    Face recognition is one of the numerous biometrics approaches that can be implemented by smart and automated attendance management systems. The individual identity can be determined by the unique representation of the face structure of each individual face and it cannot be lost, stolen, or reproduced in the same way as other types of identification. Thus, this work is motivated to propose a class attendance system based on face recognition. With current approaches such as passwords, access cards, and identification numbers, face recognition can be used to prevent theft and fraud which can significantly reduce the chances of system hacking. In this proposed work, initially, video framing has been implemented by activating the Universal Serial Bus (USB) camera through a user-friendly interface which was created with Graphical user interfaces (GUI) in the MATLAB software. The image of each student's face that was snapped by using the USB camera will be stored in a dataset. The dataset then will be divided into the training set and testing set. In the detection process, the Viola-Jones algorithm is utilized to detect and segment the image of student's face from the video frame. Next, the scaling of the size of the images is carried out to prevent the loss of information in the pre-processing phase. Then, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is utilized in the face recognition process in order to extract the features from facial images.

    Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. The death rate is high because of the lack of early signs. Due to the absence of a cure, immediate treatment is necessary to remove the cancerous cells and prolong life. For early breast cancer detection, it is crucial to propose a robust intelligent classifier with statistical feature analysis that considers parameter existence, size, and location. This paper proposes a novel Multi-Stage Feature Selection with Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (MSFS–BPSO) using Ultra-Wideband (UWB). A collection of 39,000 data samples from non-tumor and with tumor sizes ranging from 2 to 7 mm was created using realistic tissue-like dielectric materials. Subsequently, the tumor models were inserted into the heterogeneous breast phantom. The breast phantom with tumors was imaged and represented in both time and frequency domains using the UWB signal. Consequently, the dataset was fed into the MSFS–BPSO framework and started with feature normalization before it was reduced using feature dimension reduction. Then, the feature selection (based on time/frequency domain) using seven different classifiers selected the frequency domain compared to the time domain and continued to perform feature extraction. Feature selection using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is able to distinguish between class-correlated data. Finally, the optimum feature subset was selected using a Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) classifier with the Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) method. The research findings found that the MSFS–BPSO method has increased classification accuracy up to 96.3% and given good dependability even when employing an enormous data sample.

    An IoT-based automated gate system using camera for home security and parcel delivery
    The Internet of Things (IoT) has made it possible to set up smart home security and parcel delivery. Therefore, this work proposed an automated gate system using camera for home security and parcel delivery with integrated Internet of Things (IoT). An automated gate system will capture and identify the image of face visitors and delivery riders for admin authentication to open the gate and parcel box. This proposed work is controlled and monitored through mobile apps. The primary purpose and inspiration of this work are to help the delivery rider put the parcel into the parcel box provided if there is no person in the house, and the owner can pick up the parcel without being broken or robbed when she/he comes back home. When the delivery rider presses the button near the gate, the admin will receive the notification "Someone coming,". The admin will click the "okay"button and the system will take a picture using the camera in Blynk App. After the admin verifies that is the delivery rider, the admin will open the box and the delivery rider can access the parcel door box and put the goods inside the box. Another advantage of this work, it also allows familiar people to access our home. The same process with the delivery rider where the visitor needs to press the bell and the admin needs to verify before the visitor can access the single gate. The result indicates that this work is able to monitor and control the gate and parcel door box using an IoT application.

    Smart Management Waiting System for Outpatient Clinic
    Queuing has become a common occurrence in malls, train stations, and others. Queuing especially in healthcare intuitions has become a center of attraction because of the long waiting time either at the registration or in receiving treatments. Therefore, in solving this problem, a smart management waiting system for outpatient clinics is developed by using AppGyver and Backendless as the data storage. This system will be operating by QR code scanning for administrators to obtain patients’ personal information before patients obtain the queue number via MyQUEUE mobile application (patients’ interface). By providing queue numbers through the mobile application, patients don’t have to wait in a small uncomfortable waiting lounge instead patients can wait at their desired places such as cafeteria, in their car, and others. Patients also don’t have to worry about missing their turns because there will be a 10 minutes reminder before their turn. Other than that, there is a feature that digitalized the appointment details which means patients don’t have to worry about missing their appointment book or card. The performance of both systems which are the patients’ interface and administrators’ interface is successfully designed and the output obtained. The administrator is able to assign queue numbers, notify patients 10 minutes before consultation time, and assign follow-up appointments to patients.
