This paper illustrates a simple, yet effective semi-automated object segmentation framework over video sequences. This is through an extension of the GrowCut framework, an image segmentation scheme based on cellular automata. We describe how GrowCut is extended to video sequences, as well as providing our own improvements and addressing problematic areas to the original formulation. This provides...
Linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs) have great attractive force. This force can be used as levitation force. In general, LSRMs are divided in two types: 1) longitudinal flux LSRMs 2) transverse flux LSRMs. Two phase single-sided longitudinal flux and transverse flux LSRMs are considered. This paper presents that longitudinal flux LSRM produces greater attractive force and it needs lesser amount...
The Internet is an interconnection of Autonomous Systems (ASes) of which many are controlled by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). ASes use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to communicate routing information to each other. BGP does not allow a network to control how its traffic is routed. As a result, traffic belonging to a specific network can be intentionally dropped as it is routed by BGP through...
In this paper, a motion and balance control scheme is introduced for inverted pendulums using artificial neural network (ANN). The control strategy uses a trade-off strategy to achieve motion tracking and balance control simultaneously with a single controller. Unlike other neural control strategies, no offline learning or a priori system's dynamics knowledge is required. The controller is trained...
In Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) networks, the number of traffic engineered tunnels or Label Switched Paths (LSPs) setup has an impact on network state maintenance, administration and scalability. In today's MPLS standards, for the purpose of path computation and signaling, multiple traffic classes carried together of a given service of a customer are treated individually. This work looks into...
