Abstract

Ancient document usually contains multiple noises such as uneven-background, show-through, water-spilling, spots, and blur text. The noise will affect the binarization process. Binarization is an extremely important process in image processing, especially for character recognition. This paper presents an improvement to Nina binarization technique. Improvements were achieved by reducing processing steps and replacing median filtering by Wiener filtering. First, the document background was approximated by using Wiener filter, and then image subtraction was applied. Furthermore, the manuscript contrast was adjusted by mapping intensity of image value using intensity transformation method. Next, the local Otsu thresholding was applied. For removing spotting noise, we applied labeled connected component. The proposed method had been testing on H-DIBCO 2014 and degraded Jawi handwritten ancient documents. It performed better regarding recall and precision values, as compared to Otsu, Niblack, Sauvola, Lu, Su, and Nina, especially in the documents with show-through, water-spilling and combination noises.

Abstract

Recently, the identification system is not limited in using an ID and personal identification number (PIN) but also in using biometriccharacteristics.One of biometric characteristics that has been widely used is fingerprint.This paper proposes a fingerprint matching algorithms using ordinal measure of DCT coefficient. The ordinal measure of DCT coefficient is generated from DCT blocks with size 8x8 pixels. Matching level was determined by computing the Minkowski distance between features of input fingerprint image and fingerprint images in the database. The simulations were accomplished using 128 fingerprints that have been normalized, from which as many as 1024 genuine attempts and 15360 impostor attempts were generated. The proposed algorithms achievedan Equal Error Rate (EER) at threshold 0.3. At the EER, it resulted in FAR value of 0.82%, and FRR value of 78.41% respectively.The low value of FAR showed that the system wasconsiderably secure.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i6.4373

Abstract

Ancient manuscripts written in Malay-Arabic characters, which are known as "Jawi" characters, are mostly found in Malay world. Nowadays, many of the manuscripts have been digitalized. Unlike Roman letters, there is no optical character recognition (OCR) software for Jawi characters. This article proposes a new algorithm for Jawi character recognition based on Hu’s moment as an invariant feature that we call the tree root (TR) algorithm. The TR algorithm allows every Jawi character to have a unique combination of moment. Seven values of the Hu’s moment are calculated from all Jawi characters, which consist of 36 isolated, 27 initial, 27 middle, and 35 end characters; this makes a total of 125 characters. The TR algorithm was then applied to recognize these characters. To assess the TR algorithm, five characters that had been rotated to 90o and 180o and scaled with factors of 0.5 and 2 were used. Overall, the recognition rate of the TR algorithm was 90.4%; 113 out of 125 characters have a unique combination of moment values, while testing on rotated and scaled characters achieved 82.14% recognition rate. The proposed method showed a superior performance compared with the Support Vector Machine and Euclidian Distance as classifier.

Abstract

In a wireless cooperative network, system reliability can be improved by introducing network coding (NC) for transmitting data packets from user to destination through relay nodes. At the destination, a decoding strategy is required to recover the original data packets. The use of NC in cooperative networks has been intensively studied in previous works in terms of the conventional model for two users and a single relay in a network. However, the network model cannot act as a virtual multiple-input multiple-output system, and a multi-user multi-relay network model could be used in a real system. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved model of two network decoding strategies, selection with soft combining (SSC) and selection with hard combining (SHC), for multi-user multi-relay cooperative networks. Users are classified based on their channel conditions, with better signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio sources being viewed as strong users, and others as weak or moderate users in the decoding strategies. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we first derive the bit error probability expressions for each strategy as a function of SNR and then evaluate the performance using numerical simulation for a Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation results show that SSC outperforms SHC. Furthermore, the improvement in network performance is achieved either by having a higher modulation level or using incremental relaying as the signal reception method at the destination.

Abstract

In document binarization, text is segmented from the background. This is an important step, since the binarization outcome determines the success rate of the optical character recognition (OCR). In ancient documents, that are commonly noisy, binarization becomes more difficult. The noise can reduce binarization performance, and thus the OCR rate. This paper proposes a new binarization approach based on an assumption that the histograms of noisy documents consist of multipeaks. The proposed method comprises three steps: histogram calculation, histogram smoothing, and the use of the histogram to track the first valley and determine the binarization threshold. In our simulations we used a set of Jawi ancient document images with natural noises. This set is composed of 24 document tiles containing two noise types: show-through and uneven background. To measure performance, we designed and implemented a point compilation scheme. On average, the proposed method performed better than the Otsu method, with the total point score obtained by the former being 7.5 and that of the latter 4.5. Our results show that as long as the histogram fulfills the multipeak assumption, the proposed method can perform satisfactorily.

Abstract

 Aceh province is the most affected area by the tsunami of 26 December 2004. Aceh also has experiencing a number of natural hazards; flood, earthquakes, and volcano’s eruptions. Until now, Aceh has no natural hazards information system which can be used to increase public awareness in order to reduce the impact of the hazards. Natural hazards information system provides hazard maps as the guideline for disaster risk mitigation planning. Therefore, the development of a Web GIS based information system for Aceh natural hazards, referred as Aceh Natural Hazards Information System (ANHIS), is a very strategic decision to increase public awareness of the risks of natural disaster hazard in Aceh. This paper proposes conceptual design and the development of prototype for ANHIS. The main purpose of ANHIS is to visualize many natural hazards maps and disseminate information of the hazardous areas for disaster agencies, researchers and communities in order to help them act on warning issue. In order to develop the prototype, the system requirements, configuration, system design and implementation are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the results of prototype for ANHIS are demonstrated in terms of individual hazard map and multi-hazard map of many natural hazards in Aceh. Finally, the conclusions give the perspectives for future implementation of ANHIS.

Abstract

Remote sensing technology is useful to give a better understanding about the earth’s characteristics. SeaWiFS (sea-viewing wide field-of-view sensor) is one of remote sensors used to observe global ocean phenomena. Previous studies showed that the distribution of chlorophyll-a in the ocean indicates the presence of fish. However, only a few studies tried to directly relate the chlorophyll-a distribution obtained through interpretation of satellite imagery to in-situ data of fish distribution. This paper investigates the relation between chlorophyll-a distribution and fish-capturing points in Aceh Province sea waters using overlay image analysis. The results are useful to identify the potential fishing ground in Aceh. The profile of chlorophyll-a concentration was derived from SeaWIFS satellite imagery and fish-capturing points data was obtained from the fisherman communities of Banda Aceh, starting from June to November 2008. The results show that the chlorophyll-a profile derived from satellite imagery has a positive relationship to fish-capturing point data. The most potential fish-capturing zone in Aceh sea waters is identified at 5-8º north latitude (N) and 96-99º east longitude (E).

Abstract

In recent years, cross spectral matching has been gaining attention in various biometric systems for identification and verification purposes. Cross spectral matching allows images taken under different electromagnetic spectrums to match each other. In cross spectral matching, one of the keys for successful matching is determined by the features used for representing an image. Therefore, the feature extraction step becomes an essential task. Researchers have improved matching accuracy by developing robust features. This paper presents most commonly selected features used in cross spectral matching. This survey covers basic concepts of cross spectral matching, visual and thermal features extraction, and state of the art descriptors. In the end, this paper provides a description of better feature selection methods in cross spectral matching.
