Tracking of Under Water Objects using Particle Filter Algorithm

Abstract: It is difficult to track objects in under water, marine sciences and home security. To track the motion of objects which are in linear and gaussian system it will be quite difficult for trackers. The optics camera is subject to effect light and opaque, its visibility is very poor in under water. The other solution for optics camera is Forward sonar images, but the resulted tracked sonar images are with high noise and low contrast. In addition to provide effective result for tracked images we are using Particle filter algorithm. In this article we are modifying the traditional systems by tracking the motion of non-linear and nongaussian system by using particle filter algorithm. To solve non-Gaussian problems an image processing is used to detect and track the underwater object automatically.

Automatic Door Lock Using Microcontroller

Home security is one of the common worries for anyone to have. Certainly, it is necessary to ensure the security of house from whether a thief or other crimes. One of the ways to ensure the security of house is by locking the door with a key. On one hand, key is one of the oldest forms of security, there are already various shapes and kinds of keys. On the other hand, key is not the most practical usage of security, either the person brings the key together with them or leave it somewhere else only they can know. This can be a problem if somehow, they lost the key or if the key got stolen. This can be solved with a help of technology like automation. This article is about designing an automatic door lock with a microcontroller called ESP32. This door lock can help locking the house door automatically by a simple click on your smartphone. It works by controlling the movement of the key when you want to whether locking or open the door by using a servo motor that are also controlled with a microcontroller thru a smartphone.

Bicycle Protection System Using GPS/GSM Modules аnd Radio Protocol

Bicycle security systems have not developed as much as home security, and it is difficult to find competitive examples when researching the market. Many security systems on the market have weaknesses that can be bypassed or are not convenient to use. The technologies used to protect bicycles are rather uniform, predictable and not reliable. Most of such systems do not have convenient means of monitoring, such as, for example, a mobile application. Improvement of these systems, introduction of new technologies is very relevant in the field of bicycle protection. This is due to the unpopularity of these systems, their unreliability and lack of control over the phone. The majority of bicycle users are inclined to use proven methods – bicycle locks. But this decision is wrong.The system with GPS is so easy not to be deceived – it has more than one level of protection, and quickly warns the user about a threat. It has deterrents and means of attracting the attention of others.In addition, the use of GSM technology facilitates the possibility of control through a mobile application, which simplifies work with the system.Using GPS is the best way to monitor the position of the bicycle in space, and to track movement in unpredictable circumstances. GPS opens a number of possibilities and increases the functionality of the system. From monitoring the situation of the protection object to collecting statistics].The GSM module is almost never used in bicycle security systems. This is due to the concept of bike guarding, which says why use the ability to transmit data to any corner of the world if the user does not move more than 100 meters from the guarded object. But this concept is wrong. GSM is one of the fastest solutions among analogs. But transmission speed is not the only criterion for information transmission in wireless systems.Since the bicycle is a moving object, and the security system must be wireless, an important criterion for the functioning of such a system is the operating time.This article deals with the problem of protecting a moving object, using GSM and GPS modules. The main features of existing systems in this area, their advantages and disadvantages are shown. The advantages of using a radio protocol for bicycle protection are given. A model of the system that meets the needs of the user has been developed.

Best Machine Learning Model For Face Recognition in Home Security Application

Particularly since the COVID-19 outbreak, Indonesia has seen an annual surge in criminal prosecutions. To increase home security, many technological advances have been made. Face recognition served as the main form of security for almost all of them. Face detection, face segmentation, and face recognition are the three steps in the face recognition process. To avoid misclassification and increase system dependability, accurate recognition of faces becomes crucial in security systems. The optimization tool Grid Search CV produces using a number of machine learning methods that are proposed. Each machine learning has been created using its best model and has attained accuracy levels of at least 90%. The most effective strategy is SVM, which has 100% accuracy rates. A technique for choosing the best model is an alternative. The computation time will be compared to that of more complex systems before these results are eventually communicated to the real system

Social media analytics for mining customer complaints to explore product opportunities

This research develops a social media analytics (SMA) methodology to analyze product complaints from social media for exploring product opportunities. The methodology contains the following steps. Sentiment analysis is used to select negative posts that contain customer complaints related to unsatisfactory products. The latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling technique is applied to extract latent topics from the negative posts. Then, a new opportunity evaluation framework for handling consumers' complaints is developed to discover important and emerging product topics. Topic engagement analysis based on user engagement indicators is used to measure how well the user attention to each negative topic, while topic emergence analysis based on the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) is to measure the topic emergence level. Further, this research formulates a new product strategy map that prioritizes negative topics for developing product improvement strategies. Finally, KeyGraph based on the chance discovery theory is applied to further explore product opportunities based on less frequent but important terms in the collected textual data for enhancing consumer experience. A smart home application is used as a case study. Ten topics are extracted and several critical topics are identified, such as “after-sales services”, “home security systems“, and ”media streaming devices“. In addition, through KeyGraph analysis, several product strategies are recommended, including offering quality after-sales services, increasing product and service reliability, and providing seamless integration of various home devices. The developed methodology can help firms discover critical product topics and provide insightful information for developing product improvement strategies.

