A digital image can be considered as a discrete representation of data possessing both spatial (layout) and
intensity (colour) information. Pixel intensities form a gateway communication between human perception
of things and digital image processing.
Image thresholding is a simple form of image segmentation. It is a way to create a binary image from a
grayscale or full-color image. This is typically done in order to separate "object" or foreground pixels from
background pixels to aid in image processing.
In this paper we aim to present a small and modest comparative between two kind of image thresholding.
The local and adapatative concepts may not give the same correct results at the end of a process, and we
aim to demonstrate which kind of the two

Sign Language Recognition Using Image Processing For Mute Peoplepaperpublications3
Ā
Abstract: Computer recognition of sign language is an important research problem for enabling communication with mute people. This project introduces an efficient and fast algorithm for identification of the number of fingers opened in a gesture representing an alphabet of the Binary Sign Language.
The system does not require the hand to be perfectly aligned to the camera. The project uses image processing system to identify, especially English alphabetic sign language used by the mute people to communicate. The basic objective of this project is to develop a computer based intelligent system that will enable mute people significantly to communicate with all other people using their natural hand gestures.
The idea consisted of designing and building up an intelligent system using image processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence concepts to take visual inputs of sign languageās hand gestures and generate easily recognizable form of outputs.
Hence the objective of this project is to develop an intelligent system which can act as a translator between the sign language and the spoken language dynamically and can make the communication between people with mute and normal people both effective and efficient. The system is we are implementing for Binary sign language but it can detect any sign language with prior image processing.
Reversible Data Hiding Using Contrast Enhancement ApproachCSCJournals
Ā
Reverse Data Hiding is a technique used to hide the object's data details. This technique is used to ensure the security and to protect the integrity of the object from any modification by preventing intended and unintended changes. Digital watermarking is a key ingredient to multimedia protection. However, most existing techniques distort the original content as a side effect of image protection. As a way to overcome such distortion, reversible data embedding has recently been introduced and is growing rapidly. In reversible data embedding, the original content can be completely restored after the removal of the watermark. Therefore, it is very practical to protect legal, medical, or other important imagery. In this paper a novel removable (lossless) data hiding technique is proposed. This technique is based on the histogram modification to produce extra space for embedding, and the redundancy in digital images is exploited to achieve a very high embedding capacity. This method has been applied to various standard images. The experimental results have demonstrated a promising outcome and the proposed technique achieved satisfactory and stable performance both on embedding capacity and visual quality. The proposed method capacity is up to 129K bits with PSNR between 42-45dB. The performance is hence better than most exiting reversible data hiding algorithms.

COLOUR IMAGE ENHANCEMENT BASED ON HISTOGRAM EQUALIZATIONecij

Histogram equalization is a nonlinear technique for adjusting the contrast of an image using its
histogram. It increases the brightness of a gray scale image which is different from the mean brightness of
the original image. There are various types of Histogram equalization techniques like Histogram
Equalization, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Brightness Preserving Bi Histogram
Equalization, Dualistic Sub Image Histogram Equalization, Minimum Mean Brightness Error Bi
Histogram Equalization, Recursive Mean Separate Histogram Equalization and Recursive Sub Image
Histogram Equalization. In this paper, the histogram equalization approach of gray-level images is
extended for colour images. The acquired image is converted into HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value). The
image is then decomposed into two parts by using exposure threshold and then equalized them
independently Over enhancement is also controlled in this method by using clipping threshold. For
measuring the performance of the enhanced image, entropy and contrast are calculated.
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.

Illumination estimation is basic to white balancing digital color images and to color constancy. The key to automatic white balancing of digital images is to estimate precisely the color of the overall scene illumination. Many methods for estimating the illuminationās color has proposed. Though not the most exact, one of the simplest and quite extensively used methods are the gray world algorithm, white patch, max-RGB, Gray edge using first order derivative and gray edge using second order derivative, saturation weighting. The first-three methods have neglected the multiple light sources illuminate. In this work, we investigate how illuminate estimation techniques can be improved using fuzzy membership. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate performance of Fuzzy Enhancement based saturation weighting technique for different light sources (single, multiple, indoor scene and outdoor scene) under different conditions. The experiment has clearly shown the effectiveness of the proposed technique over the available methods.
A Novel Color Image Fusion for Multi Sensor Night Vision ImagesEditor IJCATR

