This paper proposes Modified Human Colour Perception (MHCPH) based on human visual
perception. The colour and gray weights are distributed to neighbouring bins smoothly with
respect to pixel information. The amount of weight distributed to the neighbouring bins is
estimated using NBS distance, which is for human visual perception of colour. This distribution
makes it possible to extract the background colour information effectively along with the
foreground information. The low-level feature of all the database images are extracted and
stored in feature database. The relevant images are retrieved for a query based on the similarity
ranking between the query and database images. In this work, Manhattan distance is used as
distance metric. The experimental results are promising and show that the proposed approach identifies relevant images based on the level of smooth distribution even for an image with complex background colour.
Evaluation of Euclidean and Manhanttan Metrics In Content Based Image Retriev...IJERA Editor
Content-based Image Retrieval is all about generating signatures of images in database and comparing the signature of the query image with these stored signatures. Color histogram can be used as signature of an image and used to compare two images based on certain distance metric. Distance metrics Manhattan distance (L1 norm) and Euclidean distance (L2 norm) are used to determine similarities between a pair of images. In this paper, Corel database is used to evaluate the performance of Manhattan and Euclidean distance metrics. The experimental results showed that Manhattan showed better precision rate than Euclidean distance metric. The evaluation is made using Content based image retrieval application developed using color moments of the Hue, Saturation and Value(HSV) of the image and Gabor descriptors are adopted as texture features.
Review on Image Enhancement in Spatial Domainidescitation
With the proliferation in electronic imaging devices
like in mobiles, computer vision, medical field and space field;
image enhancement field has become the quite interesting
and important area of research. These imaging devices are
viewed under a diverse range of viewing conditions and a huge
loss in contrast under bright outdoor viewing conditions; thus
viewing condition parameters such as surround effects,
correlated color temperature and ambient lighting have
become of significant importance. Therefore, Principle
objective of Image enhancement is to adjust the quality of an
image for better human visual perception. Appropriate choice
of enhancement techniques is greatly influenced by the
imaging modality, task at hand and viewing conditions.
Basically, image enhancement techniques have been classified
into two broad categories: Spatial domain image enhancement
and Frequency domain image enhancement. This survey report
gives an overview of different methodologies have been used
for enhancement under the spatial domain category. It is noted
that in this field still more research is to be done.

With many possible multimedia applications, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has recently gained more interest for image management and web search. CBIR is a technique that utilizes the visual content of an image, to search for similar images in large-scale image databases, according to a user’s concern. In image retrieval algorithms, retrieval is according to feature similarities with respect to the query, ignoring the similarities among images in database. To use the feature similarities information, this paper presents the k-means clustering algorithm to image retrieval system. This clustering algorithm optimizes the relevance results by firstly clustering the similar images in the database. In this paper, we are also implementing wavelet transform which demonstrates significant rough and precise filtering. We also apply the Euclidean distance metric and input a query image based on similarity features of which we can retrieve the output images. The results show that the proposed approach can greatly improve the efficiency and performances of image retrieval.

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

Image thresholding is a simple form of image segmentation. It is a way to create a binary image from a

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.

