​Project Abstract ​Today, the revolutionary computer-tech industry is doing wonders for mankind that are unprecedented. Computer engineers need to play their role in alleviating the most fatal stigma faced by humans: Traffic Accidents and Rush Hours. To extract the images exclusively of fast moving vehicles at a highway and applying background removal processing techniques, the computer program could help predict the future course of the vehicle and stymie the possibility of an accident to occur. Motion vectors is a very useful resource in this regard. A lot of work has been accomplished on tracking man-driven vehicles but our project would have the upswing of foretelling traffic jams and auguring the probability of a vehicle to encounter an accident by predicting its future course using motion vectors. Our algorithms would be based on Python and Open CV for tracking objects for their motion vectors. We would use a camera contraption to obtain a holistic geographic view of the highway to cover maximum possible routes and thus increase the efficacy of our algorithm. To test the durability of our hardware, we test our device on a number of different camera contraptions which produce the most efficient results along with testing it on different operating system. We use three frames and their absolute difference give us the detected vehicle. Stability techniques are used to mitigate the effect of vehicular headlights to make our project versatile to function at any time of the day.​
​​Project Title Incorporation of Leap Motion in a Real Time Strategy Simulation

​​Project Supervisor(s) ​​Dr Arslan Shaukat
​Project Abstract For now over a decade, real-time strategy (RTS) games have been challenging intelligence, human and artificial (AI) alike, as one of the top genre in terms of overall complexity. RTS is a prime example problem featuring multiple interacting imperfect decision makers. Elaborate dynamics, partial observability, as well as a rapidly diverging action space render rational decision making somehow elusive. Humans deal with the complexity using several abstraction layers, taking decisions on different abstract levels. Current agents, on the other hand, remain largely scripted and exhibit static behavior, leaving them extremely vulnerable to flaw abuse and no match against human players. In this paper, we propose to mimic the abstraction mechanisms used by human players for designing AI for RTS games. Furthermore, to differentiate from generic RTS games, we propose the incorporation of the hand gesture recognition from Leap Motion to act as the controller. The game itself will be created using already created software and tutorials available on the internet, while the inter-operability of the Leap Motion will be researched upon and implemented from said research. In short this project’s goal is to create a better decision making AI and to have the user’s hand gestures control the game.
​​Project Title ​Neurofeedback Therapy System for ADHD Treatment​
​Group Members ​Maryam Binte Zafar
​​Project Supervisor(s) ​​Dr Usman Akram
​Project Abstract ​Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological/psychological disorder that is characterized by slow brain activity. About 7 percent of school-age children worldwide are diagnosed with ADHD, according to an Australian study (2015). People diagnosed with ADHD find it difficult to perform cognitive tasks, pay attention and focus. Recently, Neurofeedback therapy has emerged as a complimentary treatment for ADHD, alongside drugs. It involves training the brain and tuning it to function more effectively through real-time monitoring of physiological activity of the brain while the user engages in a task requiring attention, concentration and cognition. The method most commonly used for real-time monitoring is electroencephalography (EEG); different features of the EEG signals are monitored which include SMR (Sensorimotor Rhythm) activity, Theta/Beta ratio and SCP (Slow Cortical Potential). This being a relatively new area of research, other features of EEG may lead to better monitoring. This project aims at developing an interactive application for brain training, designing a real-time signal acquisition protocol, designing real-time signal processing and analysis protocols and developing an interface to visualise brain activity at real-time. The project will employ the Emotiv EPOC headset to acquire EEG signals according to the 10 – 20 system. The acquired signals will be processed and the features will be extracted using the Emotiv SDK that runs with MATLAB. The analysis of thesefeatures will revealthe progress of the subject. The utility of this project is using neurofeedback therapy to compliment other ADHD treatments and improving concentration and attentiveness in otherwise healthy subjects. ​

​Project Abstract ​Energy saving and automation has become the hype of the new era. The introduction of this in homes is being practiced around the world. However, we detected a need to design such a system that is easy and cheap to deploy that offers complete automation and control of home appliances. The aim of the project is to build a working prototype which will compromise of a switch that will communicate with a load to operate its functionality. All communication will be wireless, over Wifi. The system, once deployed, will offer more than a remote control of appliances. A combination of machine learning algorithms will be employed to learn the schedule of the user in order to emulate and optimize the usage of electricity in a given home. The algorithms will take into view the preferences and routine of the user, and will utilize other relevant data taken from online sources. Using this data, a schedule is prepared, whose main goal is to minimize both the electricity usage of the home and the total bill cost. With the permission of the user, this new schedule may be applied, and would control the timing and duration of when each device is turned on or off.

