Through AI developments, machines are now given power and intelligence to behave and work like human mind. In this research project, we propose and implement an AI based health physician system that would be able to interact with the patient, do the diagnosis and suggest quick remedy or treatment of their problem. A decision tree algorithm is implemented in order to follow a top down searching approach to identify and diagnose the problem and suggest a possible solution. The system uses a questionnaire based approach to query the user (patient) about various Symptoms, based on which a decision is made and a medicine is recommended.

Even though majorly two types of animation techniques are used in the general industry; namely key-frame and motion capture, there are various other techniques of generating autonomous animation. In this survey paper we discuss the major techniques and approaches towards procedurally generating autonomous animation of Quadruped characters in specific. Initially we discuss various techniques used in generating skeletons and creating a character rig for quadrupeds. The various animation techniques are then discussed from footprint generation to data driven methods and finally physics and dynamics based approached and algorithms. All these methodologies tend to provide best possible solution for solving the problem of generating involuntary and autonomous animation of quadruped characters. In the end, a more suitable hybrid technique is proposed which will be more practically feasible and user friendly so it can be easily implemented.

These types of failures don’t guarantee the enforcement of transactional properties and which reduces the scalability and availability of these systems. Research in this area proved that scaling out while providing consistency of transactions and guaranteeing availability in the presence of different failures in distributed computing environment is not feasible. As a result, the database community have used vertical scaling rather than horizontal scaling. Moreover changes in data access patterns resulting from a new generation of web applications with high scalability and availability guarantees weaker consistency. In this paper we have analyse that how different systems such as ElasTraS, Mstore, Sinfonia, ecStore and Gstore provide scalable transactional data access in cloud computing environment. We have also discussed transaction management (TM) in Gstore in detail and compared with other techniques and protocols used in current cloud based systems.

The application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is widely used in healthcare sector to provide better, reliable and secure services. RFID systems are integrated into hospital information systems and provide full automation and streamline the important modules of patient identification, staff allocation, doctors, medicines and treatments. In this paper, we propose RFID based conceptual framework for smart hospital management system which provides a safe and secure patient data management system. We also highlight the importance of RFID in healthcare domain with the help of an example case study with a working prototype application.

This paper presents a distance technique for hand detection based on depth image information get from Kinect sensor. Distance was used as the method of this study for hand detection. First, Kinect sensor was used to obtain depth image information. Second, background subtraction and iterative method for shadow removal applied to reduce noise from the depth image. Then, it used the official Microsoft SDK for extraction process. Finally, two hands could be segmented based on different color in specific distance. The experiment result shows that hands and head can be detected in a different position with good accuracy.

For this purpose a built-in Biped setup is present that is a pre-rigged structure, which can be easily applied on any bipedal character type easily and efficiently. However, the built-in Biped system lacks the functionality of manual control and motion retargeted manipulation, mostly found in custom rigs. This proposed system builds a custom rig using a unique approach of combining multiple tools and expressions.

The aim is to utilize technology and construct machines that will work like brain of humans. The internal architectural requirements of such a machine is to have huge simultaneous memory and storage in consistent with intensive processing power to cater the ambiguous information and behave like human brain. ANN has broad range of applications in today’s business and IT industry. This paper aims to investigate the working of ANN and its applications in real environment.

These controls consist of simple joints, handles, or even separate character selection windows.This research paper present an automated rigging system for quadruped characters with custom controls and manipulators for animation.The full character rigging mechanism is procedurally driven based on various principles and requirements used by the riggers and animators. The automation is achieved initially by creating widgets according to the character type. These widgets then can be customized by the rigger according to the character shape, height and proportion. Then joint locations for each body parts are calculated and widgets are replaced programmatically.Finally a complete and fully operational procedurally generated character control rig is created and attached with the underlying skeletal joints. The functionality and feasibility of the rig was analyzed from various source of actual character motion and a requirements criterion was met. The final rigged character provides an efficient and easy to manipulate control rig with no lagging and at high frame rate.
