Wireless Enterprise Resource Planning System for Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises

The financial progress of India’s industries is majorly dominated by MSMEs (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises). The traditional Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is becoming steeped in the period. In recent years, the booming advancement in information technology, artificial intelligence, and communication technology has a huge impact on our lives. The advancement in the field of computing has taken a place in the global market. ERPs using Perceptual Computing will be eluding have a wave of innovative applications, perceptual computing uses natural language interfaces. The concept is to have a voice recognition system in the ERPs systems to ease the work load by generating the quotations, invoices, purchase orders, sales report and other kind of business reports as well as updating the catalogues via voice. Traditional ERP has a bit more complicated to use by the higher authorities of the organization due to less user-friendly environment of the ERP, it will be also user friendly and it will be easy to analyze the market on the terms of sales. Similarly, the reports would be generated from the data stored. This would help the non-savvy personnel such as the owner and such kind of higher authority persons to use and understand the ERP system so that the business will be on tracked continuously. This article takes an example of the retail sales industry, using various web technologies for web applications on the ERP system, which can achieve the purpose of the process to enhance the convenience of a higher level of the management team.

Computing with words for student peer assessment in oral presentation

Peer assessment in an oral presentation can motivate and give more sense of responsibility to students. In recent years, various methods have been proposed to evaluate peers. In this paper, a novel peer online assessment method is proposed for oral presentation using perceptual computing. The output of the proposed system can be a numerical score for the overall assessment of a student in the presentation, which allows comparison and ranking of student performance. Furthermore, a linguistic evaluation that describes the student's performance is obtained from the system. A case study has been conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed method; then the results are analyzed and reviewed.

Manipulation of Web Using Gestures

Gesture recognition is a type of perceptual computing user interface that allows computers to capture and interpret human gestures as commands. Gestures are generally the movement of the hands which is a form of non-verbal communication. We use gestures as input to control devices or applications or websites. By using the gestures, we directly open or manipulate the website for the users. When the user uses the gesture, the system captures the gesture and compares it with the stored gesture data. If the gesture matches the data, then the required website will be manipulated. These gestures are widely helpful for the people who are blind and unable to type. The main objective of the project is to deliver user friendly access to the web contents. The vision based technology of hand gesture recognition is an important part of human-computer interaction (HCI), thus stepping into the path of future and our project is one such kind of stepping stone. Our project really concerns the people who are not able to search contents on the web through text search. We provide an improvisable solution where it paves a way for research and development.

A Perceptual Computing Based Gesture Controlled Quadcopter for Visual Tracking and Transportation

One of the fundamental challenges faced by an inexperienced user in portable unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such as quadcopters is flight control, often leading to crashes. Addressing this challenge, and leveraging upon the technological advancement in perceptual computing and computer vision, this research presents a modular system that allows for hand gesture based flight control of UAV, alongside a transport mechanism for portable objects. In addition to ascertain smooth flight control by avoiding obstacles in navigation path, real-time video feedback is relayed from the UAV to user, thus allowing him/her to take appropriate actions. This paper presents the design implementation by discussing the various sub-systems involved, inter system communication, and field tests to ascertain operation. As presented from testing results, the proposed system provides efficient communication between the subsystems for smooth flight control, while allowing for safe transport of portable objects.
