Evaluation of different structured models for target detection in hyperspectral imagery
(2010)
Target detection is an essential component in defense, security and medical applications of hyperspectral imagery. Structured and unstructured models are used to model variability of spectral signatures for the design of ...
A variable dimension gauss-newton method for ill- conditioned parameter estimation with application to a synchronous generator
(2005)
This thesis presents a variable dimension Gauss-Newton (VDGN) parameter estimation algorithm that can be used for fault detection, and diagnosis of a synchronous generator. The algorithm is derived as an extension of the ...
Hierarchy control of hybrid power system
(2007)
In this thesis, we present a Hierarchical control of Hybrid Power Systems (HPS) that consist of a Wind Turbine, Photovoltaic Panels, connection to the AC utility, a Battery Bank, and a zonal model of a load. The hierarchical ...
An algorithm for retrieval of optical properties, bathymetry and benthic cover in shallow waters from hyperspectral imagery
(2005)
Hyperspectral imagery has been shown to be a powerful technology for quantitative monitoring of shallow water coastal environments. In coastal remote sensing, to estimate sea bottom properties from hyperspectral imagery, ...
Iterative algorithms for abundance estimation on unmixing of hyperspectral imagery
(2004)
Hyperspectral sensors collect hundreds of narrow and contiguously spaced spectral bands of data organized in the so-called hyperspectral cube. The spatial resolution of most Hyperspectral Imagery (HSI) sensors °own nowadays ...
Electro-thermal modeling of a power electronic module
(2004)
An electrothermal model for a power electronic module is presented. The model is developed by representing the internal thermal behavior of the module as a RC network using an electrical circuit equivalent for the thermal ...
A reconfiguration algorithm for a dc zonal electric distribution system based on graph-theory methods
(2009)
In many applications, self contained Electric Power Distribution Systems (EPDS) require high survivability under fault conditions. A fault produces an immediate change in the system topology resulting in potential loss of ...
A multiagent system approach for a self-reconfigurable electric power distribution system
(2006)
Electric power distribution systems (EPDS) can be found almost everywhere, from ship power systems to data centers. In many critical applications, it is necessary to maintain minimal operating capabilities under fault ...
Improving nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithms for hyperspectral data
(2010)
Dimensionality reduction is a key step in hyperspectral image processing due to the large amount of data. Linear and nonlinear approaches have been proposed. The most important parameters on the majority of nonlinear ...
Design of a reconfiguration controller for a dc zonal distribution system
(2005)
The use of DC Zonal System (DCZEDS) is evaluated as a potential simulation testbed for self-reconfigurable control research in electric power distribution systems. The DCZEDS is a SIMULINKTM implementation of a Ship DC ...
