The document describes a novel method for localizing the pupil in eye gaze tracking systems. The proposed method fuses existing pupil localization techniques, including Hough transform, gray projection, and coarse positioning. This fusion approach aims to improve localization accuracy while lowering false detections. The method first preprocesses the eye image using filtering, edge detection, and thresholding/binarization. It then applies the fused techniques of Hough transform, gray projection, and coarse positioning to the preprocessed image to accurately detect the pupil boundary and center coordinates in a robust manner. The results are expected to provide better pupil localization compared to existing individual techniques.
Proposition of local automatic algorithm for landmark detection in 3D cephalo...journalBEEI
This study proposes a new contribution to solve the problem of automatic landmarks detection in three-dimensional cephalometry. 3D images obtained from CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) equipment were used for automatic identification of twelve landmarks. The proposed method is based on a local geometry and intensity criteria of skull structures. After the step of preprocessing and binarization, the algorithm segments the skull into three structures using the geometry information of nasal cavity and intensity information of the teeth. Each targeted landmark was detected using local geometrical information of the volume of interest containing this landmark. The ICC and confidence interval (95% CI) for each direction were 0, 91 (0.75 to 0.96) for x- direction; 0.92 (0.83 to 0.97) for y-direction; 0.92 (0.79 to 0.97) for z-direction. The mean error of detection was calculated using the Euclidian distance between the 3D coordinates of manually and automatically detected landmarks. The overall mean error of the algorithm was 2.76 mm with a standard deviation of 1.43 mm. Our proposed approach for automatic landmark identification in 3D cephalometric was capable of detecting 12 landmarks on 3D CBCT images which can be facilitate the use of 3D cephalometry to orthodontists.

Iris Localization - a Biometric Approach Referring Daugman's AlgorithmEditor IJCATR
In general, there are many methods of biometric identification. But the Iris
recognition is most accurate and secure means of biometric identification. Iris has
many properties which makes it ideal biometric identification. There are many
methods used to identify the Iris location. To locate Iris many traditional methods are
used. In this we proposed such methods which can identify Iris Center(IC) as well as
localize its center. In this paper we are proposing a method which can use novel IC
localization method on the fact that the elliptical shape (ES) of Iris varies according to
the rotation of eye movement. In this paper various IC locations are generated and
stored in database. Finally the location of IC is detected by matching the ES of the Iris
of input eye image withes candidates in DB. In this paper we are comparing different
methods for Iris localization.

Pupil Detection Based on Color Difference and Circular Hough Transform IJECEIAES
Human pupil eye detection is a significant stage in iris segmentation which is representing one of the most important steps in iris recognition. In this paper, we present a new method of highly accurate pupil detection. This method is consisting of many steps to detect the boundary of the pupil. First, the read eye image (R, G, B), then determine the work area which is consist of many steps to detect the boundary of the pupil. The determination of the work area contains many circles which are larger than pupil region. The work area is necessary to determine pupil region and neighborhood regions afterward the difference in color and intensity between pupil region and surrounding area is utilized, where the pupil region has color and intensity less than surrounding area. After the process of detecting pupil region many steps on the resulting image is applied in order to concentrate the pupil region and delete the others regions by using many methods such as dilation, erosion, canny filter, circle hough transforms to detect pupil region as well as apply optimization to choose the best circle that represents the pupil area. The proposed method is applied for images from palacky university, it achieves to 100 % accuracy

