보행자 기반의 카메라 자가 보정 방법들은 복잡한 보정 장치나 절차가 필요하지 않기 때문에 비디오 감시 시스템에 적합하다. 하지만 임의 보행자를 보정 대상으로 사용하는 경우 보행자들의 키를 모르기 때문에 보정 정확도가 저하될 수 있다. 본 논문은 실제 감시 환경에서 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 베이지안 보정 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 감시 지역 사람들의 키에 대한 통계가 있다고 가정하고, 발-머리 호몰로지(foot-head homology)를 사용하여, 발과 머리의 좌표와 보행자 키의 불확실성을 모두 고려하는 확률 모델을 구성한다. 이 확률 모델을 직접 푸는 것은 난해하므로, 본 연구에서는 근사적 방법인 변분 베이지안 추론(variational Bayesian inference)을 사용한다. 따라서, 이를 통해 관측된 보행자들의 키를 추정함과 동시에 정확한 카메라 파라미터를 구할 수 있다. 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 노이즈에 강하며, 보정에 대한 정확한 신뢰도를 제공함을 보였다.

Engineering structures in operation essentially belong to time-varying or nonlinear structures and the resultant response signals are usually non-stationary. For such time-varying structures, it is of great importance to extract time-dependent dynamic parameters from non-stationary response signals, which benefits structural health monitoring, safety assessment and vibration control. However, various traditional signal processing methods are unable to extract the embedded meaningful information. As a newly developed technique, variational mode decomposition (VMD) shows its superiority on signal decomposition, however, it still suffers two main problems. The foremost problem is that the number of modal components is required to be defined in advance. Another problem needs to be addressed is that VMD cannot effectively separate non-stationary signals composed of closely spaced or overlapped modes. As such, a new method named generalized adaptive variational modal decomposition (GAVMD) is proposed. In this new method, the number of component signals is adaptively estimated by an index of mean frequency, while the generalized demodulation algorithm is introduced to yield a generalized VMD that can decompose mode overlapped signals successfully. After that, synchrosqueezing wavelet transform (SWT) is applied to extract instantaneous frequencies (IFs) of the decomposed mono-component signals. To verify the validity and accuracy of the proposed method, three numerical examples and a steel cable with time-varying tension force are investigated. The results demonstrate that the proposed GAVMD method can decompose the multi-component signal with overlapped modes well and its combination with SWT enables a successful IF extraction of each individual component.

종단간 음성인식기의 성능향상을 위한 변분 오토인코더(Variational AutoEncoder, VAE) 및 비교사 데이터 증강(Unsupervised Data Augmentation, UDA) 기반의 준지도 학습 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 먼저 원래의 음성데이터를 이용하여 VAE 기반 증강모델과 베이스라인 종단간 음성인식기를 학습한다. 그 다음, 학습된 증강모델로부터 증강된 데이터를 이용하여 베이스라인 종단간 음성인식기를 다시 학습한다. 마지막으로, 학습된 증강모델 및 종단간 음성인식기를 비교사 데이터 증강 기반의 준지도 학습 방법으로 다시 학습한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과, 증강모델은 기존의 종단간 음성인식기의 단어오류율(Word Error Rate, WER)을 개선하였으며, 비교사 데이터 증강학습방법과 결합함으로써 성능을 더욱 개선하였다.

Piezoceramic patches as collocated actuator and sensors are widely used in mechanical control systems. An approximation scheme for computing feedback gains arising in heat flux stabilization problem with such control mechanism is introduced. The scheme is based on a finite element method and a variational approach.

Based on the Reissner mixed variational theorem (RMVT), finite rectangular layer methods (FRLMs) are developed for the three-dimensional (3D) linear buckling analysis of simply-supported, fiber-reinforced composite material (FRCM) and functionally graded material (FGM) sandwich plates subjected to bi-axial compressive loads. In this work, the material properties of the FGM layers are assumed to obey the power-law distributions of the volume fractions of the constituents through the thickness, and the plate is divided into a number of finite rectangular layers, in which the trigonometric functions and Lagrange polynomials are used to interpolate the in- and out-of-plane variations of the field variables of each individual layer, respectively, and an h-refinement process is adopted to yield the convergent solutions. The accuracy and convergence of the RMVT-based FRLMs with various orders used for expansions of each field variables through the thickness are assessed by comparing their solutions with the exact 3D and accurate two-dimensional ones available in the literature.

This paper presents a model-based control scheme for a robot manipulator to track a desired trajectory as closely as possible in spite of a wide range of manipulator motions and parameter uncertainties of links and payload. The scheme has two components: a nominal control and a variational control. The nominal control, generated from direct calculation of the manipulator dynamics along a desired trajectory, drives the manipulator to a neighborhood of the trajectory. Then a discrete-time PID regulator is designed based on the linearized dynamic model and Linear Quadratic(LQ) method, which generates the variational control that regulates perturbations in the vicinity of the desired trajectory.

Level set methods are the numerical techniques for tracking interfaces and shapes. They have been successfully used in image segmentation. A new variational level set evolving algorithm without re-initialization is presented in this paper. It consists of an internal energy term that penalizes deviations of the level set function from a signed distance function, and an external energy term that drives the motion of the zero level set toward the desired image feature. This algorithm can be easily implemented using a simple finite difference scheme. Meanwhile, not only can the initial contour can be shown anywhere in the image, but the interior contours can also be automatically detected.

Longitudinal quantification of brain changes due to development, aging or disease plays an important role in the filed of personalized-medicine applications. However, due to the temporal variability in shape and different imaging equipment and parameters, estimating anatomical changes in longitudinal studies is significantly challenging. In this paper, a longitudinal Magnetic Resonance(MR) brain image segmentation algorithm proposed by combining intensity information and anisotropic smoothness term which contain a spatial smoothness constraint and longitudinal consistent constraint into a variational framework. The minimization of the proposed energy functional is strictly and effectively derived from a fast optimization algorithm. A large number of experimental results show that the proposed method can guarantee segmentation accuracy and longitudinal consistency in both simulated and real longitudinal MR brain images for analysis of anatomical changes over time.

In this paper, we establish the existence of at least three solutions to a Navier boundary problem involving the ($p_1$, ${\cdots}$, $p_n$)-biharmonic systems. We use a variational approach based on a three critical points theorem due to Ricceri [B. Ricceri, A three critical points theorem revisited, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (2009), 3084-3089].

In the manuscript, we concern with the existence of solutions of boundary value problems for fourth order nonlinear discrete systems. Some criteria for the existence of at least one nontrivial solution of the problem are obtained. The proof is mainly based upon the variational method and critical point theory. An example is presented to illustrate the main result.
