Abstract
In many nations, motorcycle accidents are a big public issue. Despite public
awareness campaigns, the problem continues to grow as a result of poor riding habits
such as riding without a helmet, dangerous driving, drunk driving, riding without
enough sleep, and so on. Because of late help to those who have been in accidents, the
rate of deaths and disabilities is quite high. People who are implicated suffer significant
economic and social consequences as a result of them. As a result, various research
organizations and large motorcycle companies have developed safety systems to
safeguard riders from harm. Furthermore, a dElectronics and Communication
Engineeringnt motorcycle safety system is hard to execute and costly. The integration
of modern communication technologies into the automotive industry allows for greater
assistance to people wounded in traffic accidents, a reduction in the time it takes
emergency services to respond, and an increase in the amount of knowledge they have
about the occurrence. The number of fatalities might be greatly reduced if the resources
necessary for each disaster could be determined more precisely. The developed scheme
calls for every vehicle to be equipped with an on-board unit that detects and reports
accident scenarios to an exterior control unit that assesses the depth of the problem and
provides the needed resources to aid it. The creation of a prototype based on off-th-
-shelf equipment indicates that this technology can considerably reduce the time it
takes to send emergency services following an accident.

Abstract
The disease, Malaria, is caused by Plasmodium Parasite, and is transmitted
via female Anopheles mosquito bite. There are 4 variants of plasmodium which cause
malaria, they are, 1) Plasmodium falciparum, 2) Plasmodium vivax, 3) Plasmodium
ovale, and 4) Plasmodium malariae. Though there are several clinical and laboratory
techniques for finding the presence of malaria, the accuracy and the time required to
determine the presence of the parasite are inadequate. Therefore, in this work, we have
come up with a system that uses image-processing techniques to determine the
presence of malaria in Human RBCs. In addition, the system determines the severity
and stage of the malarial parasite.
Malaria is brought on by the Plasmodium parasite and spread via female Anopheles
mosquito bites. Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, and
Plasmodium malariae are the four plasmodium species that cause malaria. Although
there are a number of clinical and laboratory methods for detecting the presence of
malaria, the speed and precision needed to do so are insufficient. As a result, in this
study, we have developed a system that employs image-processing methods to
ascertain if there is malaria present in human RBCs. The technique also establishes the
malarial parasite's stage and intensity.

Abstract
Defocus blur is extremely common in images captured using optical imaging
systems. It may be undesirable, but may also be an intentional artistic effect, thus it can
either enhance or inhibit our visual perception of the image scene. For tasks, such as
image restoration and object recognition, one might want to segment a partially blurred
image into blurred and non-blurred regions. In this project, we propose a sharpness
metric based on the the Local maximum edge position octal pattern and a robust
segmentation algorithm to separate in- and out-of-focus image regions. The proposed
sharpness metric exploits the observation that most local image patches in blurry
regions have significantly fewer certain local binary patterns compared with those in
sharp regions. Using this metric together with image matting and multiscale fuzzy
inference, this work obtained high-quality sharpness maps. Tests on hundreds of
partially blurred images were used to evaluate our blur segmentation algorithm and six
comparator methods. The results show that our algorithm achieves comparative
segmentation results with the state of the art and has high speed advantage over others.

particular, predictive analytics is a hot cake in the days of social media and social
networks as we grow from data banks to data rivers. This chapter is a glimpse of the
basics of analytics and a few predictive analytic models currently employed in the
analytical circle like Multiple regression, logistic regression and K nearest neighbor
model. As we are in the era of machine learning and artificial intelligence, having a
predictive analytical tool in our toolkit is all the more necessary.

Abstract
Simulated systems are used for modelling and analysis of systems for which
an analytical solution is either not accessible or difficult to achieve. Simulation is a
highly flexible and adaptable discipline within computer science. Because it is simpler
than conventional approaches, which are often challenging, simulation is also chosen as
a method of system analysis. Because of this, simulation is an area with extensive
application and demand, making it interesting and beneficial to have a chapter
dedicated to researching simulation with a case study of modelling a Queuing system.

