The illumination characteristics of light sources can determine whether the light source is a normal or a faulty one. The proposed work is based on moving a platform containing a light source in both horizontal and vertical directions by gesture recognition. The gesture recognition done by Fuzzy C means and snake algorithm-based skin color detection makes the recognition more accurate. The illumination values of the light source are obtained by a webcam. The set of data helps in classification of the state of an unknown light source (normal or faulty) by support vector machines with radial basis function as kernel with a yield of an error rate of about 0.6% marking the efficacy of the system and making the system a novel and sophisticated one.

In image processing and computer vision, snake (active contour model) is an effective tool in implementing brim detection or contour extraction of object. But the snake algorithm has the deadly shortcoming - the result is affected by the origin position. In this paper, proposed a new modified algorithm combining centric algorithm into the snake algorithm, so get the priority information of the origin position The algorithm reduces sensitivity to initialization while providing superior performance. Finally the results of the computer simulation show the advantage of the new algorithm.

The detection of chest CT scan images of the lung play a key role in clinical decision making for some lung disease, such as tumors, pulmonary tuberculosis, solitary pulmonary nodule, lung masses and so on. In this paper, a novel automated CT scan image segmentation algorithm based on hybrid Ant Colony algorithm and snake algorithm is proposed. Firstly, traditional snake algorithm is used to detect the possible edge points of focal of a disease. Then Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is applied to search the possible edge points of focal of a disease repeatedly. Finally, real edges can be extracted according to the intensity of pheromones. Simulation experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more efficient and effective than the methods we compared it to.

Designing an effective classifier has been a challenging task in the previous methods proposed in the literature. In this paper, we apply a combination of feature selection algorithm and neural network classifier in order to recognize five types of white blood cells in the peripheral blood. For this purpose, first nucleus and cytoplasm are segmented using Gram-Schmidt method and snake algorithm, respectively;second, three kinds of features are extracted from the segmented areas. Then the best features are selected using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Finally, five types of white blood cells are classified using Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neural network. The performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is validated by an expert's classification results. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is highlighted by comparing our results with those reported in a recent article which proposed a method based on the combination of Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) as the feature selection algorithm and Support Vector Machines (SVM) as the classifier.

This paper proposes a novel approach to the contour extraction of moving objects in an image sequence. Our approach is to fuse information from color segmentation, motion segmentation, and active contour (snake) to achieve accurate extraction of the boundary of moving objects. It works well not only for a single moving object, but also for images having mutiple moving objects. Several experiments have been conducted to show the promise of our algorithm.

Robot path planning is one of the core issues in robotics and its application. Optimizing the route discovery becomes more important while dealing with the robot-based application. This paper proposes the concept of early detection of the obstacle present in the workspace of the robots. To early detect the obstacle, this paper proposes the concept of a snake algorithm along with the traditional path planning algorithms. The contour detection part is merged with the different path planning algorithms to optimize the robot traversing and benefit it in producing good results. Obstacle-free optimized path is one of the core requirements for robots in any application. With the help of path planning algorithms, robots are enabled to derive those paths in a specific environment. The presence of an obstacle makes it difficult for any path planning algorithms to derive a smooth path. The purpose of using the snake algorithm is to detect an obstacle early. This method not only perceives the obstacle but also catches out the complete boundary of the obstacle, it, thus, provides the details of obstacle coordinates to the path planning algorithm. Conceiving the complete periphery of obstacles can have multiple advantages in many application areas. A*, PRM, RRT, and RRT Smooth algorithms are considered along with the snake algorithm to validate our work in three different experimental scenarios: Maze, Random Obstacles, and Dense case. Path length, Time-taken, and Move count are parameters taken to observe the results. The result obtained using the snake algorithm with four path planning algorithms is analyzed and compared in detail with the core A*, PRM, RRT, and RRTS. Finally, the result obtained using the proposed methodology gives some encouraging results and also predicts the exploration of the robot's path planning for more applications and fields.

The knee is one of the most complicated joints in the human body, but it could be easily injured. Ultrasound imaging is an important technology for the diagnosis of the knee disease. To assist doctors in the treatment and reduce errors of judgment, we investigate the segmentation of disease regions and the automated identification of the typical knee joint diseases. First, we use deep learning to segment the Region of Interest (ROI). To solve the mis-segmentation and poor edge segmentation that occur when the ultrasound image is directly fed into the deep neural network, an image segmentation framework is proposed that integrates snake preprocessing, dilated convolution to expand the receptive fields, and multi-channel learning. Second, due to the small difference in features among various categories of ultrasound images, a hybrid algorithm is proposed based on the Resnet rough classification and quadratic training with graph embedding. Finally, the experiments show that the proposed image segmentation framework achieves 10% greater accuracy than a common segmentation network. By visualizing the feature vectors extracted from the classification network, we verify that the feature vectors are closer on similar images after quadratic training by graph embedding. Employing the optimization with quadratic training, we increase the classification accuracy by 11% compared to the Resnet approach. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The problem of clustering in urban traffic networks has been mainly studied in static framework by considering traffic conditions at a given time. Nevertheless, it is important to underline that traffic is a strongly time-variant process and it needs to be studied in the spatiotemporal dimension. Investigating the clustering problem over time in the dynamic domain is critical to better understand and reveal the hidden information during the process of congestion formation and dissolution. The primary motivation of the paper is to study the spatiotemporal relation of congested links, observing congestion propagation from a macroscopic perspective, and finally identifying critical pockets of congestion that can aid the design of peripheral control strategies. To achieve this, we first introduce a static clustering method to partition the heterogeneous network into homogeneous connected sub-regions. This method guarantees connectivity of the cluster, which eases the development of a dynamic framework. The proposed clustering approach obtains a feasible set of connected homogeneous components in the network called snakes, which represent a sequence of connected links with similar level of congestion. Secondly, the problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear optimization to find major skeleton of clusters out of this feasible set by minimizing a heterogeneity index. Thirdly, a fine-tuning step is designed to assign the unclustered links of the network to proper clusters while keeping the connectivity. The approach is extended to capture spatiotemporal growth and formation of congestion. The dynamic clustering is based on an iterative and fast procedure that considers the spatiotemporal characteristics of congestion propagation and identifies the links with the highest degree of heterogeneity due to time dependent conditions and finally re-cluster them while by minimizing heterogeneity and imposing connectivity. The developed framework can be directly implemented in a
