Facial expression analysis is a remarkable and demanding problem, and impacts significant applications in various fields like human-computer interaction and data-driven animation. Developing an efficient facial representation from the original face images is a crucial step for achieving facial expression recognition. Facial representation based on statistical local features, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) is practically assessed. Several machine learning techniques were thoroughly observed on various databases. LBP features- which are effectual and competent for facial expression recognition are generally used by researchers Cohn Kanade is the database for present work and the programming language used is MATLAB. Firstly, face area is divided in small regions, by which histograms, Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are extracted and then concatenated into single feature vector. This feature vector outlines a well-organized representation of face and is helpful in determining the resemblance among images.
Facial Expression Recognition System Based on SVM and HOG TechniquesCSCJournals
Facial expression is one of the most commonly used nonverbal means by humans to transmit internal emotional states and, therefore, it plays a fundamental role in interpersonal interactions. Although there is a wide range of possible facial expressions, psychologists have identified six fundamental ones (happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear and disgust) that are universally recognized. Automatic facial expression recognition (FER) is a topic of growing interest mainly due to the rapid spread of assistive technology applications, as human–robot interaction, where a robust emotional awareness is a key point to best accomplish the assistive task. The proposed work aims to design a robust facial expression recognition system (FER). FER system can be divided into three modules, namely facial registration, feature extraction and classification. The objective of this work is the recognition of facial expressions based the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm.

Pose and Illumination in Face Recognition Using Enhanced Gabor LBP & PCA IJMER
This paper presents the face recognition based on Enhanced GABOR LBP and PCA. Some
of the challenges in face recognition are occlusion, pose and illumination .In this paper, we are more
focused on varying pose and illumination. We divided this algorithm into five stages. First stage finds
the fiducial points on face using Gabor filter bank as this filter is well known for illumination
compensation. Second stage applies the morphological techniques for reduce useless fiducial points.
Third stage applies the LBP on reduced fiducial points with neighborhood pixel for improving the pose
variation. Forth stage uses PCA to detect the best variance points which are necessary to characterize
the training images. The last recognition stage includes finding the Euclidean norm of the feature
weight vectors with the test weight vector. In this project, we used 20 images of 20 different persons
from ORL database for training. For testing, we used images with varying illumination, pose and
occluded images of the same training

Enhanced Face Detection Based on Haar-Like and MB-LBP FeaturesDr. Amarjeet Singh
The effective real-time face detection framework
proposed by Viola and Jones gained much popularity due its
computational efficiency and its simplicity. A notable
variant replaces the original Haar-like features with MBLBP (Multi-Block Local Binary Pattern) which are defined
by the local binary pattern operator, both detector types are
integrated into the OpenCV library. However, each
descriptor and its evaluation method has its own set of
strengths and setbacks. In this paper, an enhanced two-layer
face detector composed of both Haar-like and MB-LBP
features is presented. Haar-like features are employed as a
coarse filter but with a new evaluation involving dual
threshold. The already established MB-LBPs are arranged
as the fine filter of the detector. The Gentle AdaBoost
learning algorithm is deployed for the training of the
proposed detector to reach the classification and
performance potential. Experiments show that in the early
stages of classification, Haar features with dual threshold
are more discriminative than MB-LBP and original Haarlike features with respect to number of features required
and computation. Benchmarking the proposed detector
demonstrate overall 12% higher detection rate at 17% false
alarm over using MB-LBP features singly while performing
with ×3 speedup.
Facial Expression Detection for video sequences using local feature extractio...sipij
Facial expression image analysis can either be in the form of
static image analysis or dynamic temporal 3D image or video analysis.
The former involves static images taken on an individual at a specific
point in time and is in 2-dimensional format. The latter involves dynamic textures extraction of video sequences extended in a temporal
domain. Dynamic texture analysis involves short term facial expression
movements in 3D in a temporal or spatial domain. Two feature extraction algorithms are used in 3D facial expression analysis namely holistic
and local algorithms. Holistic algorithms analyze the whole face whilst
the local algorithms analyze a facial image in small components namely
nose, mouth, cheek and forehead. The paper uses a popular local feature
extraction algorithm called LBP-TOP, dynamic image features based on
video sequences in a temporal domain. Volume Local Binary Patterns
combine texture, motion and appearance. VLBP and LBP-TOP outperformed other approaches by including local facial feature extraction
algorithms which are resistant to gray-scale modifications and computation. It is also crucial to note that these emotions being natural reactions, recognition of feature selection and edge detection from the video
sequences can increase accuracy and reduce the error rate. This can be
achieved by removing unimportant information from the facial images.
The results showed better percentage recognition rate by using local facial extraction algorithms like local binary patterns and local directional
patterns than holistic algorithms like GLCM and Linear Discriminant
Analysis. The study proposes local binary pattern variant LBP-TOP,
local directional patterns and support vector machines aided by genetic
algorithms for feature selection. The study was based on Facial Expressions and Emotions (FEED) and CK+ image sources.

