Computer science plays a major role in image segmentation and image processing applications. Despite the computational cost, PSO evaluated QCA approaches perform comparable to or better than their crisp counterparts. This novel approach, proposed in this chapter, has been found to enhance the functionality of the CA rule base and thus enhance the established potentiality of the fuzzy-based segment

Pixel classification of watershed satellite image is a challenging task in remote sensing. Uses of Particle Swarm Optimisation and Cellular Automata are significant methods in watershed image segmentation. This paper proposes a method of pixel classification using a new hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Cellular Automata approach. The proposed unsupervised method identifies clusters using 2-Dimen

This chapter proposes a novel offline text dependent writer verification method based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). The method is used to combine the result of Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transforms (DT-CWT) and GLCM features to enhance the GLCM feature performance. The texture is a very important characteristic, which is used to verify the known writer from unknown writers. We have use

An analysis of three experimental films by Austrian filmmaker and artist Kerstin Cmelka (b. 1974): Neurodermitis (1998), Mit mir (2000) and Et in Arcadia ego (2000).

Vitrectomy requires the substitution of the natural vitreous, as well as tamponading of retinal breaks. Clinically available alternatives such as gas and silicone oil have side effects such as inflammation, secondary glaucoma, cataract, and a need for head posturing. In this study, a hydrogel of cross-linked sodium hyaluronic acid (Healaflow(®)) is evaluated for use as a novel vitreous substitute.

he nearby meadows during a number of days, in order to increase the production. During 1991 it has been tested, in two places in Scania (the southernmost part of Sweden), as a system for removing nitrogen from river water. The nitrogen removal measured through mass balance budget is compared with directly measured plant uptake and denitrification. At the first site, Vombs ängar near Vombsjön, wher

The breakup of a liquid jet into irregular liquid structures and droplets leading to the formation of a dilute spray has been simulated numerically. To overcome the shortcomings of certain numerical methods in specific flow regimes, a combined approach has been chosen. The intact liquid core, its primary breakup and the dense spray regime are simulated using the volumes of fluid (VOF) method in co
