This document summarizes a project that used a Naive Bayes classifier to classify images of handwritten digits. The project involved extracting features from training data, calculating parameters for the classifier based on those features, classifying test images, and determining classification accuracy. Key steps included finding the mean and standard deviation of pixel brightness values for each image, determining probability distributions of features for each digit class, and comparing probabilities to classify test images. The classifier achieved around 90% accuracy on both digit classes. Completing the project improved the author's understanding of concepts like Gaussian distributions and how Naive Bayes classification works.
This document discusses classifying handwritten digits using the MNIST dataset with a simple linear machine learning model. It begins by introducing the MNIST dataset of images and corresponding labels. It then discusses using a linear model with weights and biases to make predictions for each image. The weights represent a filter to distinguish digits. The model is trained using gradient descent to minimize the cross-entropy cost function by adjusting the weights and biases based on batches of training data. The goal is to improve the model's ability to correctly classify handwritten digit images.
The document discusses content-based image retrieval (CBIR) which involves retrieving desired images from a large collection based on automatically extracted visual features like color, texture, and shape. It describes using exact Legendre moments to represent images and support vector machines (SVM) to classify images. The algorithm trains each class independently against other classes and constructs hyperplanes to classify new images based on which planes an image's features satisfy. The method achieved over 96% accuracy on a database with features up to order 5 and 18 training images per class.

In this project we have implemented a tool to inpaint selected regions from an image. Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information. The tool provides a user interface wherein the user can open an image for inpainting, select the parts
of the image that he wants to reconstruct. The tool would then automatically inpaint the selected area according to the background information. The image can
then be saved. The inpainting in based on the exemplar based approach. The basic aim of this approach is to find examples (i.e. patches) from the image and
replace the lost data with it. Applications of this technique include the restoration of old photographs and damaged film; removal of superimposed text like
dates, subtitles etc.; and the removal of entire objects from the image like microphones or wires in special effects.
Object Shape Representation by Kernel Density Feature Points Estimator cscpconf
This paper introduces an object shape representation using Kernel Density Feature Points
Estimator (KDFPE). In this method we obtain the density of feature points within defined rings

image representation shows improved retrieval rate when compared to Density Histogram
Feature Points (DHFP) method. Analytic analysis is done to justify our method and we compared our results with object shape representation by the Density Histogram of Feature Points (DHFP) to prove its robustness.

An Approach for Image Deblurring: Based on Sparse Representation and Regulari...IRJET Journal
This document proposes an approach for image deblurring based on sparse representation and a regularized filter. The approach splits the blurred input image into patches, estimates sparse coefficients for each patch using dictionary learning, updates the dictionary, and estimates the deblur kernel. The deblur kernel is applied using Wiener deconvolution and further processed with a regularized filter to recover the original image. The approach was tested on MATLAB and evaluation metrics like RMSE, PSNR, and SSIM along with visual analysis showed it performed better deblurring compared to existing methods.
This document describes a project to calibrate a camera using a calibration rig. Intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters were calculated. Image and world coordinates of points on the calibration rig were collected. A projection matrix was calculated from the coordinates and used to determine the intrinsic parameters like focal length and extrinsic parameters like rotation and translation. The estimated image coordinates from the projection matrix were compared to measured coordinates to calculate errors, which improved when more points were used.

The model can generate synthetic images and interpret new images by iteratively adjusting parameters to minimize differences between the input and generated images. The presenter shows the model can successfully converge and interpret images if initial parameter estimates are reasonable.

Basic group of visual techniques such as color, shape, texture are used in Content Based Image Retrievals (CBIR) to retrieve query image or sub region of image to find similar images in image database. To improve query result, relevance feedback is used many times in CBIR to help user to express their preference and improve query results. In this paper, a new approach for image retrieval is proposed which is based on the features such as Color Histogram, Eigen Values and Match Point. Images from various types of database are first identified by using edge detection techniques .Once the image is identified, then the image is searched in the particular database, then all related images are displayed. This will save the retrieval time. Further to retrieve the precise query image, any of the three techniques are used and comparison is done w.r.t. average retrieval time. Eigen value technique found to be the best as compared with other two techniques.

IRJET- 3D Vision System using Calibrated Stereo CameraIRJET Journal
This document describes a 3D vision system that uses calibrated stereo cameras to estimate the depth of objects. It discusses using two digital cameras placed at different positions to capture images of the same object. Feature matching and disparity calculation algorithms are used to calculate depth based on the difference between images. The cameras are calibrated using camera parameters derived from images of a checkerboard pattern. Trigonometry formulas are then used to calculate depth based on the camera positions and disparity. A servo system is used to independently and synchronously move the cameras along the x and y axes to capture views of objects from different angles.

