AbstractIn this paper, a simple and fast approach is suggested for fault detection in transmission lines. The proposed technique utilizes a modified cumulative sum approach for a modal current to identify faults. The modal current is derived by proper linear mixing of three-phase currents. Since different types of faults may occur in transmission lines, all three-phase currents should be considered during fault analysis. By converting three-phase currents to a modal current, the processing time is reduced and less memory is needed. In this paper, a modal current is processed instead of three-phase currents. The modified cumulative sum approach presented in this paper is capable of decreasing computational burdens on the digital relay and accelerating the fault detection procedure. The proposed fault detection technique is evaluated in four different systems. Moreover, some real recorded field data were deliberated in the efficiency assessment of the proposed method. The results denote high accuracy and quickness of the proposed approach. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed methodology is compared with some other similar methods from different aspects.

In this paper, we propose an obstacle detection approach that uses a facet-based obstacle representation. The approach has three main steps: ground point detection, clustering of obstacle points, and facet extraction. Measurements from a 64-layer LiDAR are used as input. First, ground points are detected and eliminated in order to select obstacle points and create object instances. To determine the objects, obstacle points are grouped using a channel-based clustering approach. For each object instance, its contour is extracted and, using an RANSAC-based approach, the obstacle facets are selected. For each processing stage, optimizations are proposed in order to obtain a better runtime. For the evaluation, we compare our proposed approach with an existing approach, using the KITTI benchmark dataset. The proposed approach has similar or better results for some obstacle categories but a lower computational complexity.

Paper proposes a method for detecting general obstacles on a road by subtracting present and past in road cycling camera images. The image-subtraction-based object detection approach can be applied to detect any kind of obstacles although the existing learning based methods detect only specific obstacles. To detect general obstacles, the proposed method first computes a frame-by-frame correspondence between the present and the past in-road cycling camera image sequences, and then registries road surfaces between the frames. Finally, obstacles are detected by applying image subtraction to the redistricted road surface regions with a vision insensitive feature for robust detection. Experiments were conducted by using several image sequences captured by an actual in-road cycling camera to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results shows that the proposed method can detect general obstacles accurately at a distance enough to avoid them safely even with different situations.
