Coordinated Control of a DG and Voltage Control Devices Using a Dynamic Programming Algorithm Abstract?A new control method, in which a distributed generator (DG) actively participates in steady-state voltage control, together with an under-load tap changer (ULTC) and shunt capacitors (Sh.Cs). In the conventional DG control method, the integration of DGs into a distribution power…
Copyright Protection for E-Government Document Images Abstract?The proposed copyright protection scheme combines the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) using a control parameter to avoid the false-positive problem. In this article, we propose an efficient copyright protection scheme for e-government document images. First, we apply the discrete cosine transform (DCT) to the…
Cortical Surface Reconstruction via Unified Reeb Analysis of Geometric and Topological Outliers in Magnetic Resonance Images Abstract?we present a novel system for the automated reconstruction of cortical surfaces from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. At the core of our system is a unified Reeb analysis framework for the detection and removal of geometric and topological outliers…
Cost Optimization of Elasticity Cloud Resource Subscription Policy Abstract? In cloud computing, resource subscription is an important procedure which enables customers to elastically subscribe to IT resources based on their service requirements. Resource subscription can be divided into two categories, namely long-term reservation and on-demand subscription. Although customers need to pay the upfront fee for…
Customized Policies for Handling Partial Information in Relational Databases Abstract?Most real-world databases have at least some missing data. Today, users of such databases are ?on their own? in terms of how they manage this incompleteness. In this paper, we propose the general concept of partial information policy (PIP) operator to handle incompleteness in relational databases.<...
Data Mining for Xml Query-Answering Support Abstract? Extracting information from semistructured documents is a very hard task, and is going to become more and more critical as the amount of digital information available on the Internet grows. Indeed, documents are often so large that the data set returned as answer to a query may be…
Depth Estimation of Face Images Using the Nonlinear Least-Squares Model Abstract? we propose an efficient algorithm to reconstruct the 3D structure of a human face from one or more of its 2D images with different poses. In our algorithm, the nonlinear least-squares model is first employed to estimate the depth values of facial feature points…
Design and Simulation of Photovoltaic super system using simulink Abstract?Static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs) have been widely used for voltage support over the past decade, to improve power quality and voltage stability. However, STATCOMs are limited in their ability to improve the system stability margin due to their restricted capability for delivering real power.< Final Year...
Design of discrete fourier transform modulated filterbank with sharp transition band Abstract?The authors consider a high-performance discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-modulated finite impulse response (FIR) filter bank with sharp transition width. The design of this filter bank is very expensive by the standard method, and hence the frequency response masking (FRM) technique is developed so as…
Detecting and Locating Faulty Nodes in Smart Grids Based on High Frequency Signal Injection Abstract?An on-line method for detecting and locating a faulty node in the utility grid is proposed for smart grids. The method is based on injection of high frequency (A-Band) current signal into the grid that would impose voltages (less than 1V…
Detection and Classification of Apple Fruit Diseases using Complete Local Binary Patterns Abstract? Diseases in fruit cause devastating problem in economic losses and production in agricultural industry worldwide. In this paper, a solution for the detection and classification of apple fruit diseases is proposed and experimentally validated.< Final Year Projects > The image processing based…
Detection of Abnormalities in Retinal Images Abstract?The human eye is the organ which gives us the sense of sight. The eye reflects or emits the light to interpret the shapes, colors, and dimensions of objects in the world. Retina places a major role in the human vision system.< Final Year Projects > The retina gets…
