Fruit monitoring system using multi-layered neural network

A fruit monitoring system based on image processing technology and multi-layer neural network is proposed. The advantage of the proposed fruit monitoring system allows it to be remotely controlled by PCs and the graphical user interface (GUI) program by LabVIEW which has been designed for more intuitive and convenient operation of this system. In addition, the neural network can reduce nonlinearity of the system compared to the calculation based system. Therefore, experienced workers and novices can easily judge the ripeness of the fruits using the GUI program without necessarily going to the orchards. In this study, the color is used as a criterion to judge the maturity of tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes will appear to be red, while the unripe tomatoes will be green in color. The region of interest (ROI) function and Canny edge detection are applied to crop the image and remove the background, then the pixel data obtained are to supply the use of neural network. After that the maturity level of tomatoes is judged by the neural network. In laboratory test, 50 experiments have been down, 48 of which were successful, 2 of which failed, so the recognition rate was 96%. The experiments of this fruit monitoring system in the greenhouse on real growing tomatoes has been conducted. Therefore, 10 experiments on the red and green tomatoes has been conducted, respectively. As a result, the recognition rate of the red tomatoes is 100%, and recognition rate of the green tomatoes is 90%. The experimental results show that the proposed mobile fruit monitoring system has a very high recognition rate of accuracy.

Double differential neutron spectra generated by the interaction of a 12 MeV/nucleon [formula omitted]S beam on a thick [formula omitted]Cu target

Double differential neutron spectra (energy, angle) originating from a thick natCu target bombarded by a 12 MeV/nucleon 36S16+ beam were measured by the activation method and the Time-of-flight technique at the Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds (GANIL). A neutron spectrum unfolding algorithm combining the SAND-II iterative method and Monte-Carlo techniques was developed for the analysis of the activation results that cover a wide range of neutron energies. It was implemented into a graphical user interface program, called GanUnfold. The experimental neutron spectra are compared to Monte-Carlo simulations performed using the PHITS and FLUKA codes.

Pulseq-Graphical Programming Interface: Open source visual environment for prototyping pulse sequences and integrated magnetic resonance imaging algorithm development

PurposeTo provide a single open-source platform for comprehensive MR algorithm development inclusive of simulations, pulse sequence design and deployment, reconstruction, and image analysis. MethodsWe integrated the “Pulseq” platform for vendor-independent pulse programming with Graphical Programming Interface (GPI), a scientific development environment based on Python. Our integrated platform, Pulseq-GPI, permits sequences to be defined visually and exported to the Pulseq file format for execution on an MR scanner. For comparison, Pulseq files using either MATLAB only (“MATLAB-Pulseq”) or Python only (“Python-Pulseq”) were generated. We demonstrated three fundamental sequences on a 1.5 T scanner. Execution times of the three variants of implementation were compared on two operating systems. ResultsIn vitro phantom images indicate equivalence with the vendor supplied implementations and MATLAB-Pulseq. The examples demonstrated in this work illustrate the unifying capability of Pulseq-GPI. The execution times of all the three implementations were fast (a few seconds). The software is capable of user-interface based development and/or command line programming. ConclusionThe tool demonstrated here, Pulseq-GPI, integrates the open-source simulation, reconstruction and analysis capabilities of GPI Lab with the pulse sequence design and deployment features of Pulseq. Current and future work includes providing an ISMRMRD interface and incorporating Specific Absorption Ratio and Peripheral Nerve Stimulation computations.

Design and implementation of a configurable system for managing X509 certificates

In this paper a design and an implementation of a configurable system for managing the X509 certificates is described. The X509 certificates are one of the most important standards used today in a large number of different authentication mechanisms. As such, they represent one of the important topics at the Computer Security course at the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade. The system described in this paper has been used within the practical project at the Computer Security course. It provides the ability to generate, sign, and manipulate X509 certificates and it's implemented in such a way that the graphical user interface (GUI) is completely separated from the logic. This way of implementation relaxes the students from GUI programming and enables them to concentrate on programming the part related to the certificates - security part of the project. The system has been successfully used at the course in the previous school year and the new and improved version is going to be used in this school year.

