We assume a network of radars: for a given cell under test only a subset of the radars receives ECM signals. Training data containing thermal noise, clutter, and noise-like interferers are available. The problem at hand is solved resorting to a two-stage detection strategy: first, the subset of radars under ECM is estimated; then, a proper detection strategy resorting to W-ABORT based detectors for radars under ECM is implemented. The performance assessment shows that the proposed solution is effective in presence of ECM systems.","PeriodicalId":339652,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Innovations in Intelligent Systems and Applications (INISTA) Proceedings","volume":"291 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134563820","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}

A scheme of automatic image registration based on plain objects detection and recognition in remote sensing tasks is presented in this paper. It relates to the concept of plain object in image and includes three subsystems. A subsystem of plain objects detection in image is based on a new method of plain objects detection in image. It relates to the land use classification process, different image segmentation methods and depends on the particular application. A subsystem of conjugate plain objects determination relate to a new method of plain objects recognition in images by shape based on stochastic geometry. It is invariant with respect to projective distortions. A subsystem of image registration determines an optimal geometric transformation and register given input images based on it. This paper reviews existing methods of image registration and emphasizes parametric, non-parametric and hybrid image registration techniques. Experimental results confirm the efficiency of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":339652,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Innovations in Intelligent Systems and Applications (INISTA) Proceedings","volume":"136 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131549514","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}

Fault diagnosis may be interpreted as a classification problem; therefore artificial intelligence-based classifiers can be efficiently used to classify normal and faulty machine conditions.

In this paper, a new fault diagnosis method is proposed by applying Genetic Algorithm (GA) to overcome the drawback of K-means which it may be get stuck in local optima. For this purpose, the best solution of GA is chosen to be the initial point for K-means clustering. The proposed method is used in fault diagnosis of the scaled rotor-bearing system experimentally. Then the result of hybrid GA-K-means clustering is compared with classic K-means clustering.","PeriodicalId":339652,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Innovations in Intelligent Systems and Applications (INISTA) Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126135086","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}
