scholarly journals Design of GPR for buried object Detection using Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Antenna

This paper deals the combination of image analysis and EM approach to predict the shape of the cavity detection for satellite remote sensing at 1GHz to 3GHz. The reconstruction of the shape is based on the mean image strength with measured reflectivity at any depth and then with image processing techniques deconvolution. For this purpose, a Vector Network Analyzer has been used along with a Ultra Wide Band antenna, using a stand it is mounted on the sand pit and when operated it moves over it.For a shallow buried object detection system based on image processing and electromagnetic theory, an algorithm has been proposed. The buried utility form is calculated for any depth that is important for the returned echo. Using image analysis and microwave remote sensing techniques to identify the shape of the various shallow buried objects, this approach will be quite helpful in developing an automatic satellite data based information system.

Detection and classification of buried objects is of great importance in underwater counterterrorism and archaeology. To penetrate the sediment, a low frequency intensive acoustic source is needed. Underwater plasma acoustic source (UPAS) with high voltage discharge has the advantage of adjustable pulse length, high source level output and no pollution to the environment, which can satisfy these needs. In this paper, we introduced the UPAS, including its basic mechanism, structure and pressure output. Then we build up an elastic wave propagation model, solved it with finite difference and staggered grid methods, and combined with certain source and boundary condition, we simulated and analyzed the pressure wave propagation in time domain with an aluminum cylinder buried in sediment, from the results we validated the effectiveness of UPAS in the application of buried object detection.

Warp tensions were measured while a machine was operating on a woven cotton fabric with three different woven patterns. This study was carried out with image analysis methods using a high speed camera. Three weave pattern types: plain, twill and satin were woven on the same weaving machine, and thus it could be understood how weave pattern differences affect warp tension. Each of these three weaves was woven in three weft densities: 20, 28 and 45 wefts per cm. These fabrics were able to be made on a weaving machine with an automatic dobby. It was aimed to investigate warp tension differences for three basic weave patterns while keeping all machine settings constant. The weave settings of the dobby were changed for plain, twill and satin weaves. Warp tension calculation was based on the warp elasticity theory. Warp elasticises were measured by image processing methods in MATLAB using a high-speed camera. It was aimed to improve upon the new method of warp extension measurement of fabric when the loom is in operation. It was observed that the warp tension in plain fabric was higher than for twill and satin under the same conditions.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing and deep learning provide a practical approach to object detection. However, most of the current approaches for processing UAV remote-sensing data cannot carry out object detection in real time for emergencies, such as firefighting. This study proposes a new approach for integrating UAV remote sensing and deep learning for the real-time detection of ground objects. Excavators, which usually threaten pipeline safety, are selected as the target object. A widely used deep-learning algorithm, namely You Only Look Once V3, is first used to train the excavator detection model on a workstation and then deployed on an embedded board that is carried by a UAV. The recall rate of the trained excavator detection model is 99.4%, demonstrating that the trained model has a very high accuracy. Then, the UAV for an excavator detection system (UAV-ED) is further constructed for operational application. UAV-ED is composed of a UAV Control Module, a UAV Module, and a Warning Module. A UAV experiment with different scenarios was conducted to evaluate the performance of the UAV-ED. The whole process from the UAV observation of an excavator to the Warning Module (350 km away from the testing area) receiving the detection results only lasted about 1.15 s. Thus, the UAV-ED system has good performance and would benefit the management of pipeline safety.

Lontar is a traditional Balinese manuscript with a Balinese script in it. Balinese traditional manuscripts can be more than 100 years old. The age factor of the Balinese manuscript has an impact on the Balinese script in it. Balinese script that has been written more than 10 years tends to be darker. This makes Balinese script not visible well, and this affects the image quality of the manuscript. This thing becomes the main issue in this research, Balinese script detection on Balinese manuscript images. the first of all is image processing using edge detection, canny and Sobel becomes the main algorithm of this process. After image processing, the Balinese manuscript will be processed with the findcontour method to detect an object that contains in it. The final process of this detection system is to separate detected objects into three main groups namely noise object, Balinese script object, and hole object. Application (Balinese script object detection system) is more accurate in detecting Balinese script objects in Balinese script under 1 year (new script), it tends to be more likely to find noise/dirt. This is because the writing of the lontar using a pencil first before using the knife media. This adds to the noise or dirt detected by the application The findcontour method can detect Balinese script objects with a detection result of 30% - 70% Balinese script objects.