Crystal identification for a dual-layer-offset LYSO based PET system via Lu-176 background radiation and mean shift algorithm

Modern positron emission tomography (PET) detectors are made from pixelated scintillation crystal arrays and readout by Anger logic. The interaction position of the gamma-ray should be assigned to a crystal using a crystal position map or look-up table. Crystal identification is a critical procedure for pixelated PET systems. In this paper, we propose a novel crystal identification method for a dual-layer-offset LYSO based animal PET system via Lu-176 background radiation and mean shift algorithm. Single photon event data of the Lu-176 background radiation are acquired in list-mode for 3 h to generate a single photon flood map (SPFM). Coincidence events are obtained from the same data using time information to generate a coincidence flood map (CFM). The CFM is used to identify the peaks of the inner layer using the mean shift algorithm. The response of the inner layer is deducted from the SPFM by subtracting CFM. Then, the peaks of the outer layer are also identified using the mean shift algorithm. The automatically identified peaks are manually inspected by a graphical user interface program. Finally, a crystal position map is generated using a distance criterion based on these peaks. The proposed method is verified on the animal PET system with 48 detector blocks on a laptop with an Intel i7-5500U processor. The total runtime for whole system peak identification is 67.9 s. Results show that the automatic crystal identification has 99.98% and 99.09% accuracy for the peaks of the inner and outer layers of the whole system respectively. In conclusion, the proposed method is suitable for the dual-layer-offset lutetium based PET system to perform crystal identification instead of external radiation sources.

JRgui: A Python Program of Joback and Reid Method

Using the modern object-oriented programing language Python (e.g., tkinter and pandas modules) and a chemoinformatics open-source library (RDKit), the classic Joback and Reid group contribution method was revisited and written into a graphical user interface program, JRgui. The underlying algorithm behind the program is explained, herein, with the users being able to operate the program in either a manual or automatic mode. In the manual mode, the users are required to determine the type and occurrence of functional groups in the compound of interest and manually enter into the program. In the automatic mode, both of these parameters can be detected automatically via user input of the compound simplified molecular input line entry specification (SMILES) string. An additional advantage of the automatic mode is that a large number of molecules can be processed simultaneously by parsing their individual SMILES strings into a text file, which is read by the program. The resulting predicted physical properties along with approximately 200 molecular descriptors are saved in a spreadsheet file for subsequent analysis. The program is available for free at https://github.com/curieshicy/JRgui for Windows, Linux, and macOS 64-bit operating systems. It is hoped that the current work may facilitate the creation of other user-friendly programs in the chemoinformatics community using Python.

Detection of Drive-by Download Attacks Using Machine Learning Approach

Drive-by download refers to attacks that automatically download malwares to user's computer without his knowledge or consent. This type of attack is accomplished by exploiting web browsers and plugins vulnerabilities. The damage may include data leakage leading to financial loss. Traditional antivirus and intrusion detection systems are not efficient against such attacks. Researchers proposed plenty of detection approaches mostly passive blacklisting. However, a few proposed dynamic classification techniques, which suffer from clear shortcomings. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to detect drive-by download infected web pages based on extracted features from their source code. We test 23 different machine learning classifiers using data set of 5435 webpages and based on the detection accuracy we selected the top five to build our detection model. The approach is expected to serve as a base for implementing and developing anti drive-by download programs. We develop a graphical user interface program to allow the end user to examine the URL before visiting the website. The Bagged Trees classifier exhibited the highest accuracy of 90.1% and reported 96.24% true positive and 26.07% false positive rate.

ESTIMATING THE EFFECTS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT PRIORITY MEASURES AT SIGNAL CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS

Most of the Lithuanian cities try to achieve public transport priority by the provision of special dedicated public transport lanes. However, the possible priority measures at signalised intersections receive less attention. This paper explains common signal control strategies applied at isolated intersections in the cities around the world and estimated their effects on the travel times of both, public transport and general traffic. The analysis employs well recognised PTV VISSIM simulation environment and VisVAP graphical programming interface to implement and test priority measures under question. The results indicate that priority actions significantly reduce public transport delays up to 60%, without high adverse impact on general traffic delays.

