Crowd Anomaly Detection Using Motion Based Spatio-Temporal Feature Analysis

10.11591/ijeecs.v7.i3.pp737-747
Basavaraj G M , Ashok Kusagur
Recently, the demand for surveillance system is increasing in real time application to enhance the security system. These surveillance systems are mainly used in crowded places such as shopping malls, sports stadium etc. In order to support enhance the security system, crowd behavior analysis has been proven a significant technique which is used for crowd monitoring, visual surveillance etc. For crowd behavior analysis, motion analysis is a crucial task which can be achieved with the help of trajectories and tracking of objects. Various approaches have been proposed for crowd behavior analysis which has limitation for densely crowded scenarios, a new object entering the scene etc. In this work, we propose a new approach for abnormal crowd behavior detection. Proposed approach is a motion based spatio-temporal feature analysis technique which is capable of obtaining trajectories of each detected object.  We also present a technique to carry out the evaluation of individual object and group of objects by considering relational descriptors based on their environmental context. Finally, a classification is carried out for detection of abnormal or normal crowd behavior by following patch based process. In the results, we have reported that proposed model is able to achieve better performance when compared to existing techniques in terms of classification accuracy, true positive rate, and false positive rate.

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i3.pp1070-1079
Auzani Jidin , New Lai Sim , Tole Sutikno
A control strategy for overmodulation operation of direct torque control hysteresis based in induction machine is proposed. The strategy is to extend the constant torque region as well as to improve the torque capability. The proposed overmodulation strategy is different to SVM based system where the reference stator voltage is available. In order for DTC hysteresis based system to be able to achieve that, several modifications have been applied so that the proposed overmodulation can be achieved by gradually transforming the PWM voltage waveform to six-step mode. Simulated results were provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategy.

Five-level PWM Inverter with a Single DC Power Source for DC-AC Power Conversion

10.11591/ijpeds.v8.i3.pp1212-1219
Suroso Suroso , Abdullah Nur Aziz , Toshihiko Noguchi
This paper presents a circuit configuration of five-level PWM voltage-source inverter developed from the three-level H-bridge inverter using only a single DC input power source. In the proposed five-level inverter, an auxiliary circuits working as the voltage balancing circuits of the inverter’s DC capacitors is presented. The auxiliary circuits work to keep stable DC capacitor voltages of the inverter, and also to reduce the capacitor size of the inverter. The unique point of the proposed balancing circuits is that it needs only a single voltage sensor to control the voltages of the two capacitors in the inverter. Moreover, a minimum number the inverter’s switching devices is also an important feature of the proposed inverter topology. A simple proportional integral controller is applied to control the voltage of the DC capacitors. The proposed topology is tested through computer simulation using PSIM software. Laboratory experimental tests were also conducted to verify the proposed inverter circuits. The computer simulation and experimental test results showed that the proposed balancing circuits works properly keeping stable voltages across the two DC capacitors of the inverter using only a single voltage sensor. The inverter also works well to synthesize a five-level PWM voltage waveform with sinusoidal load current.

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i3.pp235-243
S. Deepa , K. P. Nithya , C. S. Ajin Sekar , V. Deepalakshmi
This paper deals with various power issues such as voltage sag, swell, harmonics, and surges using static synchronous compensator (STATCOM).The conventional controller suffers from uncertain parameters and non-linear qualities. However they are computationally inefficient extending to optimize the fuzzy controller (FC) parameters, since they exhaustively search the optimal values to optimize the objective functions. To overcome this drawback, a genetic algorithm (GA) based Fuzzy controller parameter optimization is presented in this paper. The GA algorithm is used to find the optimal fuzzy parameters for minimizing the objective functions. The feasibility of the proposed GA technique for distribution systems to improve the sag and total harmonic Distortion (THD) as major power quality indices in sensitive loads at fault conditions has been simulated and tested. Therefore, the multi-objective optimization algorithm is considered in order to attain a better performance in solving the related problems.