​Project Abstract ​A person’s normal reaction to any stressful condition is basically anxiety where a person feels butterflies in his/her stomach or feels apprehensive or fearful. Anxiety symptoms include symptoms as common as headache, stomachache, vomiting, insomnia, restlessness, diarrhea, and as serious and rare as brain tumor. The normal breathing rate of a person is 16-20 breaths per minute, but an anxious person’s breathing rate reaches up to 35-40 breaths per minute. Given the prevalence and adverse effects of anxiety and anxiety disorders, our product helps people regulate their anxiety through slow-paced breathing. Slow-paced breathing reduces the perceived stress which results in regulating person’s emotions. A chest-band consisting of sensors and actuators paired with a mobile-app will collect the real-time data of a person. The user can personalize their experience by first training the device and the app according to his breathing pattern. If it detects an increase in breathing rate, it will automatically generate vibrotactile patterns that are going to be similar to a person’s breathing pattern already configured by the user. Since the goal of the product is to pace breathing inconspicuously, the person will start breathing at the pace of the vibrotactile patterns being generated by the device. Hence reducing the increased rate in breathing and indirectly calming the person and reducing stress.

​Project Abstract ​Any human limb is irreplaceable such that if any limb is lost unfortunately, it has a lot of psychological and social impacts on the amputee. With the world excelling rapidly in the field of robotics and prosthetics, it is developing new ways to help amputees. It is being done by making artificial limbs that mimic the same function. So our system will be different from the conventional prosthesis techniques and would be trained for data acquisition and data processing in which the prosthesis grasping will be applicable to the objects lying under the common categories of  Power grasp, Precision grasp, Card grasp, Cylindrical and Tripod grasp. The proposed control system will be based on development of a software mechanism for grasping of the prosthetic hand through the extraction of 3D information from digital images by installing a camera for visual feedback from the patient who wants to move his hand for grasping some object. It will move the prosthetic arm in the specified direction, minimizing patient’s efforts for better grip and improved movement.

​Project Abstract ​Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), as the name suggests, are aircrafts without a pilot on board. They can be remote controlled or can fly on preprogrammed flight plans. UAVs generally navigate using the Inertial Measurement Unit, which consists of on-board sensors like GPS, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, which provide different functionalities to the UAV. However, rapid growth of error in GPS coordinates can cause bias and drift in the original path. These errors can occur due to low voltage signals, intentional jamming or unintentional interferences. To minimize the dependency on GPS, alternate methods can be explored for trajectory correction in target critical missions. Our project focuses on exploring the potential for Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery in trajectory correction.
‘DSMAC’ or Digital Scene Matching and Area Correlator, is a system that provides a solution to overcome the deviations in the path occurring due to the absence of GPS coordinates. This includes correlation of images with neighboring data based on initial location and detecting the current position from the matched frame of the input video while updating them on the map.

​Project Abstract ​Alone in Pakistan housing market is worth more than 150 million rupees. 40% of home owners are not entirely happy with their home design. A house is a lifetime investment ,when dealing in the realm of architecture ,for a common person the most difficult task can be visualizing a space in order to build it more efficiently .Properly visualizing not only help bring the idea to life but also helps architects and clients to organize and plan every move. Therefore, we need to develop a service that will help clients and architects to visualize their yet-to-be-built property, and get a much better understanding of the architecture they are investing in. VIZCON will help them to better convey their vision to clients when pitching a new idea and inspire the clients to see what their final product will look like. For visualization VR (Virtual reality) technology is being used. With collaboration clients and architects would be able to make new architecture, deactivate different flaws at different stages in time and also furnish it. This allows clients to get a realistic view of the project outcomes and make any desired changes before construction begins. Getting this level of client involvement early in the process helps prevent costly changes later and keeps clients engaged in the project.
​​Project Title Virtual Reality for Amblyopia (VRAM)
​Group Members ​Hadia Zafar
​​Project Supervisor(s) Muhammad Usman Akram
​Project Abstract Amblyopia is a vision disorder in which the brain fails to process the signals sent to it from one eye, as a result the vision of that eye becomes blurred. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 19 million children less than 15 years of age are visually impaired; of those, 12 million are impaired due to uncorrected refractive errors and amblyopia. However, in Pakistan and other developing countries with limited screening programs and many children not going to schools, amblyopia remains undiagnosed. If left untreated, it can lead to turning of eyes and eventually blindness as well. VRAM serves as a low cost solution for the treatment of amblyopia. By adjusting the inter ocular contrast in virtual reality, different stimuli are sent to each eye. Dichoptic training enhances the patients ability to use both eyes in conjunction. Patients can perform therapy at home. Data stored on cloud will enable the doctor to track the patient’s progress remotely.

​Project Abstract ​As the advent of the technological era streamlines industry and manufacturing a new set of problems arises, one of which is the optimization and efficient usage of resources in manufacturing. The solution that AIROS aims to provide is optimization of machines regarding their usage in industrial manufacturing shop floors. The solution will be presented in the form of a fully functional dashboard containing live information updates to the floor manager alongside a visualized progress of the day’s schedule. The visual display will allow the floor manager using AIROS to observe what task each machine is being utilized for and their progress on that task against the daily agenda. AIROS will provide options to cater for complications arising on the shop floor and allow the floor manager to delay the day’s agenda or reschedule it entirely depending on the state of the shop floor. The options will contain methods to dynamically reschedule the shop schedule keeping dependencies of fabrication orders in mind. Progress of machines will be monitored by an IoT Node that transmits live current profiles of working machines. Algorithms using models trained on a databank of accumulated profiles will then classify the profile and display the manufacturing progress on the aforementioned display. AIROS uses the current profiles and its derived statistics to generate this dashboard for the floor manager and provide a resource optimization solution.

