A Noval Approach to Extract an Image Using Watershed Transform

Anuj Kumar, Dr. Umesh Chandra · April 2018 · pp. 97-100

Image segmentation is an important image processing technique which is used to analyze what is inside the image. It means division of an image into meaningful structures. It is process of extracting and representing information from the image to group pixels together with region of similarity [1]. Image segmentation is used to separate an image into several meaningful parts. Image segmentation is process of partitioning the image into multiple segments. It is first important step in many image processing applications like image analysis, image description, recognition, image visualization and object based image compression. Image segmentation means assigning a label to each pixel in the image such that pixels with same labels share common visual characteristics. It makes an image easier to analyse in the image processing tasks. There are many different techniques available to perform image segmentation. The algorithm used in this paper is watershed based image segmentation. It is a hybrid technique because it is the result of threshold based, edge and region based techniques using morphological watershed transform. The watershed transformation is popular image segmentation technique for gray scale images [2]. An efficient watershed algorithm based on connected components [3] shows very good results compare to other watershed based image segmentation algorithms.

Food Ordering Mobile Applications – A new wave in Food Entrepreneurship

Dr. Sonali Jadhav · April 2018 · pp. 110-115

I. INTRODUCTION Online food ordering is a process that delivers food or take away, from home chefs, local restaurants and other food co-operatives through a mobile application or through a website. This style of food delivery is gaining popularity with more and more people especially the younger generation turning to mobile food ordering apps, thereby changing the way food is delivered and picked up. Customers prefer using the food ordering app over ordering food online. The customer can generate an order without having to explain it to another human being and have the food delivered at his doorstep. The apps are geared to search for local restaurants and the cuisine types. Entire menu is displayed on the app and the customer has to choose from the menu with a click of a button. However the app needs to be downloaded by the customers on their cell phones and register themselves on the app by creating their profile which will have their address and payment information. The payment is normally cashless through a credit or debit card if paid online or in cash against delivery. The apps will differ from each other in terms of features offered and by refining the search, based on most ordered, pricing, order history, customer reviews, promotions etc. The number of food delivery mobile app startups are growing at a fast pace and competing with the food delivery section of the restaurant market. The customers are being choosy, given the number of options that are available for them in this segment. Initially there was some reluctance amongst the investors to invest in any food related business but this view has changed over the period of time with the realization that there is a tremendous potential for this market sector. Some of the most popular mobile food delivery apps are Food Panda, Zomato, Swiggy, Tasty Khana, Just Eat, Uber Eats, Fresh Menu and Scootsy. Some restaurant chains have their own food delivery apps like Fassos, Dominos, Pizza Hut, KFC and Box 8.

Energy harvesting wireless sensor network (EH-WSN) is promising in applications, however the frequent occurrence of temporal death of nodes, due to the limited harvesting capability, presents a difficulty in meeting the quality-of-service requirements of the network. A Group of computers are connected to be able to exchange data and each node has a unique address. There is no bloom filter for carry provenance information to server for validate trusted node or not. We propose a provenance based encryption strategy whereby each node on the path of a data packet securely encrypts and also embeds provenance information within a Bloom filter (BF) that is transmitted along with the data. Here are three operations involved in this process are Active, Listening, Sleeping. In case of hackers attack the node, temporal death may occur. The AC motor will be turned on when the sensed value is above 40. When it is below 40 then the AC motor will be off. The temperature sensor is LM35 is used to detect the energy level of sensor Temperature sensor in the sense that provides temperature measurement through electric signal.

Rajeshkumar K, Sachin Prabhu P, Mohan Kumar N S · April 2018 · pp. 141-142

I. INTRODUCTION Concrete filled steel tube column (CFST) are increasingly used in the world of construction, especially in the construction of the high-rise buildings with increased grid of columns. Presently, these designs are especially demanded in the countries of Eastern and South-East Asia, which are located in areas of high seismic activity. Concrete filled steel tube columns have not only increased bearing capacity, a very large deformability because of the hooped compression that is created by the steel holder for the concrete core. By adopting high-strength concrete (HSC), the column size can be further reduced and higher strength to weight ratio can be achieved without jeopardising the ductility. It provides the quasi-plastic nature of their destruction, even when the high-strength concrete is used. The survivability of buildings during earthquakes significantly increases as a result of using such columns in the building frames.

