Hard to cook (HTC) phenomenon is developed by storing bean grains under the adverse conditions of high temperature (≥ 25 °C ) and high humidity (≥ 65 %). Bean grains that have undergone this HTC phenomenon are characterized by loss of color lightness, development of browning and darkening, and decrease of Water Absorption Capacity (WAC). The objective of this study was to develop a CFA (Color Filter Array) image processing system to measure Water Absorption Capacity (WAC) of bean grains with high precision in short time intervals (10 min). The relationships between the CFA image features, extracted from raw images captured by CCD (charge coupled device) camera, and the measured WAC were established. The calibration models using multiple linear regression (MLR) were developed to predict WAC. The MLR models for prediction samples resulted in correlation coefficient (R2) in the range of 0.811 to 0.947, standard error of prediction (SEP) in the range of 7.587 to 11.669, and Fisher variable value (F) in the range of 52.300 to 221.690. Results indicate that computer vision system (CVS) based on CFA image analysis technique can provide an accurate, reliable and nondestructive measurement method of WAC to evaluate the hard to cook defect in bean grains.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i2.2149

Visible Light Communication (VLC) has become an accolade to its radio frequency counterpart. In VLC system, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has drawn much attention, because of simple equalization, high spectral efficiency, high data rate and robustness to intersymbol interference (ISI). Besides, there are emerging applications that ought to be gotten with low latency and high reliability. To diminish power requirements with no transmission capacity extension, Trellis coded modulation (TCM) is utilized as a part of the framework in which the free distance of trellis diagram is equivalent to the minimum distance between the points of constellation focuses in partitioned subsets, which augments the coding gain up i.e. the performance parameter viably. TCM together with VLC-OFDM enhances the transmission execution in reasonable frameworks. In this paper, we propose OFDM which is based on TCM and is planned and exeuted for digitized OFDM frameworks by presenting delta sigma modulation (DSM) considering VLC channel. Simulation results show that the proposed TCM based VLC-OFDM offers incredible robustness against noises and nonlinear degradation.

This paper presents hardware realization of addition of two digital signals based on Walsh transforms and inverse Walsh transforms targeted to the Xilinx FPGA Spartan 3 board. The realization utilizes Walsh Transform to convert the input data to frequency domain and the inverse Walsh transform to reconvert the data from frequency domain. The designed system is capable of performing addition, subtraction, multiplication and Arbitrary Waveform Generation (AWG). However, in the present work, the hardware realization of addition only has been demonstrated. The Clock frequency for realization into the board is supplied by an external function generator. Output results are captured using a logic analyzer. Input data to the board (system) is passed manually through the available slide switches on-board.

One of the obstacles that hinder the usage of mutation testing is its impracticality, two main contributors of this are a large number of mutants and a large number of test cases involves in the process. Researcher usually tries to address this problem by optimizing the mutants and the test case separately. In this research, we try to tackle both of optimizing mutant and optimizing test-case simultaneously using a coevolution optimization method. The coevolution optimization method is chosen for the mutation testing problem because the method works by optimizing multiple collections (population) of a solution. This research found that coevolution is better suited for multi-problem optimization than other single population methods (i.e. Genetic Algorithm), we also propose new indicator to determine the optimal coevolution cycle. The experiment is done to the artificial case, laboratory, and also a real case.

In Biotelemetry, Biomedical signal such as ECG is extremely important in the diagnosis of patients in remote location and is recorded commonly with noise. Considered attention is required for analysis of ECG signal to find the patho-physiology and status of patient. In this paper, LMS and RLS algorithm are implemented on adaptive FIR filter for reducing power line interference (50Hz) and (AWGN) noise on ECG signals .The ECG signals are randomly chosen from MIT_BIH data base and de-noising using algorithms. The peaks and heart rate of the ECG signal are estimated. The measurements are taken in terms of Signal Power, Noise Power and Mean Square Error.

This paper solves an optimal reactive power scheduling problem in the deregulated power system using the evolutionary based Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA). Reactive power scheduling is a very important problem in the power system operation, which is a nonlinear and mixed integer programming problem. It optimizes a specific objective function while satisfying all the equality and inequality constraints. In this paper, CSA is used to determine the optimal settings of control variables such as generator voltages, transformer tap positions and the amount of reactive compensation required to optimize the certain objective functions. The CSA algorithm has been developed from the inspiration that the obligate brood parasitism of some Cuckoo species lay their eggs in nests of other host birds which are of other species. The performance of CSA for solving the proposed optimal reactive power scheduling problem is examined on standard Ward Hale 6 bus, IEEE 30 bus, 57 bus, 118 bus and 300 bus test systems. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is more suitable, effective and efficient compared to other optimization techniques presented in the literature.

The Fuzzy Gain Scheduling (FGS) methodology for tuning the Proportional – Integral – Derivative (PID) traditional controller parameters by scheduling controlled gains in different phases, is a simple and effective application both in industries and real-time complex models while assuring the high achievements over pass decades, is proposed in this article. The Fuzzy logic rules of the triangular membership functions are exploited on-line to verify the Gain Scheduling of the Proportional – Integral – Derivative controller gains in different stages because it can minimize the tracking control error and utilize the Integral of Time Absolute Error (ITAE) minima criterion of the controller design process. For that reason, the controller design could tune the system model in the whole operation time to display the efficiency in tracking error. It is then implemented in a novel Remote Controlled (RC) Hovercraft motion models to demonstrate better control performance in comparison with the PID conventional controller.
