The tongue is a unique organ that is well protected inside the mouth and not affected by external factors; it is also difficult to forge. Several biometric systems are widely used for authentication and recognition, such as fingerprints, faces, iris, sound, retina, etc. Traditional biometrics represent a challenge and an obstacle as they can be falsified, duplicates can be made (e.g., iris, face, fingers, signature), or they are expensive and rarely used (e.g., DNA). The increased security measures called for modern biometrics that is more secure, less expensive, and cannot be falsified. As a result, the goal of this paper is to create a system for distinguishing people based on their tongue prints. It will contribute to solving many forensic issues and increasing electronic security because it has features suitable for identification and biometrically distinguishing between people. In this paper, the tongue is located based on the fixed window size method. After tongue localization (ROI), feature extraction using the VGG-16 model, and a classification system that uses both transfer learning and machine learning as VGG-16, XGBoost, KNN, and RF classifiers, extracted features are then trained for personal identification. The dataset consisted of 1085 tongue images of 138 people with a test ratio of 20%, and the results achieved an accuracy of 92%. The process of distinguishing people through tongue prints has proven to be effective and accurate.
Thermal comfort can be defined as a state of mind which a human feels neither too hot nor too cold. Thermal discomfort in the case of hot humid climates, becomes a great threat to our livelihood and thermal comfort in offices in general. The ability of designers to harness and use the building envelope make life much better and livable is of great importance. This research seeks to use Double skin façade as a strategy for improving indoor thermal comfort by testing the air gap between the double skins. Climate and Weather readings were obtained and used to simulate and check the effect of Double skin façade in improving indoor thermal comfort in office complex. Double skin facade has been suggested by many researchers as a possible alternative technique for improving indoor thermal comfort. The double skin facade study in this research involved computer simulation using Emissions Control Optimization TEChnology (ECOTEC). The result of the final base case model shows that double skin façade can increase the indoor thermal comfort in a building and the wider the air gap, the higher the thermal comfort by showing the hours of comfort and discomfort to the simulated office building. The other important factor is that it can continuously induce the flow of natural ventilation, regardless of the available wind outside of the office complex building. This effect is significant toward improving the thermal comfort performance in the office complex through passive natural ventilation.
Modern sensor systems have complex sensor assemblies with performance depending on variety of factors. An algorithm presented in this work to provide accurate image rendering in the optical spectral ranges of IR imaging systems. From the images output notice that in long wavelength bandwidth of IR (8-12) µm the image was more clarity without noise. This mean S/N ratio and the Efficiency of detector is bigger than band (1-3) µm. Recommend that this method can be used to improve the performance of the thermal detector which uses in thermal imaging system in any package of wavelength. This algorithm can be store as a code in the cart storage of IR imaging system.
