With the ever increasing human dependency on The Internet for performing various activities such as banking, shopping or transferring money, there equally exists a need for safe and secure transactions. This need automatically translates to the requirement of increased network security and better and fast encryption algorithms. This paper addresses the above issue by introducing a novel methodology...
The past few years has shown a sudden spurt in the field of human computer interaction. The days of using a mouse to control a computer is almost obsolete and people now prefer to use touch screens and more recently, air gestures, for the same. However, the use of gestures is not limited to computers alone. It finds its application in controlling televisions and other home appliances as well. This...
With the advent of Global Positioning Systems or GPS, people around the globe have found an easy solution to locate where they are. However, the main disadvantage of the same is that it does not function well in an indoor location and an alternative for the same must be utilized. Most of the indoor location positioning systems utilize Radio Frequency signals emanating from transmitters spread across...
The past few years have shown an exponential rise in the total number of people commuting with their own personal vehicles. An increase in vehicles has also statistically led to an increase in the number of road accidents as well. Though a lot has been worked upon with respect to the safety of cars, very little has been done to protect the drivers of two wheelers. In this paper we present a novel...
Over the past 5 years, there has been a tremendous rise in designing various prototypes for a 3D printer. While most of them concentrate on accuracy and speed, the cost has always been a concerning factor. In this paper, we present a novel cost effective setup which could be used for both the X and Y axis motion, which is required for either a 3D printer or a cutting machine which is widely used in...
With the evolution in science and technology, a lot has been done over the past few years to make the lives of the differently-abled more comfortable and easy. This paper concentrates on a novel methodology to ease the use of an ATM machine for the blind. It describes an approach wherein both the username and PIN for the ATM machine can be input using British Sign Language. A cost effective setup...
A lot of research has been carried out in the past decade to assist patients suffering from paralysis or Motor Neuron Disease (MND) to communicate and also to move. Though solutions exist, they are extremely expensive and also sluggish in user response. This paper presents a cost effective setup and a novel algorithm to help the MND affected segment of the society to communicate using only blinks...
One of the major problems faced by consumers while shopping at a supermarket is the inability to locate items and also to carry goods to the billing counter. In this paper, we describe a novel cost-effective method to overcome these issues by creating a smart trolley using a web camera along with video processing to complete the tasks. In comparison with previous methods which utilize RFID transceivers,...
Every year farmers experience huge losses due to pest infestation in crops & this inturn impacts his livelihood. In this paper we discuss a novel approach to solve this problem by constantly monitoring crops using video processing, cloud computing and robotics. The paper concentrates in methodologies to detect pests in one of the most popular fruits in the world - the tomato. An insight into how...
Maturity grading or in other words classifying the ripeness of a fruit, based on its color or texture, forms a very important process to be carried out by agriculturists and the food processing industry worldwide. Current techniques mainly involve manual inspection, which leads to erroneous classification, which in turn would cause economical losses due to inferior produce entering the market chain...
The Digital Down Converter also known as the DDC is one of the most integral parts of a baseband wireless receiver system. The major function of the DDC is to down convert an Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal to Baseband. It achieves this by performing complex tasks such as mixing, decimation and filtering and it is due to this reason, the architecture of the DDC occupies a significant on-chip area...
With the introduction and popularization of text to speech convertors, a huge drop in literacy rates is being seen amongst the visually impaired. Also, since Braille is not well known to the masses, communication by the visually impaired with the outside world becomes an arduous task. A lot of research is being carried out in conversion of English text to Braille but not many concentrate on the alternative...
