Silkworm Cocoon

Sericulture is traditionally a labor-intensive rural-based industry. In modern contexts, the development of process automation faces new challenges related to quality and efficiency. During the silkworm farming life cycle, a common issue is represented by the gender classification of the cocoons. Improper cocoon separation negatively affects quantity and quality of the yield resulting in disruptive bottlenecks for the productivity. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes a multi sensor system for silkworm cocoons gender classification and separation. Utilizing a load sensor and a digital camera, the system acquires weight and digital images from individual silkworm cocoons. An image processing procedure is then applied to extract significant shape-related features from each image instance, which, combined with the weight data, are provided as inputs to train a Support Vector Machine-based pattern classifier for gender classification. Subsequently, an air blower mechanism and a conveyor system sort the cocoons into their respective bins. The developed system was trained and tested on two different types of silkworm cocoons breeds, respectively CSR2 and Pure Mysore. The system performances are finally discussed in terms of accuracy, robustness and computation time.

This paper presents a novel gender classification method based on geometry features of palm image which is simple, fast, and easy to handle. This gender classification method based on geometry features comprises two main attributes. The first one is feature extraction by image processing. The other one is classification system with polynomial smooth support vector machine (PSSVM). A total of 180 palm images were collected from 30 persons to verify the validity of the proposed gender classification approach and the results are satisfactory with classification rate over 85%. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach is feasible and effective in gender recognition.

Abstract A numerical experiment of intentionally reduced complexity is used to demonstrate a method to classify flight missions in terms of the operational severity experienced by the engines. In this proof of concept, the general term of severity is limited to the erosion of the core flow compressor blade and vane leading edges. A Monte Carlo simulation of varying operational conditions generates a required database of 10000 flight missions. Each flight is sampled at a rate of 1 Hz. Eleven measurable or synthesizable physical parameters are deemed to be relevant for the problem. They are reduced to seven universal non-dimensional groups which are averaged for each flight. The application of principal component analysis allows a further reduction to three principal components. They are used to run a support-vector machine model in order to classify the flights. A linear kernel function is chosen for the support-vector machine due to its low computation time compared to other functions. The robustness of the classification approach against measurement precision error is evaluated. In addition, a minimum number of flights required for training and a sensible number of severity classes are documented. Furthermore, the importance to train the algorithms on a sufficiently wide range of operations is presented.

Abstract: Lung cancer has been a major contribution to mortality rates world-wide for many years now. There is a need for early diagnosis of lung cancer which if implemented, will help in reducing mortality rates. Recently, image processing techniques have been widely applied in various medical facilities for accurate detection and diagnosis of abnormality in the body images like in various cancers such as brain tumour, breast tumour and lung tumour. This paper is a development of an algorithm based on medical image processing to segment the lung tumour in CT images due to the lack of such algorithms and approaches used to detect tumours. The work involves the application of different image processing tools in order to arrive at the desired result when combined and successively applied. The segmentation system comprises different steps along the process. First, Image preprocessing is done where some enhancement is done to enhance and reduce noise in images. In the next step, the different parts in the images are separated to be able to segment the tumour. In this phase threshold value was selected automatically. Then morphological operation (Area opening) is implemented on the thresholded image. Finally, the lung tumour is accurately segmented by subtracting the opened image from the thresholded image. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify the lung tumour into 4 different types: Adenocarcinoma(AC), Large Cell Carcinoma(LCC) Squamous Cell Carcinoma(SCC), and No tumour (NT).

Nonlinear Autoregressive

Clean-in-place (CIP) processes are extensively used to clean industrial equipment without the need for disassembly. In food manufacturing, cleaning can account for up to 70% of water use and is also a heavy user of energy and chemicals. Due to a current lack of real-time in-process monitoring, the non-optimal control of the cleaning process parameters and durations result in excessive resource consumption and periods of non-productivity. In this paper, an optical monitoring system is designed and realized to assess the amount of fouling material remaining in process tanks, and to predict the required cleaning time. An experimental campaign of CIP tests was carried out utilizing white chocolate as fouling medium. During the experiments, an image acquisition system endowed with a digital camera and ultraviolet light source was employed to collect digital images from the process tank. Diverse image segmentation techniques were considered to develop an image processing procedure with the aim of assessing the area of surface fouling and the fouling volume throughout the cleaning process. An intelligent decision-making support system utilizing nonlinear autoregressive models with exogenous inputs (NARX) Neural Network was configured, trained and tested to predict the cleaning time based on the image processing results. Results are discussed in terms of prediction accuracy and a comparative study on computation time against different image resolutions is reported. The potential benefits of the system for resource and time efficiency in food manufacturing are highlighted.

Primary Concern

With the development of society along with an escalating population, the concerns regarding public health have cropped up. The quality of air becomes primary concern regarding constant increase in the number of vehicles and industrial development. With this concern, several indices have been proposed to indicate the pollutant concentrations. In this paper, we present a mathematical framework to formulate a Cumulative Index (CI) on the basis of an individual concentration of four major pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM2.5, and PM10). Further, a supervised learning algorithm based classifier is proposed. This classifier employs support vector machine (SVM) to classify air quality into two types, that is, good or harmful. The potential inputs for this classifier are the calculated values of CIs. The efficacy of the classifier is tested on the real data of three locations: Kolkata, Delhi, and Bhopal. It is observed that the classifier performs well to classify the quality of air.

Scale Invariant Feature

Today, digital image processing is used in diverse fields; this paper attempts to compare the outcome of two commonly used techniques namely Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) points and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) points in image processing operations. This study focuses on leaf veins for identification of plants. An algorithm sequence has been utilized for the purpose of recognition of leaves. SURF and SIFT extractions are applied to define and distinguish the limited structures of the documented vein image of the leaf separately and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is integrated to classify and identify the correct plant. The results prove that the SURF algorithm is the fastest and an efficient one. The results of the study can be extrapolated to authenticate medicinal plants which is the starting step to standardize herbs and carryout research.
