Ghosting Based Verge Heedful System Using Arduino

The Indian Ocean and its surrounding seas have the large number of fisher men in the world.And no where exist like killing firing or arresting of fisherman.In the last four years above 1,500 fishermen have been arrested. There cent survey based on the last disaster shows that many fisherman have gone missing.As safety and security plays a major role in the life of fishermen because of the marine border line problems. And due to this many of them have lost their life.Hence inorder to protect the mour paper includes a system which reserve the life of the fishermen.The recent invention consists of GPS vehicle security information system Internet,GSM and Wave & Wi-max communication network,pulse sensor ,laser range finder,hidden live steaming camera are interfaced through Ardunio.The data of every individualship’s GPS location will be displayed in the mapper .In order to find the intruder’s ship distance we use the laser range finder which is connected with the LCD(displayunit). And if the intruder comes in range of 200 meters from a particular ship automatic triggering will be provided to ON then the hidden camera will stream the data to base station.The purpose of pulse sensor is to check the pulse of the fishermen whether it is normal or abnormal status would be monitored.Incase if it is abnormal it will send message to their respective relatives through the GSM . The wave & wimax communication network are transmitting the signal to control room and alarm the device in the boat .The fish finder senses where the movement of fish is high in the ocean through the reflection of sound .This helps the fishermen to find where the quantity of fish is high.This system ensures the safety and benefits for fishermen by themselves by fitting this system in their boat or ship boat.

Analysis of Mini-Camera's Cat-Eye Retro-Reflection for Characterization of Diffraction Rings and Arrayed Spots

Mini-cameras are one of several emerging types of cat-eye devices using small lenses with insufficient retro-reflection for traditional detection systems to identify. Based on a structural analysis of these devices, this paper provides an accurate theoretical description of the received beam profile. The simulated and experimental results have good similarity in terms of profile shapes and trends with different incident angles and defocus distances. An analysis of the detection conditions and the reflection image features described in this article can thus be applied to hidden camera detection. Mini-cameras can be detected according to these features of the received beam profiles.

Impact of Glabellar Paralysis on Facial Expression of Emotion.

Many prospective patients remain wary of the effects that glabellar muscle paralysis may have on their ability to normally communicate emotion with their face. We undertook a direct empirical test of the effects of glabellar onabotulinum toxin type A injections on the ability to convey 6 universally recognized facial expressions of emotion. Fifty-two female subjects ("expressors") were recorded on hidden camera while viewing video clips intended as a mood induction procedure that stimulates the 6 cardinal emotions (amusement, anger, disgust, fear, sadness, surprise). The subjects were then injected with 25 units of onabotulinum toxin A in the glabellar region. The subjects returned 1 month later and were again recorded while being spontaneously induced to express emotion. All video clips from both time periods from the 10 maximal expressors were extracted and shown to a group of 31 "perceivers" who rated the facial expressions for intensity (Likert 1-7) and identity of emotion (percent correct emotion identified). Glabellar paralysis significantly diminished mean perceived intensity of anger (50.4% relative reduction, P < 0.001) and surprise (20.6% relative reduction, P < 0.001). The mean intensity of disgust increased (39.0%, P < 0.001). Importantly, however, glabellar paralysis did not result in a significant change in observers' ability to discern provoked cardinal emotions. We believe these findings provide a measure of reassurance to patients and their providers that the use of onabotulinum toxin A to paralyze the glabellar musculature for aesthetic purposes may not pose a meaningful risk to the overall ability to express emotion during social interaction.

POS Transaction Security Using Dual Authentication without PIN

Credit card fraud is one of the considerable issues. We had come across various loses in digital revenue in our day to day life. Credit card information should be hidden. Hidden cameras at merchant location are common, for many security purposes. Card and PIN at Point Of Sale breaches the security of PIN when used in crowded merchant payment location .PIN is mandatory to authenticate the digital transaction at POS. There may be many solutions suggested by researchers of this kind. In this paper author propose a dual authentication without sharing his PIN. This approach protects the user from shoulder-surfers and partial observation attacks.

