Protection Schemes for Maintaining the Coordination Time Interval Between the Relays in Micro-grid
Conventional power system alone cannot meet the ever growing needs of electrical power in the world in a reliable manner. Under these circumstances, large penetration of Dis- tributed generators in the distribution level ... -
Visual Speech Recognition
Visual speech recognition (VSR), or automatic lip-reading, is the task of extracting speech information from visual input. The addition of visual speech has been shown to improve the performance of traditional audio ... -
Multiview Registration Using Rank-Constrained Semide nite Programming
We consider the problem of reconstructing a 3D surface from its multiview scans. Typically, the computational pipeline for this problem has two phases: (I) finding point-to-point correspondences between overlapping scans, ... -
Robust Risk Minimization under Label Noise
In the setting of supervised learning, one learns a classi fier from training data consisting of patterns and the corresponding labels. When labels of the examples in training data have errors, it is referred to as label ... -
Strategies for Handling Large Vocabulary and Data Sparsity Problems for Tamil Speech Recognition
This thesis focuses on the design and development of every building block of a very large vocabulary, continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system and various experiments conducted in order to enhance its performance. ... -
Total Electric Field due to an Electron Avalanche and it's coupling to Transmission Line Conductors
Transmission of bulk electric power from the generating stations to the load centres can be carried out only through high voltages transmission lines. One of the main issues in the design and maintenance of extra and ... -
Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Rigid Registration
In this thesis, we consider the rigid registration problem, which arises in applications such as sensor network localization, multiview registration, and protein structure determination. The abstract setup for this problem ... -
Improved Generative Models for Zero-shot object recognition
Recognizing objects from their images automatically using computers is an important research area in the computer vision community. In this scenario, the testing images are automatically classified into one of the classes ... -
Pronunciation assessment and semi-supervised feedback prediction for spoken English tutoring
Spoken English pronunciation quality is often influenced by the nativity of a learner, for whom English is the second language. Typically, the pronunciation quality of a learner depends on the degree of the following four ... -
Cross-Modal Retrieval and Hashing
The objective of cross-modal retrieval is to retrieve relevant items from one modality (say image), given a query from another modality (say textual document). Cross-modal retrieval has various applications like matching ... -
Soft Switched Multilevel Unidirectional High Frequency Link DC to AC Converter for Medium Voltage Grid Integration of Solar Photovoltaics
Grounding the frame of photovoltaic (PV) panel is a necessity for the safety of humans. This leads to the formation of large capacitance between PV cells and ground. Hence, to reduce leakage current due to parasitic ... -
Kernel-Based Image Filtering: Fast Algorithms and Applications
Image filtering is a fundamental preprocessing task in computer vision and image processing. Various linear and nonlinear filters are routinely used for enhancement, upsampling, sharpening, reconstruction, etc. The focus ... -
Devanagari Online Handwritten Character Recognition
In this thesis, a classifier based on local sub-unit level and global character level representations of a character, using stroke direction and order variations independent features, is developed for recognition of ... -
Sampling of Structured Signals: Techniques and Imaging Applications
The celebrated Shannon sampling theorem is a key mathematical tool that allows one to seamlessly switch between the continuous-time and discrete-time representations of bandlimited signals. Sampling and reconstruction of ... -
Modeling, Characterization, Control and Design of Switched Reluctance Machines
Switched reluctance machines (SRM) are permanent magnet free, and have a simple rotor construction with no current carrying parts. These are particularly suitable for high-temperature and high-speed applications. However, ... -
AlGaN/GaN Heterojunction Based Hall Sensors for Magnetic Field Sensing over Wide Temperature Range
Hall sensor has proved to be an attractive solution for sensing requirements in electric machines for direct measurement of fields or indirect estimation of physical quantities such as current, speed and torque. Current ... -
Geometric Calibration and Shape Refinement for 3D Reconstruction
This thesis is a contribution towards the methods of 3D reconstruction in computer vision. Most of the 3D reconstruction methods are based on either the principle of triangulation or the principle of photometry. In this ... -
Unidirectional High-Frequency-Link DC to Three-Phase AC Conversion: Topology, Modulation and Converter Design
In recent years, stringent restrictions on greenhouse gas emission due to the present global warming scenario is driving governments and power utilities worldwide behind electricity generation using renewable energy ... -
One-Shot Coordination of First and Last Mode Service in Multi-Modal Transportation
In this thesis, we propose a coordination of the rst and last mode connectivity in a multi- modal transportation system. In particular, we consider a one-shot problem wherein the passengers must be transported to or ... -
Power Electronic Converters for Condition Monitoring and Voltage Equalization of Batteries
Power converters are used in battery-based storage systems in many applications. Apart from the task of regulating the charging and discharging, the power electronic converters can also help to monitor battery condition ...
