Abstract In recent days, Internet of Things (IoT) based image classification technique in the healthcare services is becoming a familiar concept that supports the process of detecting cancers with Computer Tomography (CT) images. Lung cancer is one of the perilous diseases that increases the mortality rate exponentially. IoT based image classifiers have the ability to detect cancer at an early stage and increases the life span of a patient. It supports oncologist to monitor and evaluate the health condition of a patient. Also, it can decipher cancer risk marker and act upon them.

Abstract Regression testing is an essential quality test technique during the maintenance phase of the software. It is executed to ensure the validity of the software after any modification. As software evolves, the test suite expands and may become too large to be executed entirely within a limited testing budget and/or time. So, to reduce the cost of regression testing, it is mandatory to reduce the size of the test suite by discarding the redundant test cases and selecting the most representative ones that do not compromise the effectiveness of the test suite in terms of some predefined criteria such as… More >

Abstract Scale-Invariant Feature Transform is an image matching algorithm used to match objects of two images by extracting the feature points of target objects in each image. Scale-Invariant Feature Transform suffers from long processing time due to embedded calculations which reduces the overall speed of the technique. This research aims to enhance SIFT processing time by imbedding Chamfer Distance Algorithm to find the distance between image descriptors instead of using Euclidian Distance Algorithm used in SIFT. Chamfer Distance Algorithm requires less computational time than Euclidian Distance Algorithm because it selects the shortest path between any two points when the distance is… More >

Abstract The present paper proposes a novel system that automatically classifies the eight different blood groups according to the ABO and Rh blood group systems. The proposed system is developed by applying MATLAB’s image processing techniques on the blood sample images. These images are acquired from the laboratory using the slide test. It utilizes a mean filter for removing noise from blood sample images. In addition, the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) is used for enhancing the image characteristics analysis. The proposed system also utilizes the automated threshold strategy (Otsu’s approach) for obtaining the blood samples binary images. Since, adding… More >

Abstract A new virus called SARS-CoV-2 appeared at the end of space 2019 in Wuhan, China. This virus immediately spread throughout the world due to its highly contagious nature. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 has changed the way of our life and has caused a huge economic and public health disaster. Therefore, it is urgent to identify positive cases as soon as possible and treat them as isolated. Automatic detection of viruses using computer vision and machine learning will be a valuable contribution to detecting and limiting the spread of this epidemic. The delay introduction of X-ray technology as diagnostic tool limited our ability… More >

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) has become popular with the rapid development of sensing devices, and it offers a large number of services. Location data is one of the most important information required for IoT systems. With the widespread of Location Based Services (LBS) applications, the privacy and security threats are also emerging. Recently, a large number of studies focused on localization and positioning functionalities, however, the risk associated with user privacy has not been sufficiently addressed so far. Therefore, privacy and security of device location in IoT systems is an active area of research. Since LBS is often exposed to… More >

Abstract This study builds an automatic monitoring system for the fish pond culture environment. The purpose of this study is to reduce culture costs, including those resulting from labor costs and natural disasters, and make it easier for culturists to manage their fish ponds. With the proposed system, physical indicators of water quality are extracted by temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH sensing modules; the heater, submerged motor pump, air pump, feeding trough, and LED illuminating lamp are controlled to improve the water quality and reduce labor. The wireless sensor network (WSN) is used as the signal transmission architecture between the sensor… More >

Abstract In the present scenario of electronic commerce (E-Commerce), the in-depth knowledge of user interaction with resources has become a significant research concern that impacts more on analytical evaluations of recommender systems. For staying in aggressive E-Commerce, various products and services regarding distinctive requirements must be provided on time. Moreover, because of the large amount of product information available online, Recommender Systems (RS) are required to analyze the availability of consumers, which improves the decision-making of customers with detailed product knowledge and reduces time consumption. With that note, this paper derives a new model called User Interaction based Recommender System (UI-RS)… More >

Abstract Lung cancer is a curable disease if detected early, and its mortality rate decreases with forwarding treatment measures. At first, an easy and accurate way to detect is by using image processing techniques on the cancer-affected images captured from the patients. This paper proposes a novel lung cancer detection method. Firstly, an adaptive median filter algorithm (AMF) is applied to preprocess those images for improving the quality of the affected area. Then, a supervised image edge detection algorithm (SIED) is presented to segment those images. Then, feature extraction is employed to extract the mean, standard deviation, energy, contrast, etc., of… More >

Abstract Nowadays, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the vigorous public health diseases. Hence, early detection of the disease may reduce the severity of its consequences. Besides, medical databases of any disease diagnosis may be collected from the blood test, urine test, and patient history. Nevertheless, medical information retrieved from various sources is diverse. Therefore, it is unadaptable to evaluate numerical and nominal features using the same feature selection algorithm, which may lead to fallacious analysis. Applying machine learning techniques over the medical database is a common way to help feature identification for CKD prediction. In this paper, a novel… More >