Enshrouding Of Pin From Snooping Using Steganopin And BW Method

Now a daysUsers typically reuse the same personalized identification number (PIN) for multiple times. Direct PIN entries are highly dangerous for shoulder surfing attackers can effectively observe PIN entry with hidden cameras. Indirect PIN entry methods proposed as countermeasures are rarely deployed because they demand a heavier brain stuff workload for users. To achieve security and usability, we present a practical indirect PIN entry method called SteganoPIN. The human–machine interface of SteganoPIN is two numeric keypads, one which is covered and the other open, designed mainly to block shoulder-surfing attacks. After locating a long-term PIN in the more typical layout ,through the covered permuted keypad, a user generates a one-time PIN that can safely be entered in plain view of attackers. Forty-eight participants were involved in investigating the PIN entry time and error rate of SteganoPIN. Our experimental manipulation used a within-subject factorial design with two independent variables: PIN entry system (standardPIN, SteganoPIN) and PIN type (system-chosen PIN, user-chosen PIN).The PIN entry time in SteganoPIN (5.4–5.7 s) was slower but acceptable, and the error rate (0–2.1%) was not significantly different from that of the standard PIN.

Bilder des „überflüssigen“ und des „erfolgreichen“ Menschen um 1930

The images of the ‘Arbeiterfotograf’ Walter Ballhause have a sense of gritty realism. Ballhause recorded his images of people queueing at the unemployment office with a hidden camera, at a time when he was himself unemployed. They can thus be read as counterparts to a second discourse in Weimar photography: the iconography of the successful person, a fixed topos in magazines and self-help guides, where staged images using actors were presented to viewers as an aspirational ideal. Ballhause’s images also contrast with the photo documentations of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange, which were designed to communicate a specific idea of victimhood. His photos originate in the moment and in a coincidental meeting between photographer and photographic subject. Their revealing character lies precisely in the fact that the portrayed persons go about their everyday business without any obvious posing for the camera. (WP; in German)

The Intelligent Monitoring System for Power Station Security Based on Modular Design

为了提高无人值守电站的安防水平和快速处置突发事件的能力，本文提出开发模块化的电站安防智能巡检系统，采用模块化的设计思路，通过在电站关键部位布设特定的安防检测传感系统对电站安全状态进行不间断实时监测，一旦有异常发生，即可通过无线通讯系统通知便携式智能巡检系统管理中心，并启动视频联动系统，将隐蔽的摄像装置对准异常点，采集并发送视频信息到便携式智能巡检系统管理中心。巡检系统管理中心在收到异常报警信息后，启动声/光报警器，提醒人员留意，同时通过GPS自动定位自身位置并规划从当前位置到报警电站的最佳路径，引导巡逻车在最短的时间到达报警电站位置进行处理。论文对该系统实现的关键模块进行了设计分析，并对开发的系统进行试验测试，验证了所开发系统的实用性。 In order to improve the security level and the ability of the unattended power station to deal with emergencies rapidly, the idea of developing a modular intelligent inspection system for the security of power station was proposed in this paper. Using a modular design concept, we can carry out the continuous monitoring of the safety status by setting up a specific security detection and sensing system in the key parts of the power station. Once the status is abnormal, we can notify the portable intelligent inspection system management center through the wireless communication system, and start the video linkage system to collect and transmit video information to a portable intelligent inspection system management center with the hidden camera. After receiving the abnormal alarm information, the inspection system management center starts the sound/light alarm to remind people to pay attention. At the same time, according to the position of patrol car, it can plan the best path from the current location to the alarm station and guide the patrol car to reach the location of the alarm power station through GPS in the shortest time. In this paper, the implementations of the key technology and devices options are discussed in detail. The practicability of the developed system is verified by experiments and tests.

Le Cinéma français filme l'altérité en Corée du Nord : Le Cas du film Voir le pays du Matin Calme

ABSTRACTIn 2012, the French film made without authorization by hidden camera in North Korea Voir le pays du Matin Calme by Gilles De Maistre presents itself as a “fiction in the real.” Despite its experimental concept confronting an unknown hermetic otherness, why does it stumble on the North Korean reality? Comparing it to Moranbong by C.-J. Bonnardot, the first French film allowed to be made in North Korea (1958) and prepared by the photos of Chris Marker, we try to give an answer by stressing the need to overcome a scopic regime inherited from naturalism and Western positivism with the notions of “montrants” and “montrés,” belief regimes, and veridiction modes.

Video-assisted functional assessment of index pollicisation in congenital anomalies.

