Evaluation of Thresholding Based Noncontact Respiration Rate Monitoring using...IRJESJOURNAL
Abstract: - A noncontact method for respiration rate monitoring using thermal imaging was developed and evaluated. Algorithms to capture images, detect the location of the face, locate the corners of the eyes from the detected face and thereafter locate the tip of the nose in each image were developed. The amount of emitted infrared radiation was then determined from the detected tip of the nose. Signal processing techniques were then utilised to obtain the respiration rate in real-time. The method was evaluated on 6 enrolled subjects after obtaining all ethical approvals. The evaluations were conducted against two existing contact based methods; thoracic and abdominal bands. Results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.9974 to 0.9999 depending on the location of the ROI relative to the detected tip of the nose. The main contributions of the work was the successful development and evaluation of the facial features tracking algorithms in thermal imagining, the evaluation of thermal imaging as a technology for respiration monitoring in a hospital environment against existing respiration monitoring systems as well as the real time nature of the method where the frame processing time was 40 ms from capture to respiration feature plotting.

Gas agency management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The project entitled "Gas Agency" is done to make the manual process easier by making it a computerized system for billing and maintaining stock. The Gas Agencies get the order request through phone calls or by personal from their customers and deliver the gas cylinders to their address based on their demand and previous delivery date. This process is made computerized and the customer's name, address and stock details are stored in a database. Based on this the billing for a customer is made simple and easier, since a customer order for gas can be accepted only after completing a certain period from the previous delivery. This can be calculated and billed easily through this. There are two types of delivery like domestic purpose use delivery and commercial purpose use delivery. The bill rate and capacity differs for both. This can be easily maintained and charged accordingly.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.

application story
The infrared camera automatically detects the hottest
temperature within an area, set by the operator. A color
alarm makes it easy to decide whether a person needs
further examination or not.
Keeping the spread of viral infections under control
Infrared thermography helps to detect and contain the spreading of
bird flu and other viral diseases.
Growing international exchange, travel, and economic migration require a
consistent, prompt, effective and international viral disease prevention policy.
Elevated human body temperature, or fever, is a convincing and reliable indicator of
most human viral infections. Since the outbreak of SARS, public health authorities
around the world have been looking for a fast, easy, contactless and reliable
method to detect elevated human body temperature differences.
Thermography is such a method. It has become vital to control body temperature
of risk groups such as travellers and proven itself as a monitoring tool that has
substantially contributed to reduce the spreading of SARS virus in many countries
and regions.
But viral contagious diseases unfortunately
do not end with SARS. While the latter has
taken lives of some 10% of the infected
people, the H5N1 strain of avian influenza,
in its current early stage in Asia and Europe,
has a death rate of over 50%. So far,
the spread of H5N1 virus from person to
person has been very rare and has not
continued beyond one person. Nonetheless,
because all influenza viruses have the ability
to change, scientists are concerned that
H5N1 virus one day could be able to infect
humans and spread easily from one person
to another.
Infraredthermography :
an effectivetoolto detect
elevated bodytemperatures
An infrared camera is a very effective
tool to detect people infected with a viral
disease at a very early stage. It produces
thermal images or heat pictures which allow
to display even the smallest temperature
differences.
Human body temperature is a
complex phenomenon. Humans are
homeothermic, they radiate heat, which
must be lost to the environment. The
interface between that heat production
and the environment is the skin. This
dynamic organ is constantly adjusting
the optimum balance between the
physiologic demands of the body and
external environmental conditions.
Infrared thermography provides a visual
map of skin temperatures in real time. In
addition, infrared cameras are very sensitive
devices. FLIR cameras can measure
temperature differences as small as
0.08 ºC.
The symptoms of most infectious diseases
are similar – malaise, sore throat, cough
and of course fever. Consequently, it is
extremely easy to detect whether a person
carries the risk of having an infectious
disease or not. All that needs to be done
is make an infrared image of the subject
and measure if his/her body temperature
exceeds a certain value.
2. Thanks to the infrared camera’s built-in
functions like colour and sound alarms
that can be set to go off when a certain
temperature threshold is being exceeded,
the operator can instantly decide whether
the subject needs to be referred for
medical examination or not. As the
infrared camera produces images in real-
time, the total evaluation process takes
less than a second.
