This paper presents an automatic FDP (Facial Definition Parameters) and FAP (Facial Animation Parameters) generation method from an image sequence that captures a frontal face. The proposed method is based on facial feature tracking without markers on a face. We present an efficient method to extract 2D facial features and to generate the FDP by applying 2D features to a generic face model. We ...

The main frequency is an important parameter of an electrical power system. The frequency can change over a small range due to generation-load mismatches. Some power system protection and control applications, e.g., frequency relay for load shedding, load-frequency controller, require accurate and fast estimation of the frequency. Most digital algorithms for measuring frequency have acceptable ...

State estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. The first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. This paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...

This study investigates the statistic behavior and parameter estimation problems of a double-sided, LCC-compensated, wireless power transfer system. Based on commonly used charging circuit model, this proposes five-step method, which is applicable to automotive static systems. The eight parameters in model are most important key components also found that, under certain conditions, mode systems...

This paper presents an approach to characterize power system loads through estimation of contributions from individual load types. In contrast to methods that fit one aggregate model to observed load behavior, this approach estimates the inventory of separate components that compose the total power consumption. Common static and dynamic models are used to represent components of the load, and p...

Overhead conductor sag may be measured by different methods. In the paper measurement of sag of 66KV power transmission line under shut down conditions at no wind load using standard handheld GPS receiver BT 359 has done. The real time direct measurement of overhead conductor sag is needed for the operation of power transmission system. The measurement of conductor tension, temperature and ambi...

 Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...

this paper presents a new control methodology for active power filters that provide an adaptive online harmonic estimation with partial and selective harmonic reduction schemes, which has been implemented within an integrated controller. the proposed approach is to provide partial and selective reduction of those individual harmonics which exceed the recommended levels as set by regulatory bodi...

In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the stress-strength reliability $Pr (X > Y)$ based on upper record values when $X$ and $Y$ are two independent but not identically distributed random variables from the power hazard rate distribution with common scale parameter $k$. When the parameter $k$ is known, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), the approximate Bayes estimator and ...