A Spectral Domain Local Feature Extraction Algorithm for Face RecognitionCSCJournals
In this paper, a spectral domain feature extraction algorithm for face recognition is proposed, which efficiently exploits the local spatial variations in a face image. For the purpose of feature extraction, instead of considering the entire face image, an entropy-based local band selection criterion is developed, which selects high-informative horizontal bands from the face image. In order to capture the local variations within these high-informative horizontal bands precisely, a feature selection algorithm based on two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (2D-DFT) is proposed. Magnitudes corresponding to the dominant 2D-DFT coefficients are selected as features and shown to provide high within-class compactness and high between-class separability. A principal component analysis is performed to further reduce the dimensionality of the feature space. Extensive experimentations have been carried out upon standard face databases and the recognition performance is compared with some of the existing face recognition schemes. It is found that the proposed method offers not only computational savings but also a very high degree of recognition accuracy.

Face image is an efficient biometric trait to recognize human beings without expecting any co-operation from a person. In this paper, we propose HVDLP: Horizontal Vertical Diagonal Local Pattern based face recognition using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP). The face images of different sizes are converted into uniform size of 108×990and color images are converted to gray scale images in pre-processing. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on pre-processed images and LL band is obtained with the size of 54×45. The Novel concept of HVDLP is introduced in the proposed method to enhance the performance. The HVDLP is applied on 9×9 sub matrix of LL band to consider HVDLP coefficients. The local Binary Pattern (LBP) is applied on HVDLP of LL band. The final features are generated by using Guided filters on HVDLP and LBP matrices. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to compare final features of face database and test images to compute the performance parameters.

Facial Expression Recognition Using SVM Classifierijeei-iaes
Facial feature tracking and facial actions recognition from image sequence attracted great attention in computer vision field. Computational facial expression analysis is a challenging research topic in computer vision. It is required by many applications such as human-computer interaction, computer graphic animation and automatic facial expression recognition. In recent years, plenty of computer vision techniques have been developed to track or recognize the facial activities in three levels. First, in the bottom level, facial feature tracking, which usually detects and tracks prominent landmarks surrounding facial components (i.e., mouth, eyebrow, etc), captures the detailed face shape information; Second, facial actions recognition, i.e., recognize facial action units (AUs) defined in FACS, try to recognize some meaningful facial activities (i.e., lid tightener, eyebrow raiser, etc); In the top level, facial expression analysis attempts to recognize some meaningful facial activities (i.e., lid tightener, eyebrow raiser, etc); In the top level, facial expression analysis attempts to recognize facial expressions that represent the human emotion states. In this proposed algorithm initially detecting eye and mouth, features of eye and mouth are extracted using Gabor filter, (Local Binary Pattern) LBP and PCA is used to reduce the dimensions of the features. Finally SVM is used to classification of expression and facial action units.

Partially Replacement of Clay by S.T.P. Sludge in Brick ManufacturingAM Publications
In many countries, sludge is a serious problem due to its high treatment costs and the risks to environment and human health. The sludge presents increasingly difficult problem to cities of all sizes because of the scarcity of suitable disposal sites, increasing labour costs, and environmental concerns. The study investigated the use of water treatment sludge incorporated with clay. In this study bricks were produced with sewage sludge additions ranging from 20, 25, 30 and 40% by dry weight respectively and compare produce brick with regular brick. Bricks with a sludge content of up to 40 % were capable of meeting the relevant technical standards. However, if bricks with more than 30 % sludge addition are not recommended for use because they are brittle in nature and easily broken even when handled gently as well as colour is not as per the requirement. Also from this investigation me can solve disposal problem completely and also construct and economical structure with easy designing.
Studying the effects of Fibers and Mineral Admixtures on High Strength ConcreteAM Publications
This paper investigates on analyzing the effects of use of fibers and mineral admixtures in the mechanical
properties of high strength concrete. This study involves the use of different mineral admixtures like fly ash, ground
granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume along with steel fibers. It also includes determination of mix proportioning with
different mineral admixtures and steel fibers, determination of water binder ratio, determination of basic properties of
concrete such as tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and water permeability. One of the main tasks of
the construction industry is to increase the strength and reliability of structures while reducing construction costs.
Effective use of fiber reinforced concrete is likely to lead to reduction in reinforcement. In the previous studies, very less
research is carried out on use of fibers with a combination of two or more admixtures. Hence, it is felt that there is a need
to explore the feasibility of arriving at an optimum mix using a combination of fibers with two or more mineral
admixtures, so as to increase the properties at minimum cost.

