    REAL TIME PATHPLANNING IMPLEMENTEDON AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS

    Our project is path planning of microbots. Path planningmodule is used to determine aroute from one co-ordinatelocation to another along a setof way points. The path

    followed by the micro bots isgiven through RRT (rapidlyexploring random treealgorithm) is an incrementalsearching algorithm, whichexplores state space fastly anduniformly. The RRT Algorithm isperformed in a numericalcomputing and forth generationlanguage called MATLAB .The2D image of the whole path isgiven by the camera mountedabove the field in which microbots are to be moved. The 2Dimage is transferred tocomputer in MATLAB software.The MATLAB then converts theimage into grid view which isthen stored in a2D Array. TheRRT Algorithm allows the micro

    PID CONROLLED ROBOTICARM

    The term robot comes from theCzech word robota, generallytranslated as forced labor.This describes the majority of robots fairly well. Most robots inthe world are designed forheavy, repetitive manufacturingwork. They handle tasks that aredifficult, dangerous or boring tohuman beings. One commonend effecter is a simplifiedversion of the hand, which cangrasp and carry differentobjects.

    For a working robot to beproduced, a number of differentsystems need to be designed.These include the robotic arm

    itself, including actuators, andfinally the control systems. Atthe same time as these systemsare being designed, a method tointerface them must bedeveloped.The first issue considered is thearm design itself. The basicprinciples of robotics areinvestigated and programs arewritten to implement them for ageneric serial robot arm design.This testing program is used toiterate through various armdesigns until a finalconfiguration is chosen.

    Simulations are then used toselect motors as actuators forthe robotic arm. These

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    4/41

    Simulations take into accountthe inertia and requiredvelocities of the robotic arm,and produce the requiredtorques. Motors are thenselected based on thesetorques.The physical design of therobotic arm is linked closely tothe modeling and design area.Approximate links are designedand then tested to ensure theydo not collide with each other.Once a viable set of links hadbeen decided upon they canthen be detailed with otherparts, such as bearings.

    Control of the robotic arm isthrough the use of amicrocontroller and motorcontrol circuits. Themicrocontroller takes in therequired motor torques andadapts this information into therequired control voltage whichit then sends to the motorcontrol circuits. These circuits

    take this control voltage andoutput a current to the motorsrelative to this control voltage.

    AN EFFECTIVE APPROACHTO COMBINE AUTONOMYFEATURES WITH RF BASEDTELE-OPERATION AND REALTIME MACHINE VISION ONUGV

    The objective of this project isto provide an efficient, securedand fresh approach of UGV sthat includes combination of tele-operation and autonomyfeatures at the same time.It takes around 24 years and agreat deal of money to make acomplete soldier but whenduring the battle his life is lost,all this investment along with avaluable life goes in vain. Beingan under developed country, asolution is required for this losswhich is greatly provided by ourproject. Our multi-operatedrobot will be able to replace

    soldiers to save trainingexpenses and lives.Another problem faced by ourcountry is the war againstterrorism, but through ourproject we can do operations interrorism affected areas andeven in remote areas withoutsending solders.Our idea is to provide anintelligent unmanned groundvehicle (UGV) having tworeplaceable modes of operation.One is tele-operation using RFand live video transmission andthe other one is autonomousmode based on GSM(communication mediumbetween UGV and controlstation), GPS for finding theUGV location and navigate thevehicle automatically along withreal-time machine vision usingwebcam (which works as an eyefor the robot).It can grab thingsusing its robotic arms and hassensors to avoid collision withobjects. It also includes a solar

    panel for the efficient chargingof the battery.Over the past few decades,wars, theft, terrorism and othercrimes have greatly increased.Our strategy is to overcomethese problems through ourrobot as it can provide locationof targeted area and dangerzone. It can serve as asurveillance robot for theintelligence and spy agencies toovercome security issues as itcan be derived to any requiredposition and it can be visualizedusing the live videotransmission, other than thiscan play a complete role of asoldier at the battlefield. Notonly this, our robot can be used

    DESIGINING OF ELECTRONICENGINE CONTROL UNIT(ECU) FOR ELECTRONICFUEL (INJECTION &IGNITION)-EFI WITHAUTO/SELF FUEL METERING

    Nowadays almost everymotorcycle engine usestraditional carburetors andcapacitor discharge ignition(CDI) system Pakistan. Howeverthis traditional technique of engine control system doesntprovide flexible means to adjustengines major parameters likefuel metering and ignitionangles due to which we cannotbring improvements /torque,acceleration, and the mostimportant is to control theemission of harmful gases

    according to the European laws.

