In this paper we address the problem of text extraction, enhancement and recognition in digital video. Compared with optical character recognition (OCR) from document images, text extraction and recognition in digital video presents several new challenges. First, the text in video is often embedded in complex backgrounds, making text extraction and separation diicult. Second, image data contain...

Blind source separation (BSS) is a promising method for extracting somatosensory-evoked potential (SEP). Although various BSS algorithms are available for SEP extraction, few studies have addressed the performance differences between them. In this study, we compared the performance of a number of typical BSS algorithms on SEP extraction from both computer simulations and clinical experiment. Th...

Developing precise and robust algorithms that can help in obtaining maximum power yield a variable speed wind turbine is an important area of research engineering. The present manuscript proposes technique utilizes second-generation CRONE controller for the tracking (MPPT) to maximize generation energy conversion system (WECS) based on double-fed induction generator (DFIG). authors propose this...

Lunasin and Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) are two soybean peptides to which health-promoting properties have been attributed. Concentrations of these peptides were determined in skim fractions produced by enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction processing (EAEP) of extruded full-fat soybean flakes (an alternative to extracting oil from soybeans with hexane) and compared with similar extracts ...

The kinetics solid-liquid extraction of phenolics from wild olive leaves was elaborated using different mathematical models (Peleg, second order, Elovich, and power law model). As solvents, methanol, ethanol, ethanol:water 1:1, n-propanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate were used. The second order model best described the solvent extraction process, followed by the Elovich model. The most effect...
