[This article and all those to come are all extractions from my university BA research paper. Changes, updates and improvements are to be made when necessary. All rights reserved for the owner.]

[Part 10]

Note: Compared to the original paper, various parts are ignored for multiple reasons, most of which is due to major updates have taken place and the issues found with the older methods. (For example, the interface was made with Python Tkinter GUI framework. And How the results were preprocessed, proceeded and presented. Bugs fixed and imporvements in processing speed) We shall, however, discuss the updates in the upcoming articles.
