Virtual trainer with real-time feedback using kinect sensor

Abstract: With the advancement of technology, everyday life is becoming convenient day by day. However, on the other side, people suffering from various fitness related problems such as obesity, survical and muscular pains due to lack of physical exercise and availability of trainers. In this paper, we propose a virtual trainer with real-time feedback and the assessment score to different exercise postures using Kinect sensor. Recognition of the exercise has been performed using Random Forest (RF) classifier. The classified gestures provide the actual 3D view of the posture on the screen with a matching score such that the user can correct his/her posture by utilizing the feedback. Data of 9 basic exercise postures have been collected from 10 individuals. The performance of the system has been evaluated in user-independent training mode with an average accuracy of 96%. The whole system facilitates individuals an interactive exercise system and a novel contribution to the Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) research domain.

Decolorization and COD Reduction Efficiency of Magnesium over Iron based Salt for the Treatment of Textile Wastewater Containing Diazo and Anthraquinone Dyes

Abstract: Magnesium chloride, though cost wise roughly same as of ferrous sulphate, is less commonly used coagulant in comparison to the ferrous sulphate for the treatment of wastewater. The present study was conducted to investigate the comparative effectiveness of ferrous sulphate (FeSO4.7H2O) as iron based salt and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) as magnesium based salt in terms of decolorization and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction efficiency of textile wastewater. The coagulants were evaluated for synthetic textile wastewater containing two diazo dyes namely Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and Congo Red (CR) and one anthraquinone dye as Disperse Blue 3 (DB3), in seven possible equi-ratio combinations. Other chemical constituents that are normally released from different textile processing units were also added to replicate a practical scenario. From this study, MgCl2/Lime was found to be a superior coagulant system as compared to FeSO4.7H2O/Lime, FeSO4.7H2O/NaOH and MgCl2/NaOH.
