Automated video surveillance presents a great amount of applications and one of them is traffic monitoring. Vehicle type detection can provide information about the characteristics of the traffic flow to human traffic controllers in order to facilitate their decision-making process. A video surveillance system is proposed in this work to execute such classification. First of all, a foreground detection and tracking object process has been carried out. Once the vehicles are detected, a feature extraction method obtains the most significant features of this detected vehicles. When the extraction process is done, the vehicle types are determined by employing a set of Growing Neural Gas neural networks. The performance of the proposal has been analyzed from a qualitative and quantitative point of view by using a set of benchmark traffic video sequences, with acceptable results.

Reactive dyes are the principal dyes used in batik industry in Malaysia. From the environmental point of view the dyes should be removed from wastewater because they are toxic in nature. Therefore, the removal and recovery of dyes from batik industry wastewater is absolute necessity in order to save raw materials and to protect environment from hazardous compounds. An experiment was carried out using emulsion liquid membrane (ELM) process in batch system to study the extraction behaviour of Turquoise Blue which is commonly used in batik industry. Several parameters have been studied such as carrier and surfactant/emulsifier concentrations, stripping agent and extraction time. The liquid membrane was formulated using kerosene as diluent, SPAN 80 as emulsifier and tri-dodecylamine (TDA) as a carrier. Hydrodynamic condition to generate extraction process was at 1:3 treat ratio and 250 rpm stirring speed for 10 minutes while the emulsification was done at 12000 rpm for 5 minutes using homogenizer. The result obtained shows that, more than 70% of Turquoise Blue was extracted at favourable condition of 0.07 M TDA, 7% (w/v) SPAN 80 and 0.5 M Thiourea in 1 M NaOH.

Celem prac badawczych było wykorzystanie teledetekcji oraz sztucznych sieci neuronowych w ocenie pszenicy jarej pod względem reakcji na fuzariozę kłosów wywoływaną przez grzyby z rodzaju Fusarium spp. Prace badawcze wykonano na roślinach 4 odmian pszenicy jarej. Były to: KWS Torridon i Izera – o wyższej odporności, Radocha i Nawra – o odporności niższej na ww. patogena. Wykonano zdjęcia zdrowych oraz porażonych kłosów wszystkich odmian, które następnie przetworzono przy użyciu programu Crops Vegetation Control Lab (CVC Lab.). Na podstawie uzyskanych obrazów utworzono ich reprezentacje w postaci sieci neuronowych Growing Neural Gas (GNG). W wyniku analizy zdjęć uzyskano 240 wzorców, z których wybrano po 6 bazowych wzorców choroby dla każdej odmiany. Następnie dokonano porównania próbek porażonych kłosów danej odmiany z bazowymi wzorcami chorobowymi tej samej odmiany pszenicy. W wyniku porównania wzorców roślin zdrowych i porażonych ze zdjęciami poletek roślin zdrowych i porażonych uzyskano zróżnicowanie wartości liczbowych dającej podstawę do konstrukcji mapy zdrowotności plantacji pszenicy z wyszczególnieniem ognisk choroby.
