Abstract Object tracking is an interesting and needed procedure for many real time applications. But it is a challenging one, because of the presence of challenging sequences with abrupt motion, drastic illumination change, large pose variation, occlusion, cluttered background and also the camera shake. This paper presents a novel method of object tracking by using the algorithms spatio-temporal Markov random field (STMRF) and online discriminative feature selection (ODFS), which overcome the above mentioned problems and provide a better tracking process. This method is also capable of tracking multiple objects in video sequence even in the presence of an object interactions and occlusions that achieves better results with real time performance. Keywords: Video object tracking, spatio-temporal Markov random field (ST-MRF), online discriminative feature selection (ODFS).

Development of Human Tracking System For Video Surveillancecscpconf
Visual surveillance in dynamic scenes, especially for human and some objects is one of the
most active research areas. An attempt has been made to this issue in this work. It has wide
spectrum of promising application including human identification to detect the suspicious
behavior, crowd flux statistics, and congestion analysis using multiple cameras.
In this paper deals with the problem of detecting and tracking multiple moving people in a static
background. Detection of foreground object is done by background subtraction. Detected
objects are identified and analyzed through different blobs. Then tracking is performed by
matching corresponding features of blob. An algorithm has been developed in this perspective
using Angular Deviation of Center of Gravity (ADCG), which gives a satisfying result for segmentation of human object.
We presents a technique for moving objects extraction. There are several different approaches for moving object extraction, clustering is one of object extraction method with a stronger teorical foundation used in many applications. And need high performance in many extraction process of moving object. We compare K-Means and Self-Organizing Map method for extraction moving objects, for performance measurement of moving object extraction by applying MSE and PSNR. According to experimental result that the MSE value of K-Means is smaller than Self-Organizing Map. It is also that PSNR of K-Means is higher than Self-Organizing Map algorithm. The result proves that K-Means is a promising method to cluster pixels in moving objects extraction.

