Finding Hidden Communities in Complex Networks from Chaotic Time Series

10.11591/ijeecs.v3.i2.pp350-355
Jiancheng Sun
Recent works show that complex network theory may be another powerful tool in time series analysis. In this paper, we construct complex networks from the chaotic time series with Maximal Information Coefficient (MIC). Each vector point in the reconstructed phase space is represented by a single vertex and edge determined by MIC. By using the Chua’s circuit system, we illustrate the potential of these complex network measures for the detection of the topology structure of the network. Comparing with the linear relationship measure, we find that the topology structure of the community with MIC reveals the hidden or implied correlation of the network.

10.11591/ijeecs.v3.i2.pp369-376
Mihir Narayan Mohanty , Sarthak Panda
Impulsive Noise is the sudden burst noise of short duration. Mostly it causes by electronic devices and electrosurgical noise in biomedical signals at the time of acquisition. In this work, Electrocardiograph (ECG) signal is considered and tried to remove impulsive noise from it. Impulsive noise in ECG signal is random type of noise. The objective of this work is to remove the noise using different adaptive algorithms and comparison is made among those algorithms. Initially the impulsive noise in sinusoidal signal is synthesized and tested for different algorithms like LMS, NLMS, RLS and SSRLS. Further those algorithms are modified in a new way to weight variation. The proposed novel approach is applied in the corrupted ECG signal to remove the noise. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified for ECG signal with impulsive noise as compared to the traditional approaches as well as previously proposed approaches. Also the performance of our approach is validated by SNR computation. Significant improvement in SNR is achieved after removal of noise.

10.11591/ijeecs.v3.i2.pp314-322
Chinnapettai Ramalingam Balamurugan , S.P. Natarajan , T.S. Anandhi , R. Bensaraj
This paper presents the comparison of various multicarrier Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques for the Cascaded Hybrid Multi Level Inverter (CHBMLI). Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the five level AC output voltage. This paper presents the use of Control Freedom Degree (CFD) combination. The effectiveness of the PWM strategies developed using CFD are demonstrated by simulation and experimentation.  The simulation results indicate that the chosen five level inverter triggered by the developed Phase Disposition(PD), Phase Opposition and Disposition(POD), Alternate Phase Opposition and Disposition (APOD), Carrier Overlapping (CO), Phase Shift (PS) and Variable Frequency (VF) PWM strategies developed are implemented in real time using FPGA. The simulation and experimental outputs closely match with each other validating the strategies presented.

An Improved Chaos Electromagnetism Mechanism Algorithm for Path Optimization Problem

10.11591/ijeecs.v3.i2.pp475-480
Shoulin Yin , Jie Liu , Lin Teng
As we all know, traditional electromagnetism mechanism (EM) algorithm has the disadvantage with low solution precision, lack of mining ability and easily falling into precocity. This paper proposes a new chaos electromagnetism mechanism algorithm combining chaotic mapping with limited storage Quasi-Newton Method (EM-CMLSQN). Its main idea is that it adopts limit quasi-Newton operator to replace the local optimization operator in EM algorithm for local searching in the late of algorithm. In the process of algorithm, the chaos mapping is introduced into optimization processes, and it generates new individuals to jump out of local to maintain the population diversity according to characteristics of chaos mapping random traversal. Finally, the experiments show that the new algorithm can effectively jump out of local optimal solution through comparing three continuous space test functions. The new algorithm has obvious advantages in terms of convergence speed compared to traditional EM algorithm, in addition, it is more accuracy than particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. We compare the new chaos electromagnetism mechanism algorithm with ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, PSO algorithm, the results represent that new scheme can obtain the optimal path in the path optimization process, which shows that the new method has better applicability in the discrete domain problem.

