In this work, low-cost, portable microcontroller based electronic queue control (EQC) systems have been developed for the purpose of controlling queue in banking, hotel reservation counter, ticket counter, insurance company, customer service center etc. The aim of the designed systems is to maintain a queue with order and efficiency. Two different queue control systems have been implemented with slightly different features. In EQC system-I, a general display has been used for displaying token number and service counter number whereas in EQC system-2, each token number has been displayed individually in each service counter with separate displays. In the both systems, each customer has to collect a token and then will be served whenever the token number is displayed. The systems were designed around 8-bit PIC / 8051 microcontroller and entirely software controlled. The control programs have been developed using the PIC / 8051 Embedded C / ASM. Finally, the systems have been tested under different conditions to evaluate their performance.
As vehicle manufacturers continue to increase their emphasis on safety with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs), we propose a device that is not only already in abundance but portable enough as well to be one of the most effective multipurpose devices that are able to analyze and advise on safety conditions. Mobile smartphones today are equipped with numerous sensors that can help to aid in safety enhancements for drivers on the road. In this project, we use the accelerometer of an Android-based smartphone to record and analyze various driver behaviors and external road conditions that could potentially be hazardous to the health of the driver, the neighboring public, and the automobile. Effective use of these data can educate a potentially dangerous driver on how to safely and efficiently operate a vehicle. With real-time analysis and auditory alerts of these factors, we can increase a driver’s overall awareness to maximize safety.

As the age of the humans increase most of the people lose their eye sight nowadays, they face more problems in their daily routine life, one such example is persons with low visibility can’t operate mobiles in the emergency conditions whenever they need help from required persons, (requirement of doctor). Blinds also find problem while walking they faces problems of obstacle appearance in front of them which may be hazardous for them. It is impossible to make a blanket generalization about how the blind were treated in literature beyond that point – they were marvelous, gifted, evil, malicious, ignorant, wise, helpless, innocent, or burdensome depending upon who wrote the story – except to say that blindness is perceived to be such a loss that it leaves an indelible mark on a person’s character. To overcome these various problem faced by low sight and old aged people we have come up with an solution which helps them to walk freely and fulfill their requirements using speech reorganization and intimate to the person by text message with the area where the patient is, and calling to specified persons. This project also helps in monitoring the heart rate and body temperature smoke detection and intimation and one more added feature is sensing the darkness and illuminating the light/torch automatically.
In this project we present the design framework of a shopping assistant system to be used in supermarkets mainly by elderly or disabled people. The whole system is based on the interaction of three different kinds of electronic devices: a) mobile devices that users carry with them (smart phones or electronic tablets), b) autonomous mobile robots assisting users by displaying information and carrying groceries; and finally, c) the supermarket technological infrastructure (database servers, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth access points, etc.). These components interact through a common technological platform, allowing the user to prepare his/her shopping list, and then using it with the robot as an assistant, during his/her shopping process
Remotely Enabled Electronic Digital Tele voting Machine is a new concept upgraded after Normal voting machine. TO accomplish this there must be a system which senses the telephone call. After sensing the call the unit must enable our circuit to watch the activities done on the phone (Cell phone also) Like what number has been pressed. Since IVRS is emerging as an interactive system for users it makes voting easy and safe. We can get an immediate voice Feedback. Using this project we can use our normal telephone as a vote casting machine. To cast a vote the user must first press a telephone number and wait for that to be connected. Then he will be asked to enter his code number first. He must enter a unique code first to ensure that he is a valid person to vote or not. After confirmation he will be given choices to cast his vote (1 – BJB, 2 – Congress, 3 - Others). Then the user must enter a valid choice to cast his vote. Then he can disconnect that line by pressing # key in the telephone or cell phone. Once the user has made a vote, he is not allowed to vote again and the details like Counting the vote for candidates can be immediately viewed on the computer screen and as well as in the Seven Segment Display / LCD also. A Led Indication is also given in GREEN and RED, whether the User has given a valid Vote or not
The objective of voting is to allow voters to exercise their right to express their choices regarding specific issues, pieces of legislation, citizen initiatives, constitutional amendments, recalls and/or to choose their government and political representatives. Technology is being used more and more as a tool to assist voters to cast their votes. To allow the exercise of this right, almost all voting systems around the world include the following steps: · voter identification and authentication · voting and recording of votes cast · vote counting · publication of election results
Secured wireless data communication is one of the prime concerns in these days in many fields. Most important data and confidential information have to be transmitted more secretly that only the concerned receiver can understand that. So the data is encrypted and sent. If any unauthorized user tries to know that information, he/she cannot do that as it is being encrypted by using a key and the corresponding algorithm. The encrypted data is called “Cipher text”. This cipher text is being sent to the concerned receiver along with the key and algorithm, so that he/she can decrypt that and know the actual information. Most of the times the data is being sent in such a way that an unauthorized user cannot find out whether the data is being sent or not. It is sent along with the noise signal by using digital communication techniques for more protection. This project is used to communicate or transmit a text message from one place to another place through wireless (RF). The text message is encrypted by using the Microcontroller and the encrypted message is transmitted through wireless. At the receiver end, the signal is received by the standard receiver and the digital signal is fed to the Microcontroller and it is decrypted by the Microcontroller and the message is displayed over the LCD display. The Microcontroller is used to do the above work. It gets data from the keyboard and encrypts with a private algorithm and at the receiver end the Microcontroller decrypts it with the same algorithm and display the data over the LCD display. “Monoalphabetic Substitution Algorithm” or “Polyalphabetic Substitution Algorithm” is used for encrypting and for decrypting the data. In future We can use several receivers and the message from the transmitter can be sent to all the receivers at the same time. Each receiver can be accessed separately by its address.
Vehicles have become an integral part of every one's life. Situations and circumstances demand the usage of vehicles in this fast paced urban life. As a coin has two sides, this has its own effects, one of the main side effects being air pollution. Every vehicle will have emission but the problem occurs when it is beyond the standardized values. The primary reason for this breach of emission level being the incomplete combustion of fuel supplied to engine, which is due to the improper maintenance of vehicles. This emission from vehicles cannot be completely avoided but, it definitely can be controlled. With the evolvement of semi-conductor sensors for detecting the various gases, this project aims at using those semi-conductor sensors at the emission outlets of vehicles which detects the level of pollutants and also indicates this level with a meter / LCD. When the pollution/ emission level shoots beyond the already set threshold level, there will be a buzz in the vehicle to indicate that the limit has been breached and the vehicle will stop after a certain period of time , a cushion time given for the driver to park his/her vehicle. During this time period, the GPS starts locating the nearest service stations. After the timer runs out, the fuel supplied to the engine will be cut-off and the vehicle has to be towed to the mechanic or to the nearest service station. The synchronization and execution of the entire process is monitored and controlled by a micro controller. This project, when augmented as a real time project, will benefit the society and help in reducing the air pollution.

The software of User friendly interface will have the functionality plus online display of received data also the possibility of storing and reporting data rates of vibration and temperature obtained during monitoring. Finally featuring the prototype of the hardware and software as well as some results obtained in experimental scale.
Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems in modern urban areas, which have caused much frustration and loss of man hours. Approach: In order to solve the problem an intelligent RFID traffic control has been developed. It has circumvented or avoided the problems that usually arise with systems such as those, which use image processing and beam interruption techniques. RFID technology with appropriate algorithm and data base were applied to a multi vehicle, multi lane and multi road junction area to provide an efficient time management scheme. A dynamic time schedule was worked out for the passage of each column. RFID together with Internet and GSM technologies are anticipated to create a revolution in traffic management and control systems. The data base contains online statistical information, which can be used by operators and planners to develop better models in the future.

The experimental results show that the maximum output load current is 50mA and the regulated output voltage is 2.8V.The regulator provides a full load transient response with less than 5mV overshoots and undershoots. The active layout area is 358.28um × 243.30um.
The aim of this project is to develop a low cost single cell isolation system incorporating a digital versatile disc burner (DVD RW) optical pickup. Single cell isolation system or optical tweezers as they are popularly called are used in various fields from medicine to research to isolate, manipulate and study a particular cell without physically touching it. They are extensively used in cell sorting and to characterize molecular motors; used to probe the cytoskeleton; to measure the visco-elastic properties of biopolymer and to study cell motility. In conventional setups, sophisticated equipment and elaborate design are used to achieve satisfactory results. However, DVD RW optical pickups are readily available modules which contain the required laser power and the focusing optics to provide a steady Gaussian beam capable of optically trapping micron sized colloids and red blood cells (RBC's). Utility of the pickup will be demonstrated through the non-destructive isolation and maneuvering of such particles in a static colloidal mixture. The integrated objective lens focusing coils are used to steer the optical trap across the sample, resulting in the isolation of colloids using a very inexpensive off the shelf optical component. With the use of a simple microscope, optical pickup and CCD video camera, the result can be verified. Later, the video camera can be substituted with a position detector to further reduce the cost and make the arrangement easier to construct and simpler to use.
Vote casting is the right of every citizen. But Now-a- days it become obscure because of fretful, counterfeit and fake voters.

The vote shedding using EMP card provides the voting ease, simple and safe worthy. We get an immediate feedback response as soon as our vote is registered. The response will be given through LED and LCD display. The Main leads of this project are Trouble free, Safe Security and Inexpensive.
Probably one of the most interesting technologies in industry today is the wireless technology. This statement is not founded on the “latest and greatest” in communications break through. All too often we hear how evolving technology will unshackle us from the traditional “pairs of wires” which provide our present day communication. Wireless however has been around for decades in variations and techniques. Only recently have newer applications breathed life back into mundane services, sparking international interest in the applications, bandwidths and legality of wireless communication. Today everyone is buzzing about the future of the wireless world and our abilities to communicate in general. This project deals with the DRL (Day Time Running Lamp) voice communication. DRL communication links are used. Visible light communication (VLC) is a data communications medium using visible light between 400 THz (780 nm) and 800 THz (375 nm). Visible light is not injurious to vision. The technology uses fluorescent lamps (ordinary lamps, not special communications devices) to transmit signals at 10 Kbit/s, or LEDs for up to 500 Mbit/s. Low rate data transmissions at 200 metre and .5 kilometres were demonstrated. RONJA achieves full Ethernet speed (10 M bit/s) over the same distance thanks to larger optics and more powerful LEDs.
The invention of the semiconductor devices in the beginning of the 20th century ushered in a revolution in electronics. Technical feats previously requiring relatively large mechanically fragile, power hungry vacuum tubes were suddenly achievable with tiny, mechanically rugged, power-thirsty specks of crystalline silicon. This revolution made possible the design and manufacture of lightweight, inexpensive electronic devices that we now take for granted. The truly incredible changes in the solid state technology associated with electronics over the past three decades have certainly been the driving force for most of the growth in the field of electrical engineering.

