They move around the Network. Due to this network topology and number of neighboring nodes in each node frequently change. Movement of nodes from one to another network also affect to the communication between them. As we know if nodes are within the range of each other they will work properly. But any of one node is not in the range of other node communication will Break. As the number of nodes increases interference and complexity of MANET increases in various issues. For this reason various approaches has been produced to reduce the interference such as cluster head technique with Directional Antenna introduced. In this paper we proposed a comparative study of Directional antenna gain in order to improve interference and overhead [2] and enhance QoS. Here we have analyzed the performance of directional antenna with changing the gain. The simulation results show that directional antenna with increasing gain has improved QoS, bit error rate, throughput, SNR Ratio and received packets.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"68 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":"131017498","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}

It works in a multi-scale framework with an adaptive-cum-interpolative thresholding as a modification of Otsu's method. Instead of computing a global threshold value for an input document image, it computes the local threshold values for a small set of grid points by observing the intensity pattern of the pixels lying in the concerned grid cells. Thresholds estimated for these grid points are used, in turn, to compute the threshold values of all the remaining pixels using a fast-yet-efficient interpolation procedure. To handle noises in degraded images, this grid-based adaptive thresholding is applied in successively reducing scales to obtain the nearoptimal binarization as a set of connected components. After a post-processing with these connected components, we get the final output. Exhaustive experimentation has been carried out with benchmark datasets including George Washington corpus of handwritten documents, and also with our own datasets. When compared to other methods, the proposed method is found to be robust and appreciably better, as tested by conventional evaluation schemes.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"31 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":"126994887","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 computational complexity is very high for classification of hyperspectral images due to the presence of large number of bands. In such a scenario, feature selection is very essential technique for reducing the dimensionality. In the proposed work, an attempt has been made to develop a feature selection technique based on evolutionary approach. Self-adaptive differential evolution (SADE) is used for searching feature subset. In SADE, the parameter values adapt themselves with generation to generation. Proposed method follows wrapper model for subset evaluation. Fuzzy kNN classifier is incorporated to calculate the classification accuracy which is used as evaluation criterion. The proposed methodology also includes a feature estimating technique, called ReliefF method, for removing the redundant feature. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, results are compared with differential evolution based, genetic algorithm based and ant colony optimization based feature selection techniques. This method achieves very promising results compared to others in terms of overall classification accuracy and Kappa coefficient.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"20 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":"116960579","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 available face recognition algorithm performance in presence of multiple variations such as illumination, pose, expression, occlusion and plastic surgery is not satisfactory. Also, periocular biometrics face problems in presence of spectacles, head angle, hair and expression. A method which can extract multiple feature information from a single source and can give a satisfactory performance even with less number of training images is desirable. Thus combining face and periocular data obtained from the same image may increase the performance of the recognition system. A detailed performance analysis of face recognition and periocular biometric using Gabor and LBP features is carried out. This is then compared with the proposed multimodal biometric feature extraction technique. The experimental results obtained using Muct and plastic surgery face database shows that the proposed multimodal biometric performs better than other face recognition and individual biometric methods.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"20 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":"114668665","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 algorithm first classifies all the pixels as noise and noise free based on its N8(p) neighbours using averaging parameters introduced here and then replaces the noise pixels by the adaptive median of the pixel. The algorithm uses adaptive median as it provides better denoising and since the proposed algorithm performs prior classification of pixels as noise and noise free this preserves image details.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"1 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":"129051794","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}

Diagnosis of the condition is by clinical, biochemical and imaging parameters. The principle feature on ultrasound is the presence of polycystic ovaries with peripheral arranged cysts and dense stroma. During ultrasound evaluation due to overlapping of the follicles as well as inherent noise of the equipment delineating, making this characteristic appearance may sometimes become challenging, making diagnosis time consuming. Moreover the interpretation would vary considerably from one operator to another as it is largely an experience dependent procedure. In this paper an automated scheme for the detection of this pathognomonic pattern and arrangement of follicles is proposed to overcome this problem. Firstly the input ultrasound image was preprocessed by multiscale morphological approach for contrast enhancement. Then a scanline thresholding is used to extract the contours of the follicles. The results are compared with the results obtained by manual selection to verify the effectivity of scheme.","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":"128277712","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 fundamental issue with these approaches lies in the fact that a conventional image maps 3D real world objects into a 2D plane. This causes loss of 3D information - which means loss of 3D features as well for further analysis. There have been attempts using 3D and 2.5D scanners in order to access range data from objects for further analysis. However, these systems require special scanners and associated hardware, and many a times the complete information that is obtained from such systems is not required for further analysis. In this paper, we propose a simple system that projects a light beam over an object of interest and using a simple optical camera a video is recorded. This enables us to have 2D data as acquired from the camera along with the 3D data that is derived out of the deviations in the scan pattern because of the non-planarity of the object of interest. We have limited our research to using 3D features only for object representation and extended the same logic for face verification. The results that we have obtained show that in spite of using only 3D features, the system is able to verify faces with varied expressions correctly on 75% of the test data. The system is robust to slight tilt in head angle and normal human expressions like smile, frown, grin etc.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"50 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":"127442630","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}
