Lagoon water quality monitoring based on digital image analysis and machine learning estimators

Y Li, X Wang, Z Zhao, S Han, Z Liu - Water research, 2020 - Elsevier
Lagoon has been widely used to treat animal wastewater. However, because lagoon
effluent often fluctuates in water quality, land application of the effluent may pose a risk to the …

Image statistics for surface reflectance perception

L Sharan, Y Li, I Motoyoshi, S Nishida… - Journal of the Optical …, 2008 - opg.optica.org
Human observers can distinguish the albedo of real-world surfaces even when the surfaces
are viewed in isolation, contrary to the Gelb effect. We sought to measure this ability and to …

Disparity, motion, and color information improve gloss constancy performance
