...Ex-MBA 2011-2014 Semester -1 Subject: Technology in Business ------------------------------------------------- VIDEO CONFERENCING – A BOON TO COMPANIES TO REDUCE COSTS, TIME AND SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT Completed By, Shantesh Varik Roll No: 2011G14 INTRODUCTION – Aim and Objective Videoconferencing is a virtual conference like setup using a number of telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously. Videoconferencing is slightly different from videophone calls as it is designed to serve a conference rather than individuals. In a tight economy, with companies spending much less on IT, the tech giants will take growth wherever they can find it. The Wall Street Journal reported recently that Cisco and HP are in a pitched battle for customers for their high-end teleconferencing systems. According to the report, it's "one of the few technologies that has benefited from the downturn, growing 30% from last year as businesses look to reduce travel expenses." Cisco, HP, Nortel, and telepresence-focused players like Teleris have developed impressive, beautiful systems that make you feel like you're in the same room with your colleagues. The catch is that not only will you save money, but you'll also reduce your environmental footprint through reduced travel. These companies are cashing in on the business world's pressing need to cut costs, while also appealing to the desire to get green...

...Applications (0975 – 8887) Volume 83 – No 9, December 2013 Real Time Traffic Density Count using Image Processing Naeem Abbas Muhammad Tayyab M.Tahir Qadri Sir Syed University of Engg & Technology University Road Karachi-75300, Pakistan Sir Syed University of Engg & Technology University Road Karachi-75300, Pakistan Sir Syed University of Engg & Technology University Road Karachi-75300, Pakistan ABSTRACT Due to the increase in the number of vehicles day by day, traffic congestions and traffic jams are very common. One method to overcome the traffic problem is to develop an intelligent traffic control system which is based on the measurement of traffic density on the road using real time video and image processing techniques. The theme is to control the traffic by determining the traffic density on each side of the road and control the traffic signal intelligently by using the density information. This paper presents the algorithm to determine the number of vehicles on the road. The density counting algorithm works by comparing the real time frame of live video by the reference image and by searching vehicles only in the region of interest (i.e., road area). The computed vehicle density can be compared with other direction of the traffic in order to control the traffic signal smartly. Keywords Traffic density count, image processing, intelligent controlling of traffic. 1. INTRODUCTION The number of vehicles on the road increases...

...ACOUSTIC VISION – Acoustic Perception Based On Real Time Video Acquisition for Navigation Assistance Supreeth K Rao#, Arpitha Prasad B*, Anushree R Shetty&, Chinmai$ , Rajeshwari Hegde@ #,*,&,, Department of Telecommunication Engineering, @ Guide and faculty BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore, India # supreethkrao@gmail.com arpithaprasad@gmail.com & anushree.shetty12@gmail.com $ cpchinmai@gmail.com * Abstract— A smart navigation system based on an object detection mechanism has been designed to detect the presence of obstacles that immediately impede the path, by means of real time video processing. This paper is discussed keeping in mind the navigation of the visually impaired. A video camera feeds images of the surroundings to a Da-Vinci Digital Media Processor, DM642, which works on the video, frame by frame. The processor carries out image processing techniques whose result contains information about the object in terms of image pixels. The algorithm aims to select that object, among all others, that poses maximum threat to the navigation. A database containing a total of three sounds is constructed. Hence, each image translates to a beep, where every beep informs the navigator of the obstacles directly in front of him. This paper implements a more efficient algorithm compared to its predecessor, NAVI. Keywords— Navigation, Edge Detection, Flood Function, Object Detection, DM642, Acoustic Transformation I.

...shows across the United States. Record music and movies in VHS format were also introduced to American homes. With the introduction of the digital format our telecommunications received a tremendous boost, and some of the early media outlets were replaced by more efficient ways of communication. This paper will describe some of the factors behind the recent loss of audience and sales in such media outlets as record music, movies, network TV, DVDs and video games. The introduction of the digital format changed the way we watch TV; high definition made possible to see a picture like never before, like if we were looking through a window. Digitalization allowed for a much better sound and picture quality in CDs and DVDs, which replaced the vinyl disc and the VHS tape. These media, however, continued to evolution so much so that in recent years media outlets such as newspapers, movies, network TV, DVDs and video games became obsolete. Digital is the key factor. Media outlets such as newspapers, movies, DVDs and video games are more tangible and cost more money to produce. These tangible versions of media are temporary, while digital is a permanent, more efficient way of getting and sharing the message. Media outlets such as newspapers and magazines are printed versions and cost more money to produce. They require tons of paper which is disposable and ends up in the trash, polluting the environment, and cannot be...

...Managers need not travel for Business In this world of advancement in technology we have reached a stage where we can communicate instantly. Advancements in communication technology with the developments in IT sector have led to a tremendous growth in virtual reality. As a matter of fact most of the IT systems are replacing traditional practices like maintaining large documents in offices. Everything is computerized But even today a lot of companies expect their managers to travel for Business meetings. Some of these meeting have an agenda of review of work which actually could be done through video conferences. Let us first understand why Business travels are being made. * Enjoyment - Many people love to travel and given enough time and resources, they would travel more. Enjoyment and the experience of being in another place are enough. * Keeping up with the trend - Behind the serious motive and purpose of business travel is the need to upgrade and keep up with the latest trends. And sometimes, by vacationing at a tourist spot can achieve just that. * Update information - Business meetings wherever it may be conducted also implies the exchange of information and business trends. When surrounded by contemporaries and colleagues, a businessperson can assess other possible ventures. * Achieving goals - Business is business. And as the saying goes, there is always a purpose for everything. And the fundamental purpose of a business meeting is either to impress...

...be paired with a phone using the My Glass app to allow quick fiddling with settings and customisation. Navigation You'll be able to use Google Maps to get directions although as there is no built in GPS receiver you'll need to tether Glass to your smartphone. Several third party developers have announced apps for services including Evernote, Skitch and Path. Memory There's 16GB of flash memory built into the device, although only 12GB is currently available for user storage. The device will sync to your Google Drive, giving you both a place to stash your photos and video clips as well as a stash of documents and files you can call up from the cloud. Camera There is a 5 megapixel camera built-in to the frame that can also capture video at 720p resolution. Battery The rechargeable battery last for roughly a day, although that's with the standard "typical use" caveat, which probably excludes a lot of video capture or playback. Connection Bluetooth and WiFi will be built in, but there is no GPS chip - so the Glass will probably work best alongside an Android phone for full Google Maps functionality. You can however pair with any Bluetooth enabled phone and we would expect some support for iOS at least. Design Glass is designed to be lightweight and as unobtrusive as possible. The frame will come with adjustable pads for comfort, and is expected to be both light...