Easing the development of android apps to create electronic prototypes: IOIO+App Inventor

To validate the concept of an electronic system before thinking of commercial uses, a prototype needs to be developed first. However, technical knowledge in electronics and computer science (CS) is required. Due to the importance of these fields in the world of today, where almost everything is regulated by technology, several initiatives emerged to provide the general public with these knowledge. In this context, there is a focus on the education field where several efforts have been made to lower the entry level to electronics and CS fields, enabling even kids to learn the basic concepts at an early age and have the possibility to concretise their ideas and develop their own prototype. The study presents a solution to facilitate the task of programming electronic gadgets using graphical programming. The authors consider as case study an electronic system built around the IOIO board. The graphical programming interface was created using App Inventor, a web platform for creating android apps. Using the proposed system, several basic and complex gadgets were easily created by young school children with minimal skills in hardware assembly and software programming.

The Mobile Fruit Monitoring System Using Image Processing Technology and Temperature/Humidity Sensors

Recently, due to the rise in age of the population and the increase of novices in the countryside, the number of experienced workers in the countryside is decreasing. In addition, more and more people are suffering from the heat of the ever-increasing hot weather. In this paper a mobile fruit monitoring system based on the image processing technology and temperature/humidity sensors will be shown. The advantage of the mobile fruit monitoring system that is introduced in this paper is that it can be remote controlled by PCs and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) program by LabVIEW has been designed. Therefore it is no longer necessary to go to the orchards, experienced workers and novices can easily judge the ripeness of the fruits by the GUI program.

SUePDF: a program to obtain quantitative pair distribution functions from electron diffraction data.

SUePDF is a graphical user interface program written in MATLAB to achieve quantitative pair distribution functions (PDFs) from electron diffraction data. The program facilitates structural studies of amorphous materials and small nanoparticles using electron diffraction data from transmission electron microscopes. It is based on the physics of electron scattering as well as the total scattering methodology. A method of background modeling is introduced to treat the intensity tail of the direct beam, inelastic scattering and incoherent multiple scattering. Kinematical electron scattering intensity is scaled using the electron scattering factors. The PDFs obtained after Fourier transforms are normalized with respect to number density, nanoparticle form factor and the non-negativity of probability density. SUePDF is distributed as free software for academic users.

Application of the Concept Circle in the Software GUI Matlab


 
 
 Mathematics as a basic science has objects that are abstract, mathematical aimed at understanding the concept by providing the ability to reason logically, systematically, critical, careful and creative so that if the mathematics are taught using the book will be hard to accept students. Junior high school students in general are still difficulties in learning mathematics in particular on the material loop. Therefore, it needs the development of more interactive learning media and can help students in the learning process, one of them with the help of Software Graphic User Interface (GUI) Matlab. The concept of a circle is presented in the form of Software GUI Matlab so that students can use to understand the concepts of geometry with ease and be more independent, and help teachers to explain the concept of the circle in the learning process. The application of the concept of the circle in Matlab GUI Software is done by constructing a circle 1. Concept definition, 2. Elements of the circle, 3. The corners of the circle, 4. Relationships angle at the center of the circle and the angle of the circle, and 5. Nature tangent to the circle . Data construction concept of one to five are arranged in Matlab GUI program to produce instructional media in the form of software.

Interactive programming in Agda – Objects and graphical user interfaces

AbstractWe develop a methodology for writing interactive and object-based programs (in the sense of Wegner) in dependently typed functional programming languages. The methodology is implemented in the ooAgda library. ooAgda provides a syntax similar to the one used in object-oriented programming languages, thanks to Agda's copattern matching facility. The library allows for the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), including the use of action listeners.Our notion of interactive programs is based on the IO monad defined by Hancock and Setzer, which is a coinductive data type. We use asizedcoinductive type which allows us to write corecursive programs in a modular way. Objects are server-side interactive programs that respond to method calls by giving answers and changing their state. We introduce two kinds of objects: simple objects and IO objects. Methods in simple objects are pure, while method calls in IO objects allow for interactions before returning their result. Our approach also allows us to extend interfaces and objects by additional methods.We refine our approach to state-dependent interactive programs and objects through which we can avoid exceptions. For example, with a state-dependent stack object, we can statically disable the pop method for empty stacks. As an example, we develop the implementation of recursive functions using a safe stack. Using a coinductive notion of object bisimilarity, we verify basic correctness properties of stack objects and show the equivalence of different stack implementations. Finally, we give a proof of concept that our interaction model allows to write GUI programs in a natural way: we present a simple drawing program, and a program which allows the users to move a small spaceship using a button.

