The objective of this paper is to design the variable structure system(VSS) controller for the tracking control of excavator which is driven by electro-hydraulic servomechansim. It is generally agreed that the dynamic characteristics of the robot arm such as excavator are coupled, time varying, and highly nonlinear, and also hydraulic system contains nonlinear characteristics in itself, so performing exact position control and trajectory tracking control need remarkable consideration. To solve this porblem, this system was designed as a variable structure system. The salient feature of VSS is that the sliding mode occur on a switching surface. While in sliding mode, the system remains insensitive to parameter variations and disturbances. This control algorithm was applied to a hydraulic excavator by simulaltion and to a simulator by experiment. And its effectiveness was verified. And the results of VSS for the electro-hydraulic excavator was compared with that of the PID when load disturbances and system parameter variations exist.

This paper deals with the fault diagnosis problem in uncertain linear systems having undermodelling, linearization errors and noise inputs. The new approach proposed in this paper uses an appropriate test variable and the difference between system parameters which are estimated by the least squares method to locate the fault. The singular value decomposion is used to decouple the correlation between the estimated system parameters and to observe the trend of parameter changes. Some simulations applied to aircraft ergines show good allocation of the fault even though the system model has significant uncertainties. The feature of the approach is to diagnose the uncertain system through simple parameter operations and not to need complex calculations in the diagnosis procedure as compared with other methods.

This wear debris can be harvested from the lubricants of operating machinery and its morphology is directly related to the damage to the interacting surfaces from which the particles originated. The morphologies of the wear particles are therefore directly indica- rive of wear processes occuring in machinery and their severity. The neural network was applied to identify wear debris generated from the lubricated moving system. The four parameter(50% volumetric diameter, aspect, roundness and reflectivity) of wear debris are used as inputs to the network and learned the friction condition of five values(material 3, applied load 1, sliding distance 1). It is shown that identification results depend on the ranges of these shape parameter learned. The three kinds of the wear debris had a different pattern characteristic and recognized the friction condition and materials very well by neural network. We dicuss how the network determines difference in wear debris feature, and this approach can be applied to condition diagnosis of the lubricated moving system.

In this paper, we consider to apply of 2-DOF (Degree of Freedom) PID controller at D.C servo motor system. Many control system use I-PD, PID control system, but the position control system have difficulty in controling variable load and changing parameter. We propose neural network 2-DOF PID control system having feature for removal disturbrances and tracking function in the target value point. The back propagation algorithm of neural network used for tuning the 2-DOF parameter ($\alpha$, $\beta$, ${\gamma}$, η). We investigate the 2-DOF PID control system in the position control system and verify the effectiveness of proposal method through the result of computer simulation.

There has been many research efforts to overcome the problems of speech recognition in the noisy conditions. Among them, the model-based compensation methods such as the parallel model combination (PMC) and vector Taylor series (VTS) have been found to perform efficiently compared with the previous speech enhancement methods or the feature-based approaches. In this paper, a data-driven model compensation approach that adapts the HMM(hidden Markv model) parameters for the noisy speech recognition is proposed. Instead of assuming some statistical approximations as in the conventional model-based methods such as the PMC, the statistics necessary for the HMM parameter adaptation is directly estimated by using the Baum-Welch algorithm. The proposed method has shown improved results compared with the PMC for the noisy speech recognition.

Deafs cannot speak straight voice as normal people in lack of feedback of their pronunciation, therefore speech training is required. In this study, fundamental frequency, intensity, formant frequencies, vocal tract graphic and vocal tract area function, extracted from speech signal, are used as feature parameter. AR model, whose coefficients are extracted using inverse filtering. is used as speech generation model. In connect ion between vocal tract graphic and speech parameter, articulation distances and articulation distance functions in selected 15-intervals are determined by extracted vocal tract areas and formant frequencies.

Background compensation plays an important role in detecting and isolating object motion in visual tracking. Here, we propose a Genetic Hough Transform, which combines the Hough Transform and Genetic Algorithm, as a method for eliminating background motion. Our method can handle cases in which the background may contain only a few, if any, feature points. These points can be used to estimate the motion between two successive frames. In addition to dealing with featureless backgrounds, our method can successfully handle motion blur. Experimental comparisons of the results obtained using the proposed method with other methods show that the proposed approach yields a satisfactory estimate of background motion.

Although the general sliding model control has the robust property, bounds on the disturbances and parameter variations should be known a prior to the designer of the control system. However, these bounds may not be easily obtained. Fuzzy logic provides an effective way to design a controller of the system with disturbances and parameter variations. Therefore, combination of the best feature of the fuzzy logic control and the sliding mode control is considered. In this paper, the adaptive fuzzy variable structure controller developed for variables of fuzzy logic. A variable length pendulum system is used to demonstrate the availability of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes a line-to-ground fault location algorithm for underground cable system. A feature of the proposed method is a new algorithm based on the analytic research which has not been tried until now. The proposed method firstly makes voltage and current equations using analysis of distributed parameter circuit for each of cores and sheathes respectively, and then establishes an equation of the fault distance according to the analysis of the fault conditions. Finally the solution of this equation is calculated by Newton-Raphson iteration method. The effectiveness of this proposed algorithm has been proven through PSCAD/EMTDC(Ver. 4.1) simulations.

In this paper, we address practical methods for calculating camera lens distortion for real time applications. Although the lens distortion problem can be easily ignored for constant-parameter lenses, in the field of real-time camera calibrations, for zoom lenses a large number of calculations are needed to calculate the distortion. However, if the distortion can be calculated independently of the other camera parameter, we can easily calibrate a camera without the need for a large number of calculations. Based on Tsai's camera model, we propose two different methods for calculating lens distortion. These methods are so simple and require so few calculations that the lens distortion can be rapidly calculated even in real-time applications. The first method is to refer to the focal length - lens distortion Look Up Table(LUT), which is constructed in the initialization process. The second method is to use the relationship between the feature points found in the image. Experiments were carried out for both methods, results of which show that the proposed methods are favorably comparable in performance with non-real full optimization method.
