The stand-alone solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are a convenient way to provide the electricity for people far from electric grid or who want power without any dependence on utility grid, run their usual activities either at homes businesses. size of these vary according available radiations and different load conditions. Therefore, this paper takes an organized approach regarding designing systems. For purpose, detailed guidelines technical considerations needed in design process PV system...
With growing security threats, many online and offine frameworks have been proposed for anomaly detection in video sequences. However, existing techniques are either computationally very expensive or lack desirable accuracy. This research work proposes a novel particle filtering based framework which detects frames with anomalous activities upon the posterior probability of sequence. The method also regions frames. We propose prediction measurement models to accurately detect Novel model...
This paper considers the problem of multiple human target tracking in a sequence video data.

It performs measurement-to-target association by automatically detecting measurement relevance....
This work presents a flexible VLSI architecture to compute the N ‐point DCT. Since HEVC supports different block sizes for computation of DCT, that is, 4 × up 32 32, design support them helps reducing area overhead hardware implementations. The proposed in this is partially folded save and get speed large video sequences sizes. relies on decomposition DCT matrices into sparse submatrices order reduce multiplications. Finally, multiplications are completely eliminated using lifting scheme....
Source separation algorithms that utilize only audio data can perform poorly if multiple sources or reverberation are present. In this paper we therefore propose a video-aided model-based source algorithm for two-channel reverberant recording in which the assumed static. By exploiting cues from video, first localize individual speech enclosure and then estimate their directions. The interaural spatial cues, phase difference level difference, as well mixing vectors probabilistically modeled....

However, most previous works leverage centralized cloud-based RL due computational complexity underlying neural networks (DNN). Therefore, persistent challenge towards...
Automatic detection and recognition of traffic signs is a topic research for various applications like driver assistance, inventory management autonomous driving. Poorly maintained degrade by losing their colors or some part weird due to aging hence making the task more challenging. The problem mainly related developing world has gained less attention in literature on automatic sign recognition. To handle degradation issue, we present novel flexible Gaussian mixture model based technique...
The micro-hydro based interconnected power system performance in terms of stability is generally affected by the dynamic characteristic its components during and after when it subjected to physical disturbances such as quick change electric load, occurrence fault etc. These sometimes cause large variations frequency, voltage, flows other constraints; thereby, invoking actions processes, controls, protections that are incompletely inappropriately modeled conventional studies. Thus, complete...