    Today, in foreign countries acompetitive environment existsfor the electronic fuel injection(EFI) system, which is a fuelmetering system that canreplace the carburetor inautomobiles and motorbikes.Everyone knowledgeable in fuelinjection agree s that thissystem meter s fuel withremarkable flexibility and withcontrol accuracy unattainableby a carburetor.

    That is why initially are working

    to introduce an EFI (electronicfuel injection) system for aNON-EFI GY6 type engine, inwhich an ECU (ElectronicControl Unit) is designed toperform a task of enginemanagement. Here we replaceda stock carburetor with Air-Intake manifold by a speciallydesigned Throttle Body with thenew air-intake manifold and air

    filter in which TPS, MAP/MATand fuel injector have alreadybeen fitted at the appropriatepositions. The signals generatedby the various sensors fitted atthe different locations of theengine are acquired andprocessed by ECU to determinewhen to actuate the fuelinjector for how much time (tospray a specified amount of fuelinto the air just before the inletvalve of the cylinder under ahigh pressure, maintained withhelp of fuel pump and pressureregulator to optimize the fuelmixing) and when to ignite thiscompressed air/fuel mixture inthe cylinder so that it may rununder the optimize conditions

    and help to maintain an idealAir/Fuel mixture ratio i.e. 14.7:1at which an engine provides abest power, less emissions of harmful gases as well as isproved to be a fuel economic[2]. This system also provides aGUI based software from whichit is get connected to thecomputer via SERIAL/USB portfor tuning an engine accordingto our desires (like some of users need maximum powerwithout caring about fuelconsumption). This softwareprovides user a dual modeoperation in which under onemode a user can configure a fuelmap himself by running adynamometer test or downloada fuel map directly to the ECUprovided by us however undersecond mode or AUTO-TUNEmode a system configure it orgenerates its fuel map itself torun the engine at ideal Air/Fuelmixture of 14.7:1 Wellimplement this software using a

    Labview which will also enableus to monitor the real timeengine sensors data bydisplaying it using differentgauges so that we canaccurately tune-up an engine bykeeping our engine out of danger by continuouslymonitoring the data of enginetemperature sensor, oxygensensor, crank shaft rpm etc.[3]

The sirendetector will be tested on realsignals acquired and recorded incity streets with many traffic,different other sound sources(automobile horns, anti-theftalarms, motor noisy, etc.) Andthe presence of sirenapproaching. The performanceof the detector in terms of falsealarm and the missing of sirensignal are analyzed variableparameters.

    The detected signal consists of the desired information alongwith noise present in theenvironment and interferencedue to the other signalparameters. By applyingmathematical tools we have toextract the information fromthe acquired signal. Afteracquiring the desiredinformation signal, we have to

    LOW COST UNIVERSALINDUSTRIALECM CONTROLLLER MONITOREDVIA LABVIEW

    In the present market, itbecomes a challenge when itcomes to determining whichtype of motor you need forwhatever application. There arevarious issues which need to beconsidered like motor cost,amount of power and for howlong the motor needs to last.This spreading has imposed theneed for low cost motor controldrives, and a series of newtechniques, tools and circuitshave appeared if you have aproject or application where youwill only need a motor for shortterm use, you may prefer a

    cheaper motor that may wearout more quickly. If your jobrequires a motor that will last aspossible, you will probably wantto consider EC motor.The aim of this project is todevelop a lab view monitoredcontroller for EC motorsbecause they have controlrequirement with variations involtage and current,cumulatively termed as power.The target is to make a systemthat can be readily modified fordifferent motors from differentmanufacturers hence making asomewhat universal BLDCcontroller.To our best knowledge, thecontroller of BLDC is not locallypresent in the market and theindustries import these becausethe life of motor is long but itscontroller is not long lasting.Our project can help them asthe need for the driving circuitwill be solved, moreover withthe modification of status

    monitoring through LabVIEW itwill become easy for the user toexamine the status of themotor. If we reach our targetwithin time we will introducesome more adaptation to ourproject by making some kind of intelligent conveyor system anddrive it through our circuitry.

