This paper asks and addresses the nature and experience of the self …Read more

    Proximal Support Vector Machine-Based Hybrid Approach for Edge Detection in Noisy Images
    with Rajendra K. Ray, Manoj Thakur, and Subit K. Jain
    Journal of Intelligent Systems 29 (1): 1315-1328. 2019.
    We propose a novel edge detector in the presence of Gaussian noise with the use of proximal support vector machine (PSVM). The edges of a noisy image are detected using a two-stage architecture: smoothing of image is first performed using regularized anisotropic diffusion, followed by the classification using PSVM, termed as regularized anisotropic diffusion-based PSVM (RAD-PSVM) method. In this process, a feature vector is formed for a pixel using the denoised coefficient’s class and the local …Read more

    The ‘culture’ of science and colonial culture, India 1820–1920
    British Journal for the History of Science 29 (2): 195-209. 1996.
    The culture of science is deeply influenced and conditioned by the socio-political realities of both time and locale. Pre-colonial India, for example, was no tabula rasa. It had a vigorous tradition in at least the realms of mathematics, astronomy and medicine. But gradual colonization made a big dent. It brought forth a massive cultural collision which influenced profoundly the cognitive and material existence of both the colonizer and the colonized
