Exudate is one of the early sign of diabetic retinopathy. Hence, proper method for exudates detection is very useful step in the screening of computer-aided diabetic retinopathy systems. This paper proposes an automatic algorithm to localize the optic disc and detect exudates from fundus retinal images. The algorithm uses histogram information. Optic disc occurs as the bright yellowish region in the retina image, which resembles exudates. It must be eliminated before exudates detection. Therefore, it is necessary to localize the center of the optic disc before it can be eliminated. Without the presence of the optic disc, exudates can be detected easily by using the histogram based thresholding technique. The DRIVE, DIARECTDB1, STARE, and 325 retinal fundus images from local dataset are examined for evaluating the proposed algorithm. The proposed method achieved the accuracy of 100%, 96%, 93%, and 97% respectively for optic disc detection. For exudates detection, the accurate rate is 99%, 90%, and 89% for DRIVE, DIARECTDB1 and local dataset respectively.","PeriodicalId":131543,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ISPACS)","volume":"277 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120854432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the results, we can achieve time synchronization with less than 1ns (average offset error of 0.05ns) accuracy and cm-level (position error of 1.23cm) positioning accuracy through our simulation. Furthermore, increasing the number or measuring device in positioning system will increase the accuracy of positioning a target. High accuracy time synchronization is achievable by deploying proposed PTP with high number of iteration in synchronization period.

The contrast of an image is increased by HE. But HE fails to produce satisfactory results for wide range of low contrast images, because HE does not use a spatial feature that is included in an original image. In order to overcome this disorder the differential gray-levels histogram equalization (DHE) has been proposed. In this paper, we extend the DHE to color image processing. Then, hue and intensity information are taken into account for color image enhancement. Hue component is used for intensity processing. Even by keeping the intensity constant we can capture the edge by changing the hue. First the processing is done with intensity component and then with hue component. Finally intensity and hue component results are combined to produce better results. The proposed method has one parameter which controls the enhancement property of the color image. The guideline for the decision of the parameter which is agreed by the human sense is also described.","PeriodicalId":131543,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ISPACS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122437152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the recognition task can become complicated due to the existence of covariate factors (e.g. clothing, camera viewpoint, carrying condition, elapsed time, walking surface, etc). Amongst all the covariate factors, clothing is the most challenging one. This is because it may obscure a significant amount of discriminative human gait features and makes it much more challenging for human recognition task. In recent, there has been significant research on this problem. However, conventional state-of-the-art methods have mostly use hand-crafted features for representing the human gait. In this work, we explore and study the use of convolutional neural networks (CNN) to automatically learn gait features or representations directly from low-level input raw data (i.e. Gait Energy Image (GEI)). Evaluations on the challenging clothing-invariant gait recognition of OU-ISIR Treadmill dataset B, the experiment results shows that our method can achieve far better performance as compared to hand-crafted feature in conventional state-of-the-art methods with minimal preprocessing knowledge of the problem are required.","PeriodicalId":131543,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ISPACS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131438754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many scheduling algorithms have been proposed to map and order clients requests running on a suitable processor at the minimum makespan and maximum resource utilization. However, they do not take into account the task scheduling under bounded number of I/O port constraint which is a realistic communications model between client and server. Based on the I/O port constraint, this paper proposes a one I/O port task scheduling using a hybrid heuristicgenetic algorithm to achieve minimum completion time. For practical scenario, web service workflow represented by the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of tasks is implemented as an input task set. The proposed algorithm focuses on sending the clients request of web services and receiving results having minimum makespan and delay. Unlike Genetic Algorithm (GA) providing near optimal results but high time complexity, the proposed approach named Critical Path with Genetic Algorithm (CPGA) incorporates GA to produce the good quality schedule with lower processing time. Preliminary result of fair comparisons with existing scheduling methods shows that the proposed approach outperforms them in terms of minimum makespan and delay.","PeriodicalId":131543,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Intelligent Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ISPACS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115320293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, a dynamic offloading model is proposed for mobile energy minimization by allocating the partitions to be processed dynamically between the cloud and the mobile. The complexity of depth estimation, the processing capability of the cloud, and the power consumption of the mobile are considered jointly into the model to provide an optimized solution.
