PLAY CHESS IN REAL TIME AGAINST OPPONENTS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, VIRTUALLY!

Image
  Everybody knows chess was a game which originated in India before even 6th century symbolising two kingdoms fighting each other with all the four armies though it’s an interesting game it can’t be played anywhere, to overcome this problem there has been an project proposing to play chess anywhere with anyone in any part of the world with only internet connection. The project is been named as “remote chess” and as already said it allows you play chess in real time against opponents anywhere in the world so long as there is an internet connection, and all that it requires is a Remote Chess chessboard, a NTSC television, and a computer running Mat lab, since chess is an open domain this project doesn’t have any trademarks associated with it. The over view of the project can be summarized as the project’s goal was to create a pair of chess boards for playing remote chess. These chessboards had to detect the movement of pieces and transmit data regarding those moves to each other. Th...

Automatic face detection using colour based segmentation and template/Energy threshold

The project which is anticipated to give a huge advancement in technology deals with face detection based on color segmentation followed by template/energy matching. The drive of the project is to detect the presence and absence of face using computers. In EE368 (a graduate level introductory course to the fundamentals of digital image processing) they have given the task of training a system using collection of seven digital image for this face detection purpose to a set of students. Here as the students face many complexities from deriving the algorithm for the successful execution of the project and to the simple steps to be followed, the first limitation was its time consumption of seven minutes for a single file. The students got catch hold of this concept not in their day one. They primarily started by reviewing all the articles on the topic and came up by trying out the methods that already existed such as neural networks, statistical methods, machine learning algor...

People grow fat because of technology

Now will you believe me if am going to tell you that yes, people grow fat with growing technology!?! Feeling that am linking two really unrelated things? Fine let me try to convince you with all the points that I have!   It’s now statistically proven that people grow fat with growing technology. According to The Milken institute, an economic thinking tank, about a 10% increase in information and communication technology (ICT) can increase the American population by 1.4% more people wearing shape wears, which can be approximated to around 4.2 million people! The main factor is the “knowledge-based society” states The Milliken institute according to its survey and adds up “more processed food, spending enormous time in front of screens (TV, computers or playing video games etc.), which of course obviously leads to decreased energy usage, and last but not the least eating of junk foods”. Let me give you a small visual statistics which proves this issue. Round the globe the obesity r...

SMART PHONES AS COMPUTER’S REMOTE CONTROL

This project is all about converting your smartphone into the remote of your computer wirelessly. There exist several situations where we want to wirelessly and comfortably operate a computer, where the computer screen is projected onto a big screen through a projector or big-screen television, such as classrooms, conference/meeting rooms, mobile, workgroup project environments and modern office environments, and even living rooms This project will eliminate most of the discomforts we experience in places like conference rooms class rooms and in places where presentations are given by projecting computers.  The main idea behind this system is that it makes use of the smartphone as the mouse of the computer being projected though there are several specifically designed devices are available on the market for the purpose of operating computers remotely and wirelessly. Wireless keyboard, uses either Bluetooth or wireless USB mini-receiver plugged into the USB port of computer for t...
