An Agent-based CBIR System for Medical Images

JOURNAL OF FACULTY OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, 2014

Most of the existing retrieval methods use textual information, which has been mainly entered manually for every image in the image collection. In order to access the images of interest, user gives textual input against which images are retrieved from the image collection. Sometimes, this results in garbage retrieval due the human involvement in the image annotation process. So more efficient image retrieval mechanism is needed. To overcome the issue, other approach which is generally considered is content-based image retrieval (CBIR). CBIR depends on the automatically extracted features for every image in the image collection as well as their storage and comparison upon a query. Therefore, feature extraction technique and their storage space are important aspects of CBIR. In this paper, we design and develop agent-based CBIR system for image retrieval and suggest t...

In this paper, we proposed a conceptual model of human memory and its formal specifications. The proposed model takes the structure-to-function approach. The proposed model is also formally evaluated with one of the existing model for the possibilities of temporary memory. And we proved that our proposed model encapsulates more information and it is more appropriate to handle memory related brain data as compared to the existing biological models.

Fair, cheap and quick dispensation of justice is the prime responsibility of the government. In this context production of prisoners before the courts of law has always been a gigantic task for various agencies of the state. Some times, the Judges dealing with the matter have to visit jails to conduct trial there, which is commonly known as jail trial. But this is to be done at the cost of adjournments of many other cases, which are listed for the relevant date by the Judges or the Magistrates. It results in wastage of time, financial loss to the public as well as to the state. It also delays decision of other judicial matters. Production of hardened and desperate criminals after their apprehension before the courts of law for the purposes of their remand and trial has always been a problem for the investigating agencies and the state. Such criminals are usually linked with the gangs, who have a tendency to attack the police personnel during the transit to manage escape of their accomplices. Many events of this nature have already happened in the past, which sometime prove tragic and result in many causalities. Special arrangement for the production of such criminals burdens the state with financial loss.

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS ALGEBRA: DESIGNING QUALITY SOFTWARE

Moreover, quality requirements are essential for a software system to be developed. The software must comply with users' requirements either functional and/or non-functional. The process of gathering and analyzing essential and complete user requirements is challenging one. As development of cloud applications is concerned, the requirements gathering and analysis process seems to be more complex due to crucial nature of user requirements particularly encompassing additional security requirements. Key challenge in cloud computing is data security so securities concerns are supposed to be the most essential factor in the domain of cloud computing applications. Such challenge demands a formally secure System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Our research study proposes requirement analysis algebra that may provide a formal basis to requirement engineering and consequently may help the analyst in analyzing both functional and security requirements of cloud applications to be developed. The application of algebra proposed may enhance understanding of system requirements phase and improve the security requirements significantly.

A Computational Framework for Unified Biological Databank to Overcome Heterogeneity of Biological Data Format

blocks lie in the category of biological data. Biological data which comprises various organisms like animals,
plants, viruses, bacteria and humans,throughout the globe has heterogeneous nature. This heterogeneity is
caused by different parameters such as storage mechanism, information representation and content format.
The abundance of heterogeneity creates a havoc towards optimized exploitation, integration, storage and
retrieval of existing biological data. This work introduces a computational framework for achieving a unified
format for biological data, which can accommodate different formats of storage; and data presentation.
An information retrieval system for biological data has been developed which sheds light on different
recompenses gained by this unified format of the biological data.

This work introduces a novel action recognition algorithm with normalization enhancements. Initially feature vectors are extracted using 2D SIFT features. Bag of Words model is extended with a new normalization technique on the visual vocabulary to make the dimensions same so that the actions would be easier to read and extract. This normalization technique vastly improves the results from the state of the art methods. HMM based model is developed for training and testing of six basic actions present in the KTH human action dataset. By comparing our work with previously applied models, results display that our approach vastly improves the accuracy of the existing methods of action recognition.

A Unified Integration Model and Database Management System for Genomic Data

This means, they have different notations, formats and terminologies for the same kind of data. To overcome the problems due to the heterogeneous and disperse nature of these databases, two main data integration approaches are used i.e. Mediator-based approach and Data warehouse approach. Systems developed using these approaches allow biologists read-only access of data. At times, they need to submit their own generated data during experiments to databases which is not possible with existing systems. In this paper, we design and develop data warehouse based system which not only allows biologists and researchers to access data but also to submit data they generated during lab experiments.

Storage, processing and manipulation of DNA’s structural information in a computer system are still in its infancy. For perfect handling of such type of data, we need a Database Management System. Our research work described in this paper arose from the observation that existing data models and query languages (and the database systems realizing them) do not offer sufficient support for the modelling of DNA structure. This is an attempt to find a good representation for DNA structure and solution to the problem representation of DNA is given in form of an object oriented data model by using the idea of bar code technology.
