An Efficient Edge Detection Technique for Hazy Images using DCP

Images of outdoor areas are typically degraded in quality by its turbid medium in the nature such as haze, fog and smoke. The absorption and scattering of light on such kind of images effects the quality of the image. The degraded images will loss the contrast and color artifacts from the original image. Edge detection is another challenging issue on such kinds of degraded images. There are several research works are under progress to reduce the haze exists in the image. Although haze removal techniques will reduce the haze present in the image, the results of those techniques were dropped the natural look of the original image as penalty. We proposed an effective way of finding the edges from the hazy images. Firstly, a dark channel prior method is used to eliminate the unwanted haze from the original image. The statistics shows that this method effectively works for the images taken in an outdoor hazy environment. The key observation of this method is that at least one color channel is having a minimum intensity value in a local patch. The results shows that results of this method have a good results compared to other contrast improvement techniques. Secondly we have applied the Sobel edge detection operator to find the edges of the resultant image

Four-dimensional data assimilation and balanced dynamics

The problem of spurious excitation of gravity waves in the context of four-dimensional data assimilation is investigated using a simple model of balanced dynamics. The model admits a chaotic vortical mode coupled to a comparatively fast gravity wave mode, and can be initialized such that the model evolves on a so-called slow manifold, where the fast motion is suppressed. Identical twin assimilation experiments are performed, comparing the extended and ensemble Kalman filters (EKF and EnKF, respectively). The EKF uses a tangent linear model (TLM) to estimate the evolution of forecast error statistics in time, whereas the EnKF uses the statistics of an ensemble of nonlinear model integrations. Specifically, the case is examined where the true state is balanced, but observation errors project onto all degrees of freedom, including the fast modes. It is shown that the EKF and EnKF will assimilate observations in a balanced way only if certain assumptions hold, and that, outside of ideal cases (i.e., with very frequent observations), dynamical balance can easily be lost in the assimilation. For the EKF, the repeated adjustment of the covariances by the assimilation of observations can easily unbalance the TLM, and destroy the assumptions on which balanced assimilation rests. It is shown that an important factor is the choice of initial forecast error covariance matrix. A balance-constrained EKF is described and compared to the standard EKF, and shown to offer significant improvement for observation frequencies where balance in the standard EKF is lost. The EnKF is advantageous in that balance in the error covariances relies only on a balanced forecast ensemble, and that the analysis step is an ensemble-mean operation. Numerical experiments show that the EnKF may be preferable to the EKF in terms of balance, though its validity is limited by ensemble size. It is also found that overobserving can lead to a more unbalanced forecast ensemble and thus to an unbalanced analysis

Aggressiveness of Ralstonia solanacearum isolates on Tomato

Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the world’s most economically important destructive disease of crop plants. Fifty seven isolates of R. solanacearum causing wilt on different host plants were collected from different agro climatic zones of India of which 54 isolates were confirmed as race-1, biovar-3 and 3 isolates as race-1, biovar-3B based on morphological, physiological, biochemical and pathogenicity studies. All the isolates were authenticated as Ralstonia solanacearum by using two sets of primers (OLI1 & Y2 and Y1 & Y2). Serological identity of the isolates was done by using diagnostic kit obtained from International Potato Research Center, Lima, Peru and single chain variable fragment antibody specific to Ralstonia solanacearum. Fifty seven isolates of R. solanacearum were inoculated on tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L) cv. Avinash-II under artificial conditions at bacterial concentration of 5x108 cfu/ml to test its aggressiveness; the results obtained are discussed in this paper

Assessment of Mechanical Property of Ti-5Ta-2Nb and 304L SS Explosive Clad and Correlation with Microstructure

AbstractSpent fuel reprocessing plants of FBRs require advanced structural materials for service in aggressive conditions. Ti-5Ta-2Nb is a candidate structural material for electrolytic dissolver whereas 304L SS is used for rest of the plant. ‘Zero failure’ requirement for the process vessels necessitated the development of defect free explosive clad between Ti-5Ta-2Nb and 304L SS. The paper deals with the investigations carried out on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the explosive clads, and modification in microstructure on subsequent thermal exposure. The structural integrity of the clad as a consequence of these structure-property changes is also discussed in the paper
