    Abstract
    Retinal vessels tortuosity is one of the important signs of cardiovascular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and hypertension. In this paper we present a simple and efficient algorithm to measure the grade of tortuosity in retinal images. This algorithm consists of four main steps,vessel detection, extracting vascular skeleton via thinning, detection of vessel crossovers and bifurcations and finally calculating local and global tortuosity. The last stage is based on a circular mask that is put on every skeleton point of retinal vessels. While the skeleton of vessel splits the circle in each position, the local tortuosity is considered to be the bigger to smaller area ratio. The proposed...

    Abstract
    Clustering is the process of grouping data objects into set of disjoint classes called clusters so that objects within a class are highly similar with one another and dissimilar with the objects in other classes. The k-means algorithm is a simple and efficient algorithm that is widely used for data clustering. However, its performance depends on the initial state of centroids and may trap in local optima. In order to overcome local optima obstacles, a lot of studies have been done in clustering. The Fashion Algorithm is one effective method for searching problem space to find a near optimal solution. This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm based on Generalized Fashion Algorithm... 

    Abnormal event detection and localisation in traffic videos based on group sparse topical coding

    Abstract
    In visual surveillance, detecting and localising abnormal events are of great interest. In this study, an unsupervised method is proposed to automatically discover abnormal events occurring in traffic videos. For learning typical motion patterns occurring in such videos, a group sparse topical coding (GSTC) framework and an improved version of it are applied to optical flow features extracted from video clips. Then a very simple and efficient algorithm is proposed for GSTC. It is shown that discovered motion patterns can be employed directly in detecting abnormal events. A variety of abnormality metrics based on the resulting sparse codes for detection of abnormality are investigated....
