The process of managing the blood bag that is received from the blood donation events needs a proper and systematic management. The blood bag must be handled with care and treated thoroughly as it is related to someone's life. The development of Web-based Blood Bank Management System (BBMS) is proposed to provide a management functional to the blood bank in order to handle the blood bag. In Kuala Terengganu, East Peninsular Coast of Malaysia has only one government hospital that handles blood bank currently is using a standalone system. This web-based management system was developed to meet the requirements for Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital (HSNZ). Other hospital may have different ways and approach of handling blood bag. The methodology used to build this system uses the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The technology platform in implementing this system uses J2EE programming environment with Java and JSP, using MySQL for SQL database and HTML5, CSS and JavaScript for web development.
This paper presents a method of detecting overlapping mango fruits from the complex background image. This research uses image that is obtained from a digital camera. This method is based on pre-processing the input image using the texture analysis to determine the boundary of each overlapping fruits. The image is processed to determine the actual boundary, converted to binary images, and utilise dilation and erosion to determine the object. We use ellipse fitting by applying Randomized Hough Transform to search the potential area of the mango fruit. Ellipse fitting are chosen because the shape of the mango fruit is similar to ellipse shape. Using these techniques, the fruit is successfully detected including the fruits that are overlapping with each other.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
