    Converting high resolution multi-lingual printed document images in to editable text using image processing and artificial intelligence
    (IEEE, 2022-06-21) Jayakody, A; Premachandra, H. W. H; Kawanaka, H
    The optical character recognition technique is used to convert information, mainly printed or handwritten text in paper materials, into an electronic format that the computers can edit. According to the literature, there are few competent OCR systems for recognizing multilingual characters in the form of Sinhala and English characters together. The lack of an appropriate technology to recognize multilingual text still remains as a problem that the current research community must address, and it has been designated as the key problem for this study. The main goal of this research is to develop a multilingual character recognition system that uses character image geometry features and Artificial Neural Networks to recognize printed Sinhala and English scripts together. It is intended that the solution would be improved to cover three Sri Lanka’s most commonly spoken languages, with the addition of Tamil as a later upgrade. The primary technologies for this study were character geometry features and Artificial Neural Networks. At the moment almost an 85% of success rate has been achieved with a database containing around 800 images, which are divided into 46 characters (20 Sinhala and 26 English), and each character is represented in 20 different forms of character images. Recognition of text from printed bi-lingual documents is experimented by extracting individual character data from such printed text documents and feeding them to the system.

    Learning platform for visually impaired children through artificial intelligence and computer vision
    (IEEE, 2018-02-19) Balasuriya, B. K; Lokuhettiarachchi, N. P; Ranasinghe, A. R. M. D. N; Shiwantha, K. D. C; Jayawardena, C
    The topic Visual Disabilities and Computer Vision are the most researched topics of recent years. Researchers have been trying to combine two topics to create most usable systems to the visually disabled to aid them in their day to day tasks. In this research, we are trying to create an application which is targeting children between the age of 6-14 who suffers from visual disabilities to aid them in their primary learning task of learning to identify objects without a supervision of a third-party. We are trying to achieve this task by combining latest advancements of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence technologies by using Deep Region Based Convolutional Networks (R-CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Speech models to provide an interactive learning experience to such individuals. The paper discusses.

    Effectiveness of artificial intelligence, decentralized and distributed systems for prediction and secure channelling for Medical Tourism
    (IEEE, 2020-11-04) Subasinghe, M; Magalage, D; Amadoru, N; Amarathunga, L; Bhanupriya, N; Wijekoon, J
    Good health and wellbeing, a sustainable development goal introduced by the United Nations to be achieved by 2030. Sri Lanka is a country that highly depends on tourism. A healthcare system which consists of high quality and low-cost services and an abundance of tourist attractions makes Sri Lanka to be one of the best medical tourism destinations. Tourism and travel have contributed to the GDP of Sri Lanka by 11.1 billion USD by 2018. Lack of technological advancements within the medical sector has drawn back the ability to smoothly cater medical tourism. The proposed system aims for an advanced technological improvement that would help in further developing and contributing to medical tourism. To this end, this paper introduces an Intelligent System for Secure Channeling platform that aids medical tourism with the help of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. System proposes a treatment prediction and suggesting the best doctor for it and a secured network to store and access electronic health records (EHR). The yielded results show that the proposed method successfully performed treatment prediction with 79-88% accuracy.
