Abstract

Various interface circuits for collecting the energy of piezoelectric cantilever beams have been widely investigated. Such circuits include the standard interface, series synchronized switch harvesting interface circuit, parallel synchronized switch harvesting interface, synchronized charge extraction interface, and others. Most studies focus on the performance of different interface circuits with standard sinusoidal excitations. However, in real situations where constant harmonic vibrations are not present, the equivalent voltage from piezoelectric cantilever beams with excitations is not necessarily sinusoidal. In the present study, a simulation analysis of four different interface circuits with signal sources that are both damped sinusoidal and random was performed using Matlab and PSpice. The results show that the interface circuits have improved performance under low load resistance values with damped sinusoidal signal. In addition, the parallel and series synchronized switch harvesting interface circuits may perform well in collecting piezoelectric energy with random excitations.

Abstract

Collecting Lingwu long jujubes’ growth characteristics and identifying maturity compared with growth model are important factors in automatic image monitoring system for fruit maturity. To segment and extract regions of Lingwu long jujubes’ against nature scenes in digital images is the key to image recognition. Color space transformation, is used to transform RGB color space to CIE L*a*b* color space, analyze characteristics of three-dimension histogram of each component and increase target display properties by using each component’s point operation. Also, the image pixel threshold segmentation method of each component is proposed; then the target image can be obtained by mathematical morphological and logical operation of the extracted image. 50 images of Lingwu long Jujubes are utilized to compare segmentation results of algorithm with those of manual segmentation method. Comparison results show that the proposed segmentation algorithm can be effectively applied to extracting Lingwu long jujubes’ images against nature scenes, and its accuracy has reached 92.6%.This algorithm has decreased the segmentation error caused by image noise while extracting targets which has strong robustness to the color distribution fluctuation as well. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i9.3289
