The weights used for combining the fuzzy rules are also updated, using the least mean square algorithm. The paper also demonstrates a Kalman filter for the estimation of motor parameters like speed and flux vector position. The estimation is ensured to be robust even in the presence of arbitrary fluctuation of the input line currents. The modified Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) rejects the outliers in real-time, thereby eliminating the need for manual intervention in tuning the parameters of the EKF. The stability of the controller is checked by computing the Lyapunov exponent from the evolution of the state space of direct axis current, quadrature axis current, synchronous speed; and found to be stable at all the time. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy operates robustly under modeling uncertainty, with a good dynamic performance.","PeriodicalId":143947,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Power, Signals, Controls and Computation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122048967","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}

The generality of region based segmentation of real-world problems in the light of regions has made it popular for large range of images. However in the prior methods, the computational effort increases as the complexity of the problem increases. This paper is based on an efficient graph theoretical approach. A maximal planar graph is constructed from the region segmented image. Primary advantage of this approach is one can naively analyze the resulting graph and determine the number and position of a particular object in the region of interest.

Correct and timely diagnosis is a critical, yet essential requirement of medical science. From the literature, it is found that modern technology also fails in lot of cases to diagnose disease correctly. The attempt is being made to explore the area of diagnosis from different perspectives. The approach used is a combination of ancestor's technology Iridodiagnosis with modern technology. Iridodiagnosis is an alternative branch of medical science, which can be used for diagnostic purposes. To begin with a database is created of eye images with clinical history of subject's emphasis on diabetic (type II) disease in pathological laboratory. The various algorithms are developed for image quality assessment, segmentation of iris, iris normalization and clinical feature classification for clinical diagnosis. The artificial neural network is used for training and classification purpose. The entire process shows classification accuracy of 90 ~ 92 percent between diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. A significant improvement is demonstrated in classification performance over the existing approaches. This approach will be useful in the diagnosis field which is faster, user friendly and less time consuming.","PeriodicalId":143947,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Power, Signals, Controls and Computation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132993852","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}

Backstepping is a realistic nonlinear control design algorithm based on Lyapunov design approach, as a consequence it automatically ensures the convergence of the regulated variable to zero. Adaptation schemes are designed to estimate the inertia variation and load disturbance in the motion control systems. Integral action is being used to enhance the control action of the controller in steady state against the disturbances. We explore the concept of continuous switching function in parameter update law to ensure the robustness of the adaptive design. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm has been demonstrated in simulation studies. The controller design has been evaluated not only for the tracking performance but also for the parameters convergence rate of the system. It is quite interesting to note that during the simulation it does not require any prior information about the parameters of the mathematical model of the motion control system.","PeriodicalId":143947,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Power, Signals, Controls and Computation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129073655","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}

The term wire means metallic, highly conducting, solid or tubular electrically thin wires, i.e. wires with diameter very small compared to the length of the wire and the wavelength of an incident plane wave. When the wire element is excited at one or more electrically small regions along the length, it behaves as a transmitting antenna. The accurate solution of the antenna characteristics can be obtained from the surface current, which can be obtained from Maxwell's equation subject to boundary conditions. This result an integral equation of current which can be solved using numerical method. The numerical methods are so simple and it can be applicable to many configurations. In this work a moment based numerical technique which consists of expanding the unknown quantity in to a series with unknown coefficients. The expansion is introduced in the integral equations and a testing procedure is performed and that has been used to evaluate the current distribution. First theoretical analysis with appropriate derivations are presented. Then a Matlab code to model the current distribution is developed. The algorithm to evaluate integral is based on moment method and Pocklington's equations. Length of the wire is taken as 0.47λ and area of cross-section as 0.005λ.
