Abstract: Object detection has made significant strides in recent years, but it remains a challenging task to accurately and quickly identify and detect objects. While humans can easily recognize objects in images or videos regardless of their appearance, computers face difficulties in this task. Object detection plays a crucial role in computer vision and finds applications in various domains such as healthcare, security, agriculture, home automation and more. To address the challenges of object detection, several techniques have been developed including RCNN, Faster RCNN, YOLO and Single Shot Detector (SSD). In this paper, we propose a modified YOLOv5s architecture that aims …to improve detection performance. Our modified architecture incorporates the C3Ghost module along with the SPP and SPPF modules in the YOLOv5s backbone network. We also utilize the Adam and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) optimizers. The paper also provides an overview of three major versions of the YOLO object detection model: YOLOv3, YOLOv4 and YOLOv5. We discussed their respective performance analyses. For our evaluation, we collected a database of pig images from the ICAR-National Research Centre on Pig farm. We assessed the performance using four metrics such as Precision (P), Recall (R), F1-score and mAP @ 0.50. The computational results demonstrate that our method YOLOv5s architecture achieves a 0.0414 higher mAP while utilizing less memory space compared to the original YOLOv5s architecture. This research contributes to the advancement of object detection techniques and showcases the potential of our modified YOLOv5s architecture for improved performance in real world applications.

Abstract: The technique of determining the borders between several objects or regions in an image is known as edge detection. The edges of an object in an image serve as the object’s limits and can reveal crucial details about the object’s size, shape, and position. The pre-processing stage of edge detection is crucial because it can increase the precision and effectiveness of edge detection algorithms. As low-density or low-pixel values muddy the image, detecting edges in low-resolution images is difficult. This paper aims to introduce LRED, an improved edge detection model for low-resolution images based on Gaussian smoothing. Also used for …image pre-processing and smoothing is the Gaussian filter. The Gaussian smoothing method works well for spotting edges in images. Additionally, we have presented a comprehensive comparison of our proposed approach with three modern, cutting-edge detection approaches and algorithms. Investigations have been conducted on several images in addition to low-quality images to discover edges. RMSE and PSNR are two different evaluation metrics used to measure proposed methods. LRED achieved 90.25% MSE, which is slightly better than the other three approaches which show more reliable outcomes. Show more

Abstract: Privacy-Preserving Fuzzy Commitment Schemes (PPFCS) have emerged as a promising solution for secure Internet of Things (IoT) device authentication, addressing the critical need for privacy and security in the rapidly growing IoT ecosystem. This paper presents a novel PPFCS-based authentication mechanism that protects sensitive user data and ensures secure communication between IoT devices. The proposed scheme leverages error-correcting codes (ECC) and cryptographic hash functions to achieve reliable and efficient authentication. The PPFCS framework allows IoT devices to authenticate themselves without revealing their true identity, preventing unauthorized access and preserving users’ privacy. Furthermore, our PPFCS-based authentication mechanism is resilient against various …attacks, such as replay, man-in-the-middle, and brute-force attacks, by incorporating secure random nonce generation and timely key updates. We provide extensive experimental results and comparative analysis, demonstrating that the proposed PPFCS significantly outperforms existing authentication schemes in terms of security, privacy, and computational efficiency. As a result, the PPFCS offers a viable and effective solution for ensuring secure and privacy-preserving IoT device authentication, mitigating the risks associated with unauthorized access and potential data breaches in the IoT ecosystem.

Abstract: In this study, we investigate the viability of applying fuzzy reinforcement learning (FRL) to Internet of Things-based robots for purposes of autonomous navigation and collision avoidance. The proposed approach utilises FRL, IoT, and a sensor network to give the robot the ability to learn from its environment and act in accordance with those policies. The authors used FRL to train a mobile robot with wheels to move around and avoid obstacles, and then they put the robot through its paces in a virtual world. Results showed that the FRL-based technique improved the robot’s navigation and collision avoidance performance compared to …traditional rule-based approaches. The results of this study indicate that FRL may be a viable technique for enabling autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance in IoT-based robotics. Show more

Abstract: Globally, the two main causes of young people dying are mental health issues and suicide. A mental health issue is a condition of physiological disorder that inhibits with the vital process of the brain. The amount of individuals with psychiatric illnesses has considerably increased during the past several years. The majority of individuals with mental disorders reside in India. The mental illness can have an impact on a person’s health, thoughts, behaviour, or feelings. The capacity of controlling one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviour might help an individual to deal with challenging circumstances, build relationships with others, and navigate life’s problems. …With a primary focus on the healthcare domain and human-computer interaction, the capacity to recognize human emotions via physiological and facial expressions opens up important research ideas as well as application-oriented potential. Affective computing has recently become one of the areas of study that has received the greatest interest from professionals and academics in a variety of sectors. Nevertheless, despite the rise in articles published, the reviews of a particular aspect of affective computing in mental health still are limited and have certain inadequacies. As a result, a literature survey on the use of affective computing in India to make decisions about mental health issues is discussed. As a result, the paper focuses on how traditional techniques used to monitor and assess physiological data from humans by utilizing deep learning and machine learning approaches for humans’ affect recognition (AR) using Affective computing (AfC) which is a combination of computer science, AI, and cognitive science subjects (such as psychology and psychosocial).
