Over the last decades, digital image processing based fire and smoke detection have been improving steadily to provide a more accurate detection results in the area of surveillance security system. Detection of the fire and smoke from the surveillance videos is very challenging task due to the complex structural properties of the video frames or images and need improvisation in the existing work by utilization of feature selection or optimization approach to select on optimal feature according to the fire and smoke. A research based on the combination of various feature extraction techniques with feature selection approach for fire and smoke detection has been presented in this paper. In this research, we develop Fire and Smoke Detection (FSD) system using digital image processing with the concept of Speed up Robust Feature (SURF) along with the Intelligent Water Drops (IWD) as a feature selection and optimization algorithm. Here, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique with that helps to select a set of optimal feature from the extracted by SURF descriptor from the video frames. By utilizing the concept of optimized ANN, the accuracy of proposed FSD system is increases in terms of detection accuracy and with minimum percentage of error. At last, the performance of the FSD system is calculated to validate the model and this shows that it is possible to use IWD with SURF as a feature extraction technique in order to detect the fire or smoke form the surveillance video with minimum error rate and the simulation results clearly show the effectiveness of proposed FSD system

Traditional fabric is a cultural heritage that has to be preserved. Kain Lunggi is Sambas traditional fabric that saw a decline in its crafter. To introduce Kain Lunggi in a broader national and global society in order to preserve it, a digital image processing based system to perform Kain Lunggi pattern recognition need to be built. Feature extraction is an important part of digital image processing. The visual feature that does not represent the character of an object will affect the accuracy of a recognition system. The purposes of this research are to perform feature selection on sets of feature to determine the best feature that can increase recognition accuracy. This research conducted in several steps which are image acquisition of Kain Lunggi pattern, preprocessing to reduce image noise, feature extraction to obtain image features, and feature selection. GLCM is implemented as a feature extraction method.  Feature extraction result will be used in a feature selection process using CFS (Correlation-based Feature Selection) methods. Selected features from CFS process are Angular Second Moment, Contrast, and Correlation. Selected features evaluation is conducted by calculating classification accuracy with the KNN method. Classification accuracy prior to feature extraction is 85.18% with K values K=1 ; meanwhile, the accuracy increases to 88.89% after feature selection. The highest accuracy improvement of 20.74% in KNN occurred when using K value K= 4.

Lung cancer is a serious health concern, which is also one of the major types of cancer that has a profound impact on the overall cancer mortality rates. The detection of lung cancer nodules is quite a challenge as the major challenge is the structure of the cancer nodules; here the cells are imbricated with each other. The prediction and classification of lung cancer is done by applying digital image processing techniques to the acquired input images of the nodules. This methodology also aids early detection which in turns reduces the criticality of the condition and provides scope for early intervention and treatment. The prediction methodology involves extracting several features of the lung cancer cell and then applying pattern-based prediction techniques. In recent times, owing to the fact that the time and execution parameters are very important aspects to detect the abnormality of the fast-spreading cancer cells, digital image processing techniques are being widely deployed. The fundamental factors of this research are the quality of image assessment and the precision of feature extraction. Following our proposed methodology, a clear picture of the region of interest is obtained which acts as a basis for the feature extraction process. Here an overall evaluation of the digital image processing techniques used by previous scholars for the finding and classification of lung cancer nodules have also been emphasised.

Detection of plant leaf disease has been considered an interesting research field which is helpful to improve the crop and fruit yield. Computer vision and machine learning based approaches have gained huge attraction in digital image processing field. Several visual computing based techniques have been presented in the past for early prediction of plant leaf diseases. However, detection accuracy is still considered as a challenging task. Hence, in order to overcome this issue, we introduce a novel hybrid approach carried out in three forms. During the first phase, image enhancement and image conversion scheme are incorporated, which helps to overcome the low-illumination and noise related issues. In the next phase, a combined feature extraction technique is developed by using GLCM, Complex Gabor filter, Curvelet and image moments. Finally, a Neuro-Fuzzy Logic classifier is trained with the extracted features. The proposed approach is implemented using MATLAB simulation tool where PlantVillage Database is considered for analysis. The average detection accuracy has been obtained as more than 90% for 2 test cases which shows that the proposed combination of feature extraction and image pre-processing process is able to obtain improved classification accuracy. This work is useful for the students of UG/PG programme to carry out Project-based learning.

Interest in digital image processing techniques dates back to the early 1920's, when digitized pictures of world news events were first transmitted by submarine cable between New York and London. Applications of digital image processing concepts, however, did not become widespread until the middle 1960's, when third-generation digital computers began to offer the speed and storage capabilities required for practical implementation of image processing algorithms. Since then, this area has experienced vigorous growth, having been a subject of interdisciplinary research in fields ranging from engineering and computer science to biology, chemistry, and medicine.

INTRODUCTION.- The physical properties of rock masses are greatly influenced by their internal discontinuities, like pores and fissures. So, these need to be measured as a basis for interpretation. To avoid the basic difficulties of measurement under optical microscopy and analogic image systems, the authors use S.E.M. and multiband digital image processing. In S.E.M., analog signal processing has been used to further image enhancement (1), but automatic information extraction can be achieved by simple digital processing of S.E.M. images (2). The use of multiband image would overcome difficulties such as artifacts introduced by the relative positions of sample and detector or the typicals encountered in optical microscopy.DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING.- The studied rock specimens were in the form of flat deformation-free surfaces observed under a Phillips SEM model 500. The SEM detector output signal was recorded in picture form in b&w negatives and digitized using a Perkin Elmer 1010 MP flat microdensitometer.