In this paper presents a simple and fast color fusion approach for night vision images. Image fusion involves merging of two
or more images in such a way, to get the most advantageous characteristics of each image. Here the Visible image is fused with the
InfraRed (IR) image, so the desired result will be single, highly informative image providing full information. This paper focuses on
color constancy and color contrast problem.
Firstly the contrast of the infrared and visible image is enhanced using Local Histogram Equation. Then the two enhanced
images are fused in three compounds of a LAB image using aDWT image fusion. This paper adopts an approach which transfer color
from the reference image to the fused image using Color Transfer Technology. To enhance the contrast between the target and the
background, a scaling factor is introduced in the transferring equation in the b channel. Finally our approach gives the Multiband
Fused image with the natural day-time color appearance and the hot targets are popped out with intense colors while the background
details present with the natural color appearance.

Histogram equalization (HE) is a simple and widely used image contrast enhancement technique. The basic disadvantage of HE is it changes the brightness of the image. In order to overcome this drawback, various HE methods have been proposed. These methods preserves the brightness on the output image but, does not have a natural look. In order to overcome this problem the, present paper uses Multi-HE methods, which decompose the image into several sub images, and classical HE method is applied to each sub image.

APPLYING R-SPATIOGRAM IN OBJECT TRACKING FOR OCCLUSION HANDLINGsipij
Ā
Object tracking is one of the most important problems in computer vision. The aim of video tracking is to extract the trajectories of a target or object of interest, i.e. accurately locate a moving target in a video sequence and discriminate target from non-targets in the feature space of the sequence. So, feature descriptors can have significant effects on such discrimination. In this paper, we use the basic idea of many trackers which consists of three main components of the reference model, i.e., object modeling, object detection and localization, and model updating. However, there are major improvements in our system. Our forth component, occlusion handling, utilizes the r-spatiogram to detect the best target candidate. While spatiogram contains some moments upon the coordinates of the pixels, r-spatiogram computes region-based compactness on the distribution of the given feature in the image that captures richer features to represent the objects. The proposed research develops an efficient and robust way to keep tracking the object throughout video sequences in the presence of significant appearance variations and severe occlusions. The proposed method is evaluated on the Princeton RGBD tracking dataset considering sequences with different challenges and the obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Abstract: Many applications such as robot navigation, defense, medical and remote sensing performvarious processing tasks, which can be performed more easily when all objects in different images of the same scene are combined into a single fused image. In this paper, we propose a fast and effective method for image fusion. The proposed method derives the intensity based variations that is large and small scale, from the source images. In this approach, guided filtering is employed for this extraction. Gaussian and Laplacian pyramidal approach is then used to fuse the different layers obtained. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain better performance for fusion of
all sets of images. The results clearly indicate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

IMAGE ENHANCEMENT IN CASE OF UNEVEN ILLUMINATION USING VARIABLE THRESHOLDING ...ijsrd.com
Ā
Uneven illumination always affects the visual quality images which results in poor understanding about the content of the images. There is no accepted universal image enhancement algorithm or specific criteria which can fulfill user needs. The processed image may be very different with the original image in the visual effects, but it also may be similar to the original image [1]. It will be a developing tradition to integrate the advantage of various algorithms to practical application to image enhancements [2]. Zhang et al. [3] presents an adaptive image contrast enhancement method. The proposed method is based on a local gamma correction piloted by histogram analysis. In this paper , to avoid uneven Illuminance image is divided into different segments . It works locally to decrease contrast as if we perform enhancement techniques globally on portions which are already bright then this gives poor results. Enhancement techniques are applied only to those dark portions. We need accurate method that not only enhance the image but also preserve the information.
Image enhancement is one of the challenging issues in image processing. The objective of Image enhancement is to process an image so that result is more suitable than original image for specific application. Digital image enhancement techniques provide a lot of choices for improving the visual quality of images. Appropriate choice of such techniques is very important. This paper will provide an overview and analysis of different techniques commonly used for image enhancement. Image enhancement plays a fundamental role in vision applications. Recently much work is completed in the field of images enhancement. Many techniques have previously been proposed up to now for enhancing the digital images. In this paper, a survey on various image enhancement techniques has been done.

to identify various portions of a digital image at which a sharpened image is observed in the output or
more formally has discontinuities. The contour of Edge Detection also helps in Object Detection and

