This research proposes to automate the plate recognition process by installing an IP camera on a road and analyzing the video-feed to capture the vehicles along that road. The contours of the characters in a given plate image are detected, violated and isolated from the parent image. This results to segmented characters. Each of the characters are identified using a k nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm...
In Face recognition, a combination of neural network (NN), known as an ensemble of neural network, often outperforms individual ones. This paper is aiming to present a support vector machines (SVM)-ensemble-based efficient face recognition system. The training samples are randomly chosen by means of bootstrap technique to train the different SVM independently. These SVM's are combined together to...
The typical method of entering a password for user authentication is vulnerable to hacking; therefore, various security technologies using bio-signals, such as iris scan, electrocardiography, electromyography (EMG), and fingerprint recognition, are being developed. In this research, an authentication algorithm using an EMG signal is proposed to supplement the weakness of personal certification techniques...
This paper proposes an adaptive multiclass neurofuzzy classifier (MC-NFC) for fault detection and classification in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The designed fuzzy classifier was optimized by seeking for the best numerical values of the parameters that tune its membership functions. The experiments have been conducted on the basis of collected data from a real time PV array emulator (namely array...
An algorithm that can predict the review rating of a potential business with only existing information about the location and business categories would be an invaluable tool in making investment decisions. Utilizing the Yelp business dataset, we built a model, that can do as such, by classifying whether a potential business belongs to a positively-reviewed class (star ratings greater than or equal...
This project explored fundamental methods to find the factors that can be used in classifying and detecting the type of wood. Whereas, the literatures have been reviewed to determine the algorithms developed. Some experiments have been conducted to analyze the model and system. The experiments are based on artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm that used back propagation and conjugate gradient...
Roller element bearing fault diagnosis is crucial in industry to maintain that the machine is in good condition so that there is no delay of work due to machine breakdown. This paper discusses the use of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm to classify bearing faults. The performance of ELM is compared with Back Propagation (BP) algorithm. It was found that the results show that the ELM has smaller...
A variety of methods exists for electroencephalographic (EEG) signals classification. In this paper, we briefly review selected methods developed for such a purpose. First, a short description of the EEG signal characteristics is provided. Then, a comparison between the selected EEG signal classification methods, based on the overview of research studies on this topic, is presented. Examples of methods...
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a person's brain is interrupted or reduced. The stroke deprives person's brain of oxygen and nutrients, which can cause brain cells to die. Numerous works have been carried out for predicting various diseases by comparing the performance of predictive data mining technologies. In this work, we compare different methods with our approach for stroke prediction...
In the last decade, numerous fake websites have been developed on the World Wide Web to mimic trusted websites, with the aim of stealing financial assets from users and organizations. This form of online attack is called phishing, and it has cost the online community and the various stakeholders hundreds of million Dollars. Therefore, effective counter measures that can accurately detect phishing...
In this study, EEG records taken from healthy people with eyes open and eyes closed, EEG records taken from epileptic patients at the time of seizure and out of seizure were classified using Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor and Artificial Neural Networks methods. Feature vectors are obtained by using Daubechies wavelet transforms with different degrees and their effect on the classification success...
Convolutional neural network (CNN) is more and more important in pattern recognition. In this work, we adopt label relations and long short-term memory (LSTM) to develop an accurate CNN-based scene classification algorithm. Traditional scene classification algorithms assume that labels are mutually exclusive. However, this is not reasonable when an image has a variety of objects and hence has multiple...
The class imbalance problem occurs when instances in one class are more than that in another. It has been reported to severely hinder classification performance of many traditional classification algorithms and many researchers have paid a great deal of attention to this field. Different kinds of methods have been pro-posed to solve the problem these years, such as resampling methods, integrated learning...

Purpose: Development of algorithms and software system allowing to improve the efficiency of human face detection and in addition facial expression classification on images with complex background,...
In this paper the practical issues of automotive surface identification system development are considering. The novelty of this work is the combining of different training algorithms, neural network structures and methods to increase the classification accuracy and avoid overfitting of real-world data. The obtained results thereby demonstrate that the use of proposed system architecture and statistical...
Chronic kidney failure (chronic kidney disease ‘CKD’) is a serious disease that related to the gradual loss of kidney function. It is considered one of the health threats in the developing and undeveloped countries At early stages, few symptoms can be detected, where the CKD may not become obvious until significant kidney function impaired occur. CKD treatment focuses on reducing the kidney damage...
A cardiac circumstance affected through irregular electrical action of the heart is called an arrhythmia. A noninvasive method called Electrocardiogram (ECG) is used to diagnosis arrhythmias or irregularities of the heart. The difficulty encountered by doctors in the analysis of heartbeat irregularities id due to the non-stationary of ECG signal, the existence of noise and the abnormality of the heartbeat...
Now a day's recognition of satellite image authenticity has received too much attention due to the invention of various remote sensing image inpainting algorithms. Satellite image forgery can be referred as a technique in which fake satellite image is generated by the creation and alternation of new image contents. This paper proposes an algorithm for the identification of inpainted remote sensing...
Prediction in the stock market is challenging and complicated for investors. Many researches have performed to sense the future market movements. In the stock market, social media data have high impact today than ever. In this work, various prediction algorithms are analyzed to build a prediction model. The prediction model will be based on monthly prediction and daily prediction to forecast the next...
The Robot based landmine detection problem is a multiphase problem in which one element is the classification of landmines and clutter. To design an efficient and effective classification model requires considering factors such as the failure to detect a landmine, detection time and the high amount of false alarms that occur due of improper classification. In the absence of an extensive analysis on...