Abstract
Virtualization is a cloud-computing technology that only needs one CPU to
work. Virtualization makes it look like many machines are working together.
Virtualization focuses mainly on efficiency and performance-related tasks because it
saves time. This paper primarily focuses on operating system virtualization. It is the
modified form of a standard operating system that allows users to operate different
applications that produce a virtual environment to perform various tasks on the same
machine by running other platforms. This virtual machine helps compare the
performance of Type1 and Type2 hypervisors based on how much work they do and
how much memory they use.

Abstract
Cloud computing provides a dynamic model that provides many more
services to users, as well as organizations, that can purchase based on their
requirements. Cloud offers services such as storage for data, a platform for application
development and testing, providing an environment to access web services, and so on.
Common issues in a cloud environment are maintaining the application performance
with Quality of Service (QoS) and Service Level Agreement (SLA) provided by the
service providers to the organization. The major task done by the service providers is to
distribute the workload among multiple servers. An effective load-balancing technique
should satisfy the user requirements through efficient resource allocation in Virtual
Machines. A review of various LB techniques that result in overall performance and
research gaps is discussed in this paper.

Abstract
The current electronic voting system can be hacked easily. There are a lot of
methods adopted to avoid malpractice. This research provides secured voting and
avoids human intervention that results in smooth and secure conduction of elections.
This research adopts biometric fingerprint recognition and face recognition of the voter
for authentication. In an electronic voting system, the first step in the verification
process can be easily achieved with the voter fingerprint data available in this database.
The second step of verification involves the face recognition of the voter by the data
already present in the database. If two-phase verification is done, the voter can proceed
with the voting process and present his/her vote. Then the vote will be encrypted. This
prevents fake votes and ensures perfect polling without any corruption. We have
created a fingerprint-based voting system where the user does not have to take hisher
ID with his/her necessary information. If the details match the previously stored
information of registered fingerprints, a person is allowed to cast his or her vote. If not,
a warning message will be displayed and the person is excluded from voting. In an
election counting stage, the admin will decrypt and count the votes.

Abstract
This study presents a technique for solving the real-time decision-making
difficulty in farming due to sudden changes in situations like atmospheric changes,
monsoons, pest attacks, etc. The future of farming technologies is collecting and
analyzing big information in agriculture to maximize effectiveness that is operational
and minimize work costs. But there tend to be more styles to comprehend with all the
IoT, therefore the Internet of Things will touch many more companies than simply
farming. This study is focused on adapting the capability of IoT for data collection of
features of crops and for automated decision-making with data analytics algorithms.

Abstract
One of the key predictions that had combined bio-sciences with innovation
was bio-metrics, which represents a tool for security and criminology analysts to
develop more accurate, robust, and certain frameworks. Biometrics, when combined
with different combination techniques like feature-level, score-level, and choice-level
combination procedures, remained one of the most researched technologies. Starting
from uni-modular biometrics as unique marks, faces, and iris, they progress to
multimodal bio-metrics. By presenting a similar investigation of frequently used and
referred to uni- and multimodal biometrics, such as face, iris, finger vein, face and iris
multimodal, face, unique mark, and finger vein multimodal, this paper will attempt to
lay the groundwork for analysts interested in enhanced biometric frameworks. This
comparative research includes the development of a comparison model based on DWT
and IDWT. The method towards combining the modalities also entails applying a
single-level, two-dimensional wavelet (DWT) that has been cemented using a Haar
wavelet to accomplish the best pre-taking care of to eliminate disturbance. Each pixel
in the picture is subjected to a different filtering operation in order to determine the
peak signal to noise extent (PSNR). This PSNR analyses the mean square error (MSE)
to quantify the disruption to hail before playing out the division of the largest dataset to
the chosen MSE. In the most recent advancement, each pixel's concept is fixed up
using the opposing two-dimensional Haar wavelet (IDWT), creating a longer image
that is better able to recognise approbation, affirmation, and confirmation of parts. The
MATLAB GUI is used to implement the diversions for this enhanced blend
investigation, and the obtained outcomes are satisfactory.

