Conventional antennas such as a half wavelength dipole antenna (0.835 GHz), rectangular patch antenna (0.8 GHz) and Planar Inverted F Antenna (PIFA) (0.8 GHz) are designed and simulated. In order to reduce their SAR values, Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure is placed near the dipole antenna. The various plots such as the S-parameter, radiation patterns and SAR values are generated to investigate results. The human head model with six layers having the appropriate material properties is designed to have a realistic approach in the detailed study on the SAR. All simulations are done in Ansys HFSS.","PeriodicalId":368544,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifth International Conference on Advances in Computing and Communications (ICACC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133406476","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 similarity in density among PM area and the breast region may generate false positive results which can adversely affect early breast cancer detection. Noise, wedges, opaque markers etc along with labels are unnecessary in mammographic images. The suspicious segments of PM boundary are obtained by extracting contours of homogeneous regions. The geometrical properties of contour segments are analyzed for extracting PM boundary component. An intensity similarity approach extends the detected major PM boundary segment to the two boundaries of mammogram. Experimental analyses were carried out on mammograms obtained from Mammographic Image Analysis database. The proposed methods yields low values for average false positive, average false negative and Hausdorff distance. From the performance analysis of the proposed algorithm, 97% of images have an average error less than 4 mm. Low values of performance measures for the proposed method shows that the extracted PM boundary is close to radiologist drawn PM border.","PeriodicalId":368544,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifth International Conference on Advances in Computing and Communications (ICACC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134421686","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}

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique used in medical science to diagnose tumors of the brain by producing high quality images of the inside of the human body, by using various edge detectors. There exists many edge detector but still, need for research is felt in order to enhance their performance. A very common problem faced by most of the edge detector is the choice of threshold values. This paper presents fuzzy based edge detection using K-means clustering method. The K-means clustering approach is used in generating various groups which are then input to the mamdani fuzzy inference system. This whole process results in the generation of the threshold parameter which is then fed to the classical sobel edge detector which helps in enhancing its edge detection capability using the fuzzy logic. This whole setup is applied on the MR images of the human brain. The retrieved results represents that fuzzy based k-means clustering enhances the performance of classical sobel edge detector and along with retaining much relevant information about the tumors of the brain.","PeriodicalId":368544,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifth International Conference on Advances in Computing and Communications (ICACC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117052232","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}

Data used for identification is obtained from Daisy database. Ratio between reboiler duty and feed flow, ratio between reflux rate and feed flow, ratio between distillate and feed flow, input ethane composition and top pressure were used as input variables while top ethane composition, bottom ethylene composition and differential pressure between top and bottom were used as output variables. In this work a new method for identification of distillation column using NARX based ANFIS is proposed. Result showed neural network model and ANFIS model was able to capture nonlinear dynamic behavior of the distillation column. Results were compared with statistical criterion (Correlation Coefficient and Root Mean Square Error) for each of the neural network model and ANFIS model to understand which model performs better. Considering the results it is obvious that NARX based ANFIS model is more accurate with less number of iteration.","PeriodicalId":368544,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifth International Conference on Advances in Computing and Communications (ICACC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130226105","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}

Because of limited wireless link capabilities, nodes with heavy traffic will reduce their energy rapidly and increases the possibility of congestion and path disconnection. Hence, load balancing and congestion is necessary in MANET. Thus, this paper explores an efficient routing technique called multipath load balancing technique for congestion control (MLBCC) in MANETs to efficiently balance the load among the multiple paths by reducing congestion. The proposed protocol performs two major functions during the data transmission process, firstly, congestion detection by using an arrival rate and an outgoing rate at a particular time interval T. Secondly, selection of gateway node using link cost and the path cost to efficiently distribute the load by selecting the most desirable paths. For an efficient flow of distribution, a node availability degree standard deviation parameter is introduced. The results of our experiments show performance improvements in terms of average end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and packet drop ratio in comparison with AOMDV and FMLB.","PeriodicalId":368544,"journal":{"name":"2015 Fifth International Conference on Advances in Computing and Communications (ICACC)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132009372","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}

Like a loud noise in a quite environment saliency is the contras-tic difference between the visually attracted items and their neighborhood. Detecting those attracted areas in the image is termed to be saliency detection. We proposed a novel salient region detection method by integrating four features namely boundary information, frequency weight map, global contrast and color spatial variance. Finally, the saliency map is defined as being the average of the three feature maps added by color spatial variance.

We are trying to reduce the volume of a video by creating its summary. Summarization may either produce a image/video as output. We generate a summary video. Duplicate frame removal and stroboscopic imaging are the main techniques used in the work. For better results, the shots identified at the initial step are further processed to create their own summary clips. Summary clips are clustered together to form the final summary.