CertDB: A Practical Data Analysis System on Big Data

With the rapid development of big data technologies, more and more companies focus on the integration and analysis of the large scale data which are produced when the companies run, in order to discovering and solving their inner problems. Therefore, a data analysis system is in urgent need to process the big data generated by heterogeneous data sources (e.g. online and offline structured data, semi-structured data and non-structured data). Unfortunately, there is no integrated tool which can universally collect heterogeneous data sources, accomplish data ETL, storage, analysis, and knowledge output. In this paper, an integrated tool: CertDB is proposed, which can provide one-stop services of data collection, analysis, and knowledge output. The CertDB provides services to both expert and inexperienced data analysts, by proving both graphical BI interface and programming interface.

Crystal Identification in Dual-Layer-Offset DOI-PET Detectors Using Stratified Peak Tracking Based on SVD and Mean-Shift Algorithm

An Anger-logic based pixelated PET detector block requires a crystal position map (CPM) to assign the position of each detected event to a most probable crystal index. Accurate assignments are crucial to PET imaging performance. In this paper, we present a novel automatic approach to generate the CPMs for dual-layer offset (DLO) PET detectors using a stratified peak tracking method. In which, the top and bottom layers are distinguished by their intensity difference and the peaks of the top and bottom layers are tracked based on a singular value decomposition (SVD) and mean-shift algorithm in succession. The CPM is created by classifying each pixel to its nearest peak and assigning the pixel with the crystal index of that peak. A Matlab-based graphical user interface program was developed including the automatic algorithm and a manual interaction procedure. The algorithm was tested for three DLO PET detector blocks. Results show that the proposed method exhibits good performance as well as robustness for all the three blocks. Compared to the existing methods, our approach can directly distinguish the layer and crystal indices using the information of intensity and offset grid pattern.

Multi-objective optimization of a triple shaft gas compressor station using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

Triple-shaft gas turbine is one of the most commonly used gas compressor driven in natural gas compressor stations. In this work, exergy equilibrium formula of each components of a gas compressor station was specified and modeled using several mathematical models. The models predicted different parameters based on the environmental and operational conditions. A multivariate linear regression and ANOVA technique were employed to develop high precision models. Exergy analysis showed that the heater and combustion chamber have the lowest exergy efficiency in gas compressor stations. A significant exergy destruction occurs in the combustion chamber and approximately 13MW of the available energy is lost in exhaust. Imperialist Competitive Algorithm was used for single-objective and multi-objective optimizations based on the socio-political relationship of countries. Results of this optimization revealed that application of this novel algorithm, can lead to a significant decrease in the computational time. This algorithm can be applied to the most of the industrial subjects, especially energy issues. Finally, a Matlab graphical user interface program was developed in order to make the modeling and optimization simpler to use. The best gas compressor operating conditions of all gas compressor stations driven by triple-shaft gas turbines can be determined using this algorithm.

LiteITD a MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI) program for topology design of continuum structures

Over the past few decades, topology optimization has emerged as a powerful and useful tool for the design of structures, also exploiting the ever growing computational speed and power. The design process has also been affected by computers which changed the concept of form into the concept of formation and the emergence of digital design. Topology optimization can modify existing designs, incorporate explicit features into a design and generate completely new designs. This paper will show how topology optimization can be used as a digital tool. The liteITD (lite version of Isolines Topology Design) software package will be described with the purpose of providing a tool for topology design. The liteITD program solves the topology optimization of two-dimensional continuum structures using von Mises stress isolines under single or multiple loading conditions, with different material properties in tension and compression, and multiple materials. The liteITD program is fully implemented in the MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB) software environment of MathWorks under Windows operating system. GUIDE (Graphical User Interface Development Environment) was used to create a friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). The usage of this application is directed to students mainly (educational purposes), although also to designers and engineers with experience. The liteITD program can be downloaded and used for free from the website: http://www.upct.es/goe/software/liteITD.php.
