This paper will propose a new image recognition technique for inspecting the validity of car Road Tax information in Malaysia based on Neural Network. The development of vehicle Road Tax Recognition (RTR) System will result in greater efficiency for vehicle monitoring system at Toll Gates in Malaysia. In Malaysia, the usage of recognition system is limited to the vehicle plates. It means that the system is unable to detect Road Tax stickers. Therefore, The Implementing of the Image Recognition of The Road Tax and Monitoring the License Plate Number Identification system helps to automatically detect the Road Tax sticker information and plate number. Previously, the police used to observe the expiry date of the Road Tax sticker and matched it with the car plate number manually. So this paper aimed to propose a technique to monitor the vehicle by automatically capturing and extracting the Road Tax sticker image.","PeriodicalId":224257,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Advanced Computer Science Applications and Technologies (ACSAT)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121682089","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 emergence of 4G wireless network technologies is intended to complement and replace the current generations. The keys features of 4G technologies include accessing information anywhere, anytime, with a seamless connection to a wide range of information and services, and receiving a large volume of information, data, pictures, video, and so on. Based on the developing trends of mobile communication, 4G will have broader bandwidth, higher data rate, and smoother and quicker handoff to provide seamless service across a multitude of wireless systems and networks. One of the major issues of seamless mobility is handoff management. To achieve seamless handoff between different wireless technologies, known as vertical handoff (VHO), it is a major challenge to design intelligent handoff management schemes for 4G-systems. In this paper we have presented the design of an adaptive multi-attribute vertical handoff decision algorithm based on genetic algorithm which is both cost effective and useful.","PeriodicalId":224257,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Advanced Computer Science Applications and Technologies (ACSAT)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122247713","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 recent years, many solutions have been proposed on adopting computer assisted stent positioning systems for proper placement of the stent and apposition on the vessel wall. However, fast and accurate localization and tracking of the stents in conventional X-ray images is not sufficiently investigated in the literature. In this paper, a new method is proposed which is based on automatic detection of two radio-opaque landmarks of the stent. It improves the stent localization and tracking by filtering spurious markers and artifacts, causing a significant reduction in the number of outliers and misdetections. The validation results show that the proposed algorithm is suitable to be applied in routine clinical procedures.","PeriodicalId":224257,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Advanced Computer Science Applications and Technologies (ACSAT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130801603","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}

Current research shows that change detection methods can be used for a wide range of real time applications. Detecting the changes by observing data collected at different times is one of the most important applications of network security because they can provide analysis of short interval on global scale. Research in exploring change detection techniques for medium/high network data can be found for the new generation of very high resolution data. The advent of new technologies has greatly increased the ability to monitor and resolve the details of changes in order to analyze better. Analyzing large amount of data is still a new challenge. The data need to be analyzed and corrected for registration and classification errors for identifying frequently changing trend. In this research paper we have proposed a unified and novel approach for Intrusion Detection System (IDS) which embeds a Change Detection Algorithm with Data Mining (DM) technique. IDS are considered as a system integrated with intelligent subsystems, which completes the distributed solution procedure on the basis of exchanging large data and information. The goal is to learn more effectively from the model. The knowledge developed automatically adjusts to the changes as well as threshold while minimizing the false alarm rate and timely detection. A hybrid approach for improving the performance of detection algorithm by building more intelligence to the system is proposed using Support Vector Machine (SVM). The results are properly substantiated for better effectiveness, system security and flexibility.","PeriodicalId":224257,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Advanced Computer Science Applications and Technologies (ACSAT)","volume":"339 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115160464","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}

Penn Tree Bank is the collection of English corpus, so Bangle linguistic processing is not observed there. Bangla is an Irregular Language. In our previous research, we proposed a case structure analysis for verb. There are a lot of influences of case in Bangla language. The relationship between verb and case elements is an important issue for Bangla language. But in our current implementation we used rule based approach. For Bangla-English translation first we performed morphological analysis for Bangla then we used rule based analysis where we considered a limited feature of case analysis. After that, using a dictionary we translate bangle words into English. To make an English sentence, we considered English SVO grammatical rules.

It was found that, the Safeer portal quality is fairly good by 75% and it needs further improvement and development by 25%. The researchers recommend further investigation on empirical surveys, in order to develop more acceptable and authentic instrument. Also, it needs further understanding of evaluators.
