Indian languages have very less linguistic resources, though they have a large speaker base. They are very rich in morphology, making it very difficult to do sequential tagging or any type of language analysis. In natural language processing, parts-of-speech (POS) tagging is the basic tool with which it is possible to extract terminology using linguistic patterns. The main aim of this research is to do sequential tagging for Indian languages based on the unsupervised features and distributional information of a word with its neighboring words. The results of the machine learning algorithms depend on the data representation. Not all the data contribute to creation of the model, leading a few in vain and it depends on the descriptive factors of data disparity. Data representations are designed by using domain-specific knowledge but the aim of Artificial Intelligence is to reduce these domain-dependent representations, so that it can be applied to the domains which are new to one. Recently, deep learning algorithms have acquired a substantial interest in reducing the dimension of features or extracting the latent features. Recent development and applications of deep learning algorithms are giving impressive results in several areas mostly in image and text applications.

AprilTags and other passive fiducial markers require specialized algorithms to detect markers among other features in a natural scene. The vision processing steps generally dominate the computation time of a tag detection pipeline, so even small improvements in marker detection can translate to a faster tag detection system. We incorporated lessons learned from implementing and supporting the AprilTag system into this improved system. This work describes AprilTag 2, a completely redesigned tag detector that improves robustness and efficiency compared to the original AprilTag system. The tag coding scheme is unchanged, retaining the same robustness to false positives inherent to the coding system. The new detector improves performance with higher detection rates, fewer false positives, and lower computational time. Improved performance on small images allows the use of decimated input images, resulting in dramatic gains in detection speed.

I consider a number of methods of automatic quadratic features adjustment for digital textural images of biological tissues in order to improve the quality of classification. The proposed approaches are based on optimization procedures that use various quality criteria of a feature space as target functions. I investigate the methods based on random search, genetic algorithm, simulation of annealing, as well as the original hybrid algorithm. I presented results of experimental studies of the proposed algorithms on sets of real X-ray images of bone tissue and the lung CT images. We show that the hybrid algorithm provides more stable results regardless of the chosen quality criterion of the feature space, which is expressed in decreasing of the average percentage of incorrectly recognized images in comparison with the use of the specific optimization methods individually.

Canopies are major part of plant photosynthesis and have distinct architectural elements such as tree crowns, whorls, branches, shoots, etc. By measuring canopy structural parameters, the solar radiation interception, photosynthesis effects and the spatio-temporal distribution of solar radiation under the canopy can be evaluated. Among canopy structure parameters, Leaf Area Index (LAI) is the key one. Leaf area index is a crucial variable in agronomic and environmental studies, because of its importance for estimating the amount of radiation intercepted by the canopy and the crop water requirements. The LAI can be achieved by hemispheric images which are obtained below the canopy with high accuracy and effectiveness. But existing hemispheric images canopy-LAI measurement technique is based on digital SLR camera with a fisheye lens. Users need to collect hemispheric image manually. The SLR camera with fisheye lens is not suit for long-term canopy-LAI outdoor measurement too. And the high cost of SLR limits its capacity. In recent years, with the development of embedded system and imageprocessing technology, low cost remote canopy hemispheric image acquisition technology is becoming possible. In this paper, we present a remote hemispheric canopy image acquisition system with in-field/host configuration. In-field node based on imbed platform, low cost image sensor and fisheye lens is designed to achieve hemispherical image of plant canopy at distance with low cost. Solar radiation and temperature/humidity data, which are important for evaluating image data validation, are obtained for invalid hemispherical image elimination and node maintenance too. Host computer interacts with in-field node by 3G network. The hemispherical image calibration and super resolution are used to improve image quality in host computer. Results show that the remote canopy image collection system can make low cost remote canopy image acquisition for LAI effectively. It will be a potential tec

An improved method for visibility enhancement of foggy based degraded images is presented. Proposed technique consists of two phases: firstly applied the visibility enhancement algorithm and then automatic color enhancement algorithm. Quantitative metric and qualitative result of proposed technique is evaluated and compared with other existing visibility restoration algorithms. In this paper quantitative results are presented in terms of measure of enhancement and measure of enhancement factor. Simulation results on foggy images from database demonstrates that proposed technique provides better visibility enhancement results as compared to the others existing visibility enhancement algorithms. A result reveals that proposed technique is an efficient method for visibility enhancement of foggy based degraded images.

