Training of Radial Basis Function Using Particle Swarm Optimization |
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population based optimization technique developed by Dr. Eberhart and Dr. Kennedy in 1995, inspired by social behavior of bird flocking or fish schooling. It is a computational method that optimizes a problem by iteratively trying to improve a candidate solution with regard to a given measure of quality. It is an optimization of continuous nonlinear functions that are used to find the best solution in problem space.. In this paper, this nature inspired behaviour has been considered to optimise the neural network i.e Radial Basis Function by PSO. The RBF is a Neural Network. It is based on moving or directed along the radius. Radial Basis Function emerged as a variant of artificial neural networks in late 80's. RBF's are embedded as two layer neural network, where each hidden unit implements a radial activated function. The output units implement a weighted sum of hidden unit outputs. In order to use a Radial Basis Function Network we need to specify the hidden unit activation function, the number of processing units, a criterion for modeling a given task and a training algorithm for finding the parameters of the network. Finding the RBF weights is called network training. If we have at hand a set of input-output pairs, called training set, we optimize the network parameters in order to fit the network outputs to the given inputs. The fit is evaluated by the cost function. By means of training the neural network models the underlying the function of the certain mapping. In order to model such a mapping we have to find the network weights. In Radial Basis Function parameters are found such that they minimize the cost function.

Development to Improve the Image Quality by Super Resolution Representation of Low Resolved Image | ||||||||||||
Image compression remains a pure research objective in image processing from the evaluation of imaging applications. Various image compression algorithms were suggested in past with the objective of higher compression or better accuracy or both with regard to achieving compression for better accuracy. Where lossy schemes were proposed for compression architecture with high data rate, they compromise with obtained error limit. System where accuracy is prime factor lossy compression schemes cannot be used and demands for a lossless compression scheme. Various compression schemes were proposed in past for the achievement of data compression in lossless manner for both colored and gray scale images. In case of a practical image compression the image is captured from the camera and passed to the coding architecture before storage. The image information saved, are pixels represented in lower resolution so as to acquire lower memory dimension. When retrieving the image data this information‟s are to be regenerated on to higher resolution for accurate representation. Presentation of the colored pixel information in higher resolution generated from a lower resolution provides a lower visual quality. In this paper we focus on the development of an approach to improve the image quality by super resolution representation of low resolved image. To valuate the work we develop it on Matlab tool and test on various images. air pixel, Matlab

Multimodal Biometric Authentication Combining Finger Vein and Finger Print | ||||||||||||
Bio-Metric is a process of identifying a person using physiological and behavioural features. Physiological features are Iris recognition, DNA matching, hand vein identification, finger print identification and behavioural features are voice recognition, signature, password, keystroke etc. Since Unimodal systems are having drawbacks, in this paper we are focusing into Multimodal biometric systems. Multimodal biometric systems have been widely used to achieve high recognition accuracy. Among various multimodality options, fingerprint and finger vein has gained much attention to combine accuracy, universality and cost efficiency of the solution. In this paper a new approach is employed to improve the authentication. The system simultaneously acquires the finger vein and low resolution fingerprint images and combines these two evidences using a two new score level combination strategy i.e., holistic and nonlinear fusion.

Thermo-Hydraulic Performance of a Roughened Square Duct Having Inclined Ribs with a Gap on Two Opposite Walls | ||||||||||||
Experimentation has been carried out to find the influence of a gap provided in ribs on thermohydraulic
performance of a square duct roughened with discrete inclined ribs. The two opposite walls of the square duct are roughened with ribs having attack angle (α) of 450 and a gap on its length. The investigation has been performed for relative roughness pitch (p/e) of 10, relative roughness height (e/Dh) of 0.060 and Reynolds number is varied in the range of 5000-40,000. The other rib parameters; relative gap position (d/W) and relative gap width (g/e) is varied in the range of 1/4 – 2/3(4 steps) and 0.5 – 1.5 (3 steps) respectively. The comparative study of various cases shows that the ribs with a gap considerably enhance the value of thermohydraulic performance for the range of parameters considered for the study. Presence of inclined ribs with a gap yields about 2.1-fold enhancements in thermo-hydraulic performance as compared to smooth duct. The maximum value of thermo-hydraulic performance parameter is noted for relative gap width of 1.0 and the relative gap position of 1/3.

Cost Benefit Modelling of Solar Energy Technology |
The fundamental economic reality of fossil fuels is that such fuels are found only in a relatively small number of locations across the globe, yet are consumed everywhere. The economic reality, by contrast, is that solar resources are available, in varying degrees, all over the world. Therefore, this study concentrates on solar power as a renewable source of energy. It has many benefits compared to fossil fuels. It is clean and green, non-polluting and everlasting energy. For this reason it has attracted more attention than other alternative sources of energy in recent years. It tries to throw light on the cost of solar energy devices like solar water heaters and solar photovoltaic street light etc. and their benefits to households and corporate. Hence primary data has been collected through interview and questionnaire methods. The result of the study shows that benefits accrued from the 100 LPD solar water heaters definitely yields not only profit to the individual who owns the module but also to the society by way of pollution free environment.

Design and Implementation of Compensator for Optimizing Linear Time Invariant System Parameters | ||||||||||||
Most of control systems in vogue are Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems and are characterized by several parameters such as settling time, over shoot and rise time etc. Optimization of these parameters is required to meet the desired system response and smooth operation of the system. In this paper, an optimization based compensator is designed and implemented for a closed loop LTI system and the system response is observed both in time and frequency domain. The compensator is designed using optimization technique so that the control system meets the system specifications. The LTI system model consisting of gain, limited integrator and a delay unit is considered for optimization. The controller is tuned using Ziegler-Nichols open loop tuning algorithm to optimize mainly settling time, rise time and percentage of over shoot. The feasible and optimal solutions within the specified tolerances of these parameters are obtained and presented.

Application of Acoustic Emission Technique in Various Field |
This paper reviews applications of acoustic emission sensing techniques in machining. Originally applied to non-destructive testing of structures but now Acoustic Emission Signals are proving to be an effective tool for monitoring of the machining process due to its sensitivity to process parameters. The source of AE is attributed to the release of stored elastic energy that manifests itself in the form of elastic waves that propagate in all directions on the surface of a material. These detectable AE waves can provide useful information about the health condition of a machine and the process. This paper gives some background of acoustic emission and its application in various field .Special emphases on its application in monitoring of machining Process.

Electron Density Profiles In Metallic Surfaces |
This paper takes a look at the properties of electron density profiles at the metal surfaces; this was
done by calculating the properties in the bulk, at the surface and just outside the metal surface using the
equations proposed by Kiejna and Wojciechowski. The results obtained shows that; in the bulk of metals,
electron density profile depends inversely on the concentration of the electrons and also on the binding energy
of the metal as binding energy per electron exhibit the same trend. It decays and saturates exponentially towards
the bulk. Electron density profile, metallic surfaces.
