The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of increased penetration level of Photovoltaic (PV) generation on the distribution network. Harmonic distortion is the main factor studied in this paper and a typical ...

Many pieces of information are exchanged in the form of binary pictures across many domains as a result of the paradigm shift from paper to electronic. This covers banking, economic dealings, military communication, and ...

Streaming video quality dependents in part upon the video encoding process. The Frequency Domain Motion Estimation process is commonly used to accelerate the entire video encoding process. It is used to reduce the encoding ...

We present an object segmentation technique that builds on the success of Seeded-Region Growing (SRG) segmentation. SRG methods are typically initialized by a single point or patch in the image that represents the object ...

Contrast is an important feature in an image because the low-contrast effect causes poor details visibility, and the high-contrast effect leads to better-perceived details. The low-contrast effect happens due to many ...

Globally, breast cancer is the number one killer of all cancer diseases in women. The diseases commonly occur in high income countries, but recently there is rapid increase of breast cancer in middle and low income countries ...

Binary information extracted from biometrics is variable when it is generated from photographic images. If the same bit-string representation can be produced repeatedly, these bit-strings are useful for applications that ...

Two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) and its variants have been successfully used for the task of face recognition (FR). However, one of the major limitations of 2DPCA-based FR methods is that they only ...

Liveness detection is the most important field in the field of biometrics. The development of biometric-based liveness detection algorithms provides a key role in the success of security applications. Liveness detection ...

This work proposes the hybrid Bacterial Foraging enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (BF-PSO) tuned proportional-integral (PI) controller for load frequency control (LFC) of interconnected 3-area power system comprising ...
