This paper presents control designs using neural networks (NN) for a XY positioning table. The proposed neurocontroller is composed of an outer PD tracking loop for stabilization of the fast flexible-mode dynamics and an NN inner loop used to compensate for the system nonlinearities. A tuning algorithm is given for the NN weights, so that the NN compensation scheme becomes adaptive, guaranteeing small tracking errors and bounded weight estimates. Formal nonlinear stability proofs are given to show that the tracking error is small. The proposed neuro-controller is implemented and tested on an IBM PC-based XY positioning table, and is applicable to many precision XY tables. The algorithm, simulation, and experimental results are described. The experimental results are shown to be superior to those of conventional control.

In this paper, the range difference based the moving target tracking problem using multiple UAVs is solved within the new framework of linear robust state estimation. To do this, the relative kinematics is modeled as an uncertain linear system containing stochastic parametric uncertainties in its measurement matrix. Applying the non-conservative robust Kalman filter for the uncertain system, a quasi-optimal linear target tracking filter is designed. For its recursive linear filter structure, the proposed method can ensure the fast convergence and reliable target tracking performance. Moreover, it is suitable for real-time applications using multiple UAVs.

A Snake is an active contour for representing object contours. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. However, if there is more than one object in the image, the snake model must be adaptive to determine the corresponding contour of each object. Also, the previous initialized snake contours risk getting the wrong results when tracking multiple objects in successive frames due to the weak topology changes. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we present a new snake method for efficiently tracking contours of multiple objects. Our proposed algorithm can provide a straightforward approach for snake contour rapid splitting and connection, which usually cannot be gracefully handled by traditional snakes. Experimental results of various test sequence images with multiple objects have shown good performance, which proves that the proposed method is both effective and accurate.

A novel robust $H_{\infty}$ switching tracking control design method with disturbance observer is proposed for the near space interceptor (NSI) with aerodynamic fins and reaction jets. Initially, the flight envelop of the NSI is divided into small subregions, and a slow-fast loop polytopic linear parameter varying (LPV) model is proposed, to approximate the nonlinear dynamic of the NSI, based on the Jacobian linearization and Tensor-Product (T-P) model transformation approach. A disturbance observer is then constructed, to estimate the modeled disturbance. Subsequently, based on the descriptor system method, a robust switching controller is developed, to ensure that the closed-loop descriptor system is stable with a desired $H_{\infty}$ disturbance attenuation level. Furthermore, the outcome of the proposed switching tracking control problem is formulated as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

This paper presents a neural network-based adaptive controller for a single flexible-link. The control for feedback-error loaming of neural network is designed by using the re-definition approach. The neural network controllers are implemented on an single flexible-link experimental test-bed. The tip response is significantly improved and the vibrations of the flexible modes are damped very fast. Experimental and simulation results are presented of the proposed tip position tracking controllers over the conventional PD-type, passive controllers.

Visual object tracking is one of the key tasks in computer vision. Robust trackers should address challenging issues such as fast motion, deformation, occlusion and so on. In this paper, we therefore propose a visual object tracking method that exploits inter-frame correlations of convolutional feature maps in Convolutional Neural Net (ConvNet). The proposed method predicts the location of a target by considering inter-frame spatial correlation between target location proposals in the present frame and its location in the previous frame. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art work especially in hard-to-track sequences.

We investigated the tracking and erosion resistance of the silicone rubber by Inclined-Plane Method. And, with the variation of the accelerated conditions such as the applied voltage and composition of contaminant, the change of the tracking characteristics according to such conditions was evaluated. The leakage current significantly increases with the increasing voltage, but the weight loss remains almost the same. The voltage above 5.0 kV isn't recommended because tracking breakdown occurs as fast as it does without erosion, and the typical discharge waveform was the form of rectifying wave.

In this paper a neural network controller for achieving maximum power tracking as well as output voltage regulation, for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) employing a permanent magnet synchronous generator is proposed. The permanent magnet generator (PMG) supplies a dc load via a bridge rectifier and two buck-boost converters. Adjusting the switching frequency of the first buck-boost converter achieves maximum power tracking. Adjusting the switching frequency of the second buck-boost converter allows output voltage regulation. The on-time of the switching devices of the two converters are supplied by the developed neural network (NN). The effect of sudden changes in wind speed and/ or in reference voltage on the performance of the NN controller are explored. Simulation results showed the possibility of achieving maximum power tracking and output voltage regulation simulation with the developed neural network controllers. The results proved also the fast response and robustness of the proposed control system.

This paper offers two Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) systems for Photovoltaic (PV) applications. The first MPPT method is based on a fixed frequency Model Predictive Control (MPC). The second MPPT technique is based on the Predictive Hysteresis Control (PHC). An experimental demonstration shows that the proposed techniques are fast, accurate and robust in tracking the maximum power under different environmental conditions. A DC/DC converter with a high voltage gain is obligatory to track PV applications at the maximum power and to boost a low voltage to a higher voltage level. For this purpose, a high gain Switched Inductor Quadratic Boost Converter (SIQBC) for PV applications is presented in this paper. The proposed converter has a higher gain than the other transformerless topologies in the literature. It is shown that at a high gain the proposed SIQBC has moderate efficiency.

본 논문에서는 매칭 에러 영상과 이동벡터를 이용한 효율적인 이동물체 외곽선 검출 알고리즘과 부분외곽선 정보를 이용한 이동물체 고속 추적 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이동물체의 외곽선 검출은 watershed 알고리즘을 기반으로 확률분포함수를 적용하여 seed 영역을 생성하고 seed 영역을 확장하여 이동물체의 윤곽선을 검출한 다음 이동벡터를 이용하여 최종 외곽선을 추출한다. 외곽선 중 일부를 특징으로 하여 이동물체를 추적하는 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 이동물체 초기 특징 벡터는 이동물체의 외곽선 영역 중 상하좌우의 외곽선 일부분을 특징벡터로 정한다. 다음은 추적단계로 이전 프레임에서 얻은 특징벡터를 이용하여 현재 프레임에서 이동물체의 추적을 수행하였다. 실제영상에 대하여 제안된 알고리즘으로 이동물체추적 모의 실험을 수행한 결과 기존 능동 윤곽선 추적알고리즘은 물체 외곽선 전체를 추적하기 때문에 물체의 외곽선 길이에 따라 처리시간이 변화하지만 제안된 알고리즘은 이동물체의 외곽선 영역을 특징정보로 하여 추적하기 때문에 추적 연산이 간단하였다. 고속이동벡터를 추출 BMA 연산은 기존 알고리즘 보다 연산량이 약 39% 감소였고, 이동 물체 외곽선 검출 알고리즘은 과분할 문제점이 발생하지 않았으며, 상하 좌우 외곽선 정보를 이용하여 이동물체를 추적한 결과 추적오차는 특징벡터의 크기가 $(15\times{5)}$일 때 검색오차가 4 화소 이하로 양호하게 나타났다.
