In particular, our work focuses on three of the most typical defects in iron foundries: inclusions, cold laps and misruns. We propose a new approach that detects these imperfections on the surface by means of a segmentation method that flags the potential defective regions on the casting and, then, applies machine-learning techniques to classify the regions in correct or in the different types of faults. In this case, we applied BCLP technique. It provides good information to distinguish between edge structures and defects in this kind of images.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125932218","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}

Since GPS signals are denied in indoor environments, technology for accurate indoor localization is still an active on-going research topic. In this paper, we present a framework of combining smartphone sensors and iBeacons for accurate indoor localization. The Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) can be applied for localization using smartphone sensors. Unfortunately, it will drift with walking distance. Therefore, iBeacons are leveraged to correct the drift of the PDR approach. A particle filter is performed for the correction. Real experiments show a significant improvement of the localization accuracy with sparse iBeacon deployment in a 47.3m × 15.9m area. Moreover, since the estimation accuracy of the initial point is vital for the PDR approach, we evaluate the performance of our proposed approach with respect to the estimation error of the initial point. The results underline the robustness of our proposed approach for the initial point estimation error.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115252174","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 prevent a short circuit in the dc-link, a switching delay time is needed to insert into pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. Due to the dead time, the waveform of output current emerges distortion and increases total harmonic distortion (THD). Dead time compensation is necessary to optimize current distortion and reduce THD. Through analysis of dead time effect, deviations of voltage vectors caused by dead time effect are dependent on the direction of output currents. The voltage distortion increases harmonic components of output voltage and decreases control performance. Combined with the characteristics of simplified SVPWM, in order to avoid determining the direction of output currents, an approximate compensation method for dead time effect is suggested. The value of dead time is adjusted on-line by the value of corresponding phase current. The deviation of voltage vectors caused by dead time effect is directly compensated to three phase reference voltages. This dead time compensation method is suitable to multi-level DCVSI. Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the sinusoidal waveform and phase offset of the output current. The algorithm is simple to understand and easy to digital realization.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115343338","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}

Moreover, the inflation of the cuff is one of the main disturbing factors as expressed among patients. In this study, a promising approach based on changes in pulse transit time (PTT) for continuous, non-invasive and indirect measurement of BP is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of cuff-based methods. The PTT can be measured using plethysmography (PPG) waveform and the QRS peak of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal and indirectly interpreted as systolic BP. Time synchronization of the two sensors plays an important role in improving the accuracy of measurement. Therefore, it is aimed to employ a tablet-based system for collecting the wireless devices' data at a specific time. It is also our objective to include a triggering mechanism option using ambient sensors in order to start the process of data collection. Bluetooth/IEEE 802.15.4 wireless technologies will be used for real-time sensing and time synchronization. We have found that the proposed indirect measurement of BP can provide continuous information of the BP in a more convenient way from the patients' point of view. Moreover, the result of our indirect measurement of BP indicates that there are some short term fluctuations in the BP.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115356564","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}

Firstly, the three-dimensional model of the robot is created with the SolidWorks software. After importing the model into ADAMS, some essential kinematic pairs are added into the movable joints.

Thus, this study presents a method of image segmentation and detection technique in human spermatozoa image using a modified Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN). As comparison to conventional PCNN, the modified PCNN is proposed with less number of parameters. Although number of parameters is reduced, the proposed method still has difficulty on choosing parameters value. So, the network is optimized with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) where a new fitness function was introduced as Mutual Information. Utilizing modified PCNN in such an application is not reported in any literature before. Besides that, this paper also applies Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) filter on sperm images to detect the centroid of human sperm heads. Qualitative and quantitative assessments show higher accuracy and precision in detecting sperm feature than current existing sperm segmentation method namely Abbiramy's method.","PeriodicalId":270660,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 10th Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129822665","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}