Wavelet-Based Color Histogram on Content-Based Image RetrievalTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The growth of image databases in many domains, including fashion, biometric, graphic design,
architecture, etc. has increased rapidly. Content Based Image Retrieval System (CBIR) is a technique used
for finding relevant images from those huge and unannotated image databases based on low-level features
of the query images. In this study, an attempt to employ 2nd level Wavelet Based Color Histogram (WBCH)
on a CBIR system is proposed. Image database used in this study are taken from Wang’s image database
containing 1000 color images. The experiment results show that 2nd level WBCH gives better precision
(0.777) than the other methods, including 1st level WBCH, Color Histogram, Color Co-occurrence Matrix,
and Wavelet texture feature. It can be concluded that the 2nd Level of WBCH can be applied to CBIR system.
The development of multimedia system technology in Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR) System is
one in every of the outstanding area to retrieve the images from an oversized collection of database. The feature
vectors of the query image are compared with feature vectors of the database images to get matching images.It is
much observed that anyone algorithm isn't beneficial in extracting all differing kinds of natural images. Thus an
intensive analysis of certain color, texture and shape extraction techniques are allotted to spot an efficient CBIR
technique that suits for a selected sort of images. The Extraction of an image includes feature description and
feature extraction. During this paper, we tend to projected Color Layout Descriptor (CLD), grey Level Co-
Occurrences Matrix (GLCM), Marker-Controlled Watershed Segmentation feature extraction technique that
extract the matching image based on the similarity of Color, Texture and shape within the database. For
performance analysis, the image retrieval timing results of the projected technique is calculated and compared
with every of the individual feature.
Hashing is popular technique of image authentication to identify malicious attacks and it also allows appearance changes in an image in controlled way. Image hashing is quality summarization of images. Quality summarization implies extraction and representation of powerful low level features in compact form. Proposed adaptive CSLBP compressed hashing method uses modified CSLBP (Center Symmetric Local Binary Pattern) as a basic method for texture extraction and color weight factor derived from L*a*b* color space. Image hash is generated from image texture. Color weight factors are used adaptively in average and difference forms to enhance discrimination capability of hash. For smooth region, averaging of colours used while for non-smooth region, color differencing is used. Adaptive CSLBP histogram is a compressed form of CSLBP and its quality is improved by adaptive color weight factor. Experimental results are demonstrated with two benchmarks, normalized hamming distance and ROC characteristics. Proposed method successfully differentiate between content change and content persevering modifications for color images.
Reduced-reference Video Quality Metric Using Spatial Information in Salient R...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In multimedia transmission, it is important to rely on an objective quality metric which accurately
represents the subjective quality of processed images and video sequences. Maintaining acceptable
Quality of Experience in video transmission requires the ability to measure the quality of the video seen at
the receiver end. Reduced-reference metrics make use of side-information that is transmitted to the
receiver for estimating the quality of the received sequence with low complexity. This attribute enables
real-time assessment and visual degradation detection caused by transmission and compression errors. A
novel reduced-reference video quality known as the Spatial Information in Salient Regions Reduced
Reference Metric is proposed. The approach proposed makes use of spatial activity to estimate the
received sequence distortion after concealment. The statistical elements analysed in this work are based
on extracted edges and their luminance distributions. Results highlight that the proposed edge dissimilarit y
measure has a good correlation with DMOS scores from the LIVE Video Database.
improving differently illuminant images with fuzzy membership based saturatio...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
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 illumination’s 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 comparative analysis of retrieval techniques in content based image retrievalcsandit
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.
EFFECTIVE SEARCH OF COLOR-SPATIAL IMAGE USING SEMANTIC INDEXINGIJCSEA Journal
Most of the data stored in libraries are in digital form will contain either pictures or video, which is tough to search or browse. Methods which are automatic for searching picture collections made large use of color histograms, because they are very strong to wide changes in viewpoint, and can be calculated trivially. However, color histograms unable to present spatial data, and therefore tend to give lesser results. By using combination of color information with spatial layout we have developed several methods, while retrieving the advantages of histograms. A method computes a given color as a function of the distance between two pixels, which we call a color correlogram. We propose a color-based image descriptor that can be used for image indexing based on high-level semantic concepts. The descriptor is
based on Kobayashi’s Color Image Scale, which is a system that includes 130 basic colors combined in 1180 three-color combinations. The words are represented in a two dimensional semantic space into groups based on perceived similarity. The modified approach for statistical analysis of pictures involves transformations of ordinary RGB histograms. Then a semantic image descriptor is derived, containing semantic data about both color combinations and single colors in the image.

Color Image Segmentation based on JND Color HistogramCSCJournals
This paper proposes a new color image segmentation approach based on JND (Just Noticeable Difference) histogram. Histogram of the given color image is computed using JND color model. This samples each of the three axes of color space so that just enough number of visually different color bins (each bin containing visually similar colors) are obtained without compromising the visual image content. The histogram bins are further reduced using agglomeration process. This merges similar histogram bins together based on a specific threshold in terms of JND. This agglomerated histogram yields the final segmentation based on similar colors. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated on Berkeley Segmentation Database. Two significant criterias namely PSNR and PRI (Probabilistic Rand Index) are used to evaluate the performance. Experimental results show that the proposed approach gives better results than conventional color histogram (CCH) based method and with drastically reduced time complexity.