Abstract
Performance prediction is the forecast of future performance conditions
based on past and present information. Forecasts can be made about companies,
departments, systems, processes, and employees. This study focuses on assessing
employee performance in terms of employee behavior, work, and growth potential.
Organizations benefit when their employees perform well. Therefore, predicting
employee performance plays an important role in a growing organization. To this end,
we propose three machine learning algorithms: a support vector machine, a decision
tree (j48), and a naive Bayes classifier. These can predict employee behavior in the
workplace. Comparing the results, the Naive Bayes algorithm shows better results than
the other two algorithms on the basis of metrics such as timeliness, error loss, and
accuracy.

Abstract
The discipline of artificial intelligence (AI), which trains computers to
comprehend and analyse pictures using computer vision, is flourishing, particularly in
the medical industry. The well-known non-invasive diagnostic procedure known as
CCTA (Coronary Computerized Tomography Angiography) is used to diagnose
cardiovascular disease (CD). Pre-processing CT Angiography pictures is a crucial step
in computer vision-based medical diagnosis. Implementing image enhancement
preprocess to reduce noise or blur pixels and weak edges in a picture marks the
beginning of the research stages. Using Python and PyCharm(IDE) editor, we can build
Edge detection routines, smoothing/filtering functions, and edge sharpening functions
as a first step in the pre-processing of CCTA pictures.

Abstract
The patient-monitoring smart wheelchair system is a mobility aid for people
with disabilities and continuously tracks the user's vital body metrics. Four
interfaces—eyeball control, gesture control, joystick control, and voice control—have
been created for wheelchair control in order to cater to various limitations. The image
of the eyeball is captured using a camera. In order to make the necessary decisions
based on the position of the eyeball, LabVIEW is used. The wheelchair movement can
also be controlled by the other three modes. Anti-collision mechanisms are
implemented using ultrasonic sensors. In the wheelchair, body temperature and heart
rate monitoring provision is made. If any parameter is outside of a safe range, this
system will notify the appropriate medical authorities and the wheelchair user's chosen
individuals. The finished product is an innovative assistive technology that would
simplify and lessen the stress in its user's life.

Abstract
Cyberattacks on the power grid serve as a reminder that while the smart
Internet of Things (IoT) can help us control our lightbulbs, it also runs the risk of
putting us in the dark if attacked. Many works of literature have recently attempted to
address the issues surrounding IoT security, but few of them tackle the serious dangers
that the development of quantum computing poses to IoT. Lattice-based encryption, a
likely contender for the next post-quantum cryptography standard, benefits from strong
security guarantees and great efficiency, making it well-suited for IoT applications. In
this article, we list the benefits of lattice-based cryptography and the most recent
developments in IoT device implementations.
The Internet of Things (IOT) is a new technology that is anticipated to improve human
lives. According to Cisco research, by 2020, there will be a vast array of IOT devices
that will span every industry, including transportation, healthcare, and smart gadgets
for every aspect of daily life. IOTs are improving user experience by making smart
devices smarter and their services of high quality. The devices' unfettered access to the
whole network makes the IOT's security issues more susceptible. The research paper
will contribute to the presentation of a compiled report on the security issues with IOTs
and the cryptographic techniques utilised to address them.

Abstract
The recently developed technology in autos makes traffic signal prediction
devices obligatory. It teaches users how to drive safely and manoeuvre their vehicles
effectively. Due to drivers' various forms of attention, the number of accidents is rising
alarmingly nowadays. The danger of distracted driving, which causes accidents, is
decreased thanks to this technology, which also assists in identifying and providing
information based on data. The notion of machine learning is presented, and the
concepts of supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning are
covered under the heading of categorization and serve as the main principle. Linear
regression, neural networks, naive Bayes, random forests, support vector machines,
clustering, etc. are some types of models that machine learning may give. This study
describes how to train a model using machine learning, with the basic principle being
to divide the data into training, testing, and validation. The last section of this chapter
discusses how to access machine learning methods to improve the quality of a machine
learning project. The suggested approach provides an explanation of the combined
model of the modern convolutional neural network (CNN) and the classic support
vector machine (SVM) for traffic sign identification. Essentially, a CNN model was
trained to produce this model. Several CNN model designs, including LeNet, AlexNet,
and ResNet-50, may be used here. The subsequent layers of CNN's output may be
utilised as features. These characteristics were added to SVM for categorization
purposes.
