Generally, these tasks remain challenging for the artificial machines due to the need of pre-learning phase in which the machine acquires an intelligent brain. Some researchers have shown that deep learning tools work well in computer vision, image processing, and pattern recognition. To solve such tasks, this paper focuses on deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and its architectures, such as, VGG16, VGG19, AlexNet, and Resnet50. An overview for the techniques and schemes used for computer vision applications such as Road Sign Recognition will be introduced. Then by customizing the hyperparameters for each pre-trained models, we re-implement these models for the traffic sign recognition application. In the experiments, these pre-trained CNN classifiers are trained and tested with the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark dataset (GTSRB). Experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieved a good performance results in terms of evaluations metrics of traffic signs recognition. A performance comparison analysis between the selected pre-trained models for traffic sign recognition confirmed that the AlexNet model outperforms all other implemented models.","PeriodicalId":6799,"journal":{"name":"2021 18th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"73 1","pages":"23-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89430000","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}

However, under unbalanced grid faults, the VSI may disconnect from the grid, which leads to stability problems due to the lack of active power after the fault extinction. To enhance the inverter's fault ride through (FRT) capability i.e., it remains connected to the grid as requested by the grid codes, two flexible control strategies have been developed in the last years. They are named flexible oscillating-power control (FOPC) and voltage-support-oriented control (VSOC). This paper proposes generalized expressions of active and reactive powers' references under faulty conditions to satisfy the grid codes' requirements and limit the current injected by the inverter to the rated value. Numerical simulations are performed to evaluate the performances of the two flexible control strategies along with the proposed current limitation method.","PeriodicalId":6799,"journal":{"name":"2021 18th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89830062","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 main objective of this work is to propose a low-cost (PWPS) without the use of chemical energy storage. A complete simulation model is developed using MATLAB/Simulink.

This has leaded to an increasing interest in exploiting appropriate specialty fibers for supporting robust OAM channels. In this work, we propose a novel inner graded ring core fiber referred to as inverse Gaussian fiber (IGF). To the best of our knowledge, IGF has never been used as optical fiber profile before. We optimize IGF key parameters in order to design optimized IG-few mode fibers (FMF) supporting low radial modes with high intermodal separation that outperforms those reported in literature (minimum of $Delta n_{text{eff}}=2.74times 10^{-4}$), this limits mode coupling and reduces channels crosstalk. We investigate the impacts of smoothness parameters ($alpha$ & $P$) on the properties of OAM channels in the IG-FMFs. We evaluate and compare (with literature) their intermodal separation, their chromatic dispersion, and their associated differential group delay over the C+L ITU-T bands. The selected designs are proposed as favorable candidate to guide OAM modes in next generation OAM-MDM multiplexing optical networks.","PeriodicalId":6799,"journal":{"name":"2021 18th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"110 1","pages":"480-487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77969111","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 observation of bifurcation and chaotic oscillations are analyzed for a wide range of parameters variations with the help of Lyapunov exponent, Lyapunov spectrum, and bifurcation diagram. Based on the aforementioned analysis, a robust synergetic controller design is achieved based on static synchronous compensator STATCOM and energy storage facilities to maintain the load bus voltage at the rated level and restore the synchronous operation.

Translation within two axes and rotation about the normal increases the immediate capability of said rovers and allows fluid maneuvers when presented with problematic trajectories. With the mentioned capability, omni-rovers are an ideal candidate for use in mobile manipulators (MM), and furthermore, cooperative robotics. Thus, in this article, the forward kinematics of an omni-rover platform in junction with a two degree of freedom (RR) arm is presented. Additionally, the inverse kinematics of two parallel robots carrying a rigid object are modeled, simulated, and examined. As the inverse kinematics becomes increasingly difficult to model as the degrees of freedom increase, a known method for reducing the model is used to simplify the solution; this being the use of the Groebner Bases.","PeriodicalId":6799,"journal":{"name":"2021 18th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"61 1","pages":"771-776"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85222312","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}

Although there exist numerous studies on RNN problem, most of the existing algorithms for RNN works on a single database. In contrast to the existing approaches, we propose a Decomposable Reverse Nearest Neighbor Algorithm (DRNNA), which computes RNN in a high dimensional space across distributed databases. DRNNA helps in minimizing the amount of data transferred between sites and hence provides data privacy and security for each site. Our approach aims to achieve valid results through minimum information disclosure. The data privacy at individual sites are preserved as our approach requires only minimal transmission of information between sites. Only a minimal count of higher-level summaries is exchanged for performing computations and therefore an intruder cannot obtain the actual data tuples even if they try to capture the exchanged summaries. The simulation results prove that the algorithm can correctly find the RNN set for a given point.","PeriodicalId":6799,"journal":{"name":"2021 18th International Multi-Conference on Systems, Signals & Devices (SSD)","volume":"12 1","pages":"681-686"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85248265","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}
