A Comparative Study of Contemporary Color Tongue Image Extraction Methods Based on HSI by Mingfeng Zhu, Jianqiang Du, Chenghua Ding

“…A comparative study of several contemporary tongue image extraction methods is also made from the aspects of accuracy and efficiency. As the experimental results show, geodesic active contour is quite slow and not accurate, the other 3 methods achieve fairly good segmentation results except in the case of the tongue with thick coating, our method achieves ideal segmentation results whatever types of tongue images are, and efficiency of our method is acceptable for the application of quantitative check of tongue image.…”

A Coordinated Allocation Method for Right-Turn Strategy at Signalized Intersections with Optimal Pedestrian and Vehicle Delays by Yu Bai, Wanyan Luo

“…With strict enforcement of pedestrian right of way at all intersections, the inappropriate right-turn resource allocation from a spatial and temporal perspective will lead to a reduction in the operational efficiency of the intersection. In this paper, three spatiotemporal resource allocation schemes for right-turning vehicles are proposed, considering the vehicle and pedestrian traffic efficiency in all directions of the intersection. …”

Constructing the infrared conformal generators on the fuzzy sphere by Giulia Fardelli, Andrew Liam Fitzpatrick, Emanuel Katz

“…We show how to extract these generators using the energy momentum tensor, which is complicated by the fact that one does not have a priori access to the energy momentum tensor of the CFT limit but rather must construct it numerically. We discuss and quantitatively analyze the main sources of corrections to the conformal generators due to the breaking of scale-invariance at finite energy, and develop efficient methods for removing these corrections. …”

Spectrum decomposition in Gaussian scale space for uneven illumination image binarization. by JianWu Long, ZeRan Yan, HongFa Chen, XinLei Song

“…Although most images in industrial applications have fewer targets and simple image backgrounds, binarization is still a challenging task, and the corresponding results are usually unsatisfactory because of uneven illumination interference. In order to efficiently threshold images with nonuniform illumination, this paper proposes an efficient global binarization algorithm that estimates the inhomogeneous background surface of the original image constructed from the first k leading principal components in the Gaussian scale space (GSS). …”
