    Image segmentation is a basic image processing technique that is primarily used for finding segments that form the entire image. These segments can be then utilized in discriminative feature extraction, image retrieval, and pattern recognition. Clustering and region growing techniques are the commonly used image segmentation methods. K-Means is a heavily used clustering technique due to its simplicity and low computational cost. However, K-Means results depend on the initial centres’ values which are selected randomly, which leads to inconsistency in the image segmentation results. In addition, the quality of the isolated regions depends on the homogeneity of the resulted segments. In this paper, an improved K-Means

The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) has been known as a quantitative description of the surface of the Earth, which provides essential information about the terrain. DEMs are significant information sources for a number of practical applications that need surface elevation data. The open-source DEM datasets, such as the Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) usually have approximately low accuracy and coarser resolution. The errors in many datasets of DEMs have already been generally examined for their importance, where their quality could be affected within different aspects, including the types of sensors, algor

In this paper, we generalized the principle of Banach contractive to the relative formula and then used this formula to prove that the set valued mapping has a fixed point in a complete partial metric space. We also showed that the set-valued mapping can have a fixed point in a complete partial metric space without satisfying the contraction condition. Additionally, we justified an example for our proof.

With the growth of open areas comes an ever-increasing risk of fire. However, there is a problem with the present approaches to fire detection, which rely on smoke sensors for wide regions. The advent of video surveillance systems has greatly improved our ability to detect smoke and flames coming from a distance and reduced this risk. Point sensors are slower at detecting fires than cameras when image processing is used. Moreover, using this video and image data presents processing challenges due to the enormous volume of data involved. Several approaches have recently been put forth to address this issue and distinguish between fire and smoke. Earlier methods included image processing algorithms for flame and smoke detection as well as
