Retinal image contains vital information about the health of the sensory part of the visual system. Extracting these features is the first and most important step to analysis of retinal images for various applications of medical or human recognition. The proposed method consists of preprocessing, contrast enhancement and blood vessels extraction stages. In preprocessing, since the green channel from the coloured retinal images has the highest contrast between the subbands so the green component is selected. To uniform the brightness of image adaptive histogram equalization is used since it provides an image with a uniformed, darker background and brighter grey level of the blood vessels. Furthermore Curvelet transforms is used to enhance the contrast of an image by highlighting its edges in various scales and directions. Eventually the combination of Bothat and Tophat morpholological function followed by local thresholding is provided to classify the blood vessels. Hence the retinal blood vessels are separated from the background image.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i3.6327

Design and Simulation of Dynamic Voltage Restorer based on Fuzzy Controller Optimized by ANFIS

https://ijpeds.iaescore.com/index.php/IJPEDS/article/view/4993

The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) appears to be the unique solution when the process is too complex for analysis by conventional techniques or when the available information data are interpreted qualitatively, inexactly or with uncertainty. In literature, the proposed FLC in general consists of two inputs (error and derivative of error) and one output. The number of membership functions is chosen in most cases to be five or seven regardless of the approach used for the design. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) approach to optimize the two inputs one output FLC with seven membership functions to one input one output FLC with three membership functions without compromising accuracy. The study is applied to control a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) in voltage sag/swell mitigation. The results of simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK show that the performance of the optimal FLC generated by ANFIS is comparable with the initial given FLC.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v4i2.5685

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/3397

Focused on revealing variations of dynamic characteristics of an auto-leveling system used in mobile elevating work platforms (MEWP) at large height, a unified mathematical model composited of a series of sub-models was built for the leveling systems. An effect on dynamic characteristics including the fast response and relative stability from varying-parameters was investigated. Results displayed the displacement-angle factor changing with work-conditions tended to cause fluctuations of the stability, while enlarging the amplifier gain would accelerate system response. Increasing the area ratio was conducive to leveling stability to be reinforced, but lead a different response speed for forward process or reverse leveling, which was harmful to overall stability. The findings would provide essential theory guidance for the design and manufacture of the leveling system devices of high altitude platform. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.4914

A Coarse-to-Fine Human Body Segmentation Method in Video

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/3409
Yingna Deng , Wenqing Wang
Human body precise segmentation is difficult because of inter-occlusion when there are multiple human bodies in video. A coarse-to-fine segmentation method is proposed. In coarse segmentation, human shape models are used to get human’s position and coarse region. The human models with variant scale and posture are constructed with head, torso, and legs. For each human body, its corresponding human shape model is obtained by model matching, and by which human position is obtained roughly. Human precise contour is obtained in fine segmentation by curve evolution with initial contour obtained from coarse segmentation. Experiment results show that the proposed method could segment human object precisely. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.3539

Demand Forecasting Model of Port Critical Spare Parts

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/3404
Zhijie Song , Zan Fu , Han Wang , Guibin Hou
Demand forecasting for port critical spare parts (CSP) is notoriously difficult as it is expensive, lumpy and intermittent with high variability. In this paper, some influential factors which have an effect on CSP consumption were proposed according to port CSP characteristics and historical data. And analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to sieve out the more influential factors. Combined with the influential factors, a least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) model optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) was developed to forecast the demand. And the effectiveness of the model is demonstrated through a real case study, which shows that the proposed model can forecast the demand of port CSP more accurately, and effectively reduce inventory backlog. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.3238

Dynamics of miniature unmanned helicopter are considered nonlinear and mutually coupled; therefore designing of a stable control becomes a big challenge for researchers. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a hybrid control methodology using both traditional and intelligent control. A 3DoF model helicopter system is used as a controlled platform. This hybrid control used PID as a traditional and fuzzy as an intelligent control so as to take the full advantage of advanced control theory. Proposed hybrid control is evaluated against the fuzzy and PID control through intensive simulation. Results verified that the proposed control has an excellent performance in static as well as dynamic environment as compared to individual PID and fuzzy control. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.5091

Gaoussou Hadia Fofana , Youtong Zhang
In this paper, the electro-thermal model of Lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles and its related application were studied. The spatial variations of electrode parameter and the reaction heat generated inside battery must be considered when developing an electro-thermal model of Lithium-ion battery for electric vehicles, to ensure the applicability of the developed model under different operating conditions. The results showed that: with increasing state of charge, the spatial variations of net reaction current density, lithium ion concentration on the surface of active material particles, activation overpotential, equilibrium electrode potential and electrical potential of solid phase are reduced, but the spatial variation of electrical potential of electrolyte phase is enlarged. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.5016

