Abstract

Detection of human is the first and foremost step in any human tracking system. Color and shape based automated human detection algorithm in surveillance videos have been proposed in this paper. Every frame is first divided into R, G, and B frames. The background images for these three basic colors are formed, and three binary images for three colors are formed for every frame. One binary image overlaps over the other to find the common rectangles. Based on the aspect ratio of the rectangle, humans are detected. The proposed algorithm uses both color and the shape aspect in finding the humans. The performance results show that the proposed algorithm has good metrics.

Abstract

Glaucoma is the most common cause of blindness in India. Diagnosis of glaucoma is based on measurement of intraocular pressure by cup area to disc area ratio from the color fundus images. When this intraocular pressure (IOP) is increased in internal eye, vision starts to decline. So, detection of glaucoma is essential for minimizing the vision loss. An approach for detection of glaucoma using fundus images is developed. The Region of interest (ROI) based segmentation is used for the detection of disc. The optic cup and disc localization are used for detecting the region of interest, and Gabor filter is used for edge detection. A Semi automated method using CDR ratio in glaucoma detection of a fundus image has been proposed. The Cup to Disc Ration (CDR) is defined as the ratio of the area between Optic Cup and Optic Disk. Optic cup size increases while the Optic Disc size remains same for a patient in Glaucoma detection and the CDR will be high for a glaucoma patient when comparing with normal fundus image. In this paper the Cup to disc ratio calculation is discussed for detection and classification of glaucoma.

Abstract

In India sixty percentage of the people are depending on Agriculture. The product of the Agriculture depends on the quality of the seeds. Most of the farmers are unaware of what seeds they are using. They may use defected seeds in their fields. To identify the defective seeds, many techniques have been existed. Among those techniques, LBP and its derivatives are good to classify the defected seeds. However, it fails for low contrasted seed images. To overcome these limitations, in this paper GLBP technique is proposed. In this proposed technique, noise pixel, edge pixel, and intensity value of gray level are used to classify the defected seeds. The experimental results in the form of table and graphs show that the proposed method produced better results than the existing systems.

Abstract

A thermal power plant plays an important role for generating the electricity. The thermal power plants require essential elements, which are fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, etc. Coal is burned to generate heat energy in the furnace. Hence, analysis of flame is very important when fuel combustion takes place in a furnace. Combustion quality plays an important role to reduce the wastage of fuel. The combustion quality of fuel is high and has the less wastage of fuel. As fossil fuels are more expensive in cost, Flame image monitoring system plays an important role in analysing the combustion quality. Flame image monitoring system involves capturing the flame image in different instants of time to check the quality of combustion with the help of Back Propagation Algorithm (BPA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) technique (Sujatha et al., 2017). The quality of combustion also depends on the flame temperature. The intelligent sensors are used to monitor the flame temperature and Internet of things (IoT) is used to make the flame monitoring system smarter.
