Fuzzy Rule-based Contrast Enhancement (FRCE) System using Pydroid 3 and Jupyter Notebook

It was fun to implement Fuzzy Rule-based Contrast Enhancement (FRCE) System in Python using Pydroid 3 Android App with Jupyter Notebook. My python learning journey took another step.

APU, CPU, GPU, and TPU

Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) = Central Processing Unit (CPU) + Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) = Aplication Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)

TPU uses tensor operations for speedy computations.

Example: Both DFT and FFT compute Fourier Transform; however FFT compute in a much faster manner by exploiting similarity to significantly reduce number of operations.

pydroid 3 and jupyter notebook

Learning python is always a fun. Now it comes to Android with pydroid 3. After few experiments, part of a fuzzy sytem implemented.

Working with PDF Files

It is difficult to work with PDF files, especially; when it comes to editing and cropping. Extraction of pages from a PDF file is made easy through use of PDF print or save option, however, other options do exist. For example, PDFsam Basic and PDFescape, see few screenshots pasted below.

Student Solution to the Aging Problem

Following is a list of few solutions proposed by the students on the aging problem faced by economies.

  1. Health card
  2. Load reduction 
  3. Interaction with kids 
  4. Interaction among elderly 
  5. Exercises 
  6. Early diagnosis facility
  7. Regular checkups by doctors 
  8. Change eating habits 
  9. Community work
  10. Use of technology e.g. medical devices
As per my knowledge and understanding of the problem; the best solution lies in the joint family system which is a prominent feature in many rich cultures around the World. One example is the animation movie "COCO" that highlights love for the elderly and memories of passed away relatives. 

*** Islam guides respect for elderly and especially for parents ***
