    Seema Sabharwal1,2,*, Priti Singla1

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 2567-2582, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.035497

    Abstract Sign language is used as a communication medium in the field of trade, defence, and in deaf-mute communities worldwide. Over the last few decades, research in the domain of translation of sign language has grown and become more challenging. This necessitates the development of a Sign Language Translation System (SLTS) to provide effective communication in different research domains. In this paper, novel Hybrid Adaptive Gaussian Thresholding with Otsu Algorithm (Hybrid-AO) for image segmentation is proposed for the translation of alphabet-level Indian Sign Language (ISLTS) with a 5-layer Convolution Neural Network (CNN). The focus of this paper is to analyze various… More >

    Iris Recognition Based on Multilevel Thresholding Technique and Modified Fuzzy c-Means Algorithm

    Slim Ben Chaabane1,2,*, Rafika Harrabi1,2, Anas Bushnag1, Hassene Seddik2

    Journal on Artificial Intelligence, Vol.4, No.4, pp. 201-214, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jai.2022.032850

    Abstract Biometrics represents the technology for measuring the characteristics of the human body. Biometric authentication currently allows for secure, easy, and fast access by recognizing a person based on facial, voice, and fingerprint traits. Iris authentication is one of the essential biometric methods for identifying a person. This authentication type has become popular in research and practical applications. Unlike the face and hands, the iris is an internal organ, protected and therefore less likely to be damaged. However, the number of helpful information collected from the iris is much greater than the other biometric human organs. This work proposes a new… More >

    Efficient Crack Severity Level Classification Using Bilayer Detection for Building Structures

    M. J. Anitha1,*, R. Hemalatha2

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.46, No.1, pp. 1183-1200, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.031888

    Abstract Detection of cracks at the early stage is considered as very constructive since precautionary steps need to be taken to avoid the damage to the civil structures. Moreover, identifying and classifying the severity level of cracks is inevitable in order to find the stability of buildings. Hence, this paper proposes an efficient strategy to classify the cracks into fine, medium, and thick using a novel bilayer crack detection algorithm. The bilayer crack detection algorithm helps in extracting the requisite features from the crack for efficient classification. The proposed algorithm works well in the dark background and connects the discontinued cracks… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.3, pp. 6775-6788, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.030814

    Abstract Biomedical image processing acts as an essential part of several medical applications in supporting computer aided disease diagnosis. Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is a commonly utilized imaging tool used to save glioma for clinical examination. Biomedical image segmentation plays a vital role in healthcare decision making process which also helps to identify the affected regions in the MRI. Though numerous segmentation models are available in the literature, it is still needed to develop effective segmentation models for BT. This study develops a salp swarm algorithm with multi-level thresholding based brain tumor segmentation (SSAMLT-BTS) model. The presented SSAMLT-BTS model initially employs… More >

    Ghassan Ahmed Ali1, Thamer Mitib Ahmad Al Sariera2,*, Muhammad Akram1, Adel Sulaiman1, Fekry Olayah1

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.44, No.2, pp. 1601-1616, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.026119

    Abstract Damage of the blood vessels in retina due to diabetes is called diabetic retinopathy (DR). Hemorrhages is the first clinically visible symptoms of DR. This paper presents a new technique to extract and classify the hemorrhages in fundus images. The normal objects such as blood vessels, fovea and optic disc inside retinal images are masked to distinguish them from hemorrhages. For masking blood vessels, thresholding that separates blood vessels and background intensity followed by a new filter to extract the border of vessels based on orientations of vessels are used. For masking optic disc, the image is divided into sub-images… More >

    Fuzzy Hybrid Coyote Optimization Algorithm for Image Thresholding

    Linguo Li1,2, Xuwen Huang2, Shunqiang Qian2, Zhangfei Li2, Shujing Li2,*, Romany F. Mansour3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.72, No.2, pp. 3073-3090, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.026625

    Abstract In order to address the problems of Coyote Optimization Algorithm in image thresholding, such as easily falling into local optimum, and slow convergence speed, a Fuzzy Hybrid Coyote Optimization Algorithm (hereinafter referred to as FHCOA) based on chaotic initialization and reverse learning strategy is proposed, and its effect on image thresholding is verified. Through chaotic initialization, the random number initialization mode in the standard coyote optimization algorithm (COA) is replaced by chaotic sequence. Such sequence is nonlinear and long-term unpredictable, these characteristics can effectively improve the diversity of the population in the optimization algorithm. Therefore, in this paper we first… More >

    Abstract Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that is commonly observed in people around the world. Osteoarthritis commonly affects patients who are obese and those above the age of 60. A valid knee image was generated by Computed Tomography (CT). In this work, efficient segmentation of CT images using Elephant Herding Optimization (EHO) optimization is implemented. The initial stage employs, the CT image normalization and the normalized image is incited to image enhancement through histogram correlation. Consequently, the enhanced image is segmented by utilizing Niblack and Bernsen algorithm. The (EHO) optimized outcome is evaluated in two steps. The initial step… More >

    Curvelet Transform Based on Edge Preserving Filter for Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation

    Sonali Dash1, Sahil Verma2,*, Kavita2, N. Z. Jhanjhi3, Mehedi Masud4, Mohammed Baz5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.71, No.2, pp. 2459-2476, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.020904

    Abstract Segmentation of vessel in retinal fundus images is a primary step for the clinical identification for specific eye diseases. Effective diagnosis of vascular pathologies from angiographic images is thus a vital aspect and generally depends on segmentation of vascular structure. Although various approaches for retinal vessel segmentation are extensively utilized, however, the responses are lower at vessel's edges. The curvelet transform signifies edges better than wavelets, and hence convenient for multiscale edge enhancement. The bilateral filter is a nonlinear filter that is capable of providing effective smoothing while preserving strong edges. Fast bilateral filter is an advanced version of bilateral… More >

    Abstract With the rise of internet facilities, a greater number of people have started doing online transactions at an exponential rate in recent years as the online transaction system has eliminated the need of going to the bank physically for every transaction. However, the fraud cases have also increased causing the loss of money to the consumers. Hence, an effective fraud detection system is the need of the hour which can detect fraudulent transactions automatically in real-time. Generally, the genuine transactions are large in number than the fraudulent transactions which leads to the class imbalance problem. In this research work, an… More >