This document presents an approach for image deblurring based on sparse representation and a regularized filter. The approach involves splitting the blurred input image into patches, estimating sparse coefficients for each patch, learning dictionaries from the coefficients, and merging the patches. The merged patches are subtracted from the blurred image to obtain the deblur kernel. Wiener deconvolution with the kernel is then applied and followed by a regularized filter to recover the original image without blurring. The approach was tested on MATLAB and evaluation metrics like RMSE, PSNR, and SSIM showed it performed better than existing methods, recovering images with more details and contrast.

Finally, the implementation of some techniques using MATLAB is demonstrated, including generating and plotting histograms, regular and adaptive histogram equalization. Results are shown through images and histograms. The document concludes that histogram equalization is generally more powerful than other methods at improving image contrast and appearance.

The document discusses methods for obtaining a background image using depth information from a depth camera to more accurately extract foreground objects. It finds that accumulating depth images and taking the median value at each pixel provides the most accurate background image. The accuracy of three methods - average, median, and mode - are evaluated using simulated depth data of a captured plane. The median method provides the best results, followed by average, while mode performs worst. More accumulated images provide a more accurate background image across all methods.

METHOD FOR A SIMPLE ENCRYPTION OF IMAGES BASED ON THE CHAOTIC MAP OF BERNOULLIijcsit
In this document, we propose a simple algorithm for the encryption of gray-scale images, although the
scheme is perfectly usable in color images. Prior to encryption, the proposed algorithm includes a pair of
permutation processes, inspired by the Bernoulli mapping. The permutation disperses the image
information to hinder the unauthorized recovery of the original image. The image is encrypted using the
XOR function between a sequence generated from the same Bernoulli mapping and the image data,
obtained after two permutation processes. Finally, for the verification of the algorithm, the gray-scale Lena
pattern image was used; calculating histograms for each stage alongside of the encryption process. The
histograms prove dispersion evolution for pattern image during whole algorithm.

XOR function between a sequence generated from the same Bernoulli mapping and the image data,
obtained after two permutation processes. Finally, for the verification of the algorithm, the gray-scale Lena
pattern image was used; calculating histograms for each stage alongside of the encryption process. The
histograms prove dispersion evolution for pattern image during whole algorithm.

Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products,.docxCruzIbarra161
Bullzeye is a discount retailer offering a wide range of products, including: home goods, clothing, toys, and food. The company is a regional retailer with 10 brick-and-mortar stores as well as a popular online store. Due to the recent credit card data breaches of various prominent national retail companies (e.g., Target, Home Depot, Staples), the Bullzeye Board of Directors has taken particular interest in information security, especially as it pertains to the protection of credit cardholder data within the Bullzeye environment. The Board has asked executive management to evaluate and strengthen the enterprise’s information security infrastructure, where needed.
In order to respond to the Board regarding their preparedness for a cyber-security attack, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has engaged your IT consulting firm to identify the inherent risks and recommend control remediation strategies to prevent or to detect and appropriately respond to data breaches. Your firm has been requested to liaison with the Internal Audit Department during the engagement. Your first step is to gain an understanding of Bullzeye’s IT environment. The Chief Audit Executive (CAE) schedules a meeting with key Bullzeye leadership personnel, including the CFO, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The following key information was obtained.
Background
IT Security Framework/Policy -
Bullzeye has an information security policy, which was developed by the CISO. The policy was developed in response to an internal audit conducted by an external firm hired by the CAE. The policy is not based on one specific IT control framework but considers elements contained within several frameworks. An information security committee has been recently formed to discuss new security risks and to develop mitigation strategies.
The meeting will be held monthly and include the CISO and other key IT Directors reporting to the CIO.
In addition, a training program was implemented last year in order to provide education on various information security topics (e.g., social engineering, malware, etc.). The program requires that all staff within the IT department complete an annual information security training webinar and corresponding quiz. The training program is complemented by a monthly e-mail sent to IT staff, which highlights relevant information security topics.
General IT Environment -
Most employees in the corporate office are assigned a standard desktop computer, although certain management personnel in the corporate and retail locations are issued a laptop if they can demonstrate their need to work remotely. The laptops are given a standard Microsoft Windows operating system image, which includes anti-malware/anti-virus software and patch update software among others. In addition, new laptops are now encrypted; however, desktops and existing laptops are not currently encrypted due to budget concerns. The user provisioning.

