Abstract Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative knee joint disease caused by ‘wear and tear’ of ligaments between the femur and tibial bones. Clinically, KOA is classified into four grades ranging from 1 to 4 based on the degradation of the ligament in between these two bones and causes suffering from impaired movement. Identifying this space between bones through the anterior view of a knee X-ray image is solely subjective and challenging. Automatic classification of this process helps in the selection of suitable treatment processes and customized knee implants. In this research, a new automatic classification More >

Abstract Accumulation of impurities within cold trap device results in degradation of efficient performance in a nuclear reactor systems. The impurities have to be identified and the device has to be replaced periodically based on the accumulation level. Though there are a few techniques available to identify these impurities from the cold trap device, there are certain limitations in these techniques. In order to overcome these constraints, a new harmless and easy approach for identifying and separating the impurities using the radiographic images of cold traps is proposed in this paper. It includes a new segmentation More >
