This approach uses the LBPH algorithm with the accuracy of 97.56% to extract features from image frames captured by CCTV cameras. The LBPH algorithm is a texture-based feature extraction method that is robust to illumination changes and is capable of detecting local patterns within an image.The proposed system consists of three main stages: preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. In the preprocessing stage, the input image is preprocessed to enhance its quality and reduce noise. In the feature extraction stage, the LBPH algorithm is applied to the preprocessed image to extract texture features. Finally, in this study, the structural similarity index and the LBPH algorithm are proposed as Smart CCTV with intrusion detection [1]. CCTV cameras record real-time video and analyses it as it is recorded, using intrusion detection to locate illegal individuals entering our monitoring area. Experimental findings demonstrate that the suggested system achieves 97.56% high accuracy in object detection compared to existing methods.

In this article, we give a thorough investigation into how Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) may improve face mask identification. The goal of this work is to provide a reliable and robust CNN-based method for identifying people who are wearing masks in practical situations. We start by outlining the CNN architecture, which has a sequential structure made up of convolutional layers, activation functions, pooling layers, and fully linked layers, and is utilized for facemask identification. The architecture is made to recognize masked and unmasked faces with accuracy and learn hierarchical representations of input photos. Layers are pooled for downsampling, fully linked layers are used for high-level representations, and activation functions are used to induce non-linearities. We use a number of measures, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, to assess the performance of our CNN model. The accuracy of our experimental findings is encouraging, with a 95% overall accuracy in identifying people wearing masks. The accuracy in accurately detecting both positive and negative cases is balanced, as seen by the precision and recall values, which are determined to be 92% and 96%, respectively. We also assess the model’s effectiveness in other scenarios, such as those involving several people spread out across a wide area. Our findings show that even when people are at different distances from one another, there is constant performance with a high accuracy rate of above 90%. This demonstrates the model’s capacity to identify masks regardless of the distance that people are from the camera. We compare the performance of our CNN-based approach to current mask recognition algorithms and show how it outperforms them, outperforming more conventional approaches that generally had accuracy levels of 70–80%.","PeriodicalId":244861,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal on Advanced Science Hub","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125927018","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 major reason is less load generated and high PDR (Packet Drop Ratio) of TDMA which leads to a smaller number of packets received and low throughput whereas DRA T x /R x models provides very less PDR and high load and throughput in comparison. Also, it has been simulatively proved that TDMA models do works better for static Zigbee network then mobile Zigbee network but still not equivalent or close alternative of DRA models.","PeriodicalId":244861,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal on Advanced Science Hub","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117298363","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}

Additionally, it explores the underlying factors that shape the mentality of Indian consumers and influence their buying behavior in the context of Ayurvedic products, with a specific focus on skincare products. The study adopts a holistic approach to examine the level of awareness and attitude of consumers toward Ayurvedic skincare products. Employing a descriptive research design, the paper aims to identify the demographic characteristics of consumers of Ayurvedic skincare products in Karnataka, India. Data collection is carried out using stratified sampling, ensuring representative insights from diverse consumer segments. A 5-point Likert scale is utilized for data gathering, allowing for nuanced assessments of consumer perceptions. Both primary and secondary data sources are lever-aged for comprehensive analysis. Findings from the data analysis revealed that consumers’ purchase behavior is influenced by various factors, including family preferences, pricing considerations, product ingredients, and the influence of advertisements. Interestingly, the study uncovers that consumers display limited knowledge about Ayurvedic skincare products, leading them to rely heavily on the aforementioned factors while making purchase decisions. An intriguing suggestion emerges from the younger cohort of consumers who advocate for the establishment of a regulatory body to study the effectiveness of Ayurvedic skincare products. This proposal aims to verify the claims made by manufacturers regarding the efficacy of their products, even though Ayurveda is deeply rooted in India’s traditional healthcare system. Overall, this research paper offers valuable insights into the awareness, attitude, and buying behavior of Indian consumers towards Ayurvedic skincare products, shedding light on the dynamic factors that shape their preferences and decisions.

In this study, we used Hybrid technique that combines supervised learning features and hand-crafted features. The texture features based on the grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) are used to build the hand-crafted features.

When data relevant to several applications is gathered by the WSN’s nodes and sent to the sink, it may be analysed and repurposed. Sensing data is often sent from the sensor to the sink via multi-hop routing. To identify the network event, the sink stores the data in a database, processes it using control instructions, and then assesses the results. (Wu, Lee, and Chung) Data aggregation reduces the amount of data that must be sent by processing data locally inside the network.This paper suggested clustering method called ”Improved Data Accumulation Clustering (IDAC)” emphasises the formation of clusters with the goals of load balancing and lifespan extension for the network. First, the cluster heads are selected depending on their distance from the hub. The base station is located outside the sensing area. At initially, we feed each sensor the same amount of energy. All sensors can simultaneously gather data and it has been send to hub. The BS is aware of the positions of every sensor node, also nodes at top level of cluster have communication capabilities. cluster head probability is denoted by the symbol p.
