scholarly journals Effectiveness Analysis of Transverse Rumble Strip using the Image Processing Technique

Transverse rumble strip is a traffic calming device which usually installed at the vicinity of schools and accident prone spots. The Malaysia Public Work Department has introduced the latest high performance thermoplastic rumble strips as an intervention along blackspot stretches in Malaysia. This study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of the new rumble strips installed at SMK Sri Lalang in Kluang, Johor, with respect to the operational speed variation immediately upstream and downstream of the rumble strips area. Operational speed data acquisition was carried out by using the unmanned aerial vehicle or drone and image processing technique. Drone can be used as an alternative to other image recording devices such as telescopic mast. The presence of a drone is often unnoticed by drivers thus giving the advantage of obtaining naturalistic data. The footages from drone were analysed using the image processing technique to ensure every vehicles were taken into account, compare to handheld device such as speed laser gun that can only detect speed of selected vehicles. The operational speeds were analyzed to obtain parameters namely pace, median, and 85th percentiles speed. The results proved that the new rumble strips succeed to reduce speed of vehicles from 7 to 13 kilometer per hour, which are 7 to 18 percent from the initial speed, respectively.

This paper proposes a novel microfluidic system for cell/microparticle recognition and manipulation utilizing digital image processing technique (DIP) and optical tweezer under microfluidic configuration. Digital image processing technique is used to count and recognize the cell/particle samples and then sends a control signal to generate a laser pulse to manipulate the target cell/particle optically. The optical tweezer system is capable of catching, moving and switching the target cells at the downstream of the microchannel. The trapping force of the optical tweezer is also demonstrated utilizing Stocks-drag method and electroosmotic flow. The proposed system provides a simple but high-performance solution for microparticle manipulation in a microfluidic device.

The present invention discloses a handheld device for multiple disease detection from apple leaf and method thereof. An algorithm is developed in combination with image processing and gray level co occurrence matrix for the classification of normal leaf and diseased apple leaf. The device performs image processing by segmentation of the image and then by using extracted features. The classification and detection of these diseases impart an early solution to the farmers leading less harm to the apple crops. Conventional Detection of the diseases through naked eye can sometimes be faulty. Therefore the device of present invention helps farmers to detect the accurate diseases and provide timely solutions for the same. The present invention increases the throughput and reduces subjectiveness of the previously used conventional methods by proving early and precise disease detection from apple leaves.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

Image processing technique in general, involves the application of signal processing on the input image for isolating the individual color plane of an image. It plays an important role in the image analysis and computer version. This paper compares the efficiency of two approaches in the area of finding breast cancer in medical image processing. The fundamental target is to apply an image mining in the area of medical image handling utilizing grouping guideline created by genetic algorithm. The parameter using extracted border, the border pixels are considered as population strings to genetic algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization, to find out the optimum value from the border pixels. We likewise look at cost of ACO and GA also, endeavors to discover which one gives the better solution to identify an affected area in medical image based on computational time.

In earlier times fruits were sorted manually and it was very time consuming and laborious task. Human sorted the fruits of the basis of shape, size and color. Time taken by human to sort the fruits is very large therefore to reduce the time and to increase the accuracy, an automatic classification of fruits comes into existence.To improve this human inspection and reduce time required for fruit sorting an advance technique is developed that accepts information about fruits from their images, and is called as Image Processing Technique.