Background subtraction is typically one of the first steps carried out in motion detection using static video cameras. This paper presents a novel method for background removal that processes only some pixels of each image. Some regions of interest of the objects in the image or frame are located with the help of edge detector. Once the region is detected only that area will be segmented instead of processing the whole image. This method achieves a significant reduction in computation time that can be used for subsequent image analysis. In this paper we detect the foreground object with the help of edge detector and combine the Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm to segment the object by means of subtracting the current frame from the previous frame, the accurate background is identified.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS USING SINGLE SEEDED REGION GROWING ALGORITHMAM Publications
Image segmentation is an important process and its results are used in many image processing
applications. Color images can increase the quality of segmentation, but increase the complexity of the problem. This
paper focuses on measurement of parameters that is RI,GCE,MMSE and time for segmentation using "Seeded Region
growing algorithm". Image segmentation techniques using region growing requires initial seeds selection, which
increases computational cost & execution time. To overcome this problem, a single seeded region growing technique for
image segmentation is proposed, which starts from the center pixel of the image as the initial seed. It grows region
according to the grow formula and selects the next seed from connected pixel of the region. The optimization is done
with fuzzy logic to improve the value of parameters.
Objects detection and tracking using fast principle component purist and kalm...IJECEIAES
The detection and tracking of moving objects attracted a lot of concern because of the vast computer vision applications. This paper proposes a new algorithm based on several methods for identifying, detecting, and tracking an object in order to develop an effective and efficient system in several applications. This algorithm has three main parts: the first part for background modeling and foreground extraction, the second part for smoothing, filtering and detecting moving objects within the video frame and the last part includes tracking and prediction of detected objects. In this proposed work, a new algorithm to detect moving objects from video data is designed by the Fast Principle Component Purist (FPCP). Then we used an optimal filter that performs well to reduce noise through the median filter. The Fast Regionconvolution neural networks (Fast- RCNN) is used to add smoothness to the spatial identification of objects and their areas. Then the detected object is tracked by Kalman Filter. Experimental results show that our algorithm adapts to different situations and outperforms many existing algorithms.
A Novel Multiple-kernel based Fuzzy c-means Algorithm with Spatial Informatio...CSCJournals
Fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm has proved its effectiveness for image segmentation. However, still it lacks in getting robustness to noise and outliers, especially in the absence of prior knowledge of the noise. To overcome this problem, a generalized a novel multiple-kernel fuzzy cmeans (FCM) (NMKFCM) methodology with spatial information is introduced as a framework for image-segmentation problem. The algorithm utilizes the spatial neighborhood membership values in the standard kernels are used in the kernel FCM (KFCM) algorithm and modifies the membership weighting of each cluster. The proposed NMKFCM algorithm provides a new flexibility to utilize different pixel information in image-segmentation problem. The proposed algorithm is applied to brain MRI which degraded by Gaussian noise and Salt-Pepper noise. The proposed algorithm performs more robust to noise than other existing image segmentation algorithms from FCM family.
Removal of Transformation Errors by Quarterion In Multi View Image RegistrationIDES Editor
This method is based upon the image registration
process and the application is when the text which is to be
identified is behind the mesh which works as a hurdle. We
know that the mesh as hurdle can be made less irritating by
either moving the camera or the source itself. The method
uses Radon Transform for extracting the mesh lines and
capturing the position of the mesh lines. The final process of
filling the deformed image is through the registration. The
method is adaptive to movement in any direction. The
transformation errors are removed by the Quarterions. It was
tested on a number of images [200] approximately and gave
excellent results.
3-D FFT Moving Object Signatures for Velocity FilteringIDES Editor
In this paper a bank of velocity filters is devised to
be used for isolating a moving object with specific velocity
(amplitude and direction) in a sequence of frames. The
approach used is a 3-D FFT based experimental procedure
without applying any theoretical concept from velocity filters.
Accordingly, each velocity filter is built using the spectral
signature of an object moving with specific velocity.
Experimentation reveals the capabilities of the constructed
filter bank to separate moving objects as far as the amplitude
as well as the direction of the velocity are concerned.
Accordingly, weak objects can be detected when moving with
different velocity close to strong vehicles. Accelerating objects
can be detected only on the part of their trajectory they have
the specific velocity. Problems which arise due to the
discontinuities at the edges of the frame sequences are
discussed.
FUZZY SEGMENTATION OF MRI CEREBRAL TISSUE USING LEVEL SET ALGORITHMAM Publications
The current study investigated a median filter with the fuzzy level set method to propose fuzzy segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cerebral tissue images. An MRI image was used as an input image. A median filter and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering were utilized to remove image noise and create image clusters, respectively. The image clusters showed initial and final cluster centers. The level set method was then used for segmentation after separating and extracting white matter from gray matter. Fuzzy c-means was sensitive to the choice of the initial cluster center. Improper center selection caused the method to produce suboptimal solutions. The proposed algorithm was successfully utilized to segment MRI cerebral tissue images. The algorithm efficiently performed segmentation of test MRI cerebral tissue images compared with algorithms proposed in previous studies.
New Approach for Detecting and Tracking a Moving Object IJECEIAES
This article presents the implementation of a tracking system for a moving target using a fixed camera. The objective of this work is the ability to detect a moving object and locate their positions. In picture processing, tracking moving objects in a known or unknown environment is commonly studied. It is based on invariance properties of objects of interest. The invariance can affect the geometry of the scene or the objects. The proposed approach is composed of several steps; the first is the extraction of points of interest in the current image. Then, these points will be tracked in the following image by using techniques for calculating the optical flow. After this step, the static points will be removed to focus on moving objects, That is to say, there is only the characteristic points belonging to moving objects. Now, to detect moving targets using images of the video, the background is first extracted from the successive images. In our approach, a method of the average values of every pixel has been developed for modeling background. The last step which stays before switching to tracking moving object is the segmentation which allows identifying every moving object. And by using the characteristic points in the previous steps.
Computer vision has received great attention over the last two decades.
This research field is important not only in security-related software, but also in advanced interface between people and computers, advanced control methods and many other areas.