PurposeFunctional results of index pollicisation are usually assessed by the clinical score of Percival. This score is based on elementary hand movements and does not reflect the function of the neo thumb in daily life activities. The aim of this study was to develop a new video-assisted scoring system based on daily life activities to assess index pollicisation functional outcomes.MethodsTwenty-two consecutive children, operated between 1998 and 2012, were examined with a mean of 77 months after surgery. The mean age at surgery was 34 months. Post-operative results were evaluated by a new video-assisted 14-point scoring system consisting of seven basic tasks that are frequently used in daily activities. The series of tasks was performed both on the request of the examiner and in real-life conditions with the use of a hidden camera. Each video recording was examined by three different examiners. Each examiner rated the video recordings three times, with an interval of one week between examinations. Inter- and intra-observer agreements were calculated.ResultsInter- and intra-observer agreements were excellent both on request (κ = 0.87 [0.84–0.97] for inter-observer agreement and 0.92 [0.82–0.98] for intra-observer agreement) and on hidden camera (κ = 0.83 [0.78–0.91] for inter-observer agreement and 0.89 [0.83–0.96] for intra-observer agreement). The results were significantly better on request than on hidden camera (p = 0.045). The correlation between the video-assisted scoring system and the Percival score was poor.ConclusionThe video-assisted scoring system is a reliable tool to assess index pollicisation functional outcomes. The scoring system on hidden camera is more representative of the neo thumb use in daily life complex movements.Level of evidenceLevel IV.

Reality-Based Television Versus the Civil Right to Privacy: A Battle of Access

the general public has come under closer scrutiny from those who seek to obtain information about them, whether they like it or not, from technologies such as hidden cameras, Internet spyware, miniature recording devices, and super-telescopic photography lenses (e.g., Elder, Johnson, and Rishwain). Society's interest in voyeurism or curiosity (Baruh 202) appears to fuel a growing of television programming called reality TV. Its popularity has influenced traditional television journalistic newsgathering practices and along the way has created challenges regarding the public's right to privacy.In Wilson v. Layne and Berger v. Hanlon, the US Supreme Court's decisions affected newsgathering techniques that can be used by journalists while accompanying law enforcement officials during the execution of a search warrant. Shulman v. Group W Productions further altered the media's process of gathering information by clarifying access to emergency situations and access to patients where guarded personal information is exchanged between the victim and an emergency respondent.These decisions were meant to provide outlets with clear boundaries regarding the public's right to know versus the public's right to privacy or the First Amendment versus the Fourth (Esch; Gossett; C. Calvert). The outlets in question were print and broadcast news organizations in the Wilson and Berger decisions. The courts did not specify whether alternative programming provided by independent television production companies was included under the media ridealong decision.With the rise of reality-type information gathering, the question remains of whether or not these lines of privacy have been crossed (Mast). The theoretical and context of this research is to explore implications of decisions regarding privacy rights and apply them to justice (Erikson) and accident and emergency format (Kilborn; Bondebjerg) reality-type television programming.TheoreticalOrbe suggests using diverse methodological and theoretical approaches to critical scholarship (350). Cross-disciplinary research methods are employed during this article's exploratory study, including genre criticism (Butler 432) examining production techniques, critical analysis of reality television (Lunt; Hight), and critical or empirical studies (Trubek 585), where concepts are applied to sociological inquiry.Previous critical (CLS) are associated with application of social science and research on the behavior of actors (Trubek 600). Trubek postulates that a relationship exists between legal beliefs and practice (604) and social order and action. Critical empiricism (Coombe 71) in law is applicable in film theory, the ideological efficacy (118) of television. Causal research in CLS, proposes Tushnet, is an interminable critique (516) on social values. Miller posits the field of television borrows from CLS (3). CLS allows an opening in sociological research, with foundations providing a basis for critical application.This article examines the rise of the tabloid journalism type of reality television (Cavender and Fishman; B. Calvert et al.; Turner) and applies Prosser's torts on privacy to the production of nonfiction documentary-style programs, otherwise noted as reality-type television. The article focuses on one state case, Shulman v. Group W, and two federal cases, Berger v. Hanlon and Wilson v. Layne, to the application of reality television programming.Reality Television DefinedThere are many definitions of reality-based television programming. Prosise and Johnson, expanding on Cavender and Fishman, indicate a belief that reality programming blurs the line between news and entertainment . . . fact and fiction (Prosise and Johnson 73), where the videotaped interactions are presented to the audience as real rather than fictionalized encounters (e. …

Our Media, Our Principles

Community broadcasting is a nascent and unique sector now operating together with the commercial and national players in India and is identified by three significant characteristics—community participation, non-profit making, and community ownership and management. The overarching philosophy of community radio, acknowledged worldwide, is that it is a tool for social justice and a platform for community voices. Community radio seeks to counter the hegemony of the mainstream media and move away from the commerce-driven negative tendencies of media and journalism such as sensationalism, tabloidization, celebrity-worship, the unrestrained use of hidden cameras and paid news. Ordinary people, through participation in management, content production and organization, produce information relevant to them, choose their own stories, express their voice and define their identity. As India witnesses an endeavour to erect a nationwide network of thousands of autonomous, locally orientated community radio stations, it becomes necessary to build a set of codes of practice for this third tier of broadcasting so that it does not become a clone of mainstream media. This paper looks at some of these principles that the community radio sector in India must hold as sacred in order to strengthen civil society, journalism practices and democracy in India.

