This paper is devoted to the analysis of aircraft dynamics in the cruise flight phase under windshear conditions. The study is conducted with reference to a point-mass aircraft model restricted to move in a vertical plane. We formulate the problem as a differential game against the wind disturbances: The first player, autopilot, manages, via additional…

Detect and tracking of moving weak targets is a complicated dynamic state estimation problem whose difficulty is increased in case of high clutter conditions or low signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this case, the track-before-detect filter (TBDF) that uses unthresholded measurements considers as an effective method for detecting and tracking a single target under…

In this paper, a secure elevator handling system is presented to enable a flexible movement of wheeled mobile robots among laboratories distributed in different floors. The automated handling system consists mainly of an ADAM module which has the ability to call the elevator to the robot’s current floor and to request the destination floor. The…

This paper proposed an Optical Markup Recognition (OMR) system to be used to detect shaded options of students after MCQ-type examinations. The designed system employed the pixel-based unsupervised classification approach with image pre-processing strategies and compared its efficiencies, in terms of speed and accuracy, with object-based supervised or unsupervised classification OMR systems. Speed and accuracy…

Abstract— The process of mapping large numbers of markers is computationally complex, as the increase of numbers of markers results in an exponential increase in the mapping runtime. Also, having unreliable markers in the dataset adds more complexity to the mapping process. In this research, we have addressed these two issues and proposed our solution.…

This paper introduces a kind of novel backstepping phase- locked loops (PLL). The paper presents a developed theoretical model of (PLL) frequency synthesizer and provides analytical equations for calculating the desired specification such as phase margin (PM). The proposed model aims to improve the control accuracy, ensure stability and reducing the lock time. Adaptive controller…

Mobile robots can be used to perform transportation tasks for different objects. These tasks have to be implemented carefully. Therefore, an accurate approach for object recognition and position estimation is required. This work presents a concept for identification and position estimation of multiple labware. These labware, which contain chemical and biological components, have to be…

This work is dedicated to present a new pipeline-parallel architecture of Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT) for all wavelet family implemented in FPGA technology. The main target of our architecture is to provide an effective performance trade-off, where it significantly increases the throughput with a restricted amount of hardware. In this article, we propose two…

The research in Neuro-Prosthetics is gaining more significance and popularity as the advancement in prosthetics control allows amputees to perform even more tasks. Indeed, the improvement of classification accuracy is a challenge in prosthetics control. In this research, a system is developed in order to improve the multiclass classification rate. Two classifiers namely Artificial Neural…

In this paper first discussion approach will stress out the integration of model predictive control in maximum power point tracking MPPT and as progressing a second approach identified as fuzzy logic controller FLC and perturb & Observe P&O algorithms are analyzed. All are interrelated to MPPT model for a photovoltaic module, PVM, to search for…

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among female diseases all over the world. Early diagnosis and treatment is particularly important in reducing the mortality rate. This research is focused on the prevention of breast cancer, therefore it is important to detect micro-calcifications (MCs) which are a sign of early stage breast cancer.…

In the recent years, the fast development and the exponential utilization of social networks have prompted an expansion of social Computing. In social networks users are interconnected by edges or links, where Facebook, twitter, LinkedIn are most popular social networks websites. Due to the growing popularity of these sites they serve as a target for…

Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is a short range (range about 10cm) standard extended from the core standard Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID). These technologies are a portion of wireless communication technology. Even though NFC technologies benefit in various field, but it’s still exposed to multiple type of privacy attacks and threat as well since the…