Reeb Graph for Automatic 3D CephalometryCSCJournals
The purpose of this study is to present a method of three-dimensional computed tomographic (3D-CT) cephalometrics and its use to study cranio/maxilla-facial malformations. We propose a system for automatic localization of cephalometric landmarks using reeb graphs. Volumetric images of a patient were reconstructed into 3D mesh. The proposed method is carried out in three steps: we begin by applying 3d mesh skull simplification, this mesh was reconstructed from a head volumetric medical image, and then we extract a reeb graph. Reeb graph mesh extraction represents a skeleton composed in a number of nodes and arcs. We are interested in the node position; we noted that some reeb nodes could be considered as cephalometric landmarks under specific conditions. The third step is to identify these nodes automatically by using elastic mesh registration using “thin plate” transformation and clustering. Preliminary results show a landmarks recognition rate of more than 90%, very close to the manually provided landmarks positions made by a medical stuff.
AN AUTOMATIC SCREENING METHOD TO DETECT OPTIC DISC IN THE RETINAijait
The location of Optic Disc (OD) is of critical importance in retinal image analysis. This research paper carries out a new automated methodology to detect the optic disc (OD) in retinal images. OD detection helps the ophthalmologists to find whether the patient is affected by diabetic retinopathy or not. The proposed technique is to use line operator which gives higher percentage of detection than the already existing methods. The purpose of this project is to automatically detect the position of the OD in digital retinal fundus images. The method starts with converting the RGB image input into its LAB component. This image is smoothed using bilateral smoothing filter. Further, filtering is carried out using line operator. After which gray orientation and binary map orientation is carried out and then with the use of the resulting maximum image variation the area of the presence of the OD is found. The portions other
than OD are blurred using 2D circular convolution. On applying mathematical steps like peak classification, concentric circles design and image difference calculation, OD is detected. The proposed method was evaluated using a subset of the STARE project’s dataset and the success percentage was found
to be 96%.
The optic disc (OD) is one of the important part of the eye for detecting various diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma. The localization of optic disc is extremely important for determining hard exudates and lesions. Diagnosis of the disease can prevent people from vision loss. This paper analyzes various techniques which are proposed by different authors for the exact localization of optic disc to prevent vision loss.
Binary operation based hard exudate detection and fuzzy based classification ...IJECEIAES
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most considerable reasons for visual impairment. The main objective of this paper is to automatically detect and recognize DR lesions like hard exudates, as it helps in diagnosing and screening of the disease. Here, binary operation based image processing for detecting lesions and fuzzy logic based extraction of hard exudates on diabetic retinal images are discused. In the initial stage, the binary operations are used to identify the exudates. Similarly, the RGB channel space of the DR image is used to create fuzzy sets and membership functions for extracting the exudates. The membership directives obtained from the fuzzy rule set are used to detect the grade of exudates. In order to evaluate the proposed approach, experiment tests are carriedout on various set of images and the results are verified. From the experiment results, the sensitivity obtained is 98.10%, specificity is 96.96% and accuracy is 98.2%. These results suggest that the proposed method could be a diagnostic aid for ophthalmologists in the screening for DR.
In this paper, we present an automatic application of 3D face recognition system using geodesic distance in Riemannian geometry. We consider, in this approach, the three dimensional face images as residing in Riemannian manifold and we compute the geodesic distance using the Jacobi iterations as a solution of the Eikonal equation. The problem of solving the Eikonal equation, unstructured simplified meshes of 3D face surface, such as tetrahedral and triangles are important for accurately modeling material interfaces and curved domains, which are approximations to curved surfaces in R3. In the classifying steps, we use: Neural Networks (NN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). To test this method and evaluate its performance, a simulation series of experiments were performed on 3D Shape REtrieval Contest 2008 database (SHREC2008).
Robust 3 d face recognition in presence ofijfcstjournal
In this paper, we propose a robust 3D face recognition system which can handle pose as well as occlusions
in real world. The system at first takes as input, a 3D range image, simultaneously registers it using
ICP(Iterative Closest Point) algorithm. ICP used in this work, registers facial surfaces to a common model
by minimizing distances between a probe model and a gallery model. However the performance of ICP
relies heavily on the initial conditions. Hence, it is necessary to provide an initial registration, which will
be improved iteratively and finally converge to the best alignment possible. Once the faces are registered,
the occlusions are automatically extracted by thresholding the depth map values of the 3D image. After the
occluded regions are detected, restoration is done by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The restored
images, after the removal of occlusions, are then fed to the recognition system for classification purpose.
Features are extracted from the reconstructed non-occluded face images in the form of face normals. The
experimental results which were obtained on the occluded facial images from the Bosphorus 3D face
database, illustrate that our occlusion compensation scheme has attained a recognition accuracy of
91.30%.
IRIS BIOMETRIC RECOGNITION SYSTEM EMPLOYING CANNY OPERATORcscpconf
Biometrics has become important in security applications. In comparison with many other biometric features, iris recognition has very high recognition accuracy because it depends on
iris which is located in a place that still stable throughout human life and the probability to find two identical iris's is close to zero. The identification system consists of several stages including
segmentation stage which is the most serious and critical one. The current segmentation methods still have limitation in localizing the iris due to circular shape consideration of the
pupil. In this research, Daugman method is done to investigate the segmentation techniques. Eyelid detection is another step that has been included in this study as a part of segmentation
stage to localize the iris accurately and remove unwanted area that might be included. The obtained iris region is encoded using haar wavelets to construct the iris code, which contains
the most discriminating feature in the iris pattern. Hamming distance is used for comparison of iris templates in the recognition stage. The dataset which is used for the study is UBIRIS database. A comparative study of different edge detector operator is performed. It is observed that canny operator is best suited to extract most of the edges to generate the iris code for comparison. Recognition rate of 89% and rejection rate of 95% is achieved.
Automatic detection of optic disc and blood vessels from retinal images using...eSAT Journals
Abstract Diabetic retinopathy is the common cause of blindness. This paper presents the mathematical morphology method to detect and eliminate the optic disc (OD) and the blood vessels. Detection of optic disc and the blood vessels are the necessary steps in the detection of diabetic retinopathy because the blood vessels and the optic disc are the normal features of the retinal image. And also, the optic disc and the exudates are the brightest portion of the image. Detection of optic disc and the blood vessels can help the ophthalmologists to detect the diseases earlier and faster. Optic disc and the blood vessels are detected and eliminated by using mathematical morphology methods such as closing, filling, morphological reconstruction and Otsu algorithm. The objective of this paper is to detect the normal features of the image. By using the result, the ophthalmologists can detect the diseases easily. Keywords: Blood vessels, Diabetic retinopathy, mathematical morphology, Otsu algorithm, optic disc (OD)

