This requires proper orientation with respect to the earth if imaging is to be done at all times. The axis of rotation in the space is to be kept constant with respect to the earth to ensure proper acquisition of images. To ascertain the credible orientation, image processing can be used. Horizon is found out through edge detection which then evaluates the pitch and roll through the algorithm. The threshold via edge detection provides a line through the edge threshold evaluating the attitude through pitch and roll data. The axis is defined which can be used for various purposes. Stabilization of axis of satellite is of great importance and image processing is used to provide for such values. Continuous image processing can further help in structuring broadcasts and communications.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133898173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During external disturbances of abrupt load variation and PV generation fluctuation, controllers play the most key role in regulating the system performance. In this paper, a proposed combination control method of model predictive control (MPC) and sliding mode control (SMC) for moderating the power converters is presented. The interlinking inverter is controlled via applying MPC while DC-DC converter is controlled by SMC. MPC is well known as most reliable and modern approach for non-linear systems to compensate noise and handle modeling inaccuracies for efficient load voltage profile. On the other hand, SMC is considered as the most stable controller with highly robust operation for DC-DC converters. Intermittency nature of renewable energy systems and abrupt load variation have a severe impact on load voltage quality. Keeping in view the sophisticated control attributes of MPC and SMC, inner and outer control loops with primary droop control are designed for interlinking converter by using MPC while SMC is designed for the DC-DC boost converter. Controller performance is analyzed through simulations with fluctuating generation, and variable loads. Unlike conventional cascaded PI controller, proposed MPC strategy is simple, robust with fast dynamic response.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116238473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper the working of Kalman and its implementation in IMM is discussed along with equations in terms of time intervals t, t-1, t+1. Simulation tests were carried out and performance of IMM and KF is compared on the basis of estimation error plots. Tests are carried out on two different trajectories. KF is applied with Constant acceleration and constant velocity separately. Results indicate that KF models are not good in tracking and gives larger error rate. KF is cost effective when it comes to computations but when it comes to sensitivity of tracking, IMM is preferred to avoid error and incorrect estimates.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130279673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the increasing demands of cloud services and applications, it has also presented that the amount of data being generated is increasing at an alarming rate. This increase in data rate brings with itself several problems related to network management, primary of which constitutes of routing elephant flows alongside mice flows and utilizing all the available resources. Conventional DCN approaches are not up to par with the current amount of data being transmitted in a data center network as most DCN use Equal Cost Multipath protocol (ECMP) which though performs well, however is unable to utilize all the resources. This is mainly due to the selection of shortest path based on available links and selecting the best one. This though helping in network transmission, also presents the issue of under-utilization of spare links. Considering this, Software Defined Network (SDN) is a current network paradigm which can be implemented in a DCN network to make the management of a network easier. This paper presents the Real-Time Multipath Transmission Protocol (RMTP) which makes use of SDN for the regulation of multiple paths in DCN. The proposed RMTP would select the best path in a DCN and send majority of elephant flows on that link. The other remaining links will also be utilized in parallel to transmit the remainder of the data. RMTP was evaluated in an SDN emulated environment and compared against existing DCN protocols. The paper shows that RMPT improves the transmission of big data in terms of throughput, packet loss and throughput during link failure by more than 50%.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129611656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several techniques have been applied and investigated for wireless channel estimation but each of them has its own limitations. The major drawback in current channel estimation techniques is that a large pilot overhead is needed to yield a satisfactory performance which reduces the spectral efficiency. To overcome this shortcoming, we suggest a method of data aided channel estimation which minimizes the pilot overhead without compromising the quality of channel estimation in OFDM systems. The proposed technique is based on reliable data carrier's selection algorithm in which reliable data carriers are used as virtual pilots, thus eliminating the need for additional pilots. Simulation results show a significant improvement in terms of mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126786423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In past different face recognition techniques have been introduced like Fisherfaces, Eigenfaces, and LBPH. These methods have low accuracy, so neural networks are used. The deep learning based neural networks are the most accurate. The parameters of the network can be tuned to achieve high accuracy. Face recognition requires a data base of individuals to train a neural network using deep learning. The trained network is then capable of recognition. The framework of the facial recognition process using transfer learning of the pre-trained neural network is described in this paper. We have used AlexNet for recognition which is a pre-trained convolutional neural network. Transfer learning of this pre-trained network has given accuracy of 97.95%. It can be used to classify 1000 different people. For recognition purpose, it requires a large database at least one thousand images per class.

Consumers are encouraged to install LED lights, inverter based split air conditioners and energy efficient fans to reduce the electricity consumption. Besides electricity conservation, solar photovoltaic power systems are also widely installed to reduce the utility bills and grid dependency. Often both retrofitting and solar system are considered to implement simultaneously but consumers perceive it expensive and financially nonviable. This study is based on financial analysis of solar power system for a public institute. It includes comparison of two solar systems; one for existing load of institute and the other for retrofitted load. The study concludes that solar system for retrofitted load is economic and it also increases the distribution capacity of the existing electrical network. Installation of solar system on retrofitted load reduces the energy drawn from grid, likewise energy bills and stress on distribution and transmission lines.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129030046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multi-objective Fitness Function is designed in bullet-physics engine which reinforces learning of sinusoidal curve in snake and also reinforces forward motion in it.

It cannot be achieved by a single user owing to multipath fading and shadowing effect. Therefore, more than one user is required to accurately sense the spectrum availability as in Cooperative Spectrum Sensing. All sensing statistics are collected at Fusion Center (FC) from cooperative users and FC combines them to reach to a common global decision. As these users are far apart from each other, therefore they experience different channel conditions. So, it is necessary to deal with the incoming data received from these Secondary Users (SU) differently. The proposed scheme of Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) intelligently finds optimum weighting coefficients against cooperative users' information and utilizes these weights in the global decision of the Soft Decision Fusion (SDF). This scheme is able to find optimum weights that lead to minimum false alarm, high detection and minimum error probability. The system is simulated for different numbers of the cooperative users and Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) that shows better sensing performance of the proposed FPA based scheme against the Differential Evolution (DE), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Maximum Gain Combination (MGC), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Count techniques.","PeriodicalId":111615,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Electrical, Communication, and Computer Engineering (ICECCE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116935224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
