Image encoding decoding concept is studied by using the techniques of wavelet transformation, artificial neural network(ANN)and threshold value. The aforesaid techniques are useful in encoding and decoding. This process gives more ensured, a three leveled security to the images in three different terms. First is wavelet transformation. Second is encoding decoding keys along with weights of ANN ...

more than 30% of iran's land is formed from mountainous areas. so each year, landslides cause damages to structures, residential areas and forests, creating sedimentation, muddy floods and finally deposit the sediments in reservoir dams. therefore, for preventing of this damages and expressing the sensitivity rate of hillslopes, landslide hazard zonation is considered in prone areas. the p...

the present investigation entails a procedure by which the surface tension and viscosity of liquids could be redicted.to this end, capillary experiments were performed for porous media by utilizing fifteen different liquids and powders. the time of capillary rise to a certain known height of each liquid in a particular powder was recorded. two artificial neural networks (anns) were designed and...

Objective(s): Bioactive silicate ceramics have favorable features for applying as off-the-shelf bone and artificial tissue. Calcium silicate can enhance the generation of an immediate bond with host bone without an intervening rough surface in the bone layer. However, the silicate bioceramics have some drawback regarding their mechanical properties and chemical stabilities. Materials and Method...

A classification technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for detection of rolling element bearing fault is presented here.  The SVM was fed from features that were extracted from of vibration signals obtained from experimental setup consisting of rotating driveline that was mounted on rolling element bearings which were run in normal and with artificially faults induced conditio...

Rainfall-runoff relationship is very important in many fields of hydrology such as water supply and water resourcemanagement and there are many models in this field. Among these models, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) wasfound suitable for processing rainfall-runoff and opened various approaches in hydrological modeling. In addition,ANNs are quick and flexible approaches which provide very ...

background: one issue of concern in water supply is the quality of water. measuring the qualitative parameters of water is time-consuming and costly. predicting these parameters using various models leads to a reduction in related expenses and the presentation of overall and comprehensive statistics for water resource management. methods: the present study used an artificial neural network (ann...

A new method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) is proposed for fault diagnosis of gearboxes. Firstly the six different base wavelets are considered, in which three are from real valued and other three from complex valued. Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared...

global positioning system (gps) signals provide valuable information about ionosphere physical structure. using these signals, can be derived total electron content (tec) for each line of sight between the receiver and the satellite. for historic and other sparse data sets, the reconstruction of tec images is often performed using multivariate interpolation techniques. recently it has become cl...
