The statistical background subtraction and shadow detection algorithm (SBGS) is fast and reliable in outdoor scenes with shadows. However, its reliability depends on the number of training frames to construct the initial background model. In addition, the similarity between foreground and background colors, i.e, camouflage problem, could lead to the worse performance of background subtraction. In this paper, we present a robust outdoor background subtraction technique based on color statistics and edge information. Vector median filtering technique was employed in the initialization of the background model to address the SBGS's limitation. In addition, a combination of color statistics and edge information is utilized to improve the segmentation results over the original algorithm. Test data was compiled from various outdoor conditions including strong shadow, complex background, and low contrast scenes. The background subtraction results show that the proposed approach outperformed other well-known segmentation algorithms such as non-adaptive and adaptive SBGS algorithms as well as mixture of Gaussian algorithm based on precision-recall and computational measurements.

The possibility of having thick wings on aircraft has many potential advantages such as fuel storage, but flow past such a structure is very prone to separation with a large increase in drag. Hence for this technology to progress methods of suppressing separation must be developed. A feasible control strategy here is constant suction to suppress the shedding followed by oscillatory suction to maintain the attached flow, but a more efficient strategy with a lower energy consumption is clearly desirable. In particular, simulations of the flow are relatively cheap by numerical fluids standards but still require a significant computational effect, typically one to two days on a 32 processor machine. Hence a necessary step in developing more efficient control is to obtain a low order model that can be used for control design purposes. This paper gives initial results from an extensive research programme which is investigating the use of system identification for this task together with a specifically developed experimental configuration.

This paper presents a novel system is to develop to determine the suitability of a location for installation of solar power stations. Necessary data including speed and direction of wind, solar radiation and rainfall are received from a meteorology station, and data acquired are then converted to the labels. Finally, the labels are evaluated in a Naïve Bayes algorithm to determine the suitability of the location for the installation and axial structure of a Solar Power Plant. This helps to determine complicated calculations by means of the support system developed.

A speed closed-loop drive system of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) typically requires the rotor position feedback from the high-count quadrature encoder pulse (QEP) sensor equipped with the motor. Unlike the brushless dc motor, the high resolution of rotor position is necessary in PMSM drive because the instantaneous rotor position is required for its field orientation on the synchronously rotating dq-axis coordinate. In addition, the bandwidth of the calculated speed depends on the resolution of measured rotor position as well. Unfortunately, the resolution of the QEP (e.g., 1000-2000 pulse/rev) heavily affects the overall cost. In low cost applications, the PMSM drive using the high-count QEP is therefore impossible. This paper proposes the rotor position extrapolation using the polynomial estimator from the low-count QEP and implement in the complete speed closed-loop drive system of PMSM. Simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK are presented to initially validate the proposed algorithm in the speed closed-loop drive system. According to these results, the improved speed control in a high speed range can be observed when using low-count QEP of 3 and 6 pulse/rev. However, in the low speed range the speed control still requires the higher count QEP. Finally, the experimental results are included and discussed to fully validate the overall system.

The high-resolution encoder is typically used to detect the rotor position in Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive (AC servo drive) in many high performance applications where the high-precision position and extremely low speed controls are required. Therefore, the overall cost of such drive system is generally very expensive. This drive is absolutely not be attractive for low-cost applications where the speed control may be operating in the middle or high speed range. To reduce the cost, the high-resolution encoder may be replaced by the low-resolution encoder. In this paper, the implementation of speed controlled PMSM drive using low-resolution encoder down to 12 and 24 pulses/rev (or 3 and 6 pulses/electrical period for 8-pole PMSM respectively) for low-cost applications is thus proposed. The extrapolation technique is primarily adopted to increase the position resolution in both rotational directions and under the step load condition. The details of the overall drive system are given. Both simulation and experimental results are finally provided to validate the implementing system on a fixed-point TMS320F2812 DSP controller.

In order to obtain high spectral efficiency and high-rate packet transmission, this paper has proposed a STBC-OFDM system to solve the problem of Multi-fading Channels for wideband wireless communication system. Considering the Frequency Selective Channels (FSC), the paper gives the many simulation results of BER based on SNR when the system adopted different number of receiving and transmitting antennas, and with or without random interleaver. The results show the detail impact of FFT and the number of sub-carriers on the system. The interleaver can improve the performance of system greatly and will get a reasonable robustness in future wireless system.

The associative Hopfield memory is a form of recurrent Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that can be used in applications such as pattern recognition, noise removal, information retrieval, and combinatorial optimization problems. This paper presents the implementation of the Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) parallel architecture on a SRAM-based FPGA. The main advantage of the proposed implementation is its high performance and cost effectiveness: it requires O ( 1 ) multiplications and O (log N ) additions, whereas most others require O ( N ) multiplications and O ( N ) additions.

Multicarrier modulation is well suited for future wireless communication systems due to its ability to opportunistically transmit across unoccupied frequency bands. In addition to multicarrier modulation being able to attain high data rates with a sufficient level of error robustness, it also has the potential to achieve transmission flexibility via the non-contiguous access of wireless spectrum. In this paper, we shall investigate two approaches for enabling non-contiguous multicarrier modulation that can be used to facilitate spectrally opportunistic cognitive radio systems. One of the approaches is a variant of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), called non-contiguous OFDM (NC-OFDM), while the other approach is based the noncontiguous version of the filter bank approach non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (NOFDM), referred to as noncontiguous NOFDM (NC-NOFDM). The performance of these two approaches is assessed in terms of interference mitigation, which involves the use of actual spectrum measurement data, as well as computational complexity.