The aim of this paper is to present a comparative s
tudy of two linear dimension reduction
methods namely PCA (Principal Component Analysis) a
nd LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis).
The main idea of PCA is to transform the high dimen
sional input space onto the feature space
where the maximal variance is displayed. The featur
e selection in traditional LDA is obtained
by maximizing the difference between classes and mi
nimizing the distance within classes. PCA
finds the axes with maximum variance for the whole
data set where LDA tries to find the axes
for best class seperability. The proposed method is
experimented over a general image database
using Matlab. The performance of these systems has
been evaluated by Precision and Recall
measures. Experimental results show that PCA based
dimension reduction method gives the
better performance in terms of higher precision and
recall values with lesser computational
complexity than the LDA based method.

Abstract Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an vital research area for manipulating bulky image databases and records. Alongside the conventional method where the images are searched on the basis of words, CBIR system uses visual contents to retrieve the images. In content based image retrieval systems texture and color features have been the primal descriptors. We use HSV color information and mean of the image as texture information. The performance of proposed scheme is calculated on the basis of precision, recall and accuracy. As an effect, the blend of color and texture features of the image provides strong feature set for image retrieval. Keywords: image retrieval, HSV color space, color histogram, image texture.

PCA & CS based fusion for Medical Image FusionIJMTST Journal
Compressive sampling (CS), also called Compressed sensing, has generated a tremendous amount of excitement in the image processing community. It provides an alternative to Shannon/ Nyquist sampling when the signal under acquisition is known to be sparse or compressible. In this paper, we propose a new efficient image fusion method for compressed sensing imaging. In this method, we calculate the two dimensional discrete cosine transform of multiple input images, these achieved measurements are multiplied with sampling filter, so compressed images are obtained. we take inverse discrete cosine transform of them. Finally, fused image achieves from these results by using PCA fusion method. This approach also is implemented for multi-focus and noisy images. Simulation results show that our method provides promising fusion performance in both visual comparison and comparison using objective measures. Moreover, because this method does not need to recovery process the computational time is decreased very much.
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES IN CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVALcscpconf
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.

Image fusion is a technique used to integrate a highresolution
panchromatic image with multispectral low-resolution
image to produce a multispectral high-resolution image, that
contains both the spatial information of the panchromatic highresolution
image and the color information of the multispectral
image .Although an increasing number of high-resolution images
are available along with sensor technology development, the
process of image fusion is still a popular and important method to
interpret the image data for obtaining a more suitable image for a
variety of applications, like visual interpretation and digital
classification. To get the complete information from the single
image we need to have a method to fuse the images. In the current
paper we are going to propose a method that uses hybrid of
wavelets for Image fusion.
An implementation of novel genetic based clustering algorithm for color image...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The color image segmentation is one of most crucial application in image processing. It can apply to medical image segmentation for a brain tumor and skin cancer detection or color object detection on CCTV traffic video image segmentation and also for face recognition, fingerprint recognition etc. The color image segmentation has faced the problem of multidimensionality. The color image is considered in five-dimensional problems, three dimensions in color (RGB) and two dimensions in geometry (luminosity layer and chromaticity layer). In this paper the, L*a*b color space conversion has been used to reduce the one dimensional and geometrically it converts in the array hence the further one dimension has been reduced. The a*b space is clustered using genetic algorithm process, which minimizes the overall distance of the cluster, which is randomly placed at the start of the segmentation process. The segmentation results of this method give clear segments based on the different color and it can be applied to any application.
IMPORTANCE OF IMAGE ENHANCEMENT TECHNIQUES IN COLOR IMAGE SEGMENTATION: A COM...Dibya Jyoti Bora
Color image segmentation is a very emerging research topic in the area of color image analysis and pattern recognition. Many state-of-the-art algorithms have been developed for this purpose. But, often the segmentation results of these algorithms seem to be suffering from miss-classifications and over-segmentation. The reasons behind these are the degradation of image quality during the acquisition, transmission and color space conversion. So, here arises the need of an efficient image enhancement technique which can remove the redundant pixels or noises from the color image before proceeding for final segmentation. In this paper, an effort has been made to study and analyze different image enhancement techniques and thereby finding out the better one for color image segmentation. Also, this comparative study is done on two well-known color spaces HSV and LAB separately to find out which color space supports segmentation task more efficiently with respect to those enhancement techniques.

