Abstract:Object tracking is a dynamic optimization process based on the temporal information related to the previous frames. Proposing a method with higher precision in complex environments is a challenge for researchers in the field of study. In this paper, we have proposed a novel framework for similar object tracking. In our proposed technique we are considering both PETS and Cricket video for input video sequence. The primary steps of suggested technique are preprocessing, background subtraction and segmentation, similar object detection and object tracking. In the preprocessing stage, the adaptive median filter is used to remove the noise from each frame. Next, the foreground and background images are separated and then segmentation of object is carried out by using morphological operation. For similar object detection, the recommended technique uses the modified local self-similarity descriptor and similar object tracking is done by a particle filter. The performance of the suggested technique is evaluated by means of precision, recall, F-measure, FPR, FNR, PWC, FAR, similarity, specificity, and accuracy. An experimental result shows that the proposed technique attains the maximum tracking efficiency for both videos when compared to the existing techniques.
Successful operation of a cupola furnace is highly dependent upon the mitigation of operational problems occurring in them. Cupolas rely on the experience of the operator for a smooth Operation. The focus of this research is to develop a fuzq-logic based expert system, which would provide expert advice to a cupola operator to address multiple operational problems occurring simultaneously in the cupola. An expert system for a cupola operation is not currently available. Expert sub-systems, which address individual operational problems, are deveIoped and tested These sub-systems are integrated using an intelligent methodology so as to provide suggestions that address multiple operational problems simultaneously. A serf-corrective capabili@ was introduced into the expert system by developing an iterative process for some vital parameters in the cupola furnace. Provisions were given to the user to prioritize the inputs and seek the pertinent suggestions fiom expert system. The expert sysfem was tested on a set of operational problems. It performed satisfactorily. As expected some problems could not be addressed simultaneously as they require contradictory solutions. The user was given the ability to modify the requirements so that a solution satisfiing part of the requirements can be achieved
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.
