On premise storage and processing of that high volume and high veracity data are not only compute intensive and sub optimized but also vulnerable during any disaster. Cloud based storage systems [1] are widely popular for off premise data storage and processing. At the same time data confidentiality, integrity and availability are also prime concerns for range activity data, which can be addressed by using blockchain technology. Though blockchain technology has been used in many areas like healthcare, business and finance, there has not been significant work on cloud storage security based on blockchain technology. In this paper various cloud storage challenges are discussed with their blockchain based solutions. Finally a working model is discussed with all the required features for storing high volume and sensitive range activity data.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129796006","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}

We know that ACA is a very popular configuration for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation for its advantage of less mutual coupling. ACA consists of two subarrays where both of them share the first sensor. The number of elements in each of the subarrays is 2M and $N$ where $M$ and $N$ are coprime. The number of consecutive DOF an ACA achieves with $N$ + 2M – 1 sensors is 2M N + 2M – 1. Here, we optimize the ACA structure for a given number of sensors and find out the values of $M$ and $N$ so that the array can achieve maximum DOF. We also give closed-form expressions of the DOF for a specific number of sensors. For DOA estimation, the spatial smoothing MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm is used. In the simulation part, we estimate the spatial spectrum of this array, analyze the DOF versus the number of sensors and also look into the root mean square error (RMSE) performance of the array.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127575571","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 this paper the Ramanujan Sum based DWT (Discrete wavelet transform) is implemented to tackle the problem of multitarget tracking using wavelets. A novel multi-target tracking algorithm is proposed based on DWT. The implementation is done for real time video sequences. The result is compared to Haar & Daubechies based DWT tracking algorithm and performance is better in the video sequences that have been evaluated on the Ramanujan sums-based DWT tracking algorithm. Also, as Ramanujan sums-based wavelet transform use integer coefficients and the normalization can be performed at a later stage, it would be easier to form hardware on this.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115949774","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 many forensic applications, there is a need to understand the life history of the image under analysis since multimedia data is slowly becoming admissible as evidence in the court of law. The work reported in the paper is a novel attempt in this direction where a convolutional neural network is utilized with twin objectives. Firstly, to detect the presence of resizing by capturing the forensic clues left behind by the resizing operation and secondly, to determine by what factor the uncompressed image was resized which is a blind estimation. Experimental simulation utilizing the raise dataset shows very high accuracy scores for the proposed method. To check the robustness of the proposed network, an adversarial attack, namely Carlini and the Wagner attack, is a white-box attack aiming towards system failure. To the best of our knowledge, such a detailed forensic analysis with one of the adversarial attacks to validate the security of the proposed method has never been reported in the literature and is the novel contribution of the work.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125904012","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 order to improve performance of autoencoder, skip connections from initial layers of encoder to the final layers of decoder have also been used. The deconvolutional part can be understood as combination of upsampling layers and convolutional layers. The proposed technique achieves impressive performance on a dataset (WHU-RS19) that has images of different geographies and are highly unrelated.

The Luneberg lens is a class of optical devices that finds potential applicability as passive radar augmenters for aerial target systems such as drones, tow-bodies etc. They effectively simulate dynamic target by providing mono-static radio frequency echo in the direction of radar required for the drills. The lens is a spherically symmetric structure and made of nonhomogenous dielectric material where refractive index (n) decreases radially from the center to the outer surface. It can produce radar cross-section that measures several hundred times that of a metallic sphere of same size. In practice, it is developed by layered assembly of discrete concentric shells, each of a different refractive index. A chosen portion of its outer surface is masked with a thin conductive layer for reflection. A comprehensive study has been carried out to configure, simulate and evaluate the performance of a compact Luneberg lens and have been discussed. Further, to achieve required detectability of an indigenous aerial tow-target system with specific RCS coverage, multiple lenses placed in different orientations have been configured and reported.","PeriodicalId":344816,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd International Conference on Range Technology (ICORT)","volume":"344 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120837882","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}
