An Efficient SVD-Based Method for Image Denoising Abstract? Nonlocal self-similarity of images has attracted considerable interest in the ?eld of image processing and led to several state-of-the-art image denoising algorithms, such as BM3D, LPG-PCA, PLOWand SAIST. In this paper, we propose a computationally simple denoising algorithm by using the nonlocal self-similarity and the low-rank approximation….

A two-step optimization technique for designing a recon?gurable VLSI architecture of an interpolation ?lter for multistandard digital up converter (DUC) to reduce the power and area…
An Energy-Balanced Routing Method Based on Forward-Aware Factor for Wireless Sensor Networks Abstract? As an important part of industrial application (IA), the wireless sensor network (WSN) has been an active research area over the past few years. Due to the limited energy and communication ability of sensor nodes, it seems especially important to design a…
An Energy-Ef?cient Mobile-Sink Path Selection Strategy for Wireless Sensor Networks Abstract? Several studies have demonstrated the bene?ts of using a mobile sink to reduce the energy consumption of nodes and to prevent the formation of energy holes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). However, these bene?ts are dependent on the path taken by the mobile sink,…

An Enhanced K-Means and ANOVA-Based Clustering Approach for Similarity Aggregation in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks Abstract? Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) have recently been proposed as a way to observe and explore aquatic environments. Sensors in such networks are used to perform pollution monitoring, disaster prevention, or assisted navigation and to send monitored data to…
An equalised global graphical model-based approach for multi-camera object tracking Abstract? Multi-camera non-overlapping visual object tracking system typically consists of two tasks: single camera object tracking and inter-camera object tracking. Since the state-of-theart approaches are yet not perform perfectly in real scenes, the errors in single camera object tracking module would propagate into the module…

An Improved Direct AC?AC Converter for Voltage Sag Mitigation Abstract? An Improved Direct AC?AC Converter for Voltage Sag Mitigation. Dynamic voltage restorer < Final Year Projects 2016 > is a definitive solution toward compensation of voltage sag with phase jump. Conventional DVR topologies, however, have dc links and two-stage power conversions. This increases its size,…
An Improved MPPT Controller for Photovoltaic System Under Partial Shading Condition Abstract? Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an integral part of a system of energy conversion using photovoltaic (PV) arrays. The power-voltage characteristic of PV arrays operating under partial shading conditions exhibits multiple local maximum power points (LMPPs). In this paper, a new method…
An Incremental and Distributed Inference Method for Large-Scale Ontologies Based on MapReduce Paradigm Abstract?With the upcoming data deluge of semantic data, the fast growth of ontology bases has brought significant challenges in performing efficient and scalable reasoning. Traditional centralized reasoning methods are not sufficient to process large ontologies. Distributed reasoning methods are thus required to…
An Integrated Semantic Web Service Discovery and Composition Framework Abstract? An Integrated Semantic Web Service Discovery and Composition Framework. A theoretical analysis of graph-based service composition in terms of its dependency with service discovery. Driven by this analysis we define a composition framework by means of integration with fine-grained I/O service discovery that enables the…