Short for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, an FDM modulation technique for transmitting large amounts of digital data over a radio wave. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk in signal transmissions Need: The need for this project arises when we want the data communication to be protected from others. This is highly essential in the military field and especially during war times. Because during war periods when a particular army wants to send a message to remotely located units, which belong to the same army, in between any person can trap the data when it is transmitted through wireless. Our aim of the project is to accomplish this; we have used a PC as a sender and PIC /8051 microcontroller as a receiver station. The message to be sent is fed in to the computer for different units. The computer will Encrypt the data using generating a duplicate Character for a real one. At the receiving end the PIC/8051 microcontroller then Decrypts the Received data and displays the message on the display. The communication takes place through a Wireless RF Transmitter and Receiver operating at 433.92 MHz To ensure the security level at the receiving end we have a password protection. Once the Message is received the unit will give an

Nowadays Advertisement is necessary for any of the product to come out as a successful product. Advertisement involves several ways such as Ads, Posters, thro media like TV, Radio and now even thro SMS Messages in cell phones etc. Here is another way where we can advertise a product and by the same time we get the feedback regarding it. This is done with the help of the embedded system. A call is made to a phone number with the help of a dialer circuit and once the call is made a prerecorded message is played for few minutes. If the user is interested in the advertisement he will be listening to it for a greater amount of time and if he is not, he will disconnect the call. Software loaded in the computer is able to generate the reports according to the duration of thecalls, which can be converted to sales.
We have Designed a system which comprises of essential hardware and software for monitoring the parameters through wireless Communication. To control the temperature of the air adjacent an infant in an incubator, is to circulate the air within an incubator with a blower driven by a motor and to vary the blower speed based on the temperature of the air within the incubator. Thermistor for sensing air temperature and motor controllers are known and have been used to control the temperature of the air adjacent an infant in an incubator and to reduce the blower speed and thereby the associated noise in the enclosure. It is also necessary to monitor the CO2 Level in the incubator Frequently, so that if the CO2 Level increases, In such a case, an oxygen valve is also actuated, for the infant to breathe properly. We have to attach transducers to infants in an incubator to directly measure the infant’s temperature, respiration rate, pulse, and other physiological parameters and sent to a remote computer through wireless for processing the data. Sensors Involved inMeasurement: 1. Co2Sensor 2. Thermistor 3. Heart BeatSensor
While quantitative information on global solar radiation and other environmental parameters is needed in many studies such as meteorology and the design of solar systems, it is difficult to obtain these data in remote areas where relevant data are required. This is mainly because such studies cover wide areas and also generate large amounts of data, such that the efficient acquisition, management and analysis of the data become tedious, time consuming and above all expensive. Given the labor intensiveness of this procedure and the potential for transcription errors, it is important to computerize the acquisition of data, data-file creation and analysis of the data. Hence a low-cost battery operated microcontroller-based data acquisition system that runs unattended was developed and applied to continuously monitor solar radiation on a horizontal surface. Monitoring as described herein deals with collection, recordingandtransmissionofthemeasureddatatothecomputerforarchivalstorageandoff-siteanalysisofthedataacquisition system performance.
Controller Area Network (CAN or CAN-bus) is a bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other without a host computer. CAN is a message-based protocol, designed specifically for automotive applications, now also used in other areas such as industrial automation and medical equipment. CAN protocol is a message-based protocol, not an address based protocol. An advantage of the message based protocol approach is that, all the nodes in the network need not be reprogrammed when a new node is added. Only the new node is programmed to receive specific messages depending on the ID. The purpose of the project is to study and implement Multi master serial bus communication using CAN. The communication takes place between two or more nodes (microcontrollers). And one of the nodes is connected to a personal computer, where the user can monitor functions of different nodes according to the environment where they are adapted. Multi master communication is chosen so that any of the nodes in the network can initiate communication. In case of simultaneous communication scenario, CAN bus is arbitrated depending on the message ID. This makes provision to assign priorities to the messages depending on their importance.

Existing System: The Black Box The Black Box in the cockpit is only been elemental in recording the audio part, happening in cockpit and apparently the control station at the ATC obtains the deferred data as explained by Pilot and thus there is no automated system to obtain the instantaneous reports happening there. Moreover if the Pilot the asks for the replay of the process that had gone through, in his past-journey span while on-board and still at traveling, it’s not possible for the Base Station to relay the Replay of the information. Proposed System: Here we propose a system of automated information to be available to the Base, and also the instantaneous Relay of the Alert Levels and the Replay of the course of journey, the pilot had covered till the time back to him. Implementation: We split the project into 3 parts: • The Pilot’sside. • The External Hardwareimplementation. • The Control Base at ATC (Air-TrafficController).
This Project is used in Bottling Plants like Coca-Cola, Pepsi etc to fill the Beverages into the bottle automatically. The empty bottles are moved in the conveyor Belt and with the help of proximity sensors we can detect the position and stop the movement of the belt. Then a relay is energized to actuate the flow of Liquid. The flow is stopped when a maximum level is detected through another sensor. After filling the conveyor movement starts again and this process getsrepeated. In this project we can have Fire protection system (i.e.) when any fire accident is detected in that area immediately a relay is energized to pour the water on fire to put off the fire.

This project presents a system for detection and classification of power quality (PQ) voltage disturbances. The proposed system applies the following methods to detect and classify PQ disturbances: digital filtering and mathematical morphology are used to detect and classify transients and waveform distortions, whereas for short- and long-duration disturbances (such as sags, swells, and interruptions), the analysis of the root-mean-square (RMS) value of the voltage is employed. The proposed combined approach identifies the type of disturbance and its parameters such as time localization, duration, and magnitude. The proposed system is suitable for real-time monitoring of the power system and implementation on a digital signal processor(DSP).
These quadriplegic patients are suffering with many problems such as the person cannot walk himself and cannot be able to do his work with his own. In some cases the patient suffering from quadriplegia could not even speak. To help these Quadriplegic patients to communicate we wish to propose a new mechanism where they will be able to communicate to anyone by various types of head movements as that is the only controllable part in their body. Paralyzed stroke patients are unable to normally communicate with their environment. For these patients, the only part of their body that is under their control, in terms of muscular movement, is their head. Some research in this area has focused on investigating new efficient communication tools for paralyzed patients for translating their head movements into appropriate communication messages. The main aim of this project is to present the design and application of an accelerometer based efficient human computer interface (HCI).

MPPT is not a mechanical tracking systemthat“physicallymoves”themodulestomakethempointmoredirectlyatthesun.MPPTisafullyelectronicsystemthat varies the electrical operating point of the modules so that the modules are able to deliver maximum availablepower. The main controlling device of the whole system is a Microcontroller. Solar panel, voltage sensor, LCD, and load are interfaced to Microcontroller. The Microcontroller initially measures the voltage from solar panel without load connected. Also, the Microcontroller measures the voltage from solar panel under load conditions. The microcontroller takes the decision of operating the load through PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) until the maximum voltage is obtained from solar panel without degrading the load performance. To perform this intelligent task, Microcontroller is loaded with an intelligent program written using embedded ‘C’ language.
In wireless transmission of ECG, data latency will be significant when battery power level and data transmission distance are not maintained. In applications like home monitoring or personalized care, to overcome the joint effect of previous issues of wireless transmission and other ECG measurement noises, a novel filtering strategy is required. Here, a novel algorithm, identified as peak rejection adaptive sampling modified moving average (PRASMMA) algorithm for wireless ECG is introduced. This algorithm first removes error in bit pattern of received data if occurred in wireless transmission and then removes baseline drift. Afterward, a modified moving average is implemented except in the region of each QRS complexes. The algorithm also sets its filtering parameters according to different sampling rate selected for acquisition of signals. To demonstrate the work, a prototyped Bluetooth-based ECG module is used to capture ECG with different sampling rate and in different position of patient. This module transmits ECG wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled devices where the PRASMMA algorithm is applied on captured ECG. The performance of PRASMMA algorithm is compared with moving average and S-Golay algorithms visually as well as numerically. The results show that the PRASMMA algorithm can significantly improve the ECG reconstruction by efficiently removing the noise and its use can be extended to any parameters where peaks are importance for diagnostic purpose

Ambient intelligence (AmI) considers responsive environments in which applications and services adapt their behavior according to the user’s needs and changing context. One of the most challenging aspects for many applications in AmI environments is location and orientation of the surrounding objects. This is especially important for effective cooperation among mobile physical objects in such smart environments. In this paper, we propose a robust indoor positioning system that provides 2-D positioning and orientation information for mobile objects. The system utilizes low-range passive radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The proposed system, which consists of RFID carpets and several peripherals for sensor data interpretation, is implemented and tested through extensive experiments. Our results show that the proposed system outperforms similar existing systems in minimizing the average positioning error.

In fact, existing case studies show that RTLS can improve service quality and safety, and optimize emergency management and time critical processes. In this project, we propose a robust system for position and orientation determination of equipment. Our system utilizes passive (RFID) technology mounted on flooring plates and several peripherals for sensor data interpretation. The system is implemented and tested through extensive experiments. The results show that our system’s average positioning and orientation measurement outperforms existing systems in terms of accuracy.
However, the huge number of cars raises problems of its own; there are more and more car thefts, lost and violations of rules which are given serious attentions. The time which is spent on checking on the roads by the department of traffic charge, check and police has been taken too much. Meanwhile, vehicles overload problem is getting worse around the country. Because of the merits of high capacity, large services and economy, public buses have become the main means of urban traffic.

Renewable energy solutions are becoming increasingly popular. Photovoltaic (solar) systems are but one example. Maximizing power output from a solar system is desirable to increase efficiency. In order to maximize power output from solar panels, one needs to keep the panels aligned with the sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required. This is definitely a more cost effective solution than purchasing additional solar panels. It has been estimated that the yield from solar panels can be increased by 30 to 60 percent by utilizing a tracking system instead of a stationary array. In this project, a prototype for a microcontroller- based multi-function solar tracking system is described, which will keep the solar panels aligned with the sun in order to maximize efficiency. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) data can be transmitted in real time to other solar systems in need of this data.

