Unlike the existing frameworks, the proposed method is not hindered by rigorous computation for feature extraction and learning spaces. The proposed method uses information-theoretic framework for face recognition. The training set is used to estimate the underlying joint and marginal densities, which are utilized to calculate the mutual information. The mutual information for each pixel value is used to highlight the regions, that correspond to maximum information that are used for face recognition process. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on two image datasets. The recognition performance of the proposed method is also compared with existing principal component analysis (PCA) based face recognition algorithms.","PeriodicalId":177233,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125048071","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}

In addition to these symptoms, half of all patients diagnosed with heart failure die within four years. The prevalence of heart failure is currently about 2%-3% of the adult population and it is expected to grow. It is interesting to predict if a patient with heart failure dies soon so that life-threatening situations and costs are minimized. In this paper, a data mining method for discovering fuzzy rules with different truth level thresholds in linguistic variable elimination for prediction of death on the basis of data available in hospitals is presented. Cognitive uncertainties are taken into consideration through the use of fuzzy sets, membership functions and membership degrees. The accuracy of the prediction of the death for a patient with heart failure and the interpretability of fuzzy rules are discussed. Our study shows, in comparison to other data mining methods, that it is useful for this type of prediction.","PeriodicalId":177233,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123837106","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}

In the modern semantic online environments users cannot assume that initially created ontologies will remain static throughout the whole lifespan of particular application. Moreover, alignments originally established between such ontologies can become stale and invalid when certain changes have been applied to maintained ontologies. Therefore, such mappings should evolve in parallel. These issues raise some important questions: How to express changes introduced to ontologies? When the revalidation of alignments should occur? Is it necessary to relaunch an alignment procedure for the whole ontologies or is it possible to check and adjust only small fragments of mappings affected by applied modifications?","PeriodicalId":177233,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122530554","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}

Depth sensors, often called RGBD cameras, are able to deliver 3D images with a frame rate 30-60 frames per second, however they have relatively low resolution and a high level of noise. This kind of data is compared here with a high quality scans enrolled by the structural light scanner, for which the acquisition time is approximately 1.5 s for a single image, and which - because of its size - cannot be classified as a portable device. The purpose of this work was to find the method that will allow us to extract spatial features from mobile data sources analyzed here only in a static context. We transform the 3D data into local surface features and then into vectors of unified length by use of the Moving Least Squares method applied to a predefined grid of points on a reference cylinder. The feature matrices were calculated for various image features, and used in PCA analysis. Finally, the verification errors were calculated and compared to those obtained for stationary devices. The results show that single-image mobile sensor images lead to the results inferior to those of stationary sensors. However, we suggest a dynamic depth stream processing as the next step in the evolution of the described method. The presented results show that by including multi-frame processing into our method, it is likely to gain the accuracy similar to those obtained for a stationary device under controlled laboratory conditions.","PeriodicalId":177233,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127574587","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}

The analysis of the eye plays an important role in order to detect specific diseases. Eye background analysis is used in order to detect certain forms of diabetes and others diseases. In the alternative medicine plays the diagnosis of the iris an important role. One understands by iris diagnosis (Iridology) the investigation and analysis of the colored part of the eye, the iris, to discover factors which play an important role for the prevention and treatment of illnesses, but al-so for the preservation of an optimum health. Although alternative practitioner describe substantial success with the iris diagnosis. The conventional medicine is not convinced of the diagnosis method. A big drawback of the method is the subjective interpretation of what is seen in the iris image. An automatic system would pave the way for much wider use of the iris diagnosis for the diagnosis of illnesses and for the purpose of individual health protection. With this paper we de-scribe our work towards an automatic iris diagnosis system. We describe the image acquisition and the problems with it. Different ways of image acquisition and image preprocessing are explained. We describe the image analysis method for the detection of the iris. This method is based on our novel case-based object recognition and case mining method. Results for the recognition of the iris are given. We describe how to detect the pupil and not wanted lamp spots. We explain how to recognize orange blue spots in the iris and match them against the topological map of the iris. Finally, we give an outlook for further work.","PeriodicalId":177233,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics (CYBCONF)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128062170","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}
