this paper presents a novel evaluation method of areas affected by natural disasters withthe purpose of managing these crisis situations. Since it is necessary to have a real overview of a specific area in the shortest time, our methodology proposes a neural network with backpropagation approach for flood detection from UAV images. For this, the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) texture operator is used for areas classification. the LBP operator labels each pixel of the analyzed image by comparing it with its neighbors, which ends withthe computation of a binary number that it is converted to decimal format named LBP code. thus, based on the generated LBP codes, a histogram type feature is computed and used in both training and testing phases of the proposed neural network. Over 50 images obtained withthe aid of UAV technology were tested withthe proposed neural network and good results in terms of accuracy for flood areas detection were obtained.

Modeling of the actuating element of the three axis galvanometer based actuator for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) additive manufacturing (AM) process is addressed in this paper. Dynamic behavior of the single axis galvanometer motor actuator is studied with physical considerations that improve basic linear and simplified existing models and extend the frequency domain validity of the proposed model. Optimal feedback and feedforward-type control structure synthesis is derived through a black-box identification of the actual industrial system for the models validation purpose. Responses of the developed models are compared to experimental data. Modeling errors coming from boththe actuator behavior (angular position values) and the marking process qualities (marking and focusing planes geometrical parameters) are found to be sufficiently small to allow the developed simulator to be used as an entry point for future investigations on the the single axis motor and the complete three axis actuator system.

this paper explores the feasibility of a Multi-Sensor-Based control (MSBC) approach for addressing forward nonparallel (perpendicular and diagonal) unparking problems of car-like vehicles as an alternative to classical approaches (e. g. path planning based, etc.). the results of individual cases are presented to illustrate the behavior and performance of the proposed approach as well as results from exhaustive simulations to evaluate the convergence and stability. the results presented in this work increase the versatility and validity of our MSBC approach towards a fully autonomous parking system.

In this paper, a novel output feedback solution based on the Q-learning algorithm using the measured data is proposed for the linear quadratic tracking (LQT) problem of unknown discrete-time systems. To tackle this technical issue, an augmented system composed of the original controlled system and the linear command generator is first constructed. then, by using the past input, output, and reference trajectory data of the augmented system, the output feedback Q-learning scheme is able to learn the optimal tracking controller online without requiring any knowledge of the augmented system dynamics. Learning algorithms including both policy iteration (PI) and value iteration (VI) algorithms are developed to converge to the optimal solution. Finally, simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

In motion control systems, feedback signals are often corrupted by noise because of environmental disturbances and measurement errors. thus, filters are necessary to remove noise to obtain reliable signals. this paper proposes a new sliding mode filter that possesses a parabolic-shaped sliding surface. the proposed filter is an extension of a Jin et al.'s parabolic sliding mode filter by including feed-forward compensating terms for accelerating the tracking speed between the output and the input. Its discrete-time algorithm is developed by using the backward Euler discretization, and its discrete-time implementation does not produce chattering. A numerical example is executed for validating the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed filter.

this paper deals with observers for Lure-type nonlinear systems designed so that the associated estimation error dynamics are bounded in an invariant set. the design uses the LPV-embedding technique, whereby the nonlinearity is redefined in terms of a time-varying parameterised linear function, called the 'LPV parameter'. For LPV parameters with bounded variation, invariant sets for the original nonlinear system are computed by embedding the LPV system into a convex polytopic description. the trajectories of the estimation error are guaranteed to be bounded and remain in the computed invariant set, which exists if a condition in terms of the system matrices and parameters is satisfied. We show that arbitrarily small estimation error bounds can be achieved for some classes of systems. We illustrate the results via a simulation example of a flexible manipulator.

this paper studies the bipartite consensus problem for second-order multi-agent systems with distinct disturbances. the interactions between agents are described by a signed directed graph. For structurally balanced networks, a generalized bipartite consensus algorithm with disturbances' observers is proposed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained to achieve bipartite consensus withthe well designed algorithm by using frequency-domain analysis and matrix theory. Finally, simulations are shown to verify the correctness of presented results.

this paper presents a model named Multi-Scale YOLOv2 (MS-YOLOv2) for hand detection in complex scenes. the proposed MS-YOLOv2 is implemented by introducing three modules to YOLOv2, including a Multi-Scale Feature Refinement Module to acquire fine-grained features, a Channel Importance Evaluation Module to recalibrate feature channels and a Hard Example Punishment Module to get rid of hand interference areas. Experiment results show that the proposed MS-YOLOv2 makes much performance improvement to YOLOv2, but with little computational complexity gain. On our dataset, the proposed MS-YOLOv2 can achieve 98.2% of AP and 97.9% of AR. Moreover, on the VIVA challenge, the proposed MS-YOLOv2 achieves AP/AR of 85.1%/45.8% at Level-1 and 80.1%/45.9% at Level-2.

Learning by Demonstration (LbD) allows robots to acquire manipulation skills through human demonstration. In this regard, it is a challenging task to perceive spatial-temporal relations between sub-activities and object affordance in human demonstrations, especially when they are under-specified. this work extends the Probability Graph Model based methods to incorporate high-level demonstration classification. We propose an approach to model the semantics of human demonstration using Programming Domain Description Language (PDDL). therefore, hidden motion