Abstract Now a days due to many civil engineering constructions through out the globe the usage of natural sand is very large and so it is slowly becoming scarce. Because of this main reason in the present days the usage of Robo sand or Crushed or artificial sand has gained momentum. This paper presents a brief study on the flexural behaviour of fibre reinforced ferrocement elements made with artificial sand(Robo sand).Nearly 30 mortar cubes and 180 flexural specimens were cast and tested with the variables such as different percentages of steel fibre, number of wire mesh layers and different span to depth ratios (a/d) etc,. From the results it is observed that with the increase in percentage of fibres the compressive strength of mortar, first crack load, ultimate load in flexure, flexural stress at first crack load, flexural stress at ultimate load and energy absorption increase up to certain extent and afterwards get decreased. Also the above strength parameters are found to increase with number of wire mesh layers. More so the above strengths are found to decrease with the increase in a/d ratio except the flexural stresses at first crack load and ultimate load. Besides the paper presents the behaviour of load – deflection variation and crack pattern for number of variables studied. Further a comparative study of the behaviour of robo sand specimens with those of the natural sand has been studied. Finally an analytical model has been proposed for Mcr and Mu with the inclusion of the most of the variables used in the present investigation. Keywords: Robosand, Span to Depth ratio (a/d), Volume percentage of fibres (Vf), Number of Mesh Layers (N).
Performance evaluation of modified modular exponentiation for rsa algorithmeSAT Journals
Abstract
Authentication is a very important application of public-key cryptography. Cryptographic algorithms make use of secret keys
known to send and receive information. When the keys are known the encryption / decryption process is an easy task, however
decryption will be impossible without knowing the correct key. The shared public key is managed by the sender, to produce a
message authentication code (MAC) for every transmitted message. There are many algorithms to enable security for message
authentication (secret key). RSA is one such best algorithm for public key based message authentication approaches. But it takes
more time for encryption and/or decryption process, when it has large key length. This research work evaluates the performance
of RSA algorithm with modified modular exponentiation technique for message authentication. As a result modified modular
exponent based RSA algorithm reduces execution time for encryption and decryption process.

Fault diagnosis using genetic algorithms and principal curveseSAT Journals
Abstract Several applications of nonlinear principal component analysis (NPCA) have appeared recently in process monitoring and fault diagnosis. In this paper a new approach is proposed for fault detection based on principal curves and genetic algorithms. The principal curve is a generation of linear principal component (PCA) introduced by Hastie as a parametric curve passes satisfactorily through the middle of data. The existing principal curves algorithms employ the first component of the data as an initial estimation of principal curve. However the dependence on initial line leads to a lack of flexibility and the final curve is only satisfactory for specific problems. In this paper we extend this work in two ways. First, we propose a new method based on genetic algorithms to find the principal curve. Here, lines are fitted and connected to form polygonal lines (PL). Second, potential application of principal curves is discussed. An example is used to illustrate fault diagnosis of nonlinear process using the proposed approach.

Nonlinear prediction of human resting state functional connectivity based on ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Mounting evidence demonstrated that neuronal activity derived from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) relates to the
underlying anatomical circuitry measured by diffusion tensor/spectrum imaging (DTI/DSI). However, exploring the relationship
between functional connectivity (FC) and structural connectivity (SC) remains challengeable and thus has motivated a number of
computational models to investigate the extent to which the dynamics depend on the topology. Nevertheless, most of the models
are complex and difficult to treat analytically. In this paper, for simplicity, we utilize four network communication measures
extracted from SC as well as polynomial curves fitting method to predict FC. Our results indicate that all of these measures
predict FC via the nonlinear fitting method. Besides, compared with the linear method, the fitting value between predicted FC and
empirical FC attains higher after applying nonlinear process on communication measures which may help to shed light on the
function-structure relationship.

