    Automated Evaluation of Attendance and Cumulative Feedback using Face Recognition
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Shalini, S.; Navya, R.S.; Neha, M.; Ramteke, P.B.; Koolagudi, S.G.
    Face recognition is an important technological development of this era. It is being widely used in biometric systems, gaming as well as to tag people on social media. It is also being used for attendance because the manual system is tedious and time-consuming. This paper proposes an automated attendance and cumulative feedback system based on facial expression recognition. The proposed automation system recognizes students from a recorded video of the class and captures their attendance. Local Binary Pattern Histograms (LBPH) and Eigen Face recognizers have been used for face recognition with an accuracy of 97% and 95% respectively. This paper addresses another issue of feedback of the professor by deducing genuine and cumulative feedback based on facial expressions of the students. Two methods have been proposed for deducing the feedback. One is the algorithmic method based on face recognition using confidence measure for expressions detection and the other one uses Speeded up robust features (SURF) and Support Vector Machines(SVM). The proposed methodology is observed to be in correlation with the conventional method of feedback evaluation. Copy Right © INDIACom-2018.

    Pseudo-Dynamic Analysis of Gravity Masonry Dams
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Shalini, S.; Kumar, M.A.; Pavan, G.S.
    According to USGS estimates, approximately 5 million earthquakes occur annually, of which 1 million are felt. In the north-eastern and north-western regions of India, where the Indo-Australian plate is subducted beneath the Eurasian plate, seismic activity is extremely high. In addition to the immediate damage, an earthquake can cause minor vulnerabilities that lead to future crises. Safety of important infrastructure like dams, bridges, tunnels, elevated structures, and nuclear power plants under earthquake ground motion is critical. In the past 50 years, seismic analysis of dams has attracted considerable research interest. In this study, a pseudo-dynamic analysis of non-overflowing section of a masonry gravity dam is conducted. Invoking plane-strain condition, a 2D model of the dam is developed in Abaqus software. The dam is modeled using four node rectangular elements. The loads at various levels along the dam's height are computed for the fundamental, higher, and static modes. The effects of hydrodynamic forces acting on the dam are also incorporated. The loads are applied separately, and stress analysis is performed. Stress values are combined using the SRSS method, these stresses are compared to the material's strength properties, and the risk factor is evaluated. A comparison of the stresses obtained from FEM model and stresses obtained by considering beam idealization is also presented in this work. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
