in this paper, a novel compensator based on magnetically controlled reactor with fixed capacitor banks (fc-mcr) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. the problem of robust fc-mcr-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. the multi-objective problem is concocted ...

In this paper, we deal with building reconstruction in stereoscopic aerial imagery. We present a statistical, and competitive approach to the segmentation of roofs in pre-segmented regions. This parametric method is based on a multi-plane model, interpreted as a Bayesian mixture model. The so-called augmentation of the model with indicator variables allows the using of Bayesian sampler algorith...

Transparent refractive objects are one of the main problems in geometric vision that have been largely unexplored. The imaging and multi-view geometry of scenes with transparent or translucent objects with refractive properties is relatively less well understood than for opaque objects. The main objective of our work is to analyze the underlying multi-view relationships between cameras, when th...

Recording the activity of large populations of neurons is an important step toward understanding the emergent function of neural circuits. Here we present a simple holographic method to simultaneously perform two-photon calcium imaging of neuronal populations across multiple areas and layers of mouse cortex in vivo. We use prior knowledge of neuronal locations, activity sparsity, and a constrai...

Transporting Big Data requires high-speed connections between end-hosts. Research and educational networks typically are stateof-the-art networks that facilitate such high-speed user-created network connections, possibly spanning multiple domains. However, there are many different high-speed optical data plane standards and implementations, and vendors do not always create compatible data plane...

In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient method to integrate the multi-view panoramic range data using the global features acquired from panorama range data. In our approach, the planes with similar normal vectors are handled as one group, and multiple plane groups are extracted from the multi-view panoramic range data. Next, the transformation ( r e tation and translation) parameters b...

an important concern in rock mechanics is non-homogeneity as joints or fault. adopting the joints as fractures, fractures are well known for their effects on the mechanical and transport properties of rock. it has been postulated that through fractured/jointed rock, mainly, the polygons turned to the shear vector (ti) are involved in the mobilization of shear resistance. consequently, in order ...

The 16th problem of Hilbert addresses the determination and the understanding of the possible topological types of smooth real algebraic curves of a given degree in the projective planeRP . This paper is concerned with a local version of this problem: given a germ (C, 0) of real algebraic plane curve singularity, determine the possible topological types of the smoothings of C. A smoothing of C ...