Alternative fundings to improve road safety in malaysiaeSAT Journals
Abstract Road safety is a major transport, health and social issue worldwide as an estimated 1.3 million road users are killed on the roads every year, of which 90% are in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), where 72% of the world’s population lives but only half of the world’s registered vehicles are owned and driven. In terms of cost, it is estimated that USD 518 billion of lost yearly has been recorded according to the World Health Organisation, WHO (2009). These poor road safety records require immediate actions to be taken in areas of management, institutional reform and funding. Malaysia is an established dynamic and progressive LMIC seeking to improve its road safety performance and until today it depends mostly on the government’s revenues to finance its road safety plans. This practice however may cause burden to the government yearly budget which also need to cater for other sectors such as education, health and defence. To this end, this paper explores and critically evaluates the current situation of road safety inclusive of its funding mechanisms on a global scale as well as in Malaysia. In an effort to improve the situation, the paper aims at analysing the effectiveness of funding mechanism in enhancing road safety. A number of examples of successful road funding mechanism worldwide are presented together with implementation issues with the view to suggest options to improve road safety management and financing at both national and local level in Malaysia.

Abstract Recently, AC distribution systems have experienced high harmonic pollution due to the fact that electrical power system
parameters are often mixed with noise. In an ideal situation, AC power system is supposed to have a constant frequency at
specific voltage but owing to presence of connected nonlinear loads and injection into the grid from non-sinusoidal output active
sources etc., have immensely contributed to the total distortion of the both current and voltage waveforms. This has increased the
system loses and consequently affected other connected equipment in the system. Therefore there is a need to mitigate these effects
if they cannot be eliminated intoto, hence the proposition of Kalman filter. It has been very useful in the aspect of electrical power
discipline particularly in harmonic estimation. It has also find it way in the application of power system dynamics, optimal
operation and control of motor, relay operation and protection, and also for accurate prediction of short and medium term
electrical load forecasting. This paper is to highlight on the significant of Kalman filter methodological approach as adopted in

An input enhancement technique to maximize the performance of page replacemen...eSAT Journals
Abstract One of the main goals of the memory management is to allow multiprogramming. Several strategies are used to allocate a memory to the process needed. These strategies require the entire process should be in the memory before execution and some of these strategies suffer from fragmentation. Virtual memory does not require entire process to be in memory before execution. It loads only those pages of the process in to the memory that are needed for execution. This can be achieved using paging scheme having number of frames in the memory to accommodate for each pages. Whenever one of the page in the memory need to be replaced, one of the page replacement algorithms are used. The performance of these page replacement algorithms depends on the total number of page faults achieved. In this paper, a new algorithm called Comparison Counting FIFO (CC-FIFO) and Distribution Counting FIFO (DC-FIFO) has been proposed using input enhancement technique. Our results and calculations show that the proposed algorithm minimizes the page fault rate compared to FIFO, LRU and Optimal page replacement algorithms.

Design and development of intelligent electronics travelling aid for visually...eSAT Journals
Abstract The dynamic nature of the environment poses a big challenge to the visually impaired in navigation. This compels most of the visually impaired persons in the developing countries, who generally do not get any technology support, to depend on the visual sense of others, thus, undermining their independence. The intelligent electronic travelling aid for the visually impaired (IETA-VI) designed and developed by the authors and reported here, intends to provide solution to the navigational challenges of the visually impaired individuals. The system utilizes the ultrasonic detection technology for detecting any obstacle in his/her path, and then converts the distance to the obstacle into voice using voice synthesis technology so as to inform the visually impaired user. The device uses GPS and GSM technologies to determine the location of the user and to send this location to his/her care givers on mobile phone, respectively. The device also recognizes the voice signals of the visually impaired when in distress, by making use of voice recognition technology and send SMS to his care givers giving his location and asking them to help him. In a moment of emergency, when the visually impaired requires the attention of his/her care givers, the device provides three alternatives: The first alternative it provides is an emergency key, which when pressed will automatically send the location of the visually impaired to the care givers. The second alternative is that the visually impaired shouts (gives a voice command), the device responds by sending the location of the visually impaired to the care givers. The third alternatives take care of the situation when the user is unconscious or cannot even speak. This is provided by the display device, which displays the names and contact details of his/her care givers, so that someone can offer a helping hand. KEYWORDS: Ultrasonic detection, Voice recognition, Voice synthesis, GPS, GSM.