Multi Local Feature Selection Using Genetic Algorithm For Face IdentificationCSCJournals
Face recognition is a biometric authentication method that has become more significant and relevant in recent years. It is becoming a more mature technology that has been employed in many large scale systems such as Visa Information System, surveillance access control and multimedia search engine. Generally, there are three categories of approaches for recognition, namely global facial feature, local facial feature and hybrid feature. Although the global facial-based feature approach is the most researched area, this approach is still plagued with many difficulties and drawbacks due to factors such as face orientation, illumination, and the presence of foreign objects. This paper presents an improved offline face recognition algorithm based on a multi-local feature selection approach for grayscale images. The approach taken in this work consists of five stages, namely face detection, facial feature (eyes, nose and mouth) extraction, moment generation, facial feature classification and face identification. Subsequently, these stages were applied to 3065 images from three distinct facial databases, namely ORL, Yale and AR. The experimental results obtained have shown that recognition rates of more than 89% have been achieved as compared to other global-based features and local facial-based feature approaches. The results also revealed that the technique is robust and invariant to translation, orientation, and scaling.

A Review on Feature Extraction Techniques and General Approach for Face Recog...Editor IJCATR
In recent time, alongwith the advances and new inventions in science and technology, fraud people and identity thieves are
also becoming smarter by finding new ways to fool the authorization and authentication process. So, there is a strong need of efficient
face recognition process or computer systems capable of recognizing faces of authenticated persons. One way to make face recognition
efficient is by extracting features of faces. Several feature extraction techniques are available such as template based, appearancebased,
geometry based, color segmentation based, etc. This paper presents an overview of various feature extraction techniques

Feature Fusion and Classifier Ensemble Technique for Robust Face RecognitionCSCJournals
Face recognition is an important part of the broader biometric security systems research. In the past, researchers have explored either the Feature Space or the Classifier Space at a time to achieve efficient face recognition. In this work, both the Feature Space optimization as well as the Classifier Space optimization have been used to achieve improved results. The efficient technique of Feature Fusion in the Feature Space and Classifier Ensemble technique in the Classifier Space have been used to achieve robust and efficient face recognition. In the Feature Space, the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) features have been extracted from face images and these have been used for classification purposes after Feature Fusion using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In the Classifier Space, a Classifier Ensemble has been used, utilizing the bagging technique for ensemble training, instead of a single classifier for efficient classification. Proper selections of various parameters of the DWT, HOG features and the Classification Ensemble have been considered to achieve optimum performance. The proposed classification technique has been applied to the AT&T (ORL) and Yale benchmark face recognition databases, and we have achieved excellent results of 99.78% and 97.72% classification accuracy respectively. The proposed Feature Fusion and Classifier Ensemble technique has been subjected to sensitivity analysis and it has been found to be robust under reduced spatial resolution conditions.

PEDESTRIAN DETECTION IN LOW RESOLUTION VIDEOS USING A MULTI-FRAME HOG-BASED D...AM Publications
Detecting pedestrians in low resolution videos is a challenging task, due to the small size of pedestrians in the images and the limited information. In practical outdoor surveillance scenarios the pedestrian size is usually small. Existing state-of-the-art pedestrian detection methods that use histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features have poor performance in this problem domain. To compensate for the lack of information in a single frame, we propose a novel detection method that recognizes pedestrians in a short sequence of frames. Namely, we take the single-frame HOG-based detector and extend it to multiple frames. Our detector is applied to regions containing potential moving objects. In the case of video taken from a moving camera on an aerial platform, video stabilization is first performed to register the frames. A classifier is then applied to features extracted from spatio-temporal volumes surrounding the potential moving objects. On challenging stationary and aerial video datasets, our detection accuracy outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms.
The aim of this paper is to help the blind people to identify and catch the public transport vehicles with the help of Light Fidelity technology. It is a Navigation aid. When the bus arrives at the bus stand, transmitter in the bus transmits the light signals and receiver in the stick, receives the light signals and a sound signal is generated through the speaker present in the stick. The sound message contains the bus number and the destination of the bus. In addition to this, if the person is absconded or lost, details of the location will be sent to his/her family members by pressing a button. This is made possible with the help of Global System for Mobile (GSM). Finally, presence of water can be detected along the blind person’s path, with the help of water sensors.
EFFECT OF SILICON - RUBBER (SR) SHEETS AS AN ALTERNATIVE FILTER ON HIGH AND L...AM Publications
A digital radiography delivers a radiation dose to patients; therefore it poses potential risk to the patients. One effort to reduce dose is carried out using a radiation filter, e.g. Silicone Rubber (SR) sheet. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of the SR sheet on the high contrast objects (HCO) and the low contrast objects (LCO). The dose reduction was determined from attenuation x-rays before and after using the SR sheet. Assessment of HCO and LCO was observed from CDR TOR phantom at tube voltage of 48 kVp and tube current of 8 mAs. The physical parameter to assess image quality was the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) value in LCO. The maximum x-ray attenuation using the SR sheet is 48.82%. The visibility of the HCO remains the same, namely 16 objects; however the LCO slighly decreases from 14 objects to 13 objects after using the SR sheet. The SNR value decreases with an average value of 15.17%.Therefore, the SR sheet as a alternative filter has no effect on the HCO and has realtively little effect on the LCO. Thus, the SR sheet potentially is used for radiation protection in patients, especially on examinations that do not require low contrast resolution.

