Humans use their eyes and their brains to see and visually sense the three-dimensional structure of the world around them. Computer Vision is the science that aims to give a similar, if not better, an ability to a machine or computer. Computer Vision is concerned with the automatic extraction, analysis and understanding of useful information from a single image or a sequence of images. It involves the development of a theoretical and algorithmic basis to achieve visual understanding.The term "surveillance" is derived from the French word meaning "to watch over" and, as applied to public health, means the close monitoring of the occurrence of selected health conditions in the population. In 1963, disease surveillance was de¿ned as "the continued watchfulness over the distribution and trends of incidence through systematic collection, consolidation, and evaluation of morbidity. The mortality reports and other relevant data" directly linked to timely regular dissemination of the results to "those who need to know" . The word surveillance means to observe a speci¿c area or to monitor the activities or behavior of individual or a group. It is very useful to the government to maintain social control, monitor and recognize threats, and investigate criminal activity. Digital and intelligent video surveillance has been one of the most active research areas in the ¿eld of computer vision. The goal is to e¿ciently extract useful information from a huge amount of videos collected by surveillance cameras by automatically detecting, tracking and recognizing objects of interest, and understanding and analyzing their activities.Surveillance cameras or video cameras normally used for the reason of recording or monitoring sensitive or strategic areas of a particular business. They are often connected to a recording device, and may be watching by a security guard or law enforcement öcer. A surveillance camera can be placed in strategic locations throughout private or public areas.
Women's entrepreneurship has been increasingly important in recent years in boosting the nation's economy. Most notably, there are lots of successful female entrepreneurs managing their businesses. Their family life and professional endeavors are both successful. Success in business demands the right training, aptitudes, abilities, leadership qualities, knowledge, and experience. The author of this book describes how people are typically emotionally invested in a specific setting. The degree of emotional equilibrium varies from person to person. Though the degree may differ amongst them, all female entrepreneurs in organizations have the potential to be emotionally intelligent. A woman entrepreneur experiences a range of emotions, including tension, worry, irritation, melancholy, happiness, and so forth. It covers both good and negative aspects of corporate performance. When people are positive, they perform better in business; when they are negative, however, an atypical environment is created and the entire business process at all management levels collapses. The ability to recognize and to some extent control one's own and other people's emotions is referred to as emotional intelligence. The significance of emotional intelligence among female entrepreneurs cannot be overstated. Women can be successful business owners if they have the necessary funding, work-life balance, abilities, education, and experience. It might not occur every time. Implementing a company plan involves overcoming a few obstacles. For instance, fierce rivalry, a lack of family support, inadequate funding, subpar promotions, etc. Individuals with strong emotional intelligence are able to rise to the occasion and accomplish their objectives with ease. People with low EI may find it difficult to handle these difficulties. It has an impact on the company, which could result in face loss rather than profit. The self-motivation explanation provided by the author significantly altered the mindset of female entrepreneurs toward positive traits. Individuals possessing exceptional emotional intelligence are capable of exhibiting remarkable self-motivation on their own. The way that female entrepreneurs approach business success will be more impacted by their level of understanding of both their own and other people's emotions. Overall, this book provides a valuable material for researchers, students, public & professional speakers, entrepreneur trainer and Individuals.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are new category of wireless networks that aregaining importance in large number in civilian and military applications. WSN is adistributed and autonomous sensor device used for monitoring physical or environmentalconditions. Sensor nodes are part of WSNs and are tiny in size. They are connected and communicate with each other to exchangedata and information. These nodes are capable of sensing temperature, humidity,pollution level in environment, atmospheric pressure and transfer these informationto a base station (BS) which is also termed as sink. Some of the applications includeweather monitoring, movement of vehicles in highways, movement of wild animals inforest, battlefield surveillance and industrial applications. Nodes in the networkcommunicate among themselves through wireless medium and the same medium isused to transfer data from sensor nodes to sink. Sensors are equipped with batteryas source of energy which gets drained quickly and in many situations they are notreplaceable. Therefore, there is a need to design protocols for different layers whichare energy aware. The objective of this chapter is to highlight the techniques, issues,challenges and applications of WSN.
