Biometric identification with improved efficiency using sift algorithmIJARIIT
Osseo-integrated dental implants have been widely used for the rehabilitation of tooth loss. Although dental implants
are considered an available treatment in the paradigm shift from traditional dental therapies, such as fixed dental bridges and
removable dentures, the fundamental problems must be overcome prior to their clinical use in young patients who are still
undergoing jawbone growth. A bio-engineered functional bio-hybrid implant that is combined with adult-derived periodontal
tissue and attached with bone tissue can act as a substitute for cementum. This bio-hybrid implant was successfully engrafted
and it restored physiological function, including bone remodelling, regeneration and appropriate responsiveness to noxious
stimuli. Thus, this article reviews the functional bio-hybrid implant’s potential for clinical use as a next-generation dental
implant using adult-derived tissues.
A presentation on Image Recognition, the basic definition and working of Image Recognition, Edge Detection, Neural Networks, use of Convolutional Neural Network in Image Recognition, Applications, Future Scope and Conclusion
This paper presents the development of a camera-based assistive text reading framework to help blind persons read text labels and product packaging from hand-held objects in their daily lives. Recent developments in computer vision, digital cameras, and portable computers make it feasible to assist these individuals by developing camera-based products that combine computer vision technology with other existing commercial products such optical character recognition (OCR) systems. To automatically extract the text regions from the object, we propose a artificial neural network algorithm by learning gradient features of stroke orientations and distributions of edge pixels in an Adaboost model. Text characters in the localized text regions are binarized for processing the algorithm and the text characters are recognized by off-the-shelf OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and other process involved . Now the binarized signals are converted to audible signal. The working principle is as follows first the respected image will be captured and then it is converted to binary signals. Now the image is diagnosed to find whether the text is present in the image. Secondly, if the text is present, then the object of interest is detected. The respected text of the image is recognized and then converted to audible signals. Thus the recognized text codes are given as speech to the user.

Image Recognition. Technology, Guidelines and TrendsCatchoom
Image Recognition has probably been one of the hottest topics throughout 2014 with announcements such as the launch of the Amazon FireFly app and several millions of VC capital and M&A in this space. Image recognition has the potential to become ubiquitous in our day-to-day interactions with real world objects that are connected with the digital world.
This talk will be divided in four topics. First, it will cover basic aspects of the technology: the different approaches, the type of objects that are recognized, and the limitations of each technique through demonstrations. Second, the audience will be guided through the steps required to embed an image recognition solution into an app or service. Third, a number of vendor solutions will be described to give hands on pointers for those willing to start integrating such solutions. Finally, the talk will discuss the future of image recognition in different fields.
You can watch the video of the presentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilbTvfchtQY
Image recognition is a problem that clearly illustrates the advantages of machine learning over traditional programming approaches. In this deep dive, how to quickly get set up with TensorFlow on Ubuntu using containers will be shown. To be even more efficient, what is becoming known as transfer learning will be demonstrated. An existing image recognition model will be used rather than the time consuming approach of building one from scratch. Subsequently, this classifier model will be trained with an image dataset. And finally, the retrained model will be tested with new external images.
Text Extraction is a process by which we convert Printed document/Scanned Page or Image in which text are available to ASCII Character that a Computer can Recognize.
Fake Multi Biometric Detection using Image Quality Assessmentijsrd.com
In the recent era where technology plays a prominent role, persons can be identified (for security reasons) based on their behavioral and physiological characteristics (for example fingerprint, face, iris, key-stroke, signature, voice, etc.) through a computer system called the biometric system. In these kinds of systems the security is still a question mark because of various intruders and attacks. This problem can be solved by improving the security using some efficient algorithms available. Hence the fake person can be identified if he/she uses any synthetic sample of an authenticated person and a fake person who is trying to forge can be identified and authenticated.

