In this paper a novel filtering design intended for
the impulsive noise removal in color images is presented.
The described scheme utilizes the rank weighted cumulated
distances between the pixels belonging to the local filtering
window. The impulse detection scheme is based on the
difference between the aggregated weighted distances assigned
to the central pixel of the window and the minimum value,
which corresponds to the rank weighted vector median. If the
difference exceeds an adaptively determined threshold value,
then the processed pixel is replaced by the mean of the
neighboring pixels, which were found to be not corrupted,
otherwise it is retained. The important feature of the described
filtering framework is its ability to effectively suppress
impulsive noise, while preserving fine image details. The
comparison with the state-of-the-art denoising schemes
revealed that the proposed filter yields better restoration
results in terms of objective restoration quality measures.

Image Restoration Using Particle Filters By Improving The Scale Of Texture Wi...CSCJournals
Traditional techniques are based on restoring image values based on local smoothness constraints within fixed bandwidth windows where image structure is not considered. Common problem for such methods is how to choose the most appropriate bandwidth and the most suitable set of neighboring pixels to guide the reconstruction process. The present work proposes a denoising technique based on particle filtering using MRF (Markov Random Field). It is an automatic technique to capture the scale of texture. The contribution of our method is the selection of an appropriate window in the image domain. For this we first construct a set containing all occurrences then the conditional pdf can be estimated with a histogram of all center pixel values. Particle evolution is controlled by the image structure leading to a filtering window adapted to the image content. Our method explores multiple neighbors’ sets (or hypotheses) that can be used for pixel denoising, through a particle filtering approach. This technique associates weights for each hypothesis according to its relevance and its contribution in the denoising process.

This Paper Analyze the performance of Unsymmetrical trimmed median, which is used as detector for the detection of impulse noise, Gaussian noise and mixed noise is proposed. The proposed algorithm uses a fixed 3x3 window for the increasing noise densities. The pixels in the current window are arranged in sorting order using a improved snake like sorting algorithm with reduced comparator. The processed pixel is checked for the occurrence of outliers, if the absolute difference between processed pixels is greater than fixed threshold. Under high noise densities the processed pixel is also noisy hence the median is checked using the above procedure. if found true then the pixel is considered as noisy hence the corrupted pixel is replaced by the median of the current processing window. If median is also noisy then replace the corrupted pixel with unsymmetrical trimmed median else if the pixel is termed uncorrupted and left unaltered. The proposed algorithm (PA) is tested on varying detail images for various noises. The proposed algorithm effectively removes the high density fixed value impulse noise, low density random valued impulse noise, low density Gaussian noise and lower proportion of mixed noise. The proposed algorithm is targeted on Xc3e5000-5fg900 FPGA using Xilinx 7.1 compiler version which requires less number of slices, optimum speed and low power when compared to the other median finding architectures.

Robustness of Median Filter For Suppression of Salt and Pepper Noise (SPN) an...CSCJournals
Noises in images are caused by many sources. Image de-noising has remained an active area of research. Results of numerical experiments on the robustness of median filter for suppression of Salt and Pepper Noise (SPN) and Random Valued Impulse Noise (RVIN) of varying noise densities are presented and discussed. Varying densities of SPN and RVIN were simulated and used to corrupt five selected test images which have different image frequencies. The corrupted images were filtered with Median Filters which has 3 by 3 kernel size. The effects of larger kernels were also examined. The performance metrics are the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Gain. SPN is found to have more adverse effects on images than RVIN. However, the Median filter is found to achieve a higher degree of noise suppression with SPN than RVIN. Effects of SPN and RVIN increase with an increase in noise density. Median filtering of SPN and RVIN corrupted images are found to be satisfactory with 3 by 3 kernel for noise densities up to the maximum of 60% and 40% noise densities respectively. Median filter Gain is found to increase with noise density up 40% and then reduce with further increase in noise density. To some extent, there is some correlation between Median filter gain and test image frequency. Using 5 by 5 kernel may improve noise suppression but the resulting filter image is blurred. 3 by 3 is the optimum kernel size.

