Modeling Marine Electromagnetic Survey with Radial Basis Function Networks
A marine electromagnetic survey is an engineering endeavour to discover the location and dimension of a hydrocarbon layer under an ocean floor. In this kind of survey, an array of electric and magnetic receivers are located on the sea floor and record the scattered, refracted and reflected electromagnetic wave, which has been transmitted by an electric dipole antenna towed by a vessel. The data recorded in receivers must be processed and further analysed to estimate the hydrocarbon location and dimension. To conduct those analyses successfuly, a radial basis function (RBF) network could be employed to become a forward model of the input-output relationship of the data from a marine electromagnetic survey. This type of neural networks is working based on distances between its inputs and predetermined centres of some basis functions. A previous research had been conducted to model the same marine electromagnetic survey using another type of neural networks, which is a multi layer perceptron (MLP) network. By comparing their validation and training performances (mean-squared errors and correlation coefficients), it is concluded that, in this case, the MLP network is comparatively better than the RBF network[1].[1] This manuscript is an extended version of our previous paper, entitled Radial Basis Function Networks for Modeling Marine Electromagnetic Survey, which had been presented on 2011 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 17-19 July 2011, Bandung, Indonesia
Crisp set implementation on video images for the application of surveillance systems
Observing moving objects in far field’s video surveillance is one of the main application areas in computer vision.The strong interest in this research direction is driven by creating full automotive surveillance applications.This paper presents implementing a crisp set on video images in order to evaluate human activities in far field’s surveillance systems.Reducing the storage capacity in surveillance systems is discussed also
in this paper.The concept is based on extracting two powerful attributes from objects motion, namely velocity and pixel frequency distribution. This step followed by combining the measurements mentioned above via crisp set rules in order to evaluate the active section in the image plane and to determine the suitable storing rate. The experimental results proved the efficiency of the novel approach
Maximum Likelihood Inference for Univariate Delay Differential Equation Models with Multiple Delays
This article presents statistical inference methodology based on maximum likelihoods for delay differential equation models in the univariate setting. Maximum likelihood inference is obtained for single and multiple unknown delay parameters as well as other parameters of interest that govern the trajectories of the delay differential equation models. The maximum likelihood estimator is obtained based on adaptive grid and Newton-Raphson algorithms. Our methodology estimates correctly the delay parameters as well as other unknown parameters (such as the initial starting values) of the dynamical system based on simulation data. We also develop methodology to compute the information matrix and confidence intervals for all unknown parameters based on the likelihood inferential framework. We present three illustrative examples related to biological systems. The computations have been carried out with help of mathematical software: MATLAB® 8.0 R2014b
An Assessment on the Non-Invasive Methods for Condition Monitoring of Induction Motors
The ability to forecast motor mechanical faults at incipient stages is vital to reducing maintenance costs, operation downtime and safety hazards. This paper synthesized the progress in the research and development in condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of induction motors. The motor condition monitoring techniques are mainly classified into two categories that are invasive and non-invasive techniques. The invasive techniques are very basic, but they have some implementation difficulties and high cost. The non-invasive methods, namely MCSA, PVA and IPA, overcome the disadvantages associated to invasive methods. This book chapter reviews the various non-invasive condition monitoring methods for diagnosis of mechanical faults in induction motor and concludes that the instantaneous power analysis (IPA) and Park vector analysis (PVA) methods are best suitable for the diagnosis of small fault signatures associated to mechanical faults. Recommendations for the future research in these areas are also presented

Data Mining and Warehousing Approaches on School Smart System: A Conceptual Framework
Data warehouse is a database with tools that stores current and historical data of potential interest. One of them which, will be investigated in this paper, is the state school data. Mining or analyzing data extract from such system would be interesting for possible smart school application. This paper looks at the framework of virtual smart school implementation based on students' exam results
Bio-Signal Identification using Simple Growing RBF-Network (OLACA)
An enhanced online adaptive centre allocation algorithms (or resource allocation network (RAN)) using simple/stochastic back-propagation method with minimal weight update variant are developed for direct-link radial basis function (DRBF) networks. These algorithms are developed primarily for applications with fast sampling rate which demands significant reduction in computation load per iteration. The new algorithms are evaluated on a chaotic nonlinear biological based time series signals such as electroencephalographic (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG). The EEG and ECG signals not only shows non-stationary behaviour but also large oscillation or changes. When the sample time is in milliseconds, both neural network adaptation and weight update must take place within the short time frame thus any learning rule must be computationally simple. The second order techniques, such as extended Kalman filter (EKF), need large amount of memory O(N2) and computationally intensive. The main goal of this paper is to develop a simple back-propagation based (SBP) resource allocation network (RAN), or also known as sequential learning technique using Radial Basis Function by incorporating Gaussian kernel, in order to identify (model) EEG and ECG signals. Simulation results show the modeled data show good representation of the original signals with less prediction error