This project practiced the use of density estimation
2. through several calculations via the Naïve Bayes Classifier.
The data for each equation was used to find the probability of
the mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first
feature, the mean, could be calculated using the equation in
Fig. 1. The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()digit 0 or digit 1. The
test images were then classified based on the previous
calculations and the accuracy of the computations were
determined.
The project consisted of 4 tasks:
A. Extract features from the original training set
There were two features that needed to be extracted from
the original training set for each image. The first feature was
the average pixel brightness values within an image array.
The second was the standard deviation of all pixel
brightness values within an image array.
B. Calculate the parameters for the two-class Naïve Bayes
Classifiers
Using the features extracted from task A, multiple
calculations needed to be performed. For the training set
involving digit 0, the mean of all the average brightness
values was calculated. The variance was then calculated for
the same feature, regarding digit 0. Next, the mean of the
standard deviations involving digit 0 had to be computed. In
addition, the variance for the same feature was determined.
These four calculations had to then be repeated using the
training set for digit 1.
C. Classify all unknown labels of incoming data
3. Using the parameters obtained in task B, every image in
each testing sample had to be compared with the
corresponding training set for that particular digit, 0 or 1.
The probability of that image being a 0 or 1 needed to be
determined so it can then be classified.
D. Calculate the accuracy of the classifications
Using the predicted classifications from task C, the
accuracy of the predictions needed to be calculated for both
digit 0 and digit 1, respectively.
Each equation was used to find the probability of the
mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first feature,
the mean, could be calculated using the equation in Fig. 1.
The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()of the data. These
features helped formulate the probability density function
when determining the classification.
II. DESCRIPTION OF SOLUTION
This project required a series of computations in order to
successfully equation was used to find the probability of the
mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first feature,
the mean, could be calculated using the equation in Fig. 1.
The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean(). Once acquiring the
data, the appropriate calculations could be made.
4. A. Finding the mean and standard deviation
The data was provided in the form of NumPy arrays,
which made it useful for performing routine mathematical
operations equation was used to find the probability of the
mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first feature,
the mean, could be calculated using the equation in Fig. 1.
The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()by calling
‘numpy.std()’, another useful NumPy function. These
extracted features from the training set for digit 0 also had to
be evaluated from the training set for digit 1. Once all the
features for each image were obtained from both training
sets, the next task could be completed.
Equ. 1. Mean formula
B. Determining the parameters for the Naïve Bayes
Classifiers
To equation was used to find the probability of the mean
for. Without using a built-in function, the first feature, the
mean, could be calculated using the equation in Fig. 1. The
second feature, the standard deviation, could be calculated
using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training set for
digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean() and the array of the
standard deviations created for digit 1.
5. Equ. 2. Variance formula
This equation was used to find the probability of the
mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first feature,
the mean, could be calculated using the equation in Fig. 1.
The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()’ for each image in the
set. In addition, the standard deviation of the pixel
brightness values was calculated for each image by calling
‘numpy.std()’, another useful NumPy function. These
extracted features from the training. This was multiplied by
the prior probability, which is 0.5 in this case because the
value is either a 0 or a 1.
This ]. Without using a built-in function, the first feature,
the mean, could be calculated using the equation in Fig. 1.
The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()’ for each image in the
set. In addition, the standard deviation of the pixel
brightness values was calculated for each image by calling
‘numpy.std()’, another useful NumPy function. These
extracted features from the training.
This entire procedure had to be conducted once again but
utilizing the test sample for digit 1 instead. This meant
finding the mean and standard deviation of each image, using
the probability density function to calculate the probability of
the mean and probability of the standard deviation for digit 0,
and calculating the probability that the image is classified as
6. digit 0. The same operations had to be performed again, but
for the training set for digit 1. The probability of the image
being classified as digit 0 had to be compared to the
probability of the image being classified as digit 1. Again,
the larger of the two values suggested which digit to classify
as the label.
One aspect of machine learning that I understood better
after completion of the project was Gaussian distribution.
This normalized distribution style displays a bell-shape of
data in which the peak of the bell is where the mean of the
data is located [4]. A bimodal distribution is one that
displays two bell-shaped distributions on the same graph.
After calculating the features for both digit 0 and digit 1, the
probability density function gave statistical odds of that
particular image being classified under a specific bell -
shaped curve. An example of a bimodal distribution can be
seen in Fig. 7 below.
C. Determining the accuracy of the label
The mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first
feature, the mean, could be calculated using the equation in
Fig. 1. The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values was
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()’ for each image in the
set. In addition, the standard deviation of the pixel
brightness values was calculated for each image by calling
‘numpy.std()’, another useful NumPy function. These
extracted features from the by the total number of images in
the test sample for digit 1.

