Now a day in India here is automation in every field even in agriculture also. Appropriate ambient conditions are necessary for optimum plant growth, improved crop yields, and efficient use of water and other resources. Automating the data acquisition process of the soil conditions and various climatic parameters that govern plant growth allows information to be collected at high frequency with less labor requirement with the help of robot with high quality camera for leaf diseases detection using line follower image algorithm. Different types of sensors are used such as LM 35, humidity, soil fidelity and Light sensors for controlling and monitoring plant house. The Robot camera detects an image is in the form of JPEG, sends to ARM controller by using Zigbee Transmission theory in an long distance away from plants for plant health detection automatically and controlling action is done such as to control the motor drive by the SPDT relays also.

Urban advancement is a noteworthy issue in metropolitan domains in the country, with enormous impact on economy, travel conduct, land utilize, and purpose behind uneasiness for some drivers. Bangalore today is a standout among the most taken care of urban communities in the country with the great improvement in the IT business and the increase in the amount of openings for work in the city. With the expansion in populace, there is a relating increase in number of vehicles in the city and enormous increment in the interest in area. In Bangalore there is a problem in extension for streets development and the need to utilize existing streets for smooth development of vehicles. These problems get to be compulsory for the organization to assure better parking facilities. Due to increase in the traffic, the waiting time at the signalized intersections increases. In order to minimize the waiting time, the PTV Vissim software is used and models were developed and proposals were made.

Software Architecture

Software architecture research has emerged over the past decade, as the fundamental study of the overall structure of software systems, particularly the relations among subsystems and components. Building the foundation for software architecture is the main focus of this paper. The paper started with developing an intuition for software architecture by appealing to several well-established architectural disciplines. Considering this intuition, a model of software architecture is presented that comprises of three components: elements, form, and rationale. The paper provides a classification of software architectures which turn out to be the foundation for the establishment of marketplaces for software components. The basis of component marketplace lies in the framework of key properties of software architecture. We can understand the development and scenario of software architecture research by examining the research paradigms used to establish its results.

This paper tries to propose a solution for various issues that uncover while migrating the data from old legacy systems to new systems. Business organizations implement new Software Application System to replace the functionalities of their major processes by their old legacy systems from time to time. Data Migration is the procedure of relocating data from one framework then onto the other while changing the capacity, database or application. Complexities arise when there is a try to take the information (data) right from the legacy framework (system) and change or modify it to fit into the new framework (system). Mostly the structure and the data types of the old legacy systems are different in relation to the new system being implemented; the difference is simply not constrained to the table names, field names, properties or sizes. The types of databases are distinct, as also the entity relationships in the new framework may not compatible with the earlier legacy systems. To get the legacy data into its new application format, a certain number of modifications and transformations must take place. These modifications and transformations are known as 'Data Conversion'. During the implementation of new framework, the current structure which is being used by the old legacy system is taken into account and is mapped to the new framework being designed and implemented.

The objective of salient region detection is to separate salient region from entire image. This salient region detection framework consists of a structure-guided statistical textural distinctiveness approach. This approach includes the five main stages: i) image decomposition ii) textural representation, iii) texture modeling, iv) matrix construction, and v) saliency map computation. In the image decomposition stage, decomposition of image into structural image elements to learn a structure-guided texture model. In second stage, define a rotational-invariant neighborhood based texture feature model that represents the underlying textural characteristics of regions in a local manner. In texture modeling stage, Sparse texture modeling is done using structure-guided texture learning. In matrix construction stage, characterize all pair-wise statistical textural distinctiveness within the sparse texture model of the image and construct a textural distinctiveness matrix. In the final stage, the saliency of a region can be computed as the expected statistical textural distinctiveness of the region in the given image .The proposed approach has been extensively evaluated on images from MSRA-1000 datasets.

A chemically modified electrode was successfully fabricated by means of depositing a thin layer of Copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) on an amine adsorbed gold nanoparticle graphite paraffin wax composite electrode using a new approach. The electrochemical characteristics of the modified electrode were studied using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The modified electrode was able to catalyze dopamine (DA) and moreover was able to eliminate the electrode fouling caused by the electrochemical oxidation of dopamine at the bare electrode.. However when the modified electrode was further covered with a Nafion membrane, the interference could be diminished. The catalytic current for oxidation of dopamine at the modified electrode increased linearly with a concentration range of 3.5 x 10-6 to 1.4 x 10-3 M. of dopamine with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. The limit of detection was found to be 1.2x10-7M. Based on S/N=3. Flow injection analysis technique was used for the determination of dopamine and it was found that the electrode produced excellent reproducible results.

Fire detection Methods

Fire Detection system plays an important role in surveillance and security systems. Fire detection systems are primarily designed to warn occupants of fire so that they may safely evacuate the premises. Correctly maintained and operating systems are effective and proven life saving devices. The available methods are based on mainly color and motion based methods, which detects fire using the color and motion features of fire. We can also use several classifiers to classify the fire pixels from non-fire pixels. The combination of several classifiers for the training process will give high performance. The system which uses the complementary information, based on color, shape variation, and motion analysis, will give better recognition compared to other methods.

Keywords : Fire detection, Multi-Expert Systems, motion based methods, color based methods.

This paper presents a reversible data hiding method with contrast enhancement for medical images by preserving authenticity. Here the objective of reversible data hiding is to embed some secret information such as diagnosis report, patient ID etc., into the medical image in an invisible manner. In addition with the embedding of information into the image the proposed method achieves contrast enhancement without any visual distortions as in the previous methods. In addition with the contrast enhancement, the proposed method also provide security by introducing a visually meaningful image encryption so that instead of producing a noise like or texture like encrypted image this method will produce a visually meaningful encrypted image. Thereby it reduces the chance of security attacks. Also the embedding of digital watermark with this encryption will helps to ensure the authenticity of the medical images.
