportional to local change in intensity of each pixel. Finally, by using an intelligent thresholding technique which is provided by training a neural network, the edges from the final pheromone matrix are extracted. Experimental results are provided in order to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":370476,"journal":{"name":"2013 First Iranian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRIA)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115099303","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}

Up to now many researchers have addressed many applications of this new structure, including rotation, scaling, and edge detection. In this paper, we apply this new structure and consider its application in de-noising. We also introduce a new method for de-noising images with hexagonal pixel structures. Then, we will compare the obtained results with images of square structures. Experimental results show that the proposed de-nosing algorithm on the image with hexagonal pixels improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio compared with de-noising square pixels algorithm.","PeriodicalId":370476,"journal":{"name":"2013 First Iranian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (PRIA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127250178","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}

In this paper a novel ROI soccer video compression method is proposed which employs wavelet-domain block matching, shot boundary detection, Enhanced EBCOT coding, and region-of-interest detection techniques. The compression performance of the proposed method is compared to that of two conventional methods/standards of MPEG4 and FLV.
