Malignant melanoma is nowadays one of the leading cancers among many white-skinned populations around the world. Change of recreational behavior together with the increase in ultraviolet radiation cause a dramatic increase in the number of melanomas diagnosed. The raise in incidence was first noticed in the United States in 1930, where one person out of 100 000 per year suffered from skin cancer. This rate increased in the middle of the eighties to six per 100 000 and to 13 per 100 000 in 1991. The numbers are also comparable to the incidence rates observed in Europe. In 1995, in Austria the incidence of melanoma was about 12 per 100 000, which reflected an increase of 51.8 % in the previous ten years, and the incidence of melanoma shows a still increasing tendency. But on the other hand investigations have shown that the curability of skin cancer is nearly 100%, if it is recognized early enough and treated surgically. Whereas the mortality rate caused by melanomas in the early sixties was about 70 %, nowa survival rate of 70% is achieved, which is mainly the result of early recognition. Because of the higher incidence of malignant melanoma, researchers are concerned more and more with the automated diagnosis of skin lesions. Many publications report on isolated efforts into the direction of automated melanoma recognition by image processing. Complete integrated dermatological image analysis systems are hardly found in clinical use, or are not tested on a significant number of real-life samples.

We have developed a fast and reliable system that is capable to detect and classify skin lesions with high accuracy. We use color images of skin lesions, image processing techniques and AdaBoost classifier to distinguish melanoma from benign pigmented lesions. As the first step of the data set analysis, a preprocessing sequence is implemented to remove noise and undesired structures from the color image. Second, an automated segmentation approach localizes suspicious lesion regions by region growing after a preliminary step based on adaptive color segmentation. Then, we rely on quantitative image analysis to measure a series of candidate attributes hoped to contain enough information to differentiate melanomas from benign lesions. At last, the selected features are supplied to AdaBoost algorithm to build a strong classifier. Using Leave-one-out cross validation on Zagrouba's image dataset (95 images of benign nevi and 25 images of malignant melanoma) we have obtained an excellent recognition rate of 86.10%.

New - Python Face Recognition
 Biometric Authentication with Python We have developed a fast and reliable Python code for face recognition based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Proposed algorithm results computationally inexpensive and it can run also in a low-cost pc such as Raspberry PI.
 
New - Raspberry PI Remote Desktop
 Raspberry PI Remote Desktop A complete and detailed PDF tutorial to learn how to connect to and from a Raspberry PI using Remote Desktop.
 
New - Speaker Verification System
 Text-Independent Speaker Authentication There are two major applications of speaker recognition technologies and methodologies. If the speaker claims to be of a certain identity and the voice is used to verify this claim, this is called verification or authentication.
 
New - Java Face Recognition
 Java-based Biometric Authentication System Face recognition is essential in many applications, including mugshot matching, surveillance, access control and personal identification, and forensic and law enforcement applications.
 
New - White Papers
 High Capacity Wavelet Watermarking Using CDMA Multilevel Codes This paper proposes a technique based on CDMA and multilevel coding in order to achieve a high capacity watermarking scheme. The bits of watermark are grouped together and for each sequence a different modulation coefficient is used.
 
New - WebCam Face Identification
 Face Recognition Based on Fractional Gaussian Derivatives Local photometric descriptors computed for interest regions have proven to be very successful in applications such as wide baseline matching, object recognition, texture recognition, image retrieval, robot localization, video data mining, building panoramas, and recognition of object categories.
 
New - Speaker Recognition System
 Source code for speaker recognition
Speaker recognition is the process of automatically recognizing who is speaking on the basis of individual information included in speech waves.
 
New - Speech Recognition System
 Source code for isolated words recognition
Speech recognition technology is used more and more for telephone applications like travel booking and information, financial account information, customer service call routing, and directory assistance. Using constrained grammar recognition, such applications can achieve remarkably high accuracy.
