Efficient Standard Deviation Based Algorithm Based Image Pre-Processing and Edge Detection

Mirabelle E Greshamon and Rachel K Bernard

School of Information Science, University of Houston, Houston, USA

Abstract: In this paper an efficient standard deviation based algorithm which can automatically detect, localize and extract tampered area from tampered images is presented. The proposed approach is based on the application of a color reduction technique; Intensity based method for edge detection, and the localization of tampered regions using horizontal and vertical edges. This paper is based on the fact that normally tampered regions process high standard deviation compared to non-tampered regions. The outputs of the algorithm are tampered regions. The performance of the approach is demonstrated by presenting promising experimental results for a set of images taken from different types of video sequences.

Abstract: In order to investigate the simplified design method for damper installed on cable-stayed bridge in near-fault zones, this paper proposed two-particle model for cable-stayed bridge and established the differential equations of motion. Parameter design formula for linear viscous damper is derived based on the concept of equivalent damping ratio; parameter design formula for nonlinear viscous damper is also deducted by equivalent linearization method. In the end, a single tower cable-stayed bridge is cited to verify accuracy of the formulations.

Xing Mao and Kaishun Chen

School of Automobile, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China

Abstract: A driving simulator was set up for analyzing driver’s reaction time when driving on urban road environment. 28 participate drivers were recruited for the simulated driving test, each driver’s reaction perception time, decision-making time and operation time were measured and analyzed. Results show that the average perception time of experienced drivers(181.37 ms) is shorter than that of inexperienced drivers (195.62 ms). While experienced driver’s decision-making time is longer than that of inexperienced drivers, but more stable. The average operation time of experienced drivers (281.85 ms) are longer than inexperienced drivers(234.3 ms).

Abstract: In the design of scroll compressor, in order to improve the performance of the combined profile by involute of circle and high order curve, the mathematical model was established which takes the stroke volume and area utilization coefficient as the objective function. Then optimize it by the MATLAB genetic algorithm toolbox and have a contrast of the original parameters with the optimized parameters. The optimal result shows that the result after optimization has higher stroke volume and area utilization coefficient.

Combination of Feature Extraction Method and Conflict Resolution Methods Applied for Optical Character Recognition

Winston Q Raymond and Leo A Marion

School of Artificial Intelligence, South Dakota State University, Vermillion, USA

Abstract: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is one of the important fields in image processing. Kannada is one such south Indian language which is also the official language of Karnataka state. In this paper two level decision regions are used to recognize Kannada numerals. The algorithm proposes conflict resolution technique to resolve conflicts while conflicting features are encountered. The combination of feature extraction method and conflict resolution method is applied to recognize Kannada numerals. Numerals are collected from the standard Nudi 4.0 and Baraha 7.0 word processor software. Some scanned images also taken for testing. Proposed algorithm efficiency and the overall the classification accuracy is found to be 96.95%.
