Abstract

The distance protection relays are used to determine the impedance based fault location according to the current and voltage magnitudes in the transmission lines. However, the fault location cannot be correctly detected in mixed transmission lines due to different characteristic impedance per unit length because the characteristic impedance of high voltage cable line is significantly different from overhead line. Thus, determinations of the fault section and location with the distance protection relays are difficult in the mixed transmission lines. In this study, 154 kV overhead transmission line and underground cable line are examined as the mixed transmission line for the distance protection relays. Phase to ground faults are created in the mixed transmission line. overhead line section and underground cable section are simulated by using PSCAD-EMTDC.The short circuit fault images are generated in the distance protection relay for the overhead transmission line and underground cable transmission line faults. The images include the R-X impedance diagram of the fault, and the R-X impedance diagram have been detected by applying image processing steps. Artificial neural network (ANN) and the regression methods are used for prediction of the fault location, and the results of image processing are used as the input parameters for the training process of ANN and the regression methods. The results of ANN and regression methods are compared to select the most suitable method at the end of this study for forecasting of the fault location in transmission lines.

VideoPulse: Neonatal heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) estimation from contact free video

Remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) enables contact free monitoring of vital signs and is especially valuable for neonates, since conventional methods often require sustained skin contact with adhesive probes that can irritate fragile skin and increase infection control burden. We present VideoPulse, a neonatal dataset and an end to end pipeline that estimates neonatal heart rate and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) from facial video. VideoPulse contains 157 recordings totaling 2.6 hours from 52 neonates with diverse face orientations. Our pipeline performs face alignment and artifact aware supervision using denoised pulse oximeter signals, then applies 3D CNN backbones for heart rate and SpO2 regression with label distribution smoothing and weighted regression for SpO2. Predictions are produced in 2 second windows. On the NBHR neonatal dataset, we obtain heart rate MAE 2.97 bpm using 2 second windows (2.80 bpm at 6 second windows) and SpO2 MAE 1.69 percent. Under cross dataset evaluation, the NBHR trained heart rate model attains 5.34 bpm MAE on VideoPulse, and fine tuning an NBHR pretrained SpO2 model on VideoPulse yields MAE 1.68 percent. These results indicate that short unaligned neonatal video segments can support accurate heart rate and SpO2 estimation, enabling low cost non invasive monitoring in neonatal intensive care.

Synthetic Fingerprints for Children Under Four: Generation and Biometric Evaluation

Fingerprint recognition in children under four is of interest for longitudinal identity applications, but research in this age range is constrained by the limited availability and sensitivity of real fingerprint data. Synthetic data may provide a useful complementary resource if generated samples are carefully evaluated for biometric quality, similarity to the real training data, and identity diversity. This paper presents an evaluation and selection protocol for synthetic fingerprints generated from a small pediatric dataset. The protocol was applied to 32,000 candidates produced by an age-conditioned generator fine-tuned with 205 fingerprints from nine children. Candidates were evaluated using NFIQ 2, NBIS minutiae extrac-tion and matching, fingerprint-pattern classification, similarity to the complete real reference set, and pairwise similarity among retained synthetic samples. After candidate filtering and a final symmetric pairwise verification, 1,985 synthetic fingerprints remained. The youngest age group continued to produce retained samples within the sampling budget, whereas the oldest original age group produced 24 retained prints. A data-derived two-group age representation improved pattern-distribution agreement for the younger group. Repeated renderings of fixed synthetic iden-tities produced minutiae-based mated scores comparable to the real mated scores, although a DINOv2 texture representation showed substantially greater within-generator similarity. The results indicate that synthetic pediatric fingerprints can support controlled research use, but their evaluation should include both real-to-synthetic similarity and synthetic-to-synthetic diversity, and conclusions should remain specific to the matchers and measurements used.

Adaptive Color Grading

Independent control of tonescale regions (e.g., shadows, highlights) is essential for painters, photographers and cinematographers to bring 2D images to life. In image manipulation software this is most directly addressed by color grading modules, which use intensity thresholds to segment distinct illumination regions for local manipulation. In this work we develop an open source color grading tool and use it to annotate a large dataset of video frames with tonescale region thresholds. Using these thresholds we conduct modeling experiments with strategies based on both practitioners' conventional wisdom and machine learning. Results show that K-nearest neighbors is an effective prediction strategy, outperforming state-of-the-art end-to-end methods for image enhancement. This outcome demonstrates the benefit of focusing on a compact set of core parameters when modeling creative stylization processes. Our adaptive color grading interface and data are available at https://github.com/SamsungLabs/adaptive-color-grading.
