The objective of the paper is to eliminate train accidents by exploiting surveillance. Each locomotive is equipped with an automated surveillance system. The train tracks in railway network are segmented and given with distinct track numbers which are read by surveillance system inside the locomotive. This track number will be shared with neighbour trains using Radio Frequency Communication by the surveillance system. The system then compares its track number with neighbour train track numbers. On locating same track numbers, steps are taken by the surveillance system to caution the concerned motorman in order to stop the train and avoid mishaps. The paper proposes specific way of numbering the train tracks in segments. Also a communication protocol is proposed to ensure data transfer among Radio Frequency transceivers of the systems under half duplex mode.","PeriodicalId":313185,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual IEEE India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114127278","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}

In H.264/AVC video coding standard ME process is much more complex due to variable block size with quarter pixel accuracy. In this paper, we proposed a modified small-cross diamond search (MSCDS) motion estimation algorithm for H.264/AVC video coding standard. The proposed algorithm reduces the number of checking points and thereby makes the motion estimation process faster. Moreover, the MSCDS algorithm is suitable for stationary, quasi-stationary and fast moving video sequences and computationally less complex from hardware point of view. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm requires very few number of search points for finding the best matched block with almost negligible loss in video quality. As compared to the fastest existing ME algorithm, proposed algorithm requires 9.02% less number of search points with 0.007 dB loss in PSNR.","PeriodicalId":313185,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual IEEE India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131281186","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}

This paper analyzes the performance of a CDMA WSN, in terms of lifetime of the network, where nodes are placed in a random fashion. A routing protocol is proposed and simulated where selection of intermediate nodes is governed by a parameter which combines the estimation of detection probability of neighbors in presence of large scale fading, and maximum advanced distance with respect to the final destination. Further, the proposed routing scheme is modified by incorporating route diversity. Lifetimes are analyzed in both the cases and compared. Effects of detection probability, shadowing, and route diversity on lifetime are investigated.","PeriodicalId":313185,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual IEEE India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"43 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114023579","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 features of MANETs are like open media, dynamic changes in topology, cooperative and collaborative algorithm and no centralized monitoring system. These features make the network more prone to malicious attack. The traditional way of protecting networks with firewalls and encryption software is no longer sufficient and effective for those features. In this paper, we present a new cluster based intrusion detection algorithm that takes care of black hole attacks in a MANET. This proposed algorithm is based on trustworthiness of the nodes in a network. The network is considered to be a layered structured. The nodes are member of a cluster. Each cluster has cluster head that takes care of all the members of its own cluster and communicates with cluster head at layer 2 whenever required. The cluster head at layer 2 communicate with all cluster head at layer 1. The selection of cluster head depends on three parameters battery power, mobility and trust value of a node in a cluster. Periodically the cluster head updation is done according to three parameters. We have implemented our algorithm using the NS simulator. The performance of the proposed Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has also been evaluated in the process. The performance graph shows marked improvement as far as packet dropping is concerned.","PeriodicalId":313185,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual IEEE India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122367303","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}

To increase the visibility of filtered micro structural details, a contrast enhancement method is also used. The proposed method is compared with the existing scalar Partial Differential Equation (PDE) and non local means (NLM) denoising methods. Quantitative measures are used for validating the efficiency of the proposed contrast enhancement method.

Conventionally hall sensors have been used to derive commutation instants. Use of position sensors has its own merits and demerits. In order to overcome the limitations of position sensor based drives, sensorless techniques are used for control of BLDC motor. The detection of the zero-crossing of the back-EMF is a widely used method for sensorless control. The commutation instants are derived from the information of zero crossing point of the back EMF. Several algorithms have been proposed in literature for the detection of back EMF zero crossing. In this paper a novel method for determining the commutation instants directly from the comparison of the line-to-line voltages and their difference voltages is presented. The performance of the BLDC drive with the proposed algorithm is studied and verified through simulation done in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.","PeriodicalId":313185,"journal":{"name":"2013 Annual IEEE India Conference (INDICON)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123964525","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}
