Today, use of mobile devices is very common by everyone, including the farmers. Introduction Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has seen a keen role in daily life Earlier, farmers used to depend on clouds for rains were looking into Cloud Computing (CC) their solutions towards cultivation better crops modern agricultural world. The conventional methods farmers, particularly India, are slow unreliable. damaged field itself due disease attacks lack information resources. This...

Dynamic gesture recognition is one of the challenging research areas due to variations in pose, size, and shape signer's hand. In this letter, Multiscaled Multi-Head Attention Video Transformer Network (MsMHA-VTN) for dynamic hand proposed. A pyramidal hierarchy multiscale features extracted using transformer multiscaled head attention model. The proposed model employs different dimensions each which enables it provide at level.

This paper reports a concurrent dualband occupancy sensor, based on Doppler principle, for monitoring of human presence in room. The proposed sensor operates simultaneously at 2.44 and 5.25-GHz frequency bands. prototype has been realized using own customized subsystems. A measurement setup developed off-the-shelf laboratory equipment the prototype. room predicted from analysis correlation spectrum signals received individual bands estimation direction arrival signals. main advantage lies...

Script-based text document classification is an important field of research in the context multilingual textual processing. But, all script identification techniques available literature so far do not consider handwritten documents. Variations writing style, character size, inter-line and inter-word spacings, etc. make recognition process difficult unreliable when these algorithms, more specifically visual appearance based approaches, are applied directly on hand-written Therefore, this...

The present paper reports on a study of the HVAC energy usage for an EREV (extended range electric vehicle) implementation localized cooling/heating system. Components in system use thermoelectric (TE) devices to target occupant's chest, face, lap and foot areas. A novel contact TE seat was integrated into Human subject comfort rides thermal manikin tunnel were used establish equivalent baseline test results indicate that, with system, savings 37% are achieved cooling conditions (ambient...

In this paper, we consider the problem of spectrum sensing cyclostationary signals for cognitive radios. It is shown that detection performance in case may be improved by enhancing features signal interest. The optimal filter revisited, following which an adaptive space-time structure exploiting spatial, temporal and spectral coherence a incident upon antenna array proposed signal. A low complexity adaptation algorithm also proposed. detector evaluated compared with standard methods....

The power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) method is seen as one of the advantageous, desirable and enticing strategies for radio that promises improved spectral efficiency in next decade. This paper focuses on resource utilisation problems NOMA downlink network which Base Station (BS) placed at center cellular cell. Consequently, uniformly distributed users communicate with BS using protocol. Maximizing system throughput such networks under various practical constraints...
