It is widely used in military defense, video surveillance, human-computer interaction, medical diagnostics as well as in commercial fields such as video games. However,the general mean-shift model does not perform well when dealing with serious occlusions. In this paper, an improved mean-shift moving object detection and tracking algorithm based on segmentation and fusion mechanism is proposed in order to address the occlusion problem. Firstly, the detection algorithm detects and extracts the target by processing a rectangular target input. Secondly, the mean-shift method of segmentation solves the sheltering problem. Finally, the fusion of weights of various segmentations is used to improve the tracking speed. Through fusion, several segment's information are integrated, which provides more space information. The experiments we carried out demonstrated that, the proposed algorithm not only improved the performance in sheltered or occluded cases, while not significantly increased the computation cost.","PeriodicalId":198247,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Conference on Systems, Process & Control (ICSPC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115988809","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 availability of cheap solar modules has made it possible to harvest solar energy with better efficiency. The nature of solar modules is non linear and therefore the process of impedance matching is essential. The proper impedance matching ensures extraction of the maximum power from solar PV module. Several algorithms are reported in literature that are used to operate the DC-DC converter around Maximum Power Point (MPP). Among those algorithms off-line techniques are considered the easiest to implement. However, intermittent measurement of Short Circuit Current (SCC)/Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) results in the power loss. The decision about the measurement of SCC/OCV is often based on the irradiance/temperature sensors. In this paper we propose a modified algorithm for off-line MPPT techniques. The proposed technique decides intelligently about the measurement of SCC/OCV. The technique is modeled and simulated in Matlab/Simulink and the results shows satisfactory performance against test conditions.","PeriodicalId":198247,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Conference on Systems, Process & Control (ICSPC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128230493","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}

To fulfil this objective, a 5-Watt PV (photovoltaic) stand-alone solar module was used as solar power source and a common type lead acid battery (12V, 7AH) applied for backup system. The solar panel was connected to the battery via a charge controller which was responsible to pass the correct voltage for charging the battery and also, ensure that the battery was not overcharged. In addition, the system was designed for 22W AC and 12W DC loads. An inverter was designed for the AC loads which could convert the fixed DC voltage from battery to an AC output voltage. Finally, the entire system was tested successfully and cost evaluation also presented in the paper.

The reduction in video hardware cost has made it more feasible for large scale camera deployment. However, the increased scale of camera deployment creates difficulties for humans to track people through the monitored space and to recognize important events as they happen in timely manner without human intervention. In this paper we share the implementation of the multi node video analytics specifically focusing on intrusion detection. The system uses general purpose graphical processing unit (GPGPU) to offload the video analytics processing. The architecture of the GPGPU requires the algorithm to be coded in Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) which involves algorithm parallelization adopting both micro and macro parallelization to ensure the performance gain in processing speed on per frame basis by 7 times. In addition, we have managed to deploy 35 camera streams on single GPU card running at 20 frames per second which results in scalability factor of 1.75 times vs. a server class PC. Indeed, we have also managed to maintain the video analytics accuracy at 100% for given test dataset, in this implementation of the system.","PeriodicalId":198247,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Conference on Systems, Process & Control (ICSPC)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116545187","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}
