    Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Innovative Data Communication Technologies and Application Icidca 2025, 2025
    This paper presents an automatic clothing segmentation method in images using MATLAB-based image processing techniques. the implementation utilized techniques such as HSV color space conversion, morphological operations, edge detection, thresholding, and binary masking, to isolate clothing regions from the background. The system was evaluated on a dataset of 50 images, comparing the outputs with manually annotated ground truth masks (via CVAT). Metrics such as Intersection over Union (IoU), Dice coefficient, Precision, Recall, Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) were calculated and results were inferred from the same. The method achieved a mean IoU of 0.6203, Dice score of 0.7342, Precision of 0.9276, Recall of 0.6597, MSE of 0.1058, and PSNR of 10.96 dB, demonstrating reliable segmentation accuracy in clean-background scenarios. However, performance drops for occlusions, overlapping garments, and dark-colored clothes due to the limitations of basic image processing techniques, suggesting that future improvements could involve deep learning approaches, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to enhance segmentation under these challenging conditions.

    Yash Jha, Harsh Prajapati, Bhupendra Fataniya
    Proceedings of the 2022 International Conference on Connected Systems and Intelligence Csi 2022, 2022
    Object detection has been evolving greatly in recent years and the advancements in hardware and software technologies have made it possible to perform object detection with ease. Due to the enhanced capabilities of the modern processors and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) of doing an exponentially complex and extensive number of iterations in very less time. Real-time object detection has become highly popular and the center of attention in recent years because most of the hardware owned by common users is powerful enough to compute that which unlocks whole new possibilities for implementing real-time object detection in numerous applications in various domains. Real-time herbal plant detection is one such topic that has many applications in the field of ayurvedic medicines and many other pharmaceutical applications that can be used to spike the efficiency in identifying these herbal plants that can be used as a precaution and even as a cure for numerous health problems. There are many existing algorithms for real-time detection, but the evolution of new Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques unlocks new ways to implement recent and advanced algorithms to apply for real-time detection of such powdered microscopic images to achieve better performance in various aspects compared to already existing methods. Our model is trained for detecting three types of microscopic herbal plants.
  • Prediction of COVID-19 Disease with Chest X-Rays Using Convolutional Neural Network
    Rohan Malhotra, Hemang Patel, Bhupendra D. Fataniya
    Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Inventive Research in Computing Applications Icirca 2021, 2021
    With the rising of the new pandemic, problems to detect the presence of Covid-19 also emerged. To track the infections, RT-PCR and rapid testing are followed in the current situation which is time-consuming and could be an important time for severe patients. To decrease the amount of time for COVID-19 prediction, Chest X-rays could play an important role in determining the result. So by using Chest X-rays with Artificial Intelligence, the COVID-19 disease can be detected in a lesser amount of time under the guidance of the specialist. For this, the Deep Learning techniques like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have been proved quite successful for image recognition and classification. In this experiment, Covid-19 was detected with the help of ResNet architecture whose accuracy increases while going into deeper layers by using skip connections. ResNet is a pre-trained model on the ImageNet database. During the experiment, ResNet18 architecture was used because it has the least number of layers as compared to other CNN architectures and so, for determining the best accuracy obtained with lesser computations. Methods like k-fold cross-validation, confusion matrices, etc were used in obtaining the accuracy of around 89% for COVID-19 prediction. Hence, CNN could be a useful tool for the prediction of COVID-19 and saving time for both patients and doctors for further treatment.

  • Implementation of iot based waste segregation and collection system
    Bhupendra Fataniya, Aayush Sood, Deepti Poddar, Dhaval Shah
    International Journal of Electronics and Telecommunications, 2019
    Waste management is a challenging problem for most of the countries. The current waste segregation and the collection method are not efficient and cost-effective. In this paper, a prototype is presented for smart waste management. It is also capable of waste segregation at the ground level and providing real-time data to the administrator. Impact and cost analysis of the deployment of smartbin is also presented considering one ward of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. It is clear from that deployment of this smartbin will save about 40% of the current expenditure for that ward.
