Tailoring Electrolytic Deposition of Zn-Ni Alloys for Superior Corrosion Resistance in Harsh Environments
Abstract: Since Zn–Ni alloy coatings are more resistant to corrosion than pure zinc coatings, they are being researched extensively. In this study, Zn–Ni alloy coatings electrolytically deposited from an acidic sulfate bath are investigated. The study looks into how the microstructure, phase composition, and corrosion resistance of the coatings are affected by deposition factors like pH, current density, and electrolyte composition. X-ray diffraction (XRD), potentiodynamic polarization, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) …

Redundant Keypoint Elimination Using Redundancy Index on Basic SIFT Algorithm
Abstract: ABSTRACT Matching features across different images is a common problem in computer vision. For the images of different scales and rotations, there is the need of scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT). SIFT identifies the distinctive keypoints that are invariant to location, scale, rotation, robust to affine transformations (changes in scale, rotation, shear, and position) and changes in illumination, which are usable for object recognition. SIFT algorithm includes two main stages: feature …
