This paper discusses the problem of positive real control for uncertain 2-D linear discrete time singular Roesser models (2-D SRM) with time-invariant norm-bounded parameter uncertainty. The purpose of this study is to design a state feedback controller such that the resulting closed-loop system is acceptable, jump modes free and stable, and achieves the extended strictly positive realness for all admissible uncertainties. A version of positive real lemma for the 2-D SRM is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on the lemma, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the positive real control problem is derived in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs) and an iterative procedure for solving the BMIs is proposed.

In this paper, we propose a switching control method for 2nd order nonlinear systems. The main idea behind the method is changing the control law before the trajectory of the solution arrives at the singularities imposed on the denominator of the control law. We show that the control system is asymptotically stable from the fact that the sector consisting of the singular hyperplanes is an invariant set. Illustrative examples are given.

Current two-dimensional (2D) augmented reality (AR) devices present virtual image and information to a fixed focal plane, regardless of the various locations of ambient objects of interest around the observer. This limitation can lead to a visual discomfort caused by misalignments between the view of the ambient object of interest and the visual representation on the AR device due to a failing of the singular fusion. Since the misalignment becomes more severe as the depth difference gets greater, it can hamper visual understanding of the scene, interfering with task performance of the viewer. Thus, we analyzed the range of singular fusion (RSF) of AR images within which viewers can perceive the shape of an object presented on two different depth planes without difficulty due to the failure of singular fusion. It is expected that our analysis can inspire the development of advanced AR systems with low visual discomfort.

This paper describes a fuzzy-based system for analyzing the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of three-dimensional (3D) cracks. 3D finite element method(FEM) was used to obtain the SIF for subsurface cracks and surface cracks existing in inhomogeneous materials. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy theory. Nodes are generated by the bucketing method, and ten-noded quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. The singular elements such that the mid-point nodes near crack front are shifted at the quarter-points, and these are automatically placed along the 3D crack front. The complete FE model is generated, and a stress analysis is performed. The SIFs are calculated using the displacement extrapolation method. The results were compared with those surface cracks in homogeneous materials. Also, this system is applied to analyze cladding effect of surface cracks in inhomogeneous materials.

This paper proposes a switching control method applicable to any affine, 2nd order nonlinear system with single input. The key contribution is to develop a control design method which uses a piecewise continuous Lyapunov function non-increasing at every discontinuous point. The proposed design method requires no restrictions except full state availability. To obtain a non-increasing, piecewise continuous Lyapunov function, we change the sign of off-diagonal term s of the positive definite matrix composing the former Lyapunov function according to the sign of the Inter-connection term. And we use the solution of inequalities which guarantee each Lyapunov function is non-increasing at any discontinuous point.

대부분의 얼굴인식 시스템은 현재 2차원 영상을 기반으로 많은 분야에 응용되고 있다. 그러나 2차원 얼굴인식 시스템은 심하게 변화된 얼굴 포즈에 강인한 얼굴인식이 매우 어렵다. 이에 얼굴 포즈 추정은 정면 영상이 아닐 경우 인식률 향상을 위한 필수적인 과정이라 할 수 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문은 3차원 얼굴인식을 위한 새로운 얼굴 포즈 추정 방식을 제안한다 먼저 3차원 거리(range) 영상이 입력될 때 얼굴 곡선에 기반한 자동 얼굴 특징점 추출 기법을 적용한다. 추출된 특징점을 바탕으로 오류 보상 특이치 분해를 적용 한 새로운 3차원 얼굴 포즈 추정 방식을 제안한다. 특이치 분해를 이용하여 초기 회전각을 획득한 후 존재하는 오류를 보다 세밀하게 보상한다. 제안 알고리즘은 정규화된 3차원 얼굴 공간에서 추출된 특징점의 기하학적 위치를 이용하여 수행된다. 또한 3차원 얼굴인식을 위하여 3차원 최근접 이웃 분류기를 이용한 데이터베이스내에서 후보 얼굴을 선택하는 방식을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 다양한 얼굴 포즈에 대하여 제안 알고리즘의 효율성과 타당성을 검증하였다.

An accurate outdoor localization method using line/arc features is suggested for mobile robots with LRFs (Laser Range Finders) and odometry. Localization is a key process for outdoor mobile robots which are used for autonomous navigation, exploration and so on. In this paper, an accurate pose correction algorithm is proposed for mobile robots using LRFs, which use three feature types: line, circle, and arc. Using this method we can reduce the number of singular cases that robots couldn't find their pose. Finally we have got simulation results to validate the proposed algorithm.

We present our recent work published in the MNRAS (Lee and Kim, 2014). Numerical studies of the imaging and caustic properties of the singular isothermal sphere (SIS) under a wide range of external shear (from 0.0 to 2.0) are presented. Using a direct inverse mapping formula for this lensing system, we investigate various lensing properties for both low-shear (i.e. ${\gamma}$<1.0) and high-shear (i.e. ${\gamma}$ >1.0) cases. We systematically analyse the effective lensing cross-sections of double-lensing and quadruple-lensing systems, based on the radio luminosity function obtained by the Jodrell-VLA Astrometric Survey (JVAS) and the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS). We find that the limit of a survey selection bias (i.e. between brighter and fainter images) preferentially reduces the effective lensing cross-sections of two-image lensing systems. By considering the effects of survey selection bias, we demonstrate that the long-standing anomaly over the high quads-to-doubles ratios (i.e. 50~70 % for JVAS and CLASS) can be explained by the moderate effective shear of 0.16~0.18, which is half that of previous estimates. The derived inverse-mapping formula could make the SIS + shear lensing model useful for galaxy-lensing simulations.

In this paper, we propose a novel robust blind crypto-watermarking method for medical images security based on hiding of DICOM patient information (patient name, age...) in the medical imaging. The DICOM patient information is encrypted using the AES standard algorithm before its insertion in the medical image. The cover image is divided in blocks of 8x8, in each we insert 1-bit of the encrypted watermark in the hybrid transform domain by applying respectively the 2D-LWT (Lifting wavelet transforms), the 2D-DCT (discrete cosine transforms), and the SVD (singular value decomposition). The scheme is tested by applying various attacks such as noise, filtering and compression. Experimental results show that no visible difference between the watermarked images and the original images and the test against attack shows the good robustness of the proposed algorithm.

An efficient urban outdoor localization and navigation system is proposed for car-like robots. First an accurate outdoor localization method is suggested using line/arc features and 2.5D map matching with LRFs (Laser Range Finders), which can reduce the number of singular cases and increase accuracy. Also, path generation, path tracking, and path modification algorithms are proposed for navigation. All these algorithms are implemented on an electric scooter to construct an autonomous urban outdoor localization and navigation system. Experiments reveal the practicality of the proposed system.
