Application of differential evolution for cascaded multilevel VSI with harmonics elimination PWM switching

Harmonic elimination pulse width modulation (HEPWM) method has been widely applied to multilevel voltage source inverter (MVSI) to remove low frequency harmonics from its output voltage. However, the computation of the HEPWM switching angles for MVSI is very challenging due to several constraints, namely angle sequencing, very tight angular spacing and the numerous possibilities of angles distribution ratio. Realizing the potential of Differential Evolution (DE) to handle complex problems, this work proposes its application to solve the HEPWM problem for cascaded MVSI. Its emphasis is on improving the availability of HEPWM for higher output voltage by extending the maximum range of modulation index (M). It also removes the discontinuities in the switching angles and reduces the number of distribution ratio required to obtain the required solution. Compared to the most advanced (similar) work, i.e., 7-level MVSI with seventeen switching angles, DE covers a wider range of M; the maximum achievable M is 2.80. Furthermore, it exhibits very low second order distortion factor (DF₂): for the worst case, the value of DF₂ is 0.0014%. To verify the viability of the proposed algorithm, simulation is carried out and hardware prototype is constructed. Both results show very good agreement with the theoretical prediction.

High-quality low-complexity wavelet-based compression algorithm for audio signals

Wavelets have recently emerged as a powerful tool for signal compression, particularly in the areas of image, video, and audio compression. In this paper, we present a low-complexity wavelet-based audio compression algorithm that is capable of handling fairly arbitrary audio sources. The algorithm transforms the incoming audio data into the wavelet domain, and compresses data by exploring redundancy in the wavelet coefficients and exploiting the large runs of zeros in the transformed signal. Also there is a possibility of applying a threshold to the non-zero coefficients, thus a further increase in the number of zeros is expected. The audio signal is first preprocessed to scale down the wavelet coefficients. Then the preprocessed signal is wavelet transformed using a bi-orthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and threshold by applying energy compaction strategy. Encoding represents the threshold coefficients in compact form. A new encoding technique that is easy to implement, and that provides a reasonable compression ratio for a certain acceptable distortion level has been developed to encode the threshold DWT. So, a bit rate can be controlled such that the algorithm operates at virtually any pre-selected bit rate. The motivation of using the bi-orthogonal wavelet transform is that it permits the use of a much broader class of filters, and this class includes symmetric linear phase filters. The superior performance of this algorithm is also demonstrated by comparing it with two other popular audio compression techniques and this meets the requirements of multimedia computing.

Multilevel augmentation algorithms based on fast collocation methods for solving ill-posed integral equations

This paper continues the theme of the recent work Chen et al. (2008) [18], in which fast collocation methods are introduced for solving ill-posed Fredholm integral equations of the first kind. We develop in this paper multilevel augmentation algorithms, which lead to fast solutions of the discrete equations resulting from fast collocation methods. Regularization parameter choice strategies are given for proposed methods. The theoretical analysis and numerical experiments illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm.

An analysis of the transition proportion for binarization in handwritten historical documents

In this paper, we will present a mathematical analysis of the transition proportion for the normal threshold (NorT) based on the transition method. The transition proportion is a parameter of NorT which plays an important role in the theoretical development of NorT. We will study the mathematical forms of the quadratic equation from which NorT is computed. Through this analysis, we will describe how the transition proportion affects NorT. Then, we will prove that NorT is robust to inaccurate estimations of the transition proportion. Furthermore, our analysis extends to thresholding methods that rely on Bayes rule, and it also gives the mathematical bases for potential applications of the transition proportion as a feature to estimate stroke width and detect regions of interest. In the majority of our experiments, we used a database composed of small images that were extracted from DIBCO 2009 and H-DIBCO 2010 benchmarks. However, we also report evaluations using the original (H-)DIBCO?s benchmarks.     

可重构移位单元的设计与实现

在对称密码算法中移位操作使用频率非常高,尤其是在密钥生成中的应用。但各种算法之间的移位位宽和移位长度并不一致,所以现有的密码处理系统中还没有一个通用的移位单元支持所有对称密码算法的移位操作。本文在研究了多种对称密码算法的基础上,分析了高效灵活实现移位单元的方法,并提出了一种基于多级网络的可重构移位单元,它可以支持4/8/28/32/128-bit移位位宽以及可变移位长度的移位操作。此单元的设计与实现,不仅增强了密码处理单元的通用性,还使得可重构密码芯片的实现成为可能。
