  • Full Article
We have derived several equations of motion from velocity-time graph. This paper shows that only five different equations of motion are derived from velocity time graph without needing to know the normal and frictional forces acting at the point of contact. We also discuss all the conditions to be an equation of motion. After deriving these five equations of motion, we examine the importance and the educational benefits of these equations of motion.

FPGA implementation of High Order FIR Filter Using Distributed Arithmetic operation
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
The implementation of FIR filters on FPGA based on traditional method costs considerable hardware recourses, which goes against the decrease of circuit scale and the increase of system speed. A new design and implementation of FIR filters using Distributed Arithmetic is provided in this paper to slove this problem. Distributed Arithmetic structure is used to increase the resource usage while pipeline structure is also used to
increase the system speed. In addition, the divided LUT method is also used to decrease the required memory units. The simulation results indicate that FIR filters using Distributed Arithmetic can work stable with high speed and can save almost 50 percent hardware recourses to decrease the circuit scale, and can be applied to a variety of areas for its great flexibility and high reliability.

An Approach to Identify a Model for Efficient Prediction of Exchange Rates Using Setty Volatile Index (SVI)
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
In recent years forecasting of financial data such as stock market, exchange rate, interest rate and bankruptcy has been observed to be a potential field of research due to its importance in financial and managerial decision making. Survey of existing literature reveals that there is a need to develop efficient forecasting models involving less computational load and fast forecasting capability. Our proposed work aims to fulfill this objective by analyzing and comparing different ANN and Fuzzy models with some specified attributes. These networks involve nonlinear inputs and simple ANN structure with few neurons. The models are functional link artificial neural network (FLANN) as well as Dynamic Radial Basis Functional Networks (RBF) model and hybrid NEURO-FUZZY model. These models have been tested to predict currency exchange rate between US dollar Indian Rupees and Japanese Yen and also stock market data like US-RUPEE and IBM etc. The performances of the proposed models have been evaluated through simulation and compared with those obtained from other models. Experimental results are compared on basis of various parameters including Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (AMAPE), Volatility and Error Convergence. An approach is designed with the key parameter SVI (Setty Volatility Index) to classify the dataset and further decide the right model for the prediction problem.

Real Time Visualization of Full Resolution Data of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
As part of the Indian Space program, ISRO has been developing Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites and
deploying the satellite data processing software at various data reception stations. Starting from the first satellite IRS-1A, all IRS series of satellites, have been provided with a sub-sampled mode of image display at all IRS data reception stations. Initially the image extraction from the baseband data and the sub-sampled display was realized through a customized hardware processor. Later on the total real time quick look data processing and display of sub-sampled image data functionality has been shifted to software. With a need for variation in the scope for the application like only data acquisition, data acquisition & quick look display at full resolution /subsampled with quick geometric and radiometric correction, deployment based application re-configurability has become a requirement. This paper presents the design and implementation of a real-time application for IRS satellite data acquisition, archival, preprocessing and visualization of full resolution image data for Resourcesat- 2 satellite by implementing task parallelism on multi-CPU multi core platform architecture which can be reconfigured for selected functions based on the need and platform being used.

Motion Estimation in Medical Video Sequences Using Gabor Filter
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
Motion estimation is the process which determine motion vectors that describe the transformation from one 2D image to another from adjacent frames in a video sequence. It is the motion is in three dimensions but the
images are a projection of the 3D scene onto a 2D plane. By motion estimation, we mean the estimation of the displacement or velocity of image structures from one frame to another in a time sequence of 2-D images. This projected motion is referred to as "apparent motion", "2-Dimage motion", or "optical flow". Optical flow estimation, motion estimation, 2-D motion estimation, or apparent motion estimation have same meanings. The motion vectors may relate to the whole image (global motion estimation) or specific parts, such as rectangular blocks, arbitrary shaped patches or even per pixel. The motion vectors may be described by a translational model or many other models that can approximate the motion of a real video camera, such as rotation and translation in all three dimensions and zoom. Here we are going to present a noble technique by means of what we can predict motion in medical video sequences using Gabor filter. Gabor filters are band pass filters which are used in image processing for feature extraction, texture analysis, and stereo disparity estimation.

Comparison of Histogram Equalization Techniques for Image Enhancement of Grayscale images in Natural and Unnatural light
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
This paper proposes a Adaptive Histogram Equalization method and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization Method for natural and un natural light scheme for adaptive image icontrast enhancement based on a generalization of histogram equalization (HE). HE is a useful technique for improving image contrast, but its effect is too severe for many purposes. However, dramatically different results can be obtained with relatively minor modifications. A concise description of adaptive HE is set out, and this framework is used in a discussion of past suggestions for variations on HE. A key feature of this formalism is a "cumulation function," which is used to generate a grey level mapping from the local histogram. This process can produce a range of degrees of contrast enhancement, at one extreme leaving the image unchanged, at another yielding full adaptive equalization.

This study describes an inertial dynamometer system (test rig) which has been applied to the testing of disc brake pads at different operating conditions. The test rig is equipped with several measuring instruments, and data acquisition systems [DAQ], which are necessary for performing the tests. Two sets of brake pads are tested. This study explains the temperature distribution obtained by experiments on two different shapes of brake discs pads affected by the types of shapes of brake discs pads, disc geometry and operating conditions. The test results also showed that the friction with hatched pad better fade resistance than the others.
