    Vehicle type validation for highway entrances using convolutional neural networks
    (International Research Conference on Smart Computing and Systems Engineering - SCSE 2018, 2018) Juwanwadu, L.N.W.; Jayasiri, A.
    Vehicle type validation for Highway entrances using convolutional neural networks is an approach taken to automate the highway toll systems of Sri Lanka. Available automated highway toll systems in the world use sensor-based validation systems to validate the vehicles that are entering the highways. Mainteneance cost of these systems is high. A vision-based validation system has not been implemented, as yet. This paper introduces a vision-based method to validate vehicles for highway systems which can reduce the cost while increasing the efficiency and safety. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model was developed to achieve this objective. The CNN model employed here uses a binary classification to categorize vehicles as allowed vehicles and non-allowed vehicles for entering the highway. The model developed here showed 86.69% accuracy. The model was manually tested for different vehicle types using a GUI based application and all the test images were successfully classified into their classes.

    Gender recognition of Luffa flowers using machine learning
    (International Research Conference on Smart Computing and Systems Engineering - SCSE 2018, 2018) Gunasinghe, H.N.; de Silva, R.
    Automatic flower gender identification could be introduced to large farmlands to help artificial pollination of imperfect flowers. Incomplete flowers contain either male or female organs but not both. In this paper, we present a computer aided system based on image processing and machine learning to identify the gender of a Luffa flower automatically. A pre-trained machine learning model is used for gender segmentation of flowers. The system is developed using Tensorflow Machine Learning Tool, which is an open-source software library for Machine Intelligence. The network was selected as the Google’s Inception model and a dataset was prepared after capturing flower images from a Sri Lankan Luffa farm. The system was tested using two datasets. The first contained the captured original images and the second was prepared by cropping each image to extract male and female floral organs, stamen and pistil respectively. The prototype system classified the flowers as either male or female at 95% accuracy level. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach can significantly support an accurate identification of the gender of a Luffa flower with some computational effort.
