Based on the desired boost-mode operation of the converter, the average state-space model has been derived from the basic circuit equations. Equilibrium points of operation of the converter have been obtained from the state-space model. As the converter is intended for use as a voltage source for an inverter, the requirement of maintaining a constant DC voltage at its output becomes a necessary criterion. Two feedback schemes for controlling the output voltage in closed-loop have been designed. Their performances have been compared by simulation studies. Some experimental studies on the converter operating in open-loop have been made and results obtained in the boost-mode of operation.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

The problem we are tackling is connected with the verification of dimensional specifications of filter components in a manufacturing line. Our proposed method consists of acquiring range images of the same object's region from known, different viewpoints and use this information to calibrate camera parameters. Calibration errors can then be used to reason about actual physical dimensions and compare these with given specifications. We are investigating a correspondenceless method because the establishment of point to point correspondences between real images is a truly challenging task. Our proposed algorithm is based on geometric properties of image points which can be defined as invariants uniquely determined by the specific rigid transformation. The same invariants are also defined for a small subset of data, providing that the subset contains at least three data points. The algorithm is based on computing two sets of possible transformation parameters using different subsets of image data. The algorithm makes full use of rigid geometric constraints of image points synthesised into a single coordinate system and provides a closed form solution to all parameters of interest. We also implemented another well known correspondenceless calibration algorithm based on the scatter matrix. Experimental results have shown that the proposed algorithm is generally more accurate than the scatter matrix based algorithm and that it can be effectively used in the context of the described industrial inspection task.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

That is, to separate out all the objects in the video into distinct video object planes (VOPs) and generate a layered bit-stream wherein each bit-stream corresponds to an individual object plane in the video. This work aspires towards the above goals. It is in synchrony with the targets of MPEG-4. We propose a general and robust algorithm for segmentation. Our algorithm does not assume any prior modelling of the objects being segmented, further, the bit rate generated is low as compression is achieved at two levels. Firstly, only the regions of the image that change across frames are coded and transmitted. Secondly, the extracted portion of the image is compressed using a flexible variation of DCT coding called shape-adaptive DCT. Typically, in video-conferencing applications wherein the goal is to minimise the transmission bandwidth, this algorithm produces very desirable results.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.

This controller uses proportional plus integral type adaptation to satisfy the hyperstability conditions for taking care of parameter changes of the system. The stabilization signals are synthesized at the excitation input of each machine such that desired system performance as specified in terms of reference model are satisfied. The reference model parameters are chosen to elicit a well defined closed loop performance. A guarantee of stability to the overall system is also presented. The proposed adaptive control scheme avoids the difficulty of satisfying the Erzberger's model matching conditions and the burden of implementing an online parameter estimator. Above all, the hyperstability guarantees asymptotical stability of the machines under a disturbance. Simulation results of a multi-machine power system are presented which show that the controller works well under system parameter changes and with different disturbances.","PeriodicalId":405648,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology 2000 (IEEE Cat.
