most of the erythrocyte related diseases are detectable by hematology images analysis. at the first step of this analysis, segmentation and detection of blood cells are inevitable. in this study, a novel method using a line operator and watershed algorithm is rendered for erythrocyte detection and segmentation in blood smear images, as well as reducing over-segmentation in watershed algorithm t...

Sign Language Recognition is one of the most growing fields of research today. Many new techniques have been developed recently in these fields. Here in this paper, we have proposed a system using Eigen value weighted Euclidean distance as a classification technique for recognition of various Sign Languages of India. The system comprises of four parts: Skin Filtering, Hand Cropping, Feature Ext...

This paper presents a method that, based on a field-theoretic approach to photometry, accurately and efficiently measures and models arbitrarily complex three-dimensional light sources. It allows the prediction of direct illuminance at any point on any surface anywhere within the surrounding 3-D space without requiring any knowledge of the geometry of the source or its distance from the surface...

this study considers an eoq inventory model with advance payment policy in a fuzzy situation by employing two types of fuzzy numbers that are trapezoidal and triangular. two fuzzy models are developed here. in the first model the cost parameters are fuzzified, but the demand rate is treated as crisp constant. in the second model, the demand rate is fuzzified but the cost parameters are treated ...

For ̄ exible manufacture of a doubly curved sheet metal, a new sheet metal forming process is proposed that uses a movable punch set composed of two pairs of lower support punches and one upper centre punch. The process is characterized by ̄ exibility compared with the existing conventional processes because it does not require any complex-shaped die and the loss of material is minimized by unc...
