Face recognition has received an increased attention from several years in the field of image analysis, pattern recognition, and computer vision. In this paper we propose a method to the problem of face recognition. The proposed method consists of two stages. In the first stage regularized linear discriminant analysis is used to extract the most significant and discriminant features and then in the second stage, these features are used by probabilistic reasoning model for classification of unknown face images. Here two databases, the ORL database and the UMIST database are used for experiments and to show the performance of the proposed method.

Software maintenance is a complex and life long process due to unstructured code, team morale, poor visibility of the project, lack of communication techniques and lack of proper test suite. On the other hand extreme programming is an existing process of software development with its challenges practices. In this paper, we propose an iterative maintenance life cycle using extreme programming practices. It would be able to resolve software maintenance issues in the smooth manner. The proposed approach speedsup maintenance process with less effort and produces a more maintainable code for future maintenance and evolution.

The possibility of DSL over power lines has received considerable attention recently to cater to broadband distribution within the premises of a home and in the local area served by a substation. The power line has a very different gauge and topology compared to traditional twisted pair copper used for telephone lines. This paper addresses the dual issues of modelling typical power line channels and analyzes the resultant channel for Multicarrier Transmission. The basic approach to analyze the channel employs ABCD parameters for the individual sections. A bit loading analysis for power line channels over the considered DSL bandwidth of 30 MHz has been presented assuming the Transmit power spectral densities as for ADSL and VDSL2 used in telephone lines. An analysis points to the fact that lower Transmit PSDs would suffice to match the traditional rates achievable over traditional twisted pair copper.

A method is proposed here for development of a new tool which provides fast and efficient way for fault diagnoses in analog CMOS circuits arises due to glitches. The tool follows SBT (simulation before testing) based approach for tests the CMOS analog circuits against faults arises due to glitches. SBT system for fault diagnosis requires some form of a fault dictionary to which the test data is compared. The designed tool generates a fault dictionary which is used in SBT method with distinct pretest and post-test analysis stages. Pretest analysis generates a fault directory. For this the circuit is simulated circuit under all fault combinations, as well as the fault-free case. We can then compute observable variables (voltages or currents), of them, for each combination and store them in an entry of the fault directory.

Optimization of power and speed is a very important issue in low-voltage and low-power applications. In this paper, a 1-bit full adder cell has been successfully analyzed by assigning high-threshold voltage to some transistors and low-threshold voltage to others. Moreover, a robust full adder circuit using dual threshold voltage MOSFETs (DT-MOS) has been proposed. The proposed design features lower power dissipation (by 0.11%), higher computing speed (by 4.23%) and lower energy (power delay product) (by 4.33%). The proposed design also offers 4.2% improvement in delay variability and 3.7% improvement in PDP variability at the expense of 2.5% reduction in power variability against process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variation. The power, speed and energy evaluation has been carried out using extensive simulation on HSPICE circuit simulator. The simulation results are based on 32nm Berkeley Predictive Technology Model (BPTM).

In recent years, a plethora of adiabatic logic styles have been published in literature for ultra low power application, but only very few investigate and compare the performances of these adiabatic logic styles. This paper compares and analyzes the performance of transistor based imperative adiabatic logic styles, using 4-2 compressor circuit as a reference. Significant differences in area occupation, energy consumption, operating frequencies are found among the various logic styles. All the simulations are carried out by CADENCE spice spectra in 0.18μm CMOS technology.

In a vehicle license plate identification system, locating the license plate in the image or video of a vehicle is an important step before final recognition. In the proposed method care has been taken up to extract license plate of motorcycle (size of plate is small and double row plate), car (single as well as double row type), transport vehicle such as bus, truck, dirty plates as well as multiple license plates present in an image frame under consideration. This paper presents a multiple license plate detection algorithm based on mathematical morphology and component filtering. The proposed algorithm consists of three main stages. The three stages involve pre-processing followed by morphological operations and connected component analysis. The algorithm is able to detect single as well as multiple license plates accurately. The algorithm is tested on set of 750 samples containing the vehicle images from India as well as other countries. The success rate is 98.8% for single license plate extraction and 95% for multiple extraction case.

COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm has become widely researched topic in the field of vector rotated Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications due to its simplicity. In this paper, we have represented the design of pipelined architecture for the computation of Sine and Cosine values based on application specific CORDIC processor. The design of CORDIC in the circular rotation mode gives a high system throughput due to its pipelined architecture by reducing latency in each individual pipelined stage. Saving area on silicon substrate is essential to the design of pipelined CORDIC and that can be achieved through the optimization in the number of micro rotations. The computed quantization error is also minimized using required number of iterations. The pipelined architecture can be easily integrated in VLSI technology due to its regularity and modularity.
