One of the major advances is the introduction of advanced systems for driver assistance. These assistance systems ensure continuous monitoring of the environment of the vehicle and driving mode, so early detection of potentially hazardous situation. In a critical situation, these systems warn and provide active assistance to the driver and, if necessary, they work automatically to avoid a collision or reduce the consequences of an accident. And for better decision making, these autonomous driver assistance systems advanced certainly require devices capable of performing real scenes taken from the external environment of the vehicle. Various advanced systems for driver assistance based vision are already commercially available, but they have limitations regarding the robustness and adaptability to changing lighting and visual conditions. Related to this point, this paper describe an algorithm in image processing capable of improving the quality of acquired images of the external environment, this algorithm must be integrated in a stereoscopic process that allows the reconstruction of images 3D.","PeriodicalId":147797,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Technologies, Embedded and Intelligent Systems (WITS)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125436197","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}

Indeed, we proposed a method to calibrate remotely and onsite the SEEM, where the meter is self-calibrated based on a current reference value and a voltage reference value. These references should be generated by an integrated power source. So we included in the calibration board a converter and an AC load. The converter is used to convert the voltage coming from the electrical network, which can vary, to a reference voltage which is stable and known, while the AC load is used to set the current value. The designed converter is an AC-DC-AC type, called indirect converter. To control the DC-AC block switches we used a digital technique based on the feed-forward technique. Our design of the AC-AC converter is validated by a simulation on MATLAB where we show for a variable input voltage around a nominal value, the output voltage remains stable with a very low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).","PeriodicalId":147797,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Technologies, Embedded and Intelligent Systems (WITS)","volume":"2007 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127308845","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}

For each method, the MPPT controller acts on the duty cycle of a buck converter which is associated with the MSX-60 PV module. The simulation under the PSIM software showed that the TG method is well positioned compared to the FOCV method with an efficiency difference of 3%, which leads to the conclusion that the open circuit voltage can be directly deduced by the measurement of the temperature. Despite the success of the TG method, the HC method is still the best method thanks to its simplicity and its least cost.","PeriodicalId":147797,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Technologies, Embedded and Intelligent Systems (WITS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115375217","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}

This letter describes a novel configuration of mushroom-type EBGs structures 13×2 to reduce mutual coupling between the radiating elements 2×4. Our objective is to reduce both the element separation and the mutual coupling between the patch antennas.

A poor match impedance results in less power delivered to the RFID IC and poor antenna performance that lead to poor communication between the reader and the tag. In this work, we search to match the input impedance of the planar dipole antenna for the UHF RFID (Ultra High Frequency) applications to a RFID chip at 915 MHz. To achieve this goal we have adopted the most popular method of adaptation “T-Match” which enables proper matching between the tag and the chip for maximum power transfer. HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) tool was used as a platform to design, to match, to optimize and to present the circuit and the radiation parameters of the antenna printed on a flexible substrate. The results obtained by HFSS were compared to those obtained by CST MWS (Computer Simulation Technology-MicroWaves Studio). The match between the chip and the antenna is computed in terms of the power transmission coefficient.","PeriodicalId":147797,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Wireless Technologies, Embedded and Intelligent Systems (WITS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129159673","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}
