Slums are a global urban challenge, with less developed countries being particularly
impacted. To adequately detect and map them, data is needed on their location, spatial …

With consumer concerns increasing over food quality and safety, the food industry has
begun to pay much more attention to the development of rapid and reliable food-evaluation …

The functional properties of myosin play a key role in the final quality characteristics of meat
products. To explore the molecular mechanism of inulin in improving the properties of …

A new unsupervised approach for characterizing seafloor in side-looking sonar imagery is
proposed. The approach is based on lacunarity, which measures the pixel-intensity …

Fractal dimension and lacunarity were applied to study the structure and irregularities of
fried batters. Using scanning electron microscopy, images of batter surfaces were captured …

Image analysis is used as a fundamental tool for recognizing, differentiating, and quantifying
diverse types of images, including grayscale and color images, multispectral images for a …

Three starches from different botanical sources were stored at different temperatures during
four days in order to monitor their retrogradation by means of fractal analysis. To this end …

Abstract Microcomputed-tomography (micro-CT) is a 3D imaging method capable of
revealing the complete inner structure of materials. Besides imaging, micro-CT also provides …

Application of pulsed electric fields (PEF) to food is a nonthermal technology of food
processing. The short pulses of high intensity electric field can modify the internal structures …

Lacunarity (L) is a scale (r)-dependent parameter that was developed for quantifying
clustering in fractals and has subsequently been employed to characterize various natural …
