Comparative Analysis of AODV and DSDV Performance in Vanets using NS-2
Статья научная
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) form when vehicles are equipped with devices capable of short-range wireless communication. Vehicular Ad hoc networks involve motion of nodes depending on the mobility model chosen. Three important considerations in simulation of VANETs are mobility models, network simulator and the routing protocols. Selection of appropriate mobility model for evaluating routing protocol leads to efficient simulation results. Performance of routing protocols in VANETs can be measured using four metrics; bandwidth, packet loss, throughput and scalability. This research work is based on the simulation based analysis of Vehicular Ad- hoc networks using NS-2 as the network simulator. Performance evaluation of the protocols is conducted on the basis of four defined metrics and as conclusion is made according to the simulation results.

Статья научная
Vehicle classification has emerged as a significant field of study because of its importance in variety of applications like surveillance, security system, traffic congestion avoidance and accidents prevention etc. So far numerous algorithms have been implemented for classifying vehicle. Each algorithm follows different procedures for detecting vehicles from videos. By evaluating some of the commonly used techniques we highlighted most beneficial methodology for classifying vehicles. In this paper we pointed out the working of several video based vehicle classification algorithms and compare these algorithms on the basis of different performance metrics such as classifiers, classification methodology or principles and vehicle detection ratio etc. After comparing these parameters we concluded that Hybrid Dynamic Bayesian Network (HDBN) Classification algorithm is far better than the other algorithms due to its nature of estimating the simplest features of vehicles from different videos. HDBN detects vehicles by following important stages of feature extraction, selection and classification. It extracts the rear view information of vehicles rather than other information such as distance between the wheels and height of wheel etc.

An enormous amount of information in the form of image and video are dispersed all over the world like any other data therefore, retrieval of a query image from a large database of images is an important undertaking in the area of computer vision and image processing. The traditional text-based approaches for searching images are slow and inefficient. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) provides the solution for efficient retrieval of the image from these image databases. In this paper, an efficient CBIR system is proposed using various colour and texture features. Colour features such as Colour Moments and HSV Histogram and Texture Features like Local Binary Patterns (LBP) are used. Various distance metrics are analysed for retrieval and their performance is compared to get the best distance metric for better retrieval performance. From the experimental analyses on benchmark (WANG) database, it is observed that the City block distance performs consistently encouraging from other measures. Also this paper has introduced the combination of HSV and LBP histogram and evaluated the retrieval performance. The obtained results are very promising than other variants of colour and texture features.

Comparing Nonsubsampled Wavelet, Contourlet and Shearlet Transforms for Ultrasound Image Despeckling
Статья научная
Ultrasound images suffer of multiplicative noise named speckle. Bayesian shrinkage in transform domain is a well-known method based on finding threshold value to suppress the speckle noise. The main problem of applying Bayesian shrinkage is finding the optimum threshold value in appropriate transform domain. In this paper, we compare the performance of adaptive Bayesian thresholding when nonsubsampled Wavelet, Contourlet and Shearlet transforms are used. We processed two synthetic test images and three original ultrasound images as well to demonstrate the efficiency of the designed filters. In order to compare the performance of Bayesian shrinkage when employing the three mentioned transform domain, we used peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), and structural similarity (SSIM) as the full-reference (FR) objective criteria parameters and noise variance (NV), mean square difference (MSD), and equivalent number of looks (ENL) as the no-reference (NR) objective criteria parameters.

This article considers the peculiarities of using circular orthogonal polarization basis for measuring the parameters of an electromagnetic wave. In particular, the angle of inclination of the major axis of the polarization ellipse and the ellipticity coefficient are among measuring parameters. The main expressions for calculation of field parameters in circular and linear orthogonal polarization basis are developed and analyzed. The advantages of using the ring as a measuring antenna in comparison with symmetrical vibrators of the turnstile antenna are substantiated. The expressions obtained in the article for calculating the measurement errors of polarization parameters in a linear orthogonal polarization basis illustrate the multifactorial dependence of the measurement accuracy on the angular and amplitude parameters. In contrast to the linear polarization basis, in case of circular basis, the inclination angle of the polarization ellipse axis can be found by direct measurements of the phase shift, and the accuracy of measuring the ellipticity coefficient is affected only by the error of measuring the ratio of voltage amplitudes, which are proportional to the modules of the field strength vectors of the left and right directions of the circular polarization rotation. This provides better potential accuracy of measurement for the electromagnetic wave parameters when using circular polarization antennas and, correspondingly, more reasonable analysis in the circular orthogonal polarization basis.

Comparison of Wireless MIMO System Under Alamouti's Scheme and Maximum Ratio Combining Technique
Статья научная
In wireless communication fading of channels is the serious cause of the received degraded signals. The effect of fading can be minimized by using various time and space domain techniques. However, space domain techniques are preferred over the others due to its advantages. In this paper, comparison of the wireless MIMO system under Almouti's and maximum ratio combining schemes is presented. Basic idea in these schemes is to transmit and receive more than one copy of the original signals. Using two transmitter antennas and one receiver antenna, the scheme provides the nearly same diversity order as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) with one transmitter antenna, and two receiver antennas. Results for one transmitter and four receivers under MRRC is also presented and compared. Finally, results are presented while varying the average transmitted power.

Compressive Sensing Based Multiple Watermarking Technique for Biometric Template Protection
Статья научная
Biometric authentication system is having several security issues. Two security issues are template protection at system database and at communication channel between system database and matcher subsystem of biometric system. In this paper, two level watermarking technique based on CS Theory framework in wavelet domain is proposed for security and authentication of biometric template at these two vulnerable points. In the proposed technique, generate sparse measurement information of fingerprint and iris biometric template using CS theory framework. This sparse measurement information is used as secure watermark information which is embedding into a face image of same individual for generation of multimodal biometric template. Sparse watermark information is computed using Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) and random seed. The proposed watermarking technique not only provide protection to biometric templates, it also gives computational security against spoofing attack because of it is difficult for imposter to get three secure biometric template information where two encoded biometric template is embed in term of sparse measurement information into third biometric template. Similarity value between original watermark image and reconstructed watermark image is the measuring factor for identification and authentication. The experimental results show that the technique is robust against various attacks.

Reconstruction of a sparse signal from fewer observations require compressive sensing based recovery algorithm for saving memory storage. Various sparse recovery techniques including l_1 minimization, greedy pursuit approaches and non-convex optimization requires sparsity to be known in advance. This article presents the generalized adaptive orthogonal matching pursuit with forward-backward movement under the cumulative coherence property; which removes the need of knowledge of sparsity prior to implementation. In this technique, the forward step increases the size of support set and backward step eliminates the misidentified elements. It selects multiple indices on the basis of maximum correlation by forward-backward movement. The size of backward step is kept smaller than the forward one. These forward-backward steps then iterate and increment through the algorithm adaptively and terminate with stopping condition to ensure the identification of significant components. Recovery performance of proposed algorithm is demonstrated via simulation results including reconstruction of sparse signals in noisy and noise free environment. The algorithm has major advantage that it does not require the knowledge of sparsity in advance in contrast to the earlier reconstruction techniques. The evaluation and comparative analysis of result shows that algorithm leads to the increment in recovery performance and efficiency considerably.
