Weighted Intensity Hue Saturation Transform For Image Enhancement Andpansharpening, Nur Hüseyi̇n Kaplan Jan 2018

Weighted Intensity Hue Saturation Transform For Image Enhancement Andpansharpening, Nur Hüseyi̇n Kaplan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a weighted intensity hue saturation transform (WIHS) is proposed for image enhancement and pansharpening. The proposed transform obtains the intensity component of the classical intensity hue saturation (IHS) transform, by weighting the bands (red, green, and blue) of the image, whereas the hue and saturation components remain unchanged. The weight for each band is determined according to the brightness interval of the corresponding band and its standard deviation. The purpose of obtaining the intensity component by weighting is to keep more information from the bands of the input image. The classical intensity component used in image processing …

Decoupled Indirect Duty Cycle Pwm Technique With Carrier Frequency Adjustmentfor A Matrix Converter, Murugesan Kullan, Senthilkumaran Mahadevan, Anitha Roseline Johnson, Ranganath Muthu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and the space vector PWM (SVPWM) switching techniques are widely used for power converters due to their ability to control the harmonic content of the output voltage. The most popular PWM techniques used in matrix converters are direct space vector modulation (DSVM) and indirect space vector modulation (ISVM). Since these techniques are complex and difficult to implement, there is demand for a PWM technique with minimum computation to operate matrix converters continuously. In this paper, decoupled indirect duty cycle (DIDC) PWM technique is proposed for the conventional matrix converter (CMC). This technique eliminates …

Outputs Bounds For Linear Systems With Repeated Input Signals: Existence,Computation And Application To Vehicle Platooning, Harun Buğra Sağlam, Klaus Werner Schmi̇dt

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper investigates the effect of repeated time-limited input signals on the output excursion of stable, linear time-invariant systems. It is first shown that the maximum norm of the output signal remains bounded if the repeated input signals are separated by a nonzero dwell time. Then a novel method for computing a tight bound on the output signal norm is proposed. The setting of the paper is motivated by a vehicle platooning application, where vehicles repeatedly open/close gaps in order to perform lane changes. The developed method analyzes driving safety by computing a bound on the spacing error between vehicles …


Model Reduction Of Discrete-Time Systems In Limited Intervals, Umair Zulfiqar, Muwahida Liaquat Jan 2018

Model Reduction Of Discrete-Time Systems In Limited Intervals, Umair Zulfiqar, Muwahida Liaquat

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Model order reduction (MOR) is a process of obtaining a lower order surrogate model that accurately approximates the original high-order system. Since no actuator or plant operates over the entire time and frequency ranges, the reduced-order model should be accurate in the actual range of operation. In this paper, model reduction techniques for discrete time systems are presented that ensure less reduction error in the specified time and frequency intervals. The techniques are tested on the benchmark numerical examples and their efficacy is shown.

The most common method for heat sinks that increases surface area uses fins. In the present study, pin- and plate-fins were compared and it was observed that, in equal surface areas, better cooling was achieved by pin-fins. Thus, the study's concentration narrowed to pin-fins and the results of different pin-fins were compared. Simulations of a sample group were conducted by using different numbers of fins, and the number of fins giving the lowest Tmax value (the highest junction point temperature) was …

Extra High Voltage Transmission Line Operation Simulation Using The Actualcorona-Loss Characteristics, Ashraf Balametov, Elman Halilov, Tarana Isayeva

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In transmission line equations with distributed parameters, corona power losses are represented as conduc- tivity, i.e. corona losses considered as a function of the line voltage squared. On the other hand, valid corona power losses are 4-8 degree functions from voltage. Therefore, extra high voltage transmission line equations with the distributed parameters have methodical errors. Methodical errors of extra high voltage transmission line operation mode parame- ters modeling are estimated. The method of modeling extra high voltage transmission line operation mode taking into account actual corona-loss characteristics is offered. The cascade-connected scheme is used for increasing the accuracy of modeling …

Resolving Namesakes Using The Author's Social Network, Ijaz Hussain, Sohail Asghar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Author name ambiguity may occur when multiple authors share the same name or different name variations of a single author exist. This degrades search results and correct attributions in bibliographic databases. Existing solutions require either the actual number of ambiguous authors or extra information that is collected from the Web. However, in many scenarios, obtaining such auxiliary information is not possible or requires much extra effort. An effective and scalable method, ASONET, is proposed that uses graph community detection algorithms and graph operations to disambiguate namesakes. The citation dataset is preprocessed and ambiguous author blocks are formed. A graph structural …

In many machine-learning applications, each data point can be represented as a set of instances that create multiple instance learning (MIL) problems. Due to the structure of images, different regions can be interpreted as instances. Thus, multiple instances can be obtained for each image, which makes image categorization a MIL problem. With abundant unlabeled image data, this MIL problem can be solved using active learning algorithms. Active learning is a framework that utilizes unlabeled data in which labeling samples is a labor-intensive and expensive task. Although many effective MIL active learning methods have been developed, most of the existing algorithms …

Choice Of Battery Energy Storage For A Hybrid Renewable Energy System, Kusum Lata Tharani, Ratna Dahiya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

There are certain unelectrified villages across the Indian subcontinent where providing supply through the grid is difficult due to forest cover or mountainous terrain. The most feasible option is to provide off-grid electrification through renewable energy resources such as solar or wind energy. These intermittent sources do not promise a 24 $\times $ 7 supply system. Thus, along with solar or wind energy systems, it becomes important to use a renewable resource, such as biomass, which is available in abundance in rural areas. The need for battery energy storage becomes mandatory in order to store the surplus energy produced by …

Design And Implementation Of A New Speed Planner For Semiautonomous Systems, Mustafa Demi̇r, Volkan Sezer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new speed planning method is developed for semiautonomous systems by improving our previous fuzzy logic-based approach. In this proposed method, an extended risk factor is calculated on top of the classical risk factor, using environmental factors and the user's speed reference. We obtain safer speed values in critical scenarios with this new extended risk factor definition. Another improvement comes from the design of the semiautonomous architecture. Instead of the fully autonomous solution of the previous work, we calculate the final speed reference by combining the risk factor-based speed value and user's speed reference, which provides a …

The proposed QRMW model represents multichannel and $2^{n}\times 2^{m}$ images. Moreover, we present image comparison and some image operations based on the QRMW model. Comparing our model with the models in the literature, the QRMW model has less time complexity. It also uses fewer qubits than existing models in the literature.


Nonintrusive Identification Of Residential Appliances Using Harmonic Analysis, Srdjan Djordjevic, Milan Simic Jan 2018

Nonintrusive Identification Of Residential Appliances Using Harmonic Analysis, Srdjan Djordjevic, Milan Simic

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The role of nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) is to identify the operating schedules of individual appliances and their power consumption from single-point electrical measurements. This paper discusses appliance load monitoring based on the harmonic analysis of the steady-state current, which is specifically suited for identification of nonlinear appliances. The existing harmonic-based NILM methods have limited applicability due to the fact that their complexity increases exponentially with the number of target appliances. In order to overcome this problem, this study suggests the use of the step changes of current harmonic phasors as a feature for appliance detection. The key benefit of …
