Removal of Transformation Errors by Quarterion In Multi View Image RegistrationIDES Editor
This method is based upon the image registration
process and the application is when the text which is to be
identified is behind the mesh which works as a hurdle. We
know that the mesh as hurdle can be made less irritating by
either moving the camera or the source itself. The method
uses Radon Transform for extracting the mesh lines and
capturing the position of the mesh lines. The final process of
filling the deformed image is through the registration. The
method is adaptive to movement in any direction. The
transformation errors are removed by the Quarterions. It was
tested on a number of images [200] approximately and gave
excellent results.

LucidWorks App for Splunk Enterprise is the first of its kind, specifically designed to allow companies to analyze and manage the health and availability of their Solr deployments in Splunk software. The solution integrates multi-structured data indexed by Solr directly into Splunk® Enterprise, giving system administrators the ability to look at the intersection of documents, customer records or other unstructured data sources as they relate to machine data. This enables companies to optimize their Solr applications, glean insights from search and usage patterns and spot security concerns to improve end user experiences and derive more business value from data-driven applications.
This webinar will explore the features of the App, and provide attendees with valuable information on the following key components:
Solr Monitor: Monitor the health and availability and utilization of LucidWorks and/or Solr deployments with pre-defined data inputs, dashboards and reports
Search Analytics: Perform user behavior and click-stream analysis with pre-built search analytics reports and fields
NoSQL Lookups: Using Splunk’s lookup facility enrich your Splunk reports with data of any structure using Solr’s fully indexed and searchable NoSQL-datastore
Search Time Joins: Join Splunk data with human generated and other unstructured data sources stored in Solr at search time for developing data-driven applications

Splunk Inc. is a public company, founded in 2004 with the goal of providing a universal platform for machine data.
Make machine data accessible, usable and valuable to everyone.
We have more than 9,000 global customers with deployments ranging from home use to massive enterprises indexing 250TB of data a day.
So what is machine data?
Every machine on the planet, from internal servers and applications to call center hardware and the networks they run on to social media all generate some kind of structured or unstructured machine data.
Within that machine data are critical insights about the performance availability and value of business services provided to the end user.
But there is a challenge with this Machine Data. It is growing exponentially.
But there is a big challenge with this Machine Data. It is growing exponentially both in volume as well as complexity. – And that’s where Splunk comes in.
No matter what type of machine data the systems powering your business produce, Splunk can collect and index that data in real-time; allowing you to immediately explore, Analyze and visualize that data, and achieving what we at Splunk refer to as “Operational Intelligence”.
As machine data flows into Splunk, it is compressed and stored on local storage or a SAN for real-time investigation and alerting of incidents or Security challenges.
NoSQL Datastores can be used to store longer-term machine data not required for real-time analysis or can be queried directly to correlate the petabytes of unstructured NoSQL Datastore data with the unlimited types of Machine data indexed by Splunk.
In addition to a wizard-driven console for easily visualizing all of your data, Splunk provides a full development platform for collecting new Machine Data types or sharing data with third party products, ticketing systems or custom interfaces.
All of this is done without the limitation of a back end relational database. Which means the integrity of your data is never compromised, any field within your machine data is fair game for investigation, and scalability is never an issue.
Machine data is useful across both IT and the Business. Splunk use cases range from standard IT Operations management to Security and Business Analytics.
Splunk Dashboards are easy to generate and customize to meet the needs of a wide variety of roles within your organization.
And no matter how much machine data is generated by your business processes and services, Splunk can scale to meet your needs.
Splunk Forwarders are lightweight components which collect Machine data throughout your environment. Forwarder deployment is highly customizable, you can have the forwarder remotely collect data or place the forwarder locally on hundreds of thousands of devices as some of our customers do.
Forwarders automatically load-balance their collected machine data across a pool of Indexers, which scale horizontally on commodity hardware to adjust to your growing pool of Machine Data.
Search Heads initiate map-reduced searches across the indexer tier, combine and return the results to the Splunk console or your interface of choice.
Like Indexers, Search Heads can scale horizontally to meet your needs on commodity hardware.
Even if an entire datacenter were to go down, Splunk’s ability to replicate data across sites ensures a true high availability environment.
Finally, Splunk’s robust community of users and partners have created more than 500 apps which plug into Splunk Enterprise to get you up and running quickly.
The vast majority of these apps are free. Some apps, which have dedicated SCRUM development and support teams are charged for.
For Example:
HUNK is an application which provides easy NoSQL Connectivity, Search, and Reporting capabilities across your NoSQL nodes
The Exchange App provides out of the box monitoring of your email environment
The VM Ware app monitors virtual environments.
And Splunk’s Enterprise Security app provides Security Analysts with the ability to search across all Machine Data within an environment, not just data limited by a particular SIEM; which has propelled Splunk to a “Leader” in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security.
And finally, I would like to encourage all of you to attend our user conference in September.
The energy level and passion that our customers bring to this event is simply electrifying.
Combined with inspirational keynotes and 150+ breakout session across all areas of operational intelligence,
It is simply the best forum to bring our Splunk community together, to learn about new and advanced Splunk offerings, and most of all to learn from one another.
