Although initially based on the notion of the link between a physical device, its counterpart in a virtual environment and the technological aspects of that relationship, IoT-based wearable devices now offer multiple contributions to all types of users, from professionals and organizations to ordinary people. However, there are inaccuracies, abundant definitions, limited clarity in terms of trends, benefits, components, challenges and future lines of research. In this sense, a mixed literature review study was conducted. The mixed design, of dominant type (CUAN-qual), was composed of a quantitative analysis of bibliometric type and a qualitative analysis of thematic type and embedded in the first one. Data are provided on the main trends observed in the bibliometric indicators studied, a synthesis of some qualitative indicators of particular relevance and pertinence. In addition, future lines of research are presented to address strengths and challenges in this field.

These ICSs, which were previously isolated, have now become systems that contain online sensors, wireless networks and artificial intelligence technologies. This situation has also increased the scope of attacks by malicious people who intend to carry out industrial espionage and sabotage these systems. In this study, water quality estimation systems and anomaly detection are comprehensively examined. In this direction, the statistics of the studies in the literature, the methods for water quality anomaly detection, the existing data sets, and the difficulties encountered in the water systems to achieve better water management are discussed. Principle findings of this research can be summarized as follows: (i) new methodologies and architectures have improved water quality assessment through anomaly detection, (ii) different datasets including multi-modal information have been presented, and (iii) remaining challenges and prospects have been investigated.

Various industrial sectors, including healthcare, facility management, agriculture, energy, and transportation, use IoT technologies. Interconnected networks are starting to include IoT devices like wearables, commercial appliances, connected electronics, smart grids, smart automobiles, etc. These gadgets produce enormous amounts of data, which are gathered, examined, recorded, and kept on the networks. IoT security is challenging to secure since the devices employ basic processors and operating systems that may not be compatible with advanced security measures. The information and the devices that are used by organizations as a part of their network must be protected against hackers. In this paper, we discuss about overall review of IoT systems that contains the scope of IoT in the future era, Some of the characteristics of IoT systems, layers including the working Architecture of IoT. We will also discuss some of the vulnerabilities and surface area attacks, application areas regarding IoT. Potential weaknesses in the IoT system could cause serious issues for enterprises. The majority of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have security flaws, including incorrect physical security systems, lack of lock-out mechanisms, weak encryption schemes, improper key management systems, and improper authentication mechanisms, or the use of default credentials. As in the evolving era, security issues are becoming a major problem so some of the security threats of IoT are also mentioned here. This paper also provides the methods for addressing the vulnerabilities to IoT systems' security.

Software Defined Networks (SDN) is also considered as important factor for different network schemes and its proper administration or management. Due to major deployment in today’s networking era SDN are further sub divided in to commercial and open-source controllers. Commercial and open-source controllers are utilized in different type of businesses. According to our knowledge considerable amount of literature is available on these controllers but did not provide or analyse performance of these controllers on different network parameters. This paper evaluates and compares the performance of two well-known SDN open-source controllers POX and RYU with two performance assessments. The first assessment is the implementation of optimal path by using Dijkstra's algorithm from source to destination. Second assessment is the creation of a custom topology in our desired tool (MiniNet emulator). Then, the performance in terms of QoS parameters such as Jitter, throughput, packet loss, and packet delivery ratio are computed by two end hosts in each network. After the assessments, the performance of POX are optimal as compare to the RYU and best suited to be deployed in any scenario.

The data generates from sensors through IoT industrial systems, any fault in those systems affects their performance and leads to real disaster. Protecting them from any possible attacks is an essential task. to secure any system, it needs to predict in the first place possible attacks and faults that could happen in the future. Predicting and initiating the attack type and the accuracy of these predictions can be done with machine learning models nowadays on the datasets produced with IoT networks. This paper classifies several attacks type based on several criteria and techniques to enhance the performance of machine learning (ML) models such as Voting techniques beside six ML models; Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic regression (LR), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) using Enriching IoT dataset. The results showed that 100% accuracy was achieved in estimating process with the XGBoost model.

OBJECTIVES: To solve the weed detection and identification in complex field background.
METHODS: The dataset was enhanced by online data enhancement, in which the feature extraction, feature fusion and feature point judgment of weed image were carried out by Yolov7 to predict the weed situation corresponding to the prior box. In the enhanced feature extraction part of Yolov7, CBAM, an attention mechanism combining channel and space, is introduced to improve the attention of the algorithm to weeds and strengthen the characteristics of weeds.
RESULTS: The mean average precision (mAP ) of the improved algorithm reached 91.15%, which was 2.06% higher than that of the original Yolov7 algorithm. Compared with the current mainstream target detection algorithms Yolox, Yolov5l, Fster RCNN, Yolov4-tiny and Yolov3, the mAP value of the improved algorithm increased by 4.35, 4.51, 5.41, 19.77 and 20.65 percentage points. Weed species can be accurately identified when multiple weeds are adjacent.
CONCLUSION: This paper provides a detection model based on Yolov7 for weed detection in the field, which has a good detection effect on weed detection, and lays a research foundation for intelligent weeding robot and spraying robot.

