All trucks heading into the paper mill MONDI, Slovakia, have to pass an automatic security check. It controls if storage of its wood load meets all standards of safety. Each truck is scanned by a group of 2D scanners. After that the inspection of timber load is done by a software with use of the…

This paper studies and compares the effectiveness of four different features and their combinations on the recognition accuracy of handwritten Bangla characters. The longest run, chain code histogram, shadow, and Gabor filter-based features and their eleven (11) combinations were tested on a standard Bangla database of 15; 000 basic handwritten characters to compare their recognition…

Breast cancer has an important incidence in women mortality worldwide. Currently, mam- mography is considered the gold standard for breast abnormalities screening examinations, since it aids in the early detection and diagnosis of the illness. However, both identification of mass lesions and its malignancy classification is a challenging problem for artificial intelligence. In this work,…

Noninvasive measurement of skin tissue oxygen saturation, StO2, is of interest especially in the studies of wound healing and detection of vascular diseases. This work aims to compare Partial Least Square (PLS) regression, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique in the prediction of StO2 using spectral data obtained from Monte Carlo simulations.…

The greenhouse climate system is very hard to manipulate because the variables involved are closely correlated. This study aims to enhance the regulation performance of greenhouse climate system based on adaptive neural-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The ANFIS is a hybrid technique that incorporates the fuzzy logic theory and artificial neural network algorithms. The employed control…

Person recognition using thermal imaging, multi-biometric traits, with groups of feature filters and classifiers, is the subject of this paper. These were used to tackle the problems of biometric systems, such as a change in illumination and spoof attacks. Using a combination of, hard and soft-biometric, attributes in thermal facial images. The hard-biometric trait, of…

With the progress of IoT, everything is going to be connected to the network. It will bring us a lot of benefits however some security risks will be occurred by connecting network. To avoid such problems, it is indispensable to strengthen security more than now. We focus on personal authentication as one of the security.…

Short-term load forecasting (STLF) plays an important role in building business strategies, ensuring reliability and safe operation for any electrical system. There are many different methods, including: regression models, time series, neural networks, expert systems, fuzzy logic, machine learning and statistical algorithms used for short-term forecasts. However, the practical requirement is how to minimize the…

The problem of recognizing traffic sign boards in a correct fashion is one of the major challenges since there is an alarming rate of increase in the number of road accidents happening because of incorrect interpretation of traffic sign boards in bad weather conditions. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various noise removal techniques…

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. Extracting relevant information from this huge unstructured data is a challenging task…

Climatic changes have a significant impact on many real life processes. Climacteric position of Albania makes precipitations and water inflows in HPP the main variables influencing the amount of electric energy produced in the country. Taking into account their volatility it has considerably increased the need of using hybrid models to improve the quality of…

The presence of atmospheric hazards in confined space can contribute towards atmospheric hazards accidents that threaten the worker safety and industry progress. To avoid this, the environment needs to be observed. The air sample can be monitored using the integration of electronic nose (e-nose) and mobile robot. Current technology to monitor the atmospheric hazards is…

As all other laws of the growth in computing, the growth of computing performance also shows a ”logistic curve”-like behavior, rather than an unlimited exponential growth. The stalling of the single-processor performance experienced nearly two decades ago forced computer experts to look for alternative methods, mainly for some kind of parallelization. Solving the task needs…

The application of protective coatings is the primary method of protecting marine and offshore structures from corrosion. Coating breakdown and corrosion (CBC) assessment is a major aspect of coating failure management. Evaluation methods can result in unnecessary maintenance costs and a higher risk of failure. To achieve a comprehensive collection of data for CBC assessment,…
