Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

the planning of building? // What is the orientation of i) Kitchen, ii) Bed Room, iii) Living Room in building
Design? // What are the factors considered in planning of building? // Enlist the different principles of
Planning. Explain in brief any three. //
Answer:
Following basic principles of planning should be considered while planning the building.
1)Aspect 2) Prospect 3) Privacy 4) Grouping 5) Roominess
6) Furniture Requirement 7) Circulation 8) Sanitation 9) Elegance 10) Economy
11) Safety 12) Noise Control
1) Aspect:-
Aspect means a skillful arrangement of rooms, doors
and windows in building in such a way that the
occupants enjoy the natural gifts like sunshine, breeze,
scenery etc.
The aspect considers a proper placement of different
rooms in the building according to their activities.
Fig shows the “aspect diagram” which indicates general
directional arrangement of various rooms.
Aspect depends on climate conditions of sun, wind and
rain in the region for different seasons.
Aspect ensures comfort and proper hygienic
conditions.

2) Prospect
It is about locating and selecting types of doors and windows so as to reveal pleasant features and conceal
undesirable features of the buildings from a person viewing from outside.
(i) Aspect and prospect, both are primary considerations determined by the disposition of doors and windows
in the external walls of the building but there is a difference between two.

(ii) Prospect is the arrangement of windows in the external walls which allows the inside viewer to enjoy the
outside pleasant view such as garden scenery etc. and at the same time, conceal the undesirable views
outside.
(iii) Thus prospect is decided by the views derived by the occupant from the certain part of the building. Prospect
depends on the surroundings of the building.
(iv) Good prospect can be provided by projecting windows, inclined breakers, blind walls, galleries etc.
(v) The figures show how to achieve best possible prospect from window projections. Desireable views are
made visible by projecting windows in that directions and undesirable views are kept hidden by using
concealment walls.
3) Privacy
(i) Proper privacy is one of the primary needs.
(ii) Privacy of the entire building from the
surrounding buildings, streets and byways is
necessary.
(iii) It is provided by keeping windows at high
levels from outside road or ground and by
growing plants and trees around the building.
(iv) Privacy within the different rooms of the same
building is also equally important.
(v) This internal privacy can be provided by
screens, shelters, shutters, partitions, lobbies
etc.
(vi) The internal privacy can be achieved by
providing doors at proper places and hanging
shutters.
(vii) Figure shows effect of door placement on privacy. A double leaf door placed at the center of short wall
provides no privacy because a viewer in front of the door can see almost everything inside the room. On
the other hand a single leaf door placed on one side of long wall provides very good privacy because very
small part of the room is visible from outside the door.
(viii)Thus privacy can be obtained by
a) Correct disposition of doors and windows.
b) Nontransparent glasses fitted to windows and partitions
c) Curtains of windows and doors
d) Providing windows at high levels
e) Providing separate entrance to every room through the passage.
4) Grouping:-
a) Grouping means disposition of various rooms in the building for the convenience of users and their utility.
b) A dining room should be close to the kitchen, white sanitary block should be away from kitchen, but
convenient to bedrooms. In case of offices, administrative department is located centrally. In factories,
various sections are located such that product moves in one direction to get finally assembled after least
movement.
c) In residential buildings grouping is to achieve comfort, privacy and efficiency while in the case of other
buildings it is to achieve economical service.
d) Generally any building has many rooms, units or apartments having different but definite functions.
Arrangement of different rooms according to their functions known as grouping.
e) Grouping should be such that the function of each room is performed smoothly. The movement should be
easy.
f) Figure (a) shows a good example of grouping of residential building. The sanitary blocks should be near
the bedroom as well as kitchen. It should be connected to each room independently. Kitchen and dining
room should be adjacent. Living room should be next to reception room. Kitchen and bedroom should
have approach from living room. Passage should be minimum and staircase should be near to maximum
rooms.
g) Figure (b) shows bad grouping of residential building. The drawbacks are obvious. The entrances through
kitchen, sanitary blocks away from room are some of the inconveniences.
h) Figure (c) shows a general grouping of industrial building. The movement of the material from raw state to
the finished product through various shops should be continuous without any interruption. The common
facilities and necessities like canteen, offices etc. are easily accessible to all units of the factory. The watch
and ward units are at the gate of the factory.

5) Roominess
a) An apparent feeling of spaciousness or extra space created by the shape of the room is known as roominess
b) Increase in room area requires more expenditure. Instead of this, the roominess is produced from the
minimum dimensions of the room by proper shape and arrangement of doors and furniture in it. If the wall
cupboards, lofts, shelves etc. are provided, sufficient floor area is available for use.
c) A rectangular room is felt larger than the square room of the same area. A rectangular room is felt larger in
respect of its utility also.
d) In general, roominess depends on:
a. Dimensions of room
b. Disposition of doors and windows
c. Color system of the room
e) In figure, a ratio of length to breadth (L/B) of 1.2 to1.5 provides desirable roominess but for the ratio
exceeding 2, undesirable roominess creates a bad feeling of tunnel in the room. Small room of large height
produces cave effect and appears to be small.
6) Furniture Requirement
a) The furniture requirement and their sizes can be predetermined considering the type of building,
functions of various rooms and the maximum number of persons using the rooms. Then the sizes and
shapes of various rooms can be planned to provide sufficient space around the furniture placement for
easy movement.
b) Furniture requirement for various rooms may be listed as follows
Study room: - tables, chairs, benches, cupboards etc.
Bedrooms: - bed, easy chairs, dressing table