Accurate Iris Localization Using Edge Map Generation and Adaptive Circular Hough Transform for Less Constrained Iris Images

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1637-1646
Vineet Kumar , Abhijit Asati , Anu Gupta
This paper proposes an accurate iris localization algorithm for the iris images acquired under near infrared (NIR) illuminations and having noise due to eyelids, eyelashes, lighting reflections, non-uniform illumination, eyeglasses and eyebrow hair etc. The two main contributions in the paper are an edge map generation technique for pupil boundary detection and an adaptive circular Hough transform (CHT) algorithm for limbic boundary detection, which not only make the iris localization more accurate but faster also. The edge map for pupil boundary detection is generated on intersection (logical AND) of two binary edge maps obtained using thresholding, morphological operations and Sobel edge detection, which results in minimal false edges caused by the noise. The adaptive CHT algorithm for limbic boundary detection searches for a set of two arcs in an image instead of a full circle that counters iris-occlusions by the eyelids and eyelashes. The proposed CHT and adaptive CHT implementations for pupil and limbic boundary detection respectively use a two-dimensional accumulator array that reduces memory requirements. The proposed algorithm gives the accuracies of 99.7% and 99.38% for the challenging CASIA-Iris-Thousand (version 4.0) and CASIA-Iris-Lamp (version 3.0) databases respectively. The average time cost per image is 905 msec. The proposed algorithm is compared with the previous work and shows better results.

A Generic Review on Effective Intrusion Detection in Ad hoc Networks

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1779-1784
G. Gopichand , RA.K. Saravanaguru
Ad hoc network is specifically designed for the establishment of a network anywhere and anytime, which does not have any fixed infrastructure in order to support the mobility of the users in the network. The network is established without using any access points or base stations for communication implemented in multi hop schemes. Hence we call an Ad hoc network as a collection of nodes which are mobile in nature with a dynamic network infrastructure and forms a temporary network. Because of dynamic topological changes, these networks are vulnerable at the physical link, and they can easily be manipulated. An intruder can easily attack the Ad hoc network by loading the network resources which are available, such as wireless links and energy (battery) levels of other users, and then starts disturbing all the users. This paper provides a comparative survey on the various existing intrusion detection systems for Ad hoc networks based on the various approaches applied in the intrusion detection systems for providing security to the Ad hoc network.

Active LC Clamp dv/dt Filter for Voltage Reflection due to Long Cable in Induction Motor Drives

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1456-1469
Mini R , Manjiri Joshi , B. Hariram Satheesh , Dinesh M.N.
This paper presents an active LC clamped dv/dt filter to mitigate the over voltages appearing across the motor terminals. The over voltages at motor terminal is due to voltage reflection effect of long motor cable connected between high frequency PWM inverter having high dv/dt switching waveforms and ac motor drives. The voltage reflection due to fast switching transients can be reduced by increasing the rise time and fall time of inverter output voltage pulses. The most commonly available mitigating technique is a passive dv/dt filter between inverter and cable.  Since, size, cost and losses of passive LC dv/dt filter is more, an active dv/dt filtering technique is used to reduce over voltage at motor terminals. Active LC clamp filtering technique used here consists of a small LC filter designed for a single motor cable length which can be used for any lengths of cable up to 1000m only by changing the active control of the PWM pulses to achieve the desired voltage slope during voltage transition period. The basic principle of active dv/dt filer used here is to charge and discharge the capacitor in the filter with modified PWM pulses to increase the rise time and fall time of output voltage pulses without any extra devices to handle the transient response of the LC filter. Detailed investigation is carried out by simulation using MATLAB-Simulink software with active control of common LC clamp dv/dt filter suitable for various cable lengths ranging from 100 m to 1000 m. Comparative analysis is done with active dv/dt filter designed with a common LC clamp filter and active LC clamp dv/dt filter designed for various cable lengths and also with diode clamped passive dv/dt filter. The results proves the effectiveness of the active common LC dv/dt filter to mitigate the over voltages at motor terminal for cable lengths up to 1000m.

10.11591/ijece.v6i4.pp1595-1601
Chitra Hegde , Shakti Singh Chundawat , Divya S N
Analysis and detection of unusual events in public and private surveillance system is a complex task. Detecting unusual events in surveillance video requires the appropriate definition of similarity between events. The key goal of the proposed system is to detect behaviours or actions that can be considered as anomalies. Since suspicious events differ from domain to domain, it remains a challenge to detect those events in major domains such as airport, super malls, educational institutions etc. The proposed Mean Feature Point Matching (MFPM) algorithm is used for detecting unusual events. The Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) method is used for feature extraction. The MFPM algorithm compares the feature points of the input image with the mean feature points of trained dataset. The experimental result shows that the proposed system is efficient and accurate for wide variety of surveillance videos.
