Abstract Face tracking is one of the most challenging research topics in computer vision. This paper proposes a framework to track multiple faces in video sequences automatically and presents an improved method based on feature fusion and neural network for multiple faces tracking in a video. The proposed method mainly includes three steps. At first, it is face detection, where an existing method is used to detect the faces in the first frame. Second, faces tracking with feature fusion. Given a video that has multiple faces, at first, all faces in the first frame are detected correctly by using an existing… More >

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction using structured light projection has the characteristics of non-contact, high precision, easy operation, and strong real-time performance. However, for actual measurement, projection modulated images are disturbed by electronic noise or other interference, which reduces the precision of the measurement system. To solve this problem, a 3D measurement algorithm of structured light based on deep learning is proposed. The end-to-end multi-convolution neural network model is designed to separately extract the coarse- and fine-layer features of a 3D image. The point-cloud model is obtained by nonlinear regression. The weighting coefficient loss function is introduced to the multi-convolution neural network,… More >

Abstract Nonlinear stochastic modelling plays an important character in the different fields of sciences such as environmental, material, engineering, chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, and many more. In the current study, we studied the computational dynamics of the stochastic dengue model with the real material of the model. Positivity, boundedness, and dynamical consistency are essential features of stochastic modelling. Our focus is to design the computational method which preserves essential features of the model. The stochastic non-standard finite difference technique is most efficient as compared to other techniques used in literature. Analysis and comparison were explored in favour of convergence. Also, we… More >

Abstract The pathological examination of ocular tumors has specificities in terms of macroscopic management, microscopic analysis, and molecular examinations requiring special attention. We discuss here the difficulties encountered in the reception in the pathological anatomy laboratory of conjunctival samples, enucleation and orbital exenteration pieces, then detail the diagnostic and theranostic, microscopic and molecular characteristics of ocular tumor pathologies. Conjunctival tumors (epithelial, melanocytic and lymphoid), choroidal tumors (including uveal melanoma) and retinoblastoma are treated. Because of their low frequency and their features, these tumors should be the subject of anatomo-clinical discussions.

Abstract Aiming at the problem that the total pressure loss of the flue of the electric precipitator of the 350 MW unit of a power plant to the inlet of the draft fan is too large, the numerical simulation software Fluent and the standard k-ε model was used to simulate the flue, the results show that the main part of the flue mean total pressure loss is derived from the confluence header and elbow. In order to reduce the loss and consider the cost of transformation, the concept of twodimensional feature surface is established, gradually proposed three sets of flue transformation… More >

Abstract Cursive text recognition of Arabic script-based languages like Urdu is extremely complicated due to its diverse and complex characteristics. Evolutionary approaches like genetic algorithms have been used in the past for various optimization as well as pattern recognition tasks, reporting exceptional results. The proposed Urdu ligature recognition system uses a genetic algorithm for optimization and recognition. Overall the proposed recognition system observes the processes of pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, hierarchical clustering, classification rules and genetic algorithm optimization and recognition. The pre-processing stage removes noise from the sentence images, whereas, in segmentation, the sentences are segmented into ligature components. Fifteen features… More >

Abstract Glycation is a non-enzymatic post-translational modification which assigns sugar molecule and residues to a peptide. It is a clinically important attribute to numerous age-related, metabolic, and chronic diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, renal failure, etc. Identification of a non-enzymatic reaction are quite challenging in research. Manual identification in labs is a very costly and time-consuming process. In this research, we developed an accurate, valid, and a robust model named as Gly-LysPred to differentiate the glycated sites from non-glycated sites. Comprehensive techniques using position relative features are used for feature extraction. An algorithm named as a random forest with some preprocessing… More >

Abstract Face image analysis is one among several important cues in computer vision. Over the last five decades, methods for face analysis have received immense attention due to large scale applications in various face analysis tasks. Face parsing strongly benefits various human face image analysis tasks inducing face pose estimation. In this paper we propose a 3D head pose estimation framework developed through a prior end to end deep face parsing model. We have developed an end to end face parts segmentation framework through deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs). For training a deep face parts parsing model, we label face images… More >

Abstract The Fused Modified Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm has been proposed, which selects the most specific feature sets from images of the disease of plant leaves. The Proposed algorithm ensures the detection of diseases during the early stages of the diagnosis of leaf disease by farmers and, finally, the crop needed to be controlled by farmers to ensure the survival and protection of plants. In this study, a novel approach has been suggested based on the standard optimization algorithm for grasshopper and the selection of features. Leaf conditions in plants are a major factor in reducing crop yield and quality. Any delay… More >

Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a disease with an increasing prevalence and the major reason for blindness among working-age population. The possibility of severe vision loss can be extensively reduced by timely diagnosis and treatment. An automated screening for DR has been identified as an effective method for early DR detection, which can decrease the workload associated to manual grading as well as save diagnosis costs and time. Several studies have been carried out to develop automated detection and classification models for DR. This paper presents a new IoT and cloud-based deep learning for healthcare diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). The… More >
