Facial expression recognition (FER) plays a very significant role in computer vision, pattern recognition, and image processing applications such as human computer interaction as it provides sufficient information about emotions of people. For video-based facial expression recognition, depth cameras can be better candidates over RGB cameras as a person's face cannot be easily recognized from distance-based depth videos hence depth cameras also resolve some privacy issues that can arise using RGB faces. A good FER system is very much reliant on the extraction of robust features as well as recognition engine. In this work, an efficient novel approach is proposed to recognize some facial expressions from time-sequential depth videos. First of all, efficient Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features are obtained from the time-sequential depth faces that are further classified by Generalized Discriminant Analysis (GDA) to make the features more robust and finally, the LBP-GDA features are fed into Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) to train and recognize different facial expressions successfully. The depth information-based proposed facial expression recognition approach is compared to the conventional approaches such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) where the proposed one outperforms others by obtaining better recognition rates.

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the stability region in state space for uncertain linear systems with input saturation. For stability analysis, two Lyapunov functions are chosen. One is for the lineal region and the other is for the saturated legion. Piecewise Lyapunov functions are obtained by solving successive linear matrix inequalites(LMIs) relaxations. A sufficient condition for robust stability is derived in the form of stability region of initial conditions. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper we present robust optimal supporting positions for large glass panels used for TFT-LCD monitors when they are stored in a cassette during manufacturing process. The criterion taken is to minimize their maximum deflection. Since they are supported by some supports and have large deformations, contact analysis with a geometrically nonlinear effect is necessary. In addition, the center of a panel can not be positioned exactly as intended and should be considered as uncertainties. To take into account of these effects, the mean and the standard deviation of system response functions, particularly the deflection of the panels, need be calculated. A function approximation moment method (FAMM) is utilized to estimate them. It is a special type of response surface methodology for structural reliability analysis and can be efficiently used to estimate the two stochastic properties, that is, the system performance and the perturbations caused by uncertainties. For a design purpose, they are to be minimized simultaneously by some optimization algorithm to obtain robust optimal supporting positions.

본 논문은 비선형 시스템에 대하여 강인한 고이득 관측기 설계 방법을 제안하였고 그것의 안정성을 리아푸노프 이론을 기반으로 분석하였다. 그 시스템의 상태는 측정 할 수 없다고 가정하였다. 제안된 고이득 관측기는 역학식에 추정 오차의 적분을 포함한다. 그것은 고이득 관측기의 성능을 향성시키고 제안된 관측기가 잡음, 불확실성, 피킹 현상과 같은 것들에 대해 강인하도록 만든다. 그것의 안정성은 리아푸노프 방법에 의해 분석된다. 이를 출력 되먹임 제어기에 적용하였고 모의실험 결과를 통해 기존의 관측기기반의 출력 되먹임 제어기, 상태 되먹임 제어기와 비교하여 제안된 방법의 효율성을 증명하였다.

주성분 분석은 자료압축, 특징추출, 통신이론, 패턴인식 그리고 화상처리등의 컴퓨터 공학분야에서 중요하게 사용되고 있다. Oja(1982,1989,1992)는 확률적 경사 강하법(SGA:Stochastic Gradient Ascent)을 이용한 제한된 헵규칙을 제안하여 주성분 분석에 사용하였다. 그러나, 이 규칙은 이상치에 민감하므로 이상치의 영향을 줄이기 위해, Xu & Yuille(1995)는 통계물리 방법을 이용한 로버스트 에너지함수를 생성하여 로버스트 주성분 분석방법을 제안하였다. 또한 Devlin et.al(1981)은 M-추정량을 이용하여 주성분 분석을 하였다. 본 논문에서는 Oja(1992)의 규칙과 Xu & Yuille(1995)의 로버스트 에너지함수를 이용하여 신경망을 구성하였다. 그리고, Devlin et.al(1981)이 제안한 시뮬레이션조건하에서 실험을 하였다. 실험한 결과와 Devlin et.al(1981)의 결과를 비교, 분석함으로써, 신경망의 성능을 확인하고자 한다.

In this paper, the method and its effectiveness to decrease the uneven wear of the brake pad were proposed. A finite element analysis was performed to analyze the pressure distributions on the contact surfaces. The optimum brake pad shape was determined by a robust design using the Taguchi method. The effectiveness of the optimum design was clarified by the wear tests with a dynamometer.

The ball and beam system is one of the most popular models for studying control systems because of its nonlinearity and several control techniques have been proposed. Sliding mode control is a popular robust control method which rejects the external disturbance. In this paper, we propose a robust controller using the ${\epsilon}$-sliding surface. On the ${\epsilon}$-sliding surface, the system robustness and convergence can be manipulated via a use of ${\epsilon}$. We show the stability analysis and convergence analysis on the ${\epsilon}$-sliding surface. In addition, the experimental results show the validity of the proposed controller.

In this paper, numerical robust stability analysis method and its design are presented. L$_2$robust stability of the fuzzy system is analyzed by casting the systems into the diagonal norm bounded linear differential inclusions (DNLDI) formulation. Based on the linear matix inequality (LMI) optimization programming, a numerical method for finding the maximum stable ranges of the fuzzy feedback linarization control gains is proposed.

Spectral clustering is a powerful tool for exploratory data analysis. Many existing spectral clustering algorithms typically measure the similarity by using a Gaussian kernel function or an undirected k-nearest neighbor (kNN) graph, which cannot reveal the real clusters when the data are not well separated. In this paper, to improve the spectral clustering, we consider a robust similarity measure based on the shared nearest neighbors in a directed kNN graph. We propose two novel algorithms for spectral clustering: one based on the number of shared nearest neighbors, and one based on their closeness. The proposed algorithms are able to explore the underlying similarity relationships between data points, and are robust to datasets that are not well separated. Moreover, the proposed algorithms have only one parameter, k. We evaluated the proposed algorithms using synthetic and real-world datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms not only achieve a good level of performance, they also outperform the traditional spectral clustering algorithms.

This paper presents a robust adaptive control method using model reference control strategy against autonomous robot systems with random friction nature. We approximate a nonlinear robot system model by means of a feedback linearization approach to derive nominal control law. We construct a Least Square (LS) based observer to estimate friction dynamics online and then represent a perturbed system model with respect to approximation error between an actual friction and its estimation. Model reference based control design is achieved to implement an auxiliary control in order for reducing control error in practice due to system perturbation. Additionally, we conduct theoretical study to demonstrate stability of the perturbed system model through Lyapunov theory. Numerical simulation is carried out for evaluating the proposed control methodology and demonstrating its superiority by comparing it to a traditional nominal control method.