Low level features for image retrieval basedcaijjournal
In this paper, we present a novel approach for image retrieval based on extraction of low level features
using techniques such as Directional Binary Code (DBC), Haar Wavelet transform and Histogram of
Oriented Gradients (HOG). The DBC texture descriptor captures the spatial relationship between any pair
of neighbourhood pixels in a local region along a given direction, while Local Binary Patterns (LBP)
descriptor considers the relationship between a given pixel and its surrounding neighbours. Therefore,
DBC captures more spatial information than LBP and its variants, also it can extract more edge
information than LBP. Hence, we employ DBC technique in order to extract grey level texture features
(texture map) from each RGB channels individually and computed texture maps are further combined
which represents colour texture features (colour texture map) of an image. Then, we decomposed the
extracted colour texture map and original image using Haar wavelet transform. Finally, we encode the
shape and local features of wavelet transformed images using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for
content based image retrieval. The performance of proposed method is compared with existing methods on
two databases such as Wang’s corel image and Caltech 256. The evaluation results show that our
approach outperforms the existing methods for image retrieval.
PDE BASED FEATURES FOR TEXTURE ANALYSIS USING WAVELET TRANSFORMIJCI JOURNAL
In the present paper, a novel method of partial differential equation (PDE) based features for texture
analysis using wavelet transform is proposed. The aim of the proposed method is to investigate texture
descriptors that perform better with low computational cost. Wavelet transform is applied to obtain
directional information from the image. Anisotropic diffusion is used to find texture approximation from
directional information. Further, texture approximation is used to compute various statistical features.
LDA is employed to enhance the class separability. The k-NN classifier with tenfold experimentation is
used for classification. The proposed method is evaluated on Brodatz dataset. The experimental results
demonstrate the effectiveness of the method as compared to the other methods in the literature.

ANALYSIS OF LAND SURFACE DEFORMATION GRADIENT BY DINSAR cscpconf
The progressive development of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems diversify the exploitation of the generated images by these systems in different applications of geoscience. Detection and monitoring surface deformations, procreated by various phenomena had benefited from this evolution and had been realized by interferometry (InSAR) and differential interferometry (DInSAR) techniques. Nevertheless, spatial and temporal decorrelations of the interferometric couples used, limit strongly the precision of analysis results by these techniques. In this context, we propose, in this work, a methodological approach of surface deformation detection and analysis by differential interferograms to show the limits of this technique according to noise quality and level. The detectability model is generated from the deformation signatures, by simulating a linear fault merged to the images couples of ERS1 / ERS2 sensors acquired in a region of the Algerian south.

MOVING FROM WATERFALL TO AGILE PROCESS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CAPSTONE PROJE...cscpconf
Universities offer software engineering capstone course to simulate a real world-working environment in which students can work in a team for a fixed period to deliver a quality product. The objective of the paper is to report on our experience in moving from Waterfall process to Agile process in conducting the software engineering capstone project. We present the capstone course designs for both Waterfall driven and Agile driven methodologies that highlight the structure, deliverables and assessment plans.To evaluate the improvement, we conducted a survey for two different sections taught by two different instructors to evaluate students’ experience in moving from traditional Waterfall model to Agile like process. Twentyeight students filled the survey. The survey consisted of eight multiple-choice questions and an open-ended question to collect feedback from students. The survey results show that students were able to attain hands one experience, which simulate a real world-working environment. The results also show that the Agile approach helped students to have overall better design and avoid mistakes they have made in the initial design completed in of the first phase of the capstone project. In addition, they were able to decide on their team capabilities, training needs and thus learn the required technologies earlier which is reflected on the final product quality
PROMOTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT USING SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGIEScscpconf
Using social media in education provides learners with an informal way for communication. Informal communication tends to remove barriers and hence promotes student engagement. This paper presents our experience in using three different social media technologies in teaching software project management course. We conducted different surveys at the end of every semester to evaluate students’ satisfaction and engagement. Results show that using social media enhances students’ engagement and satisfaction. However, familiarity with the tool is an important factor for student satisfaction.