Our work aims at the unification of the three mentioned possibilities, creating an intelligent lamp post managed by a remote- controlled system which uses LED-based light sources and is powered by renewable energy (solar panel and battery). The first one, and perhaps the most intuitive, is the use of new technologies for the sources of light. In this area, light-emitting diode (LED) technology is the best solution because it offers any benefits. Researchers have already considered this possibility, designing an advanced street lighting system based on LEDs. The second possible solution, and perhaps the most revolutionary, is the use of a remote-control system based on intelligent lamp posts that send information to a central control system, thus simplifying management and maintenance issues. Researchers have developed a street lamp system using the general-packet radio service (GPRS), power-line carrier, or Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) transmissions. Finally, the third possibility would be the use of renewable energy sources locally available, rather than conventional power sources, with a positive effect on the environment. Solar energy is the most important resource in this field.

The interest of this robotic system lies in the design concept, based on a smart host microcontroller. On this basis, our proposal makes a twofold significant contribution. On the one hand, it presents the construction of a solar tracking mechanism aimed at increasing the rover’s power regardless of its mobility. On the other hand, it proposes an alternative design of power system performance based on a pack of two batteries. The aim is completing the process of charging a battery independently while the other battery provides all the energy consumed by the robotic vehicle.
The project proposes an innovative design to develop a system based on PIC/8051 micro controller that is used for monitoring the voltage, current and temperature of a distribution transformer in a substation and to protect the system from the rise in mentioned parameters. Providing the protection to the distribution transformer can be accomplished by shutting down the entire unit with the aid of the Radio frequency Communication. Moreover the system displays the same on a PC at the main station which is at a remote place. Furthermore it is capable of recognizing the break downs caused due to overload, high temperature and over voltage. The design generally consists of two units, one in the substation unit, called as transmitter and display unit, and another in the Main station called as controlling unit. The transmitter and the display units in the substation is where the voltage, current and temperature are monitored continuously by PIC/8051 microcontroller and is displayed through the display unit. An RF transmitter is used for transmitting the signals that are obtained. The controlling unit in the main station by means of a PC and a RF receiver receives the RF signals that are transmitted by the Transmitter unit and reacts in accordance to the received signal. In general, the proposed design is developed for the user to easily recognize the distribution transformer that is suffered by any open or short circuit and rise in temperatures. The ultimate objective is to monitor the electrical parameters continuously and hence to guard the burning of distribution transformer or power transformer due to the constraints such as overload, over temperature and input high voltage. If any of these values increases beyond the limit then the entire unit is shut down by the designed controlling unit

This paper evaluates the development of a Low-cost security system using small PIR (Pyroelectric Infrared) sensor built around a microcontroller. The low-power PIR detectors take advantage of pyroelectricity to detect a human body that is a constant source of Passive Infrared (radiation in the infrared region). The system senses the signal generated by PIR sensor detecting the presence of individuals not at thermal equilibrium with the surrounding environment. Detecting the presence of any unauthorized person in any specific time interval, it triggers an alarm & sets up a call to a predefined number through a GSM modem. This highly reactive approach has low computational requirement, therefore it is well-suited to surveillance, industrial applications and smart environments. Tests performed gave promising results.
The reason for developing these kinds of vehicles is; if a “robot” or “machine” can do something a soldier can do, then there’s no reason to put the soldier into battle. Here’s a situation where tech kills and saves lives at the same time. The vehicle will cut down on deaths and casualties in the war. Even if the autonomous military vehicle (UGCV) replaces a soldier, it must have an extraordinary capability to surmount terrain obstacles as well as survive and recover from impacts with obstacles and unpredictable terrain. They must also be fuel efficient and highly reliable so that they can conduct long missions with minimal logistical support.

Image quality (PSNR) is almost the same or better as compared to that of the above mentioned compression techniques.
Canny edge detector is a complex but accurate detector as compared to Marr-Hilderth detector. And it is based on these 3 following objectives: • Low Error Rate: Its says that all edges should be found and these detected edges should be as much close to true edges as possible • Edge points should be well localized: It states that the edges located should be as close to true edges as possible. In other words, the distance between a point detected or marked as an edge by canny detector and the center of the true edge should be minimum. • Single Edge Point Response: The detector must output one edge point for each true edge point.
Mass events are always and have been popular in all over the world. Such mass events are sports events, music festivals and concerts etc. In such mass events numbers of visitors are more and safety measures are more and more important. In such mass gatherings the density of the mass becomes high. Due to the high density the crowd members lose their individual control and they move involuntarily. People moving involuntarily induce sudden movement of people nearby. These crowd turbulences propagate through the crowd causing people to stumble and fall down. Crowd turbulence is an unanticipated and unintended irregular motion of individuals into different directions due to strong and rapidly changing forces in crowds of extreme density [2]. As a result, most people die by suffocating due to dangerous pressure of up to 4500 N/m on their chests. This system helps to prevent such crowd disasters.It is the system for the detection and early warning of uncontrolled situations during mass events.
The purpose of this study is to detect drowsiness in drivers to prevent accidents and to improve safety on the highways. A method for detecting drowsiness/sleepiness in drivers is developed by using a camera that point directly towards the driver’s face and capture for the video. Once the video is captured, monitoring the face region and eyes in order to detect drowsy/fatigue. The system able to monitoring eyes and determines whether the eyes are in an open position or closed state. In such a case when drowsy is detected, a warning signal is issued to alert the driver. It can determine a time proportion of eye closure as the proportion of a time interval that the eye is in the closed position. If the driver’s eyes are closed cumulatively more than a standard value, the system draws the conclusion that the driver is falling asleep, and then it will activate an alarm sound to alert the driver

