We focus in this paper on the detection of emotions collected in real-life context. In order to improve our emotional valence detection system, we have tested new voice quality features that are mainly used for speech synthesis or voice transformation: the relaxation coefficient (Rd) and the functions of phase distortion (FPD); but also usual voice quality features. Distributions of voice quali...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Low-quality bowel preparation reduces efficacy of colonoscopy. We aimed to summarize effects of bowel preparation on detection of adenomas, advanced adenomas and colorectal cancer. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed regarding detection of colonic lesions after normal and low-quality bowel preparation. Reported bowel preparation quality was transformed to ...

Inactivated severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus samples were used for an external quality assurance study within the World Health Organization SARS Reference and Verification Network and other reference institutions. Of 58 participants, 51 correctly detected virus in all samples > or =9,400 RNA copies per milliliter and none in negative samples. Commercial test kits signifi...

Use of image processing technique is increasing day by day in all fields. In agriculture it is also used to check the quality of vegetables and fruits. Shape, colour and size are the image features which help in quality detection of vegetables. In this paper proposed method is used to increase the accuracy of the vegetable quality detection by using colour, shape, and size based method with com...

Biometrics refers to automated recognition of individuals based on their biological and behavioral characteristics. Biometric systems are widely used for security. They are used in forensic and commercial applications. Among all biometric techniques, fingerprint recognition is the most widely used for personal identification systems due to its permanence and uniqueness. But biometric systems ar...

Content analysis of video and still images is attractive for multiple reasons, such as enabling content-based actions and image manipulation. This paper presents a new algorithm and feature model for blue-sky detection. The algorithm classifies the sky areas by computing a pixel-accurate sky probability. Such a probabilistic measure matches well with the requirements of typical video enhancemen...

One of the main challenges of fuzzy community detection problems is to be able to measure the quality of a fuzzy partition. In this paper, we present an alternative way of measure the quality of a fuzzy community detection output based on n-dimensional grouping and overlapping functions that generalize the classical modularity for crisp community detection problems and also for crisp overlappin...

IDS (Intrusion Detection system) is an active and driving defense technology. This project mainly focuses on intrusion detection based on data mining. Data mining is to identify valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in massive data. This project presents an approach to detect intrusion based on data mining frame work. Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a popu...
