Image analysis implementation for evaluation of external potato damage

In recent years, with the popularity of the Internet, digital media has become an indispensable part of people's life. Image acquisition equipment is widely used in daily life and work. However, due to technical problems, it can not meet the performance requirements of users. At the same time, a large number of data and information are difficult to be effectively processed, which also reduces the image quality, reduces the storage space and increases the image distortion. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new algorithms to improve these defects. Therefore, this paper designs and develops an automatic digital media image recognition system based on mean clustering algorithm. Firstly, this paper describes the concept and characteristics of digital media. Then, this paper also studies the application of mean clustering algorithm. Based on this, an automatic digital media image recognition system is designed, and the performance of the system is tested by simulation. Finally, the test results show that the algorithm can accurately identify media images. In general, the performance of the digital media image automatic recognition system based on mean clustering algorithm can meet the needs of target users.

The guided-wave-based damage detection methodology is a well-established branch of Structural Health Monitoring. There are, however, many different approaches to processing and interpretation of signals acquired using guided waves. This paper presents the results of the SYPIN project in which a large database acquired in a diverse set of experiments was assembled. The experiments included static and variable environmental conditions, composite and metallic specimens of simple and complex geometries. The set includes, in particular, results of experiments on real-life aircraft specimens. This dataset was then used to benchmark several damage detection and quantification methodologies, including various classifiers and feature extraction methods. The performance of the methods is evaluated in a series of experiments, including knowledge transfer between different specimens. The paper presents the results of this research and provides a brief description of the dataset, which is made available for the scientific community’s use.KeywordsGuided wavesBenchmarkClassificationSignal processingAircraft

With the increasing improvement of living standards, healthy long-distance running has become one of the current ways of aerobic physical exercise. Long-distance running is beneficial to many bodily functions such as neck, spine, and heart, but inappropriate long-distance running can easily damage the joints of the human body. In order to make more fitness athletes run with a healthy and reasonable posture, this paper studies the automatic recognition and correction system of running movements based on computer vision technology. Based on the analysis of human motion detection methods and human motion recognition methods, an automatic recognition and correction system for running actions is designed. In order to understand the accuracy of the system in the recognition of wrong actions, this paper compares the designed system with the traditional system. The results show that the system designed in this paper has good accuracy and can control the deviation within a reasonable range.

Our goal is to extract meaningful information item from the scanned image, such as "holder-name", "title", "address", etc. The automatic recognition task is divided into three stages: 1) document geometrical layout analysis; 2) bilingual character recognition; 3) text understanding and information extraction. The final results of this system are stored in database for later use. The whole system has been tested with card images scanned at 400 dpi and results are reported.

An automatic microscope image acquisition, evaluation, and recognition system was developed for the analysis of Utermöhl plankton chambers in terms of taxonomic algae recognition. The system called PLASA (Plankton Structure Analysis) comprises (1) fully automatic archiving (optical fixation) of aqueous specimens as digital bright field and fluorescence images, (2) phytoplankton analysis and recognition, and (3) training facilities for new taxa. It enables characterization of aqueous specimens by their populations. The system is described in detail with emphasis on image analytical aspects. Plankton chambers are scanned by sizable grids, divers objective(s), and up to four fluorescence spectral bands. Acquisition positions are focused and digitized by a TV camera and archived on disk. The image data sets are evaluated by a large set of quantitative features. Automatic classifications for a number of organisms are developed and embedded in the program. Interactive programs for the design of training sets were additionally implemented. A long-term sampling period of 23 weeks from two ponds at two different locations each was performed to generate a reliable data set for training and testing purposes. These data were used to present this system's results for phytoplankton structure characterization. PLASA represents an automatic system, comprising all steps from specimen processing to algae identification up to species level and quantification.

