A parallel implementation of JPEG2000 encoder on multi-GPU system
There has been an increase in the demand for a high-quality video codec that supports 4K (3,840 × 2,160) or more. JPEG2000 is an important technique for data compression, which…

A comparison of algorithms and humans for mitosis detection
We consider the problem of detecting mitotic figures in breast cancer histology slides. We investigate whether the performance of state-of-the-art detection algorithms is comparable to the performance of humans, when…
No-reference blur assessment in natural images using Fourier transform and spatial pyramids
In this paper we propose a no-reference image blur assessment model that performs partial blur detection in the frequency domain. Specifically, our method exploits the information derived from the power spectrum of…
Enhanced technique for cylindrical object diameter measurement via low-cost and innovated rotational non-intrusive sensor
Precise tree diameter estimation for a lightweight and intelligent vehicle such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a commercial farm is still an unresolved problem. A lot of UAVs and…
Feature Importance in Nonlinear Embeddings (FINE): Applications in Digital Pathology
Quantitative histomorphometry (QH) refers to the process of computationally modeling disease appearance on digital pathology images. This procedure typically involves extraction of hundreds of features, which may be used to predict disease presence, aggressiveness, or…
Cloud authentication based on encryption of digital image using edge detection
The security of cloud computing is the most important concerns that may delay its well-known adoption. Authentication is the central part of cloud security, targeting to gain valid users for…
The Analysis of Image Contrast: From Quality Assessment to Automatic Enhancement
Proper contrast change can improve the perceptual quality of most images, but it has largely been overlooked in this paper of image quality assessment (IQA). To fill this void, we, in this paper,…
Design of implantable patch antenna for biomedical application
In this work, an implantable antenna is proposed for short-range biomedical applications. The design of implantable antennas mainly emphasizes miniaturization and biocompatibility. Conserving energy to extend the life span of the implantable…
Biomedical Research in Italy: From wearable sensorts to tissue engineering, Italian biomedical engineers continue a long-established legacy of scientific inquiry.
From the Colosseum to the Roman aqueducts, Italy has historically been admired, envied, and imitated for its feats in advanced engineering. Beginning with Leonardo da Vinci?s military tanks and extending…
Human action recognition based on motion capture information using fuzzy convolution neural networks
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for human action recognition based on motion capture (MOCAP) information using a Fuzzy convolutional neural network. The MOCAP tracking information of human joints is…
