in this paper, a novel decision based median (dbm) filter for enhancing mr images has been proposed. the method is based on eliminating impulse noise from mr images. a median-based method to remove impulse noise from digital mr images has been developed. each pixel is leveled from black to white like gray-level. the method is adjusted in order to decide whether the median operation can be appli...

the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

background: we aimed to extract the histogram features for text analysis and, to classify the types of bio medical waste (bmw) for garbage disposal and management. methods: the given bmw was preprocessed by using the median filtering technique that efficiently reduced the noise in the image. after that, the histogram features of the filtered image were extracted with the help of proposed modifi...

active filters have proven to be more effective than passive techniques to improve power quality and to solve harmonic and power factor problems due to nonlinear loads. this paper proposes a control scheme based on the instantaneous active and reactive power. the inverter of this active filter is a three-phase, two-level converter. space vector technique is used as modulators and pattern genera...

this paper presents a new control methodology for active power filters that provide an adaptive online harmonic estimation with partial and selective harmonic reduction schemes, which has been implemented within an integrated controller. the proposed approach is to provide partial and selective reduction of those individual harmonics which exceed the recommended levels as set by regulatory bodi...

a critical protection requirement for grid connected distributed generators (dg) is anti-islanding protection. in this paper, a new islanding detection method for any possible network loading is proposed based on utilizing and combining various system parameter indices. in order to secure the detection of islanding, eight intentional disturbances are imposed to the system under study in which t...