Insecure Housing and the Ongoing Search for Ontological Security: How Low-Income Older Women Cope

ABSTRACT The paper examines how people experiencing persistent housing insecurity hold on to or restore ontological security. Conceptually it recognises ontological security as an “ongoing accomplishment” that is “actively sought”, and introduces four coping constructs theorised by Giddens as ways that individuals cope with persistent threats to security. The domestic practices of low-income, single older women living in various forms of insecure housing in Australia are the focus. The paper identifies “emotion-focused” and “action-focused” strategies through which women sought ontological security, including efforts to mentally accommodate insecurity, tenancy practices, through which they engaged with housing risk, and the use of storage facilities as holding sites of identity and routine. These strategies resonate with and extend Giddens' four coping constructs to the housing field, reflecting pragmatic acceptance of housing risk, sustained optimism in the face of housing risk, cynical pessimism, and engagement with housing risk. The paper reveals dynamic and fraught relations between home and ontological security that are frequently an exercise in cruel optimism.

FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY INVENTORY AND ASSOCIATIONS WITH RACE, ETHNICITY, INCOME AND FOOD INSECURITY

Abstract PURPOSE Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an autoimmune disease that consists of Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Food insecurity is defined as limited or uncertain access to enough food. It is estimated that 1 in 7 children in the United States experience food insecurity or about 13 million children. Louisiana has one of the higher rates of food insecurity in the country with over 249,000 children affected. Food insecurity has been associated with worse health outcomes in children including developmental risks, poor mental health, and poor educational outcomes. Functional Disability Inventory (FDI) is a measure of limitations in both physical and psychosocial functioning secondary to physical health. Our hypothesis is that patients in food insecure homes will have higher FDI scores compared to those in food secure homes. METHODS This study is a prospective study of newly diagnosed IBD patients seen by the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at Children’s Hospital of New Orleans. Patients were screened for food insecurity using the United States Department of Agriculture’s food insecurity screening questionnaire and the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Food Insecurity 2-Question Screen. Disability scores were obtained at diagnosis using the FDI self-reporting questionnaire if older than 12 years of age or a parent form was completed for patients less than 12. RESULTS Our study consisted of 20 newly diagnosed pediatric IBD patients with an average age of 14.5 years. Nineteen (95%) patients had CD. Most patients were female (70%), non-Hispanic white (50%) with Medicaid (55%) as their primary insurance. Eight (40%) patients were African American and two (10%) were listed as other. Eight patients or their caregivers identified as living in a food insecure home (40%) and these patients averaged a FDI score of 10.2 The food secure group had an average FDI of 9.3. Non-Hispanic, white patients had an average FDI score of 10.5 while the minority patients had an average FDI of 8.5. Only two patients lived in an area with a median household income below poverty with an average FDI of 15.5. Ten patients lived below the state median income and had an average FDI was 8.2. Those patients living in areas above the state median income level, 8 total, had the highest FDI scores, 10.8. CONCLUSION Food insecurity had higher rates of disability scores compared to families from food secure homes. Families in higher income areas and who were non-Hispanic white had higher FDI scores compared to minority patients and those in lower income areas. Further data will be collected with changes in FDI through the first 6 months of diagnosis. Additional larger studies are needed to determine a relationship between FDI scores and food insecurity in pediatric IBD.

Metal Oxide Gas Sensors to Study Acetone Detection Considering Their Potential in the Diagnosis of Diabetes: A Review.

Metal oxide (MOx) gas sensors have attracted considerable attention from both scientific and practical standpoints. Due to their promising characteristics for detecting toxic gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared with conventional techniques, these devices are expected to play a key role in home and public security, environmental monitoring, chemical quality control, and medicine in the near future. VOCs (e.g., acetone) are blood-borne and found in exhaled human breath as a result of certain diseases or metabolic disorders. Their measurement is considered a promising tool for noninvasive medical diagnosis, for example in diabetic patients. The conventional method for the detection of acetone vapors as a potential biomarker is based on spectrometry. However, the development of MOx-type sensors has made them increasingly attractive from a medical point of view. The objectives of this review are to assess the state of the art of the main MOx-type sensors in the detection of acetone vapors to propose future perspectives and directions that should be carried out to implement this type of sensor in the field of medicine.
