Animals straying into human settlements in search for food cause conflicts, resulting in injury to humans, animals, or both. Application of technology can help reduce human–animal conflicts, and one such solution is the use of a fully automated monitoring system to detect animal transgressions. This paper describes a novel, end to end design of a C...

Over the last few years, there has been a steady rise in number of reported human–animal conflicts. While there are several reasons for increase in such conflicts, foremost among them is the reduction in forest cover. Animals stray close to human settlements in search of food, and often end up raiding crops or preying on cattle. There are at times...

Technology has an important part to play in wildlife and ecosystem conservation, and can vastly reduce time and effort spent in the associated tasks. Deep learning methods for computer vision in particular show good performance on a variety of tasks; animal detection and classification using deep learning networks are widely used to assist ecologic...

In today's world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to take center stage. The recent trend has been moving towards the creation of robotic devices which are capable of making spontaneous and effective decisions in demanding situations. One of the challenges faced in such a scenario is dealing with the permutations and combinations of countless...

Touch-screens have emerged as a very popular technology. Touch-screens pervade all electronic devices from laptops to mobile-phones to advanced security systems, up to such a point that any device that does not use touch-screens is deemed outdated. Touch-screens can be broadly classified into three types - capacitive, resistive and imaging. The maj...

Almost undoubtedly, the greatest invention of the 20th century has been the computer. The computer uses several auxiliary devices to establish a seamless interaction with the user. One challenge faced during the development of these devices, was the lack of direct interfacing between the machine and the user. Today we see Natural User Interfaces (N...
