Design and Implementation of Trans-Z-Source Inverter
Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper presents the impedance-source (Z-source) inverters concept to the transformer-based Z-source (trans-Z- source) inverters. The original Z-source inverter (ZSI) contains an impedance network of two inductors and two capacitors connected in a unique arrangement to interface the dc source and the inverter. It has buck and boost function that cannot be achieved by traditional voltage-source inverters and current- source inverters. In the proposed trans-Z-source inverter, the impedance network …

Underwater Image Enhancement and Edge Detection
Abstract: A hybrid image enhancement and edge detection algorithm for underwater images is proposed in this paper. The proposed enhancement algorithm augments the image quality and suppresses noise in underwater images. The novel edge detection process is centered on the pixel phase information present in images, thereby leading to edge pixels that are illumination invariant. Since, illumination influences a major portion of information in underwater images, subjective analysis of the proposed …
