They give techniques for analyzing, organizing, processing and searching through million images uploaded daily in the internet. For that reason, searching is the most critical process in CBIR. It should be accurate and complete in reasonable amount of time. Proper metadata should be extracted from the images and used to meet the performance requirements. From the other hand, to meet the subsequent processing this metadata should be indexed and stored in appropriate way.This paper describes some of the most popular image extraction and analysis systems known as Content Based Image Retrieval Systems (CBIR). It reveals how examined different CBIR systems work and how closer are generated similarity results. At the end, information is summarized, and conclusions are made regarding existing solutions and methods used in these applications.","PeriodicalId":304248,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th Conference on Electrical Machines, Drives and Power Systems (ELMA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114291067","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 basic logic gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, NOT) and combinational logic (decoder and multiplexer) are modeled as analog devices, with inputs and outputs. Each input is represented with a 1 MΩ resistor, and each output is a nonlinear dependent source, both connected to ground. The logic of the dependent source is implemented using SPICE’ conditional logic. To improve the traceability of the logic circuit, each input/output socket has a corresponding virtual light emitting diode, which visualizes its state – digital one or digital zero.","PeriodicalId":304248,"journal":{"name":"2019 16th Conference on Electrical Machines, Drives and Power Systems (ELMA)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123896735","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 proposed generic VPP consisting of four basic components: dispatchable power plant(s), flexible load(s), storage unit(s), and stochastic generating unit(s); was illustrated.