Counterfeit money is imitation currency produced without the legal sanction of the state or government. Producing or using this fake money is a form of fraud or forgery. Counterfeiting is as old as money itself, and is sufficiently prevalent throughout history that it has been called "the world's second oldest profession. This has led to the increase of corruption in our country hindering country’s growth. Common man became a scapegoat for the fake currency circulation, let us suppose that a common man went o a bank to deposit money in bank but only to see that some of the notes are fake, in this case he has to take the blame. Counterfeiting, of whatever kind, may be that has been occurring ever since humans grasped the concept of valuable items, and there has been an ongoing race between certifier like (banks, for example) and counterfeiter ever since. Some of the effects that counterfeit money has on society include a reduction in the value of real money; and inflation due to more money getting circulated in the society or economy which in turn dampen our economy and growth - an unauthorized artificial increase in the money supply; a decrease in the acceptability of project money; and loses. And this Some of the methods to detect fake currency are water marking, optically variable ink, security thread, latent image, techniques like counterfeit detection pen and using MATLAB. .
Iris recognition with Matlab is nowadays getting popular because of the efficient programming language. Since Matlab is a fourth-generation language that allows developers to create interfaces for graphics and optical scanners as well, iris recognition with Matlab becomes easier and accurate without any complexities. Many developers now prefer iris recognition with Matlab for testing purposes, before the final iris recognition system is released in the market. The reason behind testing the iris recognition with Matlab is that the final outputs are real-time, hence allow developers to assess the reliability of this latest and more advanced biometric recognition system called iris recognition with Matlab. A biometric system provides automatic identification of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by the individual. Iris recognition is regarded as the most reliable and accurate biometric identification system available. Most commercial iris recognition systems use patented algorithms developed by Daugman, and these algorithms are able to produce perfect recognition rates. However, published results have usually been produced under favorable conditions, and there have been no independent trials of the technology.
The use of high-efficiency LEDs in low-power lighting applications is growing continuously due to new advances in LED features. The lifetime of a low-power fluorescent lamp is around 5000 h. This implies short lamp-replacement times and high maintenance costs. The use of high-efficiency LEDs reduces drastically the maintenance costs due to the long lifetime (>50 000 h). One of the applications where using LED is very interesting is permanent emergency light systems. Generally, these circuits are based on a two-stage design, using two magnetic cores. This project presents offline power LED driver and battery charger integrated in one magnetic core topology. Besides, the converter allows driving the LEDs in case of a line failure and it complies with the IEC 61000-3-2 Class C Standard.
This project describes a target detection system on road environments based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) and monocular vision. The final goal is to provide pedestrian-to-car and car-to-car time gap. The challenge is to use a single camera as input, in order to achieve a low cost final system that meets the requirements needed to undertake serial production in automotive industry. The basic feature of the detected objects are first located in the image using vision and then combined with a SVM based classifier. An intelligent learning approach is proposed in order to better deal with objects variability, illumination conditions, partial occlusions and rotations
Early warning systems are critical in providing emergency response in the event of unexpected hazards. Cheap cameras and improvements in memory and computing power have enabled the design of fire detectors using video surveillance systems. This is critical in scenarios where traditional smoke detectors cannot be installed. In such scenarios, it has been observed that the smoke is visible well before flames can be sighted. A novel method for smoke characterization using wavelets and support vector machines is proposed in this project. Forest fire, tunnel fire and news channel videos have been used for testing the proposed method. The results are impressive with limited false alarms. The proposed algorithm is evaluated for its characterization properties using motion segmented images from a commercial surveillance system with good results.
With the developing of urbanization, as well as the significant increasing of automobile in city, the phenomenon of traffic jam has occurred frequently. As a result, municipal administration has widened the city's trunk line, the traffic management bureau has increased traffic lights at crossroads, but we could not see much great change in city traffic condition. These measures, for instance, how to make use of existing urban roads more effectively, how to regulate the time of the traffic lights, and how to use the minimum investment to ease the city's jam, possess realistic significance. The primary goal of this project based on the optimization of phase and time of traffic lights is to achieve the optimal research on both sides not only “Green light wave band” but also “Inverse green light wave band”, and simulates optimization of going through inverse green light wave band by using the software of MATLAB according to the constraint discriminate of bi-directional green light wave band what we calculated in the project.
In this project a comprehensive approach to traffic sign detection and recognition is proposed. An RGB roadside image is acquired. Color filtering and segmentation is used to detect the boundary of traffic sign in binary mode. At the feature extraction stage, the RGB traffic sign region is cropped. The image is resized to 100x100 pixels. Finally, particle swarm optimization is used to identify the traffic sign. Experimental results show that our system can give a high recognition rate for all types of traffic signs used in Thailand: namely, prohibitory signs (red or blue), general warning signs (yellow) and construction are a warning signs (amber).
At present, the traffic engineering and automation have developed, and the vehicle license plate recognition technology need get a corresponding improvement also. In case of identifying a car license picture, the principle of automatic license plate recognition is illustrated in this project, and the processing is described in detail which includes the preprocessing, the edge extraction, the license plate location, the character segmentation, the character recognition. The program implementing recognition is edited by Matlab. The example result shows that the recognition method is feasible, and it can be put into practice.
Information Technology advances have bought forth new challenges in healthcare information management, due to the vast amount of medical data that needs to efficiently stored, retrieved and distributed, and the increased security threats that explicitly have to be addressed. In particular, embedding patient information into a medical image through data hiding could improve the level of security and confidentiality that is essential for diffusion of medical information system. Such security provides integrity of medical images and corresponding documentations, along with protection of confidential information. The scheme imperceptibly embeds in medical images patient’s personal information like name and unique identification number. Our objective was to have a simple model which uses minimal resources and hence a strong candidate for use in mobile healthcare applications where the resources of memory, computation and connectivity are extremely limited. To meet these requirements, this project presents a powerful yet simple lossless scheme for the medical image processing. The method is distortion-tolerant in application. The original image can be recovered with almost no distortion. The scheme has been implemented for images of various sizes and a comparative study is presented.
Satellite images are being used in many fields of research. One of the major issues of these types of images is their resolution. In this project, we propose a new satellite image resolution enhancement technique based on the interpolation of the high-frequency sub bands obtained by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the input image. The proposed resolution enhancement technique uses DWT to decompose the input image into different sub bands. Then, the high-frequency sub band images and the input low-resolution image have been interpolated, followed by combining all these images to generate a new resolution-enhanced image by using inverse DWT. In order to achieve a sharper image, an intermediate stage for estimating the high-frequency sub bands has been proposed. The proposed technique has been tested on satellite benchmark images. The quantitative (peak signal- to-noise ratio and root mean square error) and visual results show the superiority of the proposed technique over the conventional and state-of-art image resolution enhancement techniques.
The proliferation of digitized media due to the rapid growth of networked multimedia systems has created an urgent need for copyright enforcement technologies that can protect copyright ownership of multimedia objects. Digital image watermarking is one such technology that has been developed to protect digital images from illegal manipulations. In particular, digital image watermarking algorithms which are based on the discrete wavelet transform have been widely recognized to be more prevalent than others. This is due to the wavelets excellent spatial localization, frequency spread, and multi-resolution characteristics, which are similar to the theoretical models of the human visual system. In this project, we describe an imperceptible and a robust combined DWT-DCT digital image watermarking algorithm. The algorithm watermarks a given digital image using a combination of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). Performance evaluation results show that combining the two transforms improved the performance of the watermarking algorithms that are based solely on the DWT transform.
This project, presents a new Speed Detection Camera System (SDCS) that is applicable as a radar alternative. SDCS uses several image processing techniques on video stream in online -captured from single camera- or offline mode, which makes SDCS capable of calculating the speed of moving objects avoiding the traditional radars problems. SDCS offers an-expensive alternative to traditional radars with the same accuracy or even better. SDCS processes can be divided into four successive phases; first phase is Objects detection phase. Which uses a hybrid algorithm based on combining an adaptive background subtraction technique with a three-frame differencing algorithm which ratifies the major drawback of using only adaptive background subtraction? The second phase is Objects tracking, which consists of three successive operations, object segmentation, Object labeling, and Object canter extraction. Objects tracking operation takes into consideration the different possible scenarios of the moving object like; Simple tracking, object has left the scene, object has entered the scene, object cross by another object, and object leaves and another one enters the scene. Third phase is speed calculation phase, which is calculated from the number of frames consumed by the object to pass-by the scene. The final phase is Capturing Objects Picture phase, which captures the image of objects that violate the speed limits. SDCS is implemented and tested in many experiments; it proved to have achieved a satisfactory performance.
The Visual Cryptography Scheme (VCS) is a secure method that encrypts a secret image by breaking it into shares. A distinctive property of VCS is that one can visually decode the secret image by superimposing shares without computation. The project presents an approach for embedding visual cryptographically generated image shares in the host images to provide authentication for the VC shares and makes these secret shares invisible by embedding them into host images. The secret shares generated from VC encryption are watermarked into some host images using digital watermarking. Digital watermarking is used for providing the double security of image shares. The share is embedded into the host image in frequency domain using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT). In frequency domain, the obtained marked image must be less distorted when compared to the original image. Thus secret shares are not available for any alteration by the adversaries who try to create fake shares. Every pixel of the binary VC share is invisibly embedded into the individual block of the host image. The process of watermark extraction necessitates only the watermarked image and it does not require the original host image. The scheme provides more secure and meaningful secret shares that are robust against a number of attacks like blurring, sharpening, motion blurring etc.
Face recognition has long been a goal of computer vision, but only in recent years reliable automated face recognition has become a realistic target of biometrics research. New algorithms, and developments spurred by falling costs of cameras and by the increasing availability processing power have led to practical face recognition systems. These systems are increasingly being deployed in a wide range of practical applications, and future improvements promise to spread the use of face recognition further still. In this chapter, were view the field of face Recognition, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses and describe the applications where the technology is currently being deployed and where it shows future potential. We describe the IBM face recognition system and some of its application domains.
Diabetic-related eye disease is a major cause of preventable blindness in the world. It is a complication of diabetes which can also affect various parts of the body. When the small blood vessels have a high level of glucose in the retina, the vision will be blurred and can cause blindness eventually. This is known as diabetic retinopathy. Regular screening is essential in order detect the early stages of diabetic retinopathy for timely treatment to prevent or delay further deterioration. This project detects the presences of abnormalities in the retina such as the structure of blood vessels, micro aneurysms, exudates and texture properties using image processing techniques. These features are input into artificial neural network for automatic detection and can quickly process a large number of funds images obtained from mass screening to help reduce the cost and increase productivity and efficiency for ophthalmologists.
Wavelets are mathematical functions that cut up data into different frequency components, and then study each component with a resolution matched to its scale. Wavelet algorithms process data at different scales or resolutions. Image fusion is processing of images about a given region so that the resultant image is more reliable, clear and more intelligible. To obtain a two-dimensional wavelet transform, one-dimensional transform is applied first along the rows and then along the columns to produce four sub bands: low-resolution, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. (The vertical sub band is created by applying a horizontal high-pass, which yields vertical edges.). At each level, the wavelet transform can be re-applied to the low Resolution sub band to further decor relate the image. . Wavelet transform is first performed on each source images. The fused wavelet coefficient map can be constructed from the wavelet coefficients of the source images according to the fusion decision map. Finally the fused image is obtained by performing the inverse wavelet transform.
Steganography is usually confused with cryptography. While related in many aspects, Steganography and cryptography are not the same. The existence of a cryptographic message can easily be noticed by a casual observer as the messages are scrambled to hide the original content. Whereas, Steganography hides the original message in other innocent messages to protect the information from prying eyes. The existence of the hidden message is not obvious to an ordinary observer and cannot be detected by naked eye in most cases.
The need to use radar systems is growing in importance. This is not only for military applications but also for civilian applications. The latter includes (but not limited to) monitoring speeds of vehicles on high ways, sport competitions, aeroplanes, etc. The spread of use of radar systems is affected negatively with the high cost of radar systems and also with the increasing requirements on the accuracy of the outputs. This motivated the research on alternative technologies that offer both higher accuracy and be more cost effective. The field of image processing has grown considerably during the past decade. This has been driven by 1) the increased utilization of imagery in myriad applications, coupled with 2) improvements in the size, speed and cost effectiveness of digital computers and related signal processing technologies. Image processing has found a significant role in scientific, industrial, space and government applications. Many systems nowadays can be replaced by image processing alternate systems that perform better than the former systems. An SDCS system is one of these systems that can replace traditional radars. An SDCS system is applicable as an alternative to current radar systems. This is better cost effective system than current ones. It also has accurate outputs as traditional radars or even better. SDCS system can be integrated with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system to form a complete radar system. ANPR system is a mass surveillance method that uses optical character recognition on images to read the license plates on vehicles.
The rapid development of data transfer through internet made it easier to send the data accurate and faster to the destination. One of the most important factors of information technology and communication has been the security of the information. For security purpose the concept of Steganography is being used. Steganography is art and science of invisible communication. Our project deals with image Steganography. Various Steganography algorithms like Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm, Jsteg and F5 algorithms, out of these we are using LSB algorithm. Steganography is the method through which existence of the message can be kept secret. This is accomplished through hiding information in information, thus hiding the existence of the communicated information. This project gives a brief idea about the image Steganography that make use of Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm for hiding the data into image which is implemented through the Microsoft .NET framework
Biometrics offers greater security and convenience than traditional methods of person authentication. Multi biometrics has recently emerged as a means of more robust and efficient person authentication scheme. Exploiting information from multiple biometric features improves the performance and also robustness of person authentication. The objective of this project is to develop a robust bimodal biometric person authentication system using speech and signature biometric features. Speaker based unimodal system is developed by extracting Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Wavelet Octave Coefficients of Residues (WOCOR) as feature vectors. The MFCCs and WOCORs from the training data are modeled using Vector Quantization (VQ) and Gaussian Mixture Modeling (GMM) techniques. Signature based unimodal system is developed by using Vertical Projection Profile (VPP), Horizontal Projection Profile (HPP) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) as features. A bimodal biometric person authentication system is then built using these two unimodal systems. Experimental results show that the bimodal person authentication system provides higher performance compared with the unimodal systems. The bimodal system is finally evaluated for its robustness using the noisy data and also data collected from the real environments. The robustness of the bimodal system is more compared to the unimodal person authentication systems.
Image matching is a fundamental aspect of many problems in computer vision, including object or scene recognition, solving for 3D structure from multiple images, stereo correspondence, and motion tracking. This project describes image features that have many properties that make them suitable for matching differing images of an object or scene. The features are invariant to image scaling and rotation, and partially invariant to change in illumination and 3D camera viewpoint. The features that are highly distinctive are called key points, in the sense that a single feature can be correctly matched with high probability against a large database of features from many images. This project also describes an approach to using these features for object recognition. The recognition proceeds by matching individual features to a database of features from known objects using a fast nearest-neighbor algorithm, followed by a Hough transform to identify clusters belonging to a single object, and finally performing verification through least-squares solution for consistent pose parameters. This approach to recognition can robustly identify objects among clutter and occlusion while achieving near real-time performance.
This project presents an efficient image de-noising scheme by using principal component analysis(PCA) with local pixel grouping(LPG).For a better preservation of image local structures, pixel and its nearest neighbors are modeled as a vector variable, whose training samples are selected from the local window by using block matching based LPG. Such an LPG procedure guarantees that only the sample blocks with similar contents are used in the local statistics calculation for PCA transform estimation, so that the image local features can be well preserved after coefficient shrinkage in the PCA domain to remove the noise. The LPG-PCA de-noising procedure is iterating done more time to further improve the de-noising performance, and the noise level is adaptively adjusted in the second stage. Experimental results on bench mark test images demonstrate that the LPG-PCA method achieves very competitive de-noising performance, especially in image fine structure preservation, compared with state-of-the-art de-noising algorithms.
In this project we propose Ohta based covariance method for tracking an object in various challenging situations. In the proposed method covariance matrix is used as the region descriptor. In addition to this other elements of feature vector are color moments, derivatives of the region and the pixel position. We incorporated a model update algorithm based on Riemannian geometry for updating covariance matrix. This method has been applied to four different conditions and the resulting experimental results show the robustness of the technique against occlusion, camera motion appearance and illumination change. Also the performance of this technique is compared with other existing techniques such as the covariance method with RGB features and histograms based method in terms of detection rate and show the superiority against other two.
In speech processing, gender clustering and classification plays a major role. In both gender clustering and classification, selecting the feature is an important process and the often utilized feature for gender clustering and classification in speech processing is pitch. The pitch value of a male speech differs much from that of a female speech. Normally, there is a considerable frequency value difference between the male and female speech. But, in some cases the frequency of male is almost equal to female or frequency of female is equal to male. In such situation, it is difficult to identify the exact gender. By considering this drawback, here three features namely; energy entropy, zero crossing rate and short time energy are used for identifying the gender."
In present times, the protection of multimedia data is becoming very important. The protection of this multimedia data can be done with encryption. There are so many different techniques should be used to protect confidential image data from unauthorized access. With the ever-increasing growth of multimedia applications, security is an important issue in communication and storage of images, and encryption is one the ways to ensure security. Image encryption techniques try to convert original image to another image that is hard to understand; to keep the image confidential between users, in other word, it is essential that nobody could get to know the content without a key for decryption.
This project explores the effectiveness of the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) for image matching. There is a popularly used interest point detection method often applied to image matching, the Harris corner detector. The Harris corner detector is non-invariant to scale change. The experiments of image matching based on both the SIFT and the Harris corner detector are performed to show the effectiveness of the scale invariant property of the SIFT method. Furthermore, the image matching method based on SIFT is applied to point tracking, and comparison with Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi feature point tracker studied.
This project shows how to create a mosaic from a video sequence. Video mosaicking is the process of stitching video frames together to form a comprehensive view of the scene. The resulting mosaic image is a compact representation of the video data, which is often used in video compression and surveillance applications

