Exploration of Current Trend on Blur Detection Method Utilized in Digital Image Processing

Detection of blur in digital image, which is commonly preliminary step for de-blurring process, has becoming one of the growing research areas these days and has attracted many attentions from researchers. Research scholars have proposed new methods, or improved blur detection algorithms, based on edge sharpness analysis, low Depth of Field analysis, blind de-convolution, Bayes discriminant fun...

Processing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete

The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...

Shisha Smoking Trend: Current Scenario in Karachiites

The objective of the present work is to study the awareness and causes of shisha (waterpipe) smoking among adolescents in Karachi, Pakistan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among the youth aged 16-25 years in various shisha bars/cafes of Karachi, based on convenient sampling. A total of 145 respondents i.e. males (n =107, 73.79%) and females (n = 38, 26.2%), participated in the study. Mor...

Current Mobile Wireless Services and Technology: Trend

Current trend in interactive furnitures and roomware

Information Technologies until recently mainly have been focused on very constrained artifacts like desktop computers, set-top boxes or handheld. There is now a shift towards integrating technologies in everyday artifacts, ranging from tables to walls and even carpets or kitchen furniture. In this paradigm, the computer disappears and objects take advantage of computation capabilities to suppor...