Kitchen: - cooking platform, cupboards, shelves, fridge, dining table & chairs
Living room: - table, chairs, sofa, showcase, TV set etc.
c) The furniture arrangement can be determined by the position of doors and windows.
7) Circulation
a) Circulation means the access or the internal thoroughfare from room to room and from floor to floor.
b) There are two types of circulations (i) horizontal and (ii) vertical
c) The horizontal circulation means the movement on the same floor such as from room to room or within
same room.
d) Horizontal circulation is provided by passages, verandahs, corridors, lobbies, halls etc.
e) The vertical circulation means the movement from floor to floor
f) Vertical circulation is provided by staircase, lifts, elevators etc.
g) Desirable circulation must be short, easy to access, lighted, ventilated and independent of other elements
of building with proper privacy.
h) The following points should be considered in planning circulation:
a. It should be straight.
b. It should be sufficient.
c. It should be sufficiently lighted and ventilated.
d. Stairs should be easily accessible to all the users.
e. Sanitary services should have access for every user through passage lobby.
8) Sanitation
Sanitation considers provisions of ample light, ventilation, sanitary units and cleaning facilities.
For healthy and happy living natural light and ventilations are required. Diffused light and good cross
ventilation should be available inside the building.
(i) Light
Light is necessary for illumination and destroying germs in the rooms.
Lighting may be natural or artificial or combination of both.
Natural light can be provided by windows, doors like openings, ducts, etc.
Use of reflecting colors on walls, tiles along with artificial light also helps in illumination of building
For industrial building provision of saw tooth roof, north light roofing techniques can be used
(ii) Ventilation
This is prime requirement to maintain the hygiene of any occupant as lack of fresh air produces illness.
Natural ventilation may be sought through windows and ventilators.
As far as possible cross ventilation should be achieved.
Artificial ventilation may be sought by way of air-conditioning, use of fans, exhaust fans etc.
(iii) Sanitary Units & cleaning facilities
Ample water supply facilities by way of underground sumps, overhead tanks with pumping facility are
primary requirement of any building
Sanitary amenities like bathroom, water closets, lavatories, urinals etc. are essential part of concern for any
building.

Cleanliness may be achieved by non-absorbent flooring materials with proper slope, provision of rain water
pipes for terrace, adequate slopes and dados in baths, water closets etc.
9) Elegance
a) A functionally well planned structure may not necessarily invite attention of user due to lack of elegance
b) Thus the principle of elegance deals with beautifying the structure outwardly.
c) Elegance may be improved by combination of the following depending on economy
Increasing the plinth height of structure
Use of arches for windows, doors etc
Different coloring patterns for walls
Combination of flat and sloped roofing
Use of decorative (building) materials
Integration of structure with surroundings by proper landscaping
10) Economy
a) Last but not the least, any planning would fail if the cost incurred is not considered
b) However, a structure requiring less investment initially may prove to be costlier in the long run due to
high maintenance cost.
c) Although one construct house during his life time, a costly structure may not be practically feasible. Hence
an optimum policy should be framed wherein the functional utility, comfort as well as cost of the
structure.
d) No general rules can be made to achieve economy
e) But it can be achieved by keeping the minimum dimensions of rooms, doors, windows, simple design etc.
11) Safety [Q: What Safety precautions are necessary in a building? Explain. // Write a short note on ‘General
Safety of Building’.]
a) Every building should be stable and durable. It should also be safe against fire and lightening.
b) Safety against fire: -
Every building should be well equipped with the first aid and fire extinguishers, heat and smoke
detectors, alarm system etc.
In addition to fire fighting equipment, water buckets, sand buckets should also be made available.
The electrical fittings should be checked from time to time to protect the building from fire due to
short-circuiting.
The building should be provided with emergency stair-case to escape from fire.
c) Safety against lightening: -
Generally residential buildings are subjected to the lightening danger.
Only the tall buildings are likely to be affected.
Proper lightening protection system should be provided on all important public buildings.
This system must form a continuous chain of conductors from the roof to the ground so that the stroke
of lightening should be discharged to earth within a short interval of time.
12) Noise control
a) Noise is defined as any undesirable sound of any frequency and any intensity other than the desired
sound.
b) Noise may be either indoor noise or outdoor noise. It may be air borne or structure borne.
Indoor Noise- caused due to radio, TV, conversation, banging of doors or windows, machinery etc.
Outdoor noise- caused due to traffic mainly, hawkers, loud speakers etc.
Air borne noise- carried through air and travel through openings.
Structure borne noise- carried by structure and difficult to control.
6. Building Planning
6
c) Why Noise control:-
Noise is unpleasant. It reduces comfort and peace of mine.
It seriously affects concentration. & it produces heavy strain on brain and nervous system.
d) Noise Control:-
Site selection- building should be located away from industrial areas, aerodromes, railways and
crowded streets.
Internal Planning- orientation of building should be such that minimum noise should reach inside the
building.
Sound Insulation- Sound insulation materials like rubber, felt, corks etc. should be used to fill up the
unwanted holes, small opening and ventilating ducts in wall which otherwise transmit the noise.
Transmission of noise can also be avoided by using discontinuous and non-homogeneous building
structure
Noise reduction at sources- one can reduce the noise by knowing the cause of noise. Generally noise
due to impact, friction, turbulence can be reduced up to certain limits by proper lubrication, handling,
use of sound absorbing materials etc.
2) Explain of bye-Laws of building line and open spaces. //Write short note on Building Bye-laws. // What do
you Know by Building Bye-Laws? Write down the specific Bye-Laws for i) Open space requirement, ii)
height of Building, iii) FSI // What is meant by ‘Building Bye-Laws’? Write down the specific bye-laws for
FSI. // What do you know about ‘Building Bye-Laws’? Explain in brief any one. // Give typical values of
space requirements around a building.// Write a short on Building Bye-Laws and their importance. //
Explain Necessity of Building Bye-Laws.
Necessity & Object of Bye Laws-
a) To control haphazard growth in particular area.
b) To facilitate future use of land, widening of roads, to have hygienic environment
c) To ensure proper air, light, ventilation, parking, sanitation and safety of structures
d) To give guide lines to the designer, architect or engineer
e) To control land development
f) To specify the type of materials to be used
g) To afford safety against fire, noise and smoke etc.
Building and Control Line
Setback Line- It is the front line up to which a building is allowed to extend as compared to the road there
Building Line- In case of residential building the setback line is termed as building line
Control Line - In case of industrial building the setback line is termed as control line
Setback Distance- a minimum distance of setback line from the centre of the occupany road is set down as a limit
by the bye-laws. This limit is called setback distance.
Road Type Minimum setback distance
from building line in meter
Minimum setback distance