DYNAMIC PHONE WARPING – A METHOD TO MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN PRONUNCIATIONS cscpconf
Human beings generate different speech waveforms while speaking the same word at different times. Also, different human beings have different accents and generate significantly varying speech waveforms for the same word. There is a need to measure the distances between various words which facilitate preparation of pronunciation dictionaries. A new algorithm called Dynamic Phone Warping (DPW) is presented in this paper. It uses dynamic programming technique for global alignment and shortest distance measurements. The DPW algorithm can be used to enhance the pronunciation dictionaries of the well-known languages like English or to build pronunciation dictionaries to the less known sparse languages. The precision measurement experiments show 88.9% accuracy.
INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC ASSESSMENT FOR SUBJECTIVE EXAMS cscpconf
In education, the use of electronic (E) examination systems is not a novel idea, as Eexamination systems have been used to conduct objective assessments for the last few years. This research deals with randomly designed E-examinations and proposes an E-assessment system that can be used for subjective questions. This system assesses answers to subjective questions by finding a matching ratio for the keywords in instructor and student answers. The matching ratio is achieved based on semantic and document similarity. The assessment system is composed of four modules: preprocessing, keyword expansion, matching, and grading. A survey and case study were used in the research design to validate the proposed system. The examination assessment system will help instructors to save time, costs, and resources, while increasing efficiency and improving the productivity of exam setting and assessments.
TWO DISCRETE BINARY VERSIONS OF AFRICAN BUFFALO OPTIMIZATION METAHEURISTICcscpconf
African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) is one of the most recent swarms intelligence based metaheuristics. ABO algorithm is inspired by the buffalo’s behavior and lifestyle. Unfortunately, the standard ABO algorithm is proposed only for continuous optimization problems. In this paper, the authors propose two discrete binary ABO algorithms to deal with binary optimization problems. In the first version (called SBABO) they use the sigmoid function and probability model to generate binary solutions. In the second version (called LBABO) they use some logical operator to operate the binary solutions. Computational results on two knapsack problems (KP and MKP) instances show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and their ability to achieve good and promising solutions.
DETECTION OF ALGORITHMICALLY GENERATED MALICIOUS DOMAINcscpconf
In recent years, many malware writers have relied on Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) to maintain their Command and Control (C&C) network infrastructure to ensure a persistence presence on a compromised host. Amongst the various DDNS techniques, Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) is often perceived as the most difficult to detect using traditional methods. This paper presents an approach for detecting DGA using frequency analysis of the character distribution and the weighted scores of the domain names. The approach’s feasibility is demonstrated using a range of legitimate domains and a number of malicious algorithmicallygenerated domain names. Findings from this study show that domain names made up of English characters “a-z” achieving a weighted score of < 45 are often associated with DGA. When a weighted score of < 45 is applied to the Alexa one million list of domain names, only 15% of the domain names were treated as non-human generated.

The amount of piracy in the streaming digital content in general and the music industry in specific is posing a real challenge to digital content owners. This paper presents a DRM solution to monetizing, tracking and controlling online streaming content cross platforms for IP enabled devices. The paper benefits from the current advances in Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Specifically, the paper presents a Global Music Asset Assurance (GoMAA) digital currency and presents the iMediaStreams Blockchain to enable the secure dissemination and tracking of the streamed content. The proposed solution provides the data owner the ability to control the flow of information even after it has been released by creating a secure, selfinstalled, cross platform reader located on the digital content file header. The proposed system provides the content owners’ options to manage their digital information (audio, video, speech, etc.), including the tracking of the most consumed segments, once it is release. The system benefits from token distribution between the content owner (Music Bands), the content distributer (Online Radio Stations) and the content consumer(Fans) on the system blockchain.
IMPORTANCE OF VERB SUFFIX MAPPING IN DISCOURSE TRANSLATION SYSTEMcscpconf
This paper discusses the importance of verb suffix mapping in Discourse translation system. In
discourse translation, the crucial step is Anaphora resolution and generation. In Anaphora
resolution, cohesion links like pronouns are identified between portions of text. These binders
make the text cohesive by referring to nouns appearing in the previous sentences or nouns
appearing in sentences after them. In Machine Translation systems, to convert the source
language sentences into meaningful target language sentences the verb suffixes should be
changed as per the cohesion links identified. This step of translation process is emphasized in
the present paper. Specifically, the discussion is on how the verbs change according to the
subjects and anaphors. To explain the concept, English is used as the source language (SL) and
an Indian language Telugu is used as Target language (TL)

attention of neuroscientists and computer scientists, since it opens a new window to explore
functional network of human brain with relatively high resolution. BOLD technique provides
almost accurate state of brain. Past researches prove that neuro diseases damage the brain

