Time modulation (TM) is applied into uniformly excited linear array of half wave dipole radiators to generate low side-lobe sum and difference patterns at the center frequency and first sideband respectively while the maximum power level at the higher sidebands are suppressed significantly by optimizing the periodical on-off switching instants of the antenna elements by using fire-fly algorithm (FA). The FA optimized pattern as realized in MATLAB platform is validated by designing the uniformly excited time modulated linear array (UE-TMLA) in CST-MWS with the same on-time sequence as obtained by using FA and the patterns are compared.","PeriodicalId":265072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Students' Technology Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116484147","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 paper examines the long distance optical link up to 4000 km in the presence of Kerr nonlinearity using various modulation formats using three dispersion compensation schemes at different transmission distances. Here comparative analysis is carried out for the 40 Gbps long haul optical link using carrier-suppressed return to zero (CSRZ), modified duo binary return to zero (MDRZ) and differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation formats. The effect of change in the input power and transmission distance is observed in terms of Q value, BER and eye opening of various formats. It is observed that the performance of the system is greatly deteriorated by the Chromatic Dispersion and DPSK modulation format comes out to be the best choice for the long distance transmission up to 4000 km and beyond. Also the pre, post and symmetrical analysis is also carried out for all three modulation formats and optimum results are achieved with the symmetric configuration.","PeriodicalId":265072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Students' Technology Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125802328","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}

Most of the state-of-art image compression techniques are spatial based. In this paper, a histogram based image compression technique is proposed based on multi-level image thresholding. The gray scale of the image is divided into crisp group of probabilistic partition. Shannon's Entropy is used to measure the randomness of the crisp grouping. The entropy function is maximized using a popular metaheuristic named Differential Evolution to reduce the computational time and standard deviation of optimized objective value. Some images from popular image database of UC Berkeley and CMU are used as benchmark images. Important image quality metrics-PSNR, WPSNR and storage size of the compressed image file are used for comparison and testing. Comparison of Shannon's entropy with Tsallis Entropy is also provided. Some specific applications of the proposed image compression algorithm are also pointed out.","PeriodicalId":265072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Students' Technology Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125624268","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 method consists of four major steps: Gaussian derivative filtering, nonlinear peak amplification, Gaussian derivative based peak finding scheme, and peak position adjustment procedure. The method is tested and validated using the standard MIT-BIR Polysomnographic database containing a wide range of ABP signals, artifacts and high-frequency noises. Our results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better peak detection performance while maintaining very small detection error rates for both clean and noisy ABP signals. The method achieves an average sensitivity of 99.89% and positive predictivity of 99.59% on test ABP datasets consisting of 67,125 beats. Unlike other existing methods, our method is quite straightforward and simple in the sense that it does not use search-back algorithms with secondary thresholds.","PeriodicalId":265072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Students' Technology Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133852834","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 paper proposes a novel method for temporal error concealment. The change from one frame to the next frame is modelled as an affine transformation and Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm is used to find correspondence between present and past frame. The set of matching points between the two frames is used to find an affine transformation. Random Sample and Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is used to effectively remove outliers. The past frame is then affine transformed using the transformation matrix obtained. Corrupted regions are concealed using Temporal Replacement (TR) in the current frame with the transformed past frame as reference. Experimental results established the efficacy of the proposed algorithm over other temporal error concealment scheme in terms of both objective and subjective measurements.","PeriodicalId":265072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Students' Technology Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121784225","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}

Junction point distortion is a major imperfection in thinned images especially for handwritten Indian scripts due to the presence of large number of complicated junctions in them. Such distortion does allow the optical character recognition (OCR) systems to exploit the properties of these junctions for character recognition. We present a novel methodology to reduce distortion at junction regions adjoining the matra for BangIa script. Our method uses geometric properties of the junctions to solve the problem. We have tested our approach on our own data set consisting of a variety of isolated handwritten character images by different writers and have got promising results.","PeriodicalId":265072,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 IEEE Students' Technology Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127911585","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}