Driving in the fasting month of Ramadan: An observational study on speeding, horn honking, and using seat belts

The aim of this study was to examine how Ramadan, i.e., fasting month for believers of Islam, was associated to observable driving behaviours (i.e., speeding, horn honking, and using seat belts) as compared to non-Ramadan. Observations on speeding, horn honking, and using seat belts were held during and after Ramadan in different times of the day in the same region of the city of Ankara. Speeds of 1885 vehicles were measured by hand held radar on a two-way eight-lane road with a 50km/h speed limit. Horn honking was recorded at a signalised intersection with a hidden camera when the light turned into green in terms of 510 traffic light cycles. Seat belt wearing of 2106 drivers was observed at the same intersection. Findings indicated that (a) mean speed was lower, (b) honked horns were higher, and (c) seat belt use was lower in Ramadan as compared to non-Ramadan, though each negative driving behaviour was prevalent in both periods. Thus this study showed that the Ramadan period had a limited role on speeding, horn honking, and using seat belts.

A Multifaceted Device for Discreetly Acquiring Natural Behaviors of Children with Autism

Autism is a multifaceted neurological disorder that affects the four fundamental areas of sensory processing, communication mechanisms, social interaction skills, and whole child/self-esteem. The underlying mechanisms and symptoms of the disorder have been shown to largely vary from patient to patient, and therefore, a durable, effective therapy is best achieved through multifaceted, multidisciplinary approaches that allow a direct assessment of each individual’s behavior, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The aim of this project was to simulate, design, manufacture, and assess a device that can help cultivate sensory, social, communication, and motor skills in autistic children while being able to extract data of the child’s behavior that could be used by the therapist. Critical components of the toy involve auditory and visual stimulation, as well as interactive mechanisms to promote development. The most important features of the toy are hidden cameras that discreetly monitor the child’s reactions in order to provide analytical feedback mechanisms, allowing parents, caregivers, or therapists to monitor and evaluate the child’s learning and therapy. The performance of the toy was examined on 17 children with autism at two specialized centers for child with developmental disorders. The results showed that the device was found satisfactory by the majority of children as assessed by their willingness to spend time accomplishing the tasks on the device, as well as by captured videos of their natural reactions throughout. Furthermore, improved performance was observed on the same population of children who were tested multiple times, indicating the potential use of the toy for therapeutic and learning purposes.

Multi-level Scalable Textual-Graphical Password Authentication Scheme for Web based Applications

Nowadays, user authentication is one of the important topics in information security. Authentication is necessary in multi-user systems. User name and password are used to authenticate a user. Text-based strong password scheme can provide security to a certain degree. Users tend to pick short passwords or passwords that are easy to remember, which makes the passwords vulnerable for attackers to break. Furthermore, textual password is vulnerable to shoulder-surfing, hidden camera and spy-ware attacks. Graphical authentication has been proposed as a possible alternative solution to text-based authentication, motivated particularly by the fact that humans can remember images better than text. However, they are mostly vulnerable to shoulder surfing. In this paper, we propose a Multi-level Scalable Textual-Graphical Password Authentication Scheme for web based applications. This scheme integrates both graphical and textual password schemes, and provides multi-level authentication scheme as compared to previously proposed single level scheme. In this scheme multi-level authentication is obtained by making use of SMS service, hence provides more secure service. This scheme shows significant potential bridging the gap between conventional textual password and graphical password. Further enhancements of this scheme are proposed and briefly discussed.

Video Voyeurism and Its Awareness

Voyeurism is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other actions usually considered being of a private nature. A voyeur may observe others without them being aware of it by a number of strategies. The voyeur may observe the subject from a distance, or use stealth to observe the subject with the use of peep-holes, two-way mirrors, hidden cameras, secret photography and other devices and strategies. Secret photography may involve the use of normal cameras, but with the photographer being concealed. Sometimes the camera itself is disguised or concealed. The use of telephoto lens enables the distance from the subject to provide concealment. The principal characteristic of voyeurism is that the voyeur does not normally relate directly with the subject of his/her interest, which is often unaware of being observed.