mean for. Without using a built-in function, the first
feature, the mean, could be calculated using the equation in
Fig. 1. The second feature, the standard deviation, could be
calculated using the equation in Fig. 2. Utilizing the training
set for digit 0, the mean of the pixel brightness values w as
determined by calling ‘numpy.mean()’ for each image in the

brightness values was calculated for each image by calling
‘numpy.std()’, another useful NumPy function. These
extracted features from the also higher.
TABLE I. TRAINING SET FOR DIGIT 0

When comparing the test images, the higher values of
the means and the standard deviations typically were labeled
as digit 0 and the lower ones as digit 1. However, this was
not always the case because then the calculated accuracy
would then be 100%.
The e. After classifying all the images in the test sample
for digit 0, the total amount predicted as digit 0 was 899.
This meant that the accuracy of classification was 0000%,
which can be represented in Fig. 5.

digit 1, the total amount predicted as digit 00000. This
meant that the accuracy of classification was 00000%,
which can be represented in Fig. 6.
IV. LESSONS LEARNED
The procedures practiced in this project required skill in
the Python programming language, as well as understanding
concepts of statistics. It required plenty of practice to
implement statistical equations, such as finding the mean,
the standard deviation, and the variance. My foundational
knowledge of mathematical operations helped me gain an
initial understanding of how to set up classification
problems. My lack of understanding of the Python language
made it difficult to succeed initially. Proper syntax and
built-in functions had to be learned first before continuing
with solving the classification issue. For example, I had very
little understanding of NumPy prior to this project. I learned
that it was extremely beneficial for producing results of
mathematical operations. One of the biggest challenges for
me was creating and navigating through NumPy arrays
rather than a Python array. Looking back, it was a simple
issue that I solved after understanding how they were
uniquely formed. Once I had a grasp on the language and
built-in functions, I was able to create the probability
9. density function in the code and then apply classification
towards each image.
One aspect of machine learning that I understood better
after completion of the project was Gaussian distribution.

data in which the peak of the bell is where the mean of the

38. Reflection:
My overall role in the team was Data Analyst where I was
responsible for combining
theory in the group and practices to make and communicate data
insights that enabled my
team to make informed inferences regarding the data. Through
skills such as data analytics and
statistical modeling, my role as a data analyst was crucial in
mining and gathering data. Once
data is ready, performed exploratory analysis for native-
country, race, education, and work
class variables of the dataset.
The other role was charged with as a data analyst in the group
was to apply statistical
tools to construe the mined data by giving specific attention to
the trends and the various
39. patterns which would lead to predictive analytics to enable the
group to make informed
decisions and predictions.
Another role that I did for the group was to work on data
cleansing. The specific role
involved managing data though procedure that ensures data us
properly formatted and
irrelevant data points are removed.
Lessons Learned:
The wisdom that I would share with others regarding research
design is to ensure that
the design is straightforward and aimed towards answering the
research question. Having an
appropriate research design will assist the group to answer the
40. research question effectively. I
would also share with the team that it is very appropriate to
consider at the time of data
collection from sources and analyze the data into something that
the researcher the team
would want to consider. On how to best apply them is to
consider that it is appropriate for the
team to ensure that the data is analyzed appropriately and
structured appropriately. Make sure
data is cleansed and outliers are removed or normalized.
From the group, we can conclude that the research was an
honest effort that was
established to identify how the lessons learned are beyond the
project. The data analytics skills
ensured that the analyzed data was collected from the primary
sources of data, this prevent
41. 3
the group from the biasedness of another research that was
previously conducted. In this, data
world there is unlimited data choosing right variable among the
data to answer the research
questions is very important by using correlation and other
techniques.
Assessment:
Additional skills that I learned from the course and during the
project work is choosing
the visualization type and variables from data set, which is a
very important in the analysis of
data. Through this skill, I was able to conceptualize and
properly analyze and interpret big data
42. that requires data modeling and management. Despite that is
through the group that I was able
to develop my communication skills since the data analytic role
needed an excellent
communicator who would interpret and explain the various
inferences to my group.
Group members are in different time zones, scheduling a time to
meet was
strenuousness. Everyone in the team was accommodating.
Future Application:
In my current role, I will analyze the metrics of the cluster and
logs to monitor the health
of the different services using Elasticsearch Kibana and
Grafana. The topics I learned in this
43. course will be greatly useful and I can apply it in building
metrics based Kibana dashboard for
Management to see the usage and cost incurred for each service
running in the cluster. And I
will use statistical methods on picking the fields interested
among thousands of available fields.
