Implementation of flow control over WirelessHART sensor network using WirelessHART adaptors

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp910-919
Sabo Miya Hassan , Kishore Bingi , Rosdiazli Ibrahim , Lim Jin Chein , ThasarathaRao Supramaniam
Despite the advantages of the industrial wireless standards such as WirelessHART, ISA100.11a and Wireless Networks for Industrial Automation-Process Automation (WIA-PA), their application still faces a lot of challenges especially when it comes to interfacing with the real plant. This is due to lack of adequate infrastructures such as interfacing circuitry to establish communication between the WirelessHART nodes and the actuators and sensors. Therefore, this paper presents the application of locally developed WirelessHART adaptors for flow process control. The adaptors serve as an interface between the WirelessHART network and the sensor and actuator of the plant. Experimental results of the controllers compared showed that wireless control is possible through the use of the adaptors.

Automated library booktruck for traditional libraries

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp1095-1101
JJ Spies , B Kotze
Libraries are an integral part of our society’s knowledge repository and even though technological advances such as the internet, smart devices and an ‘always-connected-society’, provide avenues for fast and almost instantaneous access to knowledge, libraries still provide a physical place for the collection and dissemination of knowledge. The prompt shelving of the physical returned library books is an important task in any traditional library. To help speed up the shelving process, this paper proposed and simulated an automated booktruck that is capable of moving returned library books from the return desk back to the shelves. The simulation models currently available robotic hardware and implemented path finding and localization. The simulation results showed that returned books can be delivered to the shelves four times faster than the by using the current practices.

10.11591/ijeecs.v15.i2.pp688-696
Vorapoj Patanavijit , Kornkamol Thakulsukanant
In the past two decades, the SPN (salt and pepper noise) suppressing method is worldwide interested researches on computer vision and image processing hence many SPN suppressing methods have been proposed. In general, the primary goal of SPN removal method is the suppressing of SPN in digital images thereby one of the recent effective and powerful SPN suppressing methods is a new switching-based median filtering (NSMF), which is innovated for suppressing high density SPN. Consequently, this paper thoroughly examines its efficiency and constrain of a new switching-based median filtering when this filter is used for contaminated image, which is synthesized by SPN and RVIN (random-value impulsive noise). In these simulations, six well-known images (Lena, Mobile, Pepper, Pentagon, Girl, Resolution) with two impulsive noise classes (SPN and RVIN) are used for measuring the its efficiency and constrain. An evaluation of the efficiency is conducted with many previous methods in forms of subjective and objective indicators.

Terrestrial free space optical communications in Bangladesh: transmission channel characterization

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp3130-3138
Kazi Shahiduzzaman , Majumder F. Haider , Bijoy K. Karmaker
This research work focused on transmission channel characterization of Free-Space-Optical (FSO) communications technology for deploying in the developing country like Bangladesh. To meet the tremendous amount of data traffic, mobile operators and ISPs need better solution than the existing RF and fiber optic communications. Moreover, Bangladesh is entering in the era of satellite communications by launching its own satellite.  So, Bangladesh needs such communication technology that provides higher channel bandwidth, sophisticated transmission security and can cope channel dispersion. FSO is a good candidate that can meet all these features. The transmission channel characterization plays a significant role in optimizing the performance of FSO link.  In this work, the channel characterization of FSO technology from the weather perspective of Bangladesh has been investigated thoroughly. The obtained results show that the atmospheric scattering effect does not hamper the short range FSO link performance, whereas, the atmospheric turbulence effect is not favorable to deploy FSO technology with reasonable quality signal unless it is optimized properly using antenna aperture averaging technique.

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp2831-2839
Hector A. Tabares-Ospina , John E. Candelo-Becerra , Fredy E. Hoyos Velasco
In a power system, the load demand considers two components such as the real power (P) because of resistive elements, and the reactive power (Q) because inductive or capacitive elements. This paper presents a graphical representation of the electric power demand based on the topological properties of the Julia Sets, with the purpose of observing the different graphic patterns and relationship with the hourly load consumptions. An algorithm that iterates complex numbers related to power is used to represent each fractal diagram of the load demand. The results show some representative patterns related to each value of the power consumption and similar behaviour in the fractal diagrams, which allows to understand consumption behaviours from the different hours of the day. This study allows to make a relation among the different consumptions of the day to create relationships that lead to the prediction of different behaviour patterns of the curves.

Daily Peak Load Forecast Using Artificial Neural Network

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp2256-2263
Ramesh Kumar V , Pradipkumar Dixit
The paper presents an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for short-term load forecasting of daily peak load. A multi-layered feed forward neural network with Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithm is used because of its good generalizing property and robustness in prediction. The input to the network is in terms of historical daily peak load data and corresponding daily peak temperature data. The network is trained to predict the load requirement ahead. The effectiveness of the proposed ANN approach to the short-term load forecasting problems is demonstrated by practical data from the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (BESCOM). The comparison between the proposed and the conventional methods is made in terms of percentage error and it is found that the proposed ANN model gives more accurate predictions with optimal number of neurons in the hidden layer.

Parallelising reception and transmission in queues of secondary users

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp3221-3227
Lak Sad
In a cognitive radio network, the secondary users place the packets to be transmitted on a queue to control the order of arrival and to adapt to the network state. Previous conceptionsassigned to each secondary user a single queue that contains both received and forwarded packets. Our present article divides the main queue into two sub queues: one to receive the arrived packets and the other to transmit the available packets. This approach reduces the transmission delay due on the one hand; to the shifting of data placed on the single queue, and on the other hand; to the sequential processing of reception and transmission, in theprevious designs. All without increasing the memory capacity of the queue, in the new approach.

Facial features deformed according to the intended facial expression. Specific facial features are associated with specific facial expression, i.e. happy means the deformation of mouth. This paper presents the study of facial feature deformation for each facial expression by using an optical flow algorithm and segmented into three different regions of interest. The deformation of facial features shows the relation between facial the and facial expression. Based on the experiments, the deformations of eye and mouth are significant in all expressions except happy. For happy expression, cheeks and mouths are the significant regions. This work also suggests that different facial features' intensity varies in the way that they contribute to the recognition of the different facial expression intensity. The maximum magnitude across all expressions is shown by the mouth for surprise expression which is 9x10-4. While the minimum magnitude is shown by the mouth for angry expression which is 0.4x10-4.

10.11591/ijece.v9i4.pp2893-2901
B. Prathiba , K. Jaya Sankar , V. Sumalatha
There are various unseen and unpredictable networking states in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that adversely affect the aggregated data quality. After reviewing the existing approaches of data quality in WSN, it was found that the solutions are quite symptomatic and they are applicable only in a static environment; however their successful applicability on dynamic and upcoming reconfigurable network is still a big question. Moreover, data quality directly affects energy conservation among the nodes. Therefore, the proposed system introduces a simple and novel framework that jointly addresses the data quality and energy efficiency using probability-based design approach. Using a simplified analytical methodology, the proposed system offers solution in the form of selection transmission of an aggergated data on the basis of message priority in order to offer higher data utilization factor. The study outcome shows proposed system offers a good balance between data quality and energy efficiency in contrast to existing system.
