Know about it : Big Data is Transforming Sports #IJIRST

This article was originally published on The Conversation. The publication contributed this article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

In sport we don’t just want to know who won. We now want to know how to replicate success and then improve on it. And to do this, we’re using data – and lots of it. The field of “big data” analytics has come to sport and athletics, with massive implications for sport as we know it.

The Women’s Tennis Association recently approved real-time data capture, which means that court-side coaches can now advise their players during a match on best shot placement or serve direction using little more than a smartphone or tablet. It could be argued that this detracts from a player using their instincts to make their own decisions. But it means that to tennis fans watching, it’s easier to understand what makes a good player great and why their opponent lost, while players have an even keener competitive edge.

New Camera Sensor Eliminates Need for Flash #IJIRST

#IJIRST - Impact factor 1.638

No flash? No problem. A new imaging sensor could soon make it possible for photographers to take clear, sharp photos, even in dim lighting.

Created by a team of researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, the new sensor is highly sensitive to both visible and infrared light, which means it could be used in everything from the family Nikon to surveillance and satellite cameras.

The sensor, which is 1,000 times more sensitive to light than the imaging sensors of most of today's cameras, gets this high photoresponse from its innovative structure.

360-Degree Infrared Vision : #IJIRST

Thermal Radar

Photograph by Ralph Smith

Michael Dortch was building video surveillance trailers for industrial parks in Colorado when his clients started asking for near-omniscient views of their properties. They wanted to see intruders in the dark from all angles, but such coverage required up to seven thermal infrared cameras and cost more than $100,000. So Dortch and a colleague spent four years developing a cheaper, more capable alternative. Their Thermal Radar system provides 360-degree infrared coverage that can spot people, fires, vehicles, and more.

The heart of the invention is a single, spinning thermal sensor. Onboard processors constantly stitch images together for a refreshing panoramic video feed, and intelligent software finds threats.

A finished unit will cost about $16,000—many times cheaper than any system that comes close—and should be ready for its debut later this year. The first and biggest market will be corporate security. But the forest service, the Utah Department of Transportation, and even the Pentagon, Dortch says, also have his invention on their radar. how it works

Innovation Redefined... #IJIRST

Evolution of extreme parasites explained by scientists

Extreme adaptations of species often cause such significant changes that their evolutionary history is difficult to reconstruct. Zoologists at the University of Basel in Switzerland have now discovered a new parasite species that represents the missing link between fungi and an extreme group of parasites. Researches are now able to understand for the first time the evolution of these parasites, causing disease in humans and animals. The study has been published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

Parasites use their hosts to simplify their own lives. In order to do so, they evolved features that are so extreme that it is often impossible to compare them to other species. The evolution of these extreme adaptations is often impossible to reconstruct. The research group lead by Prof. Dieter Ebert from the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Basel has now discovered the missing link that explains how this large group of extreme parasites, the microsporidia, has evolved. The team was supported in their efforts by scientists from Sweden and the U.S.

Between fungi and parasite

The team of zoologists lead by Prof. Dieter Ebert has been studying the evolution of microsporidia for years. When they discovered a new parasite in water fleas a couple of years ago, they classified this undescribed species as a microsporidium, mostly because it possessed the unique harpoon-like infection apparatus (the polar-tube), one of the hallmarks of microsporidia. The analysis of the entire genome had several surprises in store for them: The genome resembles more that of a fungi than a microsporidium and, in addition, also has a mitochondrial genome. The new species, now named Mitosporidium daphniae, thus represents the missing link between fungi and microsporidia.

 Energy Efficient Compressed Air Production System

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compressed air is often referred to as the fourth utility. We all know the generation of compressed air consumes energy but at the same time the compressor and downstream components are often neglected, which means there are significant savings to be made. It is suggested that savings of around 33 % on average in a compressed air system are possible. It follows that cost effective compressed air production is energy efficient compressed air production, as energy is by far the biggest lifetime cost factor.Many of the different levers for cost reduction may be known, but just not applied, due to lack of knowledge about the financial savings possible. This paper shows and explains the different ways to efficient compressed air production (leakages, compressor selection, pressure losses) and gives simple calculation examples that are easy to follow and to be reproduced in your compressed air stations.

 Image Compression using STW and WDR Wavelets

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abstract :

This paper presents the wavelet techniques used for compression and uncompression of gray scale and true color images. The valid compression methods are STW (Spatial Orientation Tree Wavelet), WDR(Wavelet Difference Reduction) used in this paper,   We are using bior 4.4 wavelet for image compression.In this paper Comparison of different quality assessment metrics for the enhancement and compression techniques are carried out. This comparison is done on the basis of subjective and objective parameters. Subjective parameter is visual quality and objective parameters are Peak signal-to- noise ratio (PSNR), Compression Ratio (CR), Mean square error (MSE), L2-norm ratio, Bits per pixel (BPP) and Maximum error.