REPRESENTATION OF THE BLOCK DATA ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM IN AN ANALYTICAL FORM F...AM Publications
The article presents the study of cryptographic transformations of the Kuznyechik algorithm in relation to differential analysis and the translation of their representations into a more convenient form for cryptanalysis. A simplification of the type of transformations of the algorithm to algebraic the form, in which cryptanalysis software will be more effective. Since the description of the algorithm in the analytical form allows for 16 cycles of execution of the shift register with linear feedback, each of which will be carried out 16 operations of multiplication and 15 operations of addition, reduced to 16 multiplying and 15 the operations of addition. The result is an algebraic form of a linear transformation (from a shift register with linear feedback to the multiplication of the matrix in a finite field). In the future, the algebraic type of transformation can be used to effectively carry out differential cryptanalysis.
Optical character recognition (OCR) is process of classification of optical patterns contained in a digital image. The process of OCR Recognition involves several steps including pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, classification. Pre-processing is for done the basic operation on input image like noise reduction which remove the noisy signal from image. Segmentation stage for segment the given image into line by line and segment each character from segmented line. Future extraction calculates the characteristics of character. A Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is used to classification contains the database and does the comparison.
Surveillance refers to the task of observing a scene, often for lengthy periods in search of particular objects or particular behaviour. This task has many applications, foremost among them is security (monitoring for undesirable behaviour such as theft or vandalism), but increasing numbers of others in areas such as agriculture also exist. Historically, closed circuit TV (CCTV) surveillance has been mundane and labour Intensive, involving personnel scanning multiple screens, but the advent of reasonably priced fast hardware means that automatic surveillance is becoming a realistic task to attempt in real time. Several attempts at this are underway.
SIMULATION OF ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTANTS DISPERSION IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENTAM Publications
Interest in air pollution investigation of urban environment due to existence of industrial and commercial activities along with vehicular emission and existence of buildings and streets which setup natural barrier for pollutant dispersion in the urban environment has increased. The air pollution modelling is a multidisciplinary subject when the entire cities are taken under consideration where urban planning and geometries are complex which needs a large software packages to be developed like Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM), California Line Source model (CALINE series) etc. On overviewing various works it can be summarized that the air pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons and all linked phenomenon such as wind flow, pollutant concentrations, temperature distribution etc. generally depend on wind speed and direction, building heights and density, road width, source and intensity of air pollution, meteorological variables like temperature, humidity etc. A unique and surprising case is observed every time on numerous combinations of these factors. The main aim of this study is to simulate the atmospheric pollutant dispersion for given pollutant like carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and given atmospheric conditions like wind speed and direction. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for analysing the atmospheric pollutant dispersion is done after natural airflow analysis. Volume rendering is done for variables such as phase 2 volume fraction and velocity with resolution as 250 pixels per inch and transparency as 20%. It can be observed that all the three pollutant namely nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide the phase 2 volume fraction changes from 0 to 1. The wind velocity changes from 3.395×10-13 m/s to 1.692×102 m/s. The dispersion of pollutants follow the sequence Sulphur dioxide>Carbon monoxide>Nitrogen dioxide.

ANALYSIS ON LOAD BALANCING ALGORITHMS IMPLEMENTATION ON CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIR...AM Publications
Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. The elements involved in cloud computing are clients, data center and distributed server. One of the main problems in cloud computing is load balancing. Balancing the load means to distribute the workload among several nodes evenly so that no single node will be overloaded. Load can be of any type that is it can be CPU load, memory capacity or network load. In this paper we presented an architecture of load balancing and algorithm which will further improve the load balancing problem by minimizing the response time. In this paper, we have proposed the enhanced version of existing regulated load balancing approach for cloud computing by comping the Randomization and greedy load balancing algorithm. To check the performance of proposed approach, we have used the cloud analyst simulator (Cloud Analyst). Through simulation analysis, it has been found that proposed improved version of regulated load balancing approach has shown better performance in terms of cost, response time and data processing time.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