Automatic Accident Detection and Notification System

Payel Thakur, Sanjoli Singh, Garima Shukla, Tanya Bhutani, Sneha Negi · April 2018 · pp. 167-170

Vehicular Accidents are a major cause of concern in today's world. Safety of the driver and the co passengers can be threatened because of various reasons that lead up to an accident and moreover there is a huge lag between the time of accident and time when emergency services reach ground zero. Many lives can be saved if proper emergency services reach the accident location at the right time. With the help of the proposed system not only accidents are detected but also notifications are sent to the nearest hospital, police station and emergency contacts. Accidents are detected using three sensors i.e, accelerometer, force resistive sensor and gyroscope so as to get accurate results. These sensors form the part of the embedded system which has an arduino and bluetooth module. The arduino constantly receives the sensor data and sends it to smartphone application via the bluetooth module. The smartphone detects whether an accident has occurred or not using the Accident detection algorithm. On detection of an accident, a message along with the gps coordinates (users current location), blood group and vehicle plate number (collected at the time of user registration) is sent to the nearest hospital, police station and emergency contacts. This process can significantly reduce the number of casualties because of delay in receiving proper medical care. Also in order to minimize false positives, an alarm system has been included which goes off as soon as accident has been detected. If the driver is safe, he/she can shut the alarm and cancel the sending of the message. The alarm rings for about 30 seconds after which it automatically forwards the message to emergency services and contacts. This application will help the service providers to reach on time and save valuable human life.

Jayant Awasthy, Dhruv Sharma · April 2018 · pp. 184-190

Flat slab systems are rapidly in use under recent advancement in construction practices. Since the Flat slab systems are more vulnerable to seismic effects, hence a comparative analysis is desired to know about actual behavioral response to seismic actions. In this research paper, using different techniques four modelling cases are modelled and analyzed using software STAAD PRO V8i SS6 keeping few parameters of the flat slab systems same. In the first case, Flat Slab structure with interior rectangular drop panel is modelled and analyzed for a four storeyed building having equal cantilever projection and column heads are not provided. In the Second case, flat slab resting on column with no beams is modeled and analyzed for the same building. Modelling for conventional RCC framed structure with beam & column are modeled and analyzed as the third case where slab is provided as plate element of some thickness while for the fourth case, RCC framed structure with floor load considered as slab load is modeled and analyzed for the same building. This research aims to study the effect of axial and shear forces and bending moments produced in the different elements of the framed structures for two different seismic zones. During analysis, different types of loads and load combinations along with seismic zone factors have been considered for all the cases. Peak storey lateral displacement, column forces and bending moment has been obtained and a graphical comparison for the different parameters of study. Earthquake forces are determined for Zone III and Zone V accounting IS 1893(Part-1):2002. Finally it has been concluded that Zone V parameters results are higher than Zone III. As well as in both zones flat slab systems are more flexible and also time period of vibration is less in such structures. This shows that Zone V structure needs provision of shear wall or bracing etc to avoid flexible behaviour to appropriate extent under seismic actions. .

