    • Arthritic hand-finger movement similarity measurements: Tolerance near set approach 

      Henry, Christopher (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)
      The problem considered in this paper is how to measure the degree of resemblance between nonarthritic and arthritic hand movements during rehabilitation exercise. The solution to this problem stems from recent work on a ...
    • Automated LULC Map Production using Deep Neural Networks 

      Henry, Christopher J.; Storie, Christopher; Palaniappan, Muthu; Alhassan, Victor; Swamy, Mallikarjun; Aleshinloye, Damilola; Curtis, Andrew; Kima, Daeyoun (Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-17)
      This article presents an approach to automating the creation of land-use/land-cover classification (LULC) maps from satellite images using deep neural networks that were developed to perform semantic segmentation of natural ...
    • A Deep Learning Framework: Land-Use/Land-Cover Mapping and Analysis using Multispectral Satellite Imagery 

      Alhassan, Victor; Henry, Christopher; Ramanna, Sheela; Storie, Christopher (Springer, 2019-07-17)
      In this article, we present an approach to land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping from multispectral satellite images using deep learning methods. The terms satellite image classification and map production, although used ...
    • A Descriptive Tolerance Nearness Measure for Performing Graph Comparison 

      Henry, Christopher J.; Awais, Syed Aqeel (IOS Press, 2018-11-03)
      This article proposes the tolerance nearness measure (TNM) as a computationally reduced alternative to the graph edit distance (GED) for performing graph comparisons. The TNM is defined within the context of near set theory, ...
    • Descriptive Topological Spaces for Performing Visual Search 

      Yu, Jiajie; Henry, Christopher J. (Springer, 2019-02-02)
      This article presents an approach to performing the task of visual search in the context of descriptive topological spaces. The presented algorithm forms the basis of a descriptive visual search system (DVSS) that is based ...
    • An embedded system for the automated generation of labeled plant images to enable machine learning applications in agriculture 

      Beck, Michael A.; Liu, Chen-Yi; Bidinosti, Christopher P.; Henry, Christopher J.; Godee, Cara M.; Ajmani, Manisha (PLOS, 2020-12-17)
      A lack of sufficient training data, both in terms of variety and quantity, is often the bottleneck in the development of machine learning (ML) applications in any domain. For agricultural applications, ML-based models ...
    • Leveraging Guided Backpropagation to Select Convolutional Neural Networks for Plant Classification 

      Mostafa, Sakib; Mondal, Debajyoti; Beck, Michael A.; Bidinosti, Christopher P.; Henry, Christopher J.; Stavness, Ian (2022-05-11)
      The development of state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN) has allowed researchers to perform plant classification tasks previously thought impossible and rely on human judgment. Researchers often develop ...
    • Measuring the nearness of layered flow graphs: Application to Content Based Image Retrieval 

      Kaur, Kanwarpreet; Ramanna, Sheela; Henry, Christopher (IOS Press, 2016-03-01)
      Rough set based flow graphs represent the flow of information for a given data set where branches of these could be constructed as decision rules. However, in the recent years, the concept of flow graphs has been applied ...
    • Metric free nearness measure using description-based neighbourhoods 

      Henry, Christopher J. (Springer, 2013-02-26)
      The focus of this paper is on a metric free nearness measure for quantifying the descriptive nearness of digital images. Regions of Interest (ROI) play an important role in discerning perceptual similarity within a single ...
    • Neighbourhood-based vision systems 

      Henry, Christopher J.; Peters, James F. (Taylor and Francis, 2011)
      The problem presented in this paper is how to find similarities between digital images useful in design cybernetic vision systems. The solution to this problem stems from a neighbourhood based vision system. A neighbourhood ...
    • Neighbourhoods, classes, and near sets 

      Henry, Christopher J. (Applied Mathematical Sciences,, 2011)
      The article calls attention to the relationship between neighbourhoods and tolerance classes in the foundations of tolerance near sets. A particular form of tolerance relation is given by way of introduction to descriptively ...