Among the most noticeable root causes of improper performance in power transformers, internal short circuit faults can be noted and if not quickly be identified and addressed in the accepted time interval, irrecoverable damages such as interruption or even collapse of the network connected to the power transformer would happen. In this contribution, three-phase transformer behaviors under magnetizing inrush, internal short circuit condition and their current values determination have been surveyed using electromagnetic coupling model approach and structural finite element method. Utilizing the definition of transformer in the form of multi-coil and their electromagnetic and electric couple, a three dimensional geometric model of transformer is developed which includes nonlinear characteristics of the transformer, different states of normal and under internal short circuit occurrence and the moment of magnetizing inrush creation are investigated. The comparison between obtained results of presented model simulation with the consequences of practical studies on a typical three phase transformer reveals that the proposed model has a reliable accuracy in detection and modelling the transformer behavior in normal conditions, magnetizing inrush and different types of internal faults. The proposed approach represents an accurate model of a three-phase transformer for protection aims.

Induction motor drives are commonly used for applications with vast variations in mechanical load for torques under nominal values. HVAC loads are among these loads. The most ideal scheme for induction motor drive design should include drive loss reduction, or efficiency improvement, proportional to load torque such that optimal performance of drive is not affected. In this paper, using analytical methods, an accurate model is proposed for induction motor drive design. This model allows us to utilize real control and classical control theory for better performance of drive control system. The most damaging mechanical load for induction motor drive is impulse load or so-called periodic load. A scheme proposed for power loss control includes loss control for this type of load, meanwhile, robustness of drive system and stator frequency stability are retained. Main advantages for this scheme are applicability and implementation on various induction motor drives with various powers, without any specific requirements and the least possible computation for the processors.

An increasing efficiency of the solar system can be improved by using hybrid cooling mechanism. This paper presents the impact of hybrid cooling mechanism on PV panel under indoor testing with varying solar intensity. Thus, the fabrication of a solar simulator for indoor testing reacts as the space solar radiation is described. The performance of PV panel which attached to a hybrid cooling mechanism compared with PV panel without cooling mechanism under variation of average solar radiation. Experimental tests were carried out for various average solar radiations by varying the number of lamps and/or the lamp-to-area distance. Without altering the spectral distribution, the characteristic of current-voltage of PV panel was analysed under average solar radiation which varied from 202 W/m2 to 1003 W/m2. As the result, the PV panel with hybrid cooling system explored to generate more power output with decreasing in PV panel temperature. About 15.79 % increment of power output generated by PV panel with cooling at maximum average solar radiation. Furthermore, the PV panel temperature also can be decreased about 10.28 % respectively. The combination of DC fan and water pump as cooling mechanism plays an important role in generating efficient power output from PV panel.

10.11591/ijaas.v6.i3.pp258-267
P Sudharshan Duth , Vimal Viswanath , Pankaj Sreekumar
Advances in medical imaging technologies have given rise for effective diagnostic procedures. The acquisition promptness and resolution enhancements of imaging modalities have given physicians more information, less invasively about their patients. Active contours are used to segment, match and track images of an atomic structure by manipulating constraints derived from the image data together with prior knowledge about the location, size, and shape of these structures. The level set method is referred as a part of active contour family. The major disadvantages of level set method are initialization of controlling parameters and time complexity. The proposed method adopts Robust Spatial Kernel Fuzzy C-Means (RSKFCM) and Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) to overcome these drawbacks. RSKFCM is based on standard Fuzzy C-Means algorithm which uses Gaussian RBF kernel function as distance metric and incorporates spatial information. The LBM uses the energy function to determine and reduce the actual processing time which addresses the time complexity. The proposed system combines both RSKFCM and LBM to form a hybrid approach, and the system is tested on a large set of MRI brain images and the experimental results are found to be improved with respect to time complexity.

The adoption of cloud environment for various application uses has led to security and privacy concern of user’s data. To protect user data and privacy on such platform is an area of concern. Many cryptography strategy has been presented to provide secure sharing of resource on cloud platform.  These methods tries to achieve a secure authentication strategy to realize feature such as self-blindable access tickets, group signatures, anonymous access tickets, minimal disclosure of tickets and revocation but each one varies in realization of these features. Each feature requires different cryptography mechanism for realization. Due to this it induces computation complexity which affects the deployment of these models in practical application. Most of these techniques are designed for a particular application environment and adopt public key cryptography which incurs high cost due to computation complexity. To address these issues this work present an secure and efficient privacy preserving of mining data on public cloud platform by adopting party and key based authentication strategy. The proposed SCPPDM (Secure Cloud Privacy Preserving Data Mining) is deployed on Microsoft azure cloud platform. Experiment is conducted to evaluate computation complexity. The outcome shows the proposed model achieves significant performance interm of computation overhead and cost.
