We obtain an upper escape rate function for a continuous time minimal symmetric Markov chain defined on a locally finite weighted graph. This upper rate function, which has the same form as the manifold setting, is given in terms of the volume growth with respect to an adapted path metric. Our...

In recent years, considerable research efforts have been directed to micro-array technologies and their role in providing simultaneous information on expression profiles for thousands of genes. These data, when subjected to clustering and classification procedures, can assist in identifying...

Vast reserves of information are found in ancient texts, scripts, stone tablets etc. However due to difficulty in creating new physical copies of such texts, knowledge to be obtained from them is limited to those few who have access to such resources. With the advent of Optical Character...

Gathering and examining progressively multi-modular sensor information of human faces is a critical issue in PC vision, with applications in examinations, entertainment, and security. However, due to the exigent nature of the problem, there is a lack of affordable and easy-to-use systems, with...

Falls are the major health problem among older people who live alone in their home. In the past few years, several studies have been proposed to solve the dilemma especially those which exploit video surveillance. In this paper, in order to allow older adult to safely continue living in home...

Introduction and objective: Computer Aided Decision (CAD) systems based on Medical Imaging could support radiologists in grading Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by means of Computed Tomography (CT) images, thus avoiding medical invasive procedures such as biopsies. The identification and...

This article describes how robust image processing application rely heavily on image descriptors extracted. Limited work is carried out in adopting probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA) models for image processing. A finite state automata for image processing (FSAFIP) method is presented...

The article proposes an image processing-based automatic methodology for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In pathology, staining and sectioning of tissues are routinely used as a primary technique to detect cancer. In this methodology, the colorectal gland tissues are segmented by using...

Image Mosaicing is an image processing technique that arises from the need of having a more realistic view of the real world wider than the view captured by the lenses of the available cameras. In this paper, a sequence of images will be mosaiced using binary edge detection algorithm in a...
