Conventionally, IDC is diagnosed by a pathologist after observing changes in the nuclear morphology of cancer cells. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to diagnose IDC by the analysis and processing of cytology images using MATLAB. The algorithm quantifies nuclear morphological parameters like size, the regularity of the nuclear margin and level of chromatin clumping for nuclei present in each cytology smear by using a sequence of image processing steps. After quantification of these parameters, a comparison is made between normal and IDC images using which a threshold is set for these parameters. These thresholds are then used to make a diagnosis for IDC where the algorithm classifies a cytology image as either normal or cancer. The algorithm therefore finds applications in automated screening programs.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127110737","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}

Vehicle detection is performed by using knowledge based candidate generation followed by appearance based verification. The primary shadow present underneath the vehicle chassis i.e. self shadow is used to generate candidate regions in the image. The use of only self shadow provides improved results and robustness as compared to cast shadows utilized in other approaches. The vehicle class has large intra-class variance due to which a large training dataset with normalized samples is needed for accurate classifier design. It is proposed that the deterministic structure of the contour of vehicles remains same irrespective of its appearance. Hence, structural analysis using the edge based features can be used for classification. It is proposed that a smaller training data-set which is not necessarily normalized is sufficient for good classification results using this analysis. This leads to reduced complexity in system design","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127462820","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}

Effectiveness of information retrieval system hugely depends upon the query formation. Various factors affecting query formation are media expertise, domain expertise and type of search [1,2]. Search engines are necessary tools for information retrieval from World Wide Web. Conventional search engines like Google, Yahoo etc. have huge amount of data. To retrieve the information from these conventional search engines which serve the population on the whole without much concerning about user context require user query expressive enough about user context and need. In our paper we have proposed a model to build a context based search engine on the conventional search engine using genetic algorithm. We have tried to find out good query terms in context of user to find user specific retrieval.

Occlusions are removed by using Left-Right consistency constraint which will be explained further in this paper. After the calculation of disparity, image information is combined with the pixel disparities to obtain a cleaner disparity map.

With a view to recent progress in information processing there has been significant development in data mining technology using wavelet methods. However, available survey tells that there is no such application in the said domain on this topic. The goal of this is paper to fill the void. First, the paper presents a high-level data-mining framework that reduces the overall process into smaller components. Then a brief review of applications of wavelets for each component is presented.

Blood perfusion data are characterized by the regional blood flow in human tissue and therefore do not depend entirely on surrounding temperature. These data bear a great potential for deriving discriminating facial thermogram for better classification and recognition of face images in comparison to optical image data. Blood perfusion data are related to distribution of blood vessels under the face skin. A distribution of blood vessels are unique for each person and as a set of extracted minutiae points from a blood perfusion data of a human face should be unique for that face. There may be several such minutiae point sets for a single face but all of these correspond to that particular face only. Entire face image is partitioned into equal blocks and the total number of minutiae points from each block is computed to construct final vector. Therefore, the size of the feature vectors is found to be same as total number of blocks considered. For classification, a five layer feed-forward backpropagation neural network has been used. A number of experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed face recognition system with varying block sizes. Experiments have been performed on the database created at our own laboratory. The maximum success of 91.47% recognition has been achieved with block size 8×8.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123985597","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}

This paper presents a new approach for recognizing the face of a person considering the expression of the same human face at different instances of time. This methodology is developed by combining principle component analysis (PCA) for feature extraction and minimum distance classifier (MDC) for classification.

Traditional methods of maze solving treat the problem of maze as a directional graph by connecting the key nodes. Because of the directional graph treatment, which is applied on the simplified form of the original maze, the maze solving algorithms at present cannot be directly applied in the critical domains of emergency evacuation etc. The proposed method uses the original complex maze without simplifying and hence can be directly applied in any critical application related to path finding. Proposed approach solves the mazes in a fully automated mode by combining the techniques of image processing, computational geometry and computational fluid dynamics. Moreover the high amount of human intervention needed for generating graphs from mazes in the traditional algorithms is eliminated altogether.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114847569","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}
