Performance Comparison of Kalman Filter and Mean Shift Algorithm for Object Tracking
Статья научная
Object tracking is one of the important tasks in the field of computer vision. Some of the areas which need Visual object tracking are surveillance, automated video analysis, etc. Mean shift algorithm is one of the popular techniques for this task and is advantageous when compared to some of the other tracking methods. But this method would not be appropriate in the case of large target appearance changes and occlusion. In addition, this method fails when the object is under the action of non-linear forces like that of the gravity e.g. a ball falling under the action of gravity. Another popular method used for tracking is the one that uses Kalman filter, with measurements (often noisy) of position of object to be tracked as input to it. This paper is based on a simulative comparison of both of these algorithms which will give a proper outline of which method will be more appropriate for object tracking, given the nature of motion of object and type of surroundings. Observations based on these methods are present in the literature but there is no evidence based on implementation of these algorithms that shows a quantitative comparison of the said algorithms.

Performance Evaluation of Bagged RBF Classifier for Data Mining Applications
Статья научная
Data mining is the use of algorithms to extract the information and patterns derived by the knowledge discovery in databases process. Classification maps data into predefined groups or classes. It is often referred to as supervised learning because the classes are determined before examining the data. The feasibility and the benefits of the proposed approaches are demonstrated by the means of data mining applications like intrusion detection, direct marketing, and signature verification. A variety of techniques have been employed for analysis ranging from traditional statistical methods to data mining approaches. Bagging and boosting are two relatively new but popular methods for producing ensembles. In this work, bagging is evaluated on real and benchmark data sets of intrusion detection, direct marketing, and signature verification in conjunction with radial basis function classifier as the base learner. The proposed bagged radial basis function is superior to individual approach for data mining applications in terms of classification accuracy.

This paper analyzes the performance of hybrid gigabit passive optical network (GPON) and wireless communication (FSO) system using EDFA and EYDWA as pre-amplification configuration to compensate the losses due to the fiber cable and the free space channel for 2.5 Gb/s of data. The performance for both amplifiers has been compared on the basis of distance, FSO range and number of users, however the results of simulation show enhancement offered by EYDWA as compared as EDFA amplifier. This amplifier was able to reach transmission distance over 245 Km optical fiber and 1Km range FSO with best BER value around 10-9 and good eye diagram. Whereas, the fiber distance has been limited to 64 Km by using EDFA amplifier.

Phylogenetic Method for High-Throughput Ortholog Detection
Статья научная
Accurate detection of orthologous proteins is a key aspect of comparative genomics. Orthologs in different species can be used to predict the function of uncontrived genes from model organisms as they retain the same biological function through the path of evolution. Orthologs can be inferred using phylogenetic, pair-wise similarity or synteny based methods. The study here describes a computational method for detecting orthologs of a protein. A phylogenetic tree based approach is used for identification of orthologous proteins. A Combination of species overlap algorithm and patristic distances is used for detecting orthologs of a protein from a set of FASTA sequences. Patristic distances have been used to drill the orthology predictions of any protein down to its closest orthologs. The approach gives a considerably good accuracy and has high specificity and precision. The use of Distance threshold allows controlling the stringency level of predictions so that the closeness and proximity between the protein of interest and its orthologs can be adjusted.

A novel lumped-parameter model is proposed to help with establish practice criteria of decompressive craniectomy and explain post-craniectomy intracranial dynamics. Besides traditional four major parts of arterial and venous blood, cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue, another compartment produced by secondary intracranial hypertension is included here. The elliptical deflection solution under uniformly distributed pressure is introduced to compute the craniectomy compartment volume and incorporate it into existing differential equations. Under particular pathology in this paper our model predicts the waveform of post-craniectomy intracranial pressure, which measures the clinical effectiveness of such an operation. Then a statistical model—Gaussian fitting model is used to fit our simulation data. This quantitative model provides a possible way to designate the operation criteria such as the size of decompressive craniectomy. Finally we propose the optimal interval of craniectomy size as from 100 to 300 square centimeters and that larger than 400 square centimeters would not obviously reinforce pressure reduction anymore.

A modern technology used for extracting knowledge from a huge amount of data using different models and tasks such as prediction and description is called data mining. The data mining approach has a great contribution on solving a different problem for data miners. This paper focuses on the application of data mining in health centers using different models. The model development process helps to identify or predict the behavior of blood donors whether they are eligible or ineligible to donate blood by their right status way and protects any blood bank health center from the collection of unsafe blood. Classification techniques are used for the analysis of Blood bank datasets in this study. For continuous blood donors, it will help to enable to donate voluntary individuals and organizations systematically. J48 decision tree, neural network as well as naïve Bays algorithms have been implemented in Weka to analyze the dataset of blood donors. The study is used to classify the blood donor's eligibility or ineligibility status based on their genders, deferral time, weight, age, body priced, tattoos, HIV AIDS, blood pressure, donation frequency, hepatitis, illegal drug use attributes. From the 11 attributes, gender does not affect the result. We have used 1502 datasets for the train set and 100 datasets for testing the model using cross-fold validation. Cross-fold data, partition was used in this study. The efficiency and effectiveness of the algorisms are measured automatically by the system. The obtained result showed that the J48 classifier outperforms the best result as well as both neural network and navies, Bayes, in terms of matrix evolution, with its 97.5% overall model accuracy has offered interesting rules.

