Automated grading system plays an important role in many industries. In ceramic industries, the grading of ceramic tiles is a difficult task as it has huge variations of surface properties. In this paper, automated surface grading system based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) is presented. Texture information’s in ceramic tiles are effectively rep...

As we all know, power quality (PQ) issues are a major concern these days. Field programmable gate array (FPGA) essential in PQ analysis, particularly smart meters for data processing, storage, and transmission. One of the most significant advantages FPGA is its reconfigurability, with vast hardware resources that can be used to implement complex as well time-critical processing units. Because a...

At present, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been considered as a promising alternative to conventional plastics due to their diverse variability in structure and rapid biodegradation. To ensure cost competitiveness in the market, thermoseparating aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) with the advantages of being mild and environmental-friendly was suggested as the primary isolation and purifica...

In this paper, we have designed and developed a technique for burning area identification using Intensity Hue Saturation (IHS) transformation and image segmentation. The process of identifying the burnt area in proposed technique consists of four steps such as: IHS transformation, object segmentation, identification of smoke area using Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) and discovering burning ...

Video-based face recognition is a very challenging problem as there is a variation in resolution, illumination, pose, facial expressions and occlusion. In this paper, we have presented an approach for resolution variation video-based face recognition system using the combination of local binary pattern (LBP), principal component analysis (PCA) and feed forward neural network (FFNN). We used, st...

Because of increasingly common damage and thefts of the transmission towers, a new function is proposed to enhance the state maintenance of transmission lines. It relies on the monitoring of the high-voltage transmission towers to ensure the reliability and safety of the power grid operation. An approach which combines Independent Component Analysis (ICA) with neural network based on Particle S...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a significant aspect of the hydrologic cycle, notably in irrigated agriculture. Direct approaches for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ET0) are either difficult or need large number inputs that not always available from meteorological stations. Over 6-year period (2006–2011), this study compares Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN), Radial Basis Function (RBFNN)...

The quest for an intelligence compliance system to solve power stability problems in real-time with high predictive accuracy, and efficiency has led the discovery of deep learning (DL) techniques. This paper investigates potency several artificial neural network (ANN) techniques assessing steady-state a system. new voltage pointer (NVSP) was employed parameterize reduce input data algorithms pr...

An artificial neural network has been used to determine the volume flux and rejections of Ca2+ , Na+ and Cl¯, as a function of transmembrane pressure and concentrations of Ca2+, polyethyleneimine, and polyacrylic acid in water softening by nanofiltration process in presence of polyelectrolytes. The feed-forward multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network including an eight-neuron hidde...
