Drowsiness detection based on eye shape measurement

Abstract: Drowsiness of drivers is one of the main causes of road accidents. Thus countermeasure systems is required to prevent sleepiness related accidents. In this paper, a method for detecting driver’s drowsiness and subsequently alerting is proposed based on eye shape measurement. The Local Successive Mean Quantization Transform (SMQT) features and split up snow classifier algorithm is used detect driver’s face and shape measurement algorithm is used to find the eye blink. Different criterions such as duration of eyelid closure, number of groups of continuous blinks and frequency of eye blink are used to find drowsiness of the driver. Experimental results show that this new algorithm achieves a satisfied performance for drowsiness detection

Review on Detection of Fake Currency using Image processing Techniques

Abstract: Many countries are affected by the matter of fake notes. Indian is one among them. With the improved technology, anyone can print fake notes. These notes are produced without legal sanction of the state and continues production of such kinds of notes can degrade countries economy. When such counterfeited notes are produced and circulated, it becomes impossible for ordinary citizens to distinguish whether the money is real or fake because they differentiate according to physical appearance. The biggest challenge for many countries like India is the detection of fake currency. Even if banks and other big organizations have automatic machines designed to identify counterfeit currency notes, ordinary people can hardly differentiate between them. Nowadays recognition of fake currency has become challenging issue for many researchers. The identification involves many steps like edge detection, feature extraction, image segmentation, image acquisition, grayscale conversion, and comparison of images. This paper provides some related works of paper-currency recognition and has explained the spread of various currency recognition systems. Choosing the right feature would improve overall system performance. The goal of this work is to review previous papers and literature, identify the benefits and disadvantages of every method.

Image Retrieval Using Shape Feature: A Study

Abstract: As the network and development of multimedia technologies are becoming more popular, users are not satisfied with the traditional information retrieval techniques. So now a day the Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is becoming a source of exact and fast retrieval. There are four important feature components for content-based image retrieval: colour, texture, shape, and spatial relationship. Among these features, shape contains the most attractive visual information for human perception. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss issues and challenges in CBIR systems, the importance of shape feature in image retrieval and proposing a new method for image retrieval using wavelet based shape feature.

Application of Satellite Remote Sensing for Investigation of Suspended Sediment Dispersion Pattern in the Near Shore Region: A Case Study from the Central West Coast of India

Abstract: NAYAK, S.R.; HEGDE, V.S.; SHALINI, R.; RAJAWAT, A.S.; ALI, M.; VENKATESHWARLU, B., and RAMANA, I.V., 2012. Application of satellite remote sensing for investigation of suspended sediment dispersion pattern in the near shore region: A case study from the Central West Coast of India. Indian Remote Sensing -P4 (IRS P4) Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) data is used to understand seasonal variations in suspended sediment (SS) dispersal pattern in the near-shore waters of the Central West Coast of India. Four distinct patterns of sediment dispersion are observed. (1) During monsoon, plume-like sediment dispersion seaward is observed especially in the mouths of rivers. (2) As the monsoon progresses, there is northerly transport of sediments with anticlockwise pattern within the plumes. (3) During NE monsoon, sediment concentration is less and its transport is southward. (4) During premonsoon, SS concentration is high in the near-shore water and transport is landward. Sequential OCM data analyses indicated the ...

Distributed Multi level Security token based Authentication for Ubiquitous Objects-DMSA

Abstract: Ubiquitous computing technology provides an environment where users expect to access resources and services anytime and anywhere. The serious security risks and problems arise because resources can now be accessed by almost anyone with a mobile device in such an open model. This paper explores security in ubiquitous computing with focus on authentication. We propose a new model, which uses distributed hierarchical tree based approach for authenticating ubiquitous objects which overcomes the problems associated with centralized source of information.