    DESIGN SIMULATIONS ANDANALYSIS OF A PULSECOMPRESSION RADARRECEIVER WITH DIFFERENTCODES USINGMATLAB

    Increased demand for greaterdetection ranges in radarsystems is greatly affected bythe transmitting peak powerlimitation which, for narrowpulse operation, is usuallyreached before the full averagepower capability of thetransmitter is realized. Thetechnique of pulse compressionoffers a means of increasing the

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    11/41

    average power availablewithout any loss of theresolution needed for tacticalrequirements of the system.This is accomplished bytransmitting a wide pulse inwhich the carrier is frequencymodulated and then, by propersignal processing methods,causing a time compression of the received signal to a muchnarrower pulse of high effectivepeak power.Without the of pulsecompression pulse widthscannot be reduced indefinitely.Extremely narrow pulse widthsresult in wide receiverbandwidths and the associatedproblems with noise. Largereceiver bandwidths effectivelyde-sensitize the radar receiverand either force the transmitterto transmit higher levels of peakpower to compensate, or acceptthe consequential reduction.There are always limits on theamount of peak power available

    from the transmitter, andinvariably a reduction in pulsewidth leads to a reduction in themaximum range of the radar.Pulse compression allows us usea reduced transmitter powerand still achieves the desiredrange resolution.It is an important signalprocessing technique used inRadar systems which combinesthe high energy of a long pulsewidth with high resolution of ashort pulse width. There areseveral advantages of pulsecompression. Transmission of long pulses permits a moreefficient use of the averagepower capability of the radarand generation of high peak

    power signal is avoided.

    Our project discusses the use of a simulation tool (MATLAB) tomodel the circuit and algorithmsto boost the radar performanceso that it consumes minimumpower and cover maximumrange. Different pulsecompression techniques are tobe used in this project toobserve their effect on radarperformance. Our motive is todesign a radar filter whoseperformance will be better thanconventional radars i.e. havinghigh average power andincreased jamming immunity.

    GRID TIE INVERTER WITHBATTERY BACKUP.

    The inverter is the heart of allbut the smallest power systems.It is an electronic device thatconverts direct current DCpower from or batteries or solarmodules into alternating currentAC power to operate lights,appliances or anything thatnormally operates on powersupplied by the utility grid.Inverters come in manyvarieties, sizes and qualities andoffer various features that make

    them distinct for particularapplications.A grid-tie inverter (GTI) is aspecial type of inverter thatconverts direct current (DC)electronic into alternatingcurrent (AC) electricity andfeeds it into an existingelectrical grid. GTIs are oftenused to convert direct currentproduced by many renewableenergy sources, such as solarpanels or small wind turbines,into the alternating current usedto power homes and businesses.The technical name for a grid-tieinverter is grid interactiveinverter. Grid-interactiveinverters typically cannot beused in standalone applications

    SMART GRID WITHEMBEDDED INTERNET ANDZIGBEE ENHANCEMENTS(SEIZE).

    The grid system which is spreadall over the world and whichsupplies power to each andevery electricity consumer inthe world is now demanding forsome change. A change thatcould make it smart enough that

    it can sometimes makedecisions of its own, sensethings which it was never ableto sense before. To keep itsimple the grid system of old1980s has to be changed toSmart Grid. Unlike the existinggrids Smart Grid has manyadvantages such as control andmanagement of electricity whenpower producers are facing ashort fall, involving consumer toparticipate his/her level best,deal with natural disasters andovercome the difficulties in theflow of electricity etc.Implementing such a thing ischallenging all over the world.The Europeans are doingresearch on it, specially the USA,

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    17/41

    Canada, Korea, yet it is still notimplemented there but theresearch is on its peak. You cantsay for sure that the project isnew. Since smart grid has beeninto appeal of many powerproducers so its not unfamiliarto the world. The thing thatmatters is that it is such a vastfield that if you pick an aspectand implement it according tothe needs of your area theproject takes a new tum andbecomes all new project. Theproject has the ability to cover100% Pakistan population, a100% target market is there, asa matter of feasibility, theproject proves to be practicaland implementable by theresearch the Europeans aredoing, the idea implementationwhich we are proposing is basedon management and reality. Theproject stars with powermanagement. How theoverloading causes increase inpower burden? How can load

    shedding be overcome? , arethe question which areanswered by our project. Thereare two major parts of ourproject.

    The first part is Smart meterand the Dynamic Loadmanagement

    The second part is consumerinvolvement in the distributionof Electricity.

