Development of underwater vehicles is a complex and challenging task. Especially the integration of components like sensors and actuators in a control loop is difficult and costly and requires many experiments. One of the difficulties is the lack of debugging facilities underwater. In this paper, we suggest a distributed system architecture and a testbed concept for the development of networked autonomous...
A versatile framework for automation of sophisticated farm machinery has been proposed in this paper. The paper details the functional design and development of the hardware and software architecture of the framework for electronic monitoring and control of a complex system. The framework aims to provide a user friendly bridge between the digital world and the physical world and covers the core software...
In Resent year Popularity of Home automation has been increasing due to low cost and simplicity through Smartphone and tablet connectivity. It is an automation of home or house hold activity. Raspberry Pi is a small computer, which was introduced in the year of 2012; it is currently a mainstream system subject to extensive availability that can be used in home automation. It is estimated that up to...
The goal of this paper is to construct an dynamic secure combinatorial keying approach. We focus on heterogeneous mobile wireless sensor network environments. The proposed approach is called dynamic secure combinatorial keying approach (DSCKAD). Most of the previous work on WSN security focuses on homogeneous motes. In homogeneous WSN, sensors have the same resource specifications such as battery...
How to control and monitor devices when I'm not at home? It is a question that until the last century did not have an overwhelming answer from the engineering field. The technological development of recent years has allowed us to perform this task by using software and hardware tools: monitoring different devices from our smartphone comes down to simply downloading an app or entering a website. This...
With the advent of powerful and inexpensive sensing technology the ability to study human behaviour and activity at large scale and for long periods is becoming a firm reality. Wearables and mobile devices further allow the continuous physical colocation with the users. This reality generates new challenges but also opens the door to potentially innovative ways of understanding our daily lives. In...
This talk will present a vision, and real-world examples, of the use of mobile crowdsourcing for building a variety of smart-city applications and services. I will first describe the paradigm of centrally-coordinated crowdsourcing, where the crowdsourcing platform intelligently recommends different tasks to different candidate workers, and contrast it with today's prevalent paradigm, where workers...
An increasingly large amount of multimodal content is posted on social media websites such as YouTube and Face book every day. In order to cope with the growth of such so much multimodal data, there is very urgent need to develop an intelligent multi-modal analysis framework that can effectively extract information from multiple modalities. In this research work, here propose a novel multimodal information...
This approach illustrates that the ENHANCED LEACH is a routing protocol. The proposed research we have used no of connection in a group or cluster. Every cluster has a cluster head and the cluster head directly communicate with the base place. The results of the ENHANCED LEACH protocol are comparison with existing Leach Protocol. Here base connection is located to equal distance of a cluster and it's...
The world today is becoming smart in-terms of technology. Internet of Things is an enabler for smart world. However the problem with internet of Things is that they are devices which support heterogeneous methods of communication. Another problem is that the existing network is already loaded and the surge of data increase once more and more devices are connected will be enormous. In this paper we...
Group sparse vectors are the generalization of unstructured sparse vectors, with zero and non-zero elements occurring in groups. In group sparse signal recovery problems, we are interested in finding the signal with the smallest number of active groups that satisfy our observations. Because this problem has exponential complexity, a convex relaxation is typically used, which minimizes the sum of the...
Increasing incomes and awards of games leads to better manage games for referees to prevent decision errors. Besides investments made by authorities to better train referees, it is becoming more and more necessary to automatize the game arbitration processes. For amateur games with no referee, there is also a need for an automation system to replace the referee. One of the popular games is table tennis...
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is one of the communication channel used to make an interaction between human brain and digital computer to control/operate the external devices without having any touch of muscular body part. This provides the easiness in operations and also helpful to elder and decibel people. This is useful for people who cannot operate the peripheral devices using our normal muscular...
We use collaborative sensing in a cognitive radio network for a more accurate sensing decision. Individual radio nodes sends its local sensing report to the fusion center (FC), which combines the local sensing reports using some fusion rule thereby arriving at a final sensing decision. However, a malicious node may launch the Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification (SSDF) attack in which the local sensing...
The main goal of this work is to introduce sensor technologies that have an impact on modern world. There are many technologies and many different views on them. Current trends lead the entire world to work on various combinations of several technologies. This allows us to look at the world through a camera in a wide spectrum at the same time. Using IR sensor, depth camera is eligible to scan one's...
Language of signs is usually used by the deaf-mute persons in order to convey their message. But, it becomes very difficult for those who have no knowledge of the sign language. The aim of this research work is to resolve this problem using Digital Dactylology Converser (DDC) which is a device that converts a sign language into voice signal and text message. Primarily a hands gesture is recognised...
The coverage is a critical issue in WSNs and considered as a measure of the service quality of WSNs. We proposed a coverage optimal algorithm based on Virtual Distance (VD) to enhance the coverage of WSNs after initial random placement. We define the ideal position of node related to its neighbor, and then the distance vector of one node's real position to ideal position is defined as virtual distance...
The Japanese government conducted measures for persons with disabilities in 2013 and they reported that about 2.2 million of challenged children aged 17 or younger live in Japan. Those children cannot communicate with others without somebody's help because of severe physical disabilities and they are wholeheartedly keen to become a member of a society and crave a device/application to communicate...
Standalone inertial navigation system (INS) in indoor pedestrian positioning is becoming imminent as the researchers exploit its small form factor and low power requirement. This will result in small-size, low-power wearable devices that are not obtrusive to the users and yet provide sufficiently accurate pedestrian localization and tracking within. At this stage, most of the recent INS-based indoor...
Clothing companies should be aware of the in demand products that they should reproduce at a given time. In this study, the researchers aim to improve monitoring of sales in the business industry specifically in clothing companies. The group implemented a system that automatically scans and records apparel swing tags, which is geared towards an easier and faster processing of sales with the use of...
