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.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Background
The phenomenon of induced polarization (IP) is given by Conrad Schlumberger as early as 1912.
The induced polarization method has been used since the late 1940s, having been developed during the
Second World War by William Keck and David Bliel as a part of a US Navy project to detect mines at sea
(Grow, 1982).
One aspect of IP, known as the overvoltage effect, has been known about since the nineteenth century.
In the 1980s, there were considerable advances in
instrumentation, and sophisticated techniques such as
complex resistivity and spectral IP (Pelton et al., 1978)
were developed.
Understand the effects in terms of charge accumulation.

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
The exact causes of induced polarization phenomena are still unclear, but the two main mechanisms that
are reasonably understood are :
- Grain (Electrode) Polarization and
- Membrane (Electrolytic) Polarization
Both of which occurs through electrochemical processes.
1. Grain (Electrode) Polarization
Grain or electrode polarization occurs by the same
process that results in self-potentials.
If a metal electrode is placed in an ionic solution without
a voltage being applied, charges with different polarities
separate, resulting in the establishment of a potential
difference between the electrode and the solutions.
6. June 07, 2020
Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
The total magnitude of the potential is the Nernst Potential
and the adsorbed layer give rise to zeta potential.
1. Grain (Electrode) Polarization
When a Voltage is applied, the ionic balance is disturbed which
causes a current to flow, which in turn changes the potential
difference between the electrode and the solution.
When the applied voltage is removed, the ionic balance is
restored by diffusion of ions.

and Zeta Potentials are obtained

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
1. Grain (Electrode) Polarization
In the geological situation, current is conducted through the rock mass by movement of ions, within the
groundwater, passing through interconnected pores or through the fracture and micro-crack structure
within the rock.
When an electronically conducting grain (e.g. a metal sulphide) blocks a flow channel, charge builds up as
in the electrochemical cell; that opposes the current flow and the grain becomes polarized, so creating a
potential difference across the grain.
8. June 07, 2020
Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
1. Grain (Electrode) Polarization
On switching off the applied voltage, the ions diffuse back through the electrolytic medium and the
potential differences across the grain reduces to zero in a finite time, giving the characteristic overvoltage
decay measured in time-domain systems.
Grain polarization is essentially a surface phenomenon and that’s why disseminated ores (with
correspondingly large total surface areas) produce a significant IP response.
Sometimes an IP response is obtained over a halo of disseminated ore around a massive ore body.
Although, it is the individual electronically
conducting mineral grains that become polarized,
complete zone with significant concentrations of
ore will also take on a net polarization which result
in the macroscopic polarization current flow in the
ground which is measured as the IP response.

body

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
1. Grain (Electrode) Polarization
For the Wenner electrode configurations , current polarizes the zone of ore concentration which, when the
applied current is turned off, generates the transient polarization current that is measured at the surface.
The current field is more complicated for dipole-dipole array.
The factors affecting the rate which the ionic balance is restored are extremely complex and may depends
upon :
- Pore shape and Size
- Rock Structure
- Permeability
- Electrolytic conductivity
- Ionic concentrations
- Electronic conductivity of mineral grains

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
1. Membrane (Electrolytic) Polarization
There are two causes of membrane or electrolytic polarization :
a. By the constriction within a pore channel
b. By the presence of clay within pore channel
There is a net negative charge at the interface between most rock minerals and pore fluids.
Positive charges within the pore fluid are attracted to the rock surface and build up a positively charged
layer up to about 100µm thick, while negative charges are repelled.
The pore channel diameter reduces to less than 100µm, and the constriction will block the flow of ions
when voltage is applied.
Negative ions will leave the constricted zine and the
positive ions will increase their concentration , so
producing a potential difference across the blockage.
When the applied voltage is switched off, the
imbalance in ionic concentration is returned to normal
by diffusion, which produces the measured IP response.
11. June 07, 2020
Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Origin of Induced Polarization Effects
1. Membrane (Electrolytic) Polarization
The second cause of membrane polarization is the presence of clay particles or filaments of fibrous
minerals, both of which tend to have a net negative charge.
Positive ions are attracted to them, producing a positively charged cloud within the pore space.
When a voltage is applied, positive charges can
move between these similarly charged clouds but
the negatively charged ions are blocked which
produces a difference in ionic concentration.
When the applied voltage is switched off, the
imbalances in ionic concentrations decay to normal
levels by diffusion, so causing a measurable IP
response.
There are two causes of membrane or electrolytic polarization :
a. By the constriction within a pore channel
b. By the presence of clay within pore channel

