Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFractional Lion Algorithm-An Optimization Algorithm for Data ClusteringSatish Chander, P. Vijaya, Praveen DhyaniClustering divides the data available as bulk into meaningful, useful groups (Clusters) without any prior knowledge about the data. Cluster analysis provides an abstraction from individual data objects to the clusters in which those objects reside. It is a key technique in the data mining and has become an important issue in many fields. This paper presents a novel Fractional … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 12 Aug 2016 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStatic Hand Gestures: Fingertips Detection Based on Segmented ImagesAhmad Yahya Dawod, Md Jan Nordin, Junaidi AbdullahFingertips detection is important for recognition of static gesture in sign language. This paper presents a new method that is based on YCbCr colour space and skeletonization for fingertips detection towards gesture segmentation and recognition. The method begins with the conversion of an image in RGB colour space into YCbCr colour space. Then, the chrominance Cb and Cr are extracted … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 4 Feb 2016 · 7,032 accessesView PDFCite