Optimal and Power Aware BIST for Delay Testing of System-On-ChipIDES Editor
Test engineering for fault tolerant VLSI systems is
encumbered with optimization requisites for hardware
overhead, test power and test time. The high level quality of
these complex high-speed VLSI circuits can be assured only
through delay testing, which involves checking for accurate
temporal behavior. In the present paper, a data-path based
built-in test pattern generator (TPG) that generates iterative
pseudo-exhaustive two-patterns (IPET) for parallel delay
testing of modules with different input cone capacities is
implemented. Further, in the present study a CMOS
implementation of low power architecture (LPA) for scan based
built-in self test (BIST) for delay testing and combinational
testing is carried out. This reduces test power dissipation in
the circuit under test (CUT). Experimental results and
comparisons with pre-existing methods prove the reduction
in hardware overhead and test-time.
Finite Element Simulation and Experiment of Chip Formation Process during Hig...IDES Editor
As an advanced manufacturing technology which
has been developed rapidly in recent years, high speed
machining is widely applied in many industries. The chip
formation during high speed machining is a complicated
material deformation and removing process. In research area
of high speed machining, the prediction of chip morphology is
a hot and difficult topic. A finite element method based on the
software ABAOUS which involves Johnson-Cook material
model and fracture criterion was used to simulate the serrated
chip morphology and cutting force during high speed
machining of AISI 1045 hardened steel. The serrated chip
morphology and cutting force were observed and measured by
high speed machining experiment of AISI 1045 hardened steel.
The effects of rake angle on cutting force, sawtooth degree
and space between sawteeth were discussed. The investigation
indicates that the simulation results are consistent with the
experiments and this finite element simulation method
presented can be used to predict the chip morphology and
cutting force accurately during high speed machining of
hardened steel.
Numerical Simulation of Gaseous Microflows by Lattice Boltzmann MethodIDES Editor
This work is concerned with application of the
Lattice Boltzmznn Method (LBM) to compute flows in microgeometries.
The choice of using LBM for microflow simulation
is a good one owing to the fact that it is based on the Boltzmann
equation which is valid for the whole range of the Knudsen
number. In this work LBM is applied to simulate the pressure
driven microchannel flows and micro lid-driven cavity flows.
First, the microchannel flow is studied in some details with
the effects of varying the Knudsen number, pressure ratio
and Tangential Momemtum Accomodation Coefficient
(TMAC). The pressure distribution and other parameters are
compared with available experimental and analytical data
with good agreement. After having thus established the
credibility of the code and the method including boundary
conditions, LBM is then used to investigate the micro liddriven
cavity flow. The computations are carried out mainly
for the slip regime and the threshold of the transition regime.

IMAGE DENOISING BY MEDIAN FILTER IN WAVELET DOMAINijma
The details of an image with noise may be restored by removing noise through a suitable image de-noising
method. In this research, a new method of image de-noising based on using median filter (MF) in the
wavelet domain is proposed and tested. Various types of wavelet transform filters are used in conjunction
with median filter in experimenting with the proposed approach in order to obtain better results for image
de-noising process, and, consequently to select the best suited filter. Wavelet transform working on the
frequencies of sub-bands split from an image is a powerful method for analysis of images. According to this
experimental work, the proposed method presents better results than using only wavelet transform or
median filter alone. The MSE and PSNR values are used for measuring the improvement in de-noised
images.
Image Denoising Using Earth Mover's Distance and Local HistogramsCSCJournals
In this paper an adaptive range and domain filtering is presented. In the proposed method local histograms are computed to tune the range and domain extensions of bilateral filter. Noise histogram is estimated to measure the noise level at each pixel in the noisy image. The extensions of range and domain filters are determined based on pixel noise level. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively removes the noise while preserves the details. The proposed method performs better than bilateral filter and restored test images have higher PSNR than those obtained by applying popular Bayesshrink wavelet denoising method.

Accelerated Joint Image Despeckling Algorithm in the Wavelet and Spatial DomainsCSCJournals
Noise is one of the most widespread problems present in nearly all imaging applications. In spite of the sophistication of the recently proposed methods, most denoising algorithms have not yet attained a desirable level of applicability. This paper proposes a two-stage algorithm for speckle noise reduction jointly in the wavelet and spatial domains. At the first stage, the optimal parameter value of the spatial speckle reduction filter is estimated, based on edge pixel statistics and noise variance. Then the optimized filter is used at the second stage to additionally smooth the approximation image of the wavelet sub-band. A complexity reduction algorithm for wavelet decomposition is also proposed. The obtained results are highly encouraging in terms of image quality which paves the way towards the reinforcement of the proposed algorithm for the performance enhancement of the Block Matching and 3D Filtering algorithm tackling multiplicative speckle noise.

