-We share our experience in planning, designing and deploying a wireless sensor network of one square kilometre area. Environmental data such as soil moisture, temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity are collected in this area situated in the semi-arid region of Karnataka, India. It is a hope that information derived from this data will benefit the marginal farmer towards improving his farming practices. Soon after establishing the need for such a project, we begin by showing the big picture of such a data gathering network, the software architecture we have used, the range measurements needed for determining the sensor density, and the packaging issues that seem to play a crucial role in field deployments. Our field deployment experiences include designing with intermittent grid power, enhancing software tools to aid quicker and effective deployment, and flash memory corruption. The first results on data gathering look encouraging.
Edge detection is an essential processused to determine the object margins in most of the computer vision applications. Sobel edge detection algorithm, which is a simple method of edge detection, detects edges of various objects in an image. Real-time image applications need to be processed with large pixel data for a given time interval. So, Most of the VLSI architectures proposed for implementing sobeledge detection systems use FPGA, due to the parallel computing and reconfigurable feature. So, this paper introduces various VLSI architectures of sobel edge detection and comparesthe parameters like execution time, power dissipation with respect to similar input image size, different clock frequencies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
