(North South University, 2021) Mohammad Ashraful Haque Abir; Shazid Hasan Riam; Mohammed Ariful Karim; Azizul Hakim Tareq; Golam Kibria Anik; Rashedur M. Rahman; 1520679042; 1621060042; 1711153042; 1711080042; 1712345642
According to the Global Burden of Disease project, skin diseases are the fourth leading cause of benign sickness. Diagnosis of dermatological diseases presents a challenge alongside the absence of trained dermatologists and access to formal medical care. This presents a critical challenge, especially in countries with a large rural population and minimal development. This report aims to study machine learning-based classifiers for predicting skin infections for three classes from a clinical dataset. Convolutional neural network (CNN) has been proved to perform well in image classification. The performance of the neural network is compared with a benchmark multiclass SVM classifier. Additionally, an android based mobile application was implemented, which integrates the classification architecture into the application. The results analysis and possible future works are also discussed in this paper.

Humanity has always attempted to give life to its artefacts as features in an attempt to find substitutes for itself to fulfil its directions and also to function in a hostile setting. A machine that looks like a human arm and works like it is the popular concept of a mechanical arm. The industry is moving from the current state of automation to robotization. Increase productivity and consistent quality production. The industrial robots of today may not look at all like a human being. However, the whole research aims to provide more and more anthropomorphic, and human-like features. Managing certain specific responsibilities, like sending a robotic car to hazardous settings for chemical analysis specimens. A typical robotic car can travel and cross obstacles across distinct terrains. A robotic manipulator or just a mechanical arm is one robot type that is commonly used in the industry. It is an open or closed kinematic chain of stiff links interconnected by mobile joints. In some environments, links can be considered as waste to match human anatomy. Upper arm with joint and forearm of the shoulder and elbow. At the end of the arm, a wrist joint connects an end-effector that can be an tool with which to function, or a gripper or any other device. The primary objective of this project is to create an industry/restaurant pick-and-place robot as an option for human employees. Compared to others, this scheme works correctly. The one portion of our project is the robotic vehicle and the other portion is the robotic arm component. The robotic vehicle is governed by voice, while the other is controlled by a joystick, which is the robotic arm. Thus it makes the pick and place robotic arm perfectly mobile. This project results in our hard work and commitment.

Healthcare is one of the least funded sectors in Bangladesh and many other similar developing countries. There is no health coverage and health insurance is almost non-existent. Thus, people living in rural and remote areas do not have access to proper healthcare and when they do, it is too expensive. The aim of this research was to develop a real-time health monitoring system that is cheap, easy to use and accessible by both doctors and patients. The system consists of several Internet of Things (IoT) based sensors connected to an Arduino microprocessor, which thus measures the body vital signs of the patients. The measured readings are then transmitted to an android application on a smartphone via a Bluetooth module. The sensors are connected to analog inputs. These sensors measure analog data which is amplified by the microprocessor after being sorted. Doctors can also carry out the diagnosis of ailments using the data collected remotely from the patient. An Android based mobile application that interfaces with a web-based application is implemented for efficient patients-doctors dual real-time communication. The android application, which is connected to a mySQL database, updates the said database, which in turn updates and displays the readings on a website accessible by both doctors and patients. The health monitor was initially tested using an Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) monitor and one single user. Once initial simulations were successful, it was tested on a sample size of 5 more patients. In the end, the testing of the wireless health monitor produced successful results that measured patient vitals with a high level of accuracy.

Smart Traffic Control System
(North-south University, 2022-01-20) Syed Asim Anwar; Md. Hasnat Alam; Fatima Tuz Zohura; Dr. Atiqur Rahman; 1711850642; 1712610642; 1711335642
This paper presents the implementation of smart traffic control systems using computer vision. In present days with the expansion of innovations, specialists are always looking for innovatives systems for traffic control. Nowadays traffic jams have become one of the major issues in Bangladesh. In our country, the vehicle density on the road is slowly becoming greater and much more uncomfortable. Road congestion has a major effect on the normal journey of people and restricts the economic development of society. And the main reasons for this type of road congestion are due to poor traffic management. In this paper, we propose a smart traffic control system by measuring the traffic density of the road by real time detection and image processing. So, we created a vehicle detection model to count the number of vehicles approaching a signal and we used a proper algorithm to measure the signal time based on the number of vehicles on the road.

With the advancement of science and technology, we have entered into a digital world where anything and everything is available within the grasp of our hands. We can see and do everything with just a few clicks and taps from our computers and mobile phones. With the development of the Internet, everything is becoming more digitalized. Nowadays, People are more connected via the Internet and they prefer the digital system instead of the traditional analog system. Currently, online shopping is becoming very popular and with this increasing popularity, a dealership management system can be considered as a game changing opportunity for some individuals. Our system has a huge market opportunity in the current existing market system. So, in order to keep up with the current market necessity, we want to build a software that will help the dealers to connect with their desired companies without any middle men. In the traditional way, the user had to use pen and paper to do complex calculations, make a list of products, take notes, manage contact numbers and maintain many other things. But we want to provide the user with all these features and many more within a single application. We want the user to have a hassle-free experience while using the system. We want to help the user to access this dealership management system from anywhere with a device with internet connection.
