Hybrid Color Texture Features Classification Through ANN for Melanoma

Melanoma is of the lethal and rare types of skin cancer.It is curable at an initial stage and the patient can survive easily.It is very difficult to screen all skin lesion patients due to costly treatment.Clinicians are requiring a correct method for the right treatment for dermoscopic clinical features such as lesion borders,pigment networks,and the color of melanoma.These challenges are required an automated system to classify the clinical features of melanoma and non-melanoma disease.The trained clinicians can overcome the issues such as low contrast,lesions varying in size,color,and the existence of several objects like hair,reflections,air bubbles,and oils on almost all images.Active contour is one of the suitable methods with some drawbacks for the segmentation of irre-gular shapes.An entropy and morphology-based automated mask selection is pro-posed for the active contour method.The proposed method can improve the overall segmentation along with the boundary of melanoma images.In this study,features have been extracted to perform the classification on different texture scales like Gray level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)and Local binary pattern(LBP).When four different moments pull out in six different color spaces like HSV,Lin RGB,YIQ,YCbCr,XYZ,and CIE L*a*b then global information from different colors channels have been combined.Therefore,hybrid fused texture features;such as local,color feature as global,shape features,and Artificial neural network(ANN)as classifiers have been proposed for the categorization of the malignant and non-malignant.Experimentations had been carried out on datasets Dermis,DermQuest,and PH2.The results of our advanced method showed super-iority and contrast with the existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Resource Based Automatic Calibration System (RBACS) Using Kubernetes Framework

Kubernetes,a container orchestrator for cloud-deployed applications,allows the application provider to scale automatically to match thefluctuating intensity of processing demand.Container cluster technology is used to encapsulate,isolate,and deploy applications,addressing the issue of low system reliability due to interlocking failures.Cloud-based platforms usually entail users define application resource supplies for eco container virtualization.There is a constant problem of over-service in data centers for cloud service providers.Higher operating costs and incompetent resource utilization can occur in a waste of resources.Kubernetes revolutionized the orchestration of the container in the cloud-native age.It can adaptively manage resources and schedule containers,which provide real-time status of the cluster at runtime without the user’s contribution.Kubernetes clusters face unpredictable traffic,and the cluster performs manual expansion configuration by the controller.Due to operational delays,the system will become unstable,and the service will be unavailable.This work proposed an RBACS that vigorously amended the distribution of containers operating in the entire Kubernetes cluster.RBACS allocation pattern is analyzed with the Kubernetes VPA.To estimate the overall cost of RBACS,we use several scientific benchmarks comparing the accomplishment of container to remote node migration and on-site relocation.The experiments ran on the simulations to show the method’s effectiveness yielded high precision in the real-time deployment of resources in eco containers.Compared to the default baseline,Kubernetes results in much fewer dropped requests with only slightly more supplied resources.

Enhancement of Quality of Secondary Industrial Wastewater Effluent by Coagulation Process: A Case Study

The local wastewater treatment facility in Yanbu Industrial City receives 24,000 m3/day of industrial wastewater. This wastewater, mostly from refineries and petrochemical industries, goes through physical, biological and chemical stages of treatment. However, the treated water still fails to pass some of the permissible levels set by governmental agencies. This research paper investigated the enhancement of the treatment processes to reduce the turbidity of the effluent treated water. Ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate, alum and commercial synthetic cationic polymer were tried as coagulants. Different conditions (i.e., pH, temperature, dose, stirring rate) were searched. Ferrous sulfate and polymer reduced the final turbidity to acceptable values with very low doses compared with other coagulant.

Automatic Detection of Weapons in Surveillance Cameras Using Efficient-Net

The conventional Close circuit television(CCTV)cameras-based surveillance and control systems require human resource supervision.Almost all the criminal activities take place using weapons mostly a handheld gun,revolver,pistol,swords etc.Therefore,automatic weapons detection is a vital requirement now a day.The current research is concerned about the real-time detection of weapons for the surveillance cameras with an implementation of weapon detection using Efficient–Net.Real time datasets,from local surveillance department’s test sessions are used for model training and testing.Datasets consist of local environment images and videos from different type and resolution cameras that minimize the idealism.This research also contributes in the making of Efficient-Net that is experimented and results in a positive dimension.The results are also been represented in graphs and in calculations for the representation of results during training and results after training are also shown to represent our research contribution.Efficient-Net algorithm gives better results than existing algorithms.By using Efficient-Net algorithms the accuracy achieved 98.12%when epochs increase as compared to other algorithms.

Improved RC6 Block Cipher Based on Data Dependent Rotations

This paper introduces an Improved RC6(IRC6)cipher for data encryption based on data-dependent rotations.The proposed scheme is designed with the potential of meeting the needs of the Advanced Encryption Standard(AES).Four parameters are used to characterize the proposed scheme.These parameters are the size of the word(w)in bits,the number of rounds(r),the length of the secret key(b)in bytes,and the size of the block(L)in bits.The main feature of IRC6 is the variable number of working registers instead of just four registers as in RC6,resulting in a variable block size for plaintext and ciphertext.The IRC6 cipher is designed to improve the robustness against attacks by increasing the diffusion for each round and providing greater security with fewer rounds.The effectiveness of the proposed IRC6 scheme is verified against theoretical attacks.The proposed IRC6 scheme depends on full diffusion and confusion mechanisms regardless of the utilized block size.The proposed IRC6 scheme saves 70%of the encryption time and 64%of the decryption time of RC6.The simulation results prove that the IRC6 achieves a better encryption/decryption time compared to the traditionalRC6.Therefore,the proposed IRC6 is anticipated to fulfill the market needs and system security requirements.