VALIDATION METHOD OF FUZZY ASSOCIATION RULES BASED ON FUZZY FORMAL CONCEPT AN...cscpconf
In order to treat and analyze real datasets, fuzzy association rules have been proposed. Several
algorithms have been introduced to extract these rules. However, these algorithms suffer from
the problems of utility, redundancy and large number of extracted fuzzy association rules. The
expert will then be confronted with this huge amount of fuzzy association rules. The task of
validation becomes fastidious. In order to solve these problems, we propose a new validation
method. Our method is based on three steps. (i) We extract a generic base of non redundant
fuzzy association rules by applying EFAR-PN algorithm based on fuzzy formal concept analysis.
(ii) we categorize extracted rules into groups and (iii) we evaluate the relevance of these rules
using structural equation model.
PROBABILITY BASED CLUSTER EXPANSION OVERSAMPLING TECHNIQUE FOR IMBALANCED DATAcscpconf
In many applications of data mining, class imbalance is noticed when examples in one class are
overrepresented. Traditional classifiers result in poor accuracy of the minority class due to the
class imbalance. Further, the presence of within class imbalance where classes are composed of
multiple sub-concepts with different number of examples also affect the performance of
classifier. In this paper, we propose an oversampling technique that handles between class and
within class imbalance simultaneously and also takes into consideration the generalization
ability in data space. The proposed method is based on two steps- performing Model Based
Clustering with respect to classes to identify the sub-concepts; and then computing the
separating hyperplane based on equal posterior probability between the classes. The proposed
method is tested on 10 publicly available data sets and the result shows that the proposed
method is statistically superior to other existing oversampling methods.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

In this paper, our goal is to retrieve set of images that are similar to a given query image. In image
retrieval applications, it has been observed that the colour histogram based approach is well
suited, since colour matching generates the strongest perception of similarity to the human eye. It
is often represented in the form of a histogram, which is a first-order statistical measure that
captures the global distribution of colour in a given image. This can be represented in various
forms such as colour histogram [15], colour moments and cumulative colour histogram [16]. A
colour histogram may be generated in the RGB colour space, HSV colour space, YCbCr colour
space, etc. Since, the RGB colour space is having some drawbacks such as, it does not explicitly
distinguish between colour and intensity components, other colour space like HSV, YCbCr,
which separate saturation and intensity components are frequently used. RGB values by suitable
conversions may be computed to get the values for each component in HSV colour space. Some
of the recently proposed colour representatives are colour saliency histogram [23], which
supports human visual attention principle and based on the features of colour, orientation and
intensity and followed by the difference of Gaussians and normalization processing, the
comprehensive saliency map of an image is generated. Recently, circular ring histogram[22] has
been proposed, which has the spatial information. The image is segmented initially using group of
circular rings and then the histogram is constructed using the segmented rings. The statistical
feature of image blocks has been extracted for representing the colour of blocks, which is named
as Order Based Block Colour Feature[19].In this approach image is divided into 48 blocks and
the feature is extracted. In our proposed work, we modify the HCPH histogram [21] to capture the
colour information in high-dense background of images for retrieval applications. The weight
calculated is distributed to the neighbouring bins based on NBS distance and the performance of
the modified HCPH is encouraging while retrieving high-dense background images.
The outline of this paper is as follows. Section 2 presents the related works and proposed
technique is explained in Section 3. In Section 4, the experimental results are presented and we
conclude the paper in the last section
.

