Star Coordinate Dimension Arrangement using Euclidean Distance and Pearson Correlation

10.11591/ijeecs.v12.i1.pp348-355
Noor Elaiza Abdul Khalid , Izyan Izzati Kamsani
Star Coordinate (SC) is a circular visualization technique that maps k-dimensional data. Its interactive features allow user to manipulate projections to search for hidden information. Without prior knowledge of relationship between dimensions users will be blindly searching for clusters. This paper proposes dimension rearrangement using Euclidean Distance and Pearson Correlations to reveal the clusters in SC. The methodology consists of four phases; Calculate the distance between individual attributes against a dependent attribute using Euclidean distance; Pearson correlation is used to obtain the correlation data attributes; Sort the correlation values in ascending order; finally, attributes table are reordered with the positive values to the right and negative values to the left according to the correlation value. The resulting tables are applied to produce the SC. This method is successful in producing clusters that makes it easier for the users to further manipulate the SC for their data analysis.

Given a video of 𝑀 frames of size ℎ × 𝑤. Background components of a video are the elements matrix which relative constant over 𝑀 frames. In PCA (principal component analysis) method these elements are referred as “principal components”. In video processing, background subtraction means excision of background component from the video. PCA method is used to get the background component. This method transforms 3 dimensions video (ℎ × 𝑤 × 𝑀) into 2 dimensions one (𝑁 × 𝑀), where 𝑁 is a linear array of size ℎ × 𝑤. The principal components are the dominant eigenvectors which are the basis of an eigenspace. The limited memory block Krylov subspace optimization then is proposed to improve performance the computation. Background estimation is obtained as the projection each input image (the first frame at each sequence image) onto space expanded principal component. The procedure was run for the standard dataset namely SBI (Scene Background Initialization) dataset consisting of 8 videos with interval resolution [146 150, 352 240], total frame [258,500]. The performances are shown with 8 metrics, especially (in average for 8 videos) percentage of error pixels (0.24%), the percentage of clustered error pixels (0.21%), multiscale structural similarity index (0.88 form maximum 1), and running time (61.68 seconds).

Mammography is a method used for the detection of breast cancer. computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems help the radiologist in the detection and interpretation of mass in breast mammography. One of the important information of a mass is its contour and its form because it provides valuable information about the abnormality of a mass. The accuracy in the recognition of the shape of a mass is related to the accuracy of the detected mass contours. In this work we propose a new approach for detecting the boundaries of lesion in mammography images based on region growing algorithm without using the threshold, the proposed method requires an initial rectangle surrounding the lesion selected manually by the radiologist (Region Of Interest), where the region growing algorithm applies on lines segments that attach each pixel of this rectangle with the seed point, such as the ends (seeds) of each line segment grow in a direction towards one another. The proposed approach is evaluated on a set of data with 20 masses of the MIAS base whose contours are annotated manually by expert radiologists. The performance of the method is evaluated in terms of specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and overlap. All the findings and details of approach are presented in detail.

Dewi Suryani , Valentino Ekaputra , Andry Chowanda
Images, audio, and videos have been used by researchers for a long time to develop several tasks regarding human facial recognition and emotion detection. Most of the available datasets usually focus on either static expression, a short video of changing emotion from neutral to peak emotion, or difference in sounds to detect the current emotion of a person. Moreover, the common datasets were collected and processed in the United States (US) or Europe, and only several datasets were originated from Asia. In this paper, we present our effort to create a unique dataset that can fill in the gap by currently available datasets. At the time of writing, our datasets contain 10 full HD (1920 1080) video clips with annotated JSON file, which is in total 100 minutes of duration and the total size of 13 GB. We believe this dataset will be useful as a training and benchmark data for a variety of research topics regarding human facial and emotion recognition.

Feature Extraction of Chest X-ray Images and Analysis using PCA and kPCA

10.11591/ijece.v8i5.pp3392-3398
Roopa H , Asha T
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium which can be diagnosed by its various symptoms like fever, cough, etc. Tuberculosis can also be analyzed by understanding the chest x-ray of the patient which is revealed by an expert physician .The chest x-ray image contains many features which cannot be directly used by any computer system for analyzing the disease. Features of chest x-ray images must be understood and extracted, so that it can be processed to a form to be fed to any computer system for disease analysis. This paper presents feature extraction of chest x-ray image which can be used as an input for any data mining algorithm for TB disease analysis. So texture and shape based features are extracted from x-ray image using image processing concepts. The features extracted are analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and kernel principal component analysis (kPCA) techniques. Filter and wrapper feature selection method using linear regression model were applied on these techniques. The performance of PCA and kPCA are analyzed and found that the accuracy of PCA using wrapper approach is 96.07%   when compared to the accuracy of kPCA which is 62.50%. PCA performs well than kPCA with a good accuracy.

MICCS: A Novel Framework for Medical Image Compression Using Compressive Sensing

10.11591/ijece.v8i5.pp2818-2828
Lakshminarayana M , Mrinal Sarvagya
The vision of some particular applications such as robot-guided remote surgery where the image of a patient body will need to be captured by the smart visual sensor and to be sent on a real-time basis through a network of high bandwidth but yet limited. The particular problem considered for the study is to develop a mechanism of a hybrid approach of compression where the Region-of-Interest (ROI) should be compressed with lossless compression techniques and Non-ROI should be compressed with Compressive Sensing (CS) techniques. So the challenge is gaining equal image quality for both ROI and Non-ROI while overcoming optimized dimension reduction by sparsity into Non-ROI. It is essential to retain acceptable visual quality to Non-ROI compressed region to obtain a better reconstructed image. This step could bridge the trade-off between image quality and traffic load. The study outcomes were compared with traditional hybrid compression methods to find that proposed method achieves better compression performance as compared to conventional hybrid compression techniques on the performances parameters e.g. PSNR, MSE, and Compression Ratio.