Preparing Mammograms for Classification Task: Processing and Analysis of Mammograms
Статья научная
Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women in the world. Mammography has become indispensable for early detection of breast cancer. Radiologists interpret patients' mammograms by looking for some significant visual features for decision making. These features could have different interpretations based on expert's opinion and experience. Therefore, to solve the problem of different interpretations among experts, the use of computer in facilitating the processing and analysis of mammograms has become necessary. This study enhanced and segmented suspicious areas on mammograms obtained from Radiology Department, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Also, Features were extracted from the segmented region of interests in order to prepare them for classification task. The result of implementation of enhancement algorithm used on mammograms shows all the subtle and obscure regions thereby making suspicious regions well visible which in turn helps in isolating the regions for extraction of textural features from them. Also, the result of the feature extraction shows pattern that will enable a classifier to classify these mammograms to one of normal, benign and malignant classes.

In early 2020, the world was shocked by the outbreak of COVID-19. World Health Organization (WHO) urged people to stay indoors to avoid the risk of infection. Thus, more people started to shop online, significantly increasing the number of e-commerce users. After some time, users noticed that a few irresponsible online retailers misled customers by hiking product prices before and during the sale, then applying huge discounts. Unfortunately, the “discounted” prices were found to be similar or only slightly lower than standard pricing. This problem occurs because users were unable to monitor product pricing due to time restrictions. This study proposes a Web application named PriceCop to help customers’ monitor product pricing. PriceCop is a significant application because it offers price prediction features to help users analyse product pricing within the next day; thus, it can help users to plan before making purchases. The price prediction model is developed by using Linear Regression (LR) technique. LR is commonly used to determine outcomes and used as predictors. Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) are used as a comparison to evaluate the accuracy of the LR technique. LSSVM-ABC was initially proposed for stock market price predictions. The results show the accuracy of pricing prediction using LSSVM-ABC is 84%, while it is 62% when LR is employed. ABC is integrated into SVM to optimize the solution and is responsible for the best solution in every iteration. Even though LSSVM-ABC predicts product pricing more accurately than LR, this technique is best trained using at least a year’s worth of product prices, and the data is limited for this purpose. In the future, the dataset can be collected daily and trained for accuracy.

Proposal of Enhanced Extreme Programming Model
Статья научная
Extreme programming is one of the commonly used agile methodologies in software development. It is very responsive to changing requirements even in the late phases of the project. However, quality activities in extreme programming phases are implemented sequentially along with the activities that work on the functional requirements. This reduces the agility to deliver increments continuously and makes an inverse relationship between quality and agility. Due to this relationship, extreme programming does not consume enough time on making extensive documentation and robust design. To overcome these issues, an enhanced extreme programming model is proposed. Enhanced extreme programming introduces parallelism in the activities' execution through putting quality activities into a separate execution line. In this way, the focus on delivering increments quickly is achieved without affecting the quality of the final output. In enhanced extreme programming, the quality concept is extended to include refinement of all phases of classical extreme programming and creating architectural design based on the refined design documents.

Proposal to Decrease Code Defects to Improve Software Quality
Статья научная
Software quality is an important topic of software development and it is always challenging to deliver high-quality software. The major challenges, to complete the software, are time and cost without losing the software quality. Software quality has a significant impact on software performance. The acceptability, success, and failure of software are depending on its level of quality and number of defects. Software defects are one of the fundamental factors that can determine the time of software delivery. In addition, defects or errors need to be eliminated before software delivery. Software companies spend a lot to reduce code defects. The aim is to detect defects early with cheaper methods. This paper proposes a code quality scanner to decrease the code defects. The proposed solution is a combination of code scanner and code review. Moreover, the paper presents results using quantitative analysis to show the effectiveness of the proposed solution. The results are found encouraging.

Quantum Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Solving Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch Problem
Статья научная
This paper presents a quantum behaved particle swarm algorithm for solving the multi-objective reactive power dispatch problem .Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based swarm intellect algorithm that share various similarities with evolutionary computation methods. Yet, PSO is determined by the imitation of a societal psychosomatic metaphor aggravated by cooperative behaviours of bird and other societal organisms instead of, the endurance of the fittest individual. Stimulated by the traditional PSO method and quantum procedure theories, this work presents a new Quantum behaved PSO (QPSO). The simulation results reveal high-quality performance of the QPSO in solving an optimal reactive power dispatch problem. In order to appraise the proposed algorithm, it has been tested on IEEE 30 bus system and compared to other algorithms.

Queuing Effect on Multipath Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Статья научная
In Mobile Ad Hoc Network, data delivery is very challenging through single path due to dynamic changes in the network topology. To cope up this issue multipath data delivery is very useful. Recently, many works have been carried out in this domain but few are addressing the queueing effect on multipath scenarios. In this paper, we have designed a network model that based on the existence of multipath between source and destination node and every node behave as M/M/1 queue. In order to do this we generate K (K=1, 2, 3…i) paths are available between each source toward the destination node. The traffic arrivals in each node follow poisson process with arrival rate λ packets/sec. The simulation work of this multipath scenario based on varying mean inter-arrival time. The effect of arrival rate on the performance of multipath network model is analysed and compared. To better understand the effect of arrival rate in application and network layer various QoS metrics are computed. Significant performance of individual node is noticed in the obtained results with various arrival rates.

Статья научная
With the advent of dynamic website usually all business processes of a business organization are linked with the website of the organization. This is resulted in designing of a complex and gigantic website which may result in slow download and unfriendly navigation. Satisfying the end user need is one of the key principles of designing an effective website. As there are different users for given website, hence there are different criteria on which user wants to get satisfied, hence evaluating a website is a multi-criteria decision making problem. In order to incorporate uncertainties and vagueness in decision making Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy (FAHP) approach is extended with Fuzzy TOPSIS approach, where different decision makers (DM's) opinion was considered for ranking the website.
