In recent years, hand gesture recognition framework as an effective sign language tool has been extensively explored by many researchers. This paper presents an idea of developing a framework using computer vision for hand gesture based sign language recognition from real-time video stream. The proposed system identifies hand-palm in video stream based on skin color and background subtraction scheme...
In this paper an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is proposed for the FPGA Controller design for quadcopters (including specifications, design and implementation). This IDE was developed using the High Level Specification of Embedded Systems Rich Client Platform (HiLeS-RCP). The HiLeS-RCP is a framework for specialized “per product line” IDE construction, which links requirements formalization...
This paper illustrates the design of an efficient, stable, accurate and cheap digital heartbeat monitor which accepts the mechanical heartbeat pulses as input, converts them into the electrical form, amplifies them and provides the necessary output on a 7 segment display following a basic logic algorithm. The reading which is obtained in the seven segments is made error free by using suitable cascading...
Healthcare organizations are undergoing tremendous change in analytical computing. The vehicle for this change is implementing a Business Intelligence (BI) platform, which includes On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) Cubes, data visualization tools, and integrated data warehouse (DW). Extracting sensitive data (Personally Identifiable Information-PII, Personal Health Information-PHI) from operational...
In an unknown, unstructured and dynamic environment, the loss of the capabilities in heterogeneous robots assigned to do multiple tasks can be an issue. One main hindrance towards achieving goal in a dynamic environment is the occurrence of a deadlock or conflict between robots on bottle neck resources present in the environment. This study presents Market Based Approach as a method for providing...
User Centered Design is an important aspect of any product to evaluate its success in the market, where there is an abundance of product of similar functionalities. The software products are moving towards the phase where the end user can take the blocks of software, customize and build their own products. This adds more emphasize on the role of UCD in the product development. Many a time, the process...
This paper contemplates the examination by simulation of a digital narrow-band communication system for a situation which incorporates of a High-Altitude aeronautical/ spacecraft Platform generally known as (HAP) and fixed/ mobile terrestrial transceivers under different modulation schemes and different communication channels. The aeronautical channel is designed considering geometrical (angle of...
In this paper we have focussed in the working principle of the cantilever array based nanomechanical systems that are used for olfaction. In vertebrates, the physiology of olfaction is composed of a large number of cells which react in parallel but differential fashion to certain odours. Studies have shown that highly sensitive cantilevers, having high length to thickness ratio and capable of optical...
Recently, there has been the arise of latency-sensitive IoT applications, e.g., in the field of telemedicine or Industrial Internet. Such applications have stringent latency requirements. The entire end-to-end latency between two devices is composed of several individual latencies: the software latency of the application, the software latency in the networking stack, the hardware latency on wire,...
In wireless mobile communication, base station overloading is becoming a huge problem due to increasing multimedia file transferring by the end devices. At first, the device sends a request to the base station and then sends the data bit by bit until the full file transfer is complete. As number of users increase over time, it overloads the base station managing their file transmission. In order to...
Data stream processing addresses the need for high-throughput near real-time data processing, which can be considered as one part of Big Data or Fast Data. In this paper, we study the local parallelization of stream processing on a single multi-core Central Processing Unit (CPU) computer system, which, in our opinion, was not sufficiently addressed yet. In distributed systems, optimizing the local...
In this paper, the innovative approach to extraction of the real size of the human body is presented. The prototype device for such extraction process is designed, implemented and tested on larger sample of subjects. The principal goal is the proposal of a solution for creation of exact skeletal human body model. Model dimensions may be further used in numerous use-cases, such as 3D modelling, clothing...
Several efforts are being made in studying sleeping posture of a person under natural conditions without causing discomfort. In this study, various methods are proposed and explored in which features defining sleep postures of a person are investigated for intelligent pattern recognition. Using the measured depth data, three dimensional depth scans as well as the cross-sectional scans of the static...
As the access to Internet has been so much easier in the last decade or so, people are using online applications more than ever. Online marketing, in fact, the whole e-commerce is getting enormous day by day if not in every minute. Online Reviews play a very important role in this field and proving itself to be auspicious in terms of decision making from a customer's point of view. Even though these...
Disasters either natural or manmade, is a part of our everyday life and no measures can eliminate the occurrence. But, unpreparedness and unawareness of these disasters enhance the severity of damages and cause the loss of human lives. So after the occurrence of the disaster, it requires all out efforts for rescue operation of the lives trapped or lost. When a person gets trapped in an unknown place,...
This paper explores control of a four rotor aerial vehicle, or quadrotor. The quadrotor exhibits under-damped and under-actuated dynamics, so designing a feedback control that can provide robustness to disturbances such as wind and adapt to payloads provides a research challenge. The Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) is a type of neural network that can provide the basis for a stable...
With the tremendous development of remote sensing technologies, a large amount of observation data are generated from sensors. Since each sensor generates data periodically, e.g., every minute, a concurrent data processing using a cloud system plays an important role in the modern design process. This paper focuses on concurrent data processing techniques for an X-band phased array weather radar (PAWR)...
With the rapid development of modern wireless communication systems, the visible light communication system using LED becomes popular due to the higher transmission speed and more reliable QoS. In this paper, we analyze the principle of VLC communication systems and make a field trial simulation using the single chip machine. The analysis of VLC indicates that the VLC communication system could help...
Today internet of things is a new revolution of the internet. A world where the real, digital and the virtual are converging to create smart environments that make energy, transport, cities and many other areas more intelligent. Different types of application like water monitoring, water pollution, air pollution, forest fire detection, smart homes, smart cities where each things can connect from anywhere...
