Biotic Stress causes damage to plants with the help of living organisms, pests, and pathogens. This leads to a huge loss of agricultural productivity and sustainability that has a serious impact on the world economy. Thus, at the outset of growth, it is highly desirable to automate the process of disease identification and diagnosis. At present, computer vision using deep learning methods have achieved considerable success with object detection tasks. The goal of this work is to develop an innovative, ground-breaking framework for the detection of diseases based on a deep convolution neural network through the transfer learning technique. For this work, initially, we collected a dataset that contains images of 1,014 Betelvine leaves with healthy and diseased categories in the cultivated betel vine crops and annotated manually for training. Mask-RCNN instance segmentation model is adopted for detecting Betelvine diseased leaves effectively. Eventually, the trained model achieved mean Average Precision (mAP) of 84%, using an updated Mask-RCNN model by fine-tuning the parameters with a swish as activation function and RAdam as the optimizer.","PeriodicalId":260353,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 5th International Conference on Computing Communication and Automation (ICCCA)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116782519","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}

Manually defined predicates for feature extraction will not suffice, where deep learning can play a pivotal role. In this work, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been used for US breast tumor feature extraction and classification as benign/ malignant. To make the network robust to noise variations in the image and as an improvement over existing methodologies, neutrosophic preprocessing and enhancement were performed and the enhanced images were appended to the dataset and the original image during training. Using neutrosophic preprocessing alone had increased the validation accuracy of the CNN from 0.84 to 0.92, while using neutrosophic preprocessing and augmentation had increased the accuracy to 0.99. GoogLeNet with pretrained parameters were chosen as the preferred architecture for the work, with the predictions being validated using class activation maps that showed that the CNN was able to learn the features related to the tumor accurately. The final layers’ activation maps are clustered using fuzzy c-means clustering, which act as an initial contour for active contour segmentation using localized energies. The clustered outputs also qualify as a validation method for the prediction accuracy of the CNN. Using the proposed segmentation, time and computational complexity can be reduced which otherwise is high for traditional encoding cum decoding based CNN segmentation architectures.","PeriodicalId":260353,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 5th International Conference on Computing Communication and Automation (ICCCA)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127291935","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 focusses on the use of Battery ESS (BESS) installed in a single distribution feeder as a compensator when Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) occurs in the main power network. The paper has identified the importance of such system to a low inertia power system containing micro grids. The results of simulations carried on a 33 kV feeder show the gains of BESS is illustrated. The paper concludes by focusing on the capacity of BESS needed to be installed to act as a fast-active power injector in case of under frequency load shedding occurs in the system.","PeriodicalId":260353,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 5th International Conference on Computing Communication and Automation (ICCCA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125160546","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 Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is the real number transformation version of the Fourier transform. Therefore, there is no phase spectrum in the DCT transform. However, it is noticeable that several state-of-the-art DCT hiding schemes treat the DCT signs as phase signals, and hide only in the DCT magnitude spectrum. However, there is no solid study on the importance of the DCT signs (phase) on image steganography schemes. Thus, this paper aims to highlight the impact of the DCT phase on hiding schemes, and to discover the degree of improvement achieved by simply keeping the DCT signs intact while hiding the secret message.","PeriodicalId":260353,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 5th International Conference on Computing Communication and Automation (ICCCA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115054201","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 water pump is driven by a position sensorless-BLDC motor drive. Together with eliminating the position sensors, the said system obviates the motor current sensing. The motor speed is adjusted as per the available maximum power. A three-phase inverter is used to control the motor. The maximum PV power generation is also obtained through the same inverter.
