Abstract: Un-accurate modeling of power system may cause to under or over-design the insulation, which in turn, leads to increase in the investment and/or maintenance cost of the network protection against lightning overvoltages. The grounding system is an effective pa

Abstract: The intensity integration technique (IIT) is one of the simplest intensity-based image processing techniques used to determine the deformation field of a reflective specimen (1D or 2D) under loaded conditions. It works on the energy conservation principle. Th

Abstract: Wavelet transforms are widely used for texture feature extraction. For dyadic transform, frequency splitting is coarse and the orientation selection is even poorer. Laws’ mask is a traditional technique for extraction of texture feature whose main approach is
