Our proposed non-destructive technique uses soft x-ray image analysis technique backed up by soft computing algorithm to estimate silk content. Advance image processing and analysis techniques have been applied to extract morphological features from the x-ray images of the cocoons and features are fed to GRNN to estimate the silk content.

In most of the cases the face cropping is done manually and the formulae for extracting a feature point are highly complicated. In this article a facial feature extraction method is proposed where color face images are auto-cropped and control points are extracted, both using the same segmentation mechanism. The segmentation method is first used to auto crop the image and then again applied on this auto cropped image for the detection of major connected components. The feature points are detected simply using the geometrical measurement of location and size of the component without any a priory knowledge of the probabilistic distance between the feature points or using any feature point extraction formula. A T-shaped face image is formed comprising of major feature points. Recognition rate on the unprocessed face images, using PCA, is recorded. PCA is applied on the T-shaped faces and the improvement in rate of recognition is concluded to be statistically significant.","PeriodicalId":289647,"journal":{"name":"Indo-Japan Conference on Perception and Machine Intelligence","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128030553","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}

Hence after object collection and flattening in document image processing system, the compression ratio would be improved by employing OS-RDC (Orientation and Scale Mapped Reusable Document Component) which in turn would improve the performance of the system (as printing system). But especially for the scaled down and non-orthogonally rotated objects, jagging effect creates significant imaging artifacts in terms of image quality degradation.

Performance is analyzed with Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and Gammatone frequency cepstral coefficients (GFCC). The Gaussian mixture model approach is used for speaker modeling.
