Robust 3D People Tracking and Positioning System in a Semi-Overlapped Multi-Camera Environment
People positioning and tracking in 3D indoor environments are challenging tasks due to background clutter and occlusions. Current works are focused on solving people occlusions in low-cluttered backgrounds, but fail in high-cluttered scenarios, specially when foreground objects occlude people. In this paper, a novel 3D people positioning and tracking system is presented, which shows itself robust to both possible occlusion sources: static scene objects and other people. The system holds on a set of multiple cameras with partially overlapped fields of view. Moving regions are segmented independently in each camera stream by means of a new background modeling strategy based on Gabor filters. People detection is carried out on these segmentations through a template-based correlation strategy. Detected people are tracked independently in each camera view by means of a graph-based matching strategy, which estimates the best correspondences between consecutive people segmentations. Finally, 3D tracking and positioning of people is achieved by geometrical consistency analysis over the tracked 2D candidates, using head position (instead of object centroids) to increase robustness to foreground occlusions

Review of Face Detection Systems Based Artificial Neural Networks Algorithms
Face detection is one of the most relevant applications of image processing
and biometric systems. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used in the
field of image processing and pattern recognition. There is lack of literature
surveys which give overview about the studies and researches related to the
using of ANN in face detection. Therefore, this research includes a general
review of face detection studies and systems which based on different ANN
approaches and algorithms. The strengths and limitations of these literature
studies and systems were included also.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, 1 table, IJMA Journa
Effect of cooking time on physical properties of almond milk-based lemak cili api gravy
One of the crucial elements in developing or reformulating product is to maintain the quality throughout its entire shelf life. This study aims to determine the effect of different cooking time on the almond milk-based of lemak cili api gravy. Various cooking times of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes were employed to the almond milk-based lemak cili api gravy followed by determination of their effects on physical properties such as total soluble solids content, pH and colour. pH was determined by using a pH meter. Refractometer was used to evaluate the total soluble solids content of almond milk-based lemak cili api gravy. The colours were determined by using spectrophotometer which expressed as L*, a* and b* values. Results showed that almond milk-based lemak cili api gravy has constant values of total soluble solids with pH range of 5 to 6, which can be classified as low acid food. Colour analysis showed that the lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) are significantly increased while redness (a*) decreased. In conclusion, this study shows that physical properties of almond milk-based lemak cili api gravy changes by increasing the cooking time
