    Air Visio: Air Quality Monitoring and Analysis Based Predictive System
    (2019 1st International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2019-12-05) Dissanayaka, A.D.; Taniya, W.A.D.; De Silva, B.P.A.N.; Senarathne, A.N.; Wijesiri, M.P.M.; Kahandawaarachchi, K.A.D.C.P.
    Sri Lanka is facing a serious air pollution problem that severely impacts the daily life of every Sri Lankan. The main source of ambient air pollution in Sri Lanka is vehicular emissions. A methodology to monitor the air quality in real-time with an overall coverage of Sri Lanka, and automatically process these huge data to identify air quality levels in a specific area is now becoming a timely research topic. An air quality monitoring and analysis based predictive system is proposed to monitor the ambient air quality, provides the best route with minimum polluted air, maps the heatmaps to identify the current air quality of an area easily and predict the future air quality of each area. The prototype was implemented by hierarchically deploying two different gas sensors, an Arduino Uno board and a wifi module, to implement in open spaces between smart buildings, and transfers the sensor data back to the information processing center by using IoT technology for real-time display. The information processing center stores real-time information which is collected from the sensors to the database. By reading sensor data stored in the database, the front-end system draws real-time, accurate air quality levels included maps and predicts the less polluted routes and the air quality level over an area. Further, an energy harvesting system is also presented for the power consumption of the device. A route is suggested in an accuracy of 70% from this system. The final product provides a low cost, highly portable and easily maintainable system for the users.

    IoT Based Sign Language Recognition System
    (2020 2nd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2020-12-10) Punsara, K.K.T.; Premachandra, H.H.R.C.; Chanaka, A.W.A.D.; Wijayawickrama, R.V.; Abhayasinghe, N.; De Silva, R.
    Sign language is the key communication medium, which deaf and mute people use in their day - to-day life. Talking to disabled people will cause a difficult situation since a non-mute person cannot understand their hand gestures and in many instances, mute people are hearing impaired. Same as Sinhala, Tamil, English, or any other language, sign language also tend to have differences according to the region. This paper is an attempt to assist deaf and mute people to develop an effective communication mechanism with non-mute people. The end product of this project is a combination of a mobile application that can translate the sign language into digital voice and loT-enabled, light-weighted wearable glove, which capable of recognizing twenty-six English alphabet, digits, and words. Better user experience provides with voice-to-text feature in mobile application to reduce the communication gap within mute and non-mute communities. Research findings and results from the current system visualize the output of the product can be optimized up to 25 % -35 % with an enhanced pattern recognition mechanism.

    Enhance the Safety Measurements in Railways with the Aid of IoT and Image Processing
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Vedasingha, K. S.; Perera, K. K. M. T.; Hathurusinghe, K. I.; Akalanka, H. W. I.; Amarasena, N.; Dissanayake, N.R.
    Railways provide the most convenient and economically beneficial mode of transportation, and it has been the most popular transportation method. According to the past analyzed data, it reveals a considerable number of accidents which occurred at railways, caused damages to not only precious lives but also to the economy. The goal of this research is to minimize the railway accidents by developing “Railway Process Automation System” while ensuring human safety with use of Internet of Things (IoT) and image processing techniques. The system can detect the current location of the train and close the railway gate automatically. As usual, if the system fails to close the rail gate due to any failure, the proposed system can identify the current location and close the rail gate through decision making system by using past data. The proposed system introduces further two features which named as Railway track crack detection and motion detection which play a significant role in reducing the risk of railway accidents. Moreover, the system is capable of detecting rule violations at a level crossing by using sensors. The proposed system is implemented through a prototype and tested with real-world scenarios to gain the above 90% of accuracy.