Finite element modeling and bending stress analysis of non standard spur geareSAT Journals
Abstract Gears are toothed wheels, transmitting power and motion from one shaft to another by means of successive engagement of teeth. Having a higher degree of reliability, compactness, high velocity ratio and finally able to transmit motion at a very low velocity, gears are gaining importance as the most efficient means for transmitting power. A gearing system is susceptible to problems such as interference, backlash and undercut. The contact portions of tooth profiles that are not conjugate is called interference. Furthermore due to interference and in the absence of undercut, the involute tip or face of the driven gear tends to dig out the non-involute flank of the driver. The response of a spur gear and its wear is an engineering problem that has not been completely overcome yet. With the perspective of overcoming such defects and for increase the efficiency of gearing system, the use of a non-standard spur gear i.e., an asymmetric spur gear having different pressure angles for drive and coast side of the tooth comes into picture. This paper emphasis on the generation of an asymmetric spur gear tooth using modeling software and bending stress at the root of Asymmetric spur gear tooth is estimated by finite element analysis using ANSYS software and results were compared with the standard spur gear tooth. Keywords: Asymmetric spur gear, Bending stress, Finite element method, Pressure angle
Fatigue life estimation of rear fuselage structure of an aircrafteSAT Journals
Abstract Integrity of the airframe structure is achieved through rigorous design calculations, stress analysis and structural testing. Finite element method (FEM) is widely used for stress analysis of structural components. Each component in the airframe becomes critical based on the load distribution, which in-turn depends on the attitude of the aircraft during flight. Fuselage and wing are the two major components in the airframe structure. The current study includes a portion of the fuselage structure. Empennage is the rear portion of the aircraft, which consists of rear fuselage, Horizontal tail and vertical tail. The air loads acting on the HT also get transferred to rear portion of the fuselage. First step in ensuring the safety of the structure is the identification of critical locations for crack initiation. This can be achieved through detailed stress analysis of the airframe In this project one of the major stress concentration areas in the fuselage is considered for the analysis. Rear fuselage portion with a cargo door cutout region will be analysed. The structure considered for the stress analysis consists of skin, bulkheads and longerons, which are connected to each other through rivets. Aerodynamic load acting on the aircraft components is a distributed load. Depending on the mass distribution of the fuselage structure the inertia forces will vary along the length of the fuselage. The inertia force distribution makes the fuselage to bend about wing axis. During upward bending, bottom portion of the fuselage will experience tensile stress. A cutout region in the tensile stress field will experience high stress due to concentration effect. These high stress regions will be probable fatigue crack initiation locations in the current work, fatigue damage calculation will be carried out to estimate the fatigue life of the structure under the fluctuating loads experienced during flight. Miner’s rule will be adopted for fatigue damage calculation. Keywords: Transport aircraft, Rear fuselage, Cargo door, Finite element method, Stress concentration, Fatigue damage, Miner’ rule

Implementation of ac induction motor control using constant vhz principle and...eSAT Journals
Abstract
This paper presents the hardware implementation of V/f control of induction motor using sine wave PWM method. Because of its
simplicity, the V/F control also called as the scalar control, is the most widely used speed control method in the industrial
applications. In this method the ratio between stator voltage to frequency is maintained constant so that the stator flux is
maintained constant. As the stator flux is maintained constant, the torque developed by the motor depends only on the slip speed
and is independent of the supply frequency. Thus we can control the speed and torque of induction motor by simply controlling the
slip speed of induction motor. The complete control is achieved with the help of TMS320F28027 Development Board. One of the
basic requirements of this scheme is the PWM inverter. The gating signals are generated using sine wave PWM technique.
Implementation issues such as PWM signal generation, ramp control, v/f control, inverter design are discussed. The results are
discussed based on the various waveforms.