Expenses on energy and environmental impacts have grown globally. All current developments in our man made environment consumes energy--to produce materials, to construct them and further energy for thermal comfort & illumination systems. Walls made using translucent bricks installed near staircases and inner walls can help during times of power failures and serve for a great deal of safety. For subways and airports these bricks would add to visibility. Blocks can be made into desired forms and can be used as decorative materials for bookshelves, sunshades, tables, lampshades and even statues. They can also be designed as security walls which enhance security by giving a hazy image of the perimeter. In schools, museums and prisons, translucent walls are useful to add safety and security, as well as for surveillance. Lamps made using this technique combined with a powerful light source can highlight desired surfaces. This research paper explores the advantages of using translucent bricks and examines the scope of using this as a substitute for jalli system. The function of a translucent brick has been analyzed by measuring features like temperature, intensity of light and safety. The research also probes for a cost effective way to construct translucent bricks in the Indian market by using alternative raw materials. Use of recycled optical fibers from e-waste and use of traditional mud have been deeply considered as alternative materials. The research aimed towards producing a detailed report regarding the same using standard brick tests in a lab. Until now, concrete structures alone were considered as structural members, but in the recent years this idea has been undergoing a massive change with concrete being used for aesthetic considerations too. The research concludes by identifying a combination of high grade concrete with optical filaments that can be used as an add-on material for the beautification of the buildings by making it light emitting.

Kifilideen L. Osanyinpeju, Pius O.O. Dada · April 2018 · pp. 245-252

The relations between soil pore structure induced by tillage and infiltration play an important role in flow characteristics of water and solutes in soil. The effects of agricultural management practices on soil physical parameters aid the effective sustainability of soils. In this study, three tillage methods common to the study area on porosity and water infiltration were assessed. Tillage treatments include zero tillage (Plot covered with vegetation (conservation tillage)), disc plough (ploughing to the depth of 16 cm, conventional tillage (CT)) and disc harrow (harrowing to a depth of 16 cm, conventional tillage (CT)). Porosity was determined by the core method, water infiltration by the double-ring infiltrometer and hydraulic conductivity from the steady state flow rate. Based on the result obtained there was no significant difference between the zero tillage and disc plough tillage while there was significant difference between the zero tillage and disc harrow tillage. More so, there was significant difference between the plough tillage and harrow tillage. Based on analysis and comparison of results, it’s indicated high soil sorptivity, porosity and infiltration capacity values for zero tillage follow by disc plough tillage and disc harrow tillage respectively. The bulk density decreased with depth for all the tillage practice while moisture content and porosity increased with depth for all the tillage practices. Furthermore, it has been found that porosity decreased in the order disc harrow tillage (49.90 %) follow by disc plough tillage (42.62%) and zero tillage (41.17 %) respectively. Meanwhile, infiltration capacity increased in the order zero tillage (24.40 cm/hr) follow by disc plough tillage (32.30 cm/hr) and disc harrow tillage (39.40 cm/hr). It was also observed that there was positive correlation between the infiltration capacity and porosity. The infiltration capacity increased with porosity.

Tapas Chakrabarti and Subir Kumar Sarkar · April 2018 · pp. 253-258

Improvement of Solar cell Efficiency along with cost effectiveness is an important critical issue in the present renewable energy scenario. Amorphous Silicon is the mostly used material as an emitter layer for HIT solar cells. The existing ITO/a-Si(n)/a-Si(i)/c-Si(p)//a-Si(p)/ITO structure has achieved a solar cell efficiency of more than 23%. But in this work, it is shown that due to higher carrier mobility, band gap and the lower refractive index, ZnO and ZnTe is better than a-Si as an emitter layer material. This work is concentrated on the modeling of a new structure by replacing the emitter layer of a-Si with ZnO and ZnTe, to achieve higher efficiency. In this work the two proposed structures are ITO/ZnO(n)/a-Si(i)/c-Si(p)/a-Si(p)/ITO and ITO/ZnTe(p)/a-Si(i)/c-Si(n)/a-Si(n)/ITO based on the basis of analytical study of mobility, band-gap and refractive index of materials. These two structures are modeled in AFORS-HET simulating environment and a comparison is done for these 3 structures. From this work, it is observed that ITO/ZnTe(p)/a-Si(i)/c-Si(n)/a-Si(n)/ITO structure shows the highest solar cell efficiency among these 3 structures. The analytical modeling of the model HIT solar structure ITO/ZnTe(p)/a-Si(i)/c-Si(n)/a-Si(n)/ITO significantly achieved the optimum efficiency.

