Economic Automatic Generation Control

Automatic generation control (AGC) regulates mechanical power generation in response to load changes. Its main objective is to maintain system frequency and keep energy balanced within each control area. However, how to make AGC more economically efficient is less studied. In this paper, we propose an approach to modifying the conventional AGC to improve its economic efficiency by reverse and f...

Automatic Camera Exposure Control

It is commonplace to use digital video cameras in robotic applications. These cameras have built-in exposure control but they do not have any knowledge of the environment, the lens being used, the important areas of the image and do not always produce optimal image exposure. Therefore, it is desirable and often necessary to control the exposure off the camera. In this paper we present a scheme ...

Automatic Control Point Measurement

The measurement of ground control points is an important task for the absolute orientation of stereo models, for digital aerial triangulation or for the registration of satellite imagery. In the Digital Photogrammetric Systems existing today this task is usually completely performed by a human operator. There exist, however, methods, that can identify and/or localize control points or control s...

Automatic Document Quality Control

This paper focuses on automatically improving the readability of documents. We explore mechanisms relating to content control that could be used (i) by authors to improve the quality and consistency of the language used in authoring; and (ii) to find a means to demonstrate this to readers. To achieve this, we implemented and evaluated a number of software components, including those of the Univ...
