Radiographic images are needed to make classification between the defected welds and correct one. The emphasis of study to develop the method which is adaptive in nature for feature extraction and using this adaptive feature the optimal classification is the outcome of efficient classifier. Automation assists the radiologist to avoid the disaster because of weld defects. Inspection of defected parts by certified expert can be subjective and time consuming and some types of defects could remain undetected due to lack of time. In our study some of the most common defects will be observed for classification purpose from the radiographic images.

Engineer, Tanveer Abbas Sr. Engineer, DEE, PIEAS. Mobile: 0343-5064047 Fax: kamran@pieas.edu.pk Project Details Synopsis The aim is to develop a distance measurement system using a laser transmitter, laser receiver and a corner reflector. The idea is that a modulated (on-off keying) laser signal is transmitted from using a laser source, and a corner reflector at the target point will reflect it back towards the transmitter and a laser sensor will detect it. Time delay between the transmitted and received signal is measured using phase difference and/or correlation. The time delay is then recorded by a microcontroller and displayed on a screen. The time delay can be measured accurately in analog electronics, and then converted to digital format. The application of this equipment for measuring distance, in throwing events in athletics, will need some additional calculations and angle measurement as required in triangulation.

Therefore, scientists and engineers are looking for alternate power resources which include solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, hydrogen fuel etc. Wind turbines are used to convert the wind energy into electrical power. Fault tolerant control of wind turbines is an active field of research. The first step in fault tolerant control is fault detection and isolation, which is being carried out by a student. Once the faults have detected, the process of fault tolerant control is started. This thesis is focused towards fault tolerant control of wind turbines. Fax:

Negative Correlated Component Analysis for Image Denoising


Theoretical/Experimental/Computational

*define %age of work to be done in PIEAS or at some other place Supervisor Information Name of supervisor and designation Department\Division and Organization Contact Email address Dr Nansir Mehmood Rajpoot University of Warwick UK Dr Muhammad Arif, Department of Electrical Engineering, PIEAS. nasir@dcs.warwick.ac.uk Project Details Synopsis Component analysis, defined as the extraction of components that small subimages of a given image are made up of, has been a topic of research in signal and image analysis in recent years. Most of the research effort has focused on independent component analysis (ICA) though. The idea of negative correlated component analysis (NCCA), which extracts not only independent components but components that are as negatively correlated to and as far away from each other as possible, was recently developed by some members of Dr Rajpoots COMBI research group at Warwick. The main objectives of this project are to develop a software system for NCCA, conduct large-scale experiments on image denoising using NCCA, and do a comparative analysis of the experimental results with other state-of-the-art methods. A good grasp of programming in MATLAB, a keen interest in image processing, and good familiarity with image processing, statistics, and signal processing toolboxes are key pre-requisites for this project. The student undertaking this project will have to achieve the project objectives and write a research paper (aside from writing the dissertation which can be an extended version of the paper) to the satisfaction of both local and foreign supervisors.

Efficient Analysis of Multi-Gigapixel Tissue Images of Natural-Killer Cells

*define %age of work to be done in PIEAS or at some other place Supervisor Information Name of supervisor and designation Department\Division and Organization Contact Email address Dr Nansir Mehmood Rajpoot University of Warwick UK Dr Muhammad Arif, Department of Electrical Engineering, PIEAS. nasir@dcs.warwick.ac.uk Project Details Synopsis Researchers understanding the pathology of a disease phenomenon are experiencing a revolution in the way they analyze the human tissue samples at the microscopic level. Digital slide scanners, which are capable of producing microscopic level images of a histopathology slide, are becoming ubiquitous nowadays. A major challenge in processing these images though is the sheer size of these images, approximately 100K x 100K pixel resolution. In a joint research project with researchers at Warwick Medical School, we are embarking on the automatic quantitative analysis of such large-scale images of Natural Killer (NK) cells. The main objectives of this project are to develop a working software system for quantitative analysis of these images. The required analysis may involve detection and segmentation of thousands of individual cells in the images using, but not limited to, novel algorithms developed by Dr Rajpoots Bioimage Computing Lab at Warwick. Excellent command of programming in C++ and/or MATLAB, a keen interest in image processing and analysis for biomedical applications, and some familiarity with visual programming (OpenGL) in C++ and/or image processing, statistics, and parallel computing toolboxes are key pre-requisites for this project. The student undertaking this project will have to achieve the project objectives and write a research paper (aside from writing the dissertation which can be an extended version of the paper) to the satisfaction of both local and foreign supervisors.

The mechanical design of the setup is quite fine, however, the old electronics is not working. This makes such a expensive setup useless. The student will design the electronics hardware for the DC servo system. Furthermore, the student will create interface of the system with computer so that digital control experiments could also be performed. Fax:

Project Details Synopsis


Wireless communication is growing at a furious pace. Due to steady increase of new wireless services and standards, single purpose devices with dedicated hardware resources can no longer meet the users needs. It is also expensive to upgrade and maintain a wireless system each time a new standard comes into existence. A feasible solution to make communication systems more flexible and user friendly can be achieved through the Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept. Software defined radio refers to the class of reprogrammable or reconfigurable radios in which the same piece of hardware can perform different functions at different times.

In this project, a multi-standards SDR model will be designed and implemented in FPGA using Xilinx system generator technique. The goal of this project is to mimic an ideal SDR based communication system. The developed system will be tested and analyzed by varying various system parameters.

Application Areas: Wireless Communications

Project Details Synopsis


Many studies have revealed that in the long term, the radio channel resource remains deeply underutilized during certain periods of time. In a cognitive network, secondary users (SU) are allowed to operate in licensed bands to primary users (PU) as long as they do not cause interference to the primary transmissions. Cognitive SU detect and track the unused portions of spectrum. Spectrum sensing is extremely important to detect existing transmissions and decide reliably at which frequency and time, the spectral holes are located.

Currently, GA, GP, SVM and ANN based modern optimization techniques are being used extensively. These optimization techniques solve such problems by performing a direct search of the best solution among sets of candidates. These techniques evaluate their fitness according to the objective/s of the problem.

Project Details Synopsis A structure 3-DOF UAV Hover using three rotors has been designed. Auto pilot control of roll , pitch, yaw and height are to be the primary features. This projects aims at first developing light weigh dc brushless drives for the 3 brush less motors on the hover and then to design and implement kalman filtering techniques to accurately sense the roll and pith using accelerometers. This work should then be followed by designing simulating and then implementing proper controllers to control roll pith, yaw of the UAV under unconstrained hover conditions. A highly motivated individual with sound understanding in applied electronics, instrumentation, and Applied control is required. Should posses skills in Matlab, C & C51.