Coutinho A Depth Compensation Method For Cross Ratio Based Eye TrackingKalle
Traditional cross-ratio methods (TCR) project a light pattern and use invariant properties of projective geometry to estimate the gaze position. Advantages of the TCR methods include robustness to large head movements and in general requires just a one time per user calibration. However, the accuracy of TCR methods decay significantly for head movements along the camera optical axis, mainly due to the angular difference between the optical and visual axis of the eye. In this paper we propose a depth compensation cross-ratio (DCR) method that improves the accuracy of TCR methods for large head depth variations. Our solution compensates the angular offset using a 2D onscreen vector computed from a simple calibration procedure. The length of the 2D vector, which varies with head distance, is adjusted by a scale factor that is estimated from relative size variations of the corneal reflection pattern. The proposed DCR solution was compared to a TCR method using synthetic and real data from 2 users. An average improvement of 40% was observed with synthetic data, and 8% with the real data.
An Automatic ROI of The Fundus Photography IJECEIAES
The Region of interest (ROI) of the fundus photography is an important task in medical image processing. It contains a lot of information related to the diagnosis of the retinal disease. So the determination of this ROI is a very influential first step in fundus image processing later. This research proposed a threshold method of segmentation to determine ROI of the fundus photography automatically. Data to be elaborated were the fundus photography’s of 13 patients, captured using Nonmyd7 camera of Kowa Company Ltd in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. The results of this processing could determine ROI automatically. The automatic cropping successfully omits as much as possible the non-medical areas shown as dark background, while still maintaining the whole medical areas, comprised the posterior pole of retina captured through the pupil. Thus, this method is helpful in further image processing of posterior areas. We hope that this research will be useful for researchers.
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading complication of diabetes and also one of the leading preventable blindness. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent such condition or in other words, annoyance of the disease may be overcome. The fundus images produced by automated fundus camera are often noisy making it difficult for doctors to precisely detect the abnormalities in fundus images. In the present paper, we propose to use vessel extraction of Retinal image enhancement and implemented in Raspberry Pi board using opencv library for faster execution and cost effective processing unit which helps during mass screening of diabetic retinopathy. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is evaluated using different metrics and Micro-aneurysms. Finally, a considerable improvement in the enhancement of the Diabetic Retinopathy images is achieved.

The automatic cropping successfully omits as much as possible the non-medical areas shown as dark background, while still maintaining the whole medical areas, comprised the posterior pole of retina captured through the pupil. Thus, this method is helpful in further image processing of posterior areas. We hope that this research will be useful for researchers.
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading complication of diabetes and also one of the leading preventable blindness. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent such condition or in other words, annoyance of the disease may be overcome. The fundus images produced by automated fundus camera are often noisy making it difficult for doctors to precisely detect the abnormalities in fundus images. In the present paper, we propose to use vessel extraction of Retinal image enhancement and implemented in Raspberry Pi board using opencv library for faster execution and cost effective processing unit which helps during mass screening of diabetic retinopathy. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is evaluated using different metrics and Micro-aneurysms. Finally, a considerable improvement in the enhancement of the Diabetic Retinopathy images is achieved.
Efficient Small Template Iris Recognition System Using Wavelet TransformCSCJournals
Iris recognition is known as an inherently reliable biometric technique for human identification. Feature extraction is a crucial step in iris recognition, and the trend nowadays is to reduce the size of the extracted features. Special efforts have been applied in order to obtain low templates size and fast verification algorithms. These efforts are intended to enable a human authentication in small embedded systems, such as an Integrated Circuit smart card. In this paper, an effective eyelids removing method, based on masking the iris, has been applied. Moreover, an efficient iris recognition encoding algorithm has been employed. Different combination of wavelet coefficients which quantized with multiple quantization levels are used and the best wavelet coefficients and quantization levels are determined. The system is based on an empirical analysis of CASIA iris database images. Experimental results show that this algorithm is efficient and gives promising results of False Accept Ratio (FAR) = 0% and False Reject Ratio (FRR) = 1% with a template size of only 364 bits.

