A flowing inviscid fluid is known to have an inherent tendency to avoid obstacles by simply moving around them. Moreover, such fluid is always capable of finding its route to the point that has the minimum potential, provided that this route exists. The proposed algorithm uses the panel method to analyse automatically the environment and generate potential flow lines of a flowing inviscid fluid. These flow lines are then used to draw a safe path for a quadrotor from its starting point to its target. The resulting path is seen to be smooth and promising for the navigation of air vehicles. Experimental indoor tests on real simple maps using AR Drone 2 quadrotor emphasize the effectiveness of the algorithm that is able to generate smooth and safe paths.","PeriodicalId":181607,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 3rd International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130566297","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 pulsed electroacoustic method enables gaining insight about breakdowns by examining the space charge distribution of the material under test. This paper proposes the matrix pencil method, a high-resolution model-based estimation method, to improve resolution of the pulsed electroacoustic method and extend its application to thin dielectrics. This method relies on the structure of the data matrix resulting from the underlying signal model representing the output of piezoelectric transducer to restore the resolution of charge distributions. Results obtained on simulated data show that the proposed method succeeds in improving the resolution to below the existing 10 µm limit.","PeriodicalId":181607,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 3rd International Multidisciplinary Conference on Engineering Technology (IMCET)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115160700","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}
