In enterprise reporting, we build a report template and reuse the template with different sets of data and parameters for rendering to different reports. While working for a product initiative towards catering to reporting solution space, we have designed and implemented a scheme for management of passing set of parameters to the report processing during rendering from same report template. For rendering...
Fermentation process in black tea manufacturing plays the key role in determining the quality of finished tea. During this process, a complex chain of biochemical changes occurs and the process should be terminated once the optimum fermentation point is reached. Present day practice for detection of optimum fermentation point is purely subjective, and is carried out by experienced industry personnel...
The study and analysis of cardiac function, in particular the left-ventricular function, from echocardiographic image sequence is one important topic of research in the field of medical image processing. In this paper, we develop a technique for segmentation and simultaneous tracking of the left-ventricular wall using active contour model, thereby estimating the motion of the left ventricle. Unlike...
Vision-based hand gesture recognition is a popular research topic for human-machine interaction (HMI). We have earlier developed a model-based method for tracking hand motion in complex scene by using Hausdorff tracker. In this paper, we now propose to extract certain features from the gesture trajectory so as to identify the form of the trajectory. Thus, these features can be efficiently used for...
This paper presents an efficient method for biomedical ultrasound image segmentation based on watershed transformation. It consists of four major stages. These stages are pre-processing, multiscale morphological gradient, watershed segmentation and finally region merging. The proposed scheme is tested using a set of medical ultrasound images. Experimental results show that our proposed method can...
We formulate the uplink resource allocation problem in CDMA wireless networks with interference cancellation in the load domain, which is an exact linearization of the single- cell single-carrier loading and transmit power feasibility constraints. We present a simple cooperative distributed algorithm that solves the single-cell allocation problem when posed in a utility-maximizing framework, and relate...
Discrete barium strontium titanate (BST) thin-film capacitors in industry standard 0603 footprint are introduced and characterized. BST capacitors have a voltage-dependent permittivity, enabling BST thin-film capacitors to be used as tuning elements in frequency agile devices. The capacitance changed by 1.5:1 at 35 V (116 kV/cm) bias. The temperature dependence of the capacitance was measured to be...
The use of human hand as a natural interface for human-computer interaction (HCI) serves as the motivation for research in hand gesture recognition. Gestures provide a rich and intuitive form of interaction for controlling robots. Vision-based hand gesture recognition involves visual analysis of hand shape, position and/or movement. This paper describes a system which enables a robot to recognize...
The task of automatic gesture recognition is highly challenging due to the presence of unpredictable and ambiguous non gesture hand motions referred to as co-articulation. Due to co-articulation that occurs during transition from one gesture to the next, problem is encountered in continuous hand gesture recognition. In this paper, we have shown that co-articulation may be tackled by identifying the...
