Drones capture a variety of multimedia data. Among the multimedia data, images with overlapping regions need to be stitched to generate a panorama which would provide image data of ‘n’ number of images captured by a drone. The data captured by drones should be effectively communicated to a Ground Control Station (GCS). Hence in the research, 4 drones capture both text data and images. Each drone generates a corresponding panorama for the set of images captured by it and communicates both its text data and panorama to the GCS. 2 desktops are used for performing the experiments using client-server communication. Client desktop is used for performing simulations using AirSim simulator (which consists of 4 drones) on the Unreal Engine 4.25 platform, and generate panoramas for the set of images captured by each drone. Server desktop acting as GCS is used to accumulate text data and image data from 4 drones. Image stitching analysis has been done using 2 Python versions and Open CV versions, and 2 AirSim environments. Image stitching results were more effective with the use of Python version 3.7.1 and Open CV version 3.4.2 pair (image stitching success rate, and image stitching accuracy = 100%) when compared to that with Python version 3.9.1 and Open CV version 4.5.2 pair (image stitching success rate = 75%, image stitching accuracy = 33.33%). Both the text data and panoramas from 4 drones were successfully transmitted to the GCS.","PeriodicalId":413789,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics (DISCOVER)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132318819","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}

CKD patients are at increased risk of developing adverse effects such as anemia, bone diseases, cardiac disorders and hormonal problems. Since the loss of renal function occurs gradually and its symptoms are devoid, advanced technologies are needed to find the patterns and relationships in medical data for early diagnosis. This work aims to focus on detecting CKD from clinical data using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and comparing their findings with various machine learning algorithms. As the data available has some missing values, numerical data are imputed using k-nearest neighbor and categorical data are imputed with the most frequently occurring category. Hence, this article exposes the best method to automatically diagnose CKD from clinical data.

Many smart sensors are used to measure and identify various health indicators, however having many health monitoring equipment becomes expensive and time-consuming. The most common and fundamental health detectors required for each patient in every health care institution are temperature, humidity and heart rate. As a result, we attempted to coordinate all of these health indicators into a single health monitoring station that connects with a chosen device through WiFi. This paper proposes a method that may be used by patients friends and relatives, as well as doctors, to keep track of their health. The proposed system takes live data of patients and their environment from 5 sensors: pulse sensor, body temperature sensors, MQ-2 sensors, MQ-135 sensor and room temperature sensor. All these data are processed in ESP32 processor and the output is displayed on Blynk android application.

Video enhancement is a process of illuminating the occurrence using gentle techniques to maintain the integrity of pixel quality. The standard of the original video recording gives the success for the enhancement. The purpose of video enhancement is to refine the visual look of the video or to give an extra changed illustration for future video processing which consists of analysis, detection, segmentation, recognition, and used for surveillance and the criminal justice system. In the proposed work vehicle number plate is enhanced and recognition of a number plate is performed using Convolutional Neural Network and Support Vector Machine. There are a lot of challenges in recognizing the number plate due to the presence of blur, low-intensity, snow, rain, hit and run cases. In such a case, recognizing the vehicle number plate is challenging. So to overcome all these problems video enhancement has to be performed. The proposed work involves converting the video into image frames, pre-processing the frames and then performing enhancement, and finally recognizing the vehicle number plate using CNN and Support Vector Machine. The result analysis proves that CNN gives better classification accuracy over the Support Vector Machine model.","PeriodicalId":413789,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics (DISCOVER)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121731834","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 objective of this project was to develop a suitable instrumentation system that magnifies the plant bioelectric signals which are read at the surface of a leaf using a copper needle electrode. Further, it will also help in understanding the physiological behavior of plants which in turn may enable farmers to cultivate the plant crops in a more effective way. Copper needle electrodes were used as they are less susceptible to movement and also have less impendences compared to surface electrodes. Bioelectric potentials of the Bryophyllum plant were measured using copper needle electrodes. Bioelectric signal was amplified by an instrumentation amplifier (AD 620) and then converted to digital signal using a Data Acquisition device (DAQ) and monitored on a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO).","PeriodicalId":413789,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing, VLSI, Electrical Circuits and Robotics (DISCOVER)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126422228","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 user and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) must agree on a Service Level Agreement (SLA) to keep performance above a given threshold and maintain a certain Quality of Service (QoS) (quality of service). This SLA is enforced by the CSP, who monitors the performance of the computers and compensates the user using the logs created by the underlying machinery. Similarly, a cautious customer can keep a monitoring system in place to examine the operation of the virtualized resources assigned to them regularly. This leads to distrust between the CSP and the customer, as neither party believes the other’s monitoring system is reliable. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based which guarantees the integrity of the client’s logs and verifies the SLA violations creating a trustworthy ecosystem.
