Pages: 38-45

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Everything in its way to be computerized and most of the objects are coming to be smart in present days. Modern Internet of Thing (IoT) allows these objects to be on the network by using IoT platforms. IoT is a smart information society that consists of smart devices; these devices can communicate with each other without human's intervention. IoT systems require flexible platforms. Through the use of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), IoT devices can interface with the outside world easily with low power consumption, low latency, and best determinism. FPGAs provide System on Chip (SoC) technique due to FPGAs scalability which enables the designer to implement and integrate large number of hardware clocks at single chip. FPGA can be deemed as a special purpose reprogrammable processor since it can process signals at its input pins, manipulate them, and give off signals on the output pins.

Suhad Qasim Naeem, Ammar Ibrahim Majeed, Noor Nateq ALfaisaly

Pages: 221-231

PDF Full Text
Abstract

The monitoring of COVID-19 patients has been greatly aided by the Internet of Things (IoT). Vital signs, symptoms, and mobility data can be gathered and analyzed by IoT devices, including wearables, sensors, and cameras. This information can be utilized to spot early infection symptoms, monitor the illness’s development, and stop the virus from spreading. It’s critical to take vital signs of hospitalized patients in order to assess their health. Although early warning scores are often calculated three times a day, they might not indicate decompensation symptoms right away. Death rates are higher when deterioration is not properly diagnosed. By employing wearable technology, these ongoing assessments may be able to spot clinical deterioration early and facilitate prompt therapies. This research describes the use of Internet of Things (IoT) to follow fatal events in high-risk COVID-19 patients. These patients’ vital signs, which include blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, blood oxygen level, and fever, are taken and fed to a central server on a regular basis so that information may be processed, stored, and published instantly. After processing, the data is utilized to monitor the patients’ condition and send Short Message Service (SMS) alerts when the patients’ vital signs rise above predetermined thresholds. The system’s design, which is based on two ESP32 controllers, sensors for the vital signs listed above, and a gateway, provides real-time reports, high-risk alerts, and patient status information. Clinicians, the patient’s family, or any other authorized person can keep an eye on and follow the patient’s status at any time and from any location. The main contribution in this work is the designed algorithm used in the gateway and the manner in which this gateway collects, analyze, process, and send the patient’s data to the IoT server from one side and the manner in which the gateway deals with the IoT server in the other side. The proposed method leads to reduce the cost and the time the system it takes to get the patient’s status report.

Internet of Things Based Oil Pipeline Spill Detection System Using Deep Learning and LAB Colour Algorithm

Muhammad H. Obaid, Ali H. Hamad

Pages: 137-148

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Given the role that pipelines play in transporting crude oil, which is considered the basis of the global economy and across different environments, hundreds of studies revolve around providing the necessary protection for it. Various technologies have been employed in this pursuit, differing in terms of cost, reliability, and efficiency, among other factors. Computer vision has emerged as a prominent technique in this field, albeit requiring a robust image-processing algorithm for spill detection. This study employs image segmentation techniques to enable the computer to interpret visual information and images effectively. The research focuses on detecting spills in oil pipes caused by leakage, utilizing images captured by a drone equipped with a Raspberry Pi and Pi camera. These images, along with their global positioning system (GPS) location, are transmitted to the base station using the message queuing telemetry transport Internet of Things (MQTT IoT) protocol. At the base station, deep learning techniques, specifically Holistically-Nested Edge Detection (HED) and extreme inception (Xception) networks, are employed for image processing to identify contours. The proposed algorithm can detect multiple contours in the images. To pinpoint a contour with a black color, representative of an oil spill, the CIELAB color space (LAB) algorithm effectively removes shadow effects. If a contour is detected, its area and perimeter are calculated to determine whether it exceeds a certain threshold. The effectiveness of the proposed system was tested on Iraqi oil pipeline systems, demonstrating its capability to detect spills of different sizes.