carried out twicewhich provides better preservation of image details. The presence of high performing detection
stage for the detection noisy pixel makes the proposed method suitable in the case of noiselevels as high as 60%
to 90% random valued impulse noise; the proposed method yields better image quality.
Image Filtering Using all Neighbor Directional Weighted Pixels: Optimization ...sipij
In this paper a novel approach for de noising images corrupted by random valued impulses has been proposed. Noise suppression is done in two steps. The detection of noisy pixels is done using all neighbor directional weighted pixels (ANDWP) in the 5 x 5 window. The filtering scheme is based on minimum variance of the four directional pixels. In this approach, relatively recent category of stochastic global optimization technique i.e., particle swarm optimization (PSO) has also been used for searching the parameters of detection and filtering operators required for optimal performance. Results obtained shows better de noising and preservation of fine details for highly corrupted images.

This paper proposes a new procedure in order to improve the performance of block matching and 3-D filtering (BM3D) image denoising algorithm. It is demonstrated that it is possible to achieve a better performance than that of BM3D algorithm in a variety of noise levels. This method changes BM3D algorithm parameter values according to noise level, removes prefiltering, which is used in high noise level; therefore Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and visual quality get improved, and BM3D complexities and processing time are reduced. This improved BM3D algorithm is extended and used to denoise satellite and color filter array (CFA) images. Output results show that the performance has upgraded in comparison with current methods of denoising satellite and CFA images. In this regard this algorithm is compared with Adaptive PCA algorithm, that has led to superior performance for denoising CFA images, on the subject of PSNR and visual quality. Also the processing time has decreased significantly.

Comparative analysis of filters and wavelet based thresholding methods for im...csandit
Image Denoising is an important part of diverse image processing and computer vision
problems. The important property of a good image denoising model is that it should completely
remove noise as far as possible as well as preserve edges. One of the most powerful and
perspective approaches in this area is image denoising using discrete wavelet transform (DWT).
In this paper comparative analysis of filters and various wavelet based methods has been
carried out. The simulation results show that wavelet based Bayes shrinkage method
outperforms other methods in terms of peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and mean square
error(MSE) and also the comparison of various wavelet families have been discussed in this
paper.
Images of different body organs play very important role in medical diagnosis. Images can be taken
by using different techniques like x-rays, gamma rays, ultrasound etc. Ultrasound images are widely used
as a diagnosis tool because of its non invasive nature and low cost. The medical images which uses the
principle of coherence suffers from speckle noise, which is multiplicative in nature. Ultrasound images are
coherent images so speckle noise is inherited in ultrasound images which occur at the time of image
acquisition. There are many factors which can degrade the quality of image but noise present in ultrasound
image is a prime factor which can negatively affect result while autonomous machine perception. In this
paper we will discuss types of noises and speckle reduction techniques. In the end, study about speckle
reduction in ultrasound of various researchers will be compared.

Study and Analysis of Impulse Noise Reduction Filterssipij
In this paper, a new Decision Based median filtering algorithm is presented for the removal of impulse noise from digital images. Here, we replace the impulse noise corrupted pixel by the median of the pixel scanned in four directions.The signal restoration scheme of this filter adapts to the varied impulse noise ratios while determining an appropriate signal restorer from a reliable neighbourhood. The experimental results of this filter applied on various images corrupted with almost all ratios of impulse noise favour the filter in terms of objectivity and subjectivity than many of the other prominent impulse noise filters.
Nonlinear Transformation Based Detection And Directional Mean Filter to Remo...IJMER
In this paper, a novel two stage algorithm for the removal of random valued impulse noise
from the images is presented. In the first stage the noise pixels are detected by using an exponential
nonlinear function. The transformation of the pixels increases the gap between noisy and noise free
candidates which leads to an efficient detection. In the second stage, the directional differences between
the pixels in the four main directions are calculated. The mean values of the pixels which lie in the
direction of minimum difference are calculated and the noisy pixel values are replaced with the mean
value of the pixels lying in the direction of minimum difference. Experimental results show that proposed
method is superior to the conventional methods in peak signal to noise ratio.
