    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.

    Human Tracking and Profiling for Risk Management
    (Global Journals, 2022-01) Ranjith, K. H. V. S; Jayasekara, A. S; Ratnasooriya, K. A. L. L; Thilini Randika, J. L; Rupasinghe, L; Liyanapathirana, C
    Infectious viruses are conveyed via respiratory droplets produced by an infected person when they speak, sneeze, or cough. So, to combat virus transmission, the World Health Organization (WHO) has imposed severe regulations such as mandatory face mask use and social segregation in public spaces. The ’Human Tracking and Profiling for Risk Management System (HTPRM)’ is an online application that identifies the risk associated with failing to follow proper health practices. This proposed approach, which is divided into four components, utilizes ’You Only Live Once YOLO (V3)’ to detect facemask danger, which would be determined based on two factors: wearing the face mask properly and the type of mask (Surgical, k95, homemade, and bare). The second phase is to use Open CV and SSDMobilenet to evaluate the value of a one-meter space (Social Distance) between people. The system recognizes the maximum number of individuals that can be in the vicinity of the specific hall that uses YOLO( V3) and image processing as the third procedure. In the last processing, the system identifies each person’s behavior, classifies it as uncommon or not, and calculates the risk associated with each category. Finally, the system computes the overall risk and generates a warning alarm to notify the user that they are in a dangerous scenario.

    Academic Depression Detection Using Behavioral Aspects for Sri Lankan University Students
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC) -SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Gamage, M.A.; Matara Arachchi, R.; Naotunna, S.; Rubasinghe, T.; Silva, C.; Siriwardana, S.
    Academic Depression is a widespread problem among undergraduate students in Sri Lanka. It is exhausting and has a detrimental impact on students' academic life. Therefore, the development of a technique to estimate the probability of depression among undergraduates is a blessed respite. Depression is mostly caused by a failure to check students' psychological well-being on a regular basis. Identifying depression at the college level, leading the students to get proper therapy treatments. If a counselor detects depression in a student early enough, he/she can successfully assist the student in overcoming depression. However, keeping track of the substantial changes that occur in students because of depression becomes challenging for the counselor with a considerable number of undergraduates. The advancement of image processing and machine learning fields has contributed to the creation of effective algorithms capable of identifying depression probability. Depression Possibility Detection Tool (DPDT) is considered an effective automated tool that brings the depression probability of a certain student. In DPDT, the result is generated by concerning four main strategies. They are facial expressions, eye movements, behavior changes (step count and phone usage), and physical conditions (heart rate and sleep rate). Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16) model, Residual Neural Network (ResNet-50), Random Forest (RF) classifier is the main models and techniques used in the system. More than 93% of accuracy was generated in every trained model. The paper concludes the system overview along with four strategies, literature review, methodologies, conclusion, and future works.
