EDGE DETECTION OF HIGH-VOLTAGE PORCELAIN INSULATORS IN INFRARED IMAGE USING DUAL PARITY MORPHOLOGICAL GRADIENTS

Edge Detection of High-Voltage Porcelain Insulators in Infrared Image Using Dual Parity Morphological Gradients

A new edge detection operator based on dual parity morphological gradients is proposed, in order to fr9352 accurately segment a porcelain insulator string in an infrared image before the identification and diagnosis of deteriorated insulators by the extracted thermal information.When applied to the double-shed insulators, the proposed detector is c

Global diversity of the Placozoa.

The enigmatic animal phylum Placozoa holds a key position in the metazoan Tree of Life.A simple bauplan makes it appear to be the most basal metazoan known and genetic evidence also points to a position close to the last common metazoan ancestor.Trichoplax adhaerens is the only formally described species in the phylum to date, making the Placozoa t