This makes infrared technology very
useful for rapidly screening large numbers
of people. However, a few things need to
be taken into account.
The application: measuringthe
temperature ofthe human body
A person’s general skin temperature is not
equal to the person’s core temperature.
The most practical spot on the body
giving the most reliable result (where the
skin temperature approaches the core
temperature of the human body) is in the
corner of the eyes where the lachrymal
duct comes to the surface.
It is therefore recommended to take
subjects in front of the camera at a
marked distance, in general at 1 to 1.6
meters away from the camera lens, so
that the face fills the entire image.
The subject only needs to look into the
camera for less than a second. As the
highest temperature will be measured
in the corner of the eyes, people can
continue to wear a mouth mask or
their headwear without influencing the
measurement. Glass and plastic do not
transmit infrared radiation, so people need
to remove their glasses in order to be
examined.
It would be advisable to set up the
infrared camera at places with long
queues such as passport or customs
control points as persons should be
screened on an individual basis. It is also
recommended, though not mandatory,
to install the camera on a tripod and
connect it to a video screen, to facilitate
the working conditions of the camera
operator.
Proofthat Infrared works
It is not necessary to measure absolute
temperatures to determine whether a
person has an elevated temperature or
not. The following procedure has been
initially followed to determine if infrared
measurement works: after measuring
the true body temperature of approx. 10
to 25 healthy people with a medical ear
thermometer and the face temperature
of these same people with a FLIR
infrared camera, the average temperature
difference is calculated: true body
temperature minus face temperature.
Experience has shown that this
average temperature difference is fairly
constant and varies between 0.8 and
1.2°C depending on the environmental
conditions of the test area, such as
ambient temperature, air conditioning,
wind, weather conditions etc. This
corresponds to the principle that the body
temperature of a feverish person is about
1°C higher compared to a healthy person.
Whether that average temperature turns
out to be 32, 34, or 36°C is not relevant.
It should be correlated to the core
temperature and remain stable.
In practice, the camera is installed and can
be used immediately: the infrared camera
automatically calculates the average
temperature of the first 10 scanned people
and then defines their average. Then, an
alarm should be set to go off when the
measured temperature reaches an average
plus 1°C.
The purpose is to differentiate the
people who are well from those that
have fever and not to measure absolute
body temperatures.The absolute error
measured on both the threshold values
and the subjects tested will be the same,
as long as the camera is stable.
Infrared and visual image of 2 subjects with an elevated body temperature.The
colour alarm clearly shows the parts of the head with a temperature higher
than 38°C.
3. A unique FLIR feature:the
AutomaticTemperature
Compensator (ATC)
FLIR has equipped its infrared cameras
with an Automatic Temperature
Compensator (ATC) to avoid generating
false alarm. The ATC constantly
calculates a moving average of the body
temperatures from the last 10 scanned
people. The two highest and the two
lowest values are not taken into account
when making this calculation. Based on
the outcome of this calculation the ATC
automatically adjusts the generation
of visible and audible alarms, greatly
improving the reliability of the screening.
Quickly scanning a large number
of people by using infrared
cameras with colour AND sound
alarms
Temperatures are measured by full
radiometric infrared cameras, not by
infrared imagers. These systems can
be battery-operated for over 2 hours or
continuously connected to main power.
Adhering to the IP 54 standard, they can
be used either indoor or outdoor.
The FLIR infrared cameras have built-
in functions to measure the highest
temperature inside a given field view
area. The camera will automatically detect
the hottest spot. Its value is immediately
displayed on the built-in LCD of the
camera or on a connected video monitor.
The cameras have also been optimized
for fever detection as they recalibrate
themselves more frequently.
A built-in colour alarm function enables
an immediate decision whether the
subject requires further examination: all
areas, which are hotter than a predefined
temperature value, can be immediately
recognized on the infrared image.
In addition, FLIR cameras are equipped
with a sound alarm. If the temperature
exceeds a predefined value, a buzzer
alarm will go off. A subject activating the
alarm, can easily be taken aside for further
examination on site or in a medical centre.
A small investmentto protect
public health
Major airports in South-East Asia are
already using FLIR cameras and have
successfully applied this methodology
to screen all people entering and leaving
the country. It is a quick and contactless
method, which is perfectly safe for both
the camera operator and the screened
subject. The results are extremely
satisfactory.
