A smart traffic light takes into account the natural flow of traffic which results in a certain traffic rhythm. With this in mind, the smart traffic light control system as part of a cyber-physical system will have an important impact on the quality of urban living in cities. Therefore, the smart traffic light project also focuses on the requirements for using sensors, actuators, and communication technologies to calculate the arrival time of vehicles at a traffic light at a road intersection by monitoring the actual speed of the vehicles. Based on this calculation, it is assumed that the vehicles will arrive on time at the traffic light when it has changed from its red phase to the green phase.","PeriodicalId":415614,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126328179","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 achieve multi-target tracking, this paper proposes an occlusion-based method of fish tracking based on water quality testing platform. We systematically derive a theoretical model of real fish occlusion tracking, imaginary fish occlusion tracking, and real and imaginary fish concurrent occlusion tracing based on the following methods: the plan mirror imaging principle, and basic techniques of image processing such as target segmentation. Using this model, we aim to achieve 3D fish tracking without occlusion, fulfilling the requirements beforehand for fish target behavior analysis.

Various types of pulse width modulation (PWM) methods are generated by using the offset voltage, changing slope of carrier waveform, and adjusting the free parameters in the modulation algorithm. The proposed method is equivalent to the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for two-level and three-level voltage source inverter (VSI). This paper also presents a new viewpoint to understand the matrix converter modulation method such as single carrier based modulation technique for two-level VSI and double carrier based modulation technique for three-level VSI. Using the proposed method, this paper presents discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM) for the matrix converter. Therefore, a unified simple algorithm suitable for the digital implementation of all continuous and discontinuous PWM strategies is proposed. The feasibility of the proposed modulation method has been verified by a computer simulation results. These results show that the proposed carrier-based modulation method can be implemented easily without any tables.","PeriodicalId":415614,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"121 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124517139","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}

Supporting the scalability as well as satisfying QoS of demanding applications represent one of the main properties in urban environments. However, supporting applications and services in a such complex, distributed, large and diverse environment as well as building-up a wireless network in such environment that satisfies the scalability and QoS properties is a very hard task. In this paper, we propose an efficient scalable-QoS hierarchical topology management-based scheme in large scale network that supports and satisfies the urban environment properties. Our scheme consists of two hierarchical levels based on the combination between the clustering and virtual backbone techniques for large scale MANETs. In the first level, we propose an efficient weight based clustering approach which considers a trade-off between QoS requirements of multimedia services like bandwidth and link quality as well as the clustering metrics such as node (trust, density, mobility and energy). Whilst in the second level, we are based on connected dominating set algorithm to build the virtual backbone. The main purposes of our proposed scheme are: to support the network scalability when network size increases (thousands of nodes), supports the multimedia services with multimedia services QoS satisfaction. Simulation results have shown that our scheme performs generally better than the other topology management schemes.","PeriodicalId":415614,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131421917","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}

In our method, we apply adaptive thresholding filter to preprocessing step for image enhancement under various conditions, and then to find the location and characters of license plate at the same time we apply improved single pass Connected Component Labeling and regio property function that compared with other methods is fast and accurate.

In order to verify and demonstrate the wave propagation of a GBC TL, a 120 mm long 50 Ω TL was fabricated and tested. Performance of the single GBC TL was then compared to the conventional microstrip TL, analyzing the matching and wave propagation results. To investigate the unwanted coupling that may occur in a feed network, a similar GBC and a conventional microstrip TL, as well as two parallel GBC TLs on the same substrates were separately manufactured and tested to complete the study. It is shown that GBC TLs support the wave propagation in a fashion similar to the microstrip TL with an attenuation of less then 3.0 dB up to 7 GHz. Also the measurements of the near-end coupling showed that the two parallel GBC TLs have fairly good isolation in the frequency band of 4.5 KHz to 8.5 GHz, whereas the far-end coupling exhibits similar properties to that of the parallel microstrip TLs with same distance between them. The results demonstrated that GBC TLs could hence be a potential candidate for the feed network for planar antenna arrays.","PeriodicalId":415614,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Electro/Information Technology (EIT)","volume":"535 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123910680","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}
