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 ...

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 ...

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

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