Gradient First order derivative function for edge detection by using Verilog Hardware Description
Language and in turn compared with the results of the previous paper in Matlab. The process of edge
detection in Verilog significantly reduces the processing time and filters out unneeded information, while

Establishment of an Efficient Color Model from Existing Models for Better Gam...CSCJournals
Ā
Human vision is an important factor in the areas of image processing. Research has been done for years to make automatic image processing but still human intervention can not be denied and thus better human intervention is necessary. Two most important points are required to improve human vision which are light and color. Gamma encoder is the one which helps to improve the properties of human vision and thus to maintain visual quality gamma encoding is necessary.
It is to mention that all through the computer graphics RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) color space is vastly used. Moreover, for computer graphics RGB color space is called the most established choice to acquire desired color. RGB color space has a great effort on simplifying the design and architecture of a system. However, RGB struggles to deal efficiently for the images those belong to the real-world.
Images are captured using cameras, videos and other devices using different magnifications. In most cases during processing, in compare to the original outlook the images appear either dark or bright in contrast. Human vision affects and thus poor quality image analysis may occur. Consequently this poor manual image analysis may have huge difference from the computational image analysis outcome. Question may arise here why we will use gamma encoding when histogram equalization or histogram normalization can enhance images. Enhancing images does not improve human visualization quality all the time because sometimes it brightens the image quality when it is needed to darken and vice-versa. Human vision reflects under universal illumination environment (not pitch black or blindingly bright) thus follows an approximate gamma or power function. Hence, this is not a good idea to brighten images all the time when better human visualization can be obtained while darkening the images. Better human visualization is important for manual image processing which leads to compare the outcome with the semiautomated or automated one. Considering the importance of gamma encoding in image processing we propose an efficient color model which will help to improve visual quality for manual processing as well as will lead analyzers to analyze images automatically for comparison and testing purpose.
Image enhancement is a method of improving the quality of an image and contrast is a major aspect. Traditional methods of contrast enhancement like histogram equalization results in over/under enhancement of the image especially a lower resolution one. This paper aims at developing a new Fuzzy Inference System to enhance the contrast of the low resolution images overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional methods. Results obtained using both the approaches are compared.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
Ā
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Ā
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Abstract
A digital image can be considered as a discrete representation of data possessing both spatial (layout) and
intensity (colour) information. Pixel intensities form a gateway communication between human perception
of things and digital image processing.
Image thresholding is a simple form of image segmentation. It is a way to create a binary image from a
grayscale or full-color image. This is typically done in order to separate "object" or foreground pixels from
background pixels to aid in image processing.
In this paper we aim to present a small and modest comparative between two kind of image thresholding.
The local and adapatative concepts may not give the same correct results at the end of a process, and we
aim to demonstrate which kind of the two threshold concept is the best for counting objects in a RGB image
containing a lot of color intensities.
Keywords : Colorimetry - Image processing using Matlab - Threshold - Segmentation - Image analysis
1 Introduction
To understand an image, it has to be divided into differ-
ent meaningful parts called objects which can be easily
identiļ¬ed and depicts some information. This division
process is called image segmentation and threshold-
ing is one of the popular techniques for image seg-
mentation. It has low computational cost when com-
pared to other algorithms Image thresholding works on
the principle of pixel classiļ¬cation. It divides an im-
age into segments depending upon the pixel attributes.
This techniques applies on each pixel and by compar-
ing it to a speciļ¬c threshold value decides whether the
picture belongs to an object or background. For gray
images, the segmentation is carry out on the basis of
image gray levels where the brighter part of an image
is object and darker is background. The objects and
background of gray level images can be easily iden-
tiļ¬ed, but the process becomes more complicated for
color or textured images. So, for color and textured
images requires much more attention and processing
to get segmented. The thresholding is also affected by
the noise and artefacts present in image. Usually some
preprocessing steps are applied to reduce the noise and
artefacts effects.
The principal goal of the segmentation process is to
partition an image into regions that are homogeneous
with respect to one or more characteristics or fea-
tures. Segmentation is an important tool in many ļ¬eld
of applications such as medical image processing and
aerospace image processing.
In this example, we will use image thresholding con-
cepts to automatically calculate the number of objects
present for one image using different algorithms.
Thresholding is the simplest method of segmenting
image. From a grayscale image, it can be used to cre-
ate binary images.
In our project we are gonna use two basic methods of
thresholding the local thresholding and the adaptative
thresholding.
2 Materials and methods
In this project we only need Matlab software with im-
age processing toolbox pre-installed.
We aim to use thresholding methods to calculate au-
tomatically the number of objects present in a RGB
image. The following image in ļ¬gure 1 is the one we
are going to threshold.

