    Traffic Density Estimation and Traffic Control using Convolutional Neural Network
    (IEEE, 2019-12-05) Ikiriwatte, A. K; Perera, D. D. R; Samarakoon, S. M. M. C; Dissanayake, D. M. W. C. B; Rupasignhe, P. L
    The existing traffic light control systems are inefficient due to the usage of predefined algorithms on offline data. This causes in numerous problems such as long delays and a wastage of energy. Estimation of traffic density indirectly affects in decreasing the high traffic congestion which will occur due to the less planning of transportation infrastructure and the policies. The goal of this research is to introduce an applicable method to improve the existing static traffic signal system into a dynamic system. As an approach we analyze the use of machine learning algorithms to measure the traffic density to tackle this research problem of high traffic congestion. The main target is to implement this system for the four-way junctions since it is a place where the possibility of having a traffic congestion seems to be high. With use of these traffic density estimation algorithm, crowd density estimation and signal handling we conduct experiments on minimizing the congestion at four-way junctions. We decided on using convolutional neural networks as an advanced machine learning method to increase the accuracy of the learning algorithm.

    Real-Time Greenhouse Environmental Conditions Optimization Using Neural Network and Image Processing
    (IEEE, 2020-11-04) Wickramaarachchi, P; Balasooriya, N; Welipenne, L; Gunasekara, S; Jayakody, A
    Agricultural business is one of the biggest areas in world economy. With the growth of population losing agricultural lands is the major issue in world food production. Therefore, controlled environment agricultural systems under vertical farming have been introduced with greenhouses. Within greenhouses there is not a mechanism to continuously monitor the growing community and change the climate conditions. Existing systems only predict the required conditions for the plant and once predicted that value is provided to the plants continuously or change the values from season to season. To address these issues, a working prototype of an IoT based smart hydroponic system is introduced, which uses computer vision to gain maximum profits by growing a specific cultivation by providing endemic environmental conditions and addressing the problems over its growing process. There, this research presents a way of external environmental condition optimization. Regression type Feed Forward Neural Network is considered for this research to optimize the required conditions for tomato plants. Based on the current height of the plant, expected height for next 24 hours, and growth date of the plants neural networks predict the CO2, temperature and humidity level for next 24 hours with the accuracy of 88.33%, 89.21% and 92.65% respectively. The objectives of the research can be achieved by this retrieved results. The successful implementation of neural networks results a cost-effective modern farming solution for growers. This research will be supportive to attain a fundamental comprehension on the concept of the research area.

    A Geophone Based Surveillance System Using Neural Networks and IoT
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Supun Hettigoda, Chamath Jayaminda; Amarathunga, U.; Wijesundara, M.; Wijekoon, J.; Thaha, S.
    Securing our assets and properties from intruders and thieves has become increasingly challenging as intruders become technology aware. The most common approach to monitor physical assets is CCTV. However, this approach has a number of technical limitations in addition to the cost. The CCTV camera location is visible to the intruder and intruder can also identify possible blind spots in the CCTV coverage area. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to secure physical assets using Geophones, Neural Networks, and IoT Platforms. This can either be used stand alone or to complement existing CCTV systems. In this approach, the system monitors vibrations on ground to detect intruders. We have achieved up to 93.90% overall accuracy for person identification. The system is invisible to intruders and covers a large area with a smaller number of nodes, thereby reducing the cost of ownership.
