Image segmentation can be accomplished in a variety of ways from simple hand-specified regions to intelligent auto-detected regions of interest. Regions of interest can be different objects in an image or different color, foreground, and background of an image. Segmentation process is different for each type of application and there is a lack of a universal process that can be applied to all image segmentation tasks. Experts in the field have proposed many Neural Network-based solutions yet unable to achieve significant results segmenting human portraits. To address this issue, this article proposes the use of U-Net model incorporated with alpha matting, for image segmentation of people, separating foreground and background. For experiments, Matting Human Dataset has been used that is publically available on Kaggle. We evaluated the performance of our proposed model and obtained the Jaccard similarity index 0.95 and Dice similarity index 0.72. Empirically, our proposed model takes the advantages of using U-Net model to accomplish reliable results when compared with the other state of the art methods.","PeriodicalId":357522,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122868327","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}

Multiple users from several regions use different languages (a mix of native, local and other languages) to express their emotions. Roman Urdu-English and Roman Hindi-English are the two most commonly used languages on social media in the South Asia region. Therefore, the ASB detection with multilingual (multiple languages) model settings represents a wide area of interest for all kinds of social media platforms. Failing to properly address this issue over time on a global scale has already led to morally questionable real-life events, human deaths, and the perpetuation of hate itself. In this paper, we perform a sentimental analysis of the Roman Urdu-English and Roman Hindi-English languages using transformer based mBERT and XLM-R models.

However, the demands for 3D technology and 3D reconstruction have been rapidly increasing nowadays. The traditional approach of computer graphics is to create a geometric model in 3D and try to reproduce it onto a 2D image with rendering. The major aim of the study is to create 3D models from 2D RGB image using machine learning techniques to be less computationally complex as compared to any deep learning algorithm. The proposed model has been based on three different modules such as: 2.5D features extraction, mesh generation, and 3D boundary detection. The ShapeNet dataset has been used for comparison. The testing results has shown an accuracy of 90.77 % in the plane class, 85.72% in the chair class, and 72.14% in the automobile class. The proposed model could be applicable to problems where reconstruction of 3D models is required such as: variations in geometric scale, mix of textured, uniformly colored, and reflective surfaces.","PeriodicalId":357522,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133882889","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}

When the motion of the multi-targets are in close vicinity, their track becomes cross-merged so that the multi-target turn out to be one target. We propose two ideas; one is to refine the target estimates by applying smoothing method, and the other is to ignore the influence of target measurement being tracked in a vicinity of a potential track. The proposed smoothing method uses the linear multi-target based on integrated track splitting filter (sLM-ITS) to avoid joint (common) multi-target measurements association while allowing them as pretended clutters. Hence, sLM-ITS updates a potential track without impact of the other tracks in its vicinity. The proposed method avoids track coales-cence significantly in a difficult multi-target situation. The sLM-ITS method provides improved smoothing as well as false-track discrimination (FTD) capabilities in comparison to the existing algorithms as illustrated in the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":357522,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124152351","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}

Lung cancer is the second most common cause of death for women and the primary cause of death for men. Therefore, early detection of lung knobs is one of the most effective ways to treat lung infections. Similarly, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of lung knobs has gotten a huge interest over the last decade. As a result of the broad variety of lung knobs and the complications of the entire environment, developing a robust knob detection approach is extremely difficult. A convolutional neural network (CNN) based framework is proposed to detect tumors that are identified as risky or benign in lung disease screening using CT images. Two publicly available datasets LUNA-16 and LIDC are employed to detect lung cancer. The dataset is augmented to maximize the volume of images in it. Also, preprocessing is done on CT images for better noise removal. Additionally, segmentation is performed to specify the infected area. Three pre-trained architectures, DenseNet, AlexNet, and VGG-16, are utilized to classify the cancerous and normal images. The DenseNet classifier achieved 98% classification accuracy, 98.93% sensitivity, and 99% specificity, which exhibits outstanding performance than other classifiers. The efficient results of the proposed framework show better performance than existing state-of-art studies.","PeriodicalId":357522,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"415 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117300070","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}

Particularly, for commonly available single frequency (SF) receivers, an unaccounted multipath error can severely affect positioning accuracy. For multipath mitigation, SF code measurements can be filtered and these filtered pseudoranges are used for positioning. However, filtering multipath is a challenging problem due its stochastic nature. Wavelet signal processing, used for analysis of non-stationary data, can cater for the stochastic nature of multipath. This paper uses wavelet denoising scheme for reducing multipath error in SF code-pseudoranges. The procedure for selecting wavelet filters is outlined. Finally, the positions obtained with wavelet filtered pseudoranges are compared to positions computed with unfiltered pseudoranges. It is seen that wavelet denoising refines the GNSS observation data by reducing multipath and gives smoothed pseudoranges resulting in higher positioning precision. Therefore, an appropriate selection of wavelet filters results in reduction of multipath to a great extent for SF measurements.","PeriodicalId":357522,"journal":{"name":"2023 4th International Conference on Advancements in Computational Sciences (ICACS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127627055","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 is especially beneficial for senior citizens and disabled youngsters. Many research and innovation are conducting on in the field of gestures recognition. In this project, home automation is performed through the use of gestures to control appliances and contradicting the computer vision approaches as an elder person is not capable for ensuring the environment for the computer vision techniques as it requires proper lightning conditions and angle to ensure the parameters. Sensor embedded Hand glove that collects hand motions has been discussed in this study. The wearable device detects and records tilting, rotation, and acceleration of the hand movement using accelerometers and gyroscopes. Our proposed human gestures recognition (HGR) system recognizes nine different hand gestures taken from benchmarked dataset. We used a combination of features extraction algorithms and a random forest classifier to compare our system's performance with other well-known classifiers. We have achieved an accuracy of 94% over the benchmark HGR dataset.

If skin diseases are not treated during early stages, they can be dangerous to human life. Melanoma is a deadly type of skin cancer. Dermatologists find it difficult to diagnose melanoma skin cancer because of its complex structure. Significant human lives could be saved if melanoma cancer was diagnosed quickly and accurately. Expert dermatologists diagnose melanoma by examining the lesion's color images. It is very difficult to diagnose melanoma manually, and there is a risk of human error. Therefore, computer vision-based methods that diagnose melanoma disease correctly are offered, and there is little room for error as compared to manual diagnostic methods. In this research, we took images from multiple publicly available ISIC (International Skin Imaging Collaboration) data sets and developed a balance data set that has 10,500 images for training and testing. An ensemble of four convolution neural network (CNN) architectures (ResNet50, EfficientNet B6, InceptionV3, Xception) were utilized and trained on this dataset for classification of melanoma skin cancer.
