Current level‐2 condition assessment methods for critical infrastructure assets mostly rely on human visual investigation of visible damages and patterns at the structure surface, which can be a costly, time‐consuming, and subjective exercise in reality. In this article, a novel method for crack detection is proposed via salient structure extractio...

A reliable crack detection system is essential for automatic safety inspection of infrastructures such as roads and bridges. Queensland's population is increasing, putting greater pressure on our already aging civil infrastructure. To get the most out of government investment in our State's thousands of bridges, we need to find quicker, cheaper and...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an important cancer imaging tool, both for diagnosing and staging, as well as offering predictive information based on response. PET is a nuclear medicine imaging technique which produces a three-dimensional image of functional processes in the body. While PET is commonly used to detect the tumors, especially i...

Finding similar images to a given query image can be computed by different distance measures. One of the general distance measures is the earth mover's Distance (EMD). Although EMD has proven its ability to retrieve similar images in an average precision of around 95%, high execution time is its major drawback. Embedding EMD into L1 is a solution t...