    Smart grid is very much relatedto Smart meters. Smart is aunique device not to beconfused with Digital Meters.The Smart meter will haveembedded system in it, for therequired function to be carried.

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    18/41

    Thus, we will be working on theEmbedded Systems. The Smartmeter will have a embeddedsetup to point out the powerloading of every area (based onone station). There are sub-station 100 to 150 meter apart,thus the power consumptioncommunication between thesub-stations in a station can bedone via Zigbee. Thus, our nextmain domain is the study andimplementation of Zigbee forwireless transmission andreceiving. Preferring wireless onwired communication becausecollecting data from each andevery house in an area with wire(twisted pair of wire) will cost agreat amount of money for acountry like Pakistan whereason the other hand Zigbee can dothe same work with muchcheaper price. The stations mayhowever be communicatedthrough wired-network which isEthernet, because of theirdistance constraints and

    relatively larger data transfer.Networking through Ethernet isthus the other area of project.Apart from networking theproject includes the webpagehosting through Embeddedinternet technology which usesEmbedded system to host awebsite and directly upload theconsumer data i.e. electricityusage and billing etc. onwebsite. There will be built-inADC, DAC integrators for powercalculation (obviously in digitalfrom), consumption charges andalarming purposes (in case of high power loading). Our nextdomain is the integrated CircuitsDesign. There will be a systemof keeping an eye on power

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    Stealing, power will bemonitored and automatedcontinuously For this purpose, acontrolling system is demanded.Our next area is theMicroprocessor/Microcontrollerapplication. LCD display will bethere for consumersspecifications, and voice alarmsfor consumers attentionMoreover we are using GSMtechnology to inform consumersabout their power usages etc.

    HAND GESTURE IMITATIONBY A ROBOTIC HAND USINGIMAGE PROCESSING ONCUDA SUPPORTED GPU

    We are making a vision-basedsystem which would be able torecognize a gesture made by theoperator and a robotic handwould be able to imitate thatgesture. ForRecognition of gestures we areusing image processing onGPUs. For programming GPU,CUDA (Compute Unified Deviceof Architecture) supportedgraphic card will be used.

    As far as gesture recognition isconcerned, usually two

    techniques are used in thisdomain. Glove based and Vision Based .In glove based systems, a gloveconsisting of large number of sensors and transducers, forexample, flexion transducers,are used. These sensors detectmovement of fingers in the formof change in their resistances. Inthis way mechanical movementis converted into electricalsignals. These signals areprocessed and necessary controlsignals are produced whichdrives motors of the robotichand to make the requiredgesture. Glove-based systemshave certain advantages. Theyare accurate and are not made

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    20/41

    for some controlled conditions.But we have to buy these glovesto use recognition system. Thisalso produces problem of wearing these gloves all thetime.Vision-based systems are amore advanced technique of implementation of gesturerecognition systems. In thissystem, is there is no physicalconnection between humanhand and recognition system,which is its main advantage.This type uses image or imagesfrom a single or more than onecamera. Correct gesture isdetermined by applying imageprocessing on images. Vision-based systems have advantageof not wearing any glove. But ithas lots of challenging. Thesesystems are generally made forsome controlled conditions.They are sensitive to lightingconditions and backgrounds. Somaking such a system which isapplicable to considerably

    varied conditions is achallenging task.Image processing is a verypromising field of researchthese days. As it provide a sortof eyes to our systems. In imageprocessing, mathematics isapplied on an image andinformation is extracted from it.This information is thenmanipulated to do the requiredtask. Its applications can befound in medical imaging,remote sensing, patternrecognition, image restorationand advancement,CUDA (Compute Unified DeviceArchitecture) is another widelyresearched area these days. Itallows us to get benefit from

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    21/41

    the massively parallelarchitecture of modern daygraphic processing unitsallowing very rich computationcapability, fast parallelcomputing and less executiontime. It was created by NVIDIA,a leading graphic processingunit manufacturer. These GPUsare also very much suitable forimage processing as imageprocessing requires applicationof same instructions on largenumber if pixels. So using CUDAwe can make a multi-threadedsystem in which each threadedin doing the same thing ondifferent data paralleling i.e.working in Single instructionMulti-Data (SIMD) fashion. Sowe are using the vastcapabilities of CUDA supportedGPUs to do pattern recognitionfor determining the correctgesture.Applications of our projects canbe in industries where operatorshave to handle dangerous

    chemicals. Using our system,the robotic hand can handlethose chemicals by following thegesture of the worker, withoutexposing the worker directly tothose chemicals. Our robotichand will not be programmedfor a specific task, but will dowhat the worker or operatorwants it to done by interacting itwith his gestures.If we are successful in makingsuch a system, then gesturerecognition alone (excluding therobotic hand) can be applied inother applications. For example,in virtual environment, we canuse gesture recognition to moveobjects in virtual reality it canalso be applied in formation of a

