ڈاکٹر سید ہادی احسن
افسوس ہے کہ گزشتہ آخر مئی میں ڈاکٹر سید ہادی حسن صاحب سابق صدر شعبہ فارسی مسلم یونیورسٹی نے انتقال کیا، مرحوم یونیورسٹی کے لائق اور ممتاز اساتذہ میں تھے۔ قدیم و جدید فارسی زبان و ادب پر ان کو اسناد اور عبور حاصل تھا، ان کی فارسی دانی کا لوہا اہل زبان تک مانتے تھے، نہایت شستہ و رفتہ فارسی میں برجستہ تقریر کرتے تھے اور اپنی ساحرانہ خطابت سے سماں باندھ دیتے تھے اور اس حیثیت سے وہ یونیورسٹی کی آبرو تھے، یونیورسٹی سے ان کو والہانہ تعلق تھا، اس کے عملی کاموں میں سرگرمی سے حصہ لیتے تھے اور ان کی ذات سے یونیورسٹی کو بڑے فوائد پہنچے۔ میڈیکل کالج کے چندہ کی فراہمی میں ڈاکٹر ضیاء الدین مرحوم کے بعد ان کی کوششوں کو سب سے زیادہ دخل تھا، ان کی شخصیت بڑی دلآویز تھی، فارسی شعروادب اور شعراء کے تذکرے اور تراجم پر انگریزی میں متعدد تصانیف ان کی یادگار ہیں۔ اس زمانے کے فارسی کے اساتذہ میں ان کی جیسی قابلیت کی مثالیں کم ملیں گی، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کی مغفرت فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، جولائی ۱۹۶۳ء)
Islam is a comprehensive code of conduct which encompasses to each sphere of human life. This also owns and endorses those manmade rules which serve the cause of humanity and not entering to its fundamentals. Adherence to Pakistani Traffic rules also falls under the preview of the same doctrine. It is very pertinent to note here, that the same traffic rules such as fastening of seat built, proper use of indicators, speed control etc. Have been devised to ensure the safety which starts from a pedestrian and ends up to a rider of any vehicle class. Any violation of traffic rules is an indirect breech of divine discipline imposed by Allah the Almighty. If the violation costs any damage, injury or fatal accident, this will directly be dealt under the principles set by Islam. This study aims at highlighting the significance of adherence to traffic rules which is directly linked to the ground safety. This ultimately serves the main purpose of saving any precious human life. If the same is ensured, no doubt the purpose of the holy verse would be fulfilled
Textual information embedded in multimedia can provide a vital tool for indexing and retrieval. Text extraction process has a lot of inherent problems due to the variation in font sizes, color, backgrounds and resolution. Text detection, localization and tracking are the most challenging phases of the text extraction process whereas text extraction results are highly dependent upon these phases. This dissertation focuses on the text detection, localization and tracking because of their very fundamental importance. A bio-inspired text detection, localization and tracking is developed and presented in the dissertation. Anthropocentric approach of text detection is studied and is mathematically modeled to design a text extraction process. A novel text segmentation method is proposed covering huge range of text scales, colors and font styles. Segmentation procedure consists of adopted K-means clustering and a fuzzy based perceptual merging process. Two effectual feature vectors are introduced for the classification of the text and non-text objects. First feature vector is based upon the human text detection system and is mathematically represented by the Radon transform of the text candidate objects. Second feature vector is derived from the detailed geometrical analysis of the text contents. Union of two feature vectors is used for the classification of text and non-text objects using Support vector machine (SVM). Fuzzy based text tracking mechanism is also introduced in the research that can handle static as well as dynamic text appearing in videos. The dynamic text includes the simple animations like vertical and horizontal scrolling, as well as the complex ones like random movement, scale change and zoom in/out. ii Text detection and localization results are evaluated on three publicly available datasets namely ICDAR 2011, ICDAR 2013 and IPC-Artificial text. Moreover, results are compared with state of the art techniques. Comparison demonstrates the superiority of the presented research. Text tracking dataset is also developed and proposed tracking algorithm is tested on the dataset that demonstrates the applicability of the proposed tracking technique.