​Project Abstract ​This project aims at developing a system which will accept English query from user and convert it into SQL. This helps novice user who can easily get required contents without knowing any complex details of SQL languages. We can store huge amount of data in databases but casual user who doesn’t have any technical background not able to access data. So we propose a system that will convert English statement given by user to all possible intermediate queries so that user can select appropriate intermediate query and then system will generate SQL query from intermediate one. Finally system will fire SQL query on database and gives output to user. When an interpretation error occurs, users often get stuck and cannot recover due to a lack of guidance from the system. To solve this problem, we present a natural language query recommendation framework

​Project Abstract ​A smart camera is a computer vision system which, in addition to the ability of capturing images, is capable of extracting application-specific information from the captured images, along with generating event descriptions or making decisions that are used in an intelligent and automated system. The amount of processing done depends on the information to be extracted from the image. However, in most of the applications, object or data extraction must be done real-time, requiring heavy computations. Processors are being replaced by FPGAs which provide high parallelism , along with reconfigurable computing. This is an opportunity to revolutionise computational speeds in the field of computer vision and implement a stand-alone computer vision system powered by FPGAs.

​Project Abstract ​Approximately 1.3 billion people in the world, suffer from some or the other form of vision impairment. Out of these, 2 million people reside in Pakistan, who are visually impaired. These people require some additional help in the form of a guide to tell them about the surroundings. In order to assist them, we have developed a system that will read the surroundings for them and later interpret it. For this, we will be using a cellular phone and a cloud service. As soon as the user takes the image of what is in front of them, the image will be sent as an input to the model. The model is deployed on the cloud as well as on the local system. After adequate processing, the model will generate the caption for that image in the form of a structured sentence. By Natural Language Generation tools, the generated sentence will be read out loud to the user. This will not only read the scene for the visually impaired person, but will also allow the user to recognize the people around them. It will operate only upon the desire and requirement of the user. Henceforth, causing no additional burden for them by constantly giving input. In this way, it will reduce the user’s dependency on other person as their guide, making them independent in many matters.

​Project Abstract ​Patient Experience Monitoring focuses on designing and reacting to patient experience to determine the best possible ways to provide the optimal patient satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy. This is done mainly by using an RFID framework or it deals with the emotion-based survey filled by patient which caters different factor like environment, registration, doctor etc., as an overall experience of a patient in a hospital. Our project deals with the introduction of a framework which combines Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, with the Android based automated outpatient feedback form. The output from RFID is the overall time spent at various stations in a hospital. While the output from the automated survey is the overall experience a patient has during his stay in a hospital which is an overall satisfaction index (number). We will then use this data and apply an algorithm that predicts the experience of patients using the waiting time and environmental factors captured by IoTs. Furthermore, we will apply analytics on the data gathered and provide the results to the hospital management using dashboards.

​Project Abstract International companies and top retailers worldwide are seeking ways to generate profits from advanced processes in their operations, promotions, merchandising, human resource, and security departments. Video analytics is one of the hot topics these days and video based solutions are not onlybeing utilized for surveillance, but also as a solution with intelligence and analysis ability, creating great value in retail environment. Although a lot of work has already been done in this area, the problem still lies in processing the videos in real time and making decisions. In our project, we are designing a solution for trolley counting and till management for stores in real time. It uses HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) for locating objects of interest, which are trollies and people. HOG operates on local cells, therefore it is invariant to geometric and photometric transformations, except for object orientation. The algorithms are tested on actual data gathered from stores and are validated by experts. For real time analysis, we embed or solution on raspberry pi which is directly connected with IP cameras in the store. We have also designed a dash board in order to provide real time analytics for policy makers who can use this data to give different kind of promotions in order to improve their sales.

​Project Abstract ​In this age of wireless communication and wireless networks the need to transmit high data rates without the expense of high transmit powers and high bandwidth utilization has provencontinuous phase modulation (CPM) one of most attractive modulation schemes in band limited channels. It is for this reason that NATO uses binary CPM modulation for wireless communication at physical layer for its narrow band channel i.e. 25KHz. Increasing the data ratedirectly increases spectral Width of CPM which become a direct source of inter symbol interference (ISI) and hence depredating the overall efficiency of system in channels with limited capacity. We propose a solution to the reception of band limited CPM signal that is based on Soft inputsoft output (SISO) MLSE receiver/Equalizer using the model of Andres- Moctezumawith a serial concatenation of well known BCJR decoder. At the end performance of this receiver isevaluated using Stanford University Interim channel (SUI). Simulation results shows markeddifferences in bit error rate performance for conventional versus proposed receiver. NBWF is expected to operate in the same frequency range, employing the same channelization; furthermore, the NBWF should allow operation in the tactical UHF band as well. The current waveform proposal is based on Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM), which is widely used in mobile communications, due to the constant envelope property of the modulation scheme.