2. Figure 1: The base image for the case of study
This image includes plenty of objects in different
shapes, and different colors.
The second step is to process the base image into a
gray scale image, the results is in ļ¬gure ??
And the histogram of the gray scale image is shown
below in ļ¬gure 3.
Figure 2: Processing result of the base image into gray
scale
Figure 3: The histogram of the gray scale image
Now that we have the histogram of the image in
gray scale, we can start our thresholding.
Just notice that the histogram of our image contains
only one peak, we are gonna explain this remark later.
2.1 Global thresholding :
Global threshold is totally dependent on the histogram
of the image. The histograms of images may be af-
fected with noise, contrast, hue, saturation, shadow
and more.
The aim of global threshold is to select a pixel intensity
value from the histogram and set all the greater inten-
sities from that value to the value 1, and the smaller
intensities to 0. We got then a binary image.
In our project we use the local center method on his-
togram to chose the value of threshold.
We devise the number center repeated of intensity
(11000) on the value of intensity repeated (210) we
got then a threshold value equal to 0.6.
We apply then a thresholding with 0.6 value on our
image and we got the segmented image in ļ¬gure 4.
Figure 4: The result of global threshold
We notice that the global threshold with local cen-
ter method made a loss of details in the image, the two
yellow balls disappeared.
2.2 Adaptative thresholding :
Like global thresholding, adaptive thresholding is used
to separate desirable foreground image objects from
the background based on the difference in pixel inten-
sities of each region. There is a lot of algorithms to
calculate the adaptative threshold value, the most well
know is the Otsu algorithm.
But in our project we use a general methode based on
thresholding the image for each RGB intensity.
First, we process the base image to a grey scaled image
2
3. for each basic color, so we have Red gray scale his-
togram shown in ļ¬gure 5 , Green gray scale histogram
shown in ļ¬gure 6 and Blue gray scale histogram shown
in ļ¬gure 7.
Figure 5: Processing result of Red gray scale his-
togram
Figure 6: Processing result of the Green gray scale his-
togram
Figure 7: Processing result of the Blue gray scale his-
togram
Now we do the same steps of global threshold for
each grey scale image for red, green and blue. The
result are shown below :
Figure 8: Global threshold of the Red gray scale
Figure 9: Global threshold of the Green gray scale
Figure 10: Global threshold of the Blue gray scale
Now to achieve the adaptative threshold to our
base image, all we need to do is to sum the Red gray
scale threshold, the Green gray scale threshold and the
3
4. Blue gray scale threshold image. The result of adapta-
tive threshold is shown in ļ¬gure 11.
Figure 11: The result of adaptative threshold
We notice that in contrary of the global threshold,
adaptative threshold have not lost objects in the image.
3 Results
Now after we did the global and adaptative threshold-
ing, we procede to the main objective of our applica-
tion that is to make a program capable of detecting
how many objects we have in the image.
To compute how many objects we have in the image
we display an algorithm that does these steps :
- Measure properties of image regions using āregion-
propsā then āstats.areaā then āstats.Eccentricityā matlab
commands.
- Find Eccentricity of the Image.
- Make a Bounding box to every object of the image
and show the result of how many objects we have.
The result of the global threshold is shown if ļ¬gure 12
Figure 12: The result of global threshold computing
The result of computing gives as that there is 16
objects in the image which is false.
The two missing objects are the two balls lost in the
global threshold.
The result of the adaptative threshold is shown if ļ¬g-
ure 13
Figure 13: The result of adaptative threshold comput-
ing
The result of computing gives as that there is 18
objects in the image which is correct.
4 Conclusion
The computing error in global threshold is due to the
lost of information during thresholding.
The global thresholding is note intersting for use when
the histogram of the image we work on contains only
one peak. This cause the loss of important details
and informations we need in the image. The global
thresholding could be more for use on histogram that
contains two peaks.
The adaptative approach of threshold has shown sat-
isfying results, because we adapted the threshold for
every RGB scale in the image so we donāt lose details
and informations.