In colour-based image retrieval, there are primarily two methods: one based on colour layout[18]
and the other based on colour histogram[3]. In the colour layout approach, two images are
matched by their exact colour distribution. This means that two images are considered close if
they not only have similar colour content, but also if they have similar colour in approximately
the same positions. In the second approach, each image is represented by its colour histogram. A
histogram is a vector, whose components represent a count of the number of pixels having
similar colours in the image. Thus, a colour histogram may be considered to be a signature
extracted from a complete image. Colour histograms extracted from different images are indexed
and stored in a database. During retrieval, the histogram of a query image is compared with the
histogram of each database image using a standard distance metric like Euclidean distance or
Manhattan distance. Since, colour histogram is a global feature of an image, the approaches
based on colour histogram are invariant to translation, rotation and scale.
Various techniques has been proposed to represent the colour of an image [2][7][9][10][14][17].
It is found that robust histogram construction scheme using the HSV colour space in which a
perceptually smooth transition is captured based on the Human Visual Perception of colour
(HCPH) can represent semantic information up to a certain degree, due to the complexity in
background [21]. In colour saliency histogram [24], extraction of salient regions is based on the
bottom-up visual attention model. Although it has introduced prior knowledge in the model, the
bottom-up attention is only suitable for the primary stage of visual perception, it has limitations.
Order-based Block Colour Feature [19] is one type of image’s colour feature. It has an advantage
of the local colour statistical information but it has some bionic traits that this colour feature

cannot alone suffice for CBIR. It has to be combined with other features such as shape, texture,
and so on. Hence, Modified HCPH (MHCPH), which is an improved version of HCPH is
developed. In HCPH, each pixel is divided into true colour component and grey colour
component, in a single iteration. But in MHCPH, we distribute the true colour components and
grey colour components into many levels thus distributing the weights to neighbouring bins based
depending on the weight values and NBS distance.
3. Modified HCPH
Pixels in a image can be represented with the combination of Hue, Saturation and Intensity Value
in the HSV colour space. It is a three dimensional hexacone representation and the central vertical
axis is intensity, I. Hue is an angle in the range [0,2π] and is relative to the red axis with red at
angle 0, green at 2π/3, blue at 4π/3 and red again at 2π[23] respectively. Saturation, S, is
measured as a radial distance from the central axis with value between 0 at the centre to 1 at the
outer surface. This is represented in Fig.1.
Fig 1. HSV Colour Model
The pixel colour is approximated by its intensity or by its hue, say for example while the intensity
is low and saturation is high, a pixel colour is very much close to the grey colour. Similarly for
other combination of intensity and saturation, we can approximate the pixel value the other way.
Therefore, the saturation and intensity values of a pixel are used to determine whether it can be
treated as a true colour pixel or a gray colour pixel. It is emphasized that this approach treats the
pixels as a distribution of “colours” in an image where a pixel may be of a “gray colour” (i.e.,
somewhere between black and white, both inclusive) or of a “true colour” (i.e., somewhere in the
red, green, blue, red spectrum). The reason is that, for an observer, this is what an image
represents is a collection of points having colours – red, yellow, green, blue, black, gray, white,
etc.
In our proposed work, colour information of each pixel is converted to HSV colour space. An
image pixel contains true colour components, in which the dominant factor is hue. Intensity is the
dominant factor for grey colour components. In the first iteration, we calculate true colour
components and grey colour components and they are smoothly (i.e., iteratively) distributed,
based on hue and intensity values of neighbouring pixel. This is shown in Fig.2.

Fig 2. Distribution of true colour and grey colour components
As noticed form Fig. 2, the weights are distributed to the neighbouring bins. The colour
information obtained in first level is taken as reference and is distributed smoothly into more
iteration. In this paper, we have considered five iteration levels. NBS distance [23] is calculated
using true colour and grey colour for distributing the pixel weight to the neighbouring bins. The
distance between true colour weight of reference pixel and its iterative distribution with adjacent
bins is calculated. Since, soft decision is done for a single pixel, saturation appears to be very
small and hence ∆S is considered as 0. The ∆I is considered as the distance calculation and is
only for true colour which is shown in Eq. (1).

