High power white LEDs are expected to replace the existing lighting technologies in near future which are also suggested for visible light communication (VLC). We proposed an algorithm for high precision indoor positioning using lighting LEDs, VLC and image sensors. In the proposed algorithm, four LEDs transmitted their three-dimensional coordinate information which were received and demodulated by two image sensors near the unknown position. The unknown position was then calculated from the geometrical relations of the LED images created on the image sensors. We described the algorithm in details. Simulation of the proposed algorithm was done and presented in this paper. This technique did not require any angular measurement which was needed in contemporary positioning algorithms using LED and image sensor. Simulation results showed that the proposed system could estimate the unknown position within the accuracy of few centimeters. Positioning accuracy could be increased by using high resolution image sensors or by increasing the separation between the image sensors.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v1i2.165

The assurance of an information quality of the input medical image is a critical step to offer highly precise and reliable diagnosis of clinical condition in human. The importance of such assurance becomes more while dealing with important organ like brain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most trusted mediums to investigate brain. Looking into the existing trends of investigating brain MRI, it was observed that researchers are more prone to investigate advanced problems e.g. segmentation, localization, classification, etc considering image dataset. There is less work carried out towards image preprocessing that potential affects the later stage of diagnosing. Therefore, this paper introduces a novel model of integrated image enhancement algorithm that is capable of solving different and discrete problems of performing image pre-processing for offering highly improved and enhanced brain MRI. The comparative outcomes exhibit the advantage of its simplistic implemetation strategy.

The Iraqi fuel station still now uses old technologies to control its activities from filling tanks to the filling cars. Automate the activity of fuel station is the objective of this work. The aims of fuel station automation are to save the fuel quantities and qualities supplied in fuel station, and to keep the fuel station, the worker and its main parts safe. This work uses the national instrument wireless sensor network (NI WSN). The NI WSN used to automate the protection system and level controlling system which makes the fuel station work under normal ambient temperature, and normal protection conditions. Automation based on a wireless sensor network gives excellent capabilities to automate and monitor fuel station. Through the user interface window the user monitor the status of actuators, protection system controller messages, fuel levels, water level, environment temperature, power source and its quality. The soft controller developed was built within The LABVIEW environment. The results of controller give the desired action through "on" and “off” states of the actuators.

In recent years, many researchers have studied the HAR (Human Activity Recognition) system. HAR using smart home sensor is based on computing in smart environment, and intelligent surveillance system conducts intensive research on peripheral support life. The previous system studied in some of the activities is a fixed motion and the methodology is less accurate. In this paper, vision-based studies using thermal imaging cameras improve the accuracy of motion recognition in intelligent surveillance systems. We use one of the deep learning architectures widely used in image recognition systems called Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Therefore, we use CNN and thermal cameras to provide accuracy and many features through the proposed method.

To accommodate the regularity of wind energy; a storage device is required for the wind turbine. This paper proposesa constant power control for wind farm based Doubly Fed Induction Generator, the suggested storage device is supercapacitor which is connected to every wind turbine of the wind farm, it provides output power stability and compensates the deviations between the available wind energy input and the desired active power output. A Distribution – Static Synchronous Compensator (D-STATCOM) is connected at the point of connection of the wind farm, it controls the active and reactive power according to the demand from orpower generation to the electrical grid. The coordinated approach between the supercapacitors and the D-STATCOM mitigates the voltage magnitude fluctuations of the wind farm and provides support to the active power. Simulation studies are carried out inMATLAB/Simulink.

Blood cells diagnosis is becoming essential to ensure a proper treatment can be proposed to a blood related disease patient. In current research trending, automated complete blood count analysis system is required for pathologists or researchers to count the blood cells from the blood smeared images. Hence, a portable mobile-based complete blood count (CBC) analysis framework with the aid of microscope is proposed, and the smartphone camera is mounted to the viewing port of the light microscope by adding a smartphone support. Initially, the blood smeared image is acquired from a light microscope with objective zoom of 100X magnifications view the eyepiece zoom of 10X magnification, then captured by the smartphone camera. Next, the areas constitute to the WBC and RBC are extracted using combination of color space analysis, threshold and Otsu procedure. Then, the number of corresponding cells are counted using topological structural analysis, and the cells in clumped region is estimated using Hough Circle Transform (HCT) procedure. After that, the analysis results are saved in the database, and shown in the user interface of the smartphone application. Experimental results show the developed system can gain 92.93% accuracy for counting the RBC whereas 100% for counting the WBC.

As the size of devices are scaling down at rapid pace, the interconnect delay play a major part in performance of IC chips. Therefore minimizing delay and wire length is the most desired objective. FLUTE (Fast Look-Up table) presented a fast and accurate RSMT (Rectilinear Steiner Minimum Tree) construction for both smaller and higher degree net. FLUTE presented an optimization technique that reduces time complexity for RSMT construction for both smaller and larger degree nets. However for larger degree net this technique induces memory overhead, as it does not consider the memory requirement in constructing RSMT. Since availability of memory is very less and is expensive, it is desired to utilize memory more efficiently which in turn results in reducing I/O time (i.e. reduce the number of I/O disk access). The proposed work presents a Memory Optimized RSMT (MORSMT) construction in order to address the memory overhead for larger degree net. The depth-first search and divide and conquer approach is adopted to build a Memory optimized tree. Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of proposed approach over existing model for varied benchmarks in terms of computation time, memory overhead and wire length. The experimental results show that the proposed model is scalable and efficient.