As we run this code in mat lab, the web camera will be initiated and the keypad image will be displayed on the monitor. Now user has to move his finger and has to select a particular button for calculation purpose. Here we can perform basic arithmetic operations. The result will be displayed on the mat lab command window.
With the advent of internet, various online attacks have been increased and among them the most popular attack is phishing. Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to get personal confidential information such as passwords, credit card information from unsuspecting victims for identity theft financial gain and other fraudulent activities. Fake websites which appear very similar to the original ones are being hosted to achieve this. In this project we have proposed a new approach named as ""A Novel Anti-phishing framework based on visual cryptography ""to solve the problem of phishing. Here an image based authentication using Visual Cryptography is implemented. The use of visual cryptography is explored to preserve the privacy of an image captcha by decomposing the original image captcha into two shares (known as sheets) that are stored in separate database servers (one with user and one with server) such that the original image captcha can be revealed only when both are simultaneously available; the individual sheet images do not reveal the identity of the original image captcha. Once the original image captcha is revealed to the user it can be used as the password. Using this website cross verifies its identity and proves that it is a genuine website before the end users.
An Identity Card is any document which may be used to verify aspects of an identity. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity card (IC). It plays in the society, threats of fraud, tampering, and identity theft arises. Thus, security and authenticity of these ID cards and their owners prove to be of much necessity. This project goal is to make use of Visual Cryptography and 2D data matrix codes to address these issues. Visual Cryptography is a secret sharing scheme where a confidential image is encrypted into noise-like secure shares, which can be reconstructed visually by superimposing the shares. Extended Visual Cryptography on the other hand, makes use of recognizable images as shares to the confidential image. In this project, the information in the ID cards are encoded into two 2D data matrix codes, which then are used in the two levels of extended visual cryptography. The first level provides authentication of the ID card, and the second level secures the identity of the ID card owner.
Since the computer technology continues to grow up; the importance of human computer interaction is enormously increasing. Nowadays most of the mobile devices are using a touch screen technology. However, this technology is still not cheap enough to be used in desktop systems. Creating a virtual human computer interaction device such as mouse or keyboard using a webcam and computer vision techniques can be an alternative way for the touch screen. In this study, finger tracking based a virtual mouse application has been designed and implemented using a regular webcam. The motivation was to create an object tracking application to interact with the computer, and develop a virtual human computer interaction device. In this study, a color pointer has been used for the object recognition and tracking. Left and the right click events of the mouse have been achieved by detecting the number of pointers on the image.
In the era of human machine interface, speech recognition is being looked upon as highly fascinating field to achieve human computer interaction. Several applications of speech recognition have emerged over the past years including voice dialing, voice query recognition for call routing and simple data entry. Speech recognition is the process of automatic determination of linguistic information conveyed by human speech using a computer and reconstructing the text of a spoken sentence from the continuous acoustic signal, overcoming the associated noise induced disturbances. The aim of this project is to present an overview of the application of speech recognition system for mathematical computing using a basic computer without any additional hardware. The system developed would be able to take voice inputs from the user, match it with the database to recognize the digits, perform the required mathematical operation and display the output. This technology would make the calculation process easier for the user by supporting the concept of multitasking as well as eliminating human errors due to mistyping.
This project presents a fast and accurate automatic voice recognition algorithm. We use Mel frequency Cepstral Coefficient(MFCC) to extract the features from voice and Vector quantization technique to identify the speaker, this technique is usually used in data compression, it allows to model a probability functions by the distribution of different vectors, the results that we achieve were 100% of precision with a database of 10 speakers.
Automatic recognition of people is a challenging problem which has received much attention during recent years due to its many applications in different fields. Face recognition is one of those challenging problems and up to date, there is no technique that provides a robust solution to all situations. This project presents a new technique for human face recognition. This technique uses an image-based approach towards artificial intelligence by removing redundant data from face images through image compression using the two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT). The DCT extracts features from face images based on skin color. Feature vectors are constructed by computing DCT coefficients. A self-organizing map (SOM) using an unsupervised learning technique is used to classify DCT-based feature vectors into groups to identify if the subject in the input image is “present” or “not present” in the image database. Face recognition with SOM is carried out by classifying intensity values of grayscale pixels into different groups. Evaluation was performed in MATLAB using an image database of 25 face images, containing five subjects and each subject having 5 images with different facial expressions. After training for approximately 850 epochs the system achieved a recognition rate of 81.36% for 10 consecutive trials. The main advantage of this technique is its high-speed processing capability and low computational requirements, in terms of both speed and memory utilization.
In this project, a novel view invariant action recognition method based on neural network representation and recognition is proposed. The novel representation of action videos is based on learning spatially related human body posture prototypes using self-organizing maps. Fuzzy distances from human body posture prototypes are used to produce a time invariant action representation. Multilayer perceptions are used for action classification. The algorithm is trained using data from a multi-camera setup. An arbitrary number of cameras can be used in order to recognize actions using a Bayesian framework. The proposed method can also be applied to videos depicting interactions between humans, without any modification. The use of information captured from different viewing angles leads to high classification performance. The proposed method is the first one that has been tested in challenging experimental setups, a fact that denotes its effectiveness to deal with most of the open issues in action recognition.
The Automated visual inspection systems are utilized effectively to identify the defects in various digital images in industries. In our research work we have used Gabor filter and Gaussian filter to eliminate the texture elements in the digital image by isolating the defected area. Then a fast searching algorithm which uses feature extraction parameters is deployed to identify the defected pixels and to effectively segment it. The proposed technique is suitable for texture and non-texture images. Thus the Algorithm is used to identify the defects in the digital texture image using non texture methods.
This project presents a hand vein authentication system using fast spatial correlation of hand vein patterns. In order to evaluate the system performance, a prototype was designed and a dataset of 50 persons of different ages above 16 and of different gender, each has 10 images per person was acquired at different intervals, 5 images for left hand and 5 images for right hand. In verification testing analysis, we used 3 images to represent the templates and 2 images for testing. Each of the 2 images is matched with the existing 3 templates. FAR of 0.02% and FRR of 3.00 % were reported at threshold 80. The system efficiency at this threshold was found to be 99.95%. The system can operate at a 97% genuine acceptance rate and 99.98 % genuine reject rate, at corresponding threshold of 80. The EER was reported as 0.25 % at threshold 77. We verified that no similarity exists between right and left hand vein patterns for the same person over the acquired dataset sample. Finally, this distinct 100 hand vein patterns dataset sample can be accessed by researchers and students upon request for testing other methods of hand veins matching.
The security of medical records is an important issue related to privacy and safety during storage and communication. Human errors in hospitals and medical centers are closed related with mishandling of medical records. Cryptography and Steganography can offer not only information security but also secure association of multimedia records. Embodying a part of Cryptography, the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity is defined as Steganography. In digital Steganography, electronic communications may include Steganography coding inside of a transport layer, such as a document file, image file, program or protocols. Media files are ideal for Steganography transmission because of their large size. One of the digital Steganography techniques includes concealing messages within lowest bits of images or media files. The robustness of the encoding depends upon the technique used to encode the stego-data. The main objective of making Steganography encoding difficult to detect is to ensure that the changes to the cover image by the injection of the embedded image is negligible. Technical advancements which have gained significance in the context of data embedding in video and audio signals can be extended to telemedicine. Data embedding with medical images will have applications such as compact storage, efficient transmission and confidentiality of patient records. This will help the data to remain intact across varying data file formats. Current standards for medical image data exchange like DICOM provide a set of methods that could be used to implement security policies regarding the interchange of data objects through networks. However, the diffusion of such systems is not very large, so that in some applications a medical image could be distributed to a non-standard system, with the risk that a format conversion could result in a wrong link between image and patient data. Hence, in order to maintain the integrity of the image as well as the data this project uses Arithmetic coding along with cryptography to incorporate the data in a medical image.
Resolution of an image has been always an important issue in many image- and video-processing applications, such as video resolution enhancement, feature extraction and satellite image resolution enhancement. Interpolation in image processing is a method to increase the number of pixels in a digital image. Interpolation has been widely used in many image processing applications, such as facial reconstruction multiple description coding and image resolution enhancement .The interpolation-based image resolution enhancement has been used for a long time and many interpolation techniques have been developed to increase the quality of this task. There are three well- known interpolation techniques, namely, nearest neighbor, bilinear, and bicubic. Bicubic interpolation is more sophisticated than the other two techniques and produces smoother edges. Wavelets are also playing a significant role in many image processing applications. The 2-D wavelet decomposition of an image is performed by applying the 1-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) along the rows of the image first, and then the results are decomposed along the columns. This operation results in four decomposed sub band images referred to low (LL), low-high (LH), high-low (HL), and high-high (HH). The frequency components of those sub bands cover the full frequency spectrum of the original image. In this project, we propose a resolution-enhancement technique using interpolated DWT high-frequency sub band images and the input low-resolution image. Inverse DWT (IDWT) has been applied to combine all these images to generate the final resolution-enhanced image.
Image segmentation, a process of pixel classification, aims to extract or segment objects or regions from the background. It is a critical preprocessing step to the success of image recognition image compression, image visualization, and image retrieval. Pal and Pal .provided a review on various segmentation techniques. It should be noted that there is no single standard approach to segmentation. Many different types of scene parts can serve as the segments on which descriptions are based, and there are many different ways in which one can attempt to extract these parts from the image. Selection of an appropriate segmentation technique depends on the type of images and applications. Image segmentation, a process of pixel classification, aims to extract or segment objects or regions from the background.
The presented Matlab code demonstrates a set of basic image processing functionalities. Furthermore, it provides a simple Graphical User Interface, also implemented in Matlab, using the GUIDE tool.
After some damaging blackouts, voltage stability & collapse happening all over the world & across our nation has become a concern problem. The major issue in these problem is the collapse of transmission system which is most suffered by the frequent variations load. In this project, we focus on the detection of most sensitive node in IEEE – 14 bus system. For doing the above said we are using PSAT (Power System analysis toolbox) a MATLAB Based Simulink & Simulation toolbox which utilizes L-index method for voltage stability analysis and sensitive nodes determination. In this work, firstly we have analyzed IEEE-14 bus system under the standard test data & after that we have increased load data by 5%,10%,15%,20%, 25%,30%,35%,45% and so on then we have compared all the result with the original power flow results of IEEE-14 bus system for finding a most sensitive node.
A controller design methodology for an n-stage cascade boost converter is given using average current-mode control. This class of converters has n-LC filters; thus, it will exhibit 2n-order characteristic dynamics. The proposed scheme employs the inductor current of the input stage and the capacitor voltage of the output stage; thus, there are (n 2 1) capacitor voltages and (n 2 1) inductor currents that are not used for feedback purposes. The sensed current can also be used for one-cycle overload protection; therefore the full benefits of current-mode control are maintained. Owing to the fact that this scheme uses only a reduced set of variables for feedback, it is important to study the internal stability. The results given in this study allow the designer to easily pinpoint the control circuit parameters that optimize the converter’s performance. Experimental results are given for a 100 W switching regulator where the robustness of the proposed controller is tested under changes in the input voltage and outputload.
Contingency analysis technique is being widely used to predict the effect of outages in power systems, like failures of equipment, transmission line etc. The off line analysis to predict the effect of individual contingency is a tedious task as a power system contains large number of components. Practically, only selected contingencies will lead to severe conditions in power system like violation of voltage and active power flow limits. The process of identifying these severe contingencies is referred as contingency selection and this can be done by calculating performance indices for each contingencies. In this project, the contingency selection by calculating two kinds of performance indices; active power performance index (PIP) and reactive power performance index (PIV) for single transmission line outage have been done with the help of MATLAB Simulink environment. The ranking of most severe contingency has been done based on the values of performance indices. Simultaneously the value of bus voltages and active power flow before and after the most severe transmission line contingency has been analyzed. The effectiveness of the method has been tested on IEEE-14 Bus test systems. It can be seen from the results that, based on the knowledge of PIP & PIV the most severe transmission line contingency can be identified and the effect of this contingency on the rest of the system can also be seen via post contingency analysis.

