Real-time quality control (qc) of oceanographic data is usually accomplished by testing data points against a variety of conditions to identify the quality of the data. Since 2012, the U.S. Integrated Observing System (U.S IOOS®) Program Office Quality Assurance/Quality Control of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (Qartod) Project has worked with the ocean-observing community both nationally and internationally...
Fault component protection possesses excellent performance, which widely used as fast protection in Smart Grid. However, the traditional extracting method of fault component causes obvious unbalanced outputs during power oscillation. As a result, fault component protection must be blocked during power oscillation, thus its application is restricted. In this paper, a method to improve the accuracy...
Post event time comparison technique based on GNSS is the key to time synchronization and time service. And it is also an important measure to correct the time difference of GNSS receiver and to improve its design and performance. The traditional post — time comparison is usually based on the Kalman filtering algorithm. This paper focuses on the algorithm of GNSS common-view time alignment based on...
We propose a method for generating caustic images in real time using a deep/convolutional neural network (CNN). To do so, training images are first rendered using photon mapping, and the CNN learns the correspondences between the depth images and caustic images. After learning, the CNN generates a caustic image from a depth image within 55 milliseconds. In addition, the similarity between the generated...
Inverted pendulum is one of the fundamental benchmarks in application areas of control engineering and robotics. It is a good example of single input multi output (SIMO) systems. In this paper, identification of a cart inverted pendulum system is carried out and real time control of the system is accomplished by using the PI-PD controller. PI-PD controller is a good approach to control integrating...
Fraud prevention in the banking sphere is a very important type of activity which can cover a whole range of fraud schemes — both from employees and customers. The article studies the existing technologies for realization of the system of security control over functioning of POS networks in real time and analyzes them in detail. Besides, the concept of the system of monitoring and analysis of threats...
Future tactical communications involves high data rate best effort traffic working alongside real-time traffic for time-critical applications with hard deadlines. Unavailable bandwidth and/or untimely responses may lead to undesired or even catastrophic outcomes. Ethernet-based communication systems are one of the major tactical network standards due to the higher bandwidth, better utilization, and...
This paper proposes the implementation of data analysis of the depth of scoring Kinect users' camera movements in grading Vietnamese traditional martial arts movements. The data analysis was conducted from 36 samples of 3D martial movements being currently used for teaching at schools and grading software static movements This is the first step of the implementation of self-training and evaluation...
This paper deals with analysis of CAN BUS using modular measurement system CompactRio from National Instruments and graphical development environment LabVIEW. The main advantage of using this system is that user can receive and transmit CAN messages in one window of program. Send all types of CAN BUS frames is possible. Another benefit is that is possible to simulate behavior of sensor or control...
It is costly to have a conventional three phase electricity supply system to service sparsely-populated rural areas. As a solution, the single wire earth return (SWER) network is widely used which has only one overhead conductor delivering power and the ground is used for the return path. This paper presents an on-line monitoring system, currently under development, to provide real-time power quality...
In modern industrial control, it is significant to achieve interoperability of state data and control data at field level and service management layer. Therefore, the demand for data exchange and sharing is getting higher and higher. This paper presents a research of the common mainstream network protocols on industrial network architecture of Northbound Interface, then it makes a comprehensive analysis...
In this work, the blink detection algorithm for an embedded closed-loop system for a restoration of facial muscle functions in the case of unilateral facial nerve paralysis is proposed. The algorithm is based on a real-time assessment of a spectral power of the electromyographic signal, which is recorded from the orbicularis oculi muscle with implanted needle electrodes on the healthy side of the...
Recently more and more embedded devices use multi-core processors. For example, the current generation of high-end engine-control units exhibit triple-core processors. To reliably exploit the parallelism of these cores, an advanced programming environment is needed, such as the current C++17 Standard, as well as the upcoming C++20 Standard. Using C++ to cooperatively parallelize software is comprehensively...
The tensile testing machine was constructed for determination of true stress and strain of carbon steel and image processing technique was proposed to detect a projection diameter of the specimen for actual area calculation. The main components of the tensile testing machine consists of a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic unit to proceed the tension force, upper and lower grippers to clamp the specimen,...
Vector Doppler techniques are ready to substituting the standard methods for blood velocity investigation. However, like in classic Pulse Wave methods, the maximum detectable velocity is related to the Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF), which is limited by the maximum depth and/or hardware constraints. Unfortunately, the blood velocity, e.g. in stenotic vessels, can easily peak at 2m/s, thus resulting...
Echocardiograms are acquired from standard views to ensure correct assessment of cardiac function. There is an increasing use of quantitative tools where specific views are required. Further, non-expert users of echocardiography are increasing, and thus a need for quality assurance during imaging. The aim of this project is to develop automatic and robust real-time classification of cardiac views...
Stress echocardiography is an ultrasound imaging technique to assess the functionality of wall segments of the left ventricle (LV). However, image quality is inadequate in up to 30% of patients, requiring the administration of contrast agents. Coherence-based beamforming methods have shown promise in improving image quality by mitigating clutter, a major source of image degradation. In a previous...
Renewable energy resources have become an integral part of the power and energy industry in the world today. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are one of the most common and established forms of renewable energy technologies. With the increased installation of PV systems both on a small and large scale, it is critical that the impacts and operations of PV systems are accurately modeled, simulated and studied...
This paper presents a study of the par alle lization possibilities of a Non-Linear Iterative Partial Least Squares algorithm and its adaptation to a Massively Parallel Processor Array manycore architecture, which assembles 256 cores distributed over 16 clusters. The aim of this work is twofold: first, to test the behavior of iterative, complex algorithms in a manycore architecture; and, secondly,...
The scalable extension (SHVC) of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) allows encoding in layers a video with multiple quality level such as resolution, bit-depth or Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). Compared to the equivalent HEVC simulcast, the SHVC extension provides inter-layer prediction mechanisms enabling significant bit-rate savings. Moreover these inter-layer prediction mechanisms are less complex...
