An End-To-End Trainable Method For Generating And Detecting Fiducial Markers, J Brennan Peace
An End-To-End Trainable Method For Generating And Detecting Fiducial Markers, J Brennan Peace
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Existing fiducial markers are designed for efficient detection and decoding. The methods are computationally efficient and capable of demonstrating impressive results, however, the markers are not explicitly designed to stand out in natural environments and their robustness is difficult to infer from relatively limited analysis. Worsening performance in challenging image capture scenarios - such as poorly exposed images, motion blur, and off-axis viewing - sheds light on their limitations. The method introduced in this work is an end-to-end trainable method for designing fiducial markers and a complimentary detector. By introducing back-propagatable marker augmentation and superimposition into training, the method learns …
Artificial Intelligent Based Energy And Demand Side Management For Microgrids And Smart Homes Considering Customer Privacy, Ahmed F. Ebrahim
Artificial Intelligent Based Energy And Demand Side Management For Microgrids And Smart Homes Considering Customer Privacy, Ahmed F. Ebrahim
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The rapid development of various power electronics applications facilitates the integration of many smart grid applications in recent years. However, integration of intermittent renewable energy sources, highly stochastic electric vehicles (EVs) activities on the grid and time-varying smart loads have increased the level of grid vulnerability to unusual and high complexity and quality-related problems. Among these problems is to accurately estimate the real contribution and consumption of household loads, in the era of smart appliances and interoperability operation, and its relative impact to the grid’s operation. Specifically, household loads represent a significant percentage of electrical energy consumption and, therefore, could …
