A Comprehensive Review of the GNSS with IoT Applications and Their Use Cases with Special Emphasis on Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) with Internet of Things (IoT) applications and their use cases with special emphasis on Machine learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) models. Various factors like the availability of a huge amount of GNSS data due to the increasing number of interconnected devices having low-cost data storage and low-power processing technologies - which is majorly due to the evolution of IoT - have accelerated the use of machine learning and deep learning based algorithms in the GNSS community. IoT and GNSS technology can track almost any item possible. Smart cities are being developed with the use of GNSS and IoT. This survey paper primarily reviews several machine learning and deep learning algorithms and solutions applied to various GNSS use cases that are especially helpful in providing accurate and seamless navigation solutions in urban areas. Multipath, signal outages with less satellite visibility, and lost communication links are major challenges that hinder the navigation process in crowded areas like cities and dense forests. The advantages and disadvantages of using machine learning techniques are also highlighted along with their potential applications with GNSS and IoT

Intrusion Detection by Forensic Method in Private Cloud using Eucalyptus

Cloud computing has become the mature term which has dealt from single user to large enterprises. The private cloud platform building framework Eucalyptus has great pace of development within short span of time. Achieving AWS (Amazon Web Services) compatible features development along with scalability and sustainability has introduced several issues have an adverse effect on the cloud system. In continuing with this, the chances of intrusion also increase evading traditional mechanism of security. Issues have been introduced due to seamless integration of such structure with computing technologies and so on. By taking advantage of such flaws, the Cybercrime is rapidly increasing in this field. The proposed work is regarded with Digital forensics technique and intrusion detection mechanism. In this scope of work, an experimental setup of Eucalyptus with Snort NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System) to detect attacks using snort rules has been created. The Eucalyptus Cloud components and Snort logs are exported to outside cloud network to rSyslog server which would be later analyzed by the Awstats log analyzer. Accompanied to above, this scope of work also addresses toward the issue of Eucalyptus to export its logs to the remote rSyslog server. This system will definitely help to reduce the strain on the Cloud forensics

Deep Learning Approach for the Detection of Noise Type in Ancient Images

Recent innovations in digital image capturing techniques facilitate the capture of stationary and moving objects. The images can be easily captured via high-end digital cameras, mobile phones and other handheld devices. Most of the time, captured images vary compared to actual objects. The captured images may be contaminated by dark, grey shades and undesirable black spots. There are various reasons for contamination, such as atmospheric conditions, limitations of capturing device and human errors. There are various mechanisms to process the image, which can clean up contaminated image to match with the original one. The image processing applications primarily require detection of accurate noise type which is used as input for image restoration. There are filtering techniques, fractional differential gradient and machine learning techniques to detect and identify the type of noise. These methods primarily rely on image content and spatial domain information of a given image. With the advancements in the technologies, deep learning (DL) is a technology that can be trained to mimic human intelligence to recognize various image patterns, audio files and text for accuracy. A deep learning framework empowers correct processing of multiple images for object identification and quick decision abilities without human interventions. Here Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model has been implemented to detect and identify types of noise in the given image. Over the multiple internal iterations to optimize the results, the identified noise is classified with 99.25% accuracy using the Proposed System Architecture (PSA) compared with AlexNet, Yolo V5, Yolo V3, RCNN and CNN. The proposed model in this study proved to be suitable for the classification of mural images on the basis of every performance parameter. The precision, accuracy, f1-score and recall of the PSA are 98.50%, 99.25%, 98.50% and 98.50%, respectively. This study contributes to the development of mural art recovery

Sentiment Analysis of COVID-19 Tweets Using Deep Learning and Lexicon-Based Approaches

Social media is a platform where people communicate, share content, and build relationships. Due to the current pandemic, many people are turning to social networks such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc., to express their feelings. In this paper, we analyse the sentiments of Indian citizens about the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination drive using text messages posted on the Twitter platform. The sentiments were classified using deep learning and lexicon-based techniques. A lexicon-based approach was used to classify the polarity of the tweets using the tools VADER and NRCLex. A recurrent neural network was trained using Bi-LSTM and GRU techniques, achieving 92.70% and 91.24% accuracy on the COVID-19 dataset. Accuracy values of 92.48% and 93.03% were obtained for the vaccination tweets classification with Bi-LSTM and GRU, respectively. The developed models can assist healthcare workers and policymakers to make the right decisions in the upcoming pandemic outbreaks
