The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models have been accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive ...

There are two types of digital filters including Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) and Finite Impulse Response (FIR). IIR filters attract more attention as they can decrease the filter order significantly compared to FIR filters. Owing to multi-modal error surface, simple powerful optimization techniques should be utilized in designing IIR digital filters to avoid local minimum. Imperialist compe...

We survey recent results on the structure of the range of the derivative of a smooth mapping f between two Banach spaces X and Y . We recall some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions on a subsetA of (X ,Y) for the existence of a Fréchet differentiable mapping f from X into Y so that f ′(X)= A. Whenever f is only assumed Gâteaux differentiable, new phenomena appear: for instance, ...

approximating the solution of differential equations of fractional order is necessary because fractional differential equations have extensively been used in physics, chemistry as well as engineering fields. in this paper with central difference approximation and newton cots integration formula, we have found approximate solution for a class of boundary value problems of fractional order. three...

potential field methods such as gravity and magnetic methods are among the most applied geophysical methods in mineral exploration. a high-resolution technique is developed to image geologic boundaries such as contacts and faults. potential field derivatives are the basis of many interpretation techniques. in boundary detection, the analytic signal quantity is defined by combining the val...

Background: The aim of present study was to analyze the effectiveness of electron filters in the Telecobalt radiotherapy treatment by simulation technique.  Materials and Methods: The BEAMnrc Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the electron filters of thickness of 0.5 gm/cm2 below the trimmer bar for 35 × 35 cm2 field size in Theratron Equinox-80 telecobalt unit. The electron filters were mad...

direct orthogonal signal correction(dosc) and savitzky-golay filters (sgf) were applied as preprocessing methods on the original and first derivative absorbance data. principle component regression (pcr), partial least squares (pls) and iterative target transformation factor analysis (ittfa), were used in spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of heavy divalent metal ions, lead, zinc,mer...

In this thesis, we address the issue of local orientation analysis using steerable filters. From the standpoint of the sampling theory, current orientation steerable filters sample the spectrum of the orientation space with Dirac functions. According to the well known uncertainty principle, we cannot simultaneously localize a signal both in the spatial domain and in the spectral domain exactly....

Feature extraction in Copy-Move Forgery Detection (CMFD) is crucial to facilitate image forgery analysis. Edge detection one of the processes extract specific information from (CMF) Images. It sensitizes amount and filters out useless ones while preserving important structural properties image. This paper compares five edge methods: Robert, Sobel, Prewitt (first Derivative), Laplacian, Canny de...
