Agarwood oil, known as ‘black gold’ or the ‘wood of God,’ is a globally prized essential oil derived naturally from the Aquilaria tree. Despite its significance, the current non-standardized grading system varies worldwide, relying on subjective assessments. This paper addresses the need for a consistent classification model by presenting an overview of Aquilaria malaccensis oil quality using the self-organizing map (SOM) algorithm. Derived from the Thymelaeaceae family, Aquilaria malaccensis is a primary source of agarwood trees in the Malay Archipelago. Agarwood oil extraction involves traditional methods like solvent extraction and hydro-distillation, yielding a complex mixture of chromone derivatives, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. This study categorizes agarwood oil into high and low grades based on chemical compounds, utilizing the SOM algorithm with inputs of three specific compounds: β-agarofuran, α-agarofuran, and 10-epi-φ-eudesmol. Findings demonstrate the efficacy of SOM-based quality grading in distinguishing agarwood oil grades, offering a significant contribution to the field. The non-standardized grading system's inefficiency and subjectivity underscore the necessity for a standardized model, making this research crucial for the agarwood industry's advancement.

Pap-smear image quality is crucial for cervical cancer detection. This study introduces an optimized hybrid approach that combines the Perona-Malik diffusion (PMD) filter with contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) to enhance pap-smear image quality. The PMD filter reduces the image noise, whereas CLAHE improves the image contrast. The hybrid method was optimized using spider monkey optimization (SMO PMD-CLAHE). Blind/reference-less image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE) and contrast enhancement-based image quality (CEIQ) are the new objective functions for the PMD filter and CLAHE optimization, respectively. The simulations were conducted using the SIPaKMeD dataset. The results indicate that SMO outperforms state-of-the-art methods in optimizing the PMD filter and CLAHE. The proposed method achieved an average effective measure of enhancement (EME) of 5.45, root mean square (RMS) contrast of 60.45, Michelson’s contrast (MC) of 0.995, and entropy of 6.80. This approach offers a new perspective for improving pap-smear image quality.

Muhammad Kahfi Aulia , Dyah Aruming Tyas
Face recognition systems remain challenged by variable lighting conditions. While zero-reference deep curve estimation (Zero-DCE) effectively enhances low-light images, it frequently induces overexposure in normal- and high-brightness scenarios. This study introduces modified Zero-DCE combined with three established enhancement techniques: contrast stretching (CS), contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE), and brightness preserving dynamic histogram equalization (BPDHE). Evaluations employed the extended Yale face database B and face recognition technology (FERET) datasets, with 10 representative samples assessed using the blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE) metric. Modified Zero-DCE with BPDHE produced optimal enhancement quality, achieving a mean BRISQUE score of 16.018. On the extended Yale face database B, visual geometry group 16 (VGG16) integrated with modified Zero-DCE and CLAHE attained 83.65% recognition accuracy, representing a 6.08-percentage-point improvement over conventional Zero-DCE. For the 200-subject FERET subset, residual network 50 (ResNet50) with modified Zero-DCE and CLAHE achieved 67.41% accuracy. Notably, standard Zero-DCE with CLAHE demonstrated superior robustness in extremely low-light conditions, highlighting the illumination-dependent performance characteristics of these enhancement approaches.

Detection of attacks on internet of things (IoT) networks is an important challenge that requires effective and efficient solutions. This study proposes the use of various machine learning (ML) techniques in classifying attacks using unidirectional, bidirectional, and packet features. The proposed methods that implement decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting classifier (XGBC), AdaBoost (AB) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) work perfectly with all kinds of datasets and includes. It also works very well with data type-based feature selection (DTBFS) and correlation-based feature selection (CBFS). The experiment results show a significant improvement compared to previous studies and reveals that unidirectional and bidirectional features provide higher accuracy compared to packet features. Furthermore, ML models, particularly DT, and RF, have faster computing times compared to more complex deep learning models. This analysis also shows potential overfitting in some models, which requires further validation with different datasets. Based on these findings, we recommend the use of RF and DT for scenarios with unidirectional and bidirectional features, while AB and LDA for packet features. The study concludes that using the right ML techniques along with features that work in both directions can make an intrusion detection system for IoT networks becomes very accurate.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a key technology for the internet of things (IoT), with widespread applications in the commercial, healthcare, enterprise, and community sectors. However, privacy and security concerns remain with RFID systems. This manuscript presents a novel RFID-based mutual authentication protocol (MAP) using the PRINCE cipher to address these concerns. The proposed MAP leverages a PRINCE cipher architecture capable of both encryption and decryption based on a mode signal. It performs five encryption and two decryption processes during tag and reader mutual authentication, with updated seed values ensuring synchronization and secure data communication. The PRINCE cipher implementation utilizes less than 1% of slices, operates at 226 MHz with a latency of 3.5 clock cycles (CC), and has a throughput of 4.125 Gbps. The complete RFID-based MAP consumes 721 mW of power, occupies 2% of the chip area, and achieves a latency of 35.5 CC and a throughput of 262 Mbps. This represents a 25% reduction in latency, a 40% increase in throughput, and a 30% decrease in execution time compared to existing MAP approaches. The findings demonstrate the potential of the proposed MAP to enhance latency, throughput, and execution time, offering a promising solution for secure and efficient RFID authentication.