Most of this digital data is present in the form of photos and this compute power can be used to make “sense” of the emotions in a photo by tagging them automatically. While there are a few systems already in place that do the same (think of Facebook’s auto tagging of photos), none of them gives access to a portal where anyone can use their own set of data to get an analysis of ambience of a picture. In my project, the scope of detection of emotions is further extended by including the photos in which there aren’t any people present. This way, a machine learning system can not only detect the emotions of a picture in which there are people but can also detect the “emotions” or the ambience of scene like a playground, waterfall etc. In this project, I am using Google’s Cloud Platform and Google’s Prediction API. The Platform provides a portal to store data and can become a frontend for a web app while the Prediction API uses machine learning to create an accurate model using the data that has been provided to it. Leveraging Google’s Cloud Platform provides an inexpensive yet powerful solution for computing and data storage.

​Project Abstract ​The fate of any country is decided by the elected members of Parliament and National Assembly of that country. Therefore it is very important that election process of that country must be fair enough so that only the most deserving persons are elected. All of us today are very well aware of all the kinds of pre-poll rigging like irregularities, mismanagement, corrupt individuals and other human errors which can effect this very important election process  of any country. In order to overcome these problems we are replacing this old and manual system by an “ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE”. Our final product will be a machine for a Polling Station having two types of database, one for all the people eligible to cast vote and other for the candidates appearing in that area for election. There will be a thumb scanner interfaced to our machine and a touch screen. All the machines on different polling stations are connected to each other and all the results will be displaced on a website in the form of graphs in real time. The process will be carried out in such a way that a person who is willing to cast his vote will appear to respective polling station and he will first enter his ID card number and then scan his thumb. If that thumb impression matched with already stored impression against that id number than he will be allowed to cast his vote. This will ensure the fairness and dignity of this very important process as well as time efficiency increases also as compared to manual system.
​​Project Title Real-time Water Purity Surveillance through implementation of IoT​
​Group Members ​Arsalan Soomro, Farhad Satti, Saad Umar, Talha Javed
​​Project Supervisor(s) ​​Dr Shoab Ahmed Khan
​Project Abstract ​Water impurity and the diseases that come with it present a very real and serious threat in current times. Every day, 2 million tons of sewage and industrial and agricultural waste are discharged into the world’s water, the equivalent of the weight of the entire human population of 6.8 billion people. The UN estimates that the amount of wastewater produced annually is about 1,500 km3, six times more water than exists in all the rivers of the world. We wish to bring these alarming numbers down to some extent by interfacing and interconnecting different sensors into one single unified node. Each sensor in the node would monitor a different impurity factor of water. These nodes will then be installed at sufficient distances along the irrigation path of water of a certain locale. Through the implementation of IoT (Internet Of Things), these nodes will constitute a surveillance network of sorts which would be providing feedback in real time if and when it detects an abnormality in impurity level at some node. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity—that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. In our case, nodes of the network we wish to implement.

​Project Abstract ​The computer networks play their role in almost every place now-a-days. With the evolution of e-commerce, electronic banking and many concepts like this has increased the use of computer networks a lot. Moreover, the internet use has also become immense. The companies, enterprises open offices at various locations and allow connectivity to its employees and customers. With growing traffic on the network with each passing day, different techniques are adopted to ensure proper routing and efficient use of network resources. And in similar way the troubleshooting process has become very important. The project team vows to work on the relatively new technology called “MPLS” (multiprotocol label switching). A network shall be designed/ simulated which would replicate just as the company networks are and would be using MPLS as routing technique which would help for efficient routing. The team would develop a monitoring software that would monitor the complete network and would tell the administrator as soon as something goes wrong in the network. In this way he would not have to look into the detail of each interface, rather this would directly tell which interface or connection has gone low. In this way, a company network will be fully and effectively monitored by the administrator and would help in swift trouble hooting.

​Project Abstract ​The traffic congestion problem is a common issue for the residents of metropolises. Although expanding the capacity of transportation systems and stimulating the public transportation may decrease the traffic congestion, they cannot completely solve the traffic congestion problem. The proposed solution is to design an artificially intelligent system that is equipped with Algorithms enabling it to run on its own Routing algorithms, shortest paths algorithms and Image processing algorithms. It will also be capable of automating the traffic system of a city by calculating shortest routes to given destinations, by apprehending the traffic flow and accordingly managing traffic signals. It can analyze short time & long time trends by running data mining algorithms on daily data stored in the cloud and make smart route recommendations accordingly.In its implementation, Linux will be used for hardware interfacing and python as the primary programming language. The hardware we are using are the cameras and Raspberry Pi. Having implemented this system, we will come up with a monitoring app for the traffic control room which will be used to keep the human administrators up-to-date on the traffic situation and a Traffic guidance app for end user which will help them in finding the current congestion free routes to their destination.

