The objective of this paper is to analyze the fingerprint verification techniques by extracting the features of fingerprints and enhance the fingerprint using image processing techniques to improve the matching percentage. It aims to perform the analysis on the matching results as FAR and FRR. Observe the ROC receiver operating characteristic curves. The method results in more time robust matching and enhance the correlation values between two fingerprints. It is however equally important that the image enhancing process does not suppress distinct features since this would affect identification or verification process negatively leading to false mismatches or in worst case, to false matches. It is observed that enhancing the coherence in the fingerprint images the variance of FMR and FNMR is 0.000259&0.71 respectively.Keywords

Tourism is an information intensive industry and Information and Communication Technology is a key driver for developing countries in organizing and marketing their tourism products. With the help of ICT applications, tourists can view information regarding a destination, book accommodation and reserve tickets for train, flight or other forms of transport and at the same time pay for all these without leaving their homes. To assess the use of ICT in the tourism industry in the Maharashtra and Goa states of India, over 250 tour operators, travel agencies, hotels etc. were surveyed. This paper presents the survey followed by a detailed analysis of the obtained results.Keywords

Tourism is the act of travel for the purpose of recreation. It is an industry of moving, housing and entertaining people. It is one of the world's largest service industries and fastest growing economic sectors in terms of generating gross revenue as well as earning of foreign exchange. Nowadays the Internet and the developments in ICTs have revolutionized the entire tourism industry all over the world. It provides new tools and enables new distribution channels to create a new business environment. In order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of transactions, to reduce the cost of transactions and to provide the one stop services to the customers, tourism market needs a new ICT based business model to grow tourism industry in the states of Maharashtra and Goa. In this paper we propose a new ICT based tourism business model that includes the modern tools of ICT which affects the tourism business as a whole.Keywords

Computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) helps the pathologist or fertility specialist to evaluate the human semen. Detail analysis of spermatozoa like morphology and motility is very important in the process of intrauterine insemination (IUI) or In-vitro fertilization (IVF) in infertile couple. The main objective for this new semen analysis is to provide a low cost solution to the pathologist and gynecologist for the routine raw semen analysis, finding the concentration of the semen with dynamic background removal and classify the spermatozoa type (grade) according to the motility and structural abnormality as per the WHO criteria. In this paper a new system , computer assisted semen analysis system is proposed in which hybrid approach is used to identify the moving object, scan line algorithm is applied for confirmation of the objects having tails, so that we can count the actual number of spermatozoa. For removal of background initially the dynamic background generation algorithm is proposed to create a background for background subtraction stage. The standard data set is created with 40× and 100× magnification from the different raw semen s. For testing the efficiency of proposed algorithm, same frames are applied to the existing algorithm. Another module of the system is focused on finding the motility and Type classification of individual spermatozoa.Keywords

Web caching is used to improve the performance of the Internet Web servers. Document caching is used to reduce the time it takes Web server to respond to client requests by keeping and reusing Web objects that are likely to be used in the near future in the main memory of the Web server, and by reducing the volume of data transfer between Web server and secondary storage. The heart of a caching system is its page replacement policy, which needs to make good replacement decisions when its cache is full and a new document needs to be stored. The latest and most popular replacement policies like GDSF and GDSF# use the file size, access frequency, and age in the decision process.
The effectiveness of any replacement policy can be evaluated using two metrics: hit ratio (HR) and byte hit ratio (BHR). There is always a trade-off between HR and BHR [1]. In this paper, using three different Web server logs, we use trace driven analysis to evaluate the effects of different replacement policies on the performance of a Web server. We propose a modification of GDSF# policy, IPGDSF#. Our simulation results show that our proposed replacement policy IPGDSF# performs better than several policies proposed in the literature in terms of hit rate as well as byte hit rate.

Ambiguity in word meanings is a long-standing challenge in processing natural language. Word sense disambiguation (WSD) deals with this challenge. Prior neural language models make use of recurrent neural network and architecture with long short-term memory. These models process the words in sequence, are slower and not truly bi-directional, so they are not able to capture and represent the contextual meanings of the words, hence they are not competent in contextual semantic representation for WSD. Recent, Bi-Directional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) is long short-term memory-based transformer model that is deeply bi-directional. It uses attention mechanisms, which process and use the relevance of the entire context at a time in both directions, so it is well suited to leverage the meanings in distributed representation for WSD. We have used BERT for obtaining contextual word embedding of context and sense gloss of Marathi language ambiguous word. For this purpose, we have used 282 moderately ambiguous Marathi words catering to 1004 senses distributed over 5282 Marathi sentences harvested by linguists from online Marathi websites. We have calculated semantic similarity between the pair of context and gloss embedding using Minkowski distance family and cosine similarity measures and assigned plausible sense to the given Marathi ambiguous word. Our empirical evaluation shows that the cosine similarity measure outperforms and yields an average disambiguation accuracy of 75.26% for the given Marathi sentence.Keywords
