        Doors are a significant object for the visually impaired and robots to enter and exit buildings. Although the accuracy of door detection is reported high in indoor scenes, it has become a difficult problem in outdoor scenes in computer vision. The reason may lie in the fact that such properties of a simple ordinary door such as handles, corners, and the gap between the door and the ground may not be visible due to the great variety of doors in outdoor environments. In this paper, we present a vision-based method for detecting building entrances in outdoor images. After extracting the lines and deleting the extra ones, regions between the vertical lines are specified and the features including height, width, location, color, texture and the number of lines inside the regions are obtained. Finally, some additional knowledge such as door existence at the bottom of the image, a reasonable height and width of a door, the difference between color and texture of the doors and those of the neighboring regions, and numerous lines on doors is used to decide on door detection. The method was tested on eTRIMS dataset and our own dataset including doors of houses, apartments, and stores leading to acceptable results. The obtained results show that our approach outperforms comparable state-of-the-art approaches. Manuscript profile

        Doors are an important sign for blind people and robots to enter and leave the building. Detection of doors in outdoor environments has become one of the most difficult issues in computer vision; Because usually in outdoor doors, the features of a simple door such as handles, corners and empty space between the door and the floor are not obvious. In this article, a method for detecting doors in outdoor environments is presented. After extracting the lines and removing the extra lines, the area between the vertical lines is formed and the characteristics of each area including height, width, location, color, texture and number of lines inside the area are extracted. Additional knowledge such as the presence of the door at the bottom of the image, the reasonable height and width of the door, and the difference in color and texture of the door with the surrounding area are then used to determine the presence of the door. This method has been tested on our eTRIMS image collection and our image collection, including doors of houses, apartments and shops, and the presented results show the superiority of the proposed method over the previous methods.

        The videos are more popular for sharing content on social media to capture the audience’s attention. The artificial manipulation of videos is growing rapidly to make the videos flashy and interesting but they can easily misuse to spread false information on social media platforms. Deep Fake is a problematic method for the manipulation of videos in which artificial components are added to the video using emerging deep learning techniques. Due to the increase in the accuracy of deep fake generation methods, artificially created videos are no longer detectable and pose a major threat to social media users. To address this growing problem, we have proposed a new method for detecting deep fake videos using 3D Inflated Xception Net with Discrete Fourier Transformation. Xception Net was originally designed for application on 2D images only. The proposed method is the first attempt to use a 3D Xception Net for categorizing video-based data. The advantage of the proposed method is, it works on the whole video rather than the subset of frames while categorizing. Our proposed model was tested on the popular dataset Celeb-DF and achieved better accuracy. Manuscript profile

        Handwritten digit recognition is one of the classical issues in the field of image grouping, a subfield of computer vision. The event of the handwritten digit is generous. With a wide opportunity, the issue of handwritten digit recognition by using computer vision and machine learning techniques has been a well-considered upon field. The field has gone through an exceptional turn of events, since the development of machine learning techniques. Utilizing the strategy for Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a robust and swift method to solve the problem of handwritten digit recognition, for the Kannada language is introduced. In this work, the Kannada-MNIST dataset is used for digit recognition to evaluate the performance of SVM and PCA. Efforts were made previously to recognize handwritten digits of different languages with this approach. However, due to the lack of a standard MNIST dataset for Kannada numerals, Kannada Handwritten digit recognition was left behind. With the introduction of the MNIST dataset for Kannada digits, we budge towards solving the problem statement and show how applying PCA for dimensionality reduction before using the SVM classifier increases the accuracy on the RBF kernel. 60,000 images are used for training and 10,000 images for testing the model and an accuracy of 99.02% on validation data and 95.44% on test data is achieved. Performance measures like Precision, Recall, and F1-score have been evaluated on the method used. Manuscript profile