Design & analysis of needle roller bearing at gudgeon pin of ginning machineeSAT Journals
Abstract
Needle roller bearings have high load carrying capacity although it have small cylindrical roller having low cross section,
thus it used in application where space limitation is the important factor along with high dynamic loading capacity. So in
ginning machine where space is limited for driving the mechanism a Needle roller bearing having diameter of 20 mm is
used in between connecting rod and head pin to give the relative motion between parts. As the continuous impacting of
repetitive load on bearing, it fails with in shorter period of time if proper lubricant is not supplied by grease gun after 2 to 3
hours. While bearing are considered under observation it is found that bearing are fail due to brinnelling. So design and
analysis of needle roller bearing is vital to calculate the life of bearing and to make sure whether this bearing is suitable or
not. So it becomes mandatory in designing to calculate radial load applied on bearing as the bearing is rolling contact
bearing, from this life of the bearing can be calculated and finally analysis by ANSYS software is done to find the result so
that we can conclude for bearing.

An optimized framework for detection and tracking of video objects in challen...ijma
Segmentation and tracking are two important aspects in visual surveillance systems. Many barriers such as
cluttered background, camera movements, and occlusion make the robust detection and tracking a difficult
problem, especially in case of multiple moving objects. Object detection in the presence of camera noise
and with variable or unfavourable luminance conditions is still an active area of research. This paper
propose a framework which can effectively detect the moving objects and track them despite of occlusion
and a priori knowledge of objects in the scene. The segmentation step uses a robust threshold decision
algorithm which uses a multi-background model. The video object tracking is able to track multiple objects
along with their trajectories based on Continuous Energy Minimization. In this work, an effective
formulation of multi-target tracking as minimization of a continuous energy is combined with multibackground
registration. Apart from the recent approaches, it focus on making use of an energy that
corresponds to a more complete representation of the problem, rather than one that is amenable to global
optimization. Besides the image evidence, the energy function considers physical constraints, such as target
dynamics, mutual exclusion, and track persistence. The proposed tracking framework is able to track
multiple objects despite of occlusions under dynamic background conditions.

Object Capturing In A Cluttered Scene By Using Point Feature MatchingIJERA Editor
Capturing means getting or catching. This project contains an algorithm for capturing a specific target based on the points which corresponds between reference and target image. It can capture the objects in-plane rotation and also effective to small amount of out-of plane rotation also. This method of object capturing works best for objects that exhibit in a cluttered texture patterns, which give rise to unique point feature matches. When a part of object is occluded by other objects in the scene, only features of that part are missed. As long as there are enough features detected in the unoccluded part, the object can captured. The local representation is based on the appearance. There is no need to extract geometric primitives (e.g. lines) which are generally hard to detect reliably.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.

Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.
Keywords: Flat slabs, punching shear, unbalanced moment.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.
Keywords: Watershed, Nallur watershed, Surface runoff, Rainfall-Runoff, SCS-CN, Remote Sensing, GIS.

Effect of variation of plastic hinge length on the results of non linear anal...eSAT Journals
Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted. Keywords: Pushover analysis, Base shear, Displacement, hinge length, moment curvature analysis

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.
Keywords: Reclaimed asphalt pavement, Foundry waste, Recycling, Marshall Stability, Indirect tensile strength.