IRIS BIOMETRIC RECOGNITION SYSTEM EMPLOYING CANNY OPERATORcsitconf
Biometrics has become important in security applications. In comparison with many other
biometric features, iris recognition has very high recognition accuracy because it depends on
iris which is located in a place that still stable throughout human life and the probability to find
two identical iris's is close to zero. The identification system consists of several stages including
segmentation stage which is the most serious and critical one. The current segmentation
methods still have limitation in localizing the iris due to circular shape consideration of the
pupil. In this research, Daugman method is done to investigate the segmentation techniques.
Eyelid detection is another step that has been included in this study as a part of segmentation
stage to localize the iris accurately and remove unwanted area that might be included. The
obtained iris region is encoded using haar wavelets to construct the iris code, which contains
the most discriminating feature in the iris pattern. Hamming distance is used for comparison of
iris templates in the recognition stage. The dataset which is used for the study is UBIRIS
database. A comparative study of different edge detector operator is performed. It is observed
that canny operator is best suited to extract most of the edges to generate the iris code for
comparison. Recognition rate of 89% and rejection rate of 95% is achieved.

Iris recognition for personal identification using lamstar neural networkijcsit
One of the promising biometric recognition method is Iris recognition. This is because the iris texture provides many features such as freckles, coronas, stripes, furrows, crypts, etc. Those features are unique for different people and distinguishable. Such unique features in the anatomical structure of the iris make it
possible the differentiation among individuals. So during last year’s huge number of people have been
trying to improve its performance. In this article first different common steps for the Iris recognition system
is explained. Then a special type of neural network is used for recognition part. Experimental results show high accuracy can be obtained especially when the primary steps are done well.
A Survey : Iris Based Recognition SystemsEditor IJMTER
The security is one of the important aspect of today's life. Iris recognization is one of the leading
research of security which is used to identify the individual person. Usually iris based biometric is more better
than other biometric in terms of accuracy, fast, stability, uniqueness. The iris recognition system works by
capturing and storing biometric information and then compare scanned copy of iris biometric with the stored iris
images in the database. There are several Iris Based Recognition Systems are developed so far. In this paper we
presented several iris techniques and create a base for our future roadmap.
Nowadays crowd analysis, essential factor about decision management of brand strategy, is not a controllable field by individuals. Therefore a technology, software products is needed.

Automated fundus image quality assessment and segmentation of optic disc usin...IJECEIAES
An automated fundus image analysis is used as a tool for the diagnosis of common retinal diseases. A good quality fundus image results in better diagnosis and hence discarding the degraded fundus images at the time of screening itself provides an opportunity to retake the adequate fundus photographs, which save both time and resources. In this paper, we propose a novel fundus image quality assessment (IQA) model using the convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the quality of optic disc (OD) visibility. We localize the OD by transfer learning with Inception v-3 model. Precise segmentation of OD is done using the GrabCut algorithm. Contour operations are applied to the segmented OD to approximate it to the nearest circle for finding its center and diameter. For training the model, we are using the publicly available fundus databases and a private hospital database. We have attained excellent classification accuracy for fundus IQA on DRIVE, CHASE-DB, and HRF databases. For the OD segmentation, we have experimented our method on DRINS-DB, DRISHTI-GS, and RIMONE v.3 databases and compared the results with existing state-of-the-art methods. Our proposed method outperforms existing methods for OD segmentation on Jaccard index and F-score metrics.
Brain tumor visualization for magnetic resonance images using modified shape...IJECEIAES
3D visualization plays an essential role in medical diagnosis and setting treatment plans especially for brain cancer. There have been many attempts for brain tumor reconstruction and visualization using various techniques. However, this problem is still considered unsolved as more accurate results are needed in this critical field. In this paper, a sequence of 2D slices of brain magnetic resonance Images was used to reconstruct a 3D model for the brain tumor. The images were automatically segmented using wavelet multi-resolution expectation maximization algorithm. Then, the inter-slice gaps were interpolated using the proposed modified shape-based interpolation method. The method involves three main steps; transferring the binary tumor images to distance images using a suitable distance function, interpolating the distance images using cubic spline interpolation and thresholding the interpolated values to get the reconstructed slices. The final tumor is then visualized as a 3D isosurface. We evaluated the proposed method by removing an original slice from the input images and interpolating it, the results outperform the original shape-based interpolation method by an average of 3% reaching 99% of accuracy for some slice images.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.
