Abstract Text extraction from images using the traditional techniques of image collecting, and pattern recognition using machine learning consume time due to the amount of extracted features from the images. Deep Neural Networks introduce effective solutions to extract text features from images using a few techniques and the ability to train large datasets of images with significant results. This study proposes using Dual Maxpooling and concatenating convolution Neural Networks (CNN) layers with the activation functions Relu and the Optimized Leaky Relu (OLRelu). The proposed method works by dividing the word image into slices that contain characters. Then pass them to deep… More >

Abstract As deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are widely adopted, the complexity of CNNs is rapidly increasing due to the growing demand for CNN accelerator system-on-chip (SoC). Although conventional CNN accelerators can reduce the computational time of learning and inference tasks, they tend to occupy large chip areas due to many multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operators when implemented in complex digital circuits, incurring excessive power consumption. To overcome these drawbacks, this work implements an analog convolutional filter consisting of an analog multiply-and-accumulate arithmetic circuit along with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This paper introduces the architecture of an analog convolutional… More >

Abstract Researchers and scientists need rapid access to text documents such as research papers, source code and dissertations. Many research documents are available on the Internet and need more time to retrieve exact documents based on keywords. An efficient classification algorithm for retrieving documents based on keyword words is required. The traditional algorithm performs less because it never considers words’ polysemy and the relationship between bag-of-words in keywords. To solve the above problem, Semantic Featured Convolution Neural Networks (SF-CNN) is proposed to obtain the key relationships among the searching keywords and build a structure for matching the words for retrieving correct… More >

Abstract The network infrastructure has evolved rapidly due to the ever-increasing volume of users and data. The massive number of online devices and users has forced the network to transform and facilitate the operational necessities of consumers. Among these necessities, network security is of prime significance. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) are among the most suitable approaches to detect anomalies and assaults on a network. However, keeping up with the network security requirements is quite challenging due to the constant mutation in attack patterns by the intruders. This paper presents an effective and prevalent framework for NIDS by merging image processing… More >

Abstract In 2017, it was estimated that the number of persons of all ages visually affected would be two hundred and eighty-five million, of which thirty-nine million are blind. There are several innovative technical solutions available to facilitate the movement of these people. The next big challenge for technical people is to give cost-effective solutions. One of the challenges for people with visual impairments is navigating safely, recognizing obstacles, and moving freely between locations in unfamiliar environments. A new mobile application solution is developed, and the application can be installed in android mobile. The application will visualize the environment with portable… More >

Abstract The prevalence of melanoma skin cancer has increased in recent decades. The greatest risk from melanoma is its ability to broadly spread throughout the body by means of lymphatic vessels and veins. Thus, the early diagnosis of melanoma is a key factor in improving the prognosis of the disease. Deep learning makes it possible to design and develop intelligent systems that can be used in detecting and classifying skin lesions from visible-light images. Such systems can provide early and accurate diagnoses of melanoma and other types of skin diseases. This paper proposes a new method which can be used for… More >

Abstract Dates are an important part of human nutrition. Dates are high in essential nutrients and provide a number of health benefits. Date fruits are also known to protect against a number of diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Date fruits have several sizes, colors, tastes, and values. There are a lot of challenges facing the date producers. One of the most significant challenges is the classification and sorting of dates. But there is no public dataset for date fruits, which is a major limitation in order to improve the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) models and avoid the overfitting… More >
