Abstract Image segmentation methods can be classified broadly into two classes: intensity-based and geometry-based. Edge detection is the base of many geometry-based segmentation approaches. Scale space theory represents a systematic treatment of the issues of spatially uncorrelated noise with its main application being the detection of edges, using multiple resolution scales, which can be used for subsequent segmentation, classification or encoding. The present paper will give an overview of some recent applications of scale spaces into problems of microscopic image analysis. Particular overviews will be given to Gaussian and alpha-scale spaces. Some applications in the analysis of biomedical images will be presented. The implementation of filters will be demonstrated.

Full-color three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a powerful process to manufacture intelligent customized colorful objects with improved surface qualities; however, poor surface color optimization methods are the main impeding factors for its commercialization. As such, the paper explored the correlation between microstructure and color reproduction, then an assessment and prediction method of color optimization based on microscopic image analysis was proposed. The experimental models were divided into 24-color plates and 4-color cubes printed by ProJet 860 3D printer, then impregnated according to preset parameters, at last measured by a spectrophotometer and observed using both a digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The results revealed that the samples manifested higher saturation and smaller chromatic aberration ([Formula: see text]) after postprocessing. Moreover, the brightness of the same color surface increased with the increasing soaked surface roughness. Further, reduction in surface roughness, impregnation into surface pores, and enhancement of coating transparency effectively improved the accuracy of color reproduction, which could be verified by the measured values. Finally, the chromatic aberration caused by positioning errors on different faces of the samples was optimized, and the value of [Formula: see text] for a black cube was reduced from 8.12 to 0.82, which is undetectable to human eyes.

Abstract. Leaf is one important part of a plant normally used to classify the types of plants. The introduction process of mango leaves of mangung and manalagi mango is done based on the leaf edge image detection. In this research the conventional edge detection process was replaced by ant colony optimization method. It is aimed to optimize the result of edge detection of mango leaf midrib and veins image. The application of ant colony optimization method successfully optimizes the result of edge detection of a mango leaf midrib and veins structure. This is demonstrated by the detection of bony edges of the leaf structure which is thicker and more detailed than using a conventional edge detection. Classification testing using k-nearest neighbor method obtained 66.67% accuracy. Keywords: edge detection, ant colony optimization, classification, k-nearest neighbor. Abstrak. Pengembangan Metode Ant Colony Optimization Pada Klasifikasi Tanaman Mangga Menggunakan K-Nearest Neighbor. Daun merupakan salah satu bagian penting dari tanaman yang biasanya digunakan untuk proses klasifikasi jenis tanaman. Proses pengenalan daun mangga gadung dan mangga manalagi dilakukan berdasarkan deteksi tepi citra struktur tulang daun. Pada penelitian ini proses deteksi tepi konvensional digantikan dengan metode ant colony optimization. Hal ini bertujuan untuk optimasi hasil deteksi tepi citra tulang daun mangga. Penerapan metode ant colony optimization berhasil mengoptimalkan hasil deteksi tepi struktur tulang daun mangga. Hal ini ditunjukkan berdasarkan dari hasil deteksi tepi citra struktur tulang daun yang lebih tebal dan lebih detail dibandingkan menggunakan deteksi tepi konvensional. Pengujian klasifikasi dengan metode k-nearest neighbor didapatkan nilai akurasi sebesar 66,67%.Kata Kunci: deteksi tepi, ant colony optimization, klasifiaksi, k-nearest neighbor.
