The paper also concentrates on creating a CAD tool independent interface with inputs to the setup being given purely based on images drawn. This simplifies the process with the user not needing to have any computer knowledge at all. All image processing algorithms were designed and developed using Simulink - a part of MATLAB 2011b and controls to the setup were given using an Arduino Uno (ATmega328) Rev. 3 board, in turn creating a perfect embedded system setup.","PeriodicalId":317804,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Bombay Section Symposium (IBSS)","volume":"355 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122339027","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 detection of epileptic seizure is performed in five stages - (i) Optimization of S-transform, (ii) Time-frequency representation of EEG segments using window width optimization of S-transform, (iii) Calculation of Power spectrum density (PSD), (iv) Feature extraction, and (v) Classification of seizure containing EEG segment using Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

In addition, the robot must follow the best possible path among various possible paths present in the maze. Applications of such autonomous vehicles range from simple tasks like robots employed in industries to carry goods through factories, office buildings and other workspaces to dangerous or difficult to reach areas like bomb sniffing, finding humans in wreckage, etc. Existing robots employed in labyrinth problems use long process of training and are incapable of adjusting to dynamic environments. The method proposed here involves image processing and path finding algorithm; which works faster because of beforehand acquiring the maze's data rather than going through the maze cell by cell. The entire maze is captured to determine the possible paths and using Direction Envelope Algorithm for finding the best route. This approach gives robot a prognosis and avoids being trapped or falling in loops.","PeriodicalId":317804,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Bombay Section Symposium (IBSS)","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130399755","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 paper investigates and evaluates a robust generic re-linking technique that aims to enhance route maintenance. Although the use of node residual energy has been exploited in routing protocols, the re-linking techniques for route maintenance need to be researched further. We opine that if data can be re-linked prior to the termination of an existing route on the onset of death of a node, data and energy loss can be reduced. The re-linking technique is fast in response and ensures minimal route disturbance. This eliminates the need to establish a new route from the source to the destination. Incorporation of the re-linking technique in existing routing protocol AODV demonstrates an improvement of 10.18% in packet delivery ratio. Experimental analysis indicates a 15% reduction in data loss and 83.23% decrease in latency.","PeriodicalId":317804,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Bombay Section Symposium (IBSS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128457438","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}