Power Quality (PQ) has become an important topic of discussion and research, especially in a deregulated environment. As per IEEE 519 std. these parameters of power quality measurement, are four in number, of which Total Harmonic Distortion is most widely used. Semiconductor switching devices which are generally used in converter circuits produce significant harmonic voltages as they chop voltage waveforms during the transition between the conducting and cutoff stages. The diode bridge rectifiers/converters are considered as a major contributor to the power system harmonics and the consequences are varying from components overheating to communication interference. Our work links the field of electrical power conversion and electrical drives (DC), where these power converters find applications. Electric drives play an important role in industry as well as our day-to-day life. They are use the electrical power input and provide mechanical work as output. They are also an indispensable part of our daily lives. The applications of DC drives make it undesirable when used in deregulated environment. Hence power quality issues matter a lot in these cases. We extend our work to higher pulse converters (up to 48 Pulse) and determine the power quality parameters in each case. Various reduction methods like LC Passive Filters, Shunt Active Filter, Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation are applied in each case and a clear comparison before and after application of techniques will be brought out.
Induction motors are the most widely used electrical motors due to their reliability, low cost and robustness. However, induction motors do not inherently have the capability of variable speed operation. Due to this reason, earlier dc motors were applied in most of the electrical drives. But the recent developments in speed control methods of the induction motor have led to their large scale use in almost all electrical drives. Out of the several methods of speed control of an induction such as pole changing, frequency variation, variable rotor resistance, variable stator voltage, constant V/f control, slip recovery method etc., the closed loop constant V/f speed control method is most widely used. In this method, the V/f ratio is kept constant which in turn maintains the magnetizing flux constant so that the maximum torque remains unchanged. Thus, the motor is completely utilized in this method. During starting of an induction motor, the stator resistance and the motor inductance (both rotor and stator) must be kept low to reduce the steady state time and also to reduce the jerks during starting. On the other hand, higher value of rotor resistance leads to lesser jerks while having no effect on the steady state time. The vector control analysis of an induction motor allows the decoupled analysis where the torque and the flux components can be independently controlled (just as in dc motor). This makes the analysis easier than the per phase equivalent circuit.
The majority of color histogram equalization methods do not yield uniform histogram in gray scale. After converting a color histogram equalized image into gray scale, the contrast of the converted image is worse than that of a 1-D gray scale histogram equalized image. We propose a novel 3-D color histogram equalization method that produces uniform distribution in gray scale histogram by defining a new cumulative probability density function in 3-D color space. Test results with natural and synthetic images are presented to compare and analyze various color histogram equalization algorithms based upon 3-D color histograms. We also present theoretical analysis for non ideal performance of existing methods.
Current differential protection relays are widely applied to the protection of electrical plant due to their simplicity, sensitivity and stability for internal and external faults. The proposed idea has the feature of unit protection relays to protect large power transmission grids based on phaser measurement units. The principle of the protection scheme depends on comparing positive sequence voltage magnitudes at each bus during fault conditions inside a system protection center to detect the nearest bus to the fault. Then the absolute differences of positive sequence current angles are compared for all lines connecting to this bus to detect the faulted line. The new technique depends on synchronized phaser measuring technology with high speed communication system and time transfer GPS system. The simulation of the interconnecting system is applied on 500 kV Egyptian network using Matlab Simulink. The new technique can successfully distinguish between internal and external faults for interconnected lines. The new protection scheme works as unit protection system for long transmission lines. The time of fault detection is estimated by 5 msec for all fault conditions and the relay is evaluated as a backup relay based on the communication speed for data transferring.

Moreover, a strategy is suggested for battery charging period which increases converter input power and hence accelerates battery charging process. The proposed converter possesses desirable characteristics of an ideal AC/AC converter such as low THD of input current and output voltage and unity power factor. The validity of theoretical issues is confirmed by simulation results.
A soft-switching dc/dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed in this project. It provides a continuous input current and high voltage gain. Moreover, soft-switching characteristic of the proposed converter reduces switching loss of active power switches and raises the conversion efficiency.

Experimental results obtained on 200W prototype are discussed.
This project presents a high-efficiency and high-step up non isolated interleaved dc–dc converter with a common active clamp circuit. In the presented converter, the coupled-inductor boost converters are interleaved. A boost converter is used to clamp the voltage stresses of all the switches in the interleaved converters, caused by the leakage inductances present in the practical coupled inductors, to a low voltage level. The leakage energies of the interleaved converters are collected in a clamp capacitor and recycled to the output by the clamp boost converter. The proposed converter achieves high efficiency because of the recycling of the leakage.energies, reduction of the switch voltage stress, mitigation of the output diode’s reverse recovery problem, and interleaving of the converters. Detailed analysis and design of the proposed converter are carried out. A prototype of the proposed converter is developed, and its experimental results are presented for validation.
TZiegler-Nichols tuned PID controller’s performances usually are not acceptable for applications requiring precise control.

With the advance of power electronic technology, the application of HVDC light systems based on voltage-source insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) converters has increased rapidly in renewable, micro grid, and electric power systems. This project proposes an optimal control strategy for an HVDC light system using a direct current vector control mechanism. The proposed approach is compared with the traditional vector control method for different HVDC control requirements, such as active power, reactive power, and grid voltage support control. A limitation of the conventional control mechanism is analyzed through a theoretical study and computer simulation. Closed-loop control evaluation demonstrates that the proposed approach works well for HVDC light system control both within and beyond the physical constraints of the system, such as rated power and saturation of pulse width modulation (PWM). The evaluation also shows that the conventional control technique could result in over voltage and system oscillation, especially when the controller operates beyond the PWM saturation limit.
Due to the popularity of JPEG as an image compression standard, the ability to detect tampering in JPEG images has become increasingly important. Tampering of compressed images often involves recompression and tends to erase traces of tampering found in uncompressed images. In this project, we present a new technique to discover traces caused by recompression. We assume all source images are in JPEG format and propose to formulate the periodic characteristics of JPEG images both in spatial and transform domains. Using theoretical analysis, we design a robust detection approach which is able to detect either block-aligned or misaligned recompression. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach, and also show it outperforms existing methods.

