SLIC Superpixel Based Self Organizing Maps Algorithm for Segmentation of Microarray Images

10.11591/ijaas.v7.i1.pp78-85
Durga Prasad Kondisetty , Mohammed Ali Hussain
We can find the simultaneous monitoring of thousands of genes in parallel Microarray technology. As per these measurements, microarray technology have proven powerful in gene expression profiling for discovering new types of diseases and for predicting the type of a disease. Gridding, Intensity extraction, Enhancement and Segmentation are important steps in microarray image analysis. This paper gives simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) based self organizing maps (SOM) algorithm for segmentation of microarray image. The clusters of pixels which share similar features are called Superpixels, thus they can be used as mid-level units to decrease the computational cost in many vision applications. The proposed algorithm utilizes superpixels as clustering objects instead of pixels. The qualitative and quantitative analysis shows that the proposed method produces better segmentation quality than k-means, fuzzy c-means and self organizing maps clustering methods.

Utilization of very high-resolution images becomes a new trend in forest management, particularly in the detection and identification of forest stand variables. This paper describes the use of mean-shift segmentation algorithm on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) images to measure crown closure of nypa (Nypa fructicans) and gap. The 27 combinations of the parameter values such as spatial radius (hs), range radius (hr), and minimum region size (M). Gap detection and nypa crown closure measurements were performed using a hybrid between pixel-based (maximum likelihood classifier) and object-based approaches (segmentation).  For evaluation of the approach performance, the accuracy assessment was done by comparing object-based classification results (segmentation) and visual interpretation (ground check). The study found that the best combination of segmentation parameter was the combination of hs 10, hr 10 and M 50, with the overall accuracy of 76,6% and kappa accuracy of 55.7%.

The aim of this study is to determine the level of achievement of students participating in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2003 and PISA 2012 tests in Turkey according to questions in the mathematical literacy test. This study is a descriptive survey. Within the scope of the study, the mathematical literacy test items were classified as multiple-choice, complex multiple-choice and constructed response items according to the different question types. The ratio of correct and partially correct and incorrect response given to each question type has been determined. Findings show that the achievements of students differ according to different types of questions. While the question type with the highest success average in the PISA 2003 test was multiple-choice, students got the highest scores from complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2012 test. The questionnaire with the lowest success average was found to be complex multiple-choice questions in the PISA 2003 test while students got the lowest scores from constructed response items in the PISA 2012 test. According to the constructivist education approach effectuated in 2005-2006 academic year, it is expected to observe a rise in constructed response question type; however, findings of the study reveal that the success of constructed response questions is decreased according to the application years.

Pankaj Kumar Sinha , Preetha Sharan
In signal processing, Filter is a device that removes the unwanted signals. In any electronic circuits, Filters are widely used in the fundamental hands on tool. The basic function of the filter is to selectively allow the desired signal to pass through and /or control the undesired signal based on the frequency. A signal processing filter satisfies a set of requirements which are realization and improvement of the filter. A filter system consists of an analog to digital converter is used to sample the input signal, traced by a microprocessor and some components such as memory to store the data and filter coefficients.  Filters can easily be designed to be “linear phase” and it is easy to implement. In this paper, the birecoder multiplier (BM) is designed in terms of VLSI design environment. The proposed multiplier is implemented by using VHDL language and Xilinx ISE for synthesis. The multiplier is mainly used for image processing applications as well as signal processing applications.
