Model of Temperature Dependence Shape of Ytterbium -doped Fiber Amplifier Operating at 915 nm Pumping Configuration

Author 1: Abdel Hakeim M Author 2: Fady I. EL-Nahal

We numerically analyze the temperature dependence of an ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier (YDFA) operating at 915 nm, investigating its gain and Noise Figure properties variation with temperature. The temperature-dependent gain and noise figure variation with YDFA length are numerically obtained for the temperature range of +20 0C to +70 0C. The… Read full abstract & cite →

Route Maintenance Approach For Link Breakage Prediction In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Author 1: Khalid Zahedi Author 2: Abdul Samad Ismail

Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) consists of a group of mobile nodes that can communicate with each other without the need of infrastructure. The movement of nodes in MANET is random; therefore MANETs have a dynamic topology. Because of this dynamic topology, the link breakages in these networks are something… Read full abstract & cite →

A Statistical Approach For Latin Handwritten Digit Recognition

Author 1: Ihab Zaqout

A simple method based on some statistical measurements for Latin handwritten digit recognition is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a preprocess step is started with thresholding the gray-scale digit image into a binary image, and then noise removal, spurring and thinning are performed. Secondly, by reducing the search space, the… Read full abstract & cite →

Plant Leaf Recognition using Shape based Features and Neural Network classifiers

Author 1: Jyotismita Chaki Author 2: Ranjan Parekh

This paper proposes an automated system for recognizing plant species based on leaf images. Plant leaf images corresponding to three plant types, are analyzed using two different shape modeling techniques, the first based on the Moments-Invariant (M-I) model and the second on the Centroid-Radii (C-R) model. For the M-I model… Read full abstract & cite →
