Abstract Nowadays, when the changes that appear in programming paradigms and in software process development methodologies are extremely frequent, teaching a Software Engineering related course has become a demanding task. To all these are added changes caused by the dynamics of the society and the traits of the current learners and how they learn. …
Abstract As the world changes, so does the future of our students. In this respect, the evolution of the technology comes up with specific environments for educational purpose. Building smart learning environments supported by e-learning platforms is an important area of research in education domain within our days. The evolution of these smart learning…
Abstract Looking back to the rumours from the early 2000’s, when the world of technology bloomed together with the curiosity towards what was next to come, by 2020, robots should have assisted and supported almost every task from our daily life. While this may seem as a Sci-Fi movie scenario, it is partially a…
Abstract The ability to automatically detect anomalies in brain MRI scans is of great importance in computer-aided diagnosis. Unsupervised anomaly detection methods work primarily by learning the distribution of healthy images and identifying abnormal tissues as outliers. We propose a slice-wise detection method which first trains a pair of autoencoders on two different datasets,…
Abstract Extensive research has been performed in image processing to find the best edge detector, from the gradient-based operators to evolved Cellular Automata (CA). Some of these detectors have weak points, such as disconnected edges, the incapacity of detecting the branching edges or the need of a ground truth that is not always available.…
Abstract Cellular Automata (CA) are simple, easily parallelizable models that have been used extensively for various computational tasks. Such models are especially useful for image processing, as mapping automaton cells to image pixels is straightforward and intuitive. This paper proposes a novel optimization framework for CA rules based on evolutionary algorithms and used in…
Abstract One significant and complex image processing task that may be used as a step in various complex processes is the edge detection. The mechanism of detecting the edges is called edge detector. The scope of this paper is to propose an edge detector based on evolved Cellular Automata (CA), for binary images. It…
Abstract One important image processing task is the edge detection in intensity images. Some approaches were proposed based on computing the gradient of the signal, but not many approaches were proposed based on Cellular Automata (CA). In this paper, an edge detection method based on CA evolved by the means of a Genetic Algorithm…
Abstract Cellular Automata (CA) can be successfully applied in various image processing tasks because they have a number of advantages over the traditional methods of computations: simplicity of implementation, the complexity of behaviour, parallelisation, extensibility, scalability, robustness. In this paper, an edge detection method for binary images, based on CA and Evolutionary Algorithms (EA)…
