From the recent literature review, it is evident that existing agile methodology lacks the method to evaluate the requirement understanding of agile team members for a given set of requirement chosen for agile software development. Hence, there is a need to introduce a requirement understanding check to ensure every agile team member follows the given requirement clearly without any ambiguity. To fill this existing gap, this research paper proposes to extend the usage of story cards to evaluate the understanding of the given requirement and to highlight any challenges and risks in the early stage of requirement understanding under agile software development methodology, if any. This paper primarily focuses to introduce a robust requirement understanding evaluation process in agile methodology. The research results were found to be motivating and were analyzed by comparing the data-points using time-series for performing agile query analysis, agile team velocity analysis and agile team involvement analysis for two agile teams where one team delivered the sprint output using agile traditional method while another team opted for proposed approach. A considerable decrease of 33.07% was observed in the number of queried raised and a significant increase of 26.36% in agile velocity was observed for agile sprint under proposed approach when compared to agile traditional approach. Also, a significant shift from 40%-80% team involvement under traditional agile method was uplifted to 80%-90% team involvement under proposed approach.

Security solutions of stereo images are always a major concern during the transmission and communication. In this manuscript, a simple yet efficient framework for encrypting stereo images is formulated using discrete cosine transform (DCT), generalized logistic map, Schur decomposition and magic square method. The framework initiated with the integration of DCT and generalized logistic map to unify both pair of images. This unified image is then encrypted using the Schur decomposition and magic square method. The various experiments and analysis have been done to explore the validity, proficiency and performance of the purport framework.

The main idea of IoT is to connect several objects to each other through Internet. In the field of Computer Network the main problem identified by researchers is network congestion. Now a day’s network congestion is increasing very rapidly because IoT connect a huge number of devices to internet. A transport layer protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is accountable for network congestion control. The behavior of TCP is not stable as it takes long time to fill the available capacity of the network. It also continuously keeps assessing the capacity of data transmission through increasing the limits.TCP drops its data transmission rate aggressively when packets are dropped, which significantly reduces the throughput. This paper suggests a new approach, stable transmission control protocol for IoT applications. The experimental results show that stable transmission control protocol achieves better performance in terms of goodput.

People are used to exploring grayscale images in their family albums but it is difficult to grasp the reality without colours. Luckily, with advancements in Machine Learning it has been possible to solve problems previously thought impossible. The authors aim to automatically colourize grayscale images using a subset of Machine Learning called Deep Learning. The system will be trained on an image dataset and given an input grayscale image the model will be able to assign aesthetically believable colours. A grayscale photograph has been provided; our approach solves the problem of visualizing a reasonable colour version of the grayscale picture. This issue is undoubtedly under controlled; therefore earlier methods to this problem have either counted majorly on user interaction or it leads to in unsaturated colourizations. The authors put forward a completely automatic approach that will try to produce realistic and vibrant colourizations as much as possible. The proposed system has been applied as a feed-forward in a Convolutional Neural Network and has been trained on over twenty thousand colour images currently.

Malware attack is growing day by day in cyberspace. And Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is also facing a hazardous type of situation due to attack of malware (malicious code, virus, worm etc.). Malwares target sensor nodes easily because, nodes are equipped with limited resources. Hence, security of WSN against malware attack is one of the imperative requisite. Malware spreads in the entire network wirelessly, which initiates from single infectious node and spread in the whole WSN. In this way the complete network comes under the security threat. Therefore, it is mandatory to apply the security technique through which to secure WSN against malware attacks. To secure WSN due to malware attacks a quarantine based model has been proposed. The proposed model consists of various epidemic states namely: Susceptible Carrier - Infectious - Quarantine - Recovered - Susceptible (SCIQRS). The model explained the propagation dynamics of malware in WSN and proposed a technique to prevent its propagation. The technique of quarantine along with recovery is to much effective in prevailing of malware propagation in WSN. For the determination of WSN stability and equilibrium points the expression of basic reproduction number has been obtained. Malware propagation is affected by different network parameters, which has been also discussed. The comparative investigation of proposed model has been carried out with existing model. The proposed model has been substantiated by simulation outcomes

Trust “establishment (TE) among sensor nodes has become a vital requirement to improve security, reliability, and successful cooperation. Existing trust management approaches for large scale WSN are failed due to their low cooperation (i.e., dependability), higher communication and memory overheads (i.e., resource inefficient). This paper provides a new and comprehensive hybrid trust estimation approach for large scale WSN employing clustering to improve cooperation, trustworthiness, and security by detecting selfish sensor nodes with reduced resource (memory, power) consumption. The proposed scheme consists of unique features like authentication based data trust, scheduler based node trust, and attack resistant by giving the high penalty and minimum reward during node misbehavior. A task scheduling mechanism is employed for scheduling the significant task to reduce computation overhead. The proposed trust model would be capable to provide security against blackhole attack, grey hole attack, and badmouthing attack. Moreover, the proposed trust model feasibility has been tested with MATLAB. Simulation results exhibit the great performance of our proposed approach in terms of trust evaluation cost, prevention, and detection of malicious nodes with the help of analyzing consistency in trust values and communication” overhead.

VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Network) is a developing technology, which is a combination of cellular technology, ad-hoc network & wireless LAN to improve the safety of vehicle as well as driver. VANET communication can be of two types, first one is broadcast and second one is unicast. Either communication may be broadcast or unicast both are sensitive to different types ofassaults, for example message forgery, (DOS) denial of service, Sybil assault, Greyhole, Blackhole & Wormhole assault. In this paper machine learning method is used to detect the wormhole assault in VANET’s multi-hop communication. We have created a scenario of VANET by using AODV routing protocol on NS-3.24.1 simulator, which utilizes the overall mobility traces generated by the simulator SUMO-0.32.0 to model the wormhole assault. The simulation is performed by using NS-3.24.1 simulator, and the statistics created by flow monitor are collected. The collected data is pre-processed and the k-NN & Random Forest algorithms are applied on this data, to make the model such type so that it can memorize the wormhole attack. The novelty of this research work is that with the help of proposed detection & prevention technique, vehicular ad-hoc network can be made free from wormhole assault by using ML approach. The performance of proposed machine learning models is compared with existing work. In this way it is clear that our proposed approach by using ML is powerful tool by which the wormhole assaults can be detected in VANETs. A scheme based on packet lease and cryptographic techniques is used to prevent the wormhole attack in VANET

Day by day demand for object tracing is increasing because of the huge scope in real-time applications. Object tracing is one of the difficult issues in the computer vision and video processing field. Nowadays, object tracing is a common problem in many applications specifically video footage, traffic management, video indexing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and many other related fields. In this paper, the Enhanced Method of Object Tracing Using Extended Kalman Filter via Binary Search Algorithm is proposed. Initially, the background subtraction method was used for merge sort and binary search algorithm to identify moving objects from the video. Merge sort is to divide the regions and conquer the algorithm that arranges the region in ascending order. After sorting, the binary search algorithm detects the position of noise in sorted frames and then the next step extended the Kalman Filter algorithm used to predict the moving object. The proposed methodology is linear about the valuation of mean and covariance parameters. Finally, the proposed work considered less time as compared to the state of art methods while tacking the moving objects. Its shows less absolute error and less object tracing error while evaluating the proposed work.

The most important aspects of image processing are image enhancement. The visual form of an image can be enhanced by using image enhancement techniques for better human interpretation. In this research paper we discuss an   outline and analysis of commonly used image enhancement techniques using finger vein image or personal authentication. Also, experiments are carried out to compare performance of various types of filters for removal of noise from the noisy images through evaluation performance parameter such as mean square error (MSE), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) values and structural similarity (SSIM). It was found that application of max filter technique ensures an improved quality of the finger vein image. The mean filter is most advanced in de-noising the images. Mean filter is most efficient in eliminating the salt and pepper noise. From the experiments performed on finger vein image using SDUMLA-HMT database, it is proven that Weiner filters are outstanding for elimination of Gaussian Speckle and Poisson noises and thus, Weiner filter is found to be most appropriate and well-suited for eliminating nearly all types of noise.

The reconstruction of 3D images is always a difficult task for the researchers. The 3D reconstruction of the image is a core technique of various fields such as Computer graphics, computer vision, CAD systems, medical science, computer application, etc. Reconstruction of the 3D image allows us to gather the quantitative features of the objects such as the shape, size, and volume of the objects. The existing computer algorithms need spatial dimension information to make the distinguished inference from the given 3D image which is not always possible. This paper simplifies the 3D reconstruction of the image. This research paper introduced a novel algorithm for the representation of the Three Dimensional images into a textual form. The syntactic approach is used for the extraction of the features of the image and these are called knowledge vectors. The knowledge vector consists of the direction information and length information. This a new approach in the field of image processing where images can be represented as a knowledge vector and it could be a great contribution in the field where security is a major concern. Further, the knowledge vector is used for the reconstruction of the 3D image. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated on the PASCAL 3D + and example-based Synthesis of the 3D Object Arrangements dataset. According to the obtained results, the proposed methodology is having better accuracy, and the processing time of reconstruction of the original 3D image is 1.02 Seconds. Single-pass is sufficient for reconstructing the original image
