Abstract: This paper describes a complex energy signal model
that is isomorphic with digital human fingerprint images. By using
signal models, the problem of fingerprint matching is transformed
into the signal processing problem of finding a correlation between
two complex signals that differ by phase-rotation and time-scaling. A
technique for minutiae matching that is independent of image
translation, rotation and linear-scaling, and is resistant to missing
minutiae is proposed. The method was tested using random data
points. The results show that for matching prints the scaling and
rotation angles are closely estimated and a stronger match will have a
higher correlation.
Abstract: The number of features required to represent an image
can be very huge. Using all available features to recognize objects
can suffer from curse dimensionality. Feature selection and
extraction is the pre-processing step of image mining. Main issues in
analyzing images is the effective identification of features and
another one is extracting them. The mining problem that has been
focused is the grouping of features for different shapes. Experiments
have been conducted by using shape outline as the features. Shape
outline readings are put through normalization and dimensionality
reduction process using an eigenvector based method to produce a
new set of readings. After this pre-processing step data will be
grouped through their shapes. Through statistical analysis, these
readings together with peak measures a robust classification and
recognition process is achieved. Tests showed that the suggested
methods are able to automatically recognize objects through their
shapes. Finally, experiments also demonstrate the system invariance
to rotation, translation, scale, reflection and to a small degree of
distortion.
Abstract: The production of a plant can be measured in terms of
seeds. The generation of seeds plays a critical role in our social and
daily life. The fruit production which generates seeds, depends on the
various parameters of the plant, such as shoot length, leaf number,
root length, root number, etc When the plant is growing, some leaves
may be lost and some new leaves may appear. It is very difficult to
use the number of leaves of the tree to calculate the growth of the
plant.. It is also cumbersome to measure the number of roots and
length of growth of root in several time instances continuously after
certain initial period of time, because roots grow deeper and deeper
under ground in course of time. On the contrary, the shoot length of
the tree grows in course of time which can be measured in different
time instances. So the growth of the plant can be measured using the
data of shoot length which are measured at different time instances
after plantation. The environmental parameters like temperature, rain
fall, humidity and pollution are also play some role in production of
yield. The soil, crop and distance management are taken care to
produce maximum amount of yields of plant. The data of the growth
of shoot length of some mustard plant at the initial stage (7,14,21 &
28 days after plantation) is available from the statistical survey by a
group of scientists under the supervision of Prof. Dilip De. In this
paper, initial shoot length of Ken( one type of mustard plant) has
been used as an initial data. The statistical models, the methods of
fuzzy logic and neural network have been tested on this mustard
plant and based on error analysis (calculation of average error) that
model with minimum error has been selected and can be used for the
assessment of shoot length at maturity. Finally, all these methods
have been tested with other type of mustard plants and the particular
soft computing model with the minimum error of all types has been
selected for calculating the predicted data of growth of shoot length.
The shoot length at the stage of maturity of all types of mustard
plants has been calculated using the statistical method on the
predicted data of shoot length.
Abstract: An attractor neural network on the small-world topology
is studied. A learning pattern is presented to the network, then
a stimulus carrying local information is applied to the neurons and
the retrieval of block-like structure is investigated. A synaptic noise
decreases the memory capability. The change of stability from local
to global attractors is shown to depend on the long-range character
of the network connectivity.
