This book focuses on soft computing and its applications to solve real-life problems occurring in different domains ranging from medical and health care, supply chain management and imageprocessing to cryptanalysis. It presents the proceedings of International Conference on Soft Computing: Theories and Applications (SoCTA 2016), offering significant insights into soft computing for teachers and researchers and inspiring more and more researchers to work in the field of soft computing. The term soft computing represents an umbrella term for computational techniques like fuzzy logic, neural networks, and nature inspired algorithms. In the past few decades, there has been an exponential rise in the application of soft computing techniques for solving complex and intricate problems arising in different spheres of life. The versatility of these techniques has made them a favorite among scientists and researchers working in diverse areas. SoCTA is the first international conference being organized at Amity University Rajasthan (AUR), Jaipur. The objective of SoCTA 2016 is to provide a common platform to researchers, academicians, scientists, and industrialists working in the area of soft computing to share and exchange their views and ideas on the theory and application of soft computing techniques in multi-disciplinary areas. The aim of the conference is to bring together young and experienced researchers, academicians, scientists, and industrialists for the exchange of knowledge. SoCTA especially encourages the young researchers at the beginning of their career to participate in this conference and present their work on this platform.

Background extraction is a fundamental task present in most computer vision applications such as video surveillance, optical motion capture or multimedia applications. In this paper we explore a particular foreground segmentation method based on the well-known Pixel-based Adaptive Segmenter (PBAS) algorithm, proposing modifications that will ease the hardware implementation. Also, the figures of merit of a focalplane approach for foreground segmentation are studied through the impact of typical temporal and spatial noise sources present in the processing elements of smart image sensors such as leakage currents from analog memories or fixed pattern noise (FPN) from mismatch.

Laser spot detection is an important problem in optical measurement. The precision and speed of the detection algorithm influence the optical measurement system directly. The traditional algorithms such as Hough Transform and Gravity model are unsatisfactory in complex conditions. The laser spot detection algorithm referred in this paper is based on the quaternion discrete cosine transform and moment and a method is adopted to approximate the edge of the laser spot. Not only the center and edge can be detected simultaneously but also the robustness of noise is better than others. The algorithm is suitable for the real-time optical measurement.

The vision characteristics-based on image detection techniques are functional method, which are appropriate for many industrial and agricultural applications. The color detection method is such a technique for non-destructive grading of the grape after the harvest process, which have been widely used in a variety of fruits' quality inspection and grading aspects based on vision computing method. However, the shapes of the entire bunch of grapes are obviously different with each other, which will influence the accuracy of non-destructive detection. This work develops a method for image detection and color grading of red and black grape samples, which uses vision computing technology to extract the effective color features of red and black grape samples, the experimental results show that the effective region extraction and color detection algorithms are feasible for color detection of grape.

Feature aggregation is a crucial step in many methods of image classification, like the Bag-of-Words (BoW) model or the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). In this aggregation step, usually known as spatial pooling, the descriptors of neighbouring elements within a region of the image are combined into a local or a global feature vector. The combined vector must contain relevant information, while removing irrelevant and confusing details. Maximum and average are the most common aggregation functions used in the pooling step. To improve the aggregation of relevant information without degrading their discriminative power for classification in this work we propose the use of Ordered Weighted operators. We provide an extensive evaluation that shows that the final result of the classification using OWA aggregation is always better than average pooling and better than maximum pooling when dealing with small dictionary sizes.

In this work we study and generalize an image magnification algorithm based on the use of interval-valued fuzzy sets. The first proposed generalization incorporates an homogeneity measure that allows to model the length of the intervals generated by the algorithm. The second one makes use of several homogeneity measures and, by means of a fusion function, it combines the intervals generated by each individual homogeneity measure. The results show that our generalization outperforms the original algorithm when an appropriate homogeneity measure is used. Moreover, experiments have demonstrated that the second generalization, based on interval fusion functions, avoids low quality results due to bad homogeneity measures.

In the moving target detection, there are a lot of methods. But the effects of those algorithms are limited, especially in complex environment. This paper putts forward a new method to detect moving targets, which uses virtual binocular disparity. It is called virtual because the environment uses one camera but the theory is about two cameras. Virtual binocular disparity algorithm regards moving targets as static targets under two cameras. It uses two neighboring images, the current frame image and the next frame image. The algorithm looks the two images as two static images under two cameras, then uses stereo match theory to calculate the disparity of the neighboring images. Because the background of the two images is the same, the disparity of their background is about zero. And the disparity of moving targets is positive or negative. The sign of disparity means the direction of targets moving. So we can use the sign of disparity to distinguish the targets moving in different directions. The direction detected out will be helpful for subsequent work, for example, targets tracking and counting etc. This algorithm fully uses the continuity property of moving targets, so it can have good effect. In the end of the paper, experiments are used to prove the algorithm.
Efficient imageprocessing can lead to complex algorithms. In Embedded context resources are limited and the approach of linear algorithm does not allow to decrease complexity regarding the variations of these resourc...