Image denoising is the basic problem in digital image processing. Removing Noise from the image is the main task to denoise the image. Salt & pepper (Impulse) noise and the additive white Gaussian noise and blurredness are the types of noise that occur during transmission and capturing. To remove these types of noise we have many filters like mean filter, median filter, inverse filter, wiener filter. No single one filter can remove both types of noise. So I design a hybrid filter which can be used to denoise these both types of noises from the image.

Artificial Intelligence Technique based Reactive Power Planning Incorporating...IDES Editor
Reactive Power Planning is a major concern in the
operation and control of power systems This paper compares
the effectiveness of Evolutionary Programming (EP) and
New Improved Differential Evolution (NIMDE) to solve
Reactive Power Planning (RPP) problem incorporating
FACTS Controllers like Static VAR Compensator (SVC),
Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) and Unified
power flow controller (UPFC) considering voltage stability.
With help of Fast Voltage Stability Index (FVSI), the critical
lines and buses are identified to install the FACTS controllers.
The optimal settings of the control variables of the generator
voltages,transformer tap settings and allocation and parameter
settings of the SVC,TCSC,UPFC are considered for reactive
power planning. The test and Validation of the proposed
algorithm are conducted on IEEE 30–bus system and 72-bus
Indian system.Simulation results shows that the UPFC gives
better results than SVC and TCSC and the FACTS controllers
reduce the system losses.
Optimal Placement of DG for Loss Reduction and Voltage Sag Mitigation in Radi...IDES Editor
This paper presents the need to operate the power
system economically and with optimum levels of voltages has
further led to an increase in interest in Distributed
Generation. In order to reduce the power losses and to improve
the voltage in the distribution system, distributed generators
(DGs) are connected to load bus. To reduce the total power
losses in the system, the most important process is to identify
the proper location for fixing and sizing of DGs. It presents a
new methodology using a new population based meta heuristic
approach namely Artificial Bee Colony algorithm(ABC) for
the placement of Distributed Generators(DG) in the radial
distribution systems to reduce the real power losses and to
improve the voltage profile, voltage sag mitigation. The power
loss reduction is important factor for utility companies because
it is directly proportional to the company benefits in a
competitive electricity market, while reaching the better power
quality standards is too important as it has vital effect on
customer orientation. In this paper an ABC algorithm is
developed to gain these goals all together. In order to evaluate
sag mitigation capability of the proposed algorithm, voltage
in voltage sensitive buses is investigated. An existing 20KV
network has been chosen as test network and results are
compared with the proposed method in the radial distribution
system.
Line Losses in the 14-Bus Power System Network using UPFCIDES Editor
Controlling power flow in modern power systems
can be made more flexible by the use of recent developments
in power electronic and computing control technology. The
Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a Flexible AC
transmission system (FACTS) device that can control all the
three system variables namely line reactance, magnitude and
phase angle difference of voltage across the line. The UPFC
provides a promising means to control power flow in modern
power systems. Essentially the performance depends on proper
control setting achievable through a power flow analysis
program. This paper presents a reliable method to meet the
requirements by developing a Newton-Raphson based load
flow calculation through which control settings of UPFC can
be determined for the pre-specified power flow between the
lines. The proposed method keeps Newton-Raphson Load Flow
(NRLF) algorithm intact and needs (little modification in the
Jacobian matrix). A MATLAB program has been developed to
calculate the control settings of UPFC and the power flow
between the lines after the load flow is converged. Case studies
have been performed on IEEE 5-bus system and 14-bus system
to show that the proposed method is effective. These studies
indicate that the method maintains the basic NRLF properties
such as fast computational speed, high degree of accuracy and
good convergence rate.
Study of Structural Behaviour of Gravity Dam with Various Features of Gallery...IDES Editor
The size and shape of opening in dam causes the
stress concentration, it also causes the stress variation in the
rest of the dam cross section. The gravity method of the analysis
does not consider the size of opening and the elastic property
of dam material. Thus the objective of study is comprises of
the Finite Element Method which considers the size of
opening, elastic property of material, and stress distribution
because of geometric discontinuity in cross section of dam.
