applications. The main dierence among them depends on the purpose they were created for. In addition, a challenge that audio watermarking systems face is the fact that the human auditory system (HAS) has a wide dynamic range and it is also sensitive to noise . Therefore, audio watermarking systems are concentrated on inserting the watermark in such a manner that the watermark is undetectable. In order to accomplish this, various algorithms have been proposed and implemented, consisting of the two crucial

space, because sound spreads and leaks, like odour. Unlike music, Sound Art usually does not require silence for its proper presentation. Containers of silence called music rooms resonate with the aesthetics and affects on the body of a gallery space; white walls, floorboards to create optimum acoustics, and an ethereal sense of time and space.

Interest Point Detectors Introduction: How it started Our original idea was to implement the beginning stages of a paper on measuring the driver fatigue detection from a sequence of images []. Majority of accidents reported are due to driver fatigue. One of the important parameter to be detected to measure the driver’s alertness is to track his/her eyes in the given image sequence. Eye detection is an active research area in computer vision. Applications can range from face detection to biometrics