​Project Abstract ​Many hospitals currently use a manual system for the management and maintenance of critical information. The current system requires numerous paper forms, with data stores spread throughout the hospital management infrastructure. Often information is either incomplete or does not follow management standards. Paper work done is often lost in transit between departments requiring a comprehensive auditing process to ensure that no vital information is lost. Multiple copies of same data exist that may lead to inconsistencies in data in various data stores. Basically the information typically involves; patients personal information and medical history, staff information, room and ward scheduling, staff scheduling, operation theater scheduling and various facilities waiting lists. All of the information must be managed in an efficient and cost wise fashion so that an institutions resources may be utilized effectively. This system will automate the management of the hospital making it more efficient and error free. It aims at standardizing data, consolidating data, ensuring data integrity and reducing inconsistencies. Furthermore adding features like access through RFID card and usage of Bluetooth enabled smart medical devices will help to raise standards and effectiveness of system in various manners. Applying data mining on data collected through this system will allow authorities to fix problems in the environment as they (problems) have a direct connection to people living in that environment. Business intelligence might play its part in data mining and led to business growth certainly.

​Project Abstract ​Neurological Disorders are prevalent nowadays. Neuro centers are few and not easily accessible, especially to those living in remote areas. EEG machines are fairly expensive for a third world country, like Pakistan. Digital Signal Processing can be proved helpful in the medical field, and especially for heart and brain related diseases. In this respect, this project aims to create an application that allows digitized data from a digital electroencephalogram (EEG) device to be graphed as a waveform in a personal computer and may also be printed. Analog brain signals from a patient are acquired using the digital grass electrodes and electroencephalogram hardware devices. These signals are then converted to digital form using an analog-to-digital (ADC) circuit. Data acquisition is also at regular intervals, which is accomplished by using a random access memory (RAM) chip. Moreover, an analysis of the acquired digitized signals is done to detect brain abnormalities, if present, and this is done by comparing the signal values with the values acquired from the available medical databases.
This project is a C++ console-based implementation primarily intended for a signal composer. This will include the basics in composing a signal and acquiring its attributes and features. Moreover, RaspberryPi and Raspbian (Debian-based OS) are being used for the said purpose.

​Project Abstract ​The exponentially increasing amounts of data over time and the need for even faster means of transferring that data and/or carrying out communication over computer networks calls for major changes in the digital communications world. We are already witnessing a switchover from IPv4 to IPv6 to cater for expanding networks of communication devices. With all these faster means and modes of communication, we also need to reduce redundancy and increase bandwidth efficiency and usage. Our Senior Project is something from the future and for the future of Computer Networking. Using NetFPGA 10G (A joint effort of the Leland Stanford Junior University and The University of Cambridge) Networking Development/Prototyping Platform, we have developed an Application Aware Router which sits as an intermediate device between the end user and the servers. Our device aims at filtering our network packets using their URLs and Protocols to direct them to specific servers depending on the required bandwidth by those URLs. We aim to achieve Higher Server Cache Hit Rates and Higher Bandwidth Efficiency.

​Project Abstract ​Many important eye diseases as well as systemic diseases manifest themselves in the retina. While a number of other anatomical structures contribute to the process of vision, this project focuses on retinal imaging and image analysis. Retinal layer thickness, evaluated as a function of spatial position from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is an important diagnostics marker for many retinal diseases. However, due to factors such as speckle noise, low image contrast, irregularly shaped morphological features such as retinal detachments, macular holes, and drusen, accurate segmentation of individual retinal layers is difficult. So the very first step before we can go through to layer segmentation is noise removal. We are doing research on how to efficiently remove noise without losing any of the valuable data.  Once the noise is removed layer segmentation would be less difficult to do. And the individual segmented layers will help diagnose the ocular diseases.

​Project Abstract ​This project provides an interface through which we can control computer and mobile phones using other mobiles and computers through voice recognition or commands. There is an application in IPhone5 named “Siri” if we install it on an IPhone5, we can control it with our voice usually used while driving. In “Siri” if we ask the mobile to call a specific person, the app converts it to the text this text goes to server where it is converted to the command and then is executed on the phone as result the call is made. Using this concept we are trying to make the app in which we can control our other mobiles and also our personal computers via one phone or computer. It will enable us to send texts or make calls from a phone that is out of our reach also we can fully control our computers but they all must be connected with the Internet.

​Project Abstract ​Time is everything in this busy world; everyone is in hurry and has to get to some place within a blink of the eye. Sadly in Pakistan, with the number of cars increasing by the day, being stuck in traffic for hours has become in evident specially during the office opening and closing hours and the increasing congestion levels in the traffic are a mere distress for the mind. Imagine a system through which you can automatically monitor traffic congestion at busy intersections and plan your journey accordingly.A similar system is proposed in this project which monitors traffic flow at intersections and tells users the congestion levels at their respective routes. This system intends to find the congestion in traffic flow using live video stream which is taken from the camera, deployed at the road side.The video frames are pre processed and features of moving objects are defined and detected, during the tracking process a filter is devised to detect the velocity of the traffic flow. To give the results more meaning for layman the results are sent to a centralized traffic database management center via a GSM module. And an application is developed, which uses these congestion levels from a centralized database to mark the congestion levels on a map.

