The BER equation is derived using Rician k-factors and SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio). A comprehensive simulation is performed for evaluating BER performance, Receiver sensitivity and power penalty in four areas namely Open Area (OA), Sub-urban Area(SA), Urban Area(UA), Aeronautical/Marine Area(A/M A). Then, BER is evaluated in four areas and simulation results reveal that all the four schemes under the proposed framework suffers power penalty. To the end, it is found that SA and UA schemes experiences higher power penalty in 4×4 MIMO over 2×2 MIMO configuration.","PeriodicalId":108842,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics,Electrical and Signal Processing Techniques (ICREST)","volume":"310 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126211834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An optimized layer structure of PSC with a very thin TiO2 as electron transport layer has been proposed. The optimized PSC shows the highest efficiency ever reported in this system. Insertion of a very thin TiO2 beneath the perovskite material enhances efficiency significantly. However, efficiency has been drastically declined while TiO2 is used on the perovskite material. The role of TiO2 has been studied and the mechanism has also been explained using established formalism. This study has implication to design further efficient and stable PSC to meet energy crisis.","PeriodicalId":108842,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics,Electrical and Signal Processing Techniques (ICREST)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125487131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an improved IRDH scheme with local dispersion for better quality embedded image. For high embedding capacity, correlation based embedding is utilized in all embeddable bits only in the interpolated pixels. The error between an embedded pixel and its original version is then reduced using the local (i.e., block-wise) standard deviation to further improve the embedded image quality. Since the standard deviation is computed from the original pixels and their respective interpolated pixels in a block, the improved embedding process remains reversible to losslessly extract the embedded data. All the original pixels are also kept intact for perfect recovery of the original image. A significant improvement in embedded image quality is thus recorded in comparison to the state-of-the-art IRDH schemes.","PeriodicalId":108842,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics,Electrical and Signal Processing Techniques (ICREST)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132468866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Observations made through an ECG machine are usually recorded and is used to diagnose heart-related disorders. Typically, medically usable ECG machines are expensive thus the service is not easily affordable and accessible for the mass in developing countries like Bangladesh. This research designs a low-cost and portable ECG machine which could be a prototype, if successful in overcoming healthcare regulations, to enable easy observations variations of an Electrocardiogram among the mass. The entire system is comprised of an analog circuit and a processing unit. Primarily, the signal from the body is sensed using bio-electro-potential sensors or more widely known AgCl electrodes. Then an analog circuit retrieves and amplifies the signals received from the body to enable further processing. Moreover, a major component of the processing unit is to enable users to see the signal and allow the scope for a more precise output signal through further filtration both on the machine and over the web. The design used is effective, cheap, and easily doable so that it can be easily replicable.","PeriodicalId":108842,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics,Electrical and Signal Processing Techniques (ICREST)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134538467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many approaches have been followed, using speech signals to detect emotions has been popular among these approaches. In this study, Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC) features were extracted from speech signals to detect the underlying emotion of the speech. Extracted features were used to classify different emotions using LMT classifier. For each frame of a speech signal, 13-dimensional feature vectors were extracted and Logistic Model Tree (LMT) models were trained using these features. For classifying an unknown speech signal, the 13-dimensional frame features are first extracted from the signal and each frame is classified using the trained model. Using a voting mechanism on the classified frames, the emotion of the speech signal is detected. Experimental results on two datasets- Berlin Database of Emotional Speech (Emo-DB) and Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS) show that our approach works very well in classifying certain emotions while it struggles to discern the differences between some pairs of emotions. Among the trained models, the maximum accuracy achieved was 70% in detecting 7 different emotions. Considering the small dimension size of the feature vectors used, this approach provides an efficient solution to classifying different emotions using speech signals.","PeriodicalId":108842,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics,Electrical and Signal Processing Techniques (ICREST)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134407206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical simulation yields coupling efficiency up to ∼78% at the optical communication wavelength of 1550 nm. The dependence of coupling efficiency has been studied by changing the width of the plasmonic waveguide and the length of the semi-minor axis. Based on these results, the optimum dimensions of the semi-elliptical coupler have been determined. In both scenario, the transmission response of the proposed structure is found to be broadband. Using optimum dimensions, we have analyzed coupling efficiency, reflection coefficient, return loss and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at a broad range of input signal wavelengths.","PeriodicalId":108842,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics,Electrical and Signal Processing Techniques (ICREST)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127493231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