The FLIR infrared cameras have proven
themselves as tools that can be operated
by non-specialists after a few hours of
training. They enable a quick and accurate
scan of a large number of people to trace
fever, a major symptom of viral infections.
As some officials have put it, it is a very
small investment to protect public health
worldwide.
application story
Using a FLIR infrared camera
for detecting possible SARS
patients:
• Assure that there are no hot
objects such as lamps in the field
of view of the camera. The camera
should be turned on at least 30
minutes before measurement
starts and carefully focused.
• Set the emissivity value to 0.98.
• Determine the average
temperature of a healthy person by
using an ear thermometer and an
infrared camera (or utilise the built-
in ATC function).
• Add 1°C to the average
temperature of a healthy person to
obtain the critical temperature.
• Set an area in the infrared camera.
• Set the colour and sound alarms
to signal if the temperature within
the area is higher than the critical
temperature.
• Bring the subjects to be tested,
one by one, in front of the camera.
Each for about 1 second.
• If the alarms signal, detour the
subject for further examination.
The average temperature of a healthy person can
be determined with an ear thermometer or with
the Automatic Temperature Compensator (ATC) in
the FLIR infrared camera.
The infrared image clearly shows the hot spots in the
corner of the eyes.

FLIR infrared camera's can help to prevent the
spreading of viral diseases such as bird flu
Taiwan Public Health Authorities Apply
Infrared Thermography to Detect
Communicable Viral Diseases
The Center of Disease Control (CDC), which
is the Taiwan public health authority, is
scanning travellers at the country’s main
entry points, the airports of Taipeh and
Kaohsiung.
Before putting in place the thermographic
temperature measurements, the airport
authorities asked incoming country visitors
to fill out a ‘Communicable Disease Survey
Form’ on a voluntary basis. This procedure
became mandatory during the SARS period.
As of April 2003, the CDC has set up FLIR
infrared cameras to detect elevated body
temperatures of incoming travellers. Fever is
one of the main symptoms of communicable
diseases such as SARS, bird flu, dengue (an
acute viral disease marked by fever, intense
headache, nausea) malaria and many others.
The consistent body temperature monitoring
of travellers with a thermal camera proved
to be successful in detecting disease
cases in an early stadium: the CDC
reported approximately 15 cases per year
based on the individual Communcable
Diseases Survey Form. However, after the
implementation of the infrared camera
scanning, 60 cases were detected between
April and December 2003, 36 of which were
malaria and 18 dengue fever cases. Between
January and October 2004, 93 cases were
reported, of which 48 dengue fever, 41
dysentery and 3 cases of malaria. Only one
case of dengue was reported through the
Survey Form, the other cases were found by
the infrared temperature checkpoint installed
at the airports.
The public health authority hence decided to
cancel the ‘Communicable Disease Survey
Form’ as of December 1, 2004 and to rely
solely on infrared thermography to screen
incoming travellers.
Legal disclaimer: although infrared cameras are accurate
temperature measurement devices, they have not been tested or
qualified as diagnostics medical equipment. As such FLIR cannot
be hold liable for any error resulting from the use of these systems
or errors in the interpretation of the results. The methodology as
described has not been validated by clinical tests and should be
used as a guideline only.
With their proven track record for
detecting elevated body temperatures as
an indicator of infection, the FLIR infrared
cameras are again being specified to
counter the spread of bird flu.
Thanks to the built in functions such as
colour and sound alarms the operator
can instantly decide whether the
subject needs to be referred for medical
examination. As the camera produces
images in real-time, at a rate of 50Hz, the
total evaluation process takes less than
a second. This makes the camera ideal
for screening large numbers of people in
environments such as airports, stations,
department stores or building lobby’s.
FLIR offers portable infrared cameras such
as the FLIR T- and P-series, but also fixed
mount cameras like the FLIR A-series.
FLIR infrared cameras have been used for
SARS and viral infection detection in the
following countries and regions : Australia,
Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore,
Taiwan.
Infrared cameras
• allow to screen large numbers of
people anywhere at any time
• display and detect critical temperature
elevations in real-time
• activate colour and sound alarm
• are easy to set up and use
• can be smoothly integrated in public
area pedestrian traffic streams
• are able to store evidence
• protect public health
Viral diseases like bird flu must be controlled. An infrared
camera can help to detect possible patients in an early
stage.