​Project Abstract ​Generally, seizures are known to be a sudden surge of electrical activity in the brain which enables the effected person to behave abnormally for a short time period. These seizures are not diseases in themselves but in fact, are the symptoms of various different disorders that might be affecting some areas of the brain. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a device used to measure the fluctuations in the brain activity through the electrodes, pasted to different areas of the brain. This machine helps record the spontaneous brain activity for a short time span which makes it a handy tool for detecting brain abnormality that could help diagnose the disease causing it. The ultimate aim of this project is to come up with a remote EEG machine which is able to automatically detect a seizure, without the help of an expert. CHB-MIT Scalp EEG Database is being used as the main data set. The data found has been pre-processed already. So, it was changed to the MATLAB readable format and then, was tested by applying a variety of features to it. After that, the GMM and the SVM classifiers were applied to understand the classification accuracy of the features. Once the feature set with the best classifier results have been identified, an improved version of the classifiers was worked upon and then tested on the available data. Real-time processing of the data is being done on a device known as the ‘Raspberry pi’ and the preferred language of programming is C.

​Project Abstract ​The aim of the project is to design and implement centralized intelligent control for multi-agent distributed autonomous systems which is responsible for the decision support and collaborative interaction of the individual agents. The aforementioned scheme is implemented for the development of a team of autonomous robots which could effectively play a game of soccer in real-time dynamic environments.
The basic software architecture follows a synchronous modular approach which basic modules responsible for data acquisition, strategy planning, path planning, control generation, and transmission of command signals. The system first acquires the visual data for the environment and detects the respective physical objects. The acquired positional data is then transferred to a strategy planner, which uses statistical models and algorithms to predict the most optimal position for each agent. The data containing final positions is passed to the path planner whose basic task is to plan the path from initial to final positions. Next, the control generates the necessary control signals to follow the predicted path. Finally the transmitter transmits these control signals to the individual agents. The language domain for the system is C# which implements a highly parallel system through Task Parallel Library.

​Project Abstract ​Automated air defense deployment (A3D) is a process to deploy radars and weapons using 3D DEM data. A 3D digital elevation model (DEM) is to represent the continuously varying topographic surface of the earth, and it is a common data source for terrain analysis and other spatial applications. Automated air defense deployment, which saves time and resources wasted on manual search of deployment areas, will maximizes coverage and security under available resources. The project aims to develop a system which would find deployment points using DEM data of interested land, based on user specified valuable assets/points (VA/VPs), attack direction of enemy, weapons and radars properties, using mathematical models and training data through artificial intelligence algorithms. This system is artificially trained to find the best deployment points keeping   constraints of the scenario and all important aspects of deployment in consideration. The software is linked to available Radar and Weapon database. Systems also provide users the details of a DEM file in terms of common metrics used in Air Defense.

​Project Abstract ​Dental biometrics is used in the forensic odontology to identify individuals based on their dental characteristics. Unlabeled post-mortem dental radiographs are compared with labeled ante-mortem dental radiographs stored in a database to find the highest similarity. This work presents a method for human identification based on dental work information extracted out of panoramic dental radiographs . The proposed method consists of three main processing stages: (i) feature extraction, (ii) creation of a dental code and (iii) matching. In the first stage, seed points of the dental works are detected by thresholding. A refined segmentation is obtained by using a snake (active contour) algorithm. The dental code incorporates information about the position (upper or lower jaw) and size of the dental works, and the distance between neighboring dental works. The matching stage is performed with the Levenshtein distance (Edit distance) which is used to infer the subject’s identity. The costs of the insertion, deletion and substitution operations, were tuned to make the matching algorithm more sensitive. The method was tested on a database including 68 dental radiographs and the results are encouraging. An equal error rate (EER) of 9.8% using ROC analysis and an accuracy of 82% for top-1 retrieval were achieved.

​Project Abstract ​In this project we implement a software which is capable of analyzing the data held in GTD, the global terrorism database. This software will be taught about the data already present in GTD and by analyzing this data it will generate a completely new data set or information not known before. Our project is a text mining project which will use naive Bayes classification algorithm. The technologies we have use in our project are C#.Net, Sql Server Database and Microsoft Excel (for presenting the data).The efficiency for our results is about 99.3% .
Our actual task is to take the summary of each record of crime and identify that which type of crime it is.
We have about 46000 valid records in our data base so as a rule of thumb of naive Bayes algorithm, we will divide them into two sets of which one will be called training data set and the other one, testing data set. We will manage for the required information by ourselves in training data set and this information would be feed into the software from which it will learn and generate a structure which will help in getting the required information in testing dataset.

