In this paper, a design method to detect faults in plants with uncertainties is proposed. When a plant has faults, the plant will be corrupted by an unknown fault signal. In addition, the plant also includes uncertainties, such as disturbances and plant parameter deviations. In this case, the proposed method estimates the fault signal by using an adaptive observer. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

Solar energy has proven to be a potential clean energy source to help offset the large consumption of fossil. Nowadays, many research projects aim to enhance photovoltaic (PV) system performance and functionality. This research focuses on integrating self-monitor capability into dc-dc converters that control PV panels to detect a fault in series-connected PV cells, called hot spotting. A detection method using ac parameter characterization is proposed and its operation is examined through simulation.

In this study, the image processing program for deducing parameters of the elliptic shape of the partially overlapped liquid droplets was developed using the randomized Hough transform and the parameter decomposition. The procedure for the shape detection consists of three steps. For the first step, the candidate centers of ellipses are determined by the geometric property of the ellipse. Next, the rest parameters are estimated by the randomized Hough transform. In the final step for the post-processing, optimally approximated parameters of ellipses are determined. The developed program was applied to the simulated overlapped ellipses, real overlapped droplets, and real spray droplets. The shape detection was very excellent unless there existed inherent problems in original images. Moreover, this method can be used as an effective separating method for the overlapped small particles.

This paper presents a novel method to speed up neural network (NN) based face detection systems. NN-based face detection can be viewed as a classification and search problem. The proposed method formulates the search problem as an integer nonlinear optimization problem (INLP) and expands the basic particle swarm optimization (PSO) to solve it. PSO works with a population of particles, each representing a subwindow in an input image. The subwindows are evaluated by how well they match a NN-based face filter. A face is indicated when the filter response of the best particle is above a given threshold. To achieve better performance, the influence of PSO parameter settings on the search performance was investigated. Experiments show that with fine-adjusted parameters, the proposed method leads to a speedup of 94 on 320${\times}$240 images compared to the traditional exhaustive search method.

Edge detection is an important process in low level image processing. But many proposed methods for edge detection are not very robust to the image noise and are not flexible for different images. To solve the both problems, an algorithm is proposed which eliminate the noise by mean shift algorithm in advance, and then adaptively determine the double thresholds based on gradient histogram and minimum interclass variance, With this algorithm, it can fade out almost all the sensitive noise and calculate the both thresholds for different images without necessity to setup any parameter artificially, and choose edge pixels by fuzzy algorithm.

In this study, the leak detection technique of pressure vessel by using acoustic emission(AE) signal is suggested experimentally. The leak of pressure vessel is located at the welding line due to welding defects. we measured the AE signal using Rl5I sensor, and examined the AE parameters in leak condition. It is investigated that the mean value of AE signal is dependent on leak source location. So the absolute mean value of AE signal is adopted as dominant AE parameter. We proposed leak detection algorithm using AE signal mean value for monitoring the leak source location.

A new method of knock detection in SI engines, using a change of ion concentration in the combustion chamber, was developed. In order to measure in-cylinder ionization current, ionization probes were installed at spark plug and cylinder head of production engine. It was found that the electric current generated by ionized gas in core burned gas region of knocking cycle is between 2 and 10 times larger than that of normal cycle, because the burned gas temperature which is the dominant parameter of a change of ion concentration increases. However, a change of ionization current in boundary region of burned gas is relatively weak. Hence a change of ion concentration in core burned gas region can be used for knock detection.

The edges of an image hold much of the information in that image. The edges tell where objects are, their shape and size, and something about their texture. An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to a high value. We introduce the edge detection using the differential operator with Sobel operator and describe a nonparametric Wilcoxon test based on statistical hypothesis testing for the detection of edges. This paper proposes an efficient edge detection using Van der Waerden's statistic in original and noisy images. We use the threshold determined by specifying significance level a and an edge-height parameter. Comparison with our statistical test and Sobel operator shows that Van der Waerden method perform more effectively in both noisy and noise-free images.
