Judul: Pencocokan citra daun menggunakan kurva b-spline
Abstrak: B-spline stands as an efficient curve representation because of its properties and it has been widely used in computer aided design and computer graphics. Finding point correspondence between two curves is a fundametal task in b-spline curve matching. A b-spline curve is not uniqely described by a single set of control points. That is, with different choice for placement of the knot points, a different control points can be induced, but still describe the same curve. This condition is worsen if few knots and control points is used for curve matching. Thus, the direct comparison for knot and control points is not appropriate for curve matching. This research proposed an approach that incorporates deformable mapping (deformation energy) and geometric characteristics (strain difference) of spline curve. This method was implemented on plant leaf image. As the result, same species leaves have low total cost as compared to different species leaves.

Judul: Ekstraksi Fitur Bentuk dan Venasi Citra Daun dengan Pemodelan Fourier dan B-Spline
Abstrak: Leaf features extraction on plant leaf image is still be a problem on automatic plant leaf identification. Shape and venation of leaf are a significant part of leaf for distinguishing a species of leaf from each other. Shape feature extraction with Hough transform and Fourier descriptor were implemented and their effectiveness on leaf shape recognition were compared. Effectiveness of both shape recognition methods were evaluated by recall-precision measurement. Recall-precision evaluation showed that leaf shape represented by Fourier descriptors is more effective than represented by Hough transform. Plant leaf image vein extraction using b-spline representation was implemented. An automatic initialitation of vein search parameter using Standard I-Iough Transform was proposed.

Judul: Antibody Responses against Newcastle Disease and Evaluation of Infectious Bronchitis Maternal Derived Antibody on Vaccinated Layers.
Abstrak: Information of maternal derived antibody (MDA) and onset of immunity after vaccination is important to determine appropriate vaccination programme of chickens. The aim of this study was to evaluate duration of Infectious Bronchitis (IB) MDA and evaluate onset of immunity Newcastle Disease (ND) vaccination among layers. All layers were vaccinated using live ND and Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) at one day old age, and received Avian Rhinotracheitis (AR) vaccine at 4 day old age. Serum samples were collected at various ages: 7, 10, 14, 20, 22, 24, 29 and 35 day old. The presence of ND antibodies was measured by the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test, whilst the presence of IB antibodies was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our study showed that ND antibodies were at positive level until 24 day old age, and reached protective level ≥ 25 only at 7 day old age, whilst IB MDA were positive up to 17 day old age. This result indicating the needs of ND booster vaccination at least at 24 day old and IB vaccination at 17 day old age.
