Image Retrieval System Using Fusion of Texture Features with Various Distance Metrics

Abstract- From last few years, the need of massive database used to store vast images has been developed rapidly and will also grow in the future. Content Based Image Retrieval System (CBIRS) provides us at most outcome to fetch the images from massive dataset. We present the proposed work which is “Fusion of CBIRS using Color and texture with various distance metrics”. In these systems, two features like Color and Texture are used to represent an image. For Color feature extraction, techniques like Color histogram (CH), Color Moment (CM) have been described. Grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is used for texture features extraction. In this paper, fusion of Color and Texture based retrieval system is described. By using the fusion approach, better results can be produced with the higher precision value. Retrieval time of images is more so we design a CBIR system using many distance metrics for similarity calculation and by using the best distance metric for reducing the Retrieval time. Euclidean distance, KL-Divergence distance, Manhattan distance, Jaccard, Cosine distance is used. GLCM technique which is used for texture features extraction obtained 91% average precision, LBP features obtained 92% average precision and fusion of both texture features extraction obtained 95% average precision.

Harmonic-band Complex Wavelet Transform Audio Analysis and Synthesis

A novel improvement to an existing wavelet representation is presented within the context of analysis and synthesis of harmonic audio signals. The approach replaces the discrete wavelet transform stage in the harmonic-band wavelet transform with the dual-tree complex wavelet transform. The harmonic-band wavelet transform lacks explicit phase information, is subject to considerable transform domain coefficient aliasing and its filters exhibit poor frequency selectivity and high sidelobe levels. Integration of the dual-tree complex wavelet transform mitigates all of these disadvantages and significantly improves the accuracy of signal synthesis where signals are synthesised through autoregressive analysis and linear prediction of transform domain coefficients.
El desarrollo de las habilidades socioemocionales en la formación inicial docente

This article aims to analyze the role of socio-emotional skills in education and the impact that these skills generate on the integral development of future teachers. To adequately contribute to this training process, it is necessary for teachers to have tools to guide their students. This was done through a theoretical review of different authors, the teaching experience and the non-participant observation made during the follow-up of the Teaching Practices in Real Working Conditions of the Seventh and Eighth Semesters of the Escuela Normal Superior Veracruzana “Dr. Manuel Suarez Trujillo”, looking to identify the importance that this topic has in the current context of the Educacion Normal of Mexico.
Hand Gesture Recognition using k-means clustering and Convolutional neural networks

Hand gesture recognition can be defined as an ability of a computer to recognize meaningful expressions of form and motion by a human involving only the hands. These hand gesture recognitions have plenty of replications which can be applied for improving control, accessibility, communication and learning. There is a complexity issue with this hand gesture recognition feature extraction, for example the variation of the light and background. In this paper, the convolution neural network is applied for the recognition of gestures, and the characteristics of convolution neural network are used to overcome the issue of feature extraction process and reduce the number of parameters needs to be trained. The purpose of unsupervised learning, error back propagation algorithm can be finally achieved which is loaded into the convolution neural network algorithm, modify the threshold and weights of neural network to reduce the error of the model. The advantage of our method is that there is no need for feature extraction. Without explicitly segmenting foreground the proposed CNN learns to recognize the hand pose even in presence of complex, varying background or illumination.

Enhance embedding capacity for switch map based multi-group EMD datahiding

Exploiting Modification Direction (EMD) based data hiding achieves good stego-image quality and high security level. Recently, a section-wise EMD was proposed to enhance the embedding capacity of EMD. Later, Wang et al. introduced a switch map based multi-group EMD to further improve the embedding capacity. However, by a detail observation on the switch map in Wang et al.os scheme, we find that more codewords with longer code-length can be put into the switch map. In this paper, we build a new switch map by Huffman code, and construct an enhanced multi-group EMD using Huffman code based switch map. Our scheme has higher embedding capacity than Wang et al.os scheme and other EMD based data hiding methods.
Toward Complex Search for Encrypted Mobile Cloud Data via Index Blind Storage

