Digital image processing of weathered stone for determining the optimum cleaning level of stonework (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Humanyun, R., Zhang, H., & Zhang, B. (2012, July). Digital image processing of weathered stone for determining the optimum cleaning level of stonework. Presented at 14th International Conference and Exhibition on Structural Faults and Repair

In this study, the authors introduced a new image component sampling technique that can be used to evaluate level of cleaning of weathered masonry stone for historic buildings. The proposed technique is based on the Standard Pattern (SP). The images... Read More about Digital image processing of weathered stone for determining the optimum cleaning level of stonework.

Diagnosis of rotor asymmetries in wound rotor induction generators operating under varying load conditions via the Wigner-Ville Distribution. Presented at International Symposium on Power Electronics Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, Automation and Motion

Fault diagnosis in wind generators is drawing
increasing attention among the scientific community and
maintenance companies, due to the crucial contribution of
this renewable power source in the electric power
generation map. These machines usual... Read More about Diagnosis of rotor asymmetries in wound rotor induction generators operating under varying load conditions via the Wigner-Ville Distribution.

Using network analysis metrics to discover functionally important methods in large-scale software systems (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pakhira, A., & Andras, P. (2012). Using network analysis metrics to discover functionally important methods in large-scale software systems. In 2012 3rd International Workshop on Emerging Trends in Software Metrics (WETSoM) (70-76)

In large-scale software systems that integrate many components originating from different vendors, the understanding of the functional importance of the components is critical for the dependability of the system. However, in general, gaining such und... Read More about Using network analysis metrics to discover functionally important methods in large-scale software systems.
