When calculating the AQI, important air pollutants such as SO2, NO2, ground-level O3, CO, and particle matter are taken into account.

In India, the Central Pollution Control Board(CPCBs) and State Pollution Control Board (SPCBs) monitor the air quality. Every pollutant is assigned a sub-index, and the aggregate of all these sub-indices is known as the AQI. Poor, fair, or acceptable air quality can be conveyed linguistically using the AQI, which is a numerical value. When the AQI rises, it is anticipated that a considerable segment of the population may have major health effects. The current research’s aims to calculate the levels of air pollutants in Raipur's four major parts of cities from December 21, 2023, to March 27, 2024.

The risk of unauthorized access to patients' private data poses a considerable obstacle to medical research advancement. Thus, safeguarding patient data in cloud environments is imperative. Color space-based scrambling algorithms (CSSA) are gaining traction for multimedia data encryption due to their compatibility with JPEG and reduced processing requirements. However, traditional CSSA methods rely on colorful images to optimize security, limiting their applicability in fields like medical image processing where color images may be scarce. This study seeks to integrate CSSA image encryption with Multilayer Perceptron (MLP)-based techniques for securing medical images. Additionally, a noise-based data augmentation method is developed to address data scarcity in medical image analysis.

In this work, we propose a novel visual feature; Spatio-temporal Weber Gradient Directional (SWGD) to effectively represent the micro-patterns of lip movements. The proposed visual feature is obtained by using micro-texture information; local differential excitation, gradient orientation, and gradient directional information. Experiments are conducted using standard OuluVS database. Polynomial kernel based support vector machine (SVM) classifier is employed, as it provides relatively better performance. The SWGD extracted from <span>(2times 5times 3)</span> video block size provides higher performance of 73.9%. Additionally, we explore twelve distinct local descriptors commonly employed in face recognition and utilize them for the first time in a comparative study of phrase recognition. SWGD performs better than these twelve distinct features but has higher dimension of 4320. By reducing the dimension to 100 using the soft locality preserving map (SLPM), performance improved from 73.9 to 81.3%. The dimensionally reduced SWGD (SWGD<span>(_{text {SLPM}})</span>) outperforms other state-of-the-art visual features mentioned in this paper. This shows the benefit of the salient micro-texture information considered in the proposed feature but neglected in state-of-the-art features.
