This paper proposes a new machine vision method to test the quality of a semi-transparent automotive illuminant component. Difference images of Frangi filtered surface images are used to enhance defect-like image structures. In order to distinguish allowed structures from defective structures, morphological features are extracted and used for a nearest-neighbor-based anomaly score. In this way, it could be demonstrated that a segmentation of occurring defects is possible on transparent illuminant parts. The method turned out to be fast and accurate and is therefore also suited for in-production testing.

Olive Ripening

The degree of olive maturation is a very important factor to consider at harvest time, as it influences the organoleptic quality of the final product, for both oil and table use. The Jaén index, evaluated by measuring the average coloring of olive fruits (peel and pulp), is currently considered to be one of the most indicative methods to determine the olive ripening stage, but it is a slow assay and its results are not objective. The aim of this work is to identify the ripeness degree of olive lots through a real-time, repeatable, and objective machine vision method, which uses RGB image analysis based on a k-nearest neighbors classification algorithm. To overcome different lighting scenarios, pictures were subjected to an automatic colorimetric calibration method—an advanced 3D algorithm using known values. To check the performance of the automatic machine vision method, a comparison was made with two visual operator image evaluations. For 10 images, the number of black, green, and purple olives was also visually evaluated by these two operators. The accuracy of the method was 60%. The system could be easily implemented in a specific mobile app developed for the automatic assessment of olive ripeness directly in the field, for advanced georeferenced data analysis.

Currently collaborative filtering is widely used in e-commerce, digital libraries and other areas of personalized recommendation service system. Nearest-neighbor algorithm is the earliest proposed and the main collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm, but the data sparsity and cold-start problems seriously affect the recommendation quality. To solve these problems, A collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on users' social relationships is proposed. 0n the basis of traditional filtering recommendation technology, it combines with the interested objects of user's social relationship and takes the advantage of the tags to projects marked by users and their interested objects to improve the methods of recommendation. The experimental results of MAE ((Mean Absolute Error)) verify that this method can get better quality of recommendation.

Lettuce Growth

The arising problem on food scarcity drives the innovation of urban farming. One of the methods in urban farming is the smart aquaponics. However, for a smart aquaponics to yield crops successfully, it needs intensive monitoring, control, and automation. An efficient way of implementing this is the utilization of vision systems and machine learning algorithms to optimize the capabilities of the farming technique. To realize this, a comparative analysis of three machine learning estimators: Logistic Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Linear Support Vector Machine (L-SVM) was conducted. This was done by modeling each algorithm from the machine vision-feature extracted images of lettuce which were raised in a smart aquaponics setup. Each of the model was optimized to increase cross and hold-out validations. The results showed that KNN having the tuned hyperparameters of n_neighbors=24, weights='distance', algorithm='auto', leaf_size = 10 was the most effective model for the given dataset, yielding a cross-validation mean accuracy of 87.06% and a classification accuracy of 91.67%.

AbstractObjective: Cognitive impairment (CI) is common in children with epilepsy and can have devastating effects on their quality of life and that of their family. Early identification of CI is a priority to improve outcomes, but the current gold standard of detection with psychometric assessment is resource intensive and not always available. This paper proposes a novel technique of network analysis using routine clinical electroencephalography (EEG) to help identify CI in children with early-onset epilepsy (CWEOE) (0-5 y.o.).Methods: We analyzed functional networks from routinely acquired EEGs of 51 newly diagnosed CWEOE from a prospective population-based study. Combinations of connectivity metrics (e.g. phase-slope index (PSI)) with sub-network analysis (e.g. cluster-span threshold (CST)) identified significant correlations between network properties and cognition scores via rank correlation analysis with Kendall’s τ. Predictive properties were investigated using a 5-fold cross-validated K-Nearest Neighbor classification model with normal cognition, mild/moderate CI and severe CI classes.Results: Phase-dependent connectivity metrics had higher sensitivity to cognition scores, with sub-networks identifying significant functional network changes over a broad range of spectral frequencies. Approximately 70.5% of all children were appropriately classified as normal cognition, mild/moderate CI or severe CI using CST network features. CST classification predicted CI classes 55% better than chance, and reduced misclassification penalties by half.Conclusions: CI in CWEOE can be detected with sensitivity at 85% (with respect to identifying either mild/moderate or severe CI) and specificity of 84%, by EEG network analysis.Significance: This study outlines a data-driven methodology for identifying candidate biomarkers of CI in CWEOE from network features. Following additional replication, the proposed method and its use of routinely acquired EEG forms an attractive proposition for supporting clinical assessment of CI.

The selection was an attempt College to get qualified prospective students. Test data for new students able to describe the quality of academic and connect to graduate on time. Recognizing the academic quality of students is required in the implementation of the lecture to obtain optimal results. Real conditions today, timely graduation has not achieved optimally, need to be improved to reach the limits of reasonableness. Data that has no need to do a classification based on academic quality, in order to obtain predictions timely graduation. Therefore, proposed an effort to resolve the problem by applying the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm to re-clustering the test result data for new students. The procedure is to determine the amount of data clusters, determining the center point of the cluster, calculate the distance of the object with the centroid, classifying objects. If the new data group calculation results together with the results of calculation of new data group then finished its calculations.

The development of machine vision systems is based on the analysis of visual information recorded by sensitive matrices. This information is most often distorted by the presence of interfering factors represented by a noise component. The common causes of the noise include imperfect sensors, dust and aerosols, used ADCs, electromagnetic interference, and others. The presence of these noise components reduces the quality of the subsequent analysis. To implement systems that allow operating in the presence of a noise, a new approach, which allows parallel processing of data obtained in various electromagnetic ranges, has been proposed. The primary area of application of the approach are machine vision systems used in complex robotic cells. The use of additional data obtained by a group of sensors allows the formation of arrays of usefull information that provide successfull optimization of operations. The set of test data shows the applicability of the proposed approach to combined images in machine vision systems.

Abstract This study provides a spatial analysis of distribution and access to commercial fruit and vegetable establishments within the territory of a representative sample of public fitness facilities known as the Health Academy Program (HAP) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The study evaluated commercial food establishments within a buffer area based on a radius of 1,600 meters around each of 18 randomly selected fitness facilities. Quality of access to fruits and vegetables was assessed by the Healthy Food Store Index (HFSI), consisting of the variables availability, variety, and advertising of fruits, vegetables and ultra-processed foods. The analysis was based on calculation of the Kernel intensity estimator, nearest neighbor method, and Ripley K-function. Of the 336 food establishments, 61.3% were green grocers and open-air markets, with a median HFSI of 11 (5 to 16). In only 17% of the territories, the majority of the “hot area” establishments displayed better access to healthy foods, and only three areas showed a clustering pattern. The study showed limited access to commercial establishments supplying healthy fruits and vegetables within the territory of the public fitness program.
