Face recognition under uneven illumination is still an open problem. One of the main challenges in real-world face recognition systems is illumination variation. In this paper, a novel illumination invariant face recognition approach based on Self Quotient Image (SQI) and weighted Local Binary Pattern (WLBP) histogram has been proposed. In this system, the performance of […]
In this paper for the first time, a circuit model for multi-finger I-gate body-contacted silicon-on-insulator MOSFET is presented. The model parameters are adjusted using simulation of a 45 nm SOI nMOSFET. Using the model, typical body voltage for a 35 finger device is obtained and applied to the transistor. The threshold voltage and drain current […]
Early detection of heart diseases/abnormalities can prolong life and enhance the quality of living through appropriate treatment. Whereas clustering of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals will help to identification of heart diseases as soon as possible. In this regard, neural network and fuzzy logic have been used in many application areas while each of them has advantages […]
In information retrieval systems, queries may be based on user sketches. The new method presented here, optimizes the user sketch before implementation. This optimization may be used in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) and Content-Based Video Retrieval (CBVR) which is based on trajectory extraction. To optimize the retrieval process, one stage of retrieval is performed by […]
Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death by cancer among men in the world. Ultrasonography is said to be the safest technique in medical imaging so it is used extensively in prostate cancer detection. In the other hand determining of prostate’s boundary in TRUS (Transrectal Ultrasound) images is very necessary in lots […]
In the modern context of electricity market deregulation, the price of the kilowatt-hour must take both power injections and withdrawals of the multiple market participants into consideration, as well as their actual grid usage. The responsibility for causing transmission losses and voltage drops therefore needs to be fairly attributed. While grid power injections and withdrawals […]
Due to artifacts, brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) segmentation is a complicated concern. This research work presents an image segmentation approach for brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. The proposed method is based on multi dimensional fuzzy C-mean. In this technique, different features of neighbouring pixels such as mean, standard deviation and singular value are extracted […]
in this paper, embedding a watermark image is performed in discrete Contourlet transform (CT) domain. It is known that the CT is able to capture the directional edges and contours superior to discrete wavelet transform. The proposed scheme is based on embedding watermark bits into the singular value of the selected blocks within low-pass sub-band […]
Reactive power dispatch plays a key role in secure and economic operation of power systems. Optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) is a non-linear optimization problem which includes both continues and discrete variables. Due to complex characteristics, heuristic and evolutionary based optimization approaches have became effective tools to solve the ORPD problem. In this paper a […]
In this article the electrical parameters of the induction motor are estimated by measuring temperature of its components. This process consists of four sections: 1-Thermal resistance model 2- Electrical parameters 3- Electrical model and 4- Neural network which presents motor parameters and operational status compatible with corresponding learning data. In thermal resistance model, we use […]
