Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …

Underwater Image Enhancement and Edge Detection
Abstract: A hybrid image enhancement and edge detection algorithm for underwater images is proposed in this paper. The proposed enhancement algorithm augments the image quality and suppresses noise in underwater images. The novel edge detection process is centered on the pixel phase information present in images, thereby leading to edge pixels that are illumination invariant. Since, illumination influences a major portion of information in underwater images, subjective analysis of the proposed …
