Introduction Many methods have been proposed for MRI tissue segmentation. It has been identified that MRI image of human tissue is homogeneous and the structure of each is tissue connected, but it is rather difficult to separate the adjacent tissue due to the small intensity changes or smooth boundaries observed. Current traditional edge detection

Introduction Many wearable devices monitoring have been proposed to complement self-reporting of users’ caloric intake and eating behaviours. These devices comprise varying sensing modalities, such as acoustic, visual, inertial, EEG, EMG, capacitive and piezoelectric sensors. In this research, food intake will be predicted from the input of digit

In the next few years, the demands and challenges for the 4 G (and its derivatives i.e. LTE-A) alternative must be addressed to meet the prime objectives of the upcoming 5 G mobile networks such as increased capacity, improved data rate, low latency, and better quality of service. To achieve these objectives, drastic improvements need to be made in

This paper investigates the development of language identification based on Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm. In this study, a total of ten speakers were chosen randomly with different languages from online language database. A total of six males and four females were selected as subjects for this re

WiFi facilitates computers and devices to connect with the Internet and each other using radio frequency signals that has Received Signal Strength Indicator or RSSI as its standard feature. With the use of RSSI value, a human presence detection technique to support energy saving by automating appliances is developed. It has attracted interest of re

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) is an intelligent system which has the capability to recognize the character on vehicle number plate. Previous researches implemented ANPR system on personal computer (PC) with high resolution camera and high computational capability. On the other hand, not many researches have been conducted on the design

LoRaWAN is a long-range, low-power, wireless telecommunications method; expected to play a big role for the Internet of Things. End appliances use LoRaWAN through a single wireless hop to communicate with gateways linked to the Internet that function as transparent bridges relaying messages amongst these end-devices and a central network server. Th

Audio compression is a method of reducing the space demand and aid transmission of the source file which then can be categorized by lossy and lossless compression. Lossless audio compression was considered to be a luxury previously due to the limited storage space. However, as storage technology progresses, lossless audio files can be seen as the o

Nowadays, iris recognition is widely used for personal identification and verification based on biometrical technology, especially in the smartphone arena. By having this iris recognition for identification and verification, the smartphone will be secured since every person have their own iris type. In this paper, we proposed an efficient iris reco

Nowadays, image manipulation is common due to the availability of image processing software, such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. The original image captured by digital camera or smartphone normally is saved in the JPEG format due to its popularity. JPEG algorithm works on image grids, compressed independently, having size of 8x8 pixels. For unmodified
