Item type:Publication, Automatic exudate extraction for early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy(2013-01-01) ;Sreng, Syna ;Takada, Jun Ichi; ; Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most common cause of blindness in diabetic patients, but early detection and timely treatment can prevent this problem. Exudates have been found to be one of the signs and serious DR anomalies so the proper detection of these lesions and the treatment should be done immediately to prevent loss of vision. The aim of this study is to automatically detect these lesions in fundus images. To achieve this goal, the proposed method first preprocesses to improve the quality of fundus image, and then Optic Disc (OD) is detected and eliminated to prevent the interference to the result of exudate detection by combination of 3 methods; image binarization, Region Of Interest (ROI) based segmentation and Morphological Reconstruction (MR). Next, exudates are detected by applying the maximum entropy thresholding to filter out the bright pixels from the result of OD region eliminated. Since the result contains some noises which appear as bright light at the edge of fundus area in some images, that affect is considered and eliminated to improve the result of false positive. Finally, exudates are extracted by using MR. The proposed technique has been tested on 100 fundus images from hospital. Experimental results show that 91 % of exudate is extracted correctly with the average process of 3.92 second per image. © 2013 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Performance and Behavior Analysis of Single-Electrode Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Energy Harvesting Floor Tiles(2020-06-01) ;Yingyong, Phonexai ;Thainiramit, Panu; A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a promising candidate for harvesting the wasted energy from the ambient environment and utilizing it as an independent power source for batteries used in wearable and portable devices as well as sensing systems. This paper investigated the performance and behavior of triboelectric energy harvesters based on energy harvesting floor tiles by applying different mechanical input parameters such as contact gap, velocity, and vibration frequency to characterize the electrical characteristics while maintaining the applied pressure of 600 kPa and temperature. The results revealed that massive air gap displacement tends to generate higher electrical output. This demonstrated that the device could generate 2294.14 μW of optimal power and 95.50 μJ of total energy in 10 s at the mechanical excited frequency of 2 Hz with a fixed gap displacement of 5 mm. Moreover, the output power is proportional to the velocity of the cover plate movement. In contrast, varying the relative humidity (%RH) showed that the TENG could generate high electrical output at low relative humidity. The proposed work demonstrates that the TENG can function as an energy-harvesting device from low-frequency mechanical vibration for energy harvesting floor tiles. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A Comparative Study of the Electrical Characteristics of Piezoelectric and Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Energy-Harvesting Floor Tiles(2020-06-01) ;Yingyong, Phonexai ;Thainiramit, Panu; ;Janphuang, PattanaphongPiezoelectric and Triboelectric nanogenerators (PENG and TENG) have gained significant attention for use in self-powered electronics and sensing systems. They also have high potential to harvest energy from low-frequency vibration sources in the ambient environment. This paper investigated the performance and behavior of the two aforementioned nanogenerators based on energy-harvesting floor tiles by using a test bench to demonstrate the electrical characteristics output and comparing their power density output, energy density output, and other properties for characterization and scale-up in practical applications. The input used in the experiment varied the gap distance of the cover plate for the test bench with constant pneumatic pressure to excite the cover plate. The experimental results showed that the power density and energy density of PENG were higher than those of the TENG. The power density and energy density measured in 10 s under 2 Hz of input excitation of PENG and TENG at the gap width of 5 mm were 5773.35 μW/cm3, 1376.26 μJ/cm3 and 752.34 μW/cm3, 31.32 μJ/cm3, respectively. Due to their high output density, they enable promising possibilities to power small consumption electronics and sensing systems. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, DC motor control using CDM based two-degree-of-freedom controller for desired tracking and disturbance rejection characteristics(2012-12-01)This paper focuses on a design of two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) controller by Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM) for position control of a DC motor. It is known that the 2DOF control system can be designed to meet both tracking and disturbance rejection performances, which are the most important for the position control system. Nevertheless, it requires tuning of many parameters. The CDM is an efficient method in designing the parameters of 2DOF controller based on the stability and the speed of the controlled system so that the desired performance criteria can be met. By the proposed design method, the parameters of 2DOF controller for a DC motor control system are obtained properly without any adjustment. Furthermore, the tracking and disturbance rejection performances are simultaneously designed. The results reveal the versatility of the CDM tuning technique in the position control of a DC motor. © 2012 ICROS. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Primary screening of diabetic retinopathy based on integrating morphological operation and support vector machine(2017-07-02) ;Sreng, Syna; ; ;Hamamoto, KazuhikoPanjaphongse, RonakornDiabetic retinopathy is one of the most frequent causes of blindness due to diabetes. Primary screening is essential due to prerequisite step toward the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in order to prevent vision loss or blindness. This paper presents the methods to discriminate between healthy images and diabetic retinopathy images on the retinal images. The proposed method involves three main steps. Initially, the image is preprocessed to remove small noises and enhance the contrast of the image. Secondly, Kirsch edge detection is utilized to detect the bright lesions. Subsequently, the red lesions are detected depending on top-hat morphological filtering methods. Then the bright and dark lesions are combined by using logical AND operator. In order to be left only pathological signs, the noises near the vicinity of the optic disc and blood vessels are further removed using blob analysis. Finally, morphological features are extracted and fed to the SVM classifier. The proposed method was evaluated with three datasets containing 229 images. It achieved the accuracy of 90%, sensitivity of 86.33% and specificity of 98.55% with the average computational time 8 seconds per image. The method is simple and fast, easy to implement and the result is promising.
