Ocean wind and wave parameters can be measured by in-situ sensors such as
anemometers and buoys. Since the 1980s, X-band marine radar has evolved as one of the …

Leaves and roots live in dramatically different habitats, but are parts of the same organism.
Automated image processing of time-lapse records of these organs has led to …

Global positioning systems like GPS or the future European Galileo are influencing the world
of navigation tremendously. Today, everybody is concerned with navigation even if unaware …

A new fuzzy filter is presented for the noise reduction of images corrupted with additive
noise. The filter consists of two stages. The first stage computes a fuzzy derivative for eight …

Although most optical flow techniques presume brightness constancy, it is well-known that
this constraint is often violated, producing poor estimates of image motion. This paper …

Aims Production of biomass and yield in natural and agronomic conditions depend on the
endogenous growth capacity of plants and on the environmental conditions constraining it …

Image processing is fast becoming a valuable tool for analyzing multidimensional data in all
areas of natural science. Since the publication of the best-selling first edition of this …

A newly developed technique based on image sequence analysis allows automatic and
precise quantification of the dynamics of the growth velocity of the root tip, the distribution of …

This paper introduces a new hybrid algorithm named Transient Search Naked Mole-Rat
Optimizer (TsNMRO), based on the hybridization of transient search optimizer (TSO) merged …

Optical flow estimation remains challenging due to untextured areas, motion boundaries,
occlusions, and more. Thus, the estimated flow is not equally reliable across the image. To …
