In this paper, we propose a novel method for detecting and recognizing the text from the blurred images. Text detection in natural scenery images is an important issue in the processing stage. All the previously proposed methods use different algorithms to detect text in images;however, they suffer from poor performance while performing detection in blurred images. The proposed algorithm is capable of removing blur with an iterative deconvolution method and a linear invariant filter. The proposed method can achieve detection and recognition of the text with a time complexity of 4.53 s. Experiments show our method achieves a better text detection than the other existing methods.

Oil spill pollution is a severe environmental problem that persists in the marine environment and in inland water systems around the world. Remote sensing is an important part of oil spill response. The hyperspectral images can not only provide the space information but also the spectral information. Pixels of interests generally incorporate information from disparate component that requires quantitative decomposition of these pixels to extract desired information. Oil spill detection can be implemented by applying hyperspectral camera which can collect the hyperspectral data of the oil. By extracting desired spectral signature from hundreds of band information, one can detect and identify oil spill area in vast geographical regions. There are now numerous hyperspectral imageprocessingalgorithms developed for target detection. In this paper, we investigate several most widely used target detection algorithm for the identification of surface oil spills in ocean environment. In the experiments, we applied a hyperspectral camera to collect the real life oil spill. The experimental results shows the feasibility of oil spill detection using hyperspectral imaging and the performance of hyperspectral imageprocessingalgorithms were also validated.

The detection of targets in military and security applications involves the usage of sensor systems which consist of a variety of sensors such as seismic, acoustic, magnetic and image ones as well. In order to extract signal features, which characterize particular targets, using of appropriate signal processingalgorithms is required. Seismic signals can be considered as nonstationary and nonlinear signals especially in near-field seismic zone. Most of the signal processingalgorithms assumed that signals are linear and stationary. However, in many cases this assumption is not valid, especially in case of seismic signals generated by moving vehicles, walking persons or gunfire activity. There are several methods which can be used for seismic signal processing, like short-time Fourier transform (STFT), Wavelet transform (WT) and Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD). The paper presents the concept of the seismic sensor system based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) sensor SF1500S.A dedicated to vehicle detection. The main part of the paper deals with application of the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) to seismic signal processing in time and time-frequency domain. In conclusion, the outcomes of experiments provide comparison of HHT and STFT efficiency in terms of seismic features description of moving vehicle.

Compressed sensing (CS) is a novel developed theoretical framework for information acquisition and processing. Taking advantages of the sparsity or compressibility inherent in real world signals, CS can collect compressed data at the sampling rate much lower than that needed in Shannon's theorem. When it has been used for medical imaging techniques, CS theory can fast the scanning speed of MRI, reduce the radiation doses and alleviate the patients' suffering. In order to obtain the effective sparse representation, the nonsubsampled contourlet transform in the frequency domain (NSCT-FD) is adopted, then an improved fast iterative soft thresholding algorithm (FISTA) is applied for CS-MRA reconstruction. This novel method not only inherits the simplicity and effectiveness of the original FISTA, and the sparse curvy representation ability of the contourlet transform, but also has the advantages of the shift-invariant property and much less computational burden. The performance is evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively both in noiseless and noisy situations, compared to the classic wavelet and the sharp frequency localization contourlet transform (SFLCT) method. Three quantitative indices are employed including the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mutual information (MI) and relative l 2 norm error (RLNE) and qualitative performance evaluations use the profiles in horizontal direction and local region magnification comparison. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the NSCT-FD algorithm, displaying higher PSNR and MI, and lower RLNE indices in both noiseless and noisy MRA images, which have good reconstruction accuracy with reasonable real time computation speed. It is manifest that the NSCT-FD algorithm can be applied in fast medical imaging fields to achieve quality images in a relatively fast process, which will benefit cardiac and carotid MRI, dynamic MRI and MRA.

The importance of this paper focuses on the efficiency of the solar panel which can be increased by incorporating indigenous solar tracking systems in order to increase solar panel efficiency. The implementation necessitates precise control which is important to build a refined tracking system. A solar tracking system with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based imageprocessing (IPT) Techniques to estimate the astronomical aspects of the sun from Global Positioning System (GPS) and machine vision image sensor is proposed here. The features extracted using IP algorithms with a decision making AI process is adopted to differentiate whether the present weather condition is sunny or cloudy. With reference to the results obtained, the solar tracking system establishes the usage of astronomical calculations approximately. The proposed hi-tech arrangement is evaluated and validated through experimentation results which are made available on the cloud service for coordination.

The physical condition that affects the way the human body processes sugar (glucose) is known as diabetes. It is an alarming issue and is one of the major causes to prolong human wounds. Wounds examination process involves an expertise and constant follow ups to check and recommend wound details. This is a costly process and troublesome in case of bed ridden patients. Various systems like MEdical Digital PHOtogrammetric System (MEDPHOS), Measurement of Area and Volume Instrument System (MAVIS) have been developed for wound assessment. The systems suffer from high cost and maintenance. Moreover, these also need an expertise to perform assessment. As smart phones have become the part and parcel of our lives,, this project attempts to make use of Smart phones with a high-resolution digital camera, assessing wounds by analyzing images of chronic foot ulcers. In this paper, we have developed an android based smartphone based solution involving the patients or hospital nurses actively. Additionally, we have also developed an online "Experts review" system which would send the image analysis notifications to the user. The proposed system consist of an android-based PC application. The user captures the image and uploads the image to the database. The image is then processed against the K-shift algorithm. The inferences like the wound status are then sent to the user and the image is also sent for expert review. The experts then examine the image, and based on the status of the wounds, they suggest for any changes in the treatment. Our simulation results show that the wound detection using K-mean shift algorithms gave good accuracy of approximately 80%. This shows that with this smart phone system provides promising accuracy for wound image analysis.

The Cropland Capture game, which is a recently developed Geo-Wiki game, aims to map cultivated lands using around 17,000 satellite images from the Earth's surface. Using a perceptual hash and blur detection algorithm, we improve the quality of the Cropland Capture game's dataset. We then benchmark state-of-the-art algorithms for an aggregation of votes using results of well-known machine learning algorithms as a baseline. We demonstrate that volunteer-image assignment is highly irregular and only good annotators are presented (there are no spammers and malicious voters). We conjecture that the last fact is the main reason for surprisingly similar accuracy levels across all examined algorithms. Finally, we increase the estimated consistency with expert opinion from 77 to 91% and up to 96% if we restrict our attention to images with more than 9 votes.

Quantifying the accuracy of segmentation and manual delineation of organs, tissue types and tumors in medical images is a necessary measurement that suffers from multiple problems. One major shortcoming of all accuracy measures is that they neglect the anatomical significance or relevance of different zones within a given segment. Hence, existing accuracy metrics measure the overlap of a given segment with a ground-truth without any anatomical discrimination inside the segment. For instance, if we understand the rectal wall or urethral sphincter as anatomical zones, then current accuracy measures ignore their significance when they are applied to assess the quality of the prostate gland segments. In this paper, we propose an anatomy-aware measurement scheme for segmentation accuracy of medical images. The idea is to create a "master gold" based on a consensus shape containing not just the outline of the segment but also the outlines of the internal zones if existent or relevant. To apply this new approach to accuracy measurement, we introduce the anatomy-aware extensions of both Dice coefficient and Jaccard index and investigate their effect using 500 synthetic prostate ultrasound images with 20 different segments for each image. We show that through anatomy-sensitive calculation of segmentation accuracy, namely by considering relevant anatomical zones, not only the measurement of individual users can change but also the ranking of users' segmentation skills may require reordering.
