To find the correct boundary in noisy image of spine disc is still a difficult one. The proposed Canny Edge Detection algorithm has been used to detect the boundaries of spine disc image from the noisy image. The performance of proposed technique has been verified and validated with the standard medical values. The results show that the proposed technique performs well and produced very near to the optimal solution. This method is robust for all kinds of noisy images.","PeriodicalId":412303,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Conference on Trendz in Information Sciences & Computing (TISC2011)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124378009","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}

Extracting mobility patterns from past trajectories is very suitable and different methods have been studied for this purpose. But most of them, except a few, focus on data mining techniques and not on database requirements such as proper indexing techniques and management of discovered patterns. Some of the existing methods do not store timings for patterns and none of them can handle long-term predictions. In this paper, we propose an indexing technique called Trajectory Pattern Indexing for Prediction or TPIP. In complexity analysis, it shows lower searching time than just one similar solution. It also makes it possible to process long-term predictions. With TPIP, we can store patterns with same location sequence but different timing; with no redundancy.","PeriodicalId":412303,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Conference on Trendz in Information Sciences & Computing (TISC2011)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127537731","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}

Given a text query by users, the system then returns a series of approximately relevant video shots by matching the input text with the text documents associated with the video shots. Users are usually interested in the top ranked portion of returned search results and therefore it is crucial for search engines to achieve accuracy on the search results. In this paper content based video searching re-ranking and retrieval framework is proposed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the search engines. Here input is given as a video, where the video is converted into frames and key frames are extracted. Motion estimation, Colour, edge and texture features are extracted for the key frames. Initial ranking on the search results is done for distinct features. Then features are Fused and finally re-ranked to form a unified accurate search result.","PeriodicalId":412303,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Conference on Trendz in Information Sciences & Computing (TISC2011)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121905626","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 number of zerocrossings is computed in autocorrelation-domain rather than in time-domain. The accuracy of the proposed measurement method is evaluated using both sinusoidal and speech waveforms under different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

In this protocol, the interference and load of each link is determined based on which a combined routing metric is designed. Multiple shortest paths are then established and the path with least combined metric is chosen as primary path. In case of any failures in primary path, the data transmission can be rerouted through the backup path. By simulation results, we show that the proposed protocol has improved throughput with reduced delay and overhead when compared to the existing protocols.","PeriodicalId":412303,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Conference on Trendz in Information Sciences & Computing (TISC2011)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128572978","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 updation mechanism involves calculation of number of free wavelengths and shortest distance at the source node to identify the optimal and backup lightpath to reduce the congestion and delay in the network. As soon as the request approaches the node, it is served with the best lightpath with the help of the data available in the node table which reduces the setup time. Backup lightpath is used for survivability. The selection of backup lightpath is done in such a way that there is no shared link between the primary and backup lightpath but it can be shared with another backup lightpath. Grooming is used for low speed traffics to reduce the connection request blocking. By simulation results, we showed that our proposed protocol has low blocking probability.","PeriodicalId":412303,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Conference on Trendz in Information Sciences & Computing (TISC2011)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132257491","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}

Since these kinds of applications are carrying spatial as well as attributed data and they are integrated as a service component, obviously the veracity and size of the application is bigger than the conventional one. Furthermore, the spatial data which is used in GIS application is high resolution satellite images. Traditionally, end-to-end transmission of spatial data contents will be rendered to the client browser consumes more time, and the veracity of the content must be safe-guarded. Since the GIS image constitutes of various layers and they are in an integrated format, the image is obviously bulk in size. It poses major threat to the end user by unnecessarily wait for a long time to render the spatial data into the client browser. So a novel routing strategy must be adapted to ensure the best effort delivery of GIS data. In this paper, we have introduced QGIS routing (QoS routing for GIS applications) technique used to handle the user query well and the appropriate network resources will be allotted. To foster the proposed method, We have designed a GIS system for emergency management as a test bed to verify and validate with the proposed method. The application specific QoS attributes are tested and the experimental result shows a very favorable result.","PeriodicalId":412303,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Conference on Trendz in Information Sciences & Computing (TISC2011)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126318327","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}
