But, in the arena of electronic devices, tools for Bangla writing are inadequate. Also, there are limitations for typing Bangla faster in an efficient way because of the lack of proper layout. After forty-one years of the liberation war, an optimal and widely accepted Bangla keyboard layout has not yet been obtained. And in present days, smart-phones and tabs are being used profoundly where soft keyboard is the most essential input method. In Bangla soft keyboard, the arrangement of letters should be in such a way that paves the way towards an easy and efficient text input method. Our primary evaluation shows a significant improvement in typing speed, ease of learning and reduction in error rates. Hence we propose an efficient Fixed Bangla Keyboard Layout where Bangla alphabets are mapped phonetically on the standard QWERTY keyboard and a Bangla text-to-image replacement technique for non-Bangla supported smartphones. In this paper we present a soft keyboard implemented on Android platform using this layout with text-to-image conversion support.","PeriodicalId":127060,"journal":{"name":"2012 15th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"96 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120882153","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}

Attempts have been made to optimize the antenna performance by using a single slot in different position in patch, by increasing the number of slots in vertical and horizontal direction and by using array technique. The simulation is performed by using GEMS simulator which is commercially available antenna simulator. The antenna is designed by using Taconic TLY-5 dielectric substrate with permittivity □r =2.2 and height, h=1.588 mm. Without using array technique we have got the return losses in the range of −20 db to −25 db at the frequencies around 19.5 GHz. The series feed array offers −13db return loss around 21GHz, −17.5 db return loss around 16 GHz and −7.25 db return loss around 11.5 GHz. Therefore, this antenna is suitable for K-band, Ku-band and X-band applications.","PeriodicalId":127060,"journal":{"name":"2012 15th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115559059","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}

Using skin color; we detect the hand from the input image sequences and then we process the data for feature extraction. Three features are proposed for effectively recognize the gesture by our system. These are orientation, area and angle of the palm. As we proposed our system for dynamic gesture, Hidden Markov Model is utilized to recognize the gesture. In our lab environment our proposed system shows very promising result and we were able to achieve about 80.67% recognition rate on average. The system that we proposed will not only help to recognize the gesture of hand accurately but also lessen the cost for implementing this kind of system because of using minimal number of hardware.","PeriodicalId":127060,"journal":{"name":"2012 15th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124505773","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}

Also, allocating resources such as tube wells efficiently and effectively to mitigate arsenic hazard is a challenging task in Bangladesh. To allocate resources based on different arsenic hazard parameters, we have developed a Decision Support System that enables the user to observe the effect of allocation policy both in tabular and spatial format using statistical models. We have also developed an algorithm for optimal allocation of resources.

This will greatly assist paralyzed individuals through bypassing the damaged brain region. The key process of this communication interface is to decode movements from neural signals and encode information into neural activity. The majority of decoding or pattern classification studies have focused on cortical areas for BCIs, but deep brain structures have also been involved in motor control. The subthalamic nucleus (STN) in the basal ganglia is involved in the preparation, execution and imagining of movements, and may be an alternative source for driving BCIs. This study therefore aimed to classify patterns of deep brain local field potentials (LFPs) related to execution of visually cued movements. LFPs were recorded bilaterally from the STN through deep brain stimulation electrodes implanted in patients with Parkinson's disease. The frequency dependent components of the LFPs were extracted using the wavelet packet transform. In each frequency component, signal features were extracted using an alternative approach called neural synchronization by analyzing Granger causality between the STN. Based on these extracted features, a new feature selection strategy, namely weighted sequential feature selection (WSFS) was developed to efficiently select the optimal feature subset. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was implemented alongside this novel feature extraction and selection strategy, and evaluated using a cross-validation procedure. Using this optimised feature subset, average correct pattern classification accuracy of movement (left or right) reached 76.0±3.1%. The results obtained in this study are encouraging and suggest that the neural activity in the deep neural circuit (basal ganglia) can be used for controlling BCIs.","PeriodicalId":127060,"journal":{"name":"2012 15th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125810345","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}

Detecting and recognizing these expressions comes naturally to us. But recognizing expressions is not straight forward for machines. In recent years a lot of literatures surged concerning automatic facial expression recognition. While some of these efforts have generated very good results, room for improvement still remains. There are several ways facial expression recognition can be performed. In this work we are proposing an appearance based method for extracting a new type of image descriptor based on Gabor wavelet which can be used for creating a feature vector of an image. To achieve this goal we applied Gabor filter over the image and recorded the edge response at each pixel. For each pixel we take several responses on several orientations. Finally we encode the responses and create a feature vector from the generated codes. We also showed experimental results on standard database for facial expression recognition using our proposed method.","PeriodicalId":127060,"journal":{"name":"2012 15th International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130555917","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}
