Objectives of the Study: The objective of the study is to know the effect of Muscle Energy Technique on pain and range of motion on OA knee.Methodology: 30 subjects fulfilled the selection criteria and were selected randomly from Department of physiotherapy, SVIMS, BIRRD, Tirupati. The study conducted for a period of 6 weeks. Two groups comprising of 15 members each were formed. Conventional therapy was given to group I and METS was given to group II. Subjects were evaluated pre and post treatment for VAS and ROM.
Results: To test the significance of the mean difference between the two groups, unpaired t test was done. It is statistically shown that there is some significant impact in the parameters VAS and ROM. The results showed that, experimental group had more significant improvement in all parameters than control group.
Conclusion: Upon analyzing the differences between both the groups further, it was found that experimental group has shown significant improvement when compared to the control group. Hence MET plays an important role on decreasing pain and increasing ROM in OA.

Object recognition is the challenging problem in the real world application. Object recognition can be achieved through the shape matching. Shape matching is preceded by detecting the edges of the objects from the images, finding the correspondence between the shapes, measuring the dissimilarity between the shapes using the correspondence and classifying the object into classes by using this dissimilarity measures.
In this system we present a full-featured license plate detection and recognition system. The system is implemented on an embedded DIP platform and processes an Image in real-time. It consists of detection and a character recognition module. Detected license plates are segmented into individual characters by using a syntactic approach.
Character classification is performed with support dissimilarity measures. The major advantages of our system are its real-time capability and that it does not require any additional sensor input (e.g. from infrared sensors) except image.

Hand written digit recognition is challenging problem in real world application. The digits can be identified by its shape. The shape of the digit from the image is taken as the feature. The shape matching can be achieved by the distance between the reference and test shape. The distance is considered as the error between the test and error shape. By using this error, the images are classified into the digits. The normal NN-classifier is used in our system. Our proposed method is applied to MNIST hand written digit database. The algorithm developed using MATLAB and results were obtained.Keywords