As a consequence of fluctuations in the index of refraction of the air, atmospheric turbulence causes scintillation, spatial and temporal blurring as well as global and local image motion creating geometric distortions. To mitigate these effects many different methods have been proposed. Global as well as local motion compensation in some form or other constitutes an integral part of many software-based approaches. For the estimation of motion vectors between consecutive frames simple methods like block matching are preferable to more complex algorithms like optical flow, at least when challenged with near real-time requirements. However, the processing power of commercially available computers continues to increase rapidly and the more powerful optical flow methods have the potential to outperform standard block matching methods. Therefore, in this paper three standard optical flow algorithms, namely Horn-Schunck (HS), Lucas-Kanade (LK) and Farneback (FB), are tested for their suitability to be employed for local motion compensation as part of a turbulence mitigation system. Their qualitative performance is evaluated and compared with that of three standard block matching methods, namely Exhaustive Search (ES), Adaptive Rood Pattern Search (ARPS) and Correlation based Search (CS).

Most current high contrast imaging point spread function (PSF) subtraction algorithms use some form of a least-squares noise minimization to find exoplanets that are, before post-processing, often hidden below the instrumental speckle noise. In the current standard PSF subtraction algorithms, a set of reference images is derived from the target image sequence to subtract each target image, using Angular and/or Simultaneous Spectral Differential Imaging (ADI, SSDI, respectively). However, to avoid excessive exoplanet self-subtraction, ADI and SSDI (in the absence of a strong spectral feature) severely limit the available number of reference images at small separations. This limits the performance of the least-squares algorithm, resulting in lower sensitivity to exoplanets at small angular separations. Possible solutions are to use additional reference images by acquiring longer sequences, use SSDI if the exoplanet is expected to show strong spectral features, or use images acquired on other targets. The latter option, known as Reference Star Differential Imaging (RSDI), which relies on the use of reference images that are highly correlated to the target image, has been ineffective in previous ground-based high contrast imaging surveys. The now >200 target reference library from the Gemini Planet imager Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) allows for a detailed RSDI analysis to possibly improve contrast performance near the focal plane mask, at similar to 2-7 lambda/D separations. We present the results of work to optimize PSF subtraction with the GPIES reference library using a least-squares algorithm designed to minimize speckle noise and maximize planet throughput, thus maximizing the planet signal to noise ratio (SNR). Using December 2014 51 Eri GPI data in the inner 100 mas to 300 mas annulus, we find no apparent improvement in SNR when using RSDI and/or our optimization scheme. This result, while still being investigated, seems to show that current algorithms on ADI+SSDI da

In this paper, design and development of a selfsufficient sentry robotic gun is presented. Professional robotic assemblies which are generally developed for security purposes are targeted toward high efficiency and are based on extensive control algorithms. This makes them quite expensive and infeasible for low budget applications. One important component of such systems is that of motion detection. Motion detection also plays a key role in security applications installed at banks, offices and vulnerable areas. An efficient motion detection system has been developed using embedded micro-controller and MATLAB interface. The proposed system can also be set into an autonomous mode of operation, in which the system tracks and engages targets without any human intervention. Aside from autonomous mode, there is also a manual over-ride mode. The hardware employed in the proposed system is based on easily accessible materials. Motion detection and imageprocessing was implemented using MATLAB imageprocessing toolbox and periodic background estimation subtraction was used for the detection of motion.
Most of the survey techniques used in archaeology and architecture are currently focused on range-data (laser scanning) and image-based systems (digital photogrammetry/photoscanning). The paper aims to highlight a dif...

Brain tumor segmentation is an important task in medical imageprocessing. Early diagnosis of brain tumors plays an important role in improving treatment possibilities and increases the survival rate of the patients. Manual segmentation of the brain tumors for cancer diagnosis, from large amount of MRI images generated in clinical routine, is a difficult and time consuming task. There is a need for automatic brain tumor image segmentation. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of MRI-based brain tumor segmentation methods. Recently, automatic segmentation using deep learning methods proved popular since these methods achieve the state-of-the-art results and can address this problem better than other methods. Deep learning methods can also enable efficient processing and objective evaluation of the large amounts of MRI-based image data. There are number of existing review papers, focusing on traditional methods for MRI-based brain tumor image segmentation. Different than others, in this paper, we focus on the recent trend of deep learning methods in this field. First, an introduction to brain tumors and methods for brain tumor segmentation is given. Then, the state-of-the-art algorithms with a focus on recent trend of deep learning methods are discussed. Finally, an assessment of the current state is presented and future developments to standardize MRI-based brain tumor segmentation methods into daily clinical routine are addressed.