The control strategy consists in keeping constant the voltage–frequency ratio of the induction-motor supply source. A fuzzy-control system is built on a digital signal processor, which uses speed error and speed-error variation to change both the fundamental voltage amplitude and frequency of a sinusoidal pulse width modulation inverter. An alternative optimized method for embedded fuzzy-system design is also proposed. The controller performance, in relation to reference and load-torque variations, is evaluated by experimental results. A comparative analysis with conventional proportional–integral controller is also achieved.
Nowadays high quality power is essential for medical, research and industrial applications to produce good quality results and analysis. In this project, an attempt has been made to improve the quality of power. A single phase seven level cascaded multi level inverter with identical dc supply is designed to reduce the harmonic components of the output voltage. Genetic algorithm optimization technique is applied to multilevel inverter to determine optimum switching angles there by reducing some higher order harmonics while maintaining the required fundamental voltage. This generalized technique can be extended to multi level inverters with any number of levels. The switching angles for each pulse are determined using Genetic Algorithm which is a evolutionary programming technique. The simulation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink package and the result is compared with the conventional methods like Newton Raphson. The Total Harmonic Distortion is measured accordingly for different modulation indices. A proto type model of microcontroller based seven level inverter has been designed, fabricated and tested. The results are presented and analyzed and hence the hardware results are verified with the simulation results.
One of the most important topics regarding the application of superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) for upcoming smart grid is related to its possible effect on the reduction of abnormal fault current and the suitable location in the micro grids. Due to the grid connection of the micro grids with the current power grids, excessive fault current is a serious problem to be solved for successful implementation of micro grids. However, a shortage of research concerning the location of SFCL in micro grid is felt. In this work, a resistive type SFCL model was implemented by integrating Simulink and Sim Power System blocks in Matlab. The designed SFCL model could be easily utilized for determining an impedance level of SFCL according to the fault- current-limitation requirements of various kinds of the smart grid system. In addition, typical smart grid model including generation, transmission and distribution network with dispersed energy resource was modeled to determine the location and the performance of the SFCL. As for a dispersed energy resource, 10 MVA wind farm was considered for the simulation. Three phase faults have been simulated at different locations in smart grid and the effect of the SFCL and its location on the wind farm fault current was evaluated. Consequently, the optimum arrangement of the SFCL location in Smart Grid with renewable resources has been proposed and its remarkable performance has been suggested.
This brief introduces an isolated two-switch Zeta dc–dc converter, along with the steady-state analysis and experimentation. The high transistor voltage stress due to the ringing caused by the resonance of the transformer leakage inductance and the transistor output capacitance is a major drawback in the conventional isolated Zeta converter. With the incorporation of an additional transistor and two clamping diodes on the primary side of the transformer of the isolated Zeta converter, an isolated two transistor Zeta converter is proposed. In the proposed converter, the voltage stress of both transistors is reduced to the dc input voltage VI. Experimental results from a 10-V/30-W 100-kHz laboratory prototype are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.
Loads in a power distribution system network are mostly inductive and lead to poor power factor. In order to utilize the generated power optimally it is necessary to maintain close to-unity power factor. Power factor correction is possible by introducing the capacitive loads in the circuit, as to nullify the effect of inductive loading. Due to simplicity of analysis of radial distribution systems, most previous work studied the effect of nonlinear and capacitive loads on the optimal solution of the Capacitor Placement Problem (CPP) for radial distribution systems only. In this project, we study optimal capacitor placement on interconnected distribution systems in the presence of nonlinear loads. The placement problem is solved using Genetic Algorithms (GA) as implemented in the ETAP Power station software. Results (power losses, operating voltages and annual benefits) are analyzed. Computational results show that harmonic components affect optimal capacitor placement in all system configurations. If all loads were linear, interconnected and loop system configurations offer lower power losses and better operating conditions than the radial system configuration.
The control and simulation of the power delivered to the grid are becoming an important topic, particularly when the number of distributed power generation systems increases. In this project, two different control schemes for an oscillating water- column Wells-turbine–generator module are simulated, implemented, and compared. In the first method, the control system does appropriately adapt the slip of the induction generator according to the pressure drop entry in order to maximize the generated power, while in the second method; a traditional proportional– integral–derivative-based control is implemented in order to deal with the desired power-reference-tracking problem. It will be shown how the controllers avoid the stalling behavior and that the average power of the generator fed into the grid is significantly higher in the controlled cases than in the uncontrolled one while providing the desired output power.

The project studies the performance of variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) configuration with non inverting buck- boost converter. The wind turbine systems consist of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected to diode rectifier, DC chopper and load. New control strategy, based on the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and limited power point tracking (LPPT) algorithms is used to improve the system operation. When necessary to limit the power injected to the grid, due to system operator demands, a control unit is implementing to switch between two regimes of wind turbine operation: at maximum power and at limited power. The MPP tracker is simple perturb and observation (P&O) controller in combination with two optimum wind turbines power/torque versus speed characteristics. Two control loops: inner feed forward current control loop and outer voltage control closed loop are applied for the non-inverting buck-boost converter. The performance of the dynamic models and the control loops is tested under various wind conditions. The simulation results are shown. The results prove the strategy and models reliability.
In this project, a comprehensive model of the variable speed constant-frequency aircraft electric power system is developed to study the performance characteristics of the system and, in particular, the system power quality over a frequency range of operation of 400 Hz to 800 Hz. A fully controlled active power filter is designed to regulate the load terminal voltage, eliminate harmonics, correct supply power factor, and minimize the effect of unbalanced loads. The control algorithm for the active power filter (APF) is based on the perfect harmonic cancellation method which provides a three-phase reference supply current in phase with its positive-sequence fundamental voltage. The proposed APF is integrated into the model of a 90-kVA advanced aircraft electric power system under VSCF operation. The performance characteristics of the system are studied with the frequency of the generator’s output voltage varied from 400 Hz to 800 Hz under different loading conditions. Several case studies are presented including dc loads as well as passive and dynamic ac loads. The power quality characteristics of the studied aircraft electric power system with the proposed active filter are shown to be in compliance with the most recent military aircraft electrical standards MIL-STD-704F as well as with the IEEE Std. 519.
Emerging trends of high-power-density power electronics interfaces for renewable- and alternative-energy sources have led to the need for high-frequency-inverter designs without compromising energy-conversion efficiency. In that context, a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS)-based scheme is described in this letter, for a cyclo converter-type high- frequency-link inverter, which is applicable for renewable- and alternative-energy sources as well as other commercial applications. The proposed scheme achieves the primary-side-converter-assisted switching of the ac/ac converter switches under ZVS condition. The modes of operation of the ac/ac converter are explained to outline the behavioral response. The results on the efficacy of the ZVS-based inverter and its performance show satisfactory performances.

Based on initial studies, some PCB defects can only exist in certain groups. Thus, it is obvious that the image processing algorithm could be improved by applying a segmentation exercise. This project uses template and test images of single layer, bare, grayscale computer generated PCBs. The research improves Khalid work by increasing the number of defect categories from 5 to 7, with each category classifying a minimum of 1 to a maximum 4 different types of defects and a total of 13 out of 14 defects were classified.

This project proposes a single-phase seven-level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM) control scheme. Three reference signals that are identical to each other with an offset that is equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate the PWM signals. The inverter is capable of producing seven levels of output-voltage levels (Vdc, 2Vdc/3, Vdc/3, 0,−Vdc,−2Vdc/3,−Vdc/3) from the dc supply voltage. A digital proportional–integral current-control algorithm was implemented in a TMS320F2812 DSP to keep the current injected into the grid sinusoidal. The proposed system was verified through simulation and implemented in a prototype.
This project proposes a single-phase to three-phase drive system composed of two parallel single-phase rectifiers, a three-phase inverter, and an induction motor. The proposed topology permits to reduce the rectifier switch currents, the harmonic distortion at the input converter side, and presents improvements on the fault tolerance characteristics. Even with the increase in the number of switches, the total energy loss of the proposed system may be lower than that of a conventional one. The model of the system is derived, and it is shown that the reduction of circulating current is an important objective in the system design. A suitable control strategy, including the pulse width modulation technique (PWM), is developed. Experimental results are presented as well.
Active-clamp dc–dc converters are pulse width modulated converters having two switches featuring zero-voltage switching at frequencies beyond 100 kHz. Generalized equivalent circuits valid for steady-state and dynamic performance have been proposed for the family of active-clamp converters. The active lamp converter is analyzed for its dynamic behavior under current control in this project. The steady-state stability analysis is presented. On account of the lossless damping inherent in the active-clamp converters, it appears that the stability region in the current-controlled active-clamp converters get extended for duty ratios, a little greater than 0.5 unlike in conventional hard-switched converters. The conventional graphical approach fails to assess the stability of current- controlled active-clamp converters, due to the coupling between the filter inductor current and resonant inductor current. An analysis that takes into account the presence of the resonant elements is presented to establish the condition for stability. This method correctly predicts the stability of the current controlled active-clamp converters. A simple expression for the maximum duty cycle for sub harmonic-free operation is obtained. The results are verified experimentally.

The experimental results of the prototype inverter confirm the theoretical analysis.

For this we use DAQ hardware with PIC/AVR micro- controller. This Relay gets activated whenever the electrical parameters exceed the predefined values. It has various applications like controlling generators, motors, in industries & home appliances like fans, tube lights etc
Our project is a working model, which incorporates sensors to measure all these parameters like Body temperature, ECG and Heart Beat rate, all enclosed into a coat. An Embedded Micro controller scans data from all this sensors and transfers it to the hospital by RF transmitter if there is an emergency situation. It also enables an alarm beep sound to indicate the patient.
This project is mainly concerned about monitoring patient’s condition simultaneously via Wireless Network. Wireless Network is a network that allows data transmitted to the node's nearest neighbors and it can be easily maintained as each node are self configuring and self healing. Data obtained from multiple heartbeats will be stored and processed using microcontrollers, and then transmitted to a centralized unit, where the information for multiple sensors will be displayed simultaneously.
In this project we propose a design using a touchpad/keypad, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth technology to construct a blood pressure measurement which works in cooperation with a health management system.
Water being one of the most important resources needs to be not just regulated, but also controlled. There is a scarcity of water, and water should reach not only the urban areas, but also remote areas. This project will thus have a control on the valves, and thereby a control on the water flows. The system monitors water usage and disconnects if they are using excess of water by solenoid valve or small 5V pump (for Prototype). We are using the water flow sensor to detect the water usage. This sensor is going to generate the pulses based on the water flow rate and MUC counts the number of pulse and disconnects Here we are monitoring water level also for the tank. If tank is empty automatically electric pump activates to fill the tank, once the tank is full the pump is going to deactivates automatically. If there is a leakage in water tank the system activates buzzer and sends the information to the owner by RF technology. LCD is going to display the present status of the system. We are using RF wireless technology to transmit the status of the tank, water usage; pump activation and deactivation etc are going to transmits.