Abstract
Object tracking is an interesting and needed procedure for many real time applications. But it is a challenging one, because of the
presence of challenging sequences with abrupt motion, drastic illumination change, large pose variation, occlusion, cluttered
background and also the camera shake. This paper presents a novel method of object tracking by using the algorithms spatio-
temporal Markov random field (STMRF) and online discriminative feature selection (ODFS), which overcome the above mentioned
problems and provide a better tracking process. This method is also capable of tracking multiple objects in video sequence even in the
presence of an object interactions and occlusions that achieves better results with real time performance.
Keywords: Video object tracking, spatio-temporal Markov random field (ST-MRF), online discriminative feature selection
(ODFS).
----------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTION
In the past decades many algorithms were proposed for the
object tracking process but it is still difficult to make a
efficient method of tracking. Appearance changes created by
abrupt motion, shape deformations, illumination variations
and also the occlusion all these makes the tracking so tricky.
Also the applications such as video indexing and editing,
Automated surveillance, traffic monitoring and human-
computer interaction are needed for better results.
Pixel domain and compressed domain are the few major
groups of approaches to track moving objects in a video
sequence. Pixel domain will provide high accuracy. It needs
higher computational complexity. It also require decoding to
get pixel domain information, because nowadays many of the
video contents are available only in compressed form. So
compressed domain approach is widely used. This approach
uses the data from compressed video bit stream like block
coding modes vectors, motion compressed prediction residual
or its transform coefficients etc.
Based on their representation schemes tracking algorithms are
categorized into two classes: 1) Generic 2) Discriminative
models. Generative algorithms study on appearance model and
use that for search the image regions thus provide tracking
results with minimal reconstruction errors. Sparse
representation methods are used to represent the object using
trivial templates and a set of target to deal with pose variation
and partial occlusion. But these generative models discard
many of useful information, because it does not take
surrounding visual context into account.
Discriminative models use a learned classifier to separate the
target object from its surrounding background with in a local
region. Collins et al.[1] demonstrate in an online manner to
improve tracking performance. Grabner et al.[2] demonstrated
on online boosting feature selection method. But these all used
only one positive sample and multiple negative samples. If the
detected object location is not precise. The positive samples
for tracking with the MIL framework [3][4]. This paper
demonstrates the object tracking with MRF algorithm
combined with ODFS algorithm in the compresses domain.
2. OBJECT TRACKING
Object tracking is nothing but the process of extracting an
object of interest from a video scene and continuous track of
its motion, orientation and occlusion. It follows the
segmenting step which is same as recognition step in image
processing. First main step of information extraction is
deletion of moving objects from video streams. Three
approaches are there for object tracking. One is feature based
approach, which extracts the characteristics like points, line
segments. Differential methods of approach are mainly based
on optical flow computation. The third approach uses the
correlation to read the image displacements. Based on the
domain of the problem any of these approaches its selected.

2.1 Overview of the Proposed Method
Fig -1: Flow diagram for tracking
2.2 Preprocessing
Tracking algorithm makes use of two types of information
from the H.264/AVC compressed bit stream: MVs and block
coding mode (partition) information. In this method texture
data does not require to be decoded. Four basic MB modes are
defined in the above mentioned bit stream: 16 × 16, 16 × 8, 8
× 16, and 8 × 8, here the 8 × 8 mode can be again split into 8 ×
4, 4 × 8, and 4 × 4 modes. Being 4×4 is the smallest coding
mode (partition) in H.264/AVC, so as to have a uniformly
sampled MV field, this method map all MVs to 4 × 4 blocks.
This is simple in inter-coded blocks, as well as SKIP blocks
where the MV is simply set to zero. But the motion
interpretation in the intra-coded blocks is more involved.
Global Motion Compensation
In a frame all the pixels will be affected by the global motion,
which is caused because of camera movements. To get an
accurate tracking, global motion should be removed because it
adds to the object’s native motion. Global Motion should be
compensated from the motion vector field prior to further
processing. 6-parameter affine model [8] and 8-parameter
perspective model can be used to represent global motion. The
affine model is less flexible than the 8-parameters perspective
model.
Based on the single affine transform instruction, Global
motion compensation describes the motion in a scene. The
selected frame is rotated, panned and zoomed in accordance to
GMC warp points to produce a prediction about the following
frame. This operation can create an accurate prediction
because it works on individual pixels. But the block based
approaches cannot create such predictions. Every block in a
frame can be compensated using global motion or local
motion. A predicted frame can be called as sprite frame(s-
frame) when it is created by using GMC. If it is encoded
without GMC t can be either P-frame or B-frame. Frame
predicted jointly by past and future frame is B-frame. Camera
motions like tilt, roll, track, boom are basically reflected in the
global motion compensation. Normally large blocks (8 × 8 and
above) are more likely to be part of the background, whereas
small blocks, are more likely to belong to the moving objects.
In GME, only large blocks (16 × 16, 16 × 8, 8 × 16, 8 × 8) are
used, and so small blocks (8 × 4, 4 × 8, 4 × 4) and intra-coded
blocks are discarded
2.3 ST-MRF Optimization
The characteristics of a moving rigid object are relative
similarity of motion within the region occupied by the object,
spatial compactness i.e. not dispersed in different parts of the
frame, and a continuous motion trajectory. Though the motion
of flexible objects is not so characteristic it is in principle that
these objects can be treated in a divide and conquer manner as
a group of smaller sufficiently rigid objects. So this ST-MRF
model is based on rigid object motion characteristics. The
frame should be divided into smaller blocks (i.e. 4×4). Object
blocks can be labeled 1 and non-object blocks can be labeled
as 0. The block in tth frame labeled as ωt and the block in
frame t-1 is labeled as ωt-1. In past two algorithms Stochastic
Relaxation (SR) and ICM were used. SR has some advantage
in accuracy compared to ICM, but at a higher computational
cost [11]. At first, the label of each block is initialized by
projecting the previous frame labeling ω t−1 into the current
frame. Then each block is relabeled with the label (0 or 1) that
leads to the largest reduction in the energy function.
Relabeling procedure is done until no further energy reduction
is achieved. Normally, six iterations are needed to reach the
local minimum. This is worth mentioning that because results
are dependent on the initial labeling.

