It is based on the Local Binary Patterns and thresholding techniques. The main features of an image are obtained by Local Binary patterns, and two level thresholding is used to make the edges visible and clear. The simplicity and robustness of the proposed approach in noisy environment makes it suitable for the subsequent analysis of the flame features. Various experimentations are carried out on synthetic as well as real images. The results show the proposed approach gives good localization and effective edge detection as compared to the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":355706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE-2014)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132325945","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 work, performance of a new modified version of Firefly algorithm (MoFA) is compared with standard FA and two more versions of FA on various parameters. Results demonstrate that the new modified algorithm is superior to all the other three algorithms in all aspects.","PeriodicalId":355706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE-2014)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130860303","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}

With an LCL-filter, additional switching frequency current components can be reduced more effectively. However, because of the resonance phenomenon of the supply filter and the DSTATCOM wide operating bandwidth, the use of the LCL filter in DSTATCOM is challenging. By selecting two similar inductance, LCL-filter design becomes more simpler. The entire system is numerically simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform and the results showing the feasibility and stability of DSTATCOM LCL-filter with reduced number of sensors is presented.","PeriodicalId":355706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE-2014)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127861633","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}

However, while utilizing the mobile cloud computing technology users lose physical control of their data; this ultimately calls for the need of a data security protocol. Although, numerous such protocols have been proposed,none of them consider a cloudlet based architecture. A cloudlet is a reliable, resource-rich computer/cluster which is well-connected to the internet and is available to nearby mobile devices. In this paper, we propose a data security protocol for a distributed cloud architecture having cloudlet integrated with the base station, using the property of perfect forward secrecy. Our protocol not only protects data from any unauthorized user, but also prevents exposure of data to the cloud owner.","PeriodicalId":355706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE-2014)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131327971","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}

All varieties of a product have pros and cons in plenty, and the task of identifying a suitable product is daunting and cumbersome. To address this, we propose a methodology to identify preferred products in an automated manner. The end result is achieved by analyzing the history of multiple factors involved with the product of study and utilizing a supervised learning algorithm to predict the worthiness of the product with respect to the user. This algorithm is designed by combining and customizing sentiment analysis and automatic ontology construction algorithms. Dependency parsing for ontology construction, HMM/CRF for decision making, and a new personalized algorithm for sentiment analysis were utilized to customize the prediction method. For a product under consideration, the algorithm takes into account all the user specified features and predicts an outcome of it being good (positive) or bad (negative) to the interested user. This outcome is achieved by analyzing the past history of the features specified by the user. Using this algorithm we studied a set of 20 movies released during the period of January - March 2013 and achieved 70% accuracy in predicting their box office outcome. Our results indicate that there is a correlation between the selected features past performance and the overall success of a new product with the same features. Given a wide array of available choices, this algorithm can predict an ideal product for a customer.","PeriodicalId":355706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE-2014)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123337476","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}

Allocating distributed computational resources for end-user applications is one of the most complex and challenging tasks in Grid computing. Brokers are required for submitting the jobs of the end users to accomplish their demands of resources. To allocate resources in Grid, the Grid requires the description of a framework that can permit brokers to communicate to accomplish an efficient utilization of the resources themselves. The user applications must simultaneously assure both constraints of job execution and policies that govern system usage. This paper discusses an algorithm for resource allocation for heterogeneous jobs, subject to a set of constraints. The strategy used tries to reduce the cost of the Grid users' while allocating resources to Grid users. The resource allocation strategy discussed can control the task assignment to Grid resources with the objective to minimize the execution cost of the Grid users. The technique is analytically examined to obtain results under various environment conditions.","PeriodicalId":355706,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Recent Advances and Innovations in Engineering (ICRAIE-2014)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121612501","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}