    Human Computer Interface(HCI) which provide a vastspectrum of application incomputer and provide a newand very interactive type of input device. Anotherapplication of recognitionformation of tool of easilyinteraction between a dumband normal person. A mode of communication between adumb people is sign language.So if these pre-defined handgesture which represent aparticular action is used as ourimage database, then computerwould be able detect thegesture made by the person andwould be able to display whatthat person want tocommunicate.

Due to thisincrease in complexity, forefficient analysis of process thenumber of parameters requiredfor data acquisition alsoincreases. Data Acquisition issimply the gathering of information about a system orprocess. The project is based onRFID technology that will sensethe position of the Employeeand tells his location at thecontrol room having a completedatabase and store theinformation like attendance andentrance and exit timing of employee. Secondly if it detectsa specific tag it will turn on thealarm and the robber will becaught easily. Also it keeps therecord and check on themobility of goods.The basic of our project is toprovide absolute visibility andcontrol over inter-organizational

    transaction and thereby enablereal time tracking. Wearerpresenting a new protocol bywhich the location the physicalobjects would be tracked asthey pass through transactions.A delay analysis of the locationupdate of a mobile objectthrows light on the efficiencythat project provides in objectmonitoring. Our intelligentmonitoring system using RFIDbased object tags andautomated identification andtracking can avoid the delaysand errors due to humaninterference otherwise incurredin distributed transactions.

The purposeof surveillance systems is toprovide the capability of collecting authentic andpurposeful information andforming appropriate decisionsto enhance safety. Ourproposed robotic system willnavigate through the particulararea which is to be surveyedand will wirelessly transmit thevideo of the area. The robot hastwo different modes of operation, one is semi-autonomous in which anoperator will be guiding therobot to the destination via RF,second is fully autonomouswhich will ON when the RF linkbetween robot and base-stationgets down. The basic idea is todevelop a robotic system thatcan serve the purpose of surveillance, save man powerand provide a much safer andsecurer way.The surveillance robots findextensive scope in hazardous

    conditions, medical sciences,defense sector, industries, anti-terror activities and fire-fightingetc. These robots can go to theplaces out of human reach. Theycan also be used in industriesfor picking and placing objectwhich gives birth to a relativelynew type of robots-thesurveillance pick and placerobots. In defense and anti-terror activities, the surveillancerobots find their huge scopeincluding the condition of chaosand also to efficiently track thatwhether a person is taking someweapon or anything that can beconsidered as fatal or harmfulfor the society.The potential customers that

    The peoples future livingenvironments are emergingbased upon informationresource provided by theconnections of variouscommunication networks forusers. New small devices likepersonal Digital Assistants

    (PDAs), mobile phones,handhelds and wearablecomputers enhance informationprocessing and accessingcapabilities with mobility.Moreover, traditional homeappliances, e.g. digital cameras,ovens, washing machines,refrigerators, vacuum cleaners,and thermostats, withcomputing and communicatingpowers attached, extend thefield to a fully pervasivecomputing environment.MANETs are a very importantpart of communicationtechnology that supports trulypervasive computing, because inmany contexts informationexchange between mobile units

    cannot rely on any fixednetwork infrastructure, but onrapid configuration of a wirelessconnection on-the-fly.[1]

    MANETs however have a hugepower constraint. The battery of each mobile node is a hugelimitation on the performanceof the network. Once a batteryruns out it has to be replaced.Foreseeing the bright future of this network, we propose atechnique that will not onlydecrease the energyconsumption of the mobilenodes but will also increase thethroughput and the efficiency of the network while decreasingthe data loss rate; thusincreasing the battery lifetimeof the mobile nodes andenhancing the performance of the network paving the way forfuture developments inMANETs. These results will beachieved by implementing anenergy efficient network coding

