Image compression is a process of reducing the size of an image without affecting the quality. Image compression reduces the size and helps in quick transportation. Digital watermarking is a process of embedding some secret data in an image for copyright protection, authentication, and channel reliability detection, done without affecting its look. In this work, vector quantization based compression technique is used. It follows LBG clustering algorithm. For watermarking, DCT-DWT based embedding and extraction technique is adopted. At first, retina image was compressed and BPP, SNR, MSE, PSNR values were compared, before and after compression. Later, a binary EPR logo image was embedded into compressed and uncompressed images. Correlation values of original watermark and extracted watermark images were computed and compared for further study.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"30 1","pages":"503-508"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90822011","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}

FADS makes use of surface pressure measurements from the nose cap of the vehicle for deriving the air data parameters of the vehicle such as angle of attack, angle of sideslip, Mach number, etc. These parameters are used by the control and guidance system of the vehicle for reentry flight management as well as for subsequent mission phases upto landing. The overall system accuracy of FADS is mainly dictated by the accuracy of the surface pressure measurements. The demanded accuracies are of the order of 100 Pascal in a full scale of 140000 Pascal (0.07% FS). This paper addresses the four split range pressure calibration scheme that is used for achieving the above accuracy. Trade off studies carried out on the number of split ranges and the order of least squares curve fit to be used are presented. The scheme for voltage based split range selection to reduce the errors at range boundary crossover points and during recovery after a port blockage is presented. Details of the hysteresis logic used for real time implementation for preventing back and forth switching of scale factors at the split range crossover points are also presented. The use of split range calibration and hysteresis logic for pressure sensors in FADS has not been reported in earlier literature. Experimental results are presented which establishes the demanded pressure measurement accuracy.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"24 1","pages":"165-170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82894527","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}

Elasticity refers to the property of a circuit in which circuits can tolerate arbitrary latency/delay variations in their computation units as well as communication channels.

This paper investigates different optimization approaches to reduce these area and power overheads of elastic control network without sacrificing the control network performance. Ultra simple fork (USFork), early evaluation join (EEJoin), half-buffer retiming (HBR) controller, eager Fork, join, lazy fork combinations for implementation are introduced. In this approach we check all node and all combinational blocks clock period and uses elastic buffer only when it needed. Comparing to published work on a Minimips processor case study[3] and Synchronous elasticization at reduced cost[2], our implementation shows up 8% and 15.08% area and power due to proposed flow of implementing synchronous elasticization with 17.5 % increase in throughput i.e. 0.94 Gbits/sec.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"7 1","pages":"917-922"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81736037","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}

A better handover mechanism plays an important role in the handover process between the vehicle nodes during the vehicles on the road. Vertical handover is very much essential to ensure service continuity in Vehicular Ad-hoc network. When we compared with conventional handover decision taken by single criteria, multi criteria decision methods reduce handover rate and effectively utilizing the usage of network resources. In Vehicular Ad-hoc Network continuous connectivity is a great challenge, because of vehicles speed and ever changing topology of the network. In VANET vehicles can communicate through Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication mode and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication mode. Users in the vehicular network can access internet while on the move from one place to another with V2I. Due to heterogeneous wireless access, vertical handover is needed to maintain continuous connectivity between the vehicles and infrastructures. In this paper advanced methods of vertical handover decision algorithm is used to select best available network by comparing multiple parameter values (such as network traffic and vehicle speed). The algorithm is evaluated by assessing the performance through the number of handoff occurs, throughput gained and level of latency attained. The performance of the simulation shows that the number of handover and latency can be minimized where as throughput can be maximized, if we consider vehicle speed and network traffic parameters for taking handover decision process.","PeriodicalId":6615,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Control, Instrumentation, Communication and Computational Technologies (ICCICCT)","volume":"30 1","pages":"1059-1064"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84443302","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}
