[1] Object Detection and Tracking using Image Processing
PROJECT GROUP: SAGAR SANGANI, GAURAV PATIL, PARAG PATIL
GUIDE: Dr. Y. S. Rao
Abstract:
The project involves Object detection as its main objective with the help of image processing. An algorithm is developed using Matlab and C language programming to
determine the number of objects and also give the count of the objects in a particular background.Based on this we have used the algorithm in the following applications. The
urban track management system application is developed with the idea of using the latest technology in trace engineering to effectively manage vehicular trace in urban
settings. The main input will be taken from trace cameras located strategically at various junctions. These images will then be processed via image processing. An algorithm
has been developed to count the number of vehicles on road and also give the least trace route. The code for same is implemented in MATLAB. This code will use grayscale to
binary conversion to get the count.Here the algorithm will detect the number of objects in one frame from the image captured by camera. The Object tracker application is
developed with the intention of tracking a single object with respect to the previous frames captured. The object here is the reaction of sun on a copper plate. The bright
spot forms the object which is tracked continuously.The object tracker application will help determine the optimum position required for getting the maximum bright spot by
tracking it. The same algorithm used previously is used except that here different frames are used to track single object whereas in previous application we track many
object in a single frame.
[2] Data Acquisition using CAN protocol
PROJECT GROUP: Raisa Pereira, Manali Torpe, Harshit Desai
GUIDE: Dr Y. S. Rao
Abstract:
This paper describes a design and implementation of a Data Acquisition System using the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol. CAN protocol was fundamentally developed for
the automobile industry and hence was used in this application. The proposed system consists of multiple nodes which acquire various operating parameters of the vehicle
like temperature, steering rotation, vehicle tilt angle etc. This data is relayed to a central node via CAN bus which monitors the vehicle safety and also raises an alarm
over GSM network in case of an abnormal parameter reading. The overall system is configurable and flexible and hence can be applied for normal vehicular safety as well as
race car safety and monitoring.

[6] SPHERICAL MOBILE ROBOT
PROJECT GROUP: Sagar Warghade, Virendra Parab, Saurav Singh
GUIDE: Prof. K.T. Talele
Abstract:
Spherical robots utilize an original locomotion sys- tem by displacing its center of gravity in order to generate torque and rotate it. Spherical robots, however, can generate only small amount of torque for rotation. This makes its locomotion ability for uphill climbing and obstacle over running greatly limited. Therefore, this study focuses on spherical robots operating on rough and uneven floors. It describes the basic dynamics and control methods, which can applied for enhancing the features and overcoming the disadvantages.
First the dynamics of a spherical robot is investigated for two motions: drivingand steering. Second, this project describes the newly developed prototype robot including its wireless communication. The wireless system is one of the critical components of the prototype, since rotation does not allow physical wiring. Third, in order to avoid clumsy and unstable motion coming from the spherical shape, weight manipulation was done to achieve maximum symmetry and lower center of gravity.

[10] GPS-GSM INTEGRATION FOR ENHANCING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
PROJECT GROUP: SAHIL HIRPARA, ADITYA MEHTA, YASH SINKAR
GUIDE: Prof. M.M. Parmar
Abstract:
Public Transportation plays a pivotal role in daily commute of a common man. But themajor drawback of public transportation is time consumed. In Cities where life moves at a fastpace, the common man values his time more than anything else. Although the time for thecommute cannot be reduced but the time spent in waiting for the transport to arrive can definitelybe reduced.This project of ours aims to reduce this wastage of time by enhancing the transportationmanagement services and giving a systematic approach to it. We have developed this projectkeeping in mind the B.E.ST bus services which is considered as the 2nd lifeline of Mumbaifollowed by the railways. But unlike railways while waiting at the stop we are not indicatedabout the arrival of the next bus and its time of arrival so person has to helplessly wait at the busstop hoping that the next bus coming would be his desired one. By execution of this project wecan get the location of the nearest desired bus by just an SMS. With such handy information aperson can plan his schedule well and instead of waiting at the bus stop he can get done withother important task of his.We make use of simple GPS(Global Positioning System) and GSM (Global System forMobiles) modules and a 89v51rd2 microcontroller for their interfacing. GPS is used forobtaining the current location of the bus. Whereas GSM module is used for the sake ofcommunicating with the customer and the Base station where all database regarding bus location is stored. Project works towards the betterment of the transportation services and give them anorganized approach. A person with SMS service within its reach can make the optimum use of this service and plan his schedule well.

