online-monitoring-high-end-gadgets

Mission of the project: Online monitoring system enables users to manage all their High end gadgets (iPods, mobile phone, pen drive etc) through a single interface by establishing a direct bridge between product and manufacturer via the implemented remote server. Main idea involved here is to ... [More] make use of online service (monitoring tool) that can automatically scan electronic gadgets for any hardware or software defect as the product is brought online. It will then make a log of errors, report it to the manufacturer and provide feasible solution back to customer. It can also be used as a platform where users can find solutions to all other problems pertaining to their gadgets and manufacturer may showcase their various products and provide service in better way.

hacron

This project involves developing an agent for the Crontab service. It shall be developed using the GDS template. HA-Cron would allow cronjob based services to be made highly available without the burden upon system administrators to maintain additional crontab files on cluster nodes, and set them up manually after failovers.

greenosphere

Message from the owner(s) This project deals with a Web Application that will help people to implement different environmental policies and also help them implement Green Computing . It will be a kind of educational experience.

skewed

there is vast amount of literature available on handwritten recognition and gesture recognition , but very few opensource software available Handwritten Letter recognition is one of the easiest object classification problem In this project we will explore and innvote machine learning algorithms from Support Vector Machines to Neural Networks

spot-home

This project aims at harnessing the potential of Sun SPOTs by connecting them to all the electronic appliances in a common household and then provide the consumers the power to control these devices from over the internet/wi-fi through any a PC or a cellphone.

adsl-modem

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is a form of DSL, a data communication technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional modem can provide. Currently OpenSolaris supports ADSL modem with ethernet interface. The goal of the project is to ... [More] provide a driver to support the USB interface for the ADSL modem on OpenSolaris. [Less]

ha-openldap

OpenLDAP Data Agent for Open HA Cluster (as a part of the Code for Freedom contest of SUN Microsystems) OpenLDAP is the de facto Open Source reference implementation of the Internet standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Major enterprise directories such as NDS and Active Directory have ... [More] LDAP interfaces. It is mainly used for transaction authentication and user login. These are some of the features required to be guaranteed by the service : 1. Reliable, rapid access to increasingly complex data. 2. Ability to handle large number of transactions per second. 3. No downtime (or seamless fail over) for BOTH reads and writes 4. Need redundant servers with identical databases. The Solaris Operating system is supported by the OpenLDAP server. It runs applications and services in a highly available, secure and scalable environment. The purpose of this project is to write an agent which can make the OpenLDAP server highly available on a Sun Cluster. The agent will be preprogrammed to start and to shut down, fault monitor, and perform automatic failover for the OpenLDAP service. The project will be considered successful if the agent is able to run all the required OpenLDAP services on a cluster automatically, after a failover. [Less]

digitalwatermarking

Due to availability of the images through internet and many digital media, there is a serious threat to them from the digital thieves. As a consequence, the ownership of the image might be misinterpreted. In this context, research work is needed to resolve rightful ownership. The owner should be ... [More] able to hide some information in the image and when needed he/she should be able to extract that information to prove his ownership. There has been significant research work in to Digital Water Marking (DWM). The process of embedding information into multimedia object can be termed as watermarking. Also referred to as simply watermarking, a pattern of bits inserted into a digital image, audio or video file that identifies the file's copyright information. The proposed system embeds watermark by decomposing the host image. Dividing these coefficients into small blocks, calculating the standard deviations of these blocks, deciding whether this block can be use for embedding watermark. The watermark bits are added to the selected coefficient block without any perceptual degradation for host image .The watermark used for embedding is a binary logo image, which is very small compared to the size of the host image. During the watermark recovery, trained probabilistic neural network is employed to extract the watermark. To ensure the watermark safety and imperceptibly, embedding the watermark bits into the edges and textures of the image we make use of the statistical properties of the dual-tree wavelet transform (DTCWT) and the human visual system (HVS). Due to neural network possessing the learning capability from given training patterns, this method can memorize the relations between a watermark and the corresponding watermarked image. This algorithm is proposed by Xian-Bin Wen • Hua Zhang • Xue-Quan Xu • Jin-Juan Quan (Published online: 7 June 2008, © Springer-Verlag 2008). [Less]
