Much advancement has been arrived in the treatment and diagnosis of cirrhosis, still identifying the exact affected region is a challenging one. Content-based image retrieval in the identification of liver cirrhosis is a popular task performed usually, in which many techniques are introduced by the researchers so far. This paper is a part among all, which focus on providing the efficient detection of cirrhosis on the basis of separation and location of nuclei method. The liver cells are classified, and the overlapping of nuclei and non-nuclei cells is separated to evaluate the distance among them so as to locate the disease. The classification of cells is implemented with the help of adaptive regularised Kernel fuzzy C-means technique, and the distance between consecutive nuclei and non-nuclei is estimated by using earth movers distance. The experimental results and their analysis describe that the proposed method performs well than the other methods.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44128526","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}

To address the issue of text detection, a novel approach for text detection from natural scene image is introduced by developing a joint feature extraction method by considering shape and scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) feature analysis techniques. Shape extraction is improved by applying curvature-based shape analysis model. To construct the feature descriptor, input image is passed through canny edge detection process in which gradients are computed of each image. Later, we perform SIFT analysis and SIFT-based feature matching to formulate the SIFT feature descriptor. Finally, these two descriptors are merged together, and a combined descriptor is presented for text detection. Experimental study is carried out by considering benchmark ICDAR 2003, 2013 and 2015 data sets. Experimental study shows that proposed approach outperforms when compared with state-of-art text detection model.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45723004","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}

However, it has two main issues: first one is rerouting and unable to identify updation of round-trip time (RTT) when changes occurred in the network, these two problems leads to affects the performance of Vegas. These drawbacks persist mostly in the Vegas estimation process of the propagation delay, i.e. BaseRTT. In this paper, we proposed a novel algorithm that uses the cuckoo search optimisation algorithm for selecting the optimal value of BaseRTT. Also, our proposed algorithm has dynamically considered slow start algorithm based on the estimation in real time, the available bandwidth and adjust decrease/ increase rate in congestion avoidance phase for a particular network environment. Simulation results have shown that our proposed algorithm can effectively avoid packet losses and attain the maximum throughput when compared with existing algorithms.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42296143","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}

Furthermore we analyse different types of technologies and various models involve in detection techniques such as RGB and HSI models for detecting smoke and fire. Generally, the false alarm rate can be reduced by image processing through effective types of detection techniques such as vision-based or sensor-based methods. Mainly in this paper, we focus on optimised technologies in order to detect smoke and fire at the earliest possible stage of the event, and smoke and fire detection by satellite vision methods.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"56 1","pages":"22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66731622","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}

As the network is open to all other devices, incorporating security becomes a challenging task for the resource-constrained wireless sensor networks. Mobile agent's deployment provides solution to the problems occurring in WSNs. We define an intelligent mobile agent (IMA)-based security optimisation in which different agents govern the network performance such as routing, security check and transmission. Node's behaviour, available energy and congestion at the link are analysed for every transmission by different agents that ensure the secure communication by eliminating attackers from the routing path. Different from the other agent-based routing schemes, IMA utilises minimum agents for even a large scalable network. The process is simulated, and the results prove that IMA provides enhanced performance and secure communication.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2017-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48711453","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}