[12] PORTABLE NETWORK INTRUSIONDETECTION SYSTEM
PROJECT GROUP: MOHIT THADANI, NIHAL PRADHAN, USHMA THAKKER
GUIDE: Prof. N.A. BHAGAT
Abstract:
Technologies in circulation currently, while sufficient for single desktop computers, are incapable of detecting intrusions over a network. Also, high cost and inflexibility prevent these technologies from attaining a universal nature. In order to bring down cost, improve universality and make it powerful to handle a network, we have proposed an embedded, pluggable Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) that can work in a real time environment at the entry point of the network to identify potential attacks on the network terminals. This technology will work by detecting anomalies in the TCP/IP headers of incoming packets, and thus detect a spurious packet. These packets once detected, will immediately be blocked and the packet’s IP address will be stored in the memory of the embedded system itself. The Pluggable Embedded NIDS(PENIDS)will be user-friendly and most importantly, universal in nature. Also, the load created on the network will be minimal as compared to the effectiveness of the system in handling the spurious packets.

[15] Design, Build and Control of Inverted Pendulum using PID/Fuzzy Logic controller
PROJECT GROUP: AZIZ S.AERIELWALA, NISHANT S. BARLINGE, ANISH.S.CHURI
GUIDE: Prof. P.V.Kasambe
Abstract:
The inverted pendulum is a highly nonlinear and open-loop unstable system. This meansthat standard linear techniques cannot model the nonlinear dynamics of the system. Whenthe system is simulated the pendulum falls over quickly. The characteristics of the invertedpendulum make identification and control more challenging. The inverted pendulum is aclassical control problem, which involves developing a system to balance a pendulum. Forvisualization purposes, this is similar to trying to balance a broomstick on anger. Themotivation was to translate the mathematical models developed in control theory classes into a real-time system.

[20] ELECTRO-GLOVES – A WIRELESS GESTURE INPUT SYSTEM
PROJECT GROUP: NAMITA SINDWANI, JOSEPH MENACHERY, AKSHAY THAKUR
GUIDE: Prof. (Mrs.) Payal Shah
Abstract:
Technology moves hand in hand with the growing demand for comfort and ease of operation of devices. This project tries to make available an alternative, to the mouse for controlling the cursor of a computer for efficient and easier navigation on the screen. The use of an electronic glove makes it possible for a user to access the computer in a wireless manner by moving their hand around in the desired direction of motion. The gloves also makes it possible to use the left and right click by flicking a finger. The design and development of this motion control system does not require any database system or comparison with stored values. The first part of the project is about acquiring the position of the glove using a 3 axis accelerometer. The position of the tilt in any of the three directions can be detected and the precise location of the cursor can be found. The other part involves transmitting the values of the accelerometer to the base station connected to the com-puter through the USB port. This facilitates for the replacement of the conventional mouse with the glove with no additional hardware.
Thus our project uses gesture input system that can be conveniently used by anyone who wishes not to be tied down to a desk when using a computer.

GUIDE: Prof. (Mrs.) Payal Shah
Abstract:
Conducting experiments in undergraduate electronics engineering laboratory is a constantconcern for those who teach it. Computer based learning has become an important part of education. Internet further contributed greatly to long distance learning and remote laboratories. A traditional method of conducting the experiments include the use of measuring equipment’s which are costly, occupies a lot of space and requires enough knowledge to makemeasurements using these instruments. Verification of theoretical concepts with simulatorsbefore actual experimentation removes these drawbacks. Thus, simulation tools aid hands-on experience in the laboratory. This will not only make the experiments’ procedure easier, but itwill also make it more systematic and knowledgeable for the students. This paper providesinsights into the virtual uniform framework developed using Data Acquisition (DAQ) boardand National Instruments LabVIEW software package. In this work, LabVIEW is used tomodel standard laboratory instruments as well as electronic device/circuit. A graphic userinterface (GUI) is developed to make the simulator tool attractive and a lot easier for thestudents to navigate through the various laboratories and experiments. The developedframework can be used in the laboratories of subjects like Basic Electronics, AnalogIntegrated Circuits, Digital Electronics, Electronic Devices and Circuit Design, SignalProcessing, Communication and VLSI.
