The region of interest is the area where the maximum information is centered, for a finger knuckle it is the area surrounding the knuckle region. A good system needs this region of interest as input for the feature vector extraction. In this method we present a novel approach for segmentation of Region of interest (ROI) of a finger-knuckle-print using gradient field orientation & its local field strength. This approach is fast and gives good results in case of shift in finger-knuckle-placement (translational shift).","PeriodicalId":175615,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134568778","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}

The UAV accesses the data from various sensors mounted on board and thus calculates the risks factors for any impending collision. An algorithm for decision making in order to avoid collision is presented in this paper as a pseudo code. Based on the measured as well as estimated risk factors, corrective measures are taken to avoid collision. A stateless collision avoidance system is used for rapid analysis of data that does not have significant correlation between them. For enhanced safety, a synthetic vision system is provided along with the remotely located pilot at the ground station and a communication link is established between the two.","PeriodicalId":175615,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133413101","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}

For recording daily human activity, monitoring system which consists of multiple micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) has been developed. Using the MEMS based monitoring system, numerical data of subject's activity can be stored into a database. For example, when subject's activity on a single day is recorded, a huge volume of data is saved. To estimate the subject's activity condition from such a huge volume data, a fuzzy rule based approach is used in our study. Our proposed method consists of two steps of abstraction. First, action primitives are defined. In the first-step abstraction, sensor data is expressed as a sequence of actions by using the defined action primitives. Next, a fuzzy rule which maps a sequence of actions to a behavior is defined for each behavior. In the second-step abstraction, each sequence of actions is expressed as a behavior. From the results of abstraction, we can estimate the subject's state.","PeriodicalId":175615,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121947870","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}

Normalized and non normalized face images are given to holistic face recognition approach. 2) Selects features manually. Then determine the distance between these features in the face image and apply graph isomorphism rule for face recognition. Then apply Gabor filter on the selected features. Algorithm takes into account Gabor coefficient as well as Euclidean distance between features for face recognition. Brightness normalized and non normalized face images are given to feature based approach face recognition methods. Results demonstrate that the normalized faces can improve the recognition rate in both approaches.","PeriodicalId":175615,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124465703","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}

The input signal is ranging from 300-4000 Hz is sampled at 64 KHz is fed to the series of two stage CIC interpolation filters. A CIC filters up-samples the input signal by a factor 12. The up-sampled signal is now given to the multiplier as the first input. Variable DDS is used to generate HF carrier frequencies in the range of 20-512 KHz is given as a second input to the multiplier will produce the DUC signal. Here 48 KHz carrier is selected. This DUC output is given as an input for DDC. In DDC, the incoming signal is multiplied with DDS which generates frequency of same as in DUC. The output of the multiplier is down-sampled by factor 12 by two stage CIC decimation FIR filter. The input signal of DUC and the output of DDC are compared. These filters are designed using Matlab simulink and developed Verilog code. Simulation is performed using ModelSim XE 6.3c and functional verification is carried out using Xilinx ISE 10.1 and FPGA implementation on Spartan-3. Here our main aim is to implement both DUC and DDC in a single FPGA. Integrating both blocks in same IC such a way that it has to perform both down conversion and up conversion.

Every speaker has different individual characteristics embedded in his /her speech utterances.

To evaluate speech characteristics from utterances they are stored in digitized form. Speech features namely LPC, RC, APSD, Number of zero crossing and Formant frequencies are extracted from speech signal and formed speech feature vectors. These data features are fed into Artificial Neural Network using back propagation learning algorithm and clustering algorithm for training and identification processes of different speakers. The database used for this system consists of 20 speakers including both male and female from different parts of India and languages are Hindi, Sanskrit, Punjabi and Telugu. The average identification rate 83.29% is achieved when the network is trained using back propagation algorithm and it is improved by about 9% and reached up to 92.78% when using clustering algorithm.","PeriodicalId":175615,"journal":{"name":"2010 3rd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering and Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115961843","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}