In Table.1, we present the NBS distance value, which gives the colour difference with respect to
the human visual perception based on the distance range. Considering the colour difference and
distance, the weight of true colour is distributed. Since, true colour is smoothly distributed and
true colour weight also should be smoothly distributed. As per Eq. (1), for true colour, ∆S and ∆I
remains zero. This is due to the fact that the saturation and intensity distributed difference is
minimum with respect to a single pixel.
Table 1. NBS distance Table
NBS Value Human Perception
0~1.5 Almost the same
1.5~3.0 Slightly different
3.0~6.0 Remarkably different
6.0~12.0 Very different
12.0~ Different colour
5. Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT) 233
For grey colour, ∆S and ∆H remains zero, since saturation and hue difference appears to be very
minimum. Based on these conditions, true colour weight and grey colour weights are distributed.
NBS distance is calculated to the adjacent bins of true colour, it is observed that the immediate
adjacent bin close to the reference bin will lie in the distance ranging from 0~1.5. As per the NBS
table it is “almost the same”. Thus 100% of true colour weight will be distributed to the
immediate adjacent bin. As smooth distribution of hue goes on, the NBS distance is calculated for
all the adjacent bins iteratively. We observe that while distance starts increasing, say in the range
of 1.6~3.0, there is a “slight colour difference”. We divide it into 3 groups with 15 iterations.
Now, the weight is distributed from 99 to 85. When the distance is measured with respect to the
adjacent bins in the range of 3.1~6.0, there is a “remarkable colour difference” range. Hence, we
have divided it into 6 groups with 30 iterations and weight distribution starts from 84 to 55. As
distance increases, the colour difference will be more, which may lie in the range of 6.1~12.0 and
is represented as “very different colour”. We divide it into 12 groups with 60 iterations and
weight distribution starts from 54 to 00, if distance is greater than 12.0, then it is totally different
colour and weight distribution is 0%.
The percentage of weight distribution to the adjacent bins is calculated using Eq. (2) and the same
is represented in the form of tree in Fig.3.

During grey colour weight distribution, intensity is distributed iteratively or smoothly. However,
we need not apply NBS distance, since the colour difference is very minimum. Thus, we
distribute our grey colour weight using Eq. (3).

4. Experimental Results
In CBIR application, Precision and Recall are used as parameters for evaluating the performance.
Precision is the ratio of the number of the relevant images retrieved to the total number of the
irrelevant and relevant images retrieved. Precision is defined as:
Precision ====
r
r
T
R
(4)
Where rR is number of relevant images retrieved. rT is the total images retrieved.
Recall is defined as the ratio of the number of relevant images retrieved to the total number of the
relevant images in the database. Recall is a measure of completeness.
Recall =
T
Rr
(5)
Where rR is number of relevant images retrieved. T is the total relevant images retrieved.
In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, coral benchmark database images
are used, which consists of 10 classes such as people, vehicle, building, flower, horses, etc. In
experiments, the HSV colour space is chosen for chromatic image processing. We have selected
large number of query images from different categories and retrieved the result for each query.
Average Precision and Recall is calculated and is shown in the Fig.4. From the figure ,It is
observed that for lower values of recall, the precision is getting higher, which is greater than 65%.
Similarly, for higher value of recall, the precision is comparable and the performance of the
proposed method is encouraging.
Fig 4. Average Precision versus Recall
In addition, we have compared the performance of the proposed method with DCT histogram
quantization algorithm [12] and are shown in Table.2. In the DCT Histogram Quantization, due to
the complex background with respect to a object, the efficiency in the retrieval rate of relevant
images has gone down to 40% in the sample dataset of elephant. However, for Dinosaurs
category, the precision of has increased to 99%. Here, the retrieval rate is highly dependent on the
content of background. However, the precision rate is not completely influenced by the
background content of the images on the proposed approach.

Elephant 0.60 0.40
Since, weight is smoothly distributed to neighbouring bins based on the true colour and gray
colour weight, the entire information of the background as well as the object is captured and thus
the precision retrieval is 60%. Fig.5 and Fig.6 depicts sample retrieval result for both the
proposed and DCT based histogram. The image on the top centre is the query and the rest of the
image below is the retrieved image set.

5.Conclusion
In this paper, we have proposed content based image retrieval technique using MHCPH. By
extracting the colour features of each pixel of the image, the smooth distribution is done with
8. 236 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
respect to true colour and grey colour. Manhattan distance is used to measure the similarity
distance in order to retrieve the similar images from the database. In our work, we took only
colour feature and smoothly distributed its information for effective retrieval. However, further
increase in the iterations, will certainly improve the retrieval results with high precision and
recall. Thus, further care will be taken to balance both of these parameters. For future work, we
plan to improve the rate of retrieval by adding more iterations and adding extra features such as
texture and shape with the colour to improve the relevance.
