Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreasing the Reliability of Fuzzy Inference System-Based Skin DetectorAlaa Y. Taqa, Hamid A. JalabProblem statement: Skin detection is a common primitive for many human-related image processing applications, such as video surveillance, naked image filters and face detection. Skin color is considered as a useful and discriminating spatial feature for many applications, but it is not robust enough to deal with complex image environments. Skin tones range from dark (some Africans) to light white … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModified Curvelet Thresholding Algorithm for Image DenoisingAl-Dahoud Ali, Preety D. Swami, J. SinghaiProblem statement: This study introduced an adaptive thresholding method for removing additive white Gaussian noise from digital images. Approach: Curvelet transform employed in the proposed scheme provides sparse decomposition as compared to the wavelet transform methods which being nongeometrical lack sparsity and fail to show optimal rate of convergence. Results: Different behaviors of curvelet transform maxima of image and noise … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEdge Detection in Gray Level Images based on the Shannon EntropyBaljit Singh, Amar P. SinghMost of the classical mathematical methods for edge detection based on the derivative of the pixels of the original image are Gradient operators, Laplacian and Laplacian of Gaussian operators. Gradient based edge detection methods, such as Roberts, Sobel and Prewitts, have used two 2-D linear filters to process vertical edges and horizontal edges separately to approximate first-order derivative of pixel … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocal Features Supported by the Complement Feature for Image SegmentationSalah AmeerAn Eigen formulation is proposed for image thresholding/segmentation. A vector composed of local features, normalized intensity of each pixel and that of the neighboring pixels, is used to represent each pixel. A “complement” component is appended to this vector to produce a “unit” vector. The auto-correlation matrix is computed for each pixel in the image using this unit vector. The … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2020 · 6,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMBINTORIAL TREE BASED FREQUENT PATTERN MININGN. Yamuna Devi, J. Devi ShreeFrequent pattern mining is a process of extracting frequently occurring itemset patterns from very large data storages. These frequent patterns are used to generate association rules which define the relationship among items. The strength of the relationship can be measured using two different units namely support value and confidence level. Any relationship that satisfies minimum threshold of support value is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 23 Jun 2014 · 6,807 accessesView PDFCite

At present, there are no conventional analgesics that can effectively treat neuropathic pain with a satisfactory outcome. Due to the limitation of therapeutic efficacy, the searching for novel effective remedies in the management of neuropathic pain is required.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Method for Testing Digital to Analog Converter in Static RangeK. Hariharan, S. Gouthamraj, B. Subramaniam et al.Problem statement: Linearity testing methods for DAC usually involves usage of non-linear analog components, which are indeed prone to various errors. Few other testing methodologies involve complex circuitry for measuring exactitude of DAC. Practically, it is difficult to build those as Built In Self Test (BIST) due to complexity of calculation, which demands more usage of ALU (or core of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,462 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEDGE PRESERVED IMAGE COMPRESSION USING EXTENDED SHEARLET TRANSFORMS. Thayammal, D. SelvathiThe motivation of the proposed compression method is to reduce the bit rate for image transmission or memory requirement for image storage while maintaining image quality. The edges are one of the prominent features in an image and they are essential for maintaining image quality.