Robots are playing a vital role in today’s industrial automation and monitoring systems. As, technology developed these robots have increased there application and functionality [1]. A gesture is a movement that you make with a part of your body, especially your hands, to express emotion or information. Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to begin to understand human body language, thus building a richer bridge between machines and humans than primitive text user interfaces or even graphical user interfaces which limit the majority of input to keyboard and mouse. Gesture recognition enables humans to communicate with the machine and interact naturally without any mechanical devices. A Gesture Controlled robot is a kind of robot which can be controlled by your hand gestures not by old buttons. Emerging application of robots in agriculture include weed control, harvesting, environmental monitoring and soil analysis. The main reason behind automation of farming processes are saving the time and energy required for performing repetitive farming tasks [3]. With each passing day the gap between machines and human is being reduced with the introduction of new technologies to ease the standard of living. Gestures have played a vital role in diminishing this abyss [2]. In this project we describe about the gesture controlled robot which can be controlled by your normal hand gestures. It consists of mainly two parts, one is transmitter part and other is receiver part. The transmitter transmits the signal according to the position of accelerometer and your hand gesture and receiver will receive the signal and make the robot move in respective direction.

Prashil M. Junghare, Cyril Prasanna Raj P., T. Srinivas · April 2018 · pp. 307-311

Underwater obstacle finding in ocean environment has attracted considerable interest in both military and civilian applications. In this paper, the performance of directions finding techniques, subspace and the non-subspace methods are presented. The Subspace analysis of high resolution algorithms, comparisons and the performance analysis have done. The analysis is based on linear array elements and the calculation depends on the pseudo spectra function of the valuation algorithms. Traditional MUSIC algorithm decomposes the signal covariance matrix and makes the signal subspace matrix orthogonal to the noise subspace, which decreases the effect of the noise. But when the signal intervals are very small, the traditional MUSIC algorithm has been unable to distinguish the signals as the SNR decreases. A new improved algorithm is introduced using Singular value decomposition of the covariance matrix. A simulation outcome displays that projected method gives greater performance than the MUSIC algorithm. In this paper, an underwater environment is taken into account such as water density, permittivity of water, pressure, Signal to Noise Ratio, speed of sound wave in water for the new modified MUSIC algorithm.

Prabu M., Karthikeyan N · April 2018 · pp. 319-324

Energy consumption is not expected to decrease in this century, because the world population is increasing and the economics of developing centuries are expanding rapidly. In contrast, the source and supply of primary energy sources like coal, oil and natural gas seems to decrease to a critical point. Alternate fuels will fulfill such demands in future. Biodiesel is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing alternative fuels in the world. Biodiesel from kapok seed oil by transesterification process is a mixture of calcium oxide(Cao) and ethanol. The high viscosity component, glycerol, is removed and hence the product has low viscosity like the fossil fuels. The transesterification can be done in a number of ways such as using an alkalai catalyst, acid catalyst, bio catalyst, heterogeneous catalyst in their supercritical state. The transesterification of kapok seed oil was carried out by using rotary magnetic stirrer method in the presence of ethanol as a reagent and calcium oxide(Cao) as the catalyst. Application of rotary magnetic stirrer method provides easy way to get a biofuel with advantages of enhancing reaction rate and improving the separation process. Creating biodiesel in a sustainable manner will allow this clean, renewable, and cost effective fuel to help ease the world through increasing shortages of petroleum, while providing economic and environmental benefits well into the future.

The GSM modem sends an SMS to the predefined mobile number. When a woman is in danger and in need of self-defence then she can press the switch which is allotted to her. By pressing the switch, the entire system will be activated then immediately a sms will be sent to concern person with location using GSM and GPS.

