Image stitching is a process of creating a panoramic image by combining multiple images that have overlapping regions of the same scene. It is a challenging topic in image processing, multimedia, and medical applications. The proposed system can be applied in medical applications for scoliosis operations and other long limb operations. The problem of the…

Face sketch recognition aims at matching face sketch images to face photo images. The main challenge lies in modality discrepancy between face photo and sketch images. In this work, we propose a new facial sketch-to-photo recognition approach by adopting VGG-Face deep learning network, with which face images can be represented by compact and highly discriminative…

The basic processes like addition, subtraction can be done using various types of binary adders with dissimilar addition times (delay), area and power consumption in any digital processing applications. To minimize the Power Delay Product (PDP) of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) processors is necessary for high performance in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) applications. In…

Consumers of electrical energy have looked more closely to the energy consumption in last years due to the successive increase of the electricity bill. Nowadays it is possible to notice that many consumers have been looking for ways to reduce their consumption or the value of their electricity bill. Such a cost reduction is obtained…

In advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) of smart grid, WiFi is an appropriate choice for its bidirectional communication requirement to transmit data to the billing center. But, WiFi functions in the free spectrum bands and LTE also requires to use the same free bands for its network expansion being licensed spectrum is limited and expansive. LTE…

Relation Extraction is an important subtask of Information Extraction that involves extracting significant facts from natural language text. Extracting structured information from the plaintext is the ultimate goal of IE systems. The Indian language content on the internet is increasing day to day.