Stress concentration inside the dam increases with the opening
in dam which results in the failure of dam. Hence it is
necessary to analyses large opening inside the dam. By making
the percentage area of opening constant and varying size and
shape of opening the analysis is carried out. For this purpose
a section of Koyna Dam is considered. Dam is defined as a
plane strain element in FEM, based on geometry and loading
condition. Thus this available information specified our path
of approach to carry out 2D plane strain analysis. The results
obtained are then compared mutually to get most efficient
way of providing large opening in the gravity dam.
Assessing Uncertainty of Pushover Analysis to Geometric ModelingIDES Editor
Pushover Analysis a popular tool for seismic
performance evaluation of existing and new structures and is
nonlinear Static procedure where in monotonically increasing
loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable
to resist the further load .During the analysis, whatever the
strength of concrete and steel is adopted for analysis of
structure may not be the same when real structure is
constructed and the pushover analysis results are very sensitive
to material model adopted, geometric model adopted, location
of plastic hinges and in general to procedure followed by the
analyzer. In this paper attempt has been made to assess
uncertainty in pushover analysis results by considering user
defined hinges and frame modeled as bare frame and frame
with slab modeled as rigid diaphragm and results compared
with experimental observations. Uncertain parameters
considered includes the strength of concrete, strength of steel
and cover to the reinforcement which are randomly generated
and incorporated into the analysis. The results are then
compared with experimental observations.
Secure Multi-Party Negotiation: An Analysis for Electronic Payments in Mobile...IDES Editor
This paper is an attempt to base on auctions which
presents a frame work for the secure multi-party decision
protocols. In addition to the implementations which are very
light weighted, the main focus is on synchronizing security
features for avoiding agreements manipulations and reducing
the user traffic. Through this paper one can understand that
this different auction protocols on top of the frame work can
be collaborated using mobile devices. This paper present the
negotiation between auctioneer and the proffered and this
negotiation shows that multiparty security is far better than
the existing system.
Selfish Node Isolation & Incentivation using Progressive ThresholdsIDES Editor
The problems associated with selfish nodes in
MANET are addressed by a collaborative watchdog approach
which reduces the detection time for selfish nodes thereby
improves the performance and accuracy of watchdogs[1]. In
the related works they make use of credit based systems, reputation
based mechanisms, pathrater and watchdog mechanism
to detect such selfish nodes. In this paper we follow an approach
of collaborative watchdog which reduces the detection
time for selfish nodes and also involves the removal of such
selfish nodes based on some progressively assessed thresholds.
The threshold gives the nodes a chance to stop misbehaving
before it is permanently deleted from the network.
The node passes through several isolation processes before it
is permanently removed. Another version of AODV protocol
is used here which allows the simulation of selfish nodes in
NS2 by adding or modifying log files in the protocol.
Various OSI Layer Attacks and Countermeasure to Enhance the Performance of WS...IDES Editor
Wireless sensor networks are networks having non
wired infrastructure and dynamic topology. In OSI model each
layer is prone to various attacks, which halts the performance
of a network .In this paper several attacks on four layers of
OSI model are discussed and security mechanism is described
to prevent attack in network layer i.e wormhole attack. In
Wormhole attack two or more malicious nodes makes a covert
channel which attracts the traffic towards itself by depicting a
low latency link and then start dropping and replaying packets
in the multi-path route. This paper proposes promiscuous mode
method to detect and isolate the malicious node during
wormhole attack by using Ad-hoc on demand distance vector
routing protocol (AODV) with omnidirectional antenna. The
methodology implemented notifies that the nodes which are
not participating in multi-path routing generates an alarm
message during delay and then detects and isolate the
malicious node from network. We also notice that not only
the same kind of attacks but also the same kind of
countermeasures can appear in multiple layer. For example,
misbehavior detection techniques can be applied to almost all
the layers we discussed.
