Contemporary hardware accelerators are implemented by using either Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or System-on-Chip (SoC) devices. Edge detection is a fundamental task for any image processing system. In this paper, a pipelined architecture for a fuzzy logic edge detection system is proposed. The system has been implemented and tested on various Xilinx 7 Series devices. The hardware accelerator core utilizes a pipeline of seven stages. Depending on the available resources the accelerator system can be made up of several cores operating simultaneously. A single-core implementation of the system can process a 1080P HD test frame at a rate of about 45 frames per second. It outperforms its software counterpart by a factor of ten thousand.","PeriodicalId":175830,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 24th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems (INES)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126168345","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}

First, to provide an environment where the controllers can be tuned and compared, a nonlinear model has been developed, then a linear state-space representation of the system has been derived. Besides tracking of a reference signal with high accuracy, the control design must consider the limitations of a typical, commercial actuator control unit, in particular real-time applicability. To achieve the controlling aims, a symmetric, optimum based, cascaded PID, a Linear Quadratic Regulator, a Linear Quadratic Gaussian controller, and a Model Predictive Controller have been developed. Three of the four developed methods can meet the given requirements. However, there are significant differences regarding the run-time of the algorithms.","PeriodicalId":175830,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 24th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems (INES)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122901058","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, wearable low-cost fall detection and alarming system for the elderly has been proposed. a novel approach has been used to reduce the false-positive fall alarm. The user motion tracked using a sophisticated orientation detection module to detect user orientation in different output forms. In case of any abnormal orientation data values of the user, the system will send an alarm message via Wi-Fi and GSM to the caretaker. The system design considers a simple and low-cost design with acceptable power consumption rate. The system consists of a Wi-Fi-based microcontroller, and two orientation detection modules, and a GSM module. The system is designed for the user to wear in the waistline by installing it with the waist belt.

Being a repetitive and standardised operation, rivet inspection is a good candidate for the automated process. On the other hand, since a high level of precision and accuracy is required so the human intervention is still predominant. This paper describes a robotic system that is able to automatically perform this kind of inspection and can indicate the status of rivets, thanks to a novel multi-sensor analysis method. The detection system, that is located on a crawler robot, consists of a camera, a laser scan and a micro-hammering system to detect the acoustic response of an exciting mechanical pulse. The collected data are processed and an analysis of the rivets’s status is performed. The work, here reported, illustrates the details of the above described method and the experimental results obtained with a preliminary prototype used as a proof of concept.","PeriodicalId":175830,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 24th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems (INES)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133197427","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}

However, the state spaces of the Petri net models of real-life discrete-event systems are enormous. Thus, model checking of these systems takes too much time, if it is possible at all. Therefore, static slicing of Petri nets is proposed in the literature to reduce a Petri net into a smaller size on which model checking becomes possible. However, this paper finds some fundamental problems in the idea of static slicing of Petri nets: 1) Most of the algorithms given in the literature for slicing do not work for real-life discrete-event systems. 2) The idea that the smaller the Petri net (obtained by slicing), the better for model checking is fundamentally wrong. As this paper shows, removal of places can be harmful as it can cause larger state spaces than the original ones. This paper proposes four hypotheses for devising newer slicing algorithms that can work on Petri net models of real-life systems too.","PeriodicalId":175830,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 24th International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems (INES)","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124510811","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}