    GESTURE RECOGNITION TOSPEAK SIGN LANGUAGE

    Sign Languages are the primarymode of communication formany Hearing impaired (HI)people, because these are full-fledged languages in their ownrights. Its use is reinforced by itsacceptability, usefulness inteaching and in general dealingof HI with the hearing world asalso the language role and utilityin dealing within their owncommunity. As most hearingpeople do not know SignLanguage and know very littleabout problems of HI people ingeneral. For such reasons thereexists a large communicationgap between persons using SignLanguage and persons using

    auditory verbal speech. Theproject Ges TALK helps them toconvert their Sign Language intovoice. The operation comprisesof three basic modes. In the firstmode, a single alphabet isspoken for a gesture as soon it ismade by the user. In the secondmode, the user can speak thewhole string by concatenatingwords; several gestures of alphabet are made to spell outthe words involved in string. Thelast important mode is thegeneration of voice for standardSingle Hand Static words. Theproject comprises of three mainmodules: Virtual Reality DataGlove, Embedded System forProcessing and Control and DSP

For the application of this robot we are designing asmart which base on the samestructure and design and have anetworking setup forcommunicating with the master.The concept is that it will moveto a position specified to it bytransmitting the co-ordinatesfrom the master via Wi-Fi. Aspecified area will be mapped inthe robot and when giveninstruction, it will start movingtowards the position and alsodetect hurdles in its path. Thehurdles and obstacles will bedetected by using imageprocessing and IR sensor. Inimage processing the image willbe taken after a specific timeinterval then the distance willbe calculated from obstacle. TheIR transmitter will transmitInfrared rays at a specificfrequency and these rays reflectback by hitting the obstacles. If the obstacle is static then robotwill change its position and if

    the obstacle is moving then itwill just stop for seconds andwait for the obstacle to crossand if the obstacle stops in theway, the robot will change itspath it will continue its motion.

    Analysis and Recoginizationof Living Room EnviromentSound.

    Research on various eco-environment sounds have manyspecific properties such as thediversity, high background noiseand non-stationary structurewhich make many traditionalaudio features hadr tocharacterize them accurately.Humans have the ability toidentify sound just by hearing asound. Adapting the sameproblems to computers is called(automatic) sound recognition.Several sound recognizers havebeen developed throughout theyears . The accuracy provided bythese recognizers is influenced

    by the features they use and theclassification methodimplemented. While there aremany approaches in soundfeature extraction and in soundcharacteristics.The potentialities of a soundrecognizer are vast. Systemsthat actuate according to therecognized sound can improveour quality of life as they canhelp doing and even doactivities for us (like turninglights on when someone claps,calling 112 when someone criesfor help, etc). There are twomain types of soundrecognizers: those thatrecognize the words in voicemessage and those that

  • 7/28/2019 FinalYearProjectExecutiveSummary_2012

    36/41

    recognize the sound sources.Our proposed recognizer issound source recognizer.We test our recognizer withdifferent features of the sounds.There are many proposals of how to extract these featuresand what features to use liketemporal, spectral, cepstral etc.Using the features extracted wedefine the classes of sounds,one for each of the object weuse. Then we can implement theclassification system: anapplication that matches a testsample with one of thoseclasses of sounds. Manyclassification methods are to bestudied in order to find the onewhich can ensure betterrecognition results, such as k-Nearest algorithm, GaussianMixture Models (GMM), HiddenMarkov Models (HMM) etc.

    Using the appropriate soundfeature and classifier therecognizer will recognize the

    sources of living roomenvironment sounds. Thisrecognition of sound sourceshas many applications like it canbe used in security system forplaces where cameras placingare bidden, in industrialautomation for controlling inbasis of recognizing soundsources and in mobilecomputing devices.

    changes and difficulties in mindand by over research we havedecided to model theparameters firstly. Then initiallywe will go for a smallenvironment and then we aregoing to see the impact of thoseparameters for thatenvironment. We will basicallyimprove the understanding of speech in an open atmospherein which there are many othernoises apart from over desiredsound. We will study thedynamics of speech by usingDynamic Bayesian Network(DBN). And by learning thatdynamics of speech we canmake the machine orequipments to learn them, andto make speech recognition abit more robust someinformation on the probabilityof certain words occurring nextto each other is used. This is wewhat can call Languagemodeling. And once themachine is intelligent enough to

    catch and learn the dynamics, itcan easily differentiate betweenthe words that sounds almostsimilar over work will be totallyspeaker independent that is itwill be for multiple speakers.
