Hence, an effective authentication mechanism that continuously authenticates users in the background is required in order to detect unauthorized access. As most access to IoT devices is achieved through end-user devices, a rich set of information can be extracted and used in the background to continuously authenticate users without requiring further user intervention. Several studies have examined mobile app usage in the broader population but failed to consider network traffic patterns during app access for user authentication. This paper presents a model to authenticate users based on the network traffic patterns of accessed apps, with an average F-measure of 95.5%. Overall, the preliminary results are promising and show the effectiveness and usability of the proposed model.","PeriodicalId":368939,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123091191","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 show that summing the outputs of multiple pathways (the decisions of several constructive kernel equations of edge detection techniques) enhances the perception of visible edges. Unlike previously published research, which has emphasized differences in the efficiencies of particular kernel equations, here we apply a linear summation of the outputs of diverse kernel equations. Despite the simplicity of this approach, our edge detection approach performs better than the individual pathways. More important, our proposed approach has biological plausibility in that human vision depends on parallel computation across diverse spatial frequency channels. We hope that this concept, along with other computational, behavioral, and neuroscientific concepts, will eventually assist in building better conscious machines.","PeriodicalId":368939,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117222346","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}

DC motor has nonlinearities like friction, backlash, dead zone that degrade the performance at low speed. Due to mechanical wear and environmental changes parameter value of DC motor get changed. Also varying loading creates change in rotor speed. This paper focused speed on control of such nonlinear model of DC motor. A nonlinear and robust sliding mode control (SMC) and linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) controllers are formulated and implemented to control speed of nonlinear DC motor. Performance of both controllers is evaluated under parameter variation and external disturbances that is varying load torque. Both controllers drive the system output to desired reference and robust against external disturbances and nonlinearities of system. But linear active disturbance rejection control is not robust against parameter variation. While sliding mode control is robust against external disturbance, model uncertainties and parameter variation and gives satisfactory results.","PeriodicalId":368939,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125255356","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}

Circle recognition is a basic and very important technology in computer vision. It has been continuously studied to improve accuracy and speed as machine vision systems are larger and larger. Circle Hough transform (CHT) is the well-known method for circle detection. However, it requires very huge memory and computing devices to handle data in circle detection. Also, it is difficult to recognize circles in real images when the perspective distortion exists. In this paper, we propose an efficient method to find circles in terms of memory and speed by searching centers and radii of circles at once using a rotational scanning method. Experiments were performed to evaluate the proposed method. The proposed method was compared with the gradient-CHT in Open CV, one of the state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results showed that the proposed method is superior to the existing method.","PeriodicalId":368939,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 9th Annual Information Technology, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (IEMCON)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126941546","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}