Responsive Parameter based an AntiWorm Approach to Prevent Wormhole Attack in...IDES Editor
The recent advancements in the wireless technology
and their wide-spread deployment have made remarkable
enhancements in efficiency in the corporate and industrial
and Military sectors The increasing popularity and usage of
wireless technology is creating a need for more secure wireless
Ad hoc networks. This paper aims researched and developed
a new protocol that prevents wormhole attacks on a ad hoc
network. A few existing protocols detect wormhole attacks but
they require highly specialized equipment not found on most
wireless devices. This paper aims to develop a defense against
wormhole attacks as an Anti-worm protocol which is based on
responsive parameters, that does not require as a significant
amount of specialized equipment, trick clock synchronization,
no GPS dependencies.
Cloud Security and Data Integrity with Client Accountability FrameworkIDES Editor
The Cloud based services provide much efficient
and seamless ways for data sharing across the cloud. The fact
that the data owners no longer possess data makes it very
difficult to assure data confidentiality and to enable secure
data sharing in the cloud. Despite of all its advantages this
will remain a major limitation that acts as a barrier to the
wider deployment of cloud based services. One of the possible
ways for ensuring trust in this aspect is the introduction of
accountability feature in the cloud computing scenario. The
Cloud framework requires promotion of distributed
accountability for such dynamic environment[1]. In some
works, there‘s an accountable framework suggested to ensure
distributed accountability for data sharing by the generation
of only a log of data access, but without any embedded feedback
mechanism for owner permission towards data
protection[2].The proposed system is an enhanced client
accountability framework which provides an additional client
side verification for each access towards enhanced security of
data. The integrity of content of data which resides in the
cloud service provider is also maintained by secured
outsourcing. Besides, the authentication of JAR(Java Archive)
files are done to ensure file protection and to maintain a safer
environment for data sharing. The analysis of various
functionalities of the framework depicts both the
accountability and security feature in an efficient manner.
Genetic Algorithm based Layered Detection and Defense of HTTP BotnetIDES Editor
A System state in HTTP botnet uses HTTP protocol
for the creation of chain of Botnets thereby compromising
other systems. By using HTTP protocol and port number 80,
attacks can not only be hidden but also pass through the
firewall without being detected. The DPR based detection
leads to better analysis of botnet attacks [3]. However, it
provides only probabilistic detection of the attacker and also
time consuming and error prone. This paper proposes a Genetic
algorithm based layered approach for detecting as well as
preventing botnet attacks. The paper reviews p2p firewall
implementation which forms the basis of filtering.
Performance evaluation is done based on precision, F-value
and probability. Layered approach reduces the computation
and overall time requirement [7]. Genetic algorithm promises
a low false positive rate.
Enhancing Data Storage Security in Cloud Computing Through SteganographyIDES Editor
in cloud computing data storage is a significant issue
because the entire data reside over a set of interconnected
resource pools that enables the data to be accessed through
virtual machines. It moves the application software’s and
databases to the large data centers where the management of
data is actually done. As the resource pools are situated over
various corners of the world, the management of data and
services may not be fully trustworthy. So, there are various
issues that need to be addressed with respect to the
management of data, service of data, privacy of data, security
of data etc. But the privacy and security of data is highly
challenging. To ensure privacy and security of data-at-rest in
cloud computing, we have proposed an effective and a novel
approach to ensure data security in cloud computing by means
of hiding data within images following is the concept of
steganography. The main objective of this paper is to prevent
data access from cloud data storage centers by unauthorized
users. This scheme perfectly stores data at cloud data storage
centers and retrieves data from it when it is needed.
The main tasks of a Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) are data collection from its nodes and communication
of this data to the base station (BS). The protocols used for
communication among the WSN nodes and between the WSN
and the BS, must consider the resource constraints of nodes,
battery energy, computational capabilities and memory. The
WSN applications involve unattended operation of the network
over an extended period of time. In order to extend the lifetime
of a WSN, efficient routing protocols need to be adopted. The
proposed low power routing protocol based on tree-based
network structure reliably forwards the measured data towards
the BS using TDMA. An energy consumption analysis of the
WSN making use of this protocol is also carried out. It is
found that the network is energy efficient with an average
duty cycle of 0:7% for the WSN nodes. The OmNET++
simulation platform along with MiXiM framework is made
use of.
Permutation of Pixels within the Shares of Visual Cryptography using KBRP for...IDES Editor
The security of authentication of internet based
co-banking services should not be susceptible to high risks.