2.4 ODFS
This method proposes an efficient and robust tracking
algorithm which addresses all the issues faced by existing
methods of tracking. It proposes a simple and effective online
discriminative feature selection (ODFS) approach which
directly couples the classifier score with the sample
importance, and thus formulating a more robust and efficient
tracker than state-of-the-art algorithms [11], [13], and 17 times
faster than the MIL Track [14] method. It also shows that use
of bag likelihood loss functions is unnecessary for feature
selection which is proposed in the MIL Track method. As an
alternative, this method directly selects features on the
instance level by using a supervised learning method which is
more efficient and robust than the MILTrack method. As the
correct positive one and all the instances, can be labeled from
the current classifier, they can be used for update via self-
taught learning . Here, the correct positive instance can be
effectively used as the tracking result of the current frame as
similar to other discriminative models [9], [10], [11], [12].
3. RESULTS
3.1 Object Representation
In a tracking scenario, an object can be defined as anything
that is of interest for further analysis. For instance, boats on
the sea, fish inside an aquarium, vehicles on a road, planes in
the air, people walking on a road, or bubbles in the water are a
set of objects that may be important to track in a specific
domain. Objects can be represented with use of their shapes
and appearances.
Fig -2: Proposed Method Of Tracking
3.2 Feature Selection for Tracking
Selecting the right features plays a critical role in tracking. In
general, the most desirable property of a visual feature is its
uniqueness so that the objects can be easily distinguished in
the feature space. Feature selection is most related to the
object representation. For example, in histogram based
appearance representations color is used as a feature, where as
for contour-based representation, object edges are usually used
as features. Many tracking algorithms use a combination of
these features.
Fig -3: Feature Selection for Tracking
4. CONCLUSIONS
This algorithm provides a novel approach to track a moving
object in -compressed video. The only data from the
compressed stream used in the proposed method are the
motion vectors and block coding modes. As a result, the
proposed method has a fairly low processing time, yet still
provides high accuracy. After the preprocessing stage, which
consists of intra-coded block motion approximation and global
motion compensation, , an estimate of the labeling of the
current frame is formed based on the previous frame labeling
and current motion information. The results of experimental
evaluations on ground truth video demonstrate superior
functionality and accuracy of our approach against other state-
of the- art compressed-domain tracking Approaches. Although
our algorithm works well even with fixed parameter values,
possibly better performance may be obtained by adaptive
tuning, although this would in general increase the
complexity.
