Item type:Publication, Automatic exudate extraction for early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy(2013-01-01) ;Sreng, Syna ;Takada, Jun Ichi; ; Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common cause of blindness in diabetic patients, but early detection and timely treatment can prevent this problem. Exudates have been found to be one of the signs and serious DR anomalies so the proper detection of these lesions and the treatment should be done immediately to prevent loss of vision. The aim of this study is to automatically detect these lesions in fundus images. To achieve this goal, the proposed method first preprocesses to improve the quality of fundus image, and then Optic Disc (OD) is detected and eliminated to prevent the interference to the result of exudate detection by combination of 3 methods; image binarization, Region Of Interest (ROI) based segmentation and Morphological Reconstruction (MR). Next, exudates are detected by applying the maximum entropy thresholding to filter out the bright pixels from the result of OD region eliminated. Since the result contains some noises which appear as bright light at the edge of fundus area in some images, that affect is considered and eliminated to improve the result of false positive. Finally, exudates are extracted by using MR. The proposed technique has been tested on 100 fundus images from hospital. Experimental results show that 91 % of exudate is extracted correctly with the average process of 3.92 second per image. © 2013 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Routing algorithms with adaptive weight function based on total wavelengths and expected available wavelengths in optical WDM networks(2005-01-01); ; Varakulsiripunth, RuttikornThis paper studies routing and wavelength assignment in wavelength-routed (WR) optical WDM networks which are circuit-switched in nature. When a session request is given, (be hard task of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) is to calculate the satisfiable path between two nodes, and also to assign an available set of wavelengths along this path. Therefore, we have proposed a new routing and wavelength assignment algorithm, called Total wavelengths and Expected available wavelengths (TEW) algorithm in order to achieve the effective routing and wavelength assignment that can guarantee the service for user's requirement. The link weight function is considered as the main factor for route selection in TEW algorithm. This function is calculated by using a determination factor of the number of wavelengths that are being used currently and are supposed to be available after a certain time. The session requests from users will be routed on the links that has the least number of link weights by using Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. This means that the selected lightpath will have the minimum utilization and maximum expected available wavelengths. The impact of proposed link weight computing function on the blocking probability is investigated by means of computer simulation and comparing with the traditional mechanism. The results show that the proposed TEW algorithm can achieve better performance in terms of the blocking probability. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Brain Tumor Classification using Supervised Support Vector Machine(2023-01-01) ;Pilaoon, Pongsak; ;Yajima, Kuniaki ;Varakulsiripunth, RuttikornHamamoto, KazuhikoA Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant brain tumor earlier detection and diagnosis will increase survival opportunities. This research has developed for binary classification of GBM brain tumors by supervised machine learning from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DICOM medical images have been converted into JPEG files and morphological operation has been implemented to separate the brain region from the skull image for preparation and easier for tumor segmentation in preprocessing stage. The global thresholding segmentation has been proposed to segment the brain tumor from the artifact and then the features have been extracted by gray level coefficient matrix feature extraction (GLCM). In this research, a support vector machine has been conducted for binary classification and finally, GBM grade-4 brain tumor is distinguished from normal brain images. The dataset comprises 155 MRI images 80% has been assigned for training and another 20% will be the testing dataset. The experimental output prediction result is 96.875 % accuracy, 95 % sensitivity, and 100% specificity. The performance of classification has been improved and shown better results when compared with previous research work. