This document summarizes an experiment using Particle Filter on Episode (PFoE) to teach and replay behaviors on a mobile robot. PFoE allows a robot to directly make decisions from recorded episodes of sensor values and actions without needing a map. In the experiment, a trainer used a gamepad to control the robot and teach it behaviors over three laps, which were recorded as an episode. During replay, the robot was able to reperform the taught behaviors in different sensory situations and properly alternate its goal, demonstrating PFoE can enable teach-and-replay with a simple algorithm.

color image processing is divided into two major areas:
1. Full Color image Processing
2. Pseudo Color image Processing
It Includes Color Fundamentals,Color Models,Pseudo color image Processing,Full Color image Processing,Color Transformation.
Abstract Image Segmentation plays a vital role in image processing. The research in this area is still relevant due to its wide applications. Image segmentation is a process of assigning a label to every pixel in an image such that pixels with same label share certain visual characteristics. Sometimes it becomes necessary to calculate the total number of colors from the given RGB image to quantize the image, to detect cancer and brain tumour. The goal of this paper is to provide the best algorithm for image segmentation. Keywords: Image segmentation, RGB
UNet-VGG16 with transfer learning for MRI-based brain tumor segmentationTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
A brain tumor is one of a deadly disease that needs high accuracy in its medical surgery. Brain tumor detection can be done through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Image segmentation for the MRI brain tumor aims to separate the tumor area (as the region of interest or ROI) with a healthy brain and provide a clear boundary of the tumor. This study classifies the ROI and non-ROI using fully convolutional network with new architecture, namely UNet-VGG16. This model or architecture is a hybrid of U-Net and VGG16 with transfer Learning to simplify the U-Net architecture. This method has a high accuracy of about 96.1% in the learning dataset. The validation is done by calculating the correct classification ratio (CCR) to comparing the segmentation result with the ground truth. The CCR value shows that this UNet-VGG16 could recognize the brain tumor area with a mean of CCR value is about 95.69%.

Plant Leaf Disease Analysis using Image Processing Technique with Modified SV...Tarun Kumar
In this computing era, image processing has
spread its wings in human life upto the extent that image
has become an integral part of their life. There are various
applications of image processing in the field of commerce,
engineering, graphic design, journalism, architecture and
historical research. In this research work, Image
processing is considered for the analysis of plant leaf
diseases. Plant leaf diseases can be detected based on the
disease symptoms. Here, dataset of disease affected leaves
is considered for experimentation. This dataset contains
the plant leaves suffered from the
AlternariaAlternata,Cercospora Leaf Spot, Anthracnose
andBacterial Blight along with some healthy leaf images.
For this analysis, an autonomous approach of modified
SVM-CS is introduces. Here, concept of cuckoo search is
considered to optimize the classification parameters. These
parameters further help to find more accurate solutions.
This autonomous approach also extracts the healthy
portion and disease affected leaf portion along with the
accuracy of results.

This paper explores the potential for using Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) as a relevance feedback mechanism in content-based image retrieval. We investigate if it is possible to capture useful EEG signals to detect if relevant objects are present in a dataset of realistic and complex images. We perform several experiments using a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of images at different rates (5Hz and 10Hz) on 8 users with different degrees of familiarization with BCI and the dataset. We then use the feedback from the BCI and mouse-based interfaces to retrieve objects in a subset of TRECVid images. We show that it is indeed possible detect such objects in complex images and, also, that users with previous knowledge on the dataset or experience with the RSVP outperform others. When the users have limited time to annotate the images (100 seconds in our experiments) both interfaces are comparable in performance. Comparing our best users in a retrieval task, we found that EEG-based relevance feedback outperforms mouse-based feedback. The realistic and complex image dataset differentiates our work from previous studies on EEG for image retrieval.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

u Easy for robots to keep long and correct memory
u Different from animals that must summarize it
u Direct decision making from an episode

u Replayed given behaviors in spite of its simplicity
u Replayed the wall following task after only one trial
of training
u Chose different actions properly in some
(short time) sensory equivalent situations
alternation of the goal