In this chapter, the authors propose a searchable encryption scheme that relies on an attribute vector-based index blind storage (IBS) technique so as to support multi-key and range search for multi-owner multi-user application. All data and index files will be encrypted through the traditional symmetric encryption method before uploading. In particular, the index files are shredded into pieces and stored with the IBS mechanism. As a general rule, outsourced data are encrypted with various cryptographic algorithms, then secure indexes are generated by executing some searchable encryption schemes. When the encrypted data arrive at the client side, unauthorized users can only recover the shared part, while the private part can only be seen by the authorized one. Encrypting the data before uploading it to the Cloud Service Provider appears as a natural solution to overcome an information leakage since it can safeguard users’ data privacy.
Application of improved firefly optimization algorithm in motion shadow removal

The motion shadow is conglutinous with the object, and has the consistency of motion. It is often misdetected as a part of the moving target. The existence of motion shadow changes the shape of the moving object and influences the further analysis of the foreground of the moving target. To solve this problem, a motion shadow removal algorithm based on improved firefly optimization algorithm is proposed. The optimal threshold is obtained by optimizing the 2-Otsu distance measure function based on the improved glowworm algorithm which is based on the influence of the best position in the population history, and then the image is segmented and the moving shadow is removed. Compared our method with the traditional 2-Otsu method, particle swarm optimization (PSO) optimize 2-Otsu method, firefly optimization algorithm (FA) optimize 2-Otsu method, the experimental results show that the algorithm are 2.69, 1.42 and 1.21 times faster than the other three methods in the presence of shadow. Besides, it is superior to the other three algorithms in terms of region consistency, shadow detection rate and recognition rate. The effectiveness of the method is verified.
Children and modern society

In the process of becoming and perfecting the self, the couple and the family are the ones that define as the fundamental matrix of life. In and through the family, man enters and then incorporates, assimilates and participates in spiritual, religious, cultural and material values. The marital couple expresses structurally and functionally the way in which two opposite sexes intertwine creatively, mutually developing and complementing, interacting and fusing, biologically, psychologically and socially.
Structural inequalities, exclusion, and minorities in Africa

This chapter argues that the exclusion of minorities persists because states have little economic and political incentives to protect minorities and indigenous peoples. It suggests that tension arises when the objective of national economic development conflicts with the protection of indigenous people’s rights. The chapter focuses on the issues facing minorities across Africa, followed by a discussion of the concept of economic exclusion. It examines the two economic perspectives on economic exclusion, and the relevance of context in policy decisions. The chapter discusses the economic reasons why policymakers should commit to more inclusion, among them increases in welfare and economic growth. Originating in the United States, stratification economics literature was initially aimed at explaining the persistent white versus black inequalities by focusing on the nexus between discrimination, identity, and social stratification. The chapter discusses protections including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic or social origin, color, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language, and birth.

Forensics Analysis of an On-line Game over Steam Platform

Currently on-line gaming represents a severe threat to the forensic community, as criminals have started to use on-line gaming as communication channels instead of traditional channels like WhatsApp or Facebook. In this paper, we describe a methodology developed after conducting an in-depth digital forensic analysis of the central artifacts of a popular video-game - Counter Strike Nexon Zombies video-game (Steam platform) - where valuable artifacts are those that related to the chatting features of the game. For our research we analyzed the network, volatile, and disk captures for two generated cases and focused on chat-feature inside and outside of the in-game rounds and the live chat done through YouTube Live Streaming. Our results provide the forensic community a complete guideline that can be used when dealing with a real criminal case in which there is a Steam video-game involved. Besides the forensic analysis, we found a security vulnerability (session hijacking) which was reported to the game manufacturer as soon it was discovered.

A Network Information Data Protection Scheme Based on Superposition Encryption

The wide application of virtualization, big data, cloud storage and other technologies has made the data centralized storage increase security risks and leakage risks. For the problem of internal personnel using legal identity and role to steal internal information, this paper proposes a network information data protection architecture based on superposition encryption from the process of data generation, transmission, storage and processing. Based on the framework, including information storage protection based on symmetric cryptography and information transmission protection based on hybrid cryptography, a network information data protection scheme based on superimposed encryption is designed. Finally, the security of the scheme is proved.
Evaluation of Rich and Explicit Feedback for Exploratory Search

