A person needs vision to access the information in a text. However those who have poor vision can gather information from voice. This paper proposes a camera based assistive text reading to help visually impaired person in reading the text present on the captured image. The faces can also be detected when a person enter into the frame by the mode control. The proposed idea involves text extraction from scanned image using Tesseract Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and converting the text to speech by e-Speak tool, a process which makes visually impaired persons to read the text. This is a prototype for blind people to recognize the products in real world by extracting the text on image and converting it into speech. Proposed method is carried out by using Raspberry pi and portability is achieved by using a battery backup. Thus the user can carry the device anywhere and able to use at any time. Upon entering the camera view previously stored faces are identified and informed which can be implemented as a future technology. This technology helps millions of people in the world who experience a significant loss of vision.","PeriodicalId":208028,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Circuit ,Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126314385","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}

OWC has been expected to be an appealing alternative to radio frequency (RF) systems due to its distinct advantages that include rich spectrum resources and high communication security. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is employed in OWC to achieve high data rates and bearable inter-symbol interference (ISI). This paper focuses on designing a Flip-OFDM system for OWC. The performance of the Flip-OFDM OWC system is compared with the conventional OWC system employing QAM.

The effect of contact resistance cannot be neglected as the device is scaled down. As the contact resistance is directly related to the device drain current, increase in contact resistance results in reduced current flow. In this paper contact resistance formula with respect to sheet resistance, resistivity of the graphene under source-drain contacts and channel length is derived. It is known that Gold (Au) offers lesser contact resistance due to its lower sheet resistivity. Hence the derived formula is validated by proving that the contact resistance of Gold(Au) is lesser than other metals. The derived formula provides easier contact resistance calculation by replacing the sheet resistivity of different materials. A comparative study is made by having different metals as contacts and the total contact resistance offered by each metal is estimated. The model that has been developed to incorporate the contact resistance is used to determine drain current, which is computed by analyzing the channel potential and electric field. A novel method is adopted to analyze the channel potential by segmenting the channel. This method is key feature in modeling a purely ballistic transport at 15nm channel length. The ballistic structure resulted in lower channel potential drop due to the reduced scattering of electrons. Mobility which is considered to be a key factor of Graphene is being analyzed with respect to carrier concentration, conductivity and temperature. The realized mobility is found to be higher of 2497 cm /Vs. Simulation of a digital application-GFET Inverter with lesser fall time is presented in this paper.","PeriodicalId":208028,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Circuit ,Power and Computing Technologies (ICCPCT)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130647634","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 main motive in using MPC is the ability to consider control and state constraints that occur in practical problems. In addition, MPC techniques consider a clear-cut performance criterion to be lessened during the control law computation. The trajectory tracking problem is solved using two approaches: PID controller and Linear MPC. The modeling of Quadcopter is developed using kinematic and dynamic equations. By making suitable assumptions, a simplified model is obtained, which is taken as the reference model for MPC. Simulation results are provided in order to show the effectiveness of both schemes. For comparison purpose only one degree of freedom, i.e., altitude is considered. The same methodology can be extended to other degrees of freedom(DOF).
