Darkness is the inverse state of the brightness, is obtained as an absence of noticeable light and illumination. Generally, face detection applications cannot detect any human face in a dark image, where the image has captured from the dark environment or dark night. In this manuscript, we demonstrate our experiment, where we use Contrast Stretching, Histogram Equalization and Adaptive Equalization techniques for detecting any human face in any dark image. In this paper, we also illustrate our proposed algorithm, working procedure and differentiate the pixel intensity of different stage of image processing. We essentially do this research from an application perspective, where a software application detects the human face from a dark photo or a very low-contrast image and the photo has been captured from an excessive dark environment.

Manual assessment of soybean yield components, such as pod number, is laborious, time-consuming, and subjective. Existing computer-vision approaches based on object detection or instance segmentation perform poorly on close-range RGB imagery of soybean canopies due to severe occlusions, ambiguous plant boundaries, and the high cost of bounding-box annotation. To address these challenges, we propose a ...

We develop a new three-party quantum secret-sharing (QSS) protocol based on a three-qubit W state. This protocol encodes the secret-sequence bits using X gates and employs randomly selected Hadamard operations and measurement bases to generate information and security-test rounds. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed protocol and analyze its security against an internal adversary ...

Improving image quality is becoming an increasingly popular task, especially when working with mobile devices. One common approach to image enhancement is the use of convolutional neural networks. However, to achieve good results, such networks must be large enough, otherwise there is a risk of unwanted artifacts. In addition, large convolutional neural networks require significant ...

Oil spill segmentation in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is limited by noisy annotations in publicly available datasets and by architectural choices that interact with label quality in opposing directions. First, we introduce a manually refined version of the Deep-SAR Oil Spill (SOS) dataset, in which 36.25% of masks are corrected for false positives, missed ...

The carbon balance of an ecosystem is the difference between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (Reco) as expressed by Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE). While remote sensing retrievals of GPP have reached maturity, Reco estimation remains underexplored and ultimately cast bias on NEE. Here we present an end-to-end multi-scale analysis of the mechanism of ...

This paper addresses the challenge of merging hierarchical navigable small world (HNSW) graphs, a critical operation for distributed systems, incremental indexing, and database compaction. We propose three algorithms for this task: Naive Graph Merge (NGM), Intra Graph Traversal Merge (IGTM), and Cross Graph Traversal Merge (CGTM). These algorithms differ in their approach to vertex selection ...

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...

Digital human models (DHM) for virtual environments allow a cost-effective and reproducible evaluation of computer vision algorithms that are employed in robotics, e.g., human detection, tracking and following. Yet, many popular robotics simulators do not achieve a reasonable level of realism and diversity required to rigorously test such algorithms under varying conditions. This paper introduces ...

Label prediction in neural networks (NNs) has O(n) complexity proportional to the number of classes. This holds true for classification using fully connected layers and cosine similarity with some set of class prototypes.
