The idea is to automate the home appliances according to the user requirements without human intervention. After a long tiring day and heavy workloads user will not be in a state of taking out its mobile phone and pressing the buttons for controlling home appliances. Several methods have been proposed in the design of such systems using sensors, biometrics and face detection. This paper proposes a method for detecting human emotions by taking into account the complete facial analysis, suggesting that the emotions can accurately be determined by analyzing eyes, nose and lips separately hence covering a wide range of emotions. The classification is carried out by acquiring the image of user followed by the face detection and segmenting the region of interests (ROI) i.e. eyes, nose and lips for further analysis of emotions. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) along with feature extraction techniques and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are used for classification of emotion for the said automation system. Policies have been implemented in Java to simulate the home automation environment for testing and validation. At the instant this system has been tested on a single user with 4 basic emotions i.e. sad, anger, happiness and neutral, but this study can be a basis to develop an automated system with variety of emotions for multiple users.","PeriodicalId":166507,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122119795","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}

Here, we have taken four different physiological states of sitting, standing, jogging and laying. Two groups of 5 to 10 healthy volunteers males and females are formed. The PPG signal acquisition is performed by Easy Pulse analyzer sensor module. Each sample for each state was taken for one-minute duration at stopwatch keeping the consolidated state of volunteer prior to fetching of PPG signal. The Easy pulse analyzer module implicates the pulse oximetry working principle and get the signal from the finger tip of subjects, which determines the oxygen saturation in blood and passes the signal by the optical sensor via a sequential high and low pass op-amp filters and ultimately produces the conditioned PPG signal. The interfacing between the easy pulse analyzer and computing machine was done with the help of Arduino processing board. The Kubios HRV software was utilized in order to execute and manipulate PPG data (numerical values) samples in required format. The report sheet was generated which pertains the frequency and time domain paradigms and was analyzed for respective PPG signal according to the physiological conditions. The results for each data set among four physical states define the co-relation between the physical state and corresponding PPG signal. Moreover, the variation in frequency components is observed during the change in physiological condition.","PeriodicalId":166507,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129036418","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}

We developed H2/H∞ robust feedback controllers for the model in order to synthesize by combining a full information controller with an estimator to achieve stabilizing results. We later included parametric uncertainties of the model as modeling noise and exogenous inputs of the model. Furthermore, we tuned the controller performance to minimize the effects of the disturbances and the impact of the measurement noise and modeling errors. We simulated the model in MATLAB/Simulink for study of stability analysis and performance comparison.

In these kind of networks, nodes are connected through wireless links with an auxiliary topology and without any pre-existing infrastructure. However due to mobility of nodes and un-centralized control, routes in MANET are unstable in nature. For which range of different routing protocols (AODV, DSR, DSDV, etc) and different routing schemes have been proposed, the major focus of which have been laid in changing routing metric and saving power sources. We changed the route cost calculation method in AODV routing protocol and analyzed it in different routing scenarios through changing number of nodes as well as nodes mobility. Through evaluation of performance comparison it is observed that effectively of a certain routing technique depends on location of nodes as well as their modes whether they are static or mobile.","PeriodicalId":166507,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Emerging Technologies (ICET)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122974217","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}

Rural areas, particularly in the developing countries, do not have access to internet. Infrastructure based communication is very expensive, which makes it infeasible for the inhabitants of the backward areas. The presence of sparse nodes in the rural areas compared with urban areas decreases the chances of interaction among nodes. This can result in communication delay. In this paper, we propose a social interest based routing scheme that incorporates user interest into working movement model for delivery of data. Leveraging the diversity of interest in bus movement and placing the Throw box in the evening activity places in the working movement model, the proposed scheme achieves higher delivery probability. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme since delivery probability as high as 0.81 is attained.
