We present an improved version of adaptive distributed cross-layer routing algorithm (ADCR) for hybrid wireless network with dedicated relay stations (HWN∗) in this paper. A mobile terminal (MT) may borrow radio resources that are available thousands mile away via secure multihop RNs, where RNs are placed at pre-engineered locations in the network. In rural places such as mountain areas, an MT ...

In this paper we propose a novel feature extraction scheme for texture classi cation, in which the texture features are extracted by a two-level hybrid scheme by integrating two statistical techniques of texture analysis. In the rst step, the low level features are extracted by the Gabor lters, and they are encoded with the feature map indices using the Kohonen's SOFM algorithm. In the next ste...

This paper addresses a problem that has arisen in building distributed systems in which incomplete tmst exists and program composition is necessary. The problem is to permit authentication for both access control and accounting when cascading invocations. The problem can be identified as one of providing cascaded authentication. We have developed a mechanism we call pussports that are passed al...

This paper focuses on hybrid H-bridge cascaded MLI using two equal dc sources in order to produce a five-level output. The proposed topology reduces the number of dc sources and switching elements. This paper emphasis on various inverted sine carrier PWM (ISCPWM) techniques with equal amplitude and unequal amplitude carriers. The inverted sine carrier pulse width modulation (ISCPWM) technique e...

In this paper, we describe a new design procedure for cascaded controller for electrical drives based on evolutionary algorithms. Most electric drives have two separate controllers for current and speed control, which are in general designed in two consecutive steps (firstly the current controller and then the speed one). Using a hybrid evolutionary algorithm designed to test and compare contro...

In this paper, three neural control strategies are addressed to a class of single input-single output (SISO) discrete-time nonlinear systems affected by parametric variations. According to the control scheme, in a first step, a direct neural model (DNM) is developed to emulate the behavior of the system, then an inverse neural model (INM) is synthesized using specialized learning technique and ...

Wavelet-domain hidden Markov tree (HMT) model has been recently proposed and applied to image processing, e.g., image segmentation. A new multiscale image segmentation method, called HMTseg, was proposed by Choi and Baraniuk using the waveletdomain HMT. In this paper, we study the HMTseg algorithm and investigate the Contextual Labeling Tree which is used for the context-based Bayesian intersca...

The three-phase Shunt hybrid APF topology for harmonic mitigation in low and medium voltage power distribution systems consists of a VSI based three phase shunt active filter (SAF) and tuned passive filters (TPF) connected in parallel with the load. This chapter discusses the modelling of shunt active filter and design of filter interfacing inductor, DC bus capacitor, tuned passive filters. It ...

To dynamically detect the facial landmarks in the video, we propose a novel hybrid framework termed as detection-tracking-detection (DTD). First, the face bounding box is achieved from the first frame of the video sequence based on a traditional face detection method. Then, a landmark detector detects the facial landmarks, which is based on a cascaded deep convolution neural network (DCNN). Nex...

Reliability and throughput are two important aspects of data communication systems.Various error control strategies such as FEC, ARQ, and hybrid ARQ schemes can be used to enhance system performance.For time-varying channels, the optimum solution is to adaptively match the rate of the error-correcting code to the prevailing channel conditions.A simple and efficient system utilizing the well-kno...