The passwords are highly vulnerable to virus attacks due to
the lack of high end embedding of security methods. In order
for the passwords to be more secure, people are generally
compelled to select jumbled up character based passwords
which are not only less memorable but are also equally prone
to insecurity. Multiple use of distributed shares has been
studied to solve the problem of authentication by algorithms
based on thresholding of pixels in image processing and visual
cryptography concepts where the subset of shares is considered
for the recovery of the original image for authentication using
correlation function[1][2].The main disadvantage in the above
study is the plain storage of shares and also one of the shares
is being supplied to the customer, which will lead to the
possibility of misuse by a third party. This paper proposes a
technique for scrambling of pixels by key based random
permutation (KBRP) within the shares before the
authentication has been attempted. Total number of shares to
be created is dependent on the multiplicity of ownership of
the account. By this method the problem of uncertainty among
the customers with regard to security, storage, retrieval of
holding of half of the shares is minimized.
This paper presents a trifocal Rotman Lens Design
approach. The effects of focal ratio and element spacing on
the performance of Rotman Lens are described. A three beam
prototype feeding 4 element antenna array working in L-band
has been simulated using RLD v1.7 software. Simulated
results show that the simulated lens has a return loss of –
12.4dB at 1.8GHz. Beam to array port phase error variation
with change in the focal ratio and element spacing has also
been investigated.
Band Clustering for the Lossless Compression of AVIRIS Hyperspectral ImagesIDES Editor
Hyperspectral images can be efficiently compressed
through a linear predictive model, as for example the one
used in the SLSQ algorithm. In this paper we exploit this
predictive model on the AVIRIS images by individuating,
through an off-line approach, a common subset of bands, which
are not spectrally related with any other bands. These bands
are not useful as prediction reference for the SLSQ 3-D
predictive model and we need to encode them via other
prediction strategies which consider only spatial correlation.
We have obtained this subset by clustering the AVIRIS bands
via the clustering by compression approach. The main result
of this paper is the list of the bands, not related with the
others, for AVIRIS images. The clustering trees obtained for
AVIRIS and the relationship among bands they depict is also
an interesting starting point for future research.
Microelectronic Circuit Analogous to Hydrogen Bonding Network in Active Site ...IDES Editor
A microelectronic circuit of block-elements
functionally analogous to two hydrogen bonding networks is
investigated. The hydrogen bonding networks are extracted
from â-lactamase protein and are formed in its active site.
Each hydrogen bond of the network is described in equivalent
electrical circuit by three or four-terminal block-element.
Each block-element is coded in Matlab. Static and dynamic
analyses are performed. The resultant microelectronic circuit
analogous to the hydrogen bonding network operates as
current mirror, sine pulse source, triangular pulse source as
well as signal modulator.
Texture Unit based Monocular Real-world Scene Classification using SOM and KN...IDES Editor
In this paper a method is proposed to discriminate
real world scenes in to natural and manmade scenes of similar
depth. Global-roughness of a scene image varies as a function
of image-depth. Increase in image depth leads to increase in
roughness in manmade scenes; on the contrary natural scenes
exhibit smooth behavior at higher image depth. This particular
arrangement of pixels in scene structure can be well explained
by local texture information in a pixel and its neighborhood.
Our proposed method analyses local texture information of a
scene image using texture unit matrix. For final classification
we have used both supervised and unsupervised learning using
K-Nearest Neighbor classifier (KNN) and Self Organizing
Map (SOM) respectively. This technique is useful for online
classification due to very less computational complexity.
Mental Stress Evaluation using an Adaptive ModelIDES Editor
Chronic stress can have serious physiological and
psychological impact on an individual’s health. Wearable
sensor systems can enable physicians to monitor physiological
variables and observe the impact of stress over long periods of
time. To correlate an individual’s physiological measures with
their perception of psychological stress, it is essential that
the stress monitoring system accounts for individual
differences in self-reporting. Self-reporting of stress is highly
subjective as it is dependent on an individual’s perception of
stress and thus prone to errors. In addition, subjects can tailor
their answers to present their behavior more favorably. In
this paper we present an adaptive model which allows recorded
stress scores and physiological variables to be tuned to remove
biases in self-reported scores. The model takes an individual’s
physiological and psychological responses into account and
adapts to the user’s variations. Using our adaptive model,
physiological data is mapped efficiently to perceived stress
levels with 90% accuracy.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