Voided Slab

Abhay M. Pande, Anup M. Bhendale, Dr. Manish M. Bais · April 2018 · pp. 354-356

The present report discusses the various structural behavior of voided slab or bubble deck slab and their structural benefits over traditional concrete slab. Bubble deck slab is a method of virtually eliminating all concrete from the middle of a floor slab, which is not performing any structural function, thereby dramatically reducing structural dead weight. High density polyethylene hollow spheres replace the ineffective concrete in the center of slab, thus decreasing the dead weight and increasing the efficiency of the floor. A biaxial hollow slab system is widely known as one of the effective slab system which can reduce the self - weight of slabs. By introducing the gaps leads to a 30 to 40 % lighter slab which reduces the loads on the columns, walls and foundation, and of course of the entire building. A Bubble Deck slab has two dimensional arrangements of voids within the slab to reduce self-weight. The behavior of Bubble Deck slabs is influenced by the ratio of bubble diameter to slab thickness.

Trilateration is the process that uses locations of points by measurement of distances, using the geometry of circles, spheres or triangles to calculate a particular point. Computer generated graphics is used in various places of design generation such as automobile designing, map designing and various areas of graphics generation. The conventional method uses Computer Aided Drawings (CAD) and it requires a working knowledge of the softwares used and the process takes time to turn a nonverbal information into visual form. It is much easier to draw directly than on CAD. This paper shows an arduino based system to design and implement these computer-generated designs directly on 3D space using ultrasonic sensors and the method of trilatration.

Firake Dipeeka B, Borole Seema, Kulkarni M. · April 2018 · pp. 361-363

In the present work the use of polypropylene fibers for improving properties of black cotton soil. The comparison of properties of soil with addition of varying percentages of fibers by dry weight of soil and having different aspect ratios is also carried out. The addition of polypropylene fibers resulted in increase in optimum moisture content and decrease in maximum dry density. Direct shear tests conducted on soil shows increase in value of cohesion and decrease in value of angle of internal friction. With the inclusion of the fibers increase in CBR value and unconfined compressive strength is observed.

Embedded System Implementation For Vein Detection

Nutan Phadnis, R. P. Patil, S.K. Shah · April 2018 · pp. 364-366

The appropriate location or detection of vein vessels plays important role in forensic field, medical applications and in biometrics like human identification, matching. Identification of vein vessels is necessary in medical field for needle infusion in the patients. Sometimes many of doctors or nurses found difficulty to locate vein vessels so if it goes wrong then it can cause Trauma, Hematoma, cuts on the bones, Allergic reactions, Swell in the skin. The pattern of vein can be used for human identification in biometrics and other biometrics features having particular drawback which can be overcome if we go for vein detection which having its unique features. Many researches are going on the vein recognition which includes researches on palm vein, wrist vein, dorsal vein, Finger vein, forearm vein etc. The framework for all types of mentioned vein recognition is based on authentication, more or less all having with same aspiration to detect vein in respective ROI. So to get rid of problems with needle infusion the embedded system with infrared camera can be developed which can detect veins on the body. And this system can be a handheld system which will be used to detect veins of persons practically. Camera will take a real time video with help of infrared lights and every vein on skin will give different contrast, hence it will be easier to identify.

A Review on Enhancing Anaerobic Degradation Rate of Municipal Solid Waste Using Micro-Organisms Along with Leachate Recirculation

Sneha P. Khobragade, V. U. Khanapure, M.M. Sawant · April 2018 · pp. 367-371

The generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has turn into a gradually more important worldwide issue over the last decade, because of the escalating growth in municipal populations, and the concomitant increase in waste generation per capita. Even though increases in recycling, composting, and incineration, the sanitary landfill is still the major MSW disposal substitute. Nowadays, “Bioreactor Landfill” is one concept that has gained considerable attention. But the presence of lignin is the limiting factor at later stages of biodegradation of MSW under anaerobic conditions. Therefore, inoculation with lignocellulolytic fungi can be useful for enhancing degradation. Two types of white- rot fungi (Phanerchaete chrysosporium and Trametes versicolor) have properties of lignin degradation. This paper reviews the details about degradation, process of anaerobic decomposition and aspects for enhancement of decomposition through enzymes and microorganisms at later stages of anaerobic bioreactor operation using cow dung manure as an inoculum for Indian conditions.