​Project Abstract ​Time is everything in this busy world. Sadly in Pakistan, with the number of cars increasing by the day, being stuck in traffic for hours has become in-evident specially during the office opening and closing hours and the increasing congestion levels in the traffic are a mere distress for the mind. Imagine a system through which you can automatically monitor traffic congestion at busy intersections and plan your journey accordingly. A similar system is proposed in this project which monitors traffic flow at intersections and tells users the congestion levels at their respective routes. This system intends to find the congestion in traffic flow using live video stream, which is taken from the camera deployed at the road side, as well as loop induction sensors. The video frames are pre-processed and features of moving objects are defined and detected, during the tracking process a filter is devised to detect the velocity of the traffic flow. In case of loop sensors, detectors attached to them automatically return the frequency of cars passing over the sensors. For ease of access for users, the results are sent to a centralized traffic database management center via a GSM module, and an application is developed, which uses these congestion levels from the database to mark it on a map and suggest the shortest and quickest route based on distance and congestion level. It also uses data mining for prediction of traffic flow before time. Emergency vehicles and accidents can be handled by communication through centralized GSM module.

​Project Abstract ​Pneumonia kills nearly  2 million children around the world out of a total of 150 million children who are affected by it and about 98% of these deaths occur in developing countries.  The reason for high mortality rate for people who acquire pneumonia is because of a lack of trained personnel as the ratio of doctors to pneumonia patients is very low and another reason is late detection and diagnosis of the disease due to a lack of awareness among the masses.
The proposed system ‘SmartSteth’ dubbed as a portable doctor will be able to help a trained health worker in early detection of pneumonia as well as in its treatment.  A health worker will quiz the patient according to the standard of CRB-65 and then record the patients respiratory sounds by a device called ‘Steth-Mic’ which is just a stethoscope connected to the Smart phone via the audio jack.  The recording will then be uploaded to a cloud server where complex digital signal processing and machine learning algorithms will help in diagnosis of pneumonia with the same sensitivity and specificity as a human doctor.
The main aim of the project is to provide a cost effective solution to above mentioned problem.

​Project Abstract ​Facebook® is a social media service usually used as an instant communication platform. The capacity to provide information in real time has stimulated many companies to use this service to understand their consumers. In this direction, TV stations have adopted Facebook for shortening the distance between them and their viewers, and use such information as a feedback mechanism for their shows. The sentiment analysis task can be used as one such feedback mechanism. This Project corresponds to classifying a text according to the sentiment that the writer intended to transmit. A classifier usually requires a pre-classified data sample to determine the class of new data. Typically, the sample is pre-classified manually, making the process time consuming and reducing its real time applicability for big data. This project uses an automatic sentiment classifier for Facebook status updates. The automatic sentiment analysis reduces human intervention and, thus, the complexity and cost of the whole process.

​Project Abstract A lot of research is being done on autonomous and self-driving vehicles in the top universities of the world, but there is a very high cost both time and resource wise to develop such vehicles because of hardware requirements. Not every institute can afford these costs, especially in developing countries like Pakistan. Our goal is to create an alternate development and testing environment that reduces the costs by replacing real life hardware with software simulations so research can be done without the need for hardware. In this project we aim to design software to develop and simulate these autonomous vehicles. The communications module connects all the other modules with each other and the hardware sensors (if any) and as such acts as a message broker. It also provides data monitoring,unified queue tracking,establishes connection between modules while providing decoupling and data transfer at high rate without any network  blockage or congestion.

​Project Abstract We present a fast and fully automatic approach enabling the fusion of the main anatomical structures of the heart in CT images and left ventricle in Thallium Scanned images .The proposed method is based on the adaptation of segmentation of the heart in CT images and typical color level differences in Thallium Scanned images. CT angiography gives the location of blockage in an artery whereas thallium scan tells what effect that blockage produces in any area of the heart. The fused images will clearly show the relationship of relevant coronary arteries and the abnormal perfusion territory in all patients and will be useful for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Instead of separately diagnosing the problem, this project will provide a fused image of both thus helping in quick and efficient diagnosis. Visual inspection by experts reveals that the proposed method of hybrid tool will immensely benefit biomedical field..

​Project Abstract
This project is designed to save electricity costs and minimize the hassle involved when going all around the house to switch off or switch on the lights, fan or any other electrically operated appliance. The Kinect sensor will be placed in one corner of the room in order to have a maximum possible wide view. By using a libfreenect based application, the Kinect sensor will be able to monitor the movements of the person moving about in the room, using a set of simple rules to determine what action to take based on the gesture implied by the person. For example if the person is sitting at the desk, the table lamp will turn on and when the person moves away from the desk, the lamp will turn off. Similarly, the lights in the home will be turned off if the person exits from the main door and turned on when the person enters through the main door.

​Project Abstract Medical informatics plays a very important role in the use of clinical data. In such Discoveries, pattern recognition is important for the diagnosis of new diseases and the study of different patterns found when classification of data takes place.
There is no proper mechanism present in the sustaining medical information systems. Due to this doctors have to rely on human analysis and decision making which can be suitable when analyzing 5-10 records but extremely difficult if we increase the number of records to be analyzed. Moreover it also causes inaccuracies in results and stress for the doctor.
The system we intend to develop aims to form a proper data warehouse; it intelligently stores the existing records and patient histories along with the incoming data for future. This is done with the help and training of IBM (International Business Machine) and using their popular tools. The system also aims at making the job of analysis as accurate as possible using analysis from a large number of records and medical test reports that we will maintain in an organized and intelligent database.