This paper presents an automatic fruit recognition system for classifying and identifying fruit types. The work exploits the fruit shape and color, to identify each image feature. The proposed system includes three phases namely: pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification phases. In the pre-processing phase, fruit images are resized to 90 x 90 pixels in order to reduce their color index. In feature extraction phase, the proposed system uses scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) and shape and color features to generate a feature vector for each image in the dataset. For classification phase, the proposed model applies K-Nearest Neighborhood (K-NN) algorithm classification, and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm of different kinds of fruits. A series of experiments were carried out using the proposed model on a dataset of 178 fruit images. The results of carrying out these experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach is capable of automatically recognize the fruit name with a high degree of accuracy.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) research includes computer vision, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition. Character recognition has garnered a lot of attention in the last decade due to its broad variety of uses and applications, including multiple-choice test data, business documents (e.g., ID cards, bank notes, passports, etc.), and automatic number plate recognition. This paper introduces an automatic recognition system for printed numerals. The automatic reading system is based on extracting local statistical and geometrical features from the text image. Those features are represented by eight vectors extracted from each digit. Two of these features are local statistical (A, A th), and six are local geometrical (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6). Thus, the database created consists of 1120 statistical and geometrical features. For the purpose of recognition, the features of the test image are compared with the features of all the images saved in the database depending on the value of the Minimum Distance (MD). All digits (0–9) were identified with 100% accuracy. The average computational time required to recognize a numeral at any font size is 0.06879 seconds.

Human perception of sign language can serve as inspiration for the improvement of automatic recognition systems. Experiments with human signers show that sign language signs contain redundancy over time. In this article, experiments are conducted to investigate whether comparable redundancies also exist for an automatic sign language recognition system. Such redundancies could be exploited, for example, by reserving more processing resources for the more informative phases of a sign, or by discarding uninformative phases. In the experiments, an automatic system is trained and tested on isolated fragments of sign language signs. The stimuli used were similar to those of the human signer experiments, allowing us to compare the results. The experiments show that redundancy over time exists for the automatic recognizer. The central phase of a sign is the most informative phase, and the first half of a sign is sufficient to achieve a recognition performance similar to that of the entire sign. These findings concur with the results of the human signer studies. However, there are differences as well, most notably the fact that human signers score better on the early phases of a sign than the automatic system. The results can be used to improve the automatic recognizer, by using only the most informative phases of a sign as input.

The challenge of container code localization and recognition is that the code varies in size, position, and arrangements according to the container style and environmental changes. This paper proposes an automatic container code localization and recognition system via an efficient code detector and a sequence recognizer. The code detector locates text features on the backend of the container and extracts the code through segmentation, which increases the stability of code localization. The proposed recognition algorithm regards the code as three separate sequences and recognizes them through a recurrentconvolutional neural network to improve efficiency and accuracy. To verify the validity, a test dataset is established containing about 700 high-resolution images and over 2000 gray-scale code patches. The proposed code localization and recognition algorithm is verified on the dataset in experiments and achieves overall accuracy of 93.98% at about 0.1s per-frame.

<span lang="EN-US">Current Automatic Speaker Recognition (ASR) System has emerged as an important medium of confirmation of identity in many businesses, ecommerce applications, forensics and law enforcement as well. Specialists trained in criminological recognition can play out this undertaking far superior by looking at an arrangement of acoustic, prosodic, and semantic attributes which has been referred to as structured listening. An algorithmbased system has been developed in the recognition of forensic speakers by physics scientists and forensic linguists to reduce the probability of a contextual bias or pre-centric understanding of a reference model with the validity of an unknown audio sample and any suspicious individual. Many researchers are continuing to develop automatic algorithms in signal processing and machine learning so that improving performance can effectively introduce the speaker’s identity, where the automatic system performs equally with the human audience. In this paper, I examine the literature about the identification of speakers by machines and humans, emphasizing the key technical speaker pattern emerging for the automatic technology in the last decade. I focus on many aspects of automatic speaker recognition (ASR) systems, including speaker-specific features, speaker models, standard assessment data sets, and performance metrics</span>

Advances in optic fiber sensing technology provide easy and reliable way for the vibration-based strain measurement of engineering structures. As a typical optic fiber sensing techniques with high accuracy and resolution, long-gauge Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors have been widely employed in health monitoring of civil engineering structures. Therefore, the development of macro strain-based identification methods is crucial for damage detection and structural condition evaluation. In the previous study by the authors, a damage detection algorithm for a beam structure with the direct use of vibration-based macro-strain measurement time history with neural networks had been proposed and validated with experimental measurements. In this paper, a damage locating and quantifying method was proposed using modal macrostrain vectors (MMSVs) which can be extracted from vibration induced macro-strain response measurement time series from long-gage FBG sensors. The performance of the proposed methodology for damage detection of a beam with different damage scenario was studied with numerical simulation firstly. Then, dynamic tests on a simply-supported steel beam with different damage scenarios were carried out and macro-strain measurements were employed to detect the damage severity. Results show that the proposed MMSV based structural identification and damage detection methodology can locate and identify the structural damage severity with acceptable accuracy.
