Publication Embargo PRODEP: Smart Social Media Procrastination and Depression Tracker(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-11-04) Kulatilake, T.T; Liyanage, P.L.R.S.; Deemud, G.H.K.; De Silva, U.S.C; Sriyaratna, D; Kugathasan, AProcrastination refers to the voluntary delay of urgent tasks and can have several negative consequences such as stress, health issues and academic underachievement [47]. It is viewed within physiological research as a self-regulation failure [48]. Similar to procrastination, another severe problem which comes up within lots of people including students and teenagers is "Depression". Depression is a massively widespread problem among people around the world as well as in Sri Lanka [49]. As a result of procrastination and depression, students has to face academic underachievement. One of the main cause of these widespread problems are Social media over-usage [50]. Therefore this paper presents a new tracker which presented as a mobile application with four main components. This research study is about identifying and tracking users' facial emotions and eye-aspect ratio to analyze real emotions of the user via device inbuilt webcam to identify user fatigueness and procrastination. This study also analyzes user behavior in two selected social media platforms which are Facebook and Twitter and identifies the negativity and depressiveness of "Sinhala"content using Machine learning based Sentiment analysis approaches. Also as a companion, this paper introduces a chat-bot which communicates with the user in "Singlish"language. Our final products will be a complete mobile application which generates reports to the user based on the analysis done in the four components. As future work we will introduce AutoML approaches instead of traditional machine learning based approaches.Publication Open Access A mobile base application for cataract and conjunctivitis detection(University of Kelaniya, 2020) Soysa, A; De Silva, D. IWith time the life patterns of humans have evolved at a rapid space. Today, it has come to a point where people are opting to put their health status behind other priorities in life. A contemporary example is the spreading of the COVID-19 virus. One of the other significant health issues faced by the present-day community is illnesses related to the eyes. However, unlike other health issues, most of the eye diseases can be cured with proper attention. Cataract and Conjunctivitis are identified as two of the main eye diseases faced by a mass amount of people around the world. If left untreated, these diseases can even lead to blindness. As a matter of fact, Cataract has been reported as the first cause of blindness by the world health organization. Typically, the detection of these diseases is done by an ophthalmologist with the use of a special medical equipment. Thus, the channeling of an ophthalmologist has become a mandatory requirement for the detection of these diseases. In addition, the availability of medical equipment and medical officers is deficient in rural areas. Thus, as a solution for the above-mentioned issues, it was decided to propose a mobilebased application, Eye Plus, for the detection of Cataract and Conjunctivitis diseases. Using Eye Plus, one would be able to test his/her eyes at a convenient time in any place for a zero cost. In addition, it provides additional information related to Cataract and Conjunctivitis diseases. Another special feature of the application is the ability to operate it without the help of another party. At present, the application achieved a success rate of 83.3% for a collection of 150 images.Publication Embargo Computer Vision for Autonomous Driving(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Kanchana, B.; Peiris, R.; Perera, D.; Jayasinghe, D.; Kasthurirathna, D.Computer vision in self-driving vehicles can lead to research and development of futuristic vehicles that can mitigate the road accidents and assist in a safer driving environment. By using the self-driving technology, the riders can be roamed to their destinations without using human interaction. But in recent times self-driving vehicle technology is still at the early stage. Mostly in the rushed areas like cities it becomes challenging to deploy such autonomous systems because even a small amount of data can cause a critical accident situation. In Order to increase the autonomous driving conditions computer vision and deep learning-based approaches are tended to be used. Finding the obstacles on the road and analyzing the current traffic flow are mainly focused areas using computer vision-based approaches. As well as many researchers using deep learning-based approaches like convolutional neural networks to enhance the autonomous driving conditions. This research paper focused on the evaluation of computer vision used in self-driving vehicles.
