<span>In this paper, the problem of finding local extrema in grayscale images is considered. The known non-maximum suppression algorithms provide high speed, but only single-pixel extrema are extracted, skipping regions formed by multi-pixel extrema. Morphological algorithms allow to</span><span>extract all extrema but its maxima and minima are processed separately with high computational complexity by iterative processing based on image reconstruction using image morphological dilation and erosion. In this paper a new fast efficient non-maximum suppression algorithm based on image segmentation and border analysis is proposed. The proposed algorithm considers homogeneous areas, which are formed by multi-pixel extrema and are the local maxima or minima in relation to adjacent areas, eliminating iterative processing of non-extreme pixels and assigning label numbers to local extrema during their search. The proposed algorithm allowed to increase the accuracy of local extremum extraction in comparison with known non-maximum suppression algorithms and reduce the computational complexity and the use of RAM in comparison with the morphological algorithms.</span>
<p><span>Direct-current (DC) motor is a commonly used motor; its speed is directly affected by applying mechanical load. This paper proposes the design of wide speed-load range controller for a direct-current (DC) shunt motor based on proportional–integral–derivative (PID controller) with genetic system for controller parameters adjusting. The genetic based PID controller is simulated by using Matlab software package and tested with different sudden load values and different working speeds. A present control loop contains the suggested PID controller also Pulse-Width-Modulation PWM generator and H-bridge inverter. With the genetic system enhancement to parameters of developed PID controller, the results demonstration that this controller has great impact to preserve the profiles of the motor speed and produced torque after applied sudden load, and its intensification the motor performance at different speed and load conditions.</span></p>
The Induction Motors (IM) speed widely influenced due to various motor loading conditions. When the load is apply the motor speed is reduce from the reference speed. This work present Matlab simulation of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller incorporating with Neural Network for IM speed controls. The motor speed response profile under this control is improved and still constant at the point of load applied. Also this controller stilled operates efficiently at wide range of operating frequency when compared with traditional PI controller.
This paper focuses on motion which is considered an important issue for insect robots, which consumes significant energy sources in general. We inspired the robot design structure from the challenges that crawling insects face in nature, especially a cockroach. The proposed robot configuration enhanced error scale such as energy modulation, computation, and mass. This paper presents the design and construction of six-legged robot with minimum number of trigger motors and the movement mechanisms used for the leg movements. The insect robot resembles a cockroach in shape and size (1.6 cm × 4 cm) and can move at rates of up to 3.5 cm per second. The robot can operate for up to 260 minutes. Additionally, it has a camera that can rotate more than 60 degrees in response to commands from a smartphone. The 160×120 pixels monochrome "first person" camera transmits video to a Bluetooth radio at a distance of up to 120 meters away at a frame rate of 1 to 5 per second.
