The feature extraction methods that were used for segmentation are Gabor filters (GF), Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRF), run-length matrix (RLM) and co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). It was shown that the GF performed best in terms of quality of segmentation while the GLCM localises the texture boundaries better as compared to the other methods.","PeriodicalId":408446,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127707195","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}

Bireciprocal lattice wave filter (BLWDF) is utilized with the replacement of one of its branches by only a unit delay. The resulting IIR filter bank is efficiently designed as wavelet transform equivalence with approximate linear-phase filters. Suitable coefficient wordlengths representations are estimated for best selection of some prescribed performance measures. A multiplierless FPGA implementation of such IIR wavelet filter is then achieved with less complexity (1%–2%) and high operating frequency(123.885–126.88MHz).","PeriodicalId":408446,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115010670","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 SVSF is based on the Sliding Mode Control concept. It defines a hyperplane in terms of the state trajectory and then applies a discontinuous corrective action that forces the estimate to go back and forth across that hyperplane. The SVSF is suitable for fault detection and identification applications because of its stability and robustness in modeling uncertainties. The SVSF has two indicators of performance; the a posteriori output error and the chattering. The latter — as a signal-contains the system's information which is proven and explored in this paper. The SVSF is applied for the identification of pneumatic systems in order to verify the proposed method. Furthermore, the proposed method is compared with neural network and the results reveal that SVSF is better in identifying nonlinear systems.","PeriodicalId":408446,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115356740","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 role of humidity, in characterizing electric field distribution over the dusty shed of such insulator, is illustrated via Finite Element approach. A 2D model for a real long-rod composite insulator is constructed. The model is built to simulate composite insulator in clean and polluted conditions. The maximum field is computed for several dielectric constants according to the humidity of the surrounding air. The change in the restricted angle, between the incident and refracted field lines at the shed/dust boundary, is used as an indicator for the field stress variation in this interfacing area. The impact of applied voltage on the stress distribution is also investigated. Finally, the difference in field between clean and dusty composite insulators is illustrated for a number of permittivities.","PeriodicalId":408446,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127018753","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}

We will show that these programs are Turing complete, thus allowing the same arbitrarily complex conversions which are possible with Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) or the C programming language. In addition, we describe the components of a prototypical implementation in form of a validator, a data converter and a data generator. In combination with a data editor, parts of our prototypical implementation are already employed in several use cases in the industry to transform data between different formats.","PeriodicalId":408446,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122430360","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}
