Feature Extraction Using Sequential Cumulative Bin And Overlap Mean Intensity Foriris Classification, Ahmad Nazri Ali, Shahrel Azmin Suandi, Mohd Zaid Abdullah
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper examines an approach generalizing a variant of the local binary pattern (LBP) method for iris feature extraction. The proposed method employs two different LBP variants called the sequential cumulative bin and overlap mean intensity for projecting the one-dimensional local iris textures into a binary bit pattern. The assigned bit, either 1 or 0 as a bit code, replaces the original intensity value using a specific condition for the respective reference element. The ratio value from the total transition of 1 to 0 along the row axis represents the feature of each iris image. The extraction only utilizes a …

Bvire Improved Algorithm For Indoor Localization Based On Rfid And A Linearregression Model, Noor Bahaaldin, Ergun Erçelebi̇
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Traditional indoor location technologies such as infrared technology and ultrasonic technology are complex, expensive, or having unsatisfactory location accuracy. Radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies are very popular in many areas since their costs are very low. The tag in such technologies acts as the transmitter, and the radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) information is measured at the reader. However, RSSI information suffers strictly from the multipath circumstance and circumferential elements. Therefore, the localization accuracy of the boundary will be affected severely. In order to solve this problem, we introduce the boundary virtual reference label (BVIRE) algorithm to well utilize RFID …
Sar Image Time-Series Analysis Framework Using Morphological Operators And Global And Local Information-Based Linear Discriminant Analysis, Ufuk Sakarya, Caner Demi̇rpolat
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Fusion of spectral, spatial, and temporal information is an effective method used in many satellite remote sensing applications. On the other hand, one drawback of this fusion is an increase in complexity. In this paper, we focus on developing a fast and well-performed classification method for agricultural crops using time-series SAR data. In order to achieve this, a novel two-stage approach is proposed. In the first stage, a high-dimensional feature space is obtained using time-series dual-pol SAR data and morphological operators. Spectral, spatial, and temporal information is combined into a single high-dimensional feature space. In the second stage, a dimension …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Usage of switch mode power supplies (SMPS) has been increased tremendously in recent years due to their advantages compared to conventional ones. In spite of their advantages, SMPSs cause conducted and radiated emissions due to the fact that they switch on and off at specific frequencies. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters are mostly preferred equipment for the reduction of conducted emission for coupled circuits. Improved EMI filter in the literature to suppress both common and differential mode noises sourced by ATX (a sample of SMPS) power supply has been proposed. A proposed filter was designed by use of AWR Microwave Office …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Various fault location methods have been developed in the past to identify the faulty phase, fault type, faulty section, and distance. However, this identification is commonly conducted in a separate manner. An effective fault location should be able to identify all of these at the same time. Therefore, in this work, a method using a support vector machine (SVM) to identify the fault type, faulty section, and distance considering the faulty phase is proposed. The proposed method uses voltage sag magnitude of the distribution system as the main feature for the SVM to identify faults. The fault type is classified …

Controlling The Speed And Flux Of A Dual Stator Winding Induction Motor Using An Emotional Intelligent Controller And Integration Algorithm, Hojat Moayedirad, Mohammad Ali Shamsi Nejad
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The appropriate efficiency of a dual stator winding squirrel-cage induction motor (DSWIM) is obtained when the ratio of two frequencies feeding the machine is equal to the ratio of the number of poles. In the vector control method, the estimation of flux at low speed is difficult. To solve this problem, researchers have benefited from the free capacity of the two windings of the stator. This makes the motor deviate from its standard operating mode at low speed. The main purpose of the present study is to reduce the power losses of the inverter units in the sensorless DSWIM drive …

A Frequency-Tuned Magnetic Resonance-Based Wireless Power Transfer System With Near-Constant Efficiency Up To 24 Cm Distance, Seyi̇t Ahmet Si̇s, Selçuk Kavut
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In magnetic resonance-based wireless power transfer systems, the main challenge arises from varying distances between coils during power transfer because distance variations ultimately reduce the power transfer efficiency. Frequency-tuned wireless power transfer systems provide an almost-constant output power to the load up to a critical coupling distance. However, the critical coupling distance and power transfer efficiency are dependent on coil size, source, and load resistances. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this dependency with an equivalent circuit model, determine a suitable coil size for given design specifications, and set up a frequency-tuned system that is based on tracking …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a sensorless speed and armature resistance and temperature estimator for brushed (B) DC machines is proposed, based on a cascade-forward neural network and quasi-Newton BFGS backpropagation. Since we wish to avoid the use of a thermal sensor, a thermal model is needed to estimate the temperature of the BDC machine. Previous studies propose either nonintelligent estimators that depend on the model, such as the extended Kalman filter and Luenberger's observer, or estimators that do not estimate the speed, temperature, and resistance simultaneously. The proposed method has been verified both by simulation and by comparison with the simulation …

As brushless DC motor (BLDCM) speed approaches base speed, current regulators gradually saturate and lose their ability to perform their regulating task, which causes a dramatic fall in the phase currents and motor power. To control the current to a greater extent and avoid power decline, a new reference current generation technique based on a simple fuzzy logic estimator (FLE) is introduced in this paper. According to motor speed and current command, the developed FLE decides the proper commutation angle $\alpha $, which is the angle relative to normal commutation instant used for setting the current slew rate during commutation. …
