Attitude Control of Quadrotor Using PD Plus Feedforward controller on SO(3)

10.11591/ijece.v8i1.pp566-575
Almido H Ginting , Oyas Wahyunggoro , Adha Imam Cahyadi
This paper proposes a simple scheme of Proportional-Derivative (PD) plus Feedforward controller on SO(3) to control the attitude of a quadrotor. This controller only needs the measurement of angular velocity to calculate the exponential coordinates of the rotation matrix. With rotation matrix as an error variable of the controller, the simulation shows that the controller is able to drive the attitude of the quadrotor from hovering condition to desired attitude and from an attitude condition goes to the hovering condition, despite the system is disturbed. When the system is convergent, the rotation error matrix will be a 3x3 identity matrix.

Passive Damper Network in a Simple DC Distribution Power System

10.11591/ijece.v8i1.pp544-555
Awang Bin Jusoh , Muhammad Firdaus Abd Razak , Mohamad Hamka Bin Saiful , Tole Sutikno
Distributed power system (DPS) distributes power amongst processing units such as power electronics converters with DC system. Due to the increasing usage of power converters in DPS system, the system becomes unstable and the converter tends to draw constant power needed by the load of the system. Constant power load (CPL) characteristic has negative input impedance that could produce instability problems in the DC bus system. Passive damping network which consists of series RC damping circuit was connected in parallel to the DC bus system with the purpose to reduce the instability. The passive damper was designed, simulated with MATLAB/Simulink and verified experimentally with different values of CPL power levels and input voltage changes. The obtained simulation results show that simple DC system with constant power load was successfully stabilized by the installation of the passive damping network. The experimental set up was also conducted to validate of the proposed technique, and the obtained results were in excellent agreement with the theoretical parts of the project.

Concept Drift Identification using Classifier Ensemble Approach

10.11591/ijece.v8i1.pp19-25
Leena Deshpande , M. Narsing Rao
Abstract:-In Internetworking system, the huge amount of data is scattered, generated and processed over the network. The data mining techniques are used to discover the unknown pattern from the underlying data. A traditional classification model is used to classify the data based on past labelled data. However in many current applications, data is increasing in size with fluctuating patterns. Due to this new feature may arrive in the data. It is present in many applications like sensornetwork, banking and telecommunication systems, financial domain, Electricity usage and prices based on its demand and supplyetc .Thus change in data distribution reduces the accuracy of classifying the data. It may discover some patterns as frequent while other patterns tend to disappear and wrongly classify. To mine such data distribution, traditionalclassification techniques may not be suitable as the distribution generating the items can change over time so data from the past may become irrelevant or even false for the current prediction. For handlingsuch varying pattern of data, concept drift mining approach is used to improve the accuracy of classification techniques. In this paper we have proposed ensemble approach for improving the accuracy of classifier. The ensemble classifier is applied on 3 different data sets. We investigated different features for the different chunk of data which is further given to ensemble classifier. We observed the proposed approach improves the accuracy of classifier for different chunks of data.

Navigation in the physical environment is a challenge for those people who have very limited sense of sight or no vision at all. Assistive technologies for blind mobilization is not new and always have a room for improvement. Moreover, these assistive devices are limited in terms of its sensing and feedback abilities. This paper presents a microcontroller-based guiding stick capable of detecting several conditions of the environment such as obstacles in front, left and right positions of the user and detects ascending and descending staircases. The feedback is delivered by an audio output which dictates the direction to go or what condition the sensor detects in front of the user. Technical evaluation proves that the device was functional in terms of its accuracy, responsiveness and correctness. On the other hand, in the actual evaluation of the device with the visually impaired individuals, the device did not perform efficiently. It was also found that the device has the potential to be used effectively by the visually impaired who acquired their blindness in later stage of their life provided that they will have a proper training in using the device while navigating in the physical environment.