2 Major District Roads (MDR) 15 24
3 Other District Roads (ODR) 9 15
4 Village Roads (VR) 9 15
Advantages- setback have following advantages
(i) can be used for future road widening
(ii) keep noise and dust away from building
(iii) improves visibility and safety to traffic
(iv) Better light, air and ventilation for building.
7. Building Planning
7
Open Space Requirements-
Certain open space should be left around the building depending upon air and light requirement of the building
It also considers parking, future expansion and good approach or access to the other amenities
Industrial building has some other additional points consideration for open space
Open space for front, rear and side yards depends upon the height of the building and canbe calculated by using
the following formula
Width of open space in meter =W = 3 + (h-10)/3;
Where, h = height of building in meters < 25 m
Open space for rear yard for building of height less than 10m should be 3m average but in no case less than 1.8m
Minimum space around the building is given table below:
Height of building in meter 5 6 9 12 15 18 20 24
Width of open spaces in meters 3 3.3 4 4.7 5.4 6.1 7.4 9
Built-up Area:-
Plot Area- It is the total area purchased for the proposed building plan
Carpet Area- This is the floor area of the usable rooms at any floor level. It is the area of construction excluding
wall thickness area.
Built-up Area- It is the area of construction of building including wall thickness. It is the sum of the construction
areas on all floors of the building.
Built up area is restricted due to open space requirements. It can be increased to some extent by multistoried
construction
Regulation on built-up area
Locality Max. permissible Built-up area
covered in percent of plot area
Remark
1) Market area 75 % With Sufficient parking
2) Industrial area 60 %
3) Residential area
(a) Plot less than 200 sq.m. 60 % Up to two storied structure
(b) Plot 200 sq.m. to 500 sq.m. 50 %
(c) Plot 500 sq.m. to 1000 sq.m. 40 %
(d) Plot greater than 1000 sq.m. 33.33 %
Floor Space Index (FSI) or Floor Area Ratio (FAR):-
It is defined as the ratio of total built-up area of all the floors to the plot area.
FSI = ( Total Built-up Area ) / (Plot area )
FSI values are as under
Gaothan areas => residential areas FSI = 2.0
Gaothan Areas =.> Shops = 2.5
Town planning Schemes => FSI = 1.0
Illustration:- An owner have a plot of 500 sq.m. He has constructed 150sq.m. at ground level and 100sq.m. at first
floor level. Then the FSI is calculated as,
FSI = ( 100 + 150 ) / (500) = 250 / 500 = 0.5
8. Building Planning

Height of Building:-
Maximum height of building depends upon limitation on (a) width of street on which building fronts (b) minimum
width of rear space (c) vicinity of aerodromes
For buildings in the vicinity of aerodromes, maximum height of building is decided in consultation with Civil
Aviation Authorities.
In general height if building depends upon width of road and then it should be such that an inclined line drawn
