Palmprint Recognition by using Bandlet, Ridgelet, Wavelet and Neural Network

Palmprint recognition has emerged as a substantial biometric based personal identification. Tow types of biometrics palmprint feature. high resolution feature that includes: minutia points, ridges and singular points that could be extracted for forensic applications. Moreover, low resolution feature such as wrinkles and principal lines which could be extracted for commercial applications. This paper uses 700nm spectral band PolyU hyperspectral palmprint database. Multiscale image transform: bandlet, ridgelet and 2D discrete wavelet have been applied to extract feature. The size of features are reduced by using principle component analysis and linear discriminate analysis. Feed-forward Back-propagation neural network is used as a classifier. The recognition rate accuracy shows that bandlet transform outperforms others

Strain analysis at flat surfaces of loaded members using digital image correlation technique

This research examines the applicability of the planned Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system to measure the strains in tensile experiments. DIC is a low-cost optical technique, and is an appropriate measurement used to measure surface displacement, strain and stress map distribution without any contact with the tested surfaces. In the present research, the tensile test is conducted on two different flat samples, which are painted in a speckle pattern on the tested surface to use DIC features in stain measurements. To guarantee the efficiency of the planned DIC system, the DIC code has been built using MATLAB programming language. The obtained results from DIC technique is compared with the results from open-source software (Ncorr), the finite element analysis (ANSYS) as well as the exact and analytical solutions. The comparison results showed that there was A quite acceptable and agreement achieved between them. According to the exact solution, The percentage of accuracy of the obtained results for the Aluminum without hole plate was around (89-93) % whereas the accuracy with the NCORR was about 96 %. For the second copper plate with a central hole, the accuracy has been obtained to be (80.7-99) % with the analytical solution wherein its value has reached (81-97) % with Ncorr software

Sentimental classification analysis of polarity multi-view textual data using data mining techniques

The data and information available in most community environments is complex in nature. Sentimental data resources may possibly consist of textual data collected from multiple information sources with different representations and usually handled by different analytical models. These types of data resource characteristics can form multi-view polarity textual data. However, knowledge creation from this type of sentimental textual data requires considerable analytical efforts and capabilities. In particular, data mining practices can provide exceptional results in handling textual data formats. Besides, in the case of the textual data exists as multi-view or unstructured data formats, the hybrid and integrated analysis efforts of text data mining algorithms are vital to get helpful results. The objective of this research is to enhance the knowledge discovery from sentimental multi-view textual data which can be considered as unstructured data format to classify the polarity information documents in the form of two different categories or types of useful information. A proposed framework with integrated data mining algorithms has been discussed in this paper, which is achieved through the application of X-means algorithm for clustering and HotSpot algorithm of association rules. The analysis results have shown improved accuracies of classifying the sentimental multi-view textual data into two categories through the application of the proposed framework on online polarity user-reviews dataset upon a given topics

Mint Expert System Diagnosis and Treatment

Background: Mint is a grassy, perennial plant, belonging to the oral platoon, fast growing and spreading, its leaves are green in color, fragrant, tart, refreshing, square-shaped leg, bifurcated, erect, ranging in height from (10 - 201 cm). Home to Europe and Asia. The mint plant has many benefits, the most important of which are pain relief, treatment of gallbladder disorders, the expulsion of gases, anti-inflammatory, and relaxing nerves. While the mint plant is the ideal option for the start of gardens, it is prone to some common diseases that affect the plant's growth. Objectives: The main goal of this expert system is to get the appropriate diagnosis of disease and the correct treatment. Methods: In this paper, the design of the proposed Expert System was produced to help Farmers and those interested in agriculture in diagnosing many of the Mint diseases such as Mint rust, Verticillium wilt, Anthracnose, Powdery mildew, Black Stem Rot, Stem and stolon canker, Septoria leaf spot. The proposed expert system presents an overview of mint diseases are given, the cause of diseases outlined and the treatment of disease whenever possible is given out. CLIPS Expert System language was used for designing and implementing the proposed expert system. Results: The proposed Mint diseases diagnosis expert system was evaluated by Agricultural Students at AL Azhar University and some friends interested in agriculture and they were satisfied with its performance. Conclusions: The proposed expert system is very useful for Farmers and those interested in agriculture

Atom bond connectivity index of molecular graphs of alkenes and cycloalkenes

The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is one of the recently most investigated degree based molecular structure descriptors that have applications in chemistry. For a graph G, the ABC index is defined as ABC(G) = ∑ uv∈E(G) √[d v + du – 2]/[d v · d u ], where du denotes the degree of a vertex u in G. In this paper, we establish the general formulas for the atom bond connectivity index of molecular graphs of alkenes and cycloalkenes