10.11591/ijece.v8i1.pp390-399
Naktal Edan , Ali Al-Sherbaz , Scott Turner
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) is a technology that enables browser-to-browser communication. Therefore, a signalling mechanism must be negotiated to create a connection between peers. The main aim of this paper is to create and implement a WebRTC hybrid signalling mechanism named (WebNSM) for video conferencing based on the Socket.io (API) mechanism and Firefox. WebNSM was designed over a combination of different topologies, such as simplex, star and mesh. Therefore it offers several communications at the same time as one-to-one (unidirectional/bidirectional), one-to-many (unidirectional) and many-to-many (bi-directional) without any downloading or installation. In this paper, WebRTC video conferencing was accomplished via LAN and WAN networks, including the evaluation of resources in WebRTC like bandwidth consumption, CPU performance, memory usage, Quality of Experience (QoE) and maximum links and RTPs calculation. This paper presents a novel signalling mechanism among different users, devices and networks to offer multi-party video conferencing using various topologies at the same time, as well as other typical features such as using the same server, determining room initiator, keeping the communication active even if the initiator or another peer leaves, etc. This scenario highlights the limitations of resources and the use of different topologies for WebRTC video conferencing.

Comparing fuzzy numbers is an essential process in deducing the output of many fuzzy decision making methods. One of the comparison methods commonly used is by using similarity measure. The main advantage of the similarity measure over other approaches is its ability to minimize the loss of information in the computational process. Several similarity measures have been applied effectively in fuzzy decision making methods. In this paper, a new similarity measure based on the geometric distance, the center of gravity, Hausdorf distance and the set theoretic similarity formula known as the Dice similarity index are incorporated into the Extended Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) method particularly in calculating the closeness coefficients. This similarity measure is in favor of others as it is able to discriminate two similar shape fuzzy numbers effectively with two different locations. A validation process is carried out by implementing the proposed procedure of the Extended FTOPSIS with the new similarity measure in solving a supplier selection problem and the ranking outcome is then compared with the Extended FTOPSIS with other existing similarity measure. The result shows that the Extended FTOPSIS with the proposed similarity measure gives a consistent result without reducing any information in the computational process.

10.11591/ijece.v8i1.pp11-18
Shalini Vashishtha , K.R. Rekha
Since last decades, the pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques have been an intensive research subject. Also, different kinds of methodologies have been presented on inverter switching losses, inverter output current/ voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter maximum output of DC bus voltage. The Sinusoidal PWM is generally used to control the inverter output voltage and it helps to maintains drive performance. The recent years have seen digital modulation mechanisms based on theory of space vector i.e. Space vector PWM (SVPWM). The SVPWM mechanism offers the enhanced amplitude modulation indexes (MI) than sinusoidal PWM along with the reduction in the harmonics of inverter output voltage and reduced communication losses. Currently, the digital control mechanisms have got more attention than the analog counterparts, as the performance and reliability of microprocessors has increased. Most of the SVPWM mechanisms are performed by using the analog or digital circuits like microcontrollers and DSPs. From the recent study, analysis gives that use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can offer more efficient and faster solutions. This paper discusses the numerous existing research aspects of FPGA realization for voltage source inverter (VSI) along with the future line of research.

The Malaysian healthcare system is well-being recognized for providing a wide range of access to primary healthcare. The number of hospitals is found to be growing in line with the increase in population. However, over-crowding has become the most common scene that people see in every hospital. The number of  patients being admitted may  somehow  mislead  healthcare planners,  and  thus  causing  them  to  underestimate  the  resources  that  are  required  within  the  hospital. Thus, this study aims to identify better forecasting models for variations in hospital bed admission considering State Space Model (SSM). Data on the admission rate of a state hospital was collected, spanning the period of historical data from 2001 until 2015. The findings indicate that State Space model can outperform common model due to its lower Mean Squared Errors. Female aged between 25 -34 years old are found to be having the highest variation, which could lead to unpredictable in terms of being admitted to hospital.
