Feature detection and description are key ingredients of common image processing and computer vision applications. Most existing algorithms focus on robust feature matching under challenging conditions, such as inplane rotations and scale changes. Consequently, they usually fail when the scene is blurred by camera shake or an object's motion. To solve this problem, we propose a new feature description algorithm that is robust to image blur and significantly improves the feature matching performance. The proposed algorithm builds a feature descriptor by considering the integral projection along four angular directions ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $135^{\circ}$) and by combining four projection vectors into a single highdimensional vector. Intensive experiment shows that the proposed descriptor outperforms existing descriptors for different types of blur caused by linear motion, nonlinear motion, and defocus. Furthermore, the proposed descriptor is robust to intensity changes and image rotation.

In this paper. we design a robust optimal controller for ultra-precision positioning system. Generally, it is hard to control the nanometric scale positioning system because of the parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. To solve this problem. we suggest a control algorithm based on the modified sliding-mode control and the LQ control in an augmented system. The augmented system is composed of additional state variables: state estimates and control input in the nominal system. Through comparison with LQ optimal control, it is verified that the proposed control algorithm is more robust to the unexpected parameter variations and external noises.

This paper describes a robust adaptive sliding mode control (RASMC) for torque ripple minimization of switched reluctance motor (SRM) using it in automotive application. The objective is to control effort smoothness while the system is under perturbations by unstructured uncertainties, unknown parameters and external disturbances. The control algorithm employs an adaptive approach to remove the need for prior knowledge within the bound of perturbations. This is suitable for tackling the chattering problem in the sliding motion of sliding mode control method. The algorithm then incorporates modifications in order to build a chattering-free modified robust adaptive sliding mode control using Lyapunov stability theory.

This study proposes technology using Active Shape Model to track the object separating it by depth-sensors. Unlike the common visual camera, the depth-sensor is not affected by the intensity of illumination, and therefore a more robust object can be extracted. The proposed algorithm removes the horizontal component from the information of the initial depth map and separates the object using the vertical component. In addition, it is also a more efficient morphology, and labeling to perform image correction and object extraction. By applying Active Shape Model to the information of an extracted object, it can track the object more robustly. Active Shape Model has a robust feature-to-object occlusion phenomenon. In comparison to visual camera-based object tracking algorithms, the proposed technology, using the existing depth of the sensor, is more efficient and robust at object tracking. Experimental results, show that the proposed ASM-based algorithm using depth sensor can robustly track objects in real-time.

The physical parameters of controlled systems are uncertain and are accompanied with nonlinearity. The transfer function of the controlled system should, therefore, be expressed by interval polynomials. This paper describes the realization of robust performance for that type of control system (interval system) via model reference feedback. First, we will analyze an invariance problem of dynamic characteristics such that the dominant roots do not break away from a specified circular area, and will present a discrimination algorithm (i.e., a division algorithm) for the extreme points of the uncertain coefficients. Then, we will present a design method of control systems which have a robust performance such that the location of the dominant roots dose not vary excessively.

The efficient representation and encoding of signals with limited resources, e.g., finite storage capacity and restricted transmission bandwidth, is a fundamental problem in technical information processing systems. Typically under realistic circumstances, the encoding and communication of message has to deal with different sources of noise and disturbances. In this paper, I propose a unifying approach to data compression by robust vector quantization, which explicitly deals with channel noise, and random elimination of prototypes. The resulting algorithm is able to limit the detrimental effect of noise in a very general communication scenario. In this paper, based on the robust vector quantization I have an experiment about speech coding.

In this paper, a robust pole placement controller for time invariant linear systems with polytopic uncertainties is presented. The proposed controller is a fixed order output feedback controller which stabilizes the uncertain systems and satisfies the constraints on the closed-loop pole location. The proposed controller can be obtained by minimizing a certain nonlinear object function subject to linear matrix inequality constraints. An algorithm for solving the nonlinear optimization problem is also proposed.

In this paper, a robust Sliding Mode Variable Structure (SMVS) controller is designed for Active Queue Management (AQM). This type of controller is insensitive to noise and variance of the parameters, thus it is suitable to time varying network systems. Simulation results conform the robust performance of SMVS controller against the disturbance. At the same time, a complete comparison between SMVS and PI controllers is made. The conclusion is that both transient and steady state performance of SMVS controller is better than that of PI one.

In this paper, we propose a robust and fragile watermarking technique for tamper proofing of still images. Robust watermarks are embedded by quantization with a robust quantization step-size, and it is imperceptible value for human visual system. Fragile watermarks are embedded by thresholding and quantization with EW(Embedded Zerotree Wavelet) algorithm. The proposed method enables us to distinguish malicious change from non-malicious change. Futhermore this technique enables us to find tampering regions and degrees.

In this paper a robust hybrid control algorithm for n-link nonredundant robot manipulators is proposed. This scheme includes an estimation law for the upper bound on the uncertainty such that robust control input is updated as a function of the estimated upper bound. The uniform ultimate boundedness of the tracking error is generated by the Lyapunov based theory.
