Published: April 2019

Background/Objectives: Image stitching can enhance the picture very pleasant by modifying and mixing the different aspects.Therefore, we present panoramic image stitching with efficient brightness fusion which is challenging in different bright sequences taken from different angles.Methods/Statistical analysis:For the problem of brightness, the input image is mixed with sequential images in different brightness.In this works, we proposed atechnique that blends multiple brightness using simple quality measures like color, saturation and contrast.The resulting image quality is good, and most important thing is, the method is efficient since it is simple. Thanthe resulting fused images is applied for panorama image stitching. We used multiband blending to prevent the blurring, and BRIEF (binary robust independent elementary features) method for feature descriptors. We solved the multi-image matching problem using Hamming Distanceusing the binary string based descriptors which is most similar features compare with the second most similar images.We proposed FLANN based matcher to get the more accurate results for using large datasets. We estimate Homography with the matching images using RANSAC algorithms.Findings:An effective structure is performed when we are able to resolve the brightness correction in expose too much or expose for too short a time and the appearance ghost. To solve the unification of brightness, we have collected the input images in different exposures, and selection of the good parts of each picture to an input image for stitching.We removed the blurring from input images, and solved multi-image matching using Hamming distance method. We found better results comparing other methods. For large dataset, we used FLANN based matcher, and estimated the Homography using RANSAC algorithm.Improvements/Applications:We have shown the performance of panoramic image stitching with efficient brightness fusion. We performed stitching with high regulationimages. Finally, we were able to create a panoramic image with efficient brightness fusion.Â Â

Published: April 2019

A composite mixture of Metco 105 SFP, 99.9% Al2O3 and Metco 201 NS, ZrO2.5CaO were blended in the pursuit of high hardness and improved wear resistance characteristics for tribological applications. In this context a composite mixture of alumina and calcia stabilized zirconia in 50:50 by wt. % proportion was developed, and applied over Al-6061 substrates. Atmospheric plasma spray coating technique was used to develop the coating systems. The ASTM G132 standard, a pin-on-disk tribometer was used to determine the specific wear rate at different normal loads of 5 N, 10 N and 15 N. Experimental results revealed that the top coat primarily subjected to sliding and localized abrasion and also confirmed with SEM micrograph. Sliding has mainly occurs in the plane of <111>, <200>, <220>, <311>, <222> found in the XRD analysis. Irrespective of the applied normal loads the coefficient of friction doesn’t influences much in the abrasive wear studies. However, wear mechanism was found to primarily dependent on the phases and on the crystallographic structure of the material used.

Published: April 2019

Electricity is a basic need for the daily life of everyone, and it serves as the main driver for the economic growth in any country. Coal-fired Electricity generation forms the major share of energy resources in the world. In India, Coal-fired electricity generation represents about 78% of the total power generation in the country. Coal reserve is fast depleting in the world. This situation has necessitated many countries in the world to opt for Distributed Generation (DG), using renewable sources of energy, to meet, the growing demand for electricity and to meet the depleting situation of Coal. In the past, some studies have been carried out by the Researchers using different types of DG systems. This study considers installation of PV systems, making use of the abundant availability of Solar Energy Resources. Appropriate sitting and sizing of DGs could lead to many positive effects for the distribution systems concerned. However, at the same time, inappropriate sitting and sizing of DGs could lead to many negative effects on the distribution systems concerned, such as the voltage profiles, beyond permissible limits and increased network losses. Therefore, it becomes necessary to allocate DGs at optimal locations with optimal sizing. This paper presents the results of the study carried out in a 400 V distribution system as well as in an 11-kV feeder in the Kanchipuram Distribution System in Tamil Nadu, India. This paper also presents the economic impact of the system with PVCs regarding Internal Rate of Return (IRR)for the investment made.

Single image based training has given for few number of iterations in the development of mapping process. It is observed that proposed method has self adjusted content aware oriented edge detection where as many existing methods like Sobel, Prewitt have shown their limitations in observing the edges associated with contents having similar shade in the surroundings.
Effects of Slip, Brownian Motion and Thermophoresis on Peristaltic Pumping of Nano Fluid in an Asymmetric Channel with Porous Medium
Authors: Sreenadh S. , Yasodhara G. , Sumalatha B. , N.S.Srinivas A. 
Published: April 2019

This paper deals with peristaltic motion of electrically conducting nanofluid in a tapered asymmetric channel through a porous medium in presence of heat and mass transfer under the effect of slip conditions. The problem is reduced mathematically by a set of nonlinear partial differential equations which describe the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and concentration of nanoparticles. The non-dimensional form of these equations is simplified under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The coupled governing equations are solved analytically. The expressions for velocity, stream function, temperature and concentration are derived. The results have been presented graphically for the various interested emerging parameters and the obtained results are discussed in detail. It is observed that the magnitude of the velocity decreases in the middle of the channel while it increases near the channel walls with an increase in the non-uniform parameter It is also noticed that the nanoparticle temperature increases with increasing thermal slip parameter . The present result coincides with the findings of Kothandapani and Prakash [19].

Authors: Pujianto Utomo , . . 
Published: April 2019

Data imbalance is one among characteristics of software quality data sets that can have a negative effect on the performance of software defect prediction models. This study proposed an alternative to random under-sampling strategy by using only a subset of non-defective data which have been calculated as having biggest distance value to the centroid of defective data. Combined with random forest classification, the proposed method outperformed both the random under-sampling and non-sampling method on the basis of accuracy, AUC, f-measure, and true positive rate performance measures.
Enhancement of the Ductility Index of Concrete Pavement Using Moderate-Volume of Hybrid Fibers
Authors: Sahib Banyhussan Qais 
Published: April 2019

The concrete used in highway structures such as pavements, bridge approach slabs or bridge decks are deteriorated much faster rate than other concrete structures due to environmental and traffic loads leading to sudden failure and/or more cracking potential. The present paper investigates experimentally the development of ductile concrete mixtures. Twenty-four mixtures with three types of fibers (PVA, Hocked steel fiber and Nylo-mono) were used. River sand as a fine aggregate and coarse aggregate with a maximum aggregate size of (9.5 mm) were adopted. Fly ash was used as a replacement of Portland cement with three ratios. Compressive and flexural strengths tests were achieved at different curing ages (7, 28 and 90 days) to determine the stress and ductility indexes. The results show that due to more fly ash content there is an increase in the stress index and decrease in the ductility index for mixtures containing 1% steel and 1% PVA fibers by volume. In addition, the results demonstrated that using of Nylo-mono enhances the ductility index better than PVA. Finally, the use of 2% by volume hybrid fiber (PVA0.5+Steel.0%+Nylo-mono 0.5) achieved a ductile concrete mixture that has a ductility index nine times higher than that of plain concrete.
