Living independently is of great importance to older adults, and technology is seen as a potential enabler of independent living. Nonetheless, factors related to ageing may contribute to difficulties in using technology. In particular, we are interested in online grocery shopping, for its potential to overcome some of the physical barriers to food shopping. One of the difficulties discussed in the...
The Homestay websites in Malaysia are gaining popularity, locally and abroad. Thus, it is imperative that it should be designed by using the proper accessibility guidelines However, the current accessibility state of the Homestay websites in Malaysia is still unknown. The main objective of this research is to investigate the accessibility of Homestay websites in Malaysia. There are 328 samples of...
In today's world of fast communication, to insure, the security and integrity of information is a big challenge. Data hiding also known as Steganography is one of the fields that deal in methods related information security and hide secret information and message other information. This paper elucidates the effect of data hiding in different number of least significant bits in the primary colors of...
Today image processing and utilizations based on RGB-D data have huge interest in various research areas. Regarding segmentation, colour correction, depth information, comprehensive description of 3-Dimension scenes in RGB-Depth data provides useful hints from another dimension to segregate substance in close colours. Here, super pixel segmentation based a new method is discussed to resolve such mixed,...
In computer vision applications such as person re-identification the optimization of rank list is an important issue. In order to address this issue, a multi-feature fusion based re-ranking technique is proposed. In most of the conventional methods, a long feature vector is formulated from a single modality. Whereas, in the proposed approach, multiple features from the image are extracted and combined...
Shadows cast by the moving objects may lead to several errors in the process of moving object detection and tracking. Since the shadows are connected to the object and move along with it, false object detection may occur in addition to the problem of false connectivity and loss of background texture. Hence shadow detection is an important preprocessing step for a robust visual surveillance system...
Coloring process in digital artwork production has a decisive influence on impressive quality of work. Traditionally, a user tends to take a lot of time for searching his/her ideal coloration. We propose a method enabling the user to easily find his/her ideal solution among huge color combinations and allow him/her to produce unexpected yet creative images. We developed an illustration production...
With the progressive development of the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems, analysis of high resolution histopathological images has become more easier. In the proposed study, the effects of different color spaces used in various studies in the literature are investigated for the discrimination of cellular structures from background in histopathological images. For this purpose, performances of...
In this paper, we develop a novel method for vehicle classification using color images from surveillance videos. Proposed approach utilizes deformable part based (DPM) object detectors to localize different parts of the vehicle such as license plates and headlights. Next, we extract color features around the detected regions to infer the color of the vehicle. Color descriptors are used to detect the...
In this paper, we proposed a specular reflection suppression method for endoscopic images. To reduce the impact of specular reflection on visual quality, the proposed method is composed of two parts: reflection detection and reflection suppression. To detect reflection regions, a thresholding algorithm is used. To suppress the effect of specular reflection, a modified image inpainting algorithm is...
Colors play a vital role in letting us perceive and distinguish between the various things that exist in our surroundings. While many of us are able to do so perfectly, some are not blessed with a perfect visual ability. The answer to the question that how fine is our color vision, depends upon some factors which we will be explaining in detail in this paper. When these parameters deviate from their...
Moving Object detection is a challenging tool because shape and size of the object in a video vary significantly according to camera direction, partial occlusion and poses. Significant research has been carried out for detecting people in videos. Traditional methods for detecting human used sliding window approach which involved scanning various sizes of windows across an image. Hence in this work...
The power automation system, which can control almost everything that is powered by electricity in hospitals using live gesture recognition. In this proposed model the system uses a camera feed to detect the motion of hand, or any object. This movement of the object matched with the stored gestures to find the closest match and perform the corresponding actions associated with the gesture. This is...
Skin color segmentation is important for several image processing, and computer vision applications. But, the accuracy of a color-based skin detection method is affected by the presence of some skin-like colors in the background regions. So, probabilistic approaches are more suitable for the skin detection as compared to hard decision-based approaches. A Skin Probability Map (SPM) of an image provides...
Saliency detection is detecting the more attracted regions in an image. Like a loud noise in a quite environment. Saliency is the contrastic difference between the visually attracted items and their neighbourhood. Detecting such attracted areas in the image is termed to be saliency detection. Salient region detection can be broadly classified into contrast based method, learning based, rarity based...
The eye is one of the most important sensory organs in the human body. Eye disease is a common health issues around the world. Two such diseases are cataract and conjunctivitis. Cataract causes a sort of clouding on the lens leading to reduced vision and if kept untreated for long leads to permanent blindness. Conjunctivitis or pink eye is a condition where the conjunctiva of the eye is inflamed by...
In today's life travelling has become a passion. But travelling is not so easy unless we know the place and its details. When we visit a new place in order to know the details of that place, we usually take help of native people at times there might arise a situation where we cannot communicate with them. In other ways we browse about the place this approach may also lead to confusion and does not...
This paper describes approach to detect object using its shape and color information which is capable of detecting object rapidly and comparatively with good detection rate. This work divided into two part. First how to use color information to segment the object and secondly how to compare the contour of extracted object with contour of object to be the detected. Proposed method uses Fourier descriptor...
Shadow cause some unwanted change in computer vision and image analysis. Shadow leads to problems in extraction, segmentation of object and recognition due to the misclassification of shadow points as foreground or object points. So, the detection of shadow is of broad interest in computer vision. Due to the alteration in illumination of the background and similarity between appearance of the objects...
The current scenario of scientific knowledge has seen a zoom in the improvement of various technologies. Attributable to this development, the importance level of protecting data has increased rapidly. Security to information defends the access to data from unauthorized users. The likelihood of knowledge insecurity arises to each giant and additionally tiny organization. Data Breach will have an effect...
