ALGORITHM AND FLOW CHART

Intelligence is one of the key characteristics which differentiate a human being from other living creatures on the earth. Basic intelligence covers day to day problem solving and making strategies to handle different situations which keep arising in day to day life. One person goes Bank to withdraw money. After knowing the balance in his account, he/she decides to withdraw the entire amount from his account but he/she has to leave minimum balance in his account. Here deciding about how much amount he/she may withdraw from the account is one of the example of the basic intelligence. During the process of solving any problem, one tries to find the necessary steps to be taken in a sequence.

Here we will develop understanding about problem solving and approaches.

We have learned about an algorithm. How an algorithm to be written. This article explains the properties of an algorithm such as finiteness, definiteness, and effectiveness. Here we cover about the flowcharting. Flowcharting is a way of representing algorithm in the form of a diagram. We have learned about different symbols used in drawing flowcharts. This unit also explains about guidelines for drawing flowcharts. Finally we discuss about advantages of flowcharts and limitations of flowcharts.

COMPUTER VISION

 Computer Vision is the branch of Computer Science whose goal is to model the real world or to recognize objects from digital images. These images can be acquired using video or infrared cameras, radars or specialized sensors such as those used by doctors, scientist, geologist etc. Vision is a most powerful interfacing device for computers. They have the potential to sense body movements and their position, head orientation, direction of the body, and gestures. When the vision based interaction is established with the machine, they could make  the interaction between both of us enjoyable or safer. The algorithms for the computer vision should be reliable, work for different people, and work in odd conditions. The responding time of these algorithms should be very fast. The user should sense delay between when he moves or make gesture and when computer responds. The student will understand the basic techniques of the field of Computer Vision. We will also discuss what are the t...

FUNDAMENTALS OF EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Embedded systems are basic electronic devices used to control, monitor or assist the operation of equipment, machinery or a plant. The choice of word “embedded” reflects the fact that these are integral part of the system. Uses of embedded system in our real life are increasing day by day. Children need such systems to play video games and to operate chocolate vending machine, Housewives need embedded systems for microwave, TV, music system, and other system appliances. Here we will discuss about basics of embedded system: its uses, its components, its basic requirements in terms of Hardware and Software and support of Programming Languages. We will also highlight some application of embedded system in our real life scenario at the end of this unit. Embedded system is a kind of computer system or computing device that performs a dedicated function and/or is intended for use with a specific embedded software application. It has been found that such systems are not usable as a commercial...

ADVANCED METHODS OF COMMUNICATION WITH A COMPUTER

Human computer interaction is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use. If the interface is well designed, it will allow the systems functionality to support the user’s task. This unit tracks the development path of human computer interaction from the command line mode to hyperlinks, hypermedia, voice user interface etc. Here we have discussed about different perspectives of communication with computer. Humans communicate with computers in many ways, and the interface between humans and the computers they use is crucial to facilitating this interaction. Different perspectives of human computer interface are human perspective, computer’s persona, user interface and interactions etc. To communicate with computers, we require different kind of input and output devices are available. Controls are the software elements, usually shown on a display, which you use to set preferences and make choices. Some familiar cont...
