Advanced Image Processing Techniques
Texture is one of the most important features for classifying and recognizing objects and scenes, and can be characterized by local variations in pixel values that are repeated regularly or randomly throughout the object or image. Several methods for classifying images using texture features have been proposed in the literature. However, there is no generic method or formal approach that is useful for a wide variety of images. Texture refers to a visual pattern that has some homogeneous properties that are not simply the result of color or intensity. Unlike other characteristics (brightness, color), texture cannot be defined on a single pixel, but rather across a region or set of pixels. The three main approaches used in image classification to describe textures are statistical, structural and spectral, which are presented in this paper.

Secured Authentication System for Internet of Things
Academic Paper from the year 2024 in the subject Computer Sciences - Internet of Things, IOT, grade: A, Free University of Berlin (The National Institute of Engineering, Mysore), course: Ph.D, language: English, abstract: The key objectives defined in this thesis are given as follows: To analyse the different security breaches in the IoT Ecosystem. To develop a lightweight cryptographic scheme for secured Authentication in IoT. To develop a multilevel security model by using Enhanced Cryptosystem for secured Authentication in IoT. To ensure reliable and secure communication and access across multiple co-operatively communicating devices in IoT ecosystems ensuring optimal security and authentication system is must. Though, IoT demands ensuring security and authentication for both "device level security" and "data security under communication". Noticeably, the device level security addresses attack resilience from any unwanted or unexpected intruder by applying certain authentication variables or key agreement policies. However, in the last few years, the events pertaining to smart card loss attack (SCLA), Brute-Force attack, impersonation attack, data sniffing attack etc., have questioned major at-hand security solutions. The irony is, in the majority of IoT systems, the access information or the key agreement information is saved or preserved onto the local memory, which often broadens the horizon for data loss, or attack. In such classical approaches the possibility of SCLA, Impersonation and Brute-force attack can't be neglected. And therefore, ensuring both system level access authentication is inevitable. In other words, strengthening data security in IoT systems is equally significant like device level security and authentication. Once system considers both data level security as well as device level authentication system retaining quality of content and hardware efficiency becomes equally inevitable. On the other hand, maintaining efficacy of the security

The C Programming Language - C Programming for Beginner’s with 255 Practical Programming Examples
This book is intended for programming beginners who want to learn the universal programming language C. More than 250 documented program examples in this book make it easy to get started. C is a powerful and widely used programming language that has had a significant impact on the field of computer programming. Developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in the 1970s, C was designed to provide low-level access to computer hardware while maintaining a high degree of flexibility and portability. C is known for its simplicity, efficiency, and ability to manipulate memory directly. It provides a comprehensive set of features, including data types, control structures, functions, and libraries that allow programmers to write efficient and concise code. C is particularly well suited for systems programming, embedded systems, and other applications that require direct hardware access. One of C's main strengths is its focus on procedural programming. It emphasizes structured programming techniques such as modular design and code reuse, which makes it easier to organize and maintain large-scale projects. In addition, C's syntax has influenced many other programming languages, making it a valuable learning language for aspiring programmers. Despite its low-level capabilities, C is also a high-level language, providing abstractions that facilitate the development of complex software systems. The standard libraries provide a wide range of functions for tasks such as input/output operations, string manipulation, memory allocation, and more. C has become widely used in the development of operating systems, compilers, embedded systems, and other performance-related applications. Its popularity has led to an extensive ecosystem of tools, libraries, and resources that support C programming and make it accessible to programmers of all experience levels. Although C has a steep learning curve for beginners due to its low-level nature and explicit memory management, mastery of t
