    A COST EFFECTIVE WEB SERVER BASED HOME APPLIANCES CONTROL SYSTEM
    (Daffodil International University, 2006-07-01) Haque, S. M. Anamul; Uddin, Md. Zia; Ahmed, Siddique
    The paper presents a cost effective approach to control home appliances such as light, fan, heater, washing machine, motor, etc over the Internet. The appliances are connected to the server machine and can be controlled over the Internet using a web browser on a desktop PC, Laptop computer or PDA. The parallel port is used to transfer data from server computer to particular device to be controlled. An interface device is designed to connect the high power loads to the parallel port. The developed web user interface allows the user to control home appliances directly or by using Schedule option. We have developed a system, by which it is possible to properly control eight appliances remotely through Internet.

    AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND TRANSLATION OF BENGALI TEXT ON ROAD SIGN FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED
    (Daffodil International University, 2007-07-01) Haque, S. M. Anamul; Arbi, Shahida; Tamanna, Tabassum; Itu, Sadia Mahsina
    Large amount of information are embedded in natural scenes. Signs are good example of natural objects with high information content. Visually impaired individuals are unable to utilize the significant amount of information in signs. This paper presents a system for detecting and recognizing the signs in the environment specially written in Bengali and voice synthesizing their contents. In this paper we present an algorithm for detection and localization of text in road sign using edge detection approach. We use an adaptive thresholding method to binarize the text blocks and recognize the text using a neural network based OCR module. Finally, the recognized text is synthesized as voice output message convenient for visually impaired. The detection, recognition and speech synthesis modules each perform well on their respective task, and initial evaluation of the complete system is promising.
