A generalization of the classical electrodynamics for systems in absolute motion is presented using a possible alternative to the Lorentz transformation. The main hypothesis assumed in this work are: a) The inertial transformations relate two inertial frames: the privileged frame S and the moving frame S′ with velocity v with respect to S. b) The transformation of the fields from S to the movin...

A new method based on image matching and frame coupling to handle the problems of object detection caused by a moving camera and object motion is presented in this paper. First, feature points are extracted from each frame. Then, motion parameters can be obtained. Sub-images are extracted from the corresponding frame via these motion parameters. Furthermore, a novel searching method for potenti...

The force due to electromagnetic induction on a test charge is calculated in different reference frames. The Faraday-Lenz Law and different formulae for the fields of a uniformly moving charge are used. The classical Heaviside formula for the electric field of a moving charge predicts that the inductive force vanishes in the frame in which the magnet is in motion and the test charge at rest. In...

Visual sensor networks (VSNs) have been attracting more and more research attention nowadays. Identifying moving objects from a video sequence is a fundamental and critical task in many computer-vision applications. One of the simplest techniques for detection is background subtraction (BS) and frame difference, which identifies moving objects from the portion of a video frame that differs sign...

In this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct Lyapunov method. The approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Considering the energy absorption/injection ability of SMES, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

We describe an image stabilization system that compensates the motion of a moving platform carrying a camera. The dynamic construction of an image mosaic allows the selection of a reference image (normally the first of the sequence) and the registration of every incoming image with the reference frame. A feature-based mosaicking system is proposed in this paper to achieve image stabilization. T...

To acquire images of dynamic scenes from multiple points of view simultaneously, the acquisition time of vision sensors should be synchronized. In this paper, an illumination-based synchronization derived from the phase-locked loop (PLL) mechanism based on the signal normalization method is proposed and evaluated. To eliminate the system dependency due to the amplitude fluctuation of the refere...