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Application of protégé, SWRL and SQWRL in fuzzy ontology-based menu recommendation(2009-12-01) ;Fudholi, Dhomas Hatta; ;Varakulsiripunth, RuttikornKato, YasushiWe develop a daily menu assistance system which is built to give a suggested daily menu based on daily calories need. In this paper, we design a recommendation feature using fuzzy ontology to give menu recommendation by few factors, such as price, rate, vote and taste, since so many menus are suggested. Protégé, SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) and SQWRL (Semantic Query-Enhanced Web Rule Language) are used to show that this feature provides user the more specific, recommended and preferable menus. Protégé, an open-source ontology design software, is used to develop menu recommendation ontology. SWRL is used to build fuzzy ontology classes and properties mapping, and also calculations. SQWRL performs a query in menu recommendation results. ©2009 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Provision of Thai herbal recommendation based on an ontology(2010-08-23) ;Kato, Takumi; ;Varakulsiripunth, Ruttikorn ;Izumi, SatoruTakahashi, HideyukiIn Thailand, most of people like to use Thai herbs for their traditional medical treatments. However, since there are various sorts of Thai herbs, and the Thai herbal knowledge is complicated, it is difficult to find an appropriate one for each health condition. In order to help people to find suitable Thai herbs to cure the diseases, we have developed a system to provide herbal recommendations to users regarding their symptoms. In the development, we represented the Thai herbal knowledge in an ontology, and extracted new facts based on the ontology. Finally, the system provides appropriate herbal recommendations to users based on extracted facts and the ontology. This paper shows how we represented Thai herbal knowledge in an ontology, and how we extract the new facts based on the ontology, as well as how the system provides herbal recommendations to users. © 2010 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Composition of service and protocol specifications in asynchronous communication system(2004-01-01); ;Varakulsiripunth, Ruttikorn ;Bista, Bhed Bahadur ;Takahashi, KaoruKato, YasushiOne of the important techniques in communication system design is the composition of service and protocol specifications. In this paper, we have presented a new approach to the composition technique based on the weak bisimulation concept The main objective is to combine service specifications and protocol specifications individually and simultaneously.

First color bar is evaluated by using HSV method and then using the eccentricity technique with area of pixel to find out the abnormality of Microaneurysms (MAs). The accuracy result of experiment is around 93% when compares to the analysis of ophthalmologists. © 2013 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Feature extraction from retinal fundus image for early detection of diabetic retinopathy(2013-12-01) ;Sreng, Syna ;Takada, Jun Ichi; ; Varakulsiripunth, RuttikornAutomated detection of lesions in retinal fundus image can be aid in the detection of diabetic retinopathy. Exudates are the early sign of diabetic retinopathy so the proper detection of these lesions is an essential task in an automatic retinal screening. On the research work leading to automatic analysis of exudate detection, the knowledge of Optic Disk (OD) location is very useful. An efficient algorithm is presented to detect the OD and exudate which are the most important features for early detection of diabetic retinopathy. From a retinal fundus image, the proposed method first preprocesses and estimates the histogram of retinal background, then filters out the bright pixels in intensity image. They include OD, and non-OD (exudates and noise). Next, an OD boundary is determined and eliminated after applying blob boundary measurement and morphological reconstruction. Finally, exudates are extracted by applying the maximum entropy thresholding to filter out the bright pixels from the green component of retinal image which OD region inside is eliminated. The proposed technique has been tested first on 100 images from hospital. Experimental results show that 93% and 89% of OD and exudate were detected correctly, respectively. © 2013 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Glioma Brain Tumor Classification using Transfer Learning(2024-01-01) ;Pilaoon, Pongsak; ;Wadlom, Noppanat ;Varakulsiripunth, RuttikornHamamoto, KazuhikoIn this research the glioma brain tumor binary classification using transfer learning was introduced. The MRI image from 2 datasets comprised with REMBRANDT and BraTS2021 with increasing number of MRI images was proposed to prevent overfitting problem. MRI images were converted to JPEG format and heavily imbalanced with normal brain image is minority class. Morphological operation was used to remove skeletons and artifacts from brain region. We have introduced Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization to preprocess and enhance contrast before classify using various CNNs. To handle imbalanced dataset problem, we proposed image augmentation to increase the number of images and obtain balanced dataset. The various CNNs transfer learning was implemented to classify glioma brain tumor. Finally, the best classifier is InceptionV3 with balanced dataset that obtained accuracy 99.19%, sensitivity 98.83%, and specificity 100% respectively, better than our past research work.