The smart agricultural enabled by edging techniques such as smart sensor, IoT, machine learning, etc. shows great potential to improve the scientific breeding and management of dairy cows. Using machine learning assisted computer vision to identify and classify the behavior of dairy cows can quickly determine the health status of dairy cows and improve management efficiency. However, there are still some challenges need to be addressed in the current behavior recognition of dairy cows. Due to the more complex background of dairy farms, the increase in the number of cows makes the mutual shading problem of dairy cows serious, which leads to the low efficiency of dairy cow behavior recognition. To address this challenge, this paper collected and labeled four types of 1,660 dairy daily behavior datasets and proposed a residual neural network (ResNet)-based dairy daily behavior recognition model. Experiments show that the proposed method is far superior to the baseline method in accuracy performance, and it provides inspiration for the behavior recognition of cows.

For flood prone areas or countries, an essential part of their governance is flood management. The necessity to continuously review and analyse the adverse or ambient environmental conditions in real-time demands developing a monitoring system so that floods could be detected beforehand. This paper discusses different Internet of Things (IoT) based techniques and applications implemented for efficient flood monitoring and an early warning system and it is observed that in future, the combination of IoT and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data may be helpful to develop robust and secure flood monitoring and early warning system that provides effective and efficient mapping during natural disasters. The emerging technology in the discipline of computing is IoT, an embedded system that enables devices to gather real-time data to further store it in the computational devices using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for further processing. The IoT based projects that can help collect data from sensors are an added advantage for researchers to explore in providing better services to people. These systems can be integrated with cloud computing and analyzing platforms. Researchers recently have focussed on mathematical modeling based flood prediction schemes rather than physical parametric based flood prediction. The new methodologies explore the algorithmic approaches. There have been many systems proposed based on analog technology to web-based and now using mobile applications. Further, alert systems have been designed using web-based applications that gather processed data by Arduino Uno Microcontroller which is received from ultrasonic and rain sensors. Additionally, the machine learning based embedded systems can measure different atmospheric conditions such as temperature, moisture, and rains to forecast floods by analyzing varying trends in climatic changes.

transforms, two moments families were considered namely Tchebichef and Hahn. The goal is to propose a
fast and secure encryption scheme that can be deployed in real world scenarios. The proposed algorithms
operate in the transform domains of Tchebichef and Hahn moments. We encrypt only the most significant
coefficients of the moments transforms. First, we down sample the computed moments’ matrices coefficients,
then we use two logistic maps for confusion and diffusion of the down-sampled Tchebichef’s and Hahn’s
coefficients, the resulting matrix is the encrypted image. This approach improves drastically the time
performance of the encryption algorithm while keeping a “good” security level. In order to prove the
performance of our algorithms, we run different experiments and test the algorithms on different criteria:
MSE, correlation coefficient, differential analysis, entropy and time performance. The presented results prove
that the encryption algorithms proposed are secure and outperform state-of-the-art algorithms.

outbreak a pandemic, and quarantines are playing a vital role in containing its spread. But globally, the
defections of the quarantined subjects are raising serious concerns. If COVID-19 positive, the absconding
quarantine subjects can infect more people, which makes the timely detection of them vital. As the literature
suggests, a wearable makes a subject more compliant towards healthcare routines/restrictions; thus, in this
work, we have designed an IoT based wearable quarantine band (IoT-Q-Band) to detect the absconding. While
designing it, we kept in mind the cost, global supply chain disruption, and COVID-19 quarantine duration,
which the WHO recommends. This wearable prototype, with the bundled mobile app, reports and tracks the
absconding quarantine subjects in real-time. IoT-Q-Band is an economical solution that could benefit lowincome regions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This is performed using inertial sensors that measure the orientation at several positions on the body. Using these measurements, this work provides a preliminary analysis of the differences between experienced and novice rowers, or between a good and a bad technique. The analysis shows that the measured postural angles show no clear trend that would set apart experienced and novice rowers or a bad and a good technique. However, there are clear differences in absolute postural angle's consistency and timing consistency of strokes between novice and experienced rowers. We also applied a machine learning technique to the data to find the similarities between different rowers and an experienced reference rower. The results can be used to compare the quality of the rowing technique with respect to a reference. In this paper, we present our initial results as well as the challenges that need to be further explored.