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Measurement of Induced Polarization
There are four systems of induced polarization measurements :
Time-domain (or pulse transient) techniques – measure the overvoltage as a function of time
Frequency domain methods – apparent resistivity is measured at two or more different frequencies
(usually lower than 10 Hz, Patella and Schiavone, 1977)
Phase domain techniques – the phase-lag between the applied current and the measured voltage is
diagnostic of the nature of the subsurface mineralization
Spectral IP – the phase and magnitude are measured over a range of frequencies from 10-3 to 4 x 103 Hz
13. June 07, 2020
Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Measurement of Induced Polarization
Time-domain (or pulse transient) Measurement
When a current is applied to the ground and switched off a few moments later, an overvoltage decay results.
The total magnitude of the observed voltage (Vo ) is equal to the actual voltage (V) due to the applied
current plus a polarization voltage (Vp ) caused by the polarization processes.
When the applied current is switched off, the
Voltage drops instantaneously by the amount
V, leaving a residual voltage (the overvoltage)
(Vp ) which decays with time.
One measure of the IP effect is the ratio :
Vp / Vo , which is known as the Chargeability
and is usually expressed in terms of millivolts
per volt or percent.
14. June 07, 2020
Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Measurement of Induced Polarization
Time-domain (or pulse transient) Measurement
Instrumentally, it is extremely difficult to measure Vp at the moment the current is switched off, so it is
measured at a fixed time (typically 0.5s) after cutoff.
Measurements are then made of the decay of Vp over a very short time period (0.1 s) after discrete intervals
of time (also around 0.5s).
The integration of these values with respect to time gives the areas under the curve , which is an alternative
way of defining the decay curve.
When the integral is divided by
Vo , the resultant value is called
the apparent chargeability (Ma)
and has units of time
(milliseconds).

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Measurement of Induced Polarization
Time-domain (or pulse transient) Measurement
The true chargeability is virtually impossible to measure in a field situation as each layer within the ground
will have its own absolute value of chargeability and of true resistivity.
What we measured is a complex function of all the true resistivities and absolute chargeablities for all the
media being sampled within the range of the equipment.
A short charging period will produce a low IP response than a long
charging period.
The major advantage of integration and normalizing by dividing V is
that noise from cross-coupling of cables and from background
potentials is reduced.
Care has to be exercised in selecting appropriate time intervals to
maximize signal-to-noise ratios without reducing the method’s
diagnostic sensitivity.

Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Measurement of Induced Polarization
Frequency-domain Measurement
In frequency-domain (variable frequency) induced polarization studies, the apparent resistivity is measured
at two frequencies less than 10 Hz (e.g. 0.1 Hz and 5 Hz, or 0.3 Hz and 2.5 Hz) using the same electrode array
as in time-domain and direct-current resistivity measurements.
The apparent resistivity at low frequency is greater than at a higher frequency .
For a short charging time the measured overvoltage is appreciably
lower than that obtained for longer charging times.
The length of decay is too short to be determined, so the total
amplitude of voltage is measured with respect to the applied current
giving a value of the resistance ( R ) which, when multiplied by the
appropriate geometric factor, is the apparent resistivity.
If the current is switched in polarity, and on and off, with a time delay
comparable to the length of the charging time, then this is the same
as applying an alternating current signal at a given frequency (f,
hertz).
19. June 07, 2020
Induced Polarization (IP) Method
Measurement of Induced Polarization
Frequency –domain Measurement
The shorter the charging and delay times, the higher the frequency and so the apparent resistivity at low
frequency is greater than that a higher frequency.
The two apparent resistivities are used to determine the frequency effect (FE) (unitless), which can be
expressed alternatively as the percentage frequency effect (PFE) ( unit : %)
Frequency effect :
FE = (
ρ 𝑎0−ρ 𝑎1
ρ 𝑎1
) (unitless)
Where, ρ 𝑎0 and ρ 𝑎1 are the apparent resistivities at low and higher frequencies respectively and ρ 𝑎0> ρ 𝑎1
Percentage frequency effect :
PFE = (
ρ 𝑎0−ρ 𝑎1
ρ 𝑎1
)x 100 % = 100 FE
The frequency effect in the frequency domain is equivalent to the chargeability in the time-domain for a
weakly polarizable medium where FE is very much less than 1.

Marshall and Madden (1959) modified the expression involving the frequency effect to produce the metal
factor (MF) (or the metal conduction factor).
Metal Factor :
MF = A(
ρ 𝑎0−ρ 𝑎1
ρ 𝑎0ρ 𝑎1
)
MF = A(σ 𝑎1 − σ 𝑎0)
Where, ρ 𝑎0 and ρ 𝑎1 are the apparent resistivities at low and higher frequencies respectively and σ 𝑎0 and σ 𝑎1 are the
apparent conductivities ( = 1/ρ 𝑎) at low and higher frequencies respectively ; ρ 𝑎0 > ρ 𝑎1 and σ 𝑎0< σ 𝑎1 and A = 2π x 105
Alternatively,
MF = A(
𝐹𝐸
ρ 𝑎0
)= A x FE x σ 𝑎0
Where, FE is the frequency effect.

Measurement of Induced Polarization
Frequency –domain Measurement
It is thought by some geophysicists that metal factor data delineate disseminated sulphide zones more
effectively than frequency effect data.
Although, disseminated orebodies can be located using IP data, chargeablility, frequency effect and metal
factor doe not give a good indication of the relative amount of the metallic mineralization within the source
of IP response.
It is necessary to go to more elaborate methods such as spectral IP and even then the estimates obtained
are unambiguous.
One further frequency-domain method that has been used but which has been superseded by the spectral
IP method is “Phase IP” . Only one frequency is necessary.
Induced Polarization is identified by the presence of a phase lag (ɸ) between the applied current and the
polarization voltage measured.
