ECG(Electrocardiogram) signals get corrupted due to different noises and artifacts such as power line interference, baseline wander, motion artifacts, contact noise that hide lot of required information. This information is required for detecting various cardiac diseases. Hence before processing ECG signal denoising plays important role to obtain significant features of ECG signal. For denoising, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is applied on contaminated ECG signal. ICA is a blind source separation technique used to find the independent source signal from non-gaussian noisy signal. The ICA technique deals with maximization of non-gaussian source signal using higher order parameters such as kurtosis and Negentropy. The process of maximization is based on the central limit theorem. ICA can be used for ECG denoising only because ECG signal has super Gaussian shape. This technique is capable to remove noise and artifacts even though they have same frequency as original signal. The FastICA with different granularity functions like tanh, power 3 isolates noise and original signal using kurtosis values of separated signal. Analysis of FastICA shows tanh granularity has faster convergence as compared to power 3 granularity and SNR ratio is of 7db. © 2016 IEEE.

Radio frequency Technology (RFID) is an automatic identification technology It consists of a transponder or »tag». The tag is the data carrying element of an RFID system. The »reader» contains a radio frequency receiver and sometimes a transmitter, a control unit and an antenna to provide data retrieval or communication with the tag. The following project proposes to build a Self-Aware Inventory System based on IBM Security Directory Integrator (IBM SDI), RFID and sensors. IBM Security Directory Integrator can convert data received into a form which can then be processed further. This system consists of ultrasonic sensors, RFID tagged objects and an RFID reader which would gather information and detect current status of objects within the system. The end user would be alerted with regular updates about contents of the system and required actions to be performed. A typical application/implementation of such a system would lie in Internet of Things (IoT). For example, a RFID System enabled refrigerator. Here, the tags on perishable and non-perishable item will be sensed by the RFID reader and information such as expiry date, type of item, or quantity is recorded into the database. This data would then be processed by IBM SDI and converted into a form which can then be displayed on a customized GUI. © 2016 IEEE.

The paper proposes an intelligent control of DC–DC boost converter in the presence of uncertain dynamics. The converter is desired to operate with an energy harvesting system, where the input conditions are uncertain. An extended state observer (ESO) is designed which estimates and accords with the disturbances caused by load and input uncertainties. The proposed control technique address the issues of uncertainties involved in the energy harvesting system where the system is connected to constant voltage source. The overall stability of the system is proved. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified for a representative example and it assures fast voltage regulation, even in the presence of sudden load and input voltage changes. This proves that the proposed method is capable of compensating the uncertain dynamics in the system. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.

Agritourism is the blend of tourism and agriculture industries which allows the community to become engaged with agriculture environment, local food and rural experience beyond the farmers’ market, and also allows the farmer an entire new source of revenue. There are many popular articles, academic articles, study reports available in global context related agritourism. However, there is no comprehensive overview of the research work published in India. This study presents a comprehensive literature review to gain a better understanding of the contents of the agritourism development literature. Based on the findings from the literature review, concept development, the impact of agritourism especially social and economic on the development of agriculture and rural community are identified. In addition, factors to be consider while starting Agritourism is suggested.

Three dimensional view of objects is becoming of utmost importance. In day to day technology and entertainment applications, instead of using traditional multi-view technology. We are proposing estimation of distance co-ordinates using distances obtained by ifm O3D200 three dimensional camera at lower resolution of image pixels. The camera uses laser technology with time of flight principle. The same scene is imaged using high resolution 2D camera. The matching of certain feature points in 3D &amp; 2D camera scene and interpolating distance a 3D view can be reconstructed by simple triangulation process. The main features used are edges linked used Hough transform for matching and image registration. It has been observed that bilinear and bicubic interpolation gives better results eventhough the resolution of 3Dcamera is very less. We further applied technique for computation of volume in water tank and trench, which was very close to the actual measurement.

In computer vision application object tracking is a challenging problem. Illumination and occlusion are major constraints observed in object tracking. We are focusing on object tracking with partial or full occlusion. Object tracking is done using features like colors and contours. We have proposed a robust Color-based algorithm to track the object and handle occlusion in real time domain. In our algorithm, HSV color model is used and HSV range of the color object to be tracked is selected. Required object area is identified and contour is formed accordingly to track the object. Proposed algorithm is implemented on ARM Cortex-A7 using Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) and Linux-embedded platform. The experiment is done using generated real life database and standard unusual crowd activity database. Results showed run time performance, efficiency and accuracy in real time environment. © 2015 IEEE.

Image segmentation for analysis is a major aspect of perception and till date it is challenging issue for machine perception. Many years of study in computer vision prove that segmenting an image into meaningful regions for subsequent processing (e.g., pattern recognition) is just as hard problem as invariant pattern recognition. In this paper, the proposed work uses the different type of procedures has been followed to carry out colour-texture image segmentation. Segmentation methods are designed to integrate more feature information, with high accuracy and satisfactory visual entirety. The segmentation process is based on MSST and student’s t-distribution method.

Compression, encryption, encoding and modulation at the transmitter side and reverse process at the receiver side are the major processes in any wireless communication system. All these steps were carried out separately before. But, in 1978 R. J. McEliece had proposed the concept of combining security and channel encoding techniques together. Many schemes are proposed by different researchers for this combine approach. Sharing the information securely, but at the same time maintaining acceptable bit error rate in such combine system is difficult. In this paper, a new technique for robust and secure wireless transmission of image combining Turbo Product Code (TPC) with chaotic encryption is proposed. Logistic map is used for chaotic encryption and TPC for channel encoding. Simulation results for this combined system are analyzed and it shows that TPC and chaotic combination gives secure transmission with acceptable data rate.

The incident of fall of elder people increases day by day. Falls are one of the greatest risks for seniors living alone. Sometimes people may get serious injury to the spinal cord and hip region. In such cases, an injured elder people may remain on the ground for several hours after a fall incident has occurred. So there is a need of fall detection system to avoid such incident. This paper propose a novel method to detect falls which combines four features, Orientation angle, ratio of fitted ellipse, Motion Coefficient, Silhouette threshold. These features act as inputs to K-Nearest Neighbor classifier which recognizes fall events. This algorithm gives accuracy above 95% on stored video sequences of activities and real time environment. © 2015 IEEE.