UV-C is employed as it has germicidal properties, in particular - bacteria and viruses, but it is detrimental to human-beings as well. So, for the purpose of disinfection without human interference, a UV Robot has been designed and implemented that follows a pre-defined path. It was equipped with three 20W UV lamps which radiates light in all directions. Given that UV light can be dangerous to humans, an embedded system based on Arduino along with PIR sensors are employed on top of the robot that detects human or animal’s motion and presence. So, one of the effective ways to avoid getting infected with SARS-COV-2 (Corona virus) is by sterilizing rooms using UV robot.

mobile robot. The two main challenging aspects of mobile robotics are to achieve localization and navigation.
Localization determines the location of the robot with respect to its environment. Navigation is the movement of
the robot from one location to the other. Here, the unique design and representation of the QR code helped us to
localize and navigate the robot. A raspberry pi mounted with a camera is used to interface with the robot. The
triangulation method is used to localize the robot. Dijkstra’s algorithm is used to compute the shortest path from
source to destination. The system is monitored tested based on the feedback system established by the Hologram
cellular USB modem. Experimental results show that this approach has good feasibility and effectiveness. The
robot navigates through the shortest path, performs specified tasks, and returns to its source.

Nodes follow a synchronized, periodic sleep-wake up schedule to maximize the lifetime of the network. The implemented network consists of 24 sensor nodes in a 3 acre maize farm and its performance is captured by 7 snooper nodes for diﬀerent data collection intervals: 10 minutes,1 hour and 3 hours. The almost static nature of wireless links in the farm motivated us to use the same tree for a long data collection period (3 days). The imbalance in energy consumption across nodes is observed to be very small and the network architecture uses easy-to-implement protocols to perform diﬀerent network activities including handling of node failures. We present the results and analysis of extensive tests conducted on our implementation, which provide signiﬁcant insights.

Accidents can be defined as the unplanned event or the mistake that may occur resulting in injury and sometimes it also leads to death. The accidents in case of two wheelers are more compared to other vehicles. This may be avoided by wearing helmets and riding vehicles without consuming alcohol. This survey is on smart helmet for accidence avoidance and also examining various related techniques. This research also helps us to understand IOT technology which is being emerged now a days. From the literature survey we find that the method proposed using microcontroller RF transmitter and other sensors is cost effective but we find the system proposed using Raspberry pi module, Pi camera, Pressure Sensor, GPS system which uses image processing algorithms is most efficient since the image processing is included so that we can easily detect the use of helmet from the rider. Smart helmet system helps to provide safety and security to the two wheeler riders.

Therefore, this article seeks to identify the algorithms currently used by facial recognition systems through a Systematic Literature Review that considers recent scientific articles, published between 2018 and 2021. From the initial collection of ninety-three articles, a subset of thirteen was selected after applying the inclusion and exclusion procedures. One of the outstanding results of this research corresponds to the use of algorithms based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) considered in 21% of the solutions, highlighting the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Another relevant result is the identification of the use of the Viola-Jones algorithm, present in 19% of the solutions. In addition, from this research, two specific facial recognition solutions associated with access control were found considering the principles of the Internet of Things, one being applied to access control to environments and the other applied to smart cities.

The assumption is as follows: In a single Fog server, high traffic coming from Things may cause packet loss which in turn affect the overall IoT performance. To overcome such a situation, LB on Fog layer is proposed and implemented practically using virtualization technology. The proposed IoT based Fog-To-Cloud and Data-inMotion with LB (IoT-F2CDM-LB) architecture consists of two load balancers; HAProxy and Server Load Balancing (SLB), are used to distribute messages from Things to four virtualized Fog servers according to Least Connection technique. The implementation is carried out using VirtualBox and GNS3. Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is used to transfer messages between layers. Both load balancers result in packet loss reduction by 50%, lower response time and higher throughput.

So many researchers have dealt with and put their effort into this problem, as a result, several types of approaches have developed. Currently using traffic monitoring and alert systems are not up to the needs of smart city applications and more expensive. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) based Smart Real-Time Traffic Monitoring System to provide better service with low cost for Smart city applications using semantic annotations. The proposed framework contains two phases namely-traffic monitoring unit and traffic reduction unit. The first phase analyses semantic traffic to detect an emergency, the latter phase removes redundant semantic information for traffic reduction. Simulation results suggest that the framework is capable of accurate and early detection of an emergency as well as traffic reduction while keeping sufficient information to report the emergency.
