Computational Intelligence in Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Human Brain: The Classic-Curvature and the Intensity-Curvature Functional in a Tumor Case Study

By Carlo Ciulla Dijana Capeska Bogatinoska Filip A. Risteski Dimitar Veljanovski

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.01, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

This research solves the computational intelligence problem of devising two mathematical engineering tools called Classic-Curvature and Intensity-Curvature Functional. It is possible to calculate the two mathematical engineering tools from any model polynomial function which embeds the property of second-order differentiability. This work presents results obtained with bivariate and trivariate cubic Lagrange polynomials. The use of the Classic-Curvature and the Intensity-Curvature Functional can add complementary information in medical imaging, specifically in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the human brain.

Machine Learning and Software Quality Prediction: As an Expert System

By Ekbal A. Rashid Srikanta B. Patnaik Vandana C. Bhattacherjee

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.02, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

To improve the software quality the number of errors from the software must be removed. The research paper presents a study towards machine learning and software quality prediction as an expert system. The purpose of this paper is to apply the machine learning approaches, such as case-based reasoning, to predict software quality. The main objective of this research is to minimize software costs. Predict the error in software module correctly and use the results in future estimation. The novel idea behind this system is that Knowledge base (KBS) building is an important task in CBR and the knowledge base can be built based on world new problems along with world new solutions. Second, reducing the maintenance cost by removing the duplicate record set from the KBS. Third, error prediction with the help of similarity functions. In this research four similarity functions have been used and these are Euclidean, Manhattan, Canberra, and Exponential. We feel that case-based models are particularly useful when it is difficult to define actual rules about a problem domain. For this purpose we have developed a case-based reasoning model and have validated it upon student data. It was observed that, Euclidean and Exponential both are good for error calculation in comparison to Manhattan and Canberra after performing five experiments. In order to obtain a result we have used indigenous tool. For finding the mean and standard deviation, SPSS version 16 and for generating graphs MATLAB 7.10.0 version have been used as an analyzing tool.

New Contribution on Compression Color Images: Analysis and Synthesis for Telemedicine Applications

By Beladgham Mohammed Habchi Yassine Moulay Lakhdar Abdelmouneim Bassou Abdesselam Taleb-Ahmed Abdelmalik

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.03, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

The wavelets are a recent tool for signal processing analysis, for multiple time scale. It gives rise to many applications in various fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, telecommunications, imaging, and video coding. They are the basis of new analytical techniques and signal synthesis and some nice applications for general problems such as compression. This paper introduces an application for color medical image compression based on the wavelet transform coupled with SP?HT coding algorithm. In order to enhance the compression by this algorithm, we have compared the results obtained with wavelet transform application in natural, medical and satellite color image field. For this reason, we evaluated two parameters known for their calculation speed. The first parameter is the PSNR; the second is MSSIM (structural similarity).

Real Time Speaker Recognition System for Hindi Words

By Geeta Nijhawan M.K Soni

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.04, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

Real time speaker recognition is needed for various voice controlled applications. Background noise influences the overall efficiency of speaker recognition system and is still considered a challenge in Speaker Recognition System (SRS). In this paper MFCC feature is used along with VQLBG algorithm for designing SRS. A new approach for designing a Voice Activity Detector (VAD) has been proposed which can discriminate between silence and voice activity and this can significantly improve the performance of SRS under noisy conditions. MFCC feature is extracted from the input speech and then vector quantization of the extracted MFCC features is done using VQLBG algorithm. Speaker identification is done by comparing the features of a newly recorded voice with the database under a specific threshold using Euclidean distance approach. The entire processing is done using MATLAB tool.The experimental result shows that the proposed method gives good results.

Detecting Return Value Mismatch during Component Adaptation with Concern of System Performance

By Aisha Mohammed Alshiky M. Rizwan Jameel Qureshi

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.05, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

Component adaptation becomes a critical problem in component-based software engineering (CBSE). This problem appears during assembling and reusing of components into new system. The interoperability among components needs to use adaptation technique to solve this problem. Usually, there are mismatches between interfaces of reusable components. This research will focus on detecting fully semantic component interface mismatch by proposing a solution including return value match next to other match such as operation name, method of operation and parameter type match. This research just explains return value mismatch that are not considered in other solutions. The proposed solution also concerns about system performance that is neglected in previous solutions by proposing a ‘Detector’ tool that is responsible to assign and delete unwanted functions from reusable component before integration.

Design Intelligent PID like Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller for Spherical Motor

By Farzin Matin Farzin Piltan Hamid Cheraghi Nasim Sobhani Maryam Rahmani

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.07, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

The minimum rule base Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) with application to spherical motor is presented in this research. The popularity of PID Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller can be attributed to their robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions and partly to their functional simplicity. The process of setting of PID Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller can be determined as an optimization task. Over the years, use of intelligent strategies for tuning of these controllers has been growing especially in nonlinear and uncertain systems. Proportional Integral Derivative methodology has three inputs and if any input is described with seven linguistic values, and any rule has three conditions, we will need 343 rules. It is too much work to write 343 rules and have lots of problem to design embedded control system e.g., Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). In this research the PID-like fuzzy controller can be constructed as a parallel structure of a PD-like fuzzy controller and a conventional PI controller to have the minimum rule base and good trajectory follow disturbance to control of spherical motor. However Sliding Mode Controller is work based on cancelling decoupling and nonlinear terms of dynamic parameters for each direction of three degree of freedom spherical motor, this controller is work based on motor dynamic model and this technique is highly sensitive to the knowledge of all parameters of nonlinear spherical motor’s dynamic equation which caused to challenge in uncertain system. This research is used to reduce or eliminate the Sliding Mode Controller problem based on minimum rule base fuzzy logic theory to control of three degrees of freedom spherical motor system and testing of the quality of process control in the simulation environment of MATLAB/SIMULINK Simulator.

By Saurabh Manro

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2014.02.08, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2014

The aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed theorem for four mappings under weakly compatible condition in fuzzy metric space. While proving our results we utilize the idea of weakly compatible maps due to Jungck and Rhoades. Our results substantially generalize and improve a multitude of relevant common fixed point theorems of the existing literature in metric as well as fuzzy metric space.
