Abstract In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the ever-increasing number of devices connected to the IoT networks also increases the energy consumption on the edge. This is prohibitive since the devices living on the edge are generally resource constrained devices in terms of energy consumption and computational power. Thus, trying to tackle this issue, in this paper, a fully automated end-to-end IoT system for real time monitoring of the status of a moving vehicle is proposed. The IoT system consists mainly of three components: (1) the ultra-low power consumption Wireless Sensor Node (WSN), (2) the IoT gateway and… More >

Abstract Myzus persicae (M. persicae) is now considered a threat to agricultural crops due to economic losses. Numerous synthetic insecticides applied every year against M. persicae, are reported to be unsafe for environment, humans, and beneficial insects. Furthermore, several species of Myzus have been found to develop resistance due to over application of these insecticides. Therefore, it is required to find some novel insecticide that would be safe for the environment as well as for humans. In the current study, two major pure constituents α-pinene and β-caryophyllene were evaluated for their insecticidal potential against M. persicae using a fumigant toxicity assay.… More >

Abstract Presently, video surveillance is commonly employed to ensure security in public places such as traffic signals, malls, railway stations, etc. A major challenge in video surveillance is the identification of anomalies that exist in it such as crimes, thefts, and so on. Besides, the anomaly detection in pedestrian walkways has gained significant attention among the computer vision communities to enhance pedestrian safety. The recent advances of Deep Learning (DL) models have received considerable attention in different processes such as object detection, image classification, etc. In this aspect, this article designs a new Panoptic Feature Pyramid Network based Anomaly Detection and… More >

Abstract Recently, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) find their applicability in several real-time applications such as disaster management, military, surveillance, healthcare, etc. The utilization of WSNs in the disaster monitoring process has gained significant attention among research communities and governments. Real-time monitoring of disaster areas using WSN is a challenging process due to the energy-limited sensor nodes. Therefore, the clustering process can be utilized to improve the energy utilization of the nodes and thereby improve the overall functioning of the network. In this aspect, this study proposes a novel Lens-Oppositional Wild Goose Optimization based Energy Aware Clustering (LOWGO-EAC) scheme for WSN-assisted real-time… More >

Abstract Handling sentiment drifts in real time twitter data streams are a challenging task while performing sentiment classifications, because of the changes that occur in the sentiments of twitter users, with respect to time. The growing volume of tweets with sentiment drifts has led to the need for devising an adaptive approach to detect and handle this drift in real time. This work proposes an adaptive learning algorithm-based framework, Twitter Sentiment Drift Analysis-Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (TSDA-BERT), which introduces a sentiment drift measure to detect drifts and a domain impact score to adaptively retrain the classification model with domain relevant… More >

Abstract Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems play a critical role in the management and regulation of critical infrastructure. SCADA systems brings us closer to the real-time application world. All process and equipment control capability is typically provided by a Distributed Control System (DCS) in industries such as power stations, agricultural systems, chemical and water treatment plants. Instead of control through DCS, this paper proposes a SCADA and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) system to control the ratio control division and the assembly line division inside the chemical plant. A specific design and implementation method for… More >

Abstract The performance of Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR) depends on the hand shape. Segmentation helps in the recognition of hand gestures for more accuracy and improves the overall performance compared to other existing deep neural networks. The crucial segmentation task is extremely complicated because of the background complexity, variation in illumination etc. The proposed modified UNET and ensemble model of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) undergoes a two stage process and results in proper hand gesture recognition. The first stage is segmenting the regions of the hand and the second stage is gesture identification. The modified UNET segmentation model is trained using… More >

Abstract The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging network technology that has gained popularity because to its low cost, flexibility, and seamless services. Software defined networking (SDN) technology plays a critical role in network administration in the future generation of VANET with fifth generation (5G) networks. Regardless of the benefits of VANET, energy economy and traffic control are significant architectural challenges. Accurate and real-time traffic flow prediction (TFP) becomes critical for managing traffic effectively in the VANET. SDN controllers are a critical issue in VANET, which has garnered much interest in recent years. With this objective, this study develops… More >
