Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION OF EXUDATES USING FUZZY MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGYKittipol Wisaeng, Nualsawat Hiransakolwong, Ekkarat PothirukDiabetic Retinopathy is the damage to the retina caused by complication and the most common cause of blindness in Thailand. Retinal image is essential for expert ophthalmologists to diagnose diseases. Several of method can achieve good performance on retinal feature are clearly visible. Unfortunately, the color retinal image in Thailand are low-resolution images. The existing method cannot identified low-resolution image. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 18 Jan 2014 · 6,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVEMENT OF AUTOMATIC HEMORRHAGES DETECTION METHODS USING SHAPES RECOGNITIONNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Enas Hamood Al SaadiDiabetic Retinopathy is a medical condition where the retina is damaged because fluid leaks from blood vessels into the retina. The presence of hemorrhages in the retina is the earliest symptom of diabetic retinopathy. The number and shape of hemorrhages is used to indicate the severity of the disease. Early automated hemorrhage detection can help reduce the incidence of blindness. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,486 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCryptococcal Meningitis in Immunocompetent Patient-Case ReportYanes Brum Bello, Hanna Guapyassu Machado, Juliana Freitas Silveira et al.Cryptococcal Meningitis (CM) is a rare infection in immunocompetent patients. A kind of central nervous system infection caused by encapsulated yeast-like fungus Cryptococcus neoformans. A 59-year-old man presented to the Neurology Department of Nova Iguacu General Hospital, complaining has felt &#34muddled&#34 recently and feeling diaphragmatic spasm without any apparent cause. In addition, at neurological examination, the patient was slightly confused … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 2 May 2013 · 8,001 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Using Texture SegmentationG. Tamil Pavai, S. Tamil SelviIn this study, it is proposed fast texture segmentation of detection of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. proliferative diabetic retinopathy is characterized by the revascularization on the optic disc or on the retinal area or both, as a result of diabetes mellitus. It may leads to the blindness if it is not detected and treated in proper time. This study proposes a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 26 Apr 2013 · 6,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybridization of Enhanced Artificial Bee Colony-Least Squares Support Vector Machines for Price ForecastingZuriani Mustaffa, Yuhanis YusofProblem statement: As the performance of Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LSSVM) is highly rely on its value of regularization parameter, γ and kernel parameter, σ2, man-made approach is clearly not an appropriate solution since it may lead to blindness in certain extent. In addition, this technique is time consuming and unsystematic, which consequently affect the generalization performance of LSSVM. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 28 Aug 2012 · 6,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRetinal Image Analysis for Abnormality Detection-An OverviewR. Karthikeyan, P. AlliProblem statement: Classification plays a major role in retinal image analysis for detecting the various abnormalities in retinal images. Classification refers to one of the mining concepts using supervised or unsupervised learning techniques. Approach: Diabetic retinopathy is one of the common complications of diabetes. Unfortunately, in many cases, the patient is not aware any symptoms until it is too late … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 24 Jan 2012 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDot Detection of Braille Images Using A Mixture of Beta DistributionsAmany Al-Saleh, Ali El-Zaart, Abdul Malik Al-SalmanProblem statement: Braille is a tactile format of written communication for people with low vision and blindness worldwide. Optical Braille Recognition (OBR) offers many benefits to Braille users and people who work with them. Approach: This study presents an algorithm for detecting dots composing braille characters in an image of embossed braille material obtained by an optical scanner. We assumed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 6 Sep 2011 · 7,436 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System Approach for the Automatic Screening of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus ImagesS. Kavitha, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most significant factors contributing to blindness and so early diagnosis and timely treatment is particularly important to prevent visual loss. Approach: An integrated approach for extraction of blood vessels and exudates detection was proposed to screen diabetic retinopathy. An automated classifier was developed based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to differentiate … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhilosophical ProstitutionAmihud GileadProblem statement: This research was needed because some philosophers were subject to a form of blindness concerning prostitution. This blindness was caused mainly by a lack of philosophical insights. The context of the work was that valid arguments without such insights must be blind.
