Abstract: Ornamental letters can be defined as letter characters that are decorated through the addition of symbolic ornaments that might affect the meaning of the word. The accuracy of the recognition of ornamental letters generally decreased due to various things, such as unrecognized type of letters due to lack of detected keypoints, keypoint's position errors on the remaining letter ornament, different letter character forms from the data and the letter that is distorted by scale and rotation. The problem can be solved using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) method combined with Hexagonal Pixel. SIFT method can produce features that are not affected by scale, translation, or rotation changes in objects. While the Hexagonal Pixel method is performed by changing the shape of pixels from square to hexagonal. The combination of SIFT and Hexagonal Pixel method proved that the number of keypoints increased by 50%, and the accuracy increased by 10%, comparing to the results using the SIFT basic method.

Abstract:Boundary iterative-deepening depth-first search (BIDDFS) developed by [1] is used to allow searching from the starting node and the goal node simultaneously, yielding higher pathfinding efficiencies. It is based on the idea that faster pathfinding will result if the search expansions of a pathfinding algorithm is to be performed from both the starting node and goal node concurrently, due to the resulting expansion area being smaller than that of a unidirectional search. Hence, bidirectional search will also lead to a reduction of memory footprint. Experiments in [1] showed that the proposed algorithm was able to record drastic improvements in pathfinding speeds compared to the standard BIDDFS. Likewise, the fast bidirectional BIDDFS recorded significant speed improvements over the parallel bidirectional BIDDFS. In this paper, the cyclomatic behavior of the algorithm presented in [1] is described. It is shown that the cyclomatic analysis of the algorithm shows that the algorithm is simple and doesn’t contain much risk..

Abstract: Nowadays, the web is playing a significant role in delivering information to users' fingertips. A web page can be localized by a fixed url, and displays the page content as time-varying snapshot. Among the common web behaviors, web revisitation is to re-find the previously viewed web pages, not only the page url, but also the page snapshot at that access timestamp. A 6-week user study with 23 participants showed nearly 58% of web access belonged to web revisitation. Another 1-year user study involving 114 participants revealed around 40% of queries were re-finding requests. According to, on average, every second page loaded was already visited before by the same user, and the ratio of revisited pages among all visits ranges between 20% and 72%.. In this paper

Abstract: In many Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, sensors are spatially distributed in a finite area so as to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as pressure, humidity, temperature, etc. and also to transmit the sensed data to a base station cooperatively. In addition, at times, a set of target points has to be monitored in a given area. On the one hand, to provide a deterministic quality of service guarantees, every point of interest should be monitored by at least one sensor at all times. On the other hand, the energy consumption of sensors should be minimized since in most cases sensors are battery powered. Therefore sensors should have their power supplies turned off when they are not in use top reserve energy. Due to this limitation, a critical issue becomes how..........

Abstract: Image processing techniques are mostly useful in medical science for detecting various diseases , infections , tumors , cells abnormalities , and various cancers . To detect a particular disease and curing it on time is very important in todays world for saving life . Mostly when patient is serious, and the waiting time of patients reports is more in case of blood test . The time taken for generation of any blood report is minimum 1 hour and this can be risk. The system which is being used currently by the doctors for identification of the blood samples is costly and even generation of the reports takes time which leads to loss of patients life . Also , the pathological tests expensive , which are sometimes not affortable by the patient. This paper basically tells us the technique to detect the normal and abnormal red blood cells in comparitively less time. The proposed technique also shows different categories of abnormal red blood cells based on the Signature Method..

Abstract: Classification is the process of supervised learning process, which is an important task in pattern recognition. Imbalanced class distribution is always a trouble in achieving high accurate classification. The imbalanced data is more complicated for the medical data classification. There are several algorithms and techniques have been used to overcome the class imbalance issues. However, the techniques can be either insufficient nor leads to misclassification for medical datasets. To overcome the issue of class imbalance in the medical data classification, an effective adaptive sampling technique is proposed. The technique is named as Ranked Cluster Based Adaptive Sampling with Gradient Boosting classifier (RCBAS-GBC). The technique is quite adequate for medical datasets. The experiments are carried with several unbalanced datasets and achieved good results...

Abstract:It is attractive to be able to alter the coding rate, and hence the error correcting power, of a forward error correcting coder/decoder (codec) to provide a codec whose error correction capability can be matched to the requirements of the data communication system in which it is used. Punctured coding applied to convolutional encoding/Viterbi decoding offers a method of achieving this. And adoptive multi beam-forming alongside with MIMO diversity gain is used for considerable QOS enhancement in their Open Network Intermediate Data Rate system. This paper discusses the modification of a QoS constraint length 7, 1/2-rate codec to operate with punctured coding at rates up to 7/8. Following a brief discussion of the requirements for variable rate coding in communication systems the practical implementation of a prototype codec and considerations relating to performance characterization are discussed. Experimental results at various coding rates and MIMO are given, together with simulation of performance to demonstrate the sensitivity of performance to path history length at higher coding rates. It is concluded that the method is very suitable to provide variable coding rates and not suffers from increasingly severe practical limitations over high speed networks.
