The labeling of discretized image data is one of the most essential operations in digital image processing. The notions of an adjacency system of pixels and the complementarity of two such systems are crucial to guarantee consistency of any labeling routine. In to date's publications, this complementarity usually is defined using discrete versions of the Jordan-Veblen curve theorem and the Jordan-Brouwer surface theorem for 2D and 3D images, respectively. In contrast, we follow here an alternative concept, which relies on a consistency relation for the Euler number. This relation and all necessary definitions are easily stated in a uniform manner for the n-dimensional case. For this, we present identification and convergence results for complementary adjacency systems, supplemented by examples for the 3D case. Next, we develop a pseudo-code for a general labeling algorithm. The application of such an algorithm should be assessed with regard to our preceding considerations. A benchmark and a thorough discussion finish our article.

The development of biology has been a major step in explaining variations in form. Information on the morphometric characteristics of A. marina leaves can be collected, managed, calculated and displayed visually using the current emerging technologies. The emerging technology is image processing software. In this study, the leaf identification was performed automatically on digital image data to measure variations and make morphometrics leaf digitalization using the software. Measurement and visualization on the morphometric s of the shape based on digital image data is still rare. To know the comparison of morphometric characters of leaf based on location difference, the research was done by comparing morphometric of A. marina leaves in Bintauna and Tongkaina using digital image processing technology and object analysis. A. marina leaf samples were collected and imaged with the camera. Furthermore, the image is processed with ImageJ to obtain the results of morphometric character and leaf landmark data. The results of the length ratio and width of the leaf were tested by t test, while the landmark data was visualized with PAST software. Image data also analyzed and visualized using elliptic Fourier descriptors (EFDs) method, plus visualization of the size and overall shape of leaf contours using Photoshop. The results showed that the size of A. marina leaves in Tongkaina are greater than that of Bintauna. A. marina leaves at Tongkaina have a length of 65,36 mm, width 36,02 mm, wide by 169,24 mm2 and circle 178,78 mm, While in Bintauna have a length of 63,76 mm, width 31,82 mm, width 149.63 mm2 and circle 166.50 mm. Visualization applied directly on A. marina leaf shape using the technique of point of coordinates of leaf (landmark) and leaf edge contour detection technique using Photoshop, the result of a whole analysis indicates that A. marina leaves in Tongkaina have symmetrical mean (morphometric) which is slightly different than those in Bintauna. Based on the result of EFDs method calculation and statistical t test, the result shows that leaf size of both populations of A. marina in Tongkaina and Bintauna has no difference.Keywords: Digital Imagery, Visualization, Morphometrics, Avicennia marina, Bintauna, TongkainaABSTRAKPerkembangan biologi telah menjadi langkah besar dalam menjelaskan variasi bentuk.

Abstract. Microsoft Excel is not considered a typical software for digital image processing and analysis. However, based on its large data handling and graphing capabilities, as well as its widespread usage, it presents a good opportunity for use as a tool for teaching image data processing or use in demonstrations requiring little training. It also lends itself well as a potentially useful research tool that can benefit a wide range of users including those with little or no computer programming knowledge. This article demonstrates a new method which can be adopted for teaching concepts of image processing and analysis, consisting of systematic procedures for implementing typical operations in Excel. Categories of operations demonstrated using this method include image preprocessing, image enhancement, image classification, analysis of change over time, and image data fusion. Examples of outputs resulting from using this new method are discussed in the article. The success of this proposed method is hinged on the availability of the required image data, based on which a simple graphical user interface (GUI) application was developed in MATLAB. That application, RGBExcel or the later RGB2X, extracts RGB image data from image files of any format and file size, and exports to Excel for processing. Deployed as standalone applications, both versions can be installed on a 64-bit windows computer and run without MATLAB. Keywords: Color images, Multispectral imagery, Remote sensing, RGB image data, RGB2X, RGBExcel.

Edge detection is the first step to cover information in the image. The edges characterize the boundaries of objects and therefore edges are useful for the process of segmentation and identification in the image. The purpose of edge detection is to increase the appearance of the boundary line of the object in the image. The sobel method is a method that uses two kernels measuring 3x3 pixels for gradient calculations so that the estimate gradient is right in the middle of the window. Digital image processing aims to manipulate image data and analyze an image with the help of a computer. Matlab is made to facilitate the use of two collections of subroutines in the fortran library, linpack and eispack, in handling matrix computing, and develops into an interactive system as a programming language. Experimental results from the input image research, namely the flower image have different MSE values because each input image has a different pixel value

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

INTRODUCTION.- The physical properties of rock masses are greatly influenced by their internal discontinuities, like pores and fissures. So, these need to be measured as a basis for interpretation. To avoid the basic difficulties of measurement under optical microscopy and analogic image systems, the authors use S.E.M. and multiband digital image processing. In S.E.M., analog signal processing has been used to further image enhancement (1), but automatic information extraction can be achieved by simple digital processing of S.E.M. images (2). The use of multiband image would overcome difficulties such as artifacts introduced by the relative positions of sample and detector or the typicals encountered in optical microscopy.DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING.- The studied rock specimens were in the form of flat deformation-free surfaces observed under a Phillips SEM model 500. The SEM detector output signal was recorded in picture form in b&w negatives and digitized using a Perkin Elmer 1010 MP flat microdensitometer.

Semiconductor-metal composites, formed by the eutectic solidification of silicon and a metal silicide have been under investigation for some time for a number of electronic device applications. This composite system is comprised of a silicon matrix containing extended metal-silicide rod-shaped structures aligned in parallel throughout the material. The average diameter of such a rod in a typical system is about 1 μm. Thus, characterization of the rod morphology by electron microscope methods is necessitated.The types of morphometric information that may be obtained from such microscopic studies coupled with image processing are (i) the area fraction of rods in the matrix, (ii) the average rod diameter, (iii) an average circularity (roundness), and (iv) the number density (Nd;rods/cm2). To acquire electron images of these materials, a digital image processing system (Tracor Northern 5500/5600) attached to a JEOL JXA-840 analytical SEM has been used.
