ELECT A local binary pattern (LBP)-based tracking algorithm and a novel heterogeneous vision chip architecture that implements the algorithm in high speed are proposed. The algorithm is more robust than previously reported high-speed tracking algorithms. The proposed vision chip architecture adopts multiple levels of parallel processors to execute the algorithm in pixel-parallel and patch-paral...

This paper presents Growing Neural Gas (GNG) based a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for a high performance wind generator using DFIG. It is used in variable speed wind energy conversion system. Here, two back to back converters is used and connected to the stator, correspondingly FOC and VOC is done on machine and supply side converter. Constant voltage over the grid is obtained ...

As the traffic problems in urban areas are going to increase traffic surveillance systems based on video are attracted over past decades. These systems are very much useful to monitor and manage various traffic conditions such as traffic management, prevention of accident, also secure transportation .Within this vehicle speed determination on the road is one of the aim. So the vehicle speed det...

A new control problem called Disturbance Tracking Control (DTC), which arises in active control of variable speed horizontal axis wind turbines for electric power generation, was developed previously. Feedback control of a linear plant, which is persistently disturbed, must cause the plant output to track a linear function of the disturbance. This control theory is related to Tip Speed Ratio Tr...

This paper presents a new vision-based traffic monitoring system, which is inspired by the visual structure found in raptors, to provide multiple depth-of-field vision information for vehicle tracking and speed detection. The novelty of this design is the usage of multiple depth-of-field information for tracking expressway vehicles over a longer range, and thus provide accurate speed informatio...

Seas and oceans are the most important sources of renewable energy in the world. The main purpose of this paper is to use an appropriate control strategy to improve the performance of point absorbers. In this scheme, considering the high uncertainty in the parameters of the power take-off system in different atmospheric conditions, a new improved black hole algorithm is introduced to tune fuzzy...

Color-based tracking is a very popular technique for object tracking. However, under varying environmental conditions in video sequences, the existing tracking methods tend to be unreliable for tracking high speed objects. It is possible under such a complex environment that the targets may disappear totally or partially due to occlusion. To over this problem, a novel approach of multiple-color...

This paper is focusing on designing a control system for wind turbine which can control the speed and output power according to arbitrary algorithm. Reference Tracking Method is used to control the turbine spinning speed in order to increase its output energy. Keywords—Wind Turbine, Simulink, Reference Tracking Method.
