From the
Chairman's Desk
Dear Fellow Fraternity,
I am happy to inform you that All India
Seminar on “Cyber Security and Image
Processing” will be organized by the
Telangana State Centre on 10th and 11th
August, 2019. This seminar is meant to explore the connection
between these two seemingly unrelated areas. There are several
areas of concordance between these two. Protection of images
and video sent over the internet from tampering and their
authentication using cyber security/cryptographic tools has
become an active area of research. Parallel use of image
processing techniques like Visual Cryptography to enable secure
transmission of different types of information has opened up
new possibilities.
Visual cryptography involves the segmentation of information
into mutually exclusive and individually random looking
components and sending them over different paths. Here the
advantage is that even if one of the transmissions is intercepted
it cannot reveal any information. This makes it immune against
even computationally brute force attacks. This is especially
important because it is feared that with the advent of Quantum
Computing, Computational Complexity alone cannot provide
security. Use of biometric devices and interfaces like finger print,
IRIS and even face has become ubiquitous. This demands that
the data base is not tampered with.
Steganography has been an area of research for quite some
time. The possibility that steganography can be used to deliver
banned and objectionable content over the internet to children
and others is very real. This necessitates the development of IP
techniques which will sanitize this hidden content without
significantly affecting the base image. Several new results have
become available in this area. A related area is the prevention
of Video piracy. This again is a potential area of research. It is
proposed to discuss in the two-day All India Seminar on ”Cyber
Security and Image Processing” with the following Sub-Themes
related to the above topics such as: (i) Image and Video
Transmission (ii) Steganography (iii) Visual Cryptography (iv)
Cyber Security and more.
As you are kindly aware, Telangana State Centre has been actively
conducting such innovative programmes for the benefit of not
only the budding engineers but also for all interested participants
with a view to learn, unlearn and relearn on different emerging
subjects of today’s importance hope you will all attend and make
it a success.
With regards,
Dr G Rameshwar Rao, FIE

project concerned it was proposed to go
for a single lift.
The following major specif ications:
Approach Channel MDDL: 151.45 Mt (510
Feet) FSL; Bed level: 147.45 Mt;
Approach Channel length: 3 KM; Tunnel
Length: 1.5 KM; Diameter of Tunnel: 6 Mt;
Center line of the pump: 148 Mt; Capacity
of the Pumps: 18 MW; Number of Pumps:
4 Nos; Height of Lift: 100 Mt.
Various Components of this lift irrigation
Scheme like electrical equipment
transformers, transmission lines, auxiliary
equipment, etc., are not discussed here.
This is a very unique type of lift scheme
erected and commissioned in 2001 and
was the biggest in Asia in those days.
Lifting of water in single stage for a height
of 100 Mt is the challenging one. For this
M/s BHEL, Bhopal had designed and
supplied. This part of the work has been
taken up by APGENCO. Shri K Penta

taken over the work on behalf of
APGENCO.
Delivery mains of 3 Mt dia manufactured

of the pump house to top level of the
cistern level is 247 Mt (FRL).Each pump
capacity is 600 cusecs i.e. total discharge

is also a challenge and solution to the

the project was completed and
