With the flooding of low-cost UAVs to the consumer market, there is a rejuvenated interest to develop applications using consumer UAVs to enhance the quality of day to day lives of us humans. However, the limited capacity with respect to memory and processing power makes adopting a consumer UAV to advanced tasks such as object detection and tracking challenging. The modern day object tracking quadcopters...
Safety in a travel is a very important factor we consider in our day today life because we live in a very dynamic and a busy lifestyle. As a result the tendency of making failures in critical moments could create a fatal mistake and it could lead even to lose lives. To ensure maximum safety nowadays the researches and design engineers put their maximum efforts. The technology adopts to enhance daily...
Optimization is a wide research area applicable to many areas of science and technology. Day by day, the increasing demand and complexities in the area of transportation, trigger many countries in the world to draw their attention on maximizing rapid adoption of railway transportation. The main consideration is how ever is to utilize the existing infrastructures in order to provide better and enhanced...
We argue that, a wireless sensor does not have to implement a full networking stack in order to be a part of an energy efficient sensing application as long as it can deliver its sensed data to an Internet connected device over a single hop. Current hardware industry trends indicate the possibility of implementing wireless sensors for a low cost with simple capabilities. This poster highlights our...
Sentiment Analysis is a growing research area of Natural Language Processing which aims at identifying positive and negative opinions and emotions from a textual data. Presently, Sentiment Analysis research works range from document level classification to sentence-level, phrase-level or aspect/feature level analysis.
The human elephant conflict in Sri Lanka has been a cause of major concern over the past decade. Frequent clashes between wild elephants and villagers have resulted in severe damage to property, as well as loss of lives for both humans and elephants. Competition for space is the primary reason for conflict between humans and elephants. Elephants that escape from the wildlife national parks venture...
The human-elephant conflict is one of the most severe natural problems in Sri Lanka. There are rich farmlands near the elephant habitats and elephants raid these farms in search of food. This has been the main cause for nearly 70 human deaths and over 200 elephant deaths that have been recorded each year in the recent past. To manage the problem, the government has initiated projects that secure the...
Train Traffic Optimization System is a research targeting to seek a solution to minimize train delays and maximize train productivity in Srilanka Railways. Main purpose of the research is to find out feasible heuristic algorithm for train traffic optimization. Time table generation and application of evolutionary computing to solve above problem is another consideration of the research. This research...
We propose a novel rule-based model to incorporate contextual information and effect of negation that enhances the performance of sentiment classification performed using bag-of-words models. We employed morphological analysis in feature extraction to ensure feature vector contains only opinionated words in a textual review. Also it reduces the dimensionality of feature vector and, eventually improves...
With the development of web technology, researchers had started using blog data in many research aspects and twitter messages is one of them. However, these data are un-organized and thus, it should be organized before gather the information. Classification is one way of organizing the twitter messages. SVM and Naive Bayes classifiers are the most popular classification methods which are often use...
With the development of the technology, people have tend to figure out methods which are not only capable in hiding a message, but also capable of hiding the existence of a message. Steganography was introduced as a result of such research work. The current study is conducted in order to hide a video in a visual file. We suggest changing the LSB (Least significant Bit) of each byte of the carrier...
With the development of web blogs, Social Networks, many news providers used to share their news headlines in various web sites and web blogs. Now-a-days in Sri Lanka, there are many news groups whom share their news headlines in micro blogging services such as Twitter. These data may carry out much valuable information which will relevant to many social research areas. Thus, the purpose of this research...
Declarative SQL queries are a way of abstracting out the underlying complexity in Wireless sensor-actuator networks (WSAN). Current SQL syntax to perform actuation tasks misleads the user because of their artificial way of expressing the actuation tasks thus violating the purpose of the declarative nature. Particularly with respect to distributed in-network actuation tasks where multiple sensor nodes...
Social networks and micro-blogging sites have become a treasured source to reveal “What other people think”. However, the usage is quite limited without sophisticated framework for mining and analysing those opinions. Even though the supervised classification methods outperform human produced baselines, using it for such a framework is impractical, mainly due to the fact that those data spans so many...
In the domain of Wireless Sensor Networks, Smart Home applications are becoming the newest trend. Such deployments face challenges of underlying complexity in programming of traditional wireless sensor networks as well as lack of collaboration within hardware components. To address these issues, a platform that considers sensors and actuators in a wireless sensor network as a database framework is...
The International Conference on Advances in ICT for Emerging Regions (ICTer) is the successor to the International IT Conference, the major IT Conference in Sri Lanka since 1998. It is a forum for the sharing of knowledge through the presentation of research carried out on various aspects of ICT in the region. This year particular effort was made to attract papers from the international community...