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/3388
Xianlong He , Xueshan Yang , Lizhen Zhao
Dynamic deflection measurement is an important component to the bridge loading experiment or health monitoring. Using high-precision inclinometers to test the dynamic deflection is a good method for High-Speed Railway Bridge deflection measurement in this paper, we develop a kind of precision inclinometer which comprehensives the Capacitive sensor technology and the Servo sensor technology and has been called QY inclinometer. We also derive a new theory to calculate deflection based on inclination. Using eleven QY inclinometers and three Cable-Displacement sensors, we have done a comparison dynamic deflection measurement experiment on an arch bridge. Test results indicate: using inclinometers to measure dynamic deflection can achieve the same accuracy with Cable-Displacement sensor which can achieve 0.1 mm accuracy. Therefore, this experiment has proved Using high-precision inclinometers to measure dynamic deflection of bridge can satisfy the dynamic deflection measurement request of high-speed railway bridge. Comparing with other methods of dynamic deflection measurement, using high-precision inclinometers to measure dynamic deflection is very easy to operate, and also do not need find a static reference point. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.4933

Xiao Feng , Guo Li , Guo Lina
Modern image measurement needs to take full advantage of sub-pixel edge information of images. This paper presents a sub-pixel edge detection method of color images based on image dimensionality reduction and the least square method. First of all we get the pixel level edge by Ostu algorithm and then combine gray processing algorithm based on color spatial distance and the least square method for sub-pixel edge location. Experimental results show that the algorithm positioning accuracy can reach 0.13 pixel which provides a basis for the selection of color image sub-pixel edge positioning. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.4921

This paper develops and experimentally demonstrates an AC signal detection method in DC power system with a combination of a novel detection circuit and the wavelet neural network method. Aims at dealing with the travelling wave and fault signal cannot be detected accurately with the uncertainty of signal velocity when AC signal injected. In which, the injected AC signal in DC power system is detected via the current transformers and the voltage transformers distributed in different current loops. The acquired signal is taken as original fault signal while the sub-band energy function of wavelet packet decomposition is used as secondary characteristic and the minimum distance is used as the criterion in WNN method. Simulations are carried out to demonstrate the correctness and validity of the proposed method and which gives a good consistency with experimental test. Results show that the AC signals can be detected and located in DC power system accurately with the proposed method applied. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.4206

Automatic 3D Model Annotation by a Two-Dimensional Hidden Markov Model

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/3381
Guo Jing , Zhou Mingquan , Li Chao
In this paper, a new method of 3D model automatic annotation is proposed based on a two-dimensional Hidden Markov Model(2-D HMM). Growing importance in the last years Hidden Markov Models are a widely used methodology for sequential data modeling. Recent years, HMMs are applied to research of automatic annotation, such as images and models annotation. The three basic problems with HMM-liked model are also solved in our model. Our modeling process has two steps, those are training and testing. In the proposed approach, each object is separated into several bins by a spiderweb model and a shape function D2 is computed for each bin. These feature vectors are then arranged in a sequential fashion to compose a sequence vector, which is used to train HMMs. In 2-D HMM, we assume that feature vectors are statistically dependent on an underlying state process which has transition probabilities conditioning the states of two neighboring bins. Thus the dependency of two dimensions is reflected simultaneously. To classify an object, the maximized posteriori probability is calculated by a given model and the observed sequence of an unknown object. Comparing with the general HMM, 2-D HMM gets more information from the neighboring bins. So the system of 2-D HMM performs well on images and model annotation. Analysis and experimental results show that the proposed approach performs better than existing ones in database. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.4946

https://ijeecs.iaescore.com/index.php/IJEECS/article/view/3475
Huaping Zhou , Ruixin Zhang
For the limitation of traditional information fusion technology in the mine gas safety class predicition, an intelligent algorithm is proposed in which Genetic Algorithms is adopted to optimize the parameters of the least squares support vector machine and establishes a multi-sensor information fusion model GA-LSSVM which overcomes the subjectivity and blindness on parameters selection, and thus improves its classification accuracy and convergence speed. Experimental results show that compared to the least squares support vector machine model not been optimized and the least squares support vector machine model optimized by the grid searching algorithm, GA-LSSVM model can be a good solution on the issue of the high-dimensional, nonlinear and uncertainty of the small sample in coal mine underground environment level evaluation. DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i5.4364
