We describe here a simple process for calibrating a transient scattering range. The process uses a paraboloidal scatterer to transform an axially incident plane wave into a spherical wave. Since the magnitude of the scattered field is known analytically, one can simply calibrate a measurement system. In order to calculate the scattered field, we use a stereographic projection that has previousl...

This paper presents a new method for individual tree measurement from Airborne LiDAR data. This method involves 3 steps; 1) individual tree crown delineation based on density of high points (DHP), 2) tree filtering, and 3) measurement of tree trunk diameter at breast height (DBH). In the second step, a special tree filtering algorithm is introduced which combines a histogram analysis and region...

We demonstrate a simple method to extend the measurable fiber length with a fiber-optic low-coherence technique. This method is based on a cascaded structure of multistage fiber delay line laid in one arm of the low-coherence technique. By choosing different individual stages in the cascaded fiber delay line, the length of the fiber under test can be continuously measured with a different measu...

The paper studies about a line-laser based vision system to measure structural adhesive as a non-invasive inspection. It proposes a novel vision system to measure height and width of adhesive (or object) by optical triangulation using line-laser, and analyzes for resolution, gaze angle, focal length and baseline of vision camera, proper to measurement. The validity of the proposed method was ve...

An on-line condition monitoring method for transmission line is proposed using electrical circuit theory and IT technology in this paper. It is reasonable that the circuit parameters such as resistance (R), inductance (L), conductance (g) and capacitance (C) of a transmission line expose the electrical conditions and physical state of the line. Those parameters can be calculated from the linear...

This paper investigates, how two fundamental measurement operations in Euclidean space, namely the construction of a straight line of given orientation angle and the measurement of distances along this line, are mapped to the non-Euclidean log-polar image plane. It is shown, how these two operations can be efficiently implemented for discrete log-polar images. The measurement operations are use...

We propose an integrated security measurement architecture and framework for a dynamic self-organizing monitoring system based on mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), structured according to currently known security challenges. The aim is to predict, as well as to monitor, the security performance, concentrating on the principal effects contributing to it. We introduce an on-thefly security level e...

In this paper, a novel method based on a combination of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with Self-adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) algorithm to estimate rotor position, speed and machine states for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is proposed. In the proposed method, as a first step SaDE algorithm is used to tune the noise covariance matrices of state noise and measurement noise i...

The induction of tetraploidy by means of cold, heat and multiple heat shock treatments was investigated on male fish from a growth-enhanced transgenic tilapia C118 line, crossed with wild type females. After the development a new multiple heat shock protocol (two heat treatments at 41oC in 60 and 80 min. after fertilization for 5 min. per each), chromosome and X-gal in situ staining assays demo...

The single-line-to-ground faults with line breaks (SLGFs-LBs) occur more and frequently in distribution networks can cause major safety accidents. It is difficult to distinguish the (SLGFs) resonant grounding systems ungrounding due same electrical characteristics on source side uncertain operation conditions of networks. This paper proposes a method for distinguishing SLGFs-LBs SLGFs. First, s...