In order to comply with the policies of energy saving, carbon reduction, and environmental protection, all of the electric equipment and energies are requested to satisfy the green demand. However, massive fuel oil vehicles result in serious air pollution and destruction environment. Therefore, the development of the electric vehicles (EV) or the hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are becoming important policies in many countries. The secondary batteries are the main energy sources of the EV. Thus, energy management is the most important key factor in EV or HEV design. Nowadays, bidirectional converter applied in electric vehicles can provide energy stored in battery for driving motor and offer battery charging or energy recovery. Many advanced techniques, research results or control strategy related to the bi-directional converter are explored in succession
The objective of voting is to allow voters to exercise their right to express their choices regarding specific issues, pieces of legislation, citizen initiatives, constitutional amendments, recalls and/or to choose their government and political representatives.

This charger can replenish almost all types of batteries including Mobile phone battery. It uses a Solar Module to convert light energy into electrical energy, wind energy to electrical energy, if there is no power from solar and wind energy the load requirement meets by KPTCL power, if there is no KPTCL power the mobile charger charges by UPS and if UPS is fully discharged DG set is going to switch automatically to meet the load requirement.
There are several power generation units connected to the grid such as hydral, thermal, solar etc to supply power to the load. These generating units need to supply power according to the rules of the grid. These rules involve maintaining a voltage variation within limits and also the frequency. If any deviation from the acceptable limit of the grid it is mandatory that the same feeder should automatically get disconnected from the grid which by effect is termed as islanding. This prevents in large scale brown out or black out of the grid power. So it is preferable to have a system which can warn the grid in advance so that alternate arrangements are kept on standby to avoid complete grid failure. The project is designed to develop a system to detect the synchronization failure of any external supply source to the power grid on sensing the abnormalities in frequency and voltage.

The solar panel tracks the sun from east to west automatically for maximum intensity of light.A solar tracker is a device onto which solar panels are fitted which tracks the motion of the sun across the sky, thus ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panels throughout the day. A solar tracking system and load control the system alerts the owner by GSM technology.
This system helps the users by alerting them about the peak loads (max energy consumption), power status (ON/OFF), billing status and number of units consumed. The voice alerts could be in any local language. Hence this system can be used across the world. The typical voice alerts are “OL (Over Load)”, “PEB (Pay Electricity Bill)”, “On/Off” and 1/2/3 units.This can be achieved by the use of microcontroller unit that continuously monitors and records the Energy Meter readings in its memory location. Microcontroller also drives the voice module to play the voice messages based on the energy meter readings and inputs. We have push button to check the over load status, power status, billing status and units consumption status.
Here we are developing a system to find the sensing power theft, power monitoring and transfer it to EB (Electricity Board). Normal practice for power theft is to short the input and output terminals. So by sensing current flow through the line and energy feedback we can prevent it. This system monitors the power consumption and sends the number of units consumed to the EB by GSM.
Water is a vital component of agricultural production. It is essential to maximize both yield and quality. Water has to be applied in the right amounts at the right time in order to achieve the right crop result. At the same time, the application of water should avoid waste of a valuable resource and be in sympathy with the environment as a whole. Understanding, measuring and assessing how water flows around the farm, and recognizing how farming practices affect flows, will help farmers to manage water efficiently and reduce pollution risks. In this project we are managing the water to crop based water quantity by water flow sensor. Each and every crop requires different water quantity. As a prototype we use three crops with different water quantity. If you press crop1, water flow senses the water quantity and it gives the pulses to the micro controller, the micro controller counts the pulses and once it reaches the maximum pulses means water quantity for crop1 is over so it switch OFF’s the water pump and same thing for other crops. Here electric pump is going to switch ON and OFF based on the moisture content of the soil also. If someone tried to take the water flow sensor buzzer is going to activate and make the sound.

The main objective of this project is to develop a device to charge the electrical vehicle through wireless power transmission. The concept of wireless power transfer was realized by Nikolas tesla. Wireless power transfer can make a remarkable change in the field of the electrical engineering which eliminates the use conventional copper cables and current carrying wires. Based on this concept, the project is developed to transfer power within a small range for prototype is for up to 1-2 cm. This project can be used for charging batteries those are physically not possible to be connected electrically such as pace makers (An electronic device that works in place of a defective heart valve) implanted in the body that runs on a battery. Thus the transfer of power is done by the primary (transmitter) to the secondary that is separated with a considerable distance (say <1cm>). Therefore the transfer could be seen as the primary transmits and the secondary receives the power to run load. Moreover this technique can be used in number of applications, like to charge a mobile phone, iPod, laptop battery, propeller clock wirelessly. And also this kind of charging provides a far lower risk of electrical shock as it would be galvanic ally isolated. This concept is an Emerging Technology, and in future the distance of power transfer can be enhanced as the research across the world is still going on.

The project proposes an innovative design to develop a system based on AVR micro controller that is used for monitoring the voltage, current and temperature of a distribution transformer in a substation and to protect the system from the rise in mentioned parameters. Providing the protection to the distribution transformer can be accomplished by shutting down the entire unit with the aid of the Radio frequency Communication. Moreover the system displays the same on a PC at the main station which is at a remote place. Furthermore it is capable of recognizing the break downs caused due to overload, high temperature and over voltage. The design generally consists of two units, one in the substation unit, called as transmitter and display unit, and another in the Main station called as controlling unit. The transmitter and the display units in the substation is where the voltage, current and temperature are monitored continuously by AVR microcontroller and is displayed through the display unit. An RF transmitter is used for transmitting the signals that are obtained. The controlling unit in the main station by means of a PC and a RF receiver receives the RF signals that are transmitted by the Transmitter unit and reacts in accordance to the received signal. In general, the proposed design is developed for the user to easily recognize the distribution transformer that is suffered by any open or short circuit and rise in temperatures. The ultimate objective is to monitor the electrical parameters continuously and hence to guard the burning of distribution transformer or power transformer due to the constraints such as overload, over temperature and input high voltage. If any of these values increases beyond the limit then the entire unit is shut down by the designed controlling unit.

Water level in a dam needs to be maintained effectively to avoid complications. This is generally performed manually which requires full time supervision by the operators & have fairly large staff complements. Moreover, the quantity of water released is hardly ever correct resulting in wastage of water & it is impossible for a man to precisely control the gates without the knowledge of exact water level and water inflow rate. The main objective of this project is to develop a Mechatronics based system, which will detect the level of water and thereby the movement of gates can be controlled in a real-time basis which offers more flexibility
You can switch on/off devices using your mobile phone or land line numbers loads can be connected to the relay provided. Not only you can switch on /off devices it will also dial out a telephone number in case of security threat or any safety or protection parameters goes beyond safety limit. In case of any of the above, for ex. Temperature of the machinery has gone beyond safety limit, the device will first switch off the plant and dials out the presorted telephone number and delivers the emergency message. It will dial out for five times at the interval of one minute and again monitor the parameters, and if the parameters are not within limit again it will dial out. This cycle will repeat until the parameters become normal.

With the advancement in technologies in wireless communication many products are available in the market to make the human life more comfortable. One of my friends asked me to design a project for him .His only requirement was to switch ON/OFF his irrigation pump, which is two km away from his house. I could not find the radio module which could cover this distance so I decided to design SMS controlled project. I used GSM module which is readily available in the electronic market. His only requirement was to switch ON/OFF single pump. I designed a relay board using 8051 microcontroller which could be switched on by single miss call to the devices and can also be switched off by another miscall. It saves my talk time and money.

Electronic meters measure energy using highly integrated components or other customized integrated circuits. These devices digitize the instantaneous voltage and current via a high-resolution sigma-delta ADC. Computing the product of the voltage and current gives the instantaneous power in watts. Integration over time gives energy used, which is usually measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).The design technique for digital meters is influenced by three major factors namely; desired device cost, efficiency and overall size. While the cost is influenced by users’ general affordability, the efficiency and size must strictly comply with standard.

Some ECG systems have a monitor with that, but have very less memory capacity to store records of the various /same patient.
In this project, the three Phase supply is monitored and shared to loads using MUC. Here the control logic is implemented using MUC. The presence of each phase is sensed by the voltage sensing circuitry. The Voltage sensing Circuitry sends ‘0’ logic to the MUC if the phase line is alive otherwise sends ‘1’ logic. The MUC checks all the phase lines, if all the lines are alive, the Relays 1, 2 & 3 will be ON state and Relay 4 & 5 will be in OFF state. Thus Phase1 is loaded with Load1 and Phase 2 is loaded by Load2 and so on. Thus each phase is equally loaded, when all the phase lines are present.
The most important problems faced are the misusage of electricity and its wastage.

After some time the car will automatically lock the doors from inside so that the thief is trapped, Cuts off the engine so that the vehicle comes to a complete stop and then the car initiates an audio visual alarm informing all that the car is stolen. At such times the nearby people should be able to nab the culprit. There are also incidents when we might have parked the vehicle in the parking lot and some heavy crane can pick it up and carry away (typically by police in No Parking Zones).The smart car is fitted with a mechanism which will continuously keep looking out for a particular distance between the road and the chassis of the car and incase the distance becomes more than the permissible value, then the vehicle automatically sends an SMS to the user informing about the same. The system will also include the current location of the vehicle by picking the current latitude and longitude information from the on-board GPS system, which can be used to quickly track the vehicle when it was stolen. The same can also be used by the parents and the company owners to know where their vehicles are roaming. For this they can send a Status Request message to the vehicle and the GSM MODEM can be used to send the message containing the information from the GPS to the pre-defined number.
In Expensive D.C. motors are often used by model-makers, not only for model locomotives and racing cars but in robots of all kinds. They may also be used for driving non-mobile models. This project controls a small 6V/12V DC Motor. The circuit controls both the speed and the direction of the motor. There is a wide range of cheap low-voltage motors available. Many applications require slower speeds with correspondingly greater torque, and there are several different plastic gearboxes available for the model maker to use. There are also motor-driven devices such as cooling fans and water pumps that can be controlled by this project. It is possible to control the speed of a motor by simply wiring a resistor in series with it. Apart from the inefficiency of such a system, there is the need for a heavy-duty variable resistor (potentiometer). A typical D.C. motor requires several hundred milliamps to drive it.
