Circular object detection using a modified Hough transform

Marcin Smereka, Ignacy Dulęba (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A practical modification of the Hough transform is proposed that improves the detection of low-contrast circular objects. The original circular Hough transform and its numerous modifications are discussed and compared in order to improve both the efficiency and computational complexity of the algorithm. Medical images are selected to verify the algorithm. In particular, the algorithm is applied to localize cell nuclei of cytological smears visualized using a phase contrast microscope. ...

Data Extraction from Carte Du Ciel Triple Images

Laskov, Lasko, Tsvetkov, Milcho (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Carte du Ciel (from French, map of the sky) is a part of a 19th century extensive international astronomical project whose goal was to map the entire visible sky. The results of this vast effort were collected in the form of astrographic plates and their paper representatives that are called astrographic maps and are widely distributed among many observatories and astronomical institutes over the world. Our goal is to design methods and algorithms to automatically extract data from digitized...

Visual simultaneous localisation and map-building supported by structured landmarks

Robert Bączyk, Andrzej Kasiński (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Visual simultaneous localisation and map-building systems which take advantage of some landmarks other than point-wise environment features are not frequently reported. In the following paper the method of using the operational map of robot surrounding, which is complemented with visible structured passive landmarks, is described. These landmarks are used to improve self-localisation accuracy of the robot camera and to reduce the size of the Kalman-filter state-vector with respect to...

Hand gesture recognition based on free-form contours and probabilistic inference

Włodzimierz Kasprzak, Artur Wilkowski, Karol Czapnik (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A computer vision system is described that captures color image sequences, detects and recognizes static hand poses (i.e., "letters") and interprets pose sequences in terms of gestures (i.e., "words"). The hand object is detected with a double-active contour-based method. A tracking of the hand pose in a short sequence allows detecting "modified poses", like diacritic letters in national alphabets. The static hand pose set corresponds to hand signs of a thumb alphabet. Finally, by tracking...