Innovative Analytic and Holistic Combined Face Recognition and Verification M...ijbuiiir1
Automatic recognition and verification of human faces is a significant problem in the development and application of Human Computer Interaction (HCI).In addition, the demand for reliable personal identification in computerized access control has resulted in an increased interest in biometrics to replace password and identification (ID) card. Over the last couple of years, face recognition researchers have been developing new techniques fuelled by the advances in computer vision techniques, Design of computers, sensors and in fast emerging face recognition systems. In this paper, a Face Recognition and Verification System has been designed which is robust to variations of illumination, pose and facial expression but very sensitive to variations of the features of the face. This design reckons in the holistic or global as well as the analyticor geometric features of the face of the human beings. The global structure of the human face is analysed by Principal Component Analysis while the features of the local structure are computed considering the geometric features of the face such as the eyes, nose and the mouth. The extracted local features of the face are trained and later tested using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This combined approach of the global and the local structure of the face image is proved very effective in the system we have designed as it has a correct recognition rate of over 90%.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

DEFINITION
3. We propose developing an automated implant
recognition mobile application based on computer vision
and image pattern recognition technology to identify the
make and model of an implant by analysing the
radiographs and matching the same with the database
provided by the vendors.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
4. The correct identification of orthopaedic devices
is an important element of pre-operative
planning which should facilitate implant extraction
during revision arthroplasty.
IDENTIFICATION
5. CLOUD APPLICATION
The application will be based on cloud (publically
available software as a service) services hence allowing
the orthopaedic surgeons to accurately identify an
implant and also make sure that parts are still currently
available as occasionally implants may have been
withdrawn from the market.
6. The patient outcome can be affected.
Wrong size or improper match can lead to soft-tissue irritation,
impingement, pain, decreased motion, poor function, and/or runaway wear.
A second operation may be required.
IMPORTANTS of IDENTIFICATION
7. Surgeon may not able to recognize the
implant as he has never used the particular
type of TKR.
REASONS FOR DELAY
IN IDENTIFICATION
Operating notes of the primary surgery are
not available to determine the model and
manufacturer of the implant.

Even mimicking human levels of understanding.
17. Facial recognition (or face recognition) is a type of biometric software application that can
identify a specific individual in a digital image by analyzing and comparing patterns.
Facial Recognition
Ans: A biometric is a unique, measurable characteristic of a human being that can
be used to automatically recognize an individual or verify an individual identity.
Biometrics can measure both physiological and behavioral characteristics.
1. What are biometrics?
18. CAPTURING OF IMAGE
BY STANDARD VIDEO CAMERAS
The image is optical in characteristics and may be thought of as a collection of a large
number of bright and dark areas representing the picture details
. In other words the picture information is a function of two variables: Time and Space.
It would require infinite number of channels to transmit optical information
corresponding to picture elements simultaneously. There is practical difficulty in
transmitting all information simultaneously so we use a method called scanning.
19. The 3 main components of face recognition systems, they are as follows
COMPONENTS OF FACE RECOGNITION SYSTEMS
Enrollment module
Database
Identification module
20. Each face has distinguishable nodal
points that represent the peaks
and valleys termed as features of a
face.
The system measures these 80
nodal points
Ratios Measured
Distance between the eyes
Width of the nose
Depth of the eye sockets
The shape of the cheekbones
The length of the jaw line
The FACE ID is

22. GOOGLE IMAGES
Uploading an Implant radiograph on Google images gave the following results
Google’s Neural recognition methods based on Mathematical models can
be used for object recognition.
Google Images API cannot be directly used due to privacy
issues.
Manufacturer’s name who had previously uploaded the same image on
the internet.
Similar radiographs that looked 70-80% similar
Search results did not reflect any implant photographs. Although,
they are available over the Google Image server.

24. Revision surgeries
Revision surgeries may need to be carried out by hospitals
without access to index surgery operating notes.
Patients may approach the most convenient not necessarily
the same surgeon for a revision surgery.
25. CONCLUSION
There is an urgent need to have a robust and accurate system
for identification of orthopaedic implants.
The dependency upon surgeon’s experience, hospital
facilities and archiving of records can be avoided with the
use of a single application that allows multiple
manufacturers to contribute to a database of catalogue of
their products.