A user’s goals and interests during an exploratory search task are often ambiguous and complex. When engaging with new documents, people regularly use annotations to help better understand them and make them their own. These annotations can also pro- vide rich information to gain insight into a reader’s interests. In particular, it is possible to use highlights as a richer form of feed- back compared to traditional document-level relevance feedback. We first show that this form of feedback leads to improvements in document retrieval in exploratory search tasks with simulated users when compared to relevance feedback. We then present an evaluation platform which will allow us to understand the retrieval performance, user experience, and behavioral characteristics of human subjects using highlights as feedback. Finally, we propose an experimental design with human subjects. We hope that our experimental findings will help improve current simulated user evaluations for such systems.
Consumption Data in the Built Environment: A Concept Study Using Social Translucence Theory

With increased access to data, we are not far from a future where communities will be sharing higher levels of information and data, which will establish cause and consequence associations around peoples’ actions and behavior. This is particularly important for information related to consumption patterns within a community, as individual actions impact overall community resources. To avoid misinterpretations of such data, and to enable users to become aware of the impact of their personal consumption, this work uses Social Translucence Theory as a potential framework to design and prepare the built environment for this information sharing future. The chapter starts by describing the theory and related work but also consumption behaviors and how these have been approached in terms of feedback. It defines Social Translucence theory parameters that could help users to adopt coherent behaviors without compromising each other’s well-being by highlighting in advance the consequences of such information being disseminated across diverse channels. A concept study was conducted using scenario-based design, for which five consumption behaviors were selected, portrayed in scenarios and stories, and validated using a survey that reached 584 respondents. The results revealed participants were familiar with some of the cues provided in each scenario, but also suggested which ones should be further refined to make sure basic rights, such as privacy, are given to users when their personal data is considered.
A Study on K-University Students’ Perceptions on Green and Blue CK with IPA

The purpose of this study is to present practical tourism education program which is necessary to help four-year university students with their tourism major. To investigate students’ perceptions on the Creative Korean(CK) project for university characterization, using a sample of 141 and IPA analysis applied to develop suggestions to improve the educational system on a two-dimensional matrix. The findings are as follows. Students who attended CK Tourism Program of K University suggested quadrantⅠ(keep it up) attributes, such as service mind, escape from theory education, understanding corporate cultures, teamwork, gain certificates and licenses, programs multiplicity, global standard, education facilities and utilization of materials. Concentrative attributes(quadrant Ⅱ) were necessary to increase in understanding of tourism major. Low priority (quadrant Ⅲ) were suggested attributes, such as field education, empirical education, interchange expert, global education, supporting employment. To overcome low attributes(quadrant Ⅳ), time management should be necessary to change students’ perception about CK. Even though survey methods and used attributes may be limitations of this study, related research will be continued to overcome some limitations.
On the $$(1+u^2+u^3)$$ -Constacyclic and Cyclic Codes Over the Finite Ring $$ {F}_2+u{F}_2+u^2{F}_2+u^3{F}_2+v{F}_2 $$

In this paper a new finite ring is introduced along with its algebraic properties. In addition, a new Gray map is defined on the ring. The Gray images of both the cyclic and the $$(1+u^{2}+u^{3})$$ -constacyclic codes over the finite ring are found to be permutation equivalent to binary quasicyclic codes.
Sustaining the Implementation of Dual-Language Programme (DLP) in Malaysian Secondary Schools

Objective - The implementation of Dual-Language Programmes (DLP) in the teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics is an initiative under the ‘Upholding the Malay Language and Strengthening the English Language’ (MBMMBI) policy. Though it has some similarities with the previous policy known as ‘English for the Teaching of Science and Mathematics’ (PPSMI), its execution is idiosyncratic in its own way. Since its inception in 2016, the programme has entered its third cycle involving students in primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. The curiosity to scrutinise the programme implementation has led to this study. The study aims to investigate the execution of this programme and to assess its sustainability. Methodology/Technique – Gleaning through the students’ language capabilities, attitudes, teachers’ support and acceptance of the programme, the study uses a questionnaire with open-ended questions and focus group discussions to unravel the aforementioned issues. 1,530 students from secondary schools across Malaysia were selected as the respondents of this study. Findings - The results reveal findings that may represent a measure on the direction of this programme. Looking from the student perspective, the challenges confronted in addition to those put forward may further serve as an indicator for the sustainability of the program. Novelty – This study infers how the programme can be further enhanced in terms of its implementation in its fourth year since inception. The findings of this study may assist policy makers in shaping the direction of the programme. Type of Paper: Empirical.
