There are various methods for fruit volume estimation based on images, i.e., Basic Shape, Solid of Revolution, Conical Frustum, and Regression. The weight estimation generally uses Regression. This study analyzed the accuracy of these methods. Tests were done by taking images of symmetrical fruits (represented by tangerines) and non-symmetrical fruits (represented by strawberries). The images were processed using segmentation in saturation color space to get binary images. The Regression method used Diameter, Projection Area, and Perimeter as features that were extracted from the binary images. For symmetrical fruits, the best accuracy was obtained with the Linear Regression based on Diameter (LDD), which gave the highest R2 (0.96 for volume and 0.93 for weight) and the lowest RMSE (5.7 mm3 for volume and 5.3 gram for volume). For non-symmetrical fruits, the highest accuracy for non-symmetric fruits was given by the Linear Regression based on Diameter (LRD) and Linear Regression based on Area (LRA) with an R2 of 0.8 for volume and weight. The RMSE for LRD and LRA for strawberries was 3.3 mm3 for volume and 1.4 grams for weight.","PeriodicalId":42785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ICT Research and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45102373","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}

In this paper, a broadcast monitoring system is proposed for Myanmar FM radio stations by utilizing space-saving audio fingerprint extraction based on the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC). This study focused on reducing the memory requirement for fingerprint storage while preserving the robustness of the audio fingerprints to common distortions such as compression, noise addition, etc. In this system, a three-second audio clip is represented by a 2,712-bit fingerprint block. This significantly reduces the memory requirement when compared to Philips Robust Hashing (PRH), one of the dominant audio fingerprinting methods, where a three-second audio clip is represented by an 8,192-bit fingerprint block. The proposed system is easy to implement and achieves correct and speedy music identification even on noisy and distorted broadcast audio streams. In this research work, we deployed an audio fingerprint database of 7,094 songs and broadcast audio streams of four local FM channels in Myanmar to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The experimental results showed that the system achieved reliable performance.","PeriodicalId":42785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of ICT Research and Applications","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47138589","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}

In this study, we used data reduction and ensemble learning techniques to overcome these problems. We used numerosity reduction, dimension reduction, and a LightGBM model based on boosting added with a bagging technique, which we compared with incremental learning. Our experimental results showed that the numerosity reduction and dimension reduction techniques could speed up the training process and model prediction without reducing the accuracy.

To ensure the reduction in bandwidth utilization and storage capacity to the barest minimum, keyframe extraction strategies have been developed. These strategies are implemented to extract unique keyframes whilst removing redundancies. Despite the achieved improvement in keyframe extraction processes, there still exist a significant number of redundant frames in summarized videos. With a view to addressing this issue, the current paper proposes an enhanced keyframe extraction strategy using k-means clustering and a statistical approach. Surveillance footage, movie clips, advertisements, and sports videos from a benchmark database as well as Compeng IP surveillance videos were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. In terms of compression ratio, the results showed that the proposed scheme outperformed existing schemes by 2.82%. This implies that the proposed scheme further removed redundant frames whiles retaining video quality. In terms of video playtime, there was an average reduction of 27.32%, thus making video content retrieval less cumbersome when compared with existing schemes.

It can spread rapidly into other parts of the body, causing untimely death when undetected due to rapid growth and division of cells in the breast. Early diagnosis of this disease tends to increase the survival rate of women suffering from the disease. The use of technology to detect breast cancer in women has been explored over the years. A major drawback of most research in this area is low accuracy in the detection rate of breast cancer in women. This is partly due to the availability of few data sets to train classifiers and the lack of efficient algorithms that achieve optimal results. This research aimed to develop a model that uses a machine learning approach (convolution neural network) to detect breast cancer in women with significantly high accuracy. In this paper, a model was developed using 569 mammograms of various breasts diagnosed with benign and maligned cancers.

One of the places where mMTC can be applied is in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A WSN consists of several sensor nodes that send their sensing information to the cluster head (CH), which can then be forwarded to a high altitude platform (HAP) station. Sensing information can be sent by the sensor nodes at the same time through the same medium, which means collision can occur. When this happens, the sensor node must re-send the sensing information, which causes energy wastage in the WSN. In this paper, we propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol to control access from several sensor nodes during data transmission to avoid collision. The sensor nodes send Round Robin, Interrupt and Query data every eight hours. The initial slot for transmission of the Round Robin data can be either randomized or reserved. Analysis performance was done to see the efficiency of the network with the proposed MAC protocol. Based on the series of simulations that was conducted, the proposed MAC protocol can support a WSN system-based HAP for monitoring every eight hours.

Since most dangerous cyberattacks are aimed at commercial websites, because they contain more critical data such as credit card numbers, it is better to set up the defense system priorities towards actual attacks that come from profit websites. This study evaluated the effect of textual website metrics in determining the type of website as profit or nonprofit for security purposes. Classifiers were built to predict the type of website as profit or non-profit by applying machine learning techniques on a dataset. The corpus used for this research included profit and non-profit websites. Both traditional and deep machine learning techniques were applied. The results showed that J48 performed best in terms of accuracy according to its outcomes in all cases. The newly built models can be a significant tool for defense systems of organizations, as they will help them to implement the necessary security policies associated with attacks that come from both profit and non-profit websites.
