A new algorithm for license plate character recognition is proposed on the basis of Signature analysis properties and features extraction. Signature analysis has been used to locate license plate region and its properties can be further utilised in supporting and affirming the license plate character recognition. This paper presents the implementation of Signature Analysis combined with Features E... View full abstract»

This paper is an extension to the models of species abundance in biogeography based optimization technique. We present the extended species abundance models by defining the parameter species growth rate as a function of species evolution rate and the species immigration rate and species decline rate as a function of species extinction rate and emigration rate for the determination of the total spe...

This paper presents a novel algorithm, which is based on Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), for multiobjective optimization problems. The proposed algorithm, which is called Vector Evaluated Gravitational Search Algorithm (VEGSA), uses a number of populations of particles. In particular, a population of particles corresponds to one objective function to be minimized or maximized. Simultaneous m... View full abstract»

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been widely used to solve real-valued optimization problems. A variant of PSO, namely, binary particle swarm optimization (BinPSO) has been previously developed to solve discrete optimization problems. Later, many studies have been done to improve BinPSO in term of convergence speed, stagnation in local optimum, and complexity. In this paper, a novel multi-sta... View full abstract»

This study introduces a variant of Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) for discrete optimization problems, namely, Fast Discrete Gravitational Search Algorithm (FDGSA). The main difference between the proposed FDGSA and the existing Binary Gravitational Search Algorithm (BGSA) is that an agent's position is updated based on its direction and velocity. Both the direction and velocity determine the... View full abstract»

The paper discusses a novel trading algorithm for trading foreign currencies. The algorithm is based on the fact that currency exchange rates exhibit long-range dependency i.e. time-series constructed of exchange rates deviates from complete randomness and contains memory. This memory can be useful in predicting future behaviors of the exchange rates. The type of correlation varies in time from po... View full abstract»

The present Indian Technical Education needs to adopt to the rapidly changing technological changes and bridge the gap between academics and Industry needs. With the ever changing expectations of the learner, we need to adapt to the technology to a larger extent to share knowledge. Knowledge sharing using technology is the need of the hour today. Institutes will have the best resources with lot of... View full abstract»

With the rapid multiplication of World Wide Web, there is an increasing requirement for automated web page classification techniques. Web page classification is an important task in web mining and is utilized in many other areas of research as well. General practice during classification is to use lexical terms as features. In this paper we investigate the effect of considering named entities as f... View full abstract»

Bali traditional dance has gain international reputation thanks to its highly articulated body-part motions, fascinating eyes movement, facial expressions, and colorful costumes. Although the motions are viewed as the main aesthetic factors, automatic recognition and verification of their kinesthetic elements using computer is a challenging problem. Numerous studies have been conducted on dance re... View full abstract»

Alignment and exposure are the most critical steps in photolithography process, the resolution requirements and precise alignment are vital, each mask needs to be precisely aligned with original alignment mark. Otherwise, it can't successfully transfer the original pattern to the wafer surface causing device and circuit failure. By improving this resolution and alignment precision the minimum size...

The traffic jam frequently occur in a large town and city caused by the crowd of vehicle and many traffic light within short distance. Normally, the emergency vehicle could not reach the destination during emergency due to heavy traffic. To overcome this problem, this project has been developed using vision sensor based on Camera-closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to search for emergency vehicles on... View full abstract»

The classification of diffuse lung opacities in high resolution computed tomography(HRCT) images is an important step for developing a computer-aided diagnosis(CAD) system. In designing the CAD system for classifying diffuse lung opacities in HRCT images, a histogram feature vector approach has been shown to be effective. In order to improve further the classification performance of the CAD system... View full abstract»

Generally, in DNA computing, the DNA sequences used for the computation should be critically designed in order to reduce error that could occur during computation. Previously, direct-proportional length-based DNA computing which involved DNA sequences with different lengths has been implemented to solve the shortest path problem. In this study, particle swarm optimization (PSO) and population-base... View full abstract»

Corporate energy usage policy is typically difficult to design and impossible to enforce. The problem stems from the fact that there are several complexities in this enforcement and passive tools such as Energy star are naïve; they do not cater for corporate policies. The result of this is an uncontrolled usage of computers in the corporate culture resulting in significant effects on the e... View full abstract»
