Face Recognition and Identification Using Computer Vision
Abstract: ABSTRACT In practice, identification of criminal in India is done through thumbprint identification. However, this type of identification has many constraints. Our face recognition poses to be able to detect face and recognize face automatically. Nowadays, face recognition systems use biometric for many security applications. This technique uses an image-based approach toward artificial intelligence by removing redundant data from face images through image compression using computer vision that compares a …

The Biomechanical Impact of Slipper Sole Compliance on Lumbar Spine Load: A Quantitative Analysis of Indoor Footwear Ergonomics
Abstract: Abstract The global shift toward remote work has significantly increased the duration of indoor footwear usage, yet the ergonomic standards for slippers remain critically under-researched compared to athletic or industrial footwear. While "high-compliance" or soft slippers are traditionally marketed for immediate comfort, excessive mechanical softness may lead to foot instability, altered gait kinetics, and subsequent compensatory stress on the lumbar spine. This study aims to quantify the correlation between varying …
