Genetic algorithm and self organizing map based fuzzy hybrid intelligent method for color image segmentation

The grouping of pixels based on some similarity criteria is called image segmentation. In this paper the problem of color image segmentation is considered as a clustering problem and a fixed length genetic algorithm (GA) is used to handle it. The effectiveness of GA depends on the objective function (fitness function) and the initialization of the population. A new objective function is proposed to evaluate the quality of the segmentation and the fitness of a chromosome. In fixed length genetic algorithm the chromosomes have same length, which is normally set by the user. Here, a self organizing map (SOM) is used to determine the number of segments in order to set the length of a chromosome automatically. An opposition based strategy is adopted for the initialization of the population in order to diversify the search process. In some cases the proposed method makes the small regions of an image as separate segments, which leads to noisy segmentation. A simple ad hoc mechanism is devised to refine the noisy segmentation. The qualitative and quantitative results show that the proposed method performs better than the state-of-the-art methods.

基于SOM和 PCA的闽江流域地表水水质综合评价

根据2014年1月至2015年11月闽江流域19个断面的水质月均值监测数据,采用自组织特征映射网络(SOM)和主成分分析(PCA)法研究了闽江流域水质时空变化特征,并用水质指数对闽江水质进行了综合评价。SOM分析将水质样本分为3个空间群组,其中水质变化周期分2个阶段:4—11月、12月至次年3月。PCA法分析表明,春冬季沙溪和富屯溪支流以及闽江下游福州城区河段营养盐水平偏高,在春夏季上游部分河段和下游闽江口有机污染水平偏高。水质指数评价结果显示,闽江流域整体水质较好,其中三大子流域及闽江下游水质评价从优至劣顺序为:富屯溪流域、建溪流域、沙溪流域、闽江下游流域。

Human eye sclera detection and tracking using a modified time-adaptive self-organizing map

This paper investigates the use of time-adaptive self-organizing map (TASOM)-based active contour models (ACMs) for detecting the boundaries of the human eye sclera and tracking its movements in a sequence of images. The task begins with extracting the head boundary based on a skin-color model. Then the eye strip is located with an acceptable accuracy using a morphological method. Eye features such as the iris center or eye corners are detected through the iris edge information. TASOM-based ACM is used to extract the inner boundary of the eye. Finally, by tracking the changes in the neighborhood characteristics of the eye-boundary estimating neurons, the eyes are tracked effectively. The original TASOM algorithm is found to have some weaknesses in this application. These include formation of undesired twists in the neuron chain and holes in the boundary, lengthy chain of neurons, and low speed of the algorithm. These weaknesses are overcome by introducing a new method for finding the winning neuron, a new definition for unused neurons, and a new method of feature selection and application to the network. Experimental results show a very good performance for the proposed method in general and a better performance than that of the gradient vector field (GVF) snake-based method.     

Standardising vulnerability categories

Each vulnerability scanner (VS) represents, identifies and classifies vulnerabilities in its own way, thus making the different scanners difficult to study and compare. Despite numerous efforts by researchers and organisations to solve the disparity in vulnerability names used in the different VSs, vulnerability categories have still not been standardised. This paper highlights the importance of having a standard vulnerability category set. It also outlines an approach towards achieving this goal by generating a standard set of vulnerability categories. A data-clustering algorithm that employs artificial intelligence is used for this purpose. The significance of this research results from having an intelligent technique that aids in the generation of standardised vulnerability categories in a relatively fast way. In addition, the technique is generic in the sense that it allows one to accommodate any VS currently known on the market to create such vulnerability categories. Another benefit is that the approach followed in this paper allows one to also compare various VSs currently available on the market. A prototype is presented to verify the concept.
