Data Embedding Technique for Palette Scale Image using Derived Genetic Algorithm (DEP-DGA)
Abstract: Steganography method is used for exchanging the hidden information. It is defined as the study of hidden communication that deals with the existence of communicated messages. The existing methodology for minimizing additive distortion in steganography fails in measuring the level of distortion for the given source palette digital image. Perfect sphere shaped palette digital images are not suitable for selection, as cover models because the hidden data might be easily …

A Machine Vision Approach for Grading of Onions
Abstract: Grading of fruits and vegetables (on the basis of various external and internal quality attributes) is an important unit operation in the food industry. For products such as onions, grading is performed mainly on the basis of size. In the present study, a machine vision system was used to grade onions into three categories (extra-large, medium and small) based on variations in size. The machine vision system consisted of a …

Improved Global Region based Chan-Vese Model
Abstract: Chan-Vese model is one of the fundamental active contour models for image segmentation. In this paper, the authors propose an improved global region based Chan-Vese model which provides solution to some limitations of basic Chan-Vese model. The proposed model avoids re-initialization requirement to increase speed of algorithm by reaction-diffusion method. The stopping criterion to stop segmentation process is also added in the model. To make model automatic, initialization free feature …

Multi-Modal (Hybrid) More Efficient and Highly Secured Enhanced Hand Geometry Authentication using 3 Steps Authentication by Means of Biometrics, Steganography and Encryption
Abstract: “Biometrics” is the science, which is used to verify the identity of the persons through either behavioral traits or physical characteristics. This area has gained great importance in maintaining the security of the places that require high security accuracy. Hand geometry is considered one of the biometrics, which derived its reputation from the ease of use and the acceptance of many people to use it. Hand geometry based biometric systems …

Performance Evaluation of Segmentation Algorithms for Apple Fruit Grading
Abstract: For supplying high-quality food products within a short time, automated grading of fruits is getting special attention. Fruit grading technique will grade the fruits using their shapes, color and outer look. This emphasizes the necessity of image segmentation which extracts important features from an image. This paper consists of analysis of different segmentation algorithms for detecting damage part of fruit. Marker-based watershed algorithm uses internal and external markers to locate …
