Many machine-vision applications require a pattern-finding tool (PFT), but traditional PFTs based on normalized cross correlation (NCC) techniques suffer major drawbacks. For example, the patterns to ...

Particles as different as soap bubbles and ball bearings can be made to arrange themselves in exactly the same way, according ...

Once a machine-vision system has acquired an image, a software image-analysis algorithm, known as a pattern-finding tool (PFT), must determine whether the image contains a particular pattern. While ...

A database, collecting and classifying tile-like patterns in biology, aims to be a resource and research catalyst. The human ...