​Project Abstract
The problem that has to deal is when the surveillance is taking placeusing multiple cameras. And from single camera there is limitation of coverage. And if there is anything suspicious then track it.The solution of this problem is video stitching. The goal of video stitching is to construct a single videooutput by stitching together multiple input video streams. The goal of project is to do the video stitching in real-time, so that it can be used for security purposes. The input videos are coming from the multiple cameras therefore the stitched video has large field of view. This can be done by finding the common region in the 2 videos and then merge these 2 videos along that region. The tracking is done by using the kalman filter. As all the processing is have to be done in real-time, therefore general purpose processor has not good use. Therefore we used the specific processor i.e beagle board.

​Project Abstract
Secure voice (alternatively secure speech or ciphony) is a term in  cryptography for encryption of voice communication over a range of  communication types such as radio, telephone or IP.The project proposes a Secure voice Transmission for which we make a high
speed engine which compresses and encrypts data that comes to it.  Encryption refers to algorithmic schemes that encode plain text into  non-readable form or cipher text, providing privacy. The receiver of the  encrypted text uses a “key” to decrypt the message, returning it to its   original plain text form. The key is the trigger mechanism to the  algorithm.  AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) Encryption Technique  is very  important for the securing of data. Its extension is the Rijndael  algorithm that will be used in our project. We will perform compression   using MELP/CELP algorithms  The actual scope of the project is Secure Communication in the war  scenario among The soldiers and the command and control systems. Tactical  Network Communication is the main stake holder of this project.Outcome of  the project is an efficient and secure communication with a high data  rate.

​Project Abstract Fast frequency hopping is the method of transmitting signals that has many advantages over fixed frequency transmission. One of its major advantages is that it can be used for the purpose of anti-jamming. As in fixed frequency transmission signals can be jammed by adding noise to the signals. In fast frequency hopping, transmitter generates pseudorandom sequence of frequencies and it sends the signal over the channel. Receiver is synchronized by this pseudorandom sequence. The narrow frequency bands are generated by this method. Small bits of data are sent in the narrow band. Transmitter turns to another frequency and so on.

​Project Abstract During the recent years, social networking sites such as Twitter (a micro blogging site) have gained immense popularity as a means for communication. Twitter allows users to post short text messages, also known as tweets, up to a maximum of 140 characters. It resembles SMS (Short Message Service) in significant ways: short message lengths, use of abbreviations, and capability of communicating with numerous recipients easily. An important behavioral element of a short text messaging network is that of popular discussions. These are the discussion threads or topics that involve a large number of messages and users over a short time period. Twitter has also gained popularity among the research circles and people have tried to analyze the Twitter data to perform different tasks like sentiment analysis and opinion mining [Pak and Paroubek], future prediction (revenue prediction for a movie, etc) [Asur and Huberman], classification of tweets [Sriram et al.]. The aim of this project is to analyze Twitter data (can be retrieved using Twitter API) and develop models for predicting popular discussions. We intend to utilize the message content as well as the network information in our models.

​Group Members ​NS-Muhammad Salman  , NS-Shahi Dost , NS-Fazli Rabi , NS-Imran Ali
​​Project Supervisor(s) ​​Lec  Sajid Gul Khawaja
​Project Abstract In computer networks, data is sent in the form of packets. Routers are used to forward the packets from one network to the other. Since router`s processing is limited, so unsurprisingly packets have to spend a lot of time in router`s queue with the possibility of packet being dropped as well. To increase the processing time router was enhanced to 20Gbps with ipv4. Now we are going to implement the already enhanced router (20Gbps) with ipv6. As the number of users of internet is growing day by day and ipv4 is going to obsolete so that’s why it is necessary to implement it on ipv4. Another issue of ipv4 is that it is less secure than ipv6.

​Project Abstract
Recent adoption of ERP systems by small to medium scale organizations where traditional solutions such as those offered by SAP and other companies fail due to budget, deployment and maintenance constraints, have given rise to various concerns. In situations such as these low maintenance software are required to serve for user needs. Moreover, shift to the cloud computing paradigm has enabled users to procure software as a service (SaaS) deployed on cloud servers that maintain both computation and data storage required by the application.
The two trends provide strong foundation for our project “PEERCLOUD: A scalable multi-tenant cloud based framework for ERP systems”. In this project we intend to develop a flexible ERP framework featuring multi-tenancy, customizable data models and application development. The target framework once deployed on cloud will cater for users needs by providing services in form of integrated applications based on data models and business logic designs.
We intend to build this application using JAVA and GROOVY, keeping in mind the efficiency requirements of the framework. Scalability of data storage will be an important aspect of the framework design because of the need to serve a large number of clients i.e. Massive scalability. In order to meet this requirement we intend to use scalable database solution such as mongodb or Apache couchdb.
On completion of the project we intend to achieve a scalable and customizable ERP solution hosted on cloud requiring zero maintenance on client side. It will cater for client needs by providing flexible services making use of basic features of the framework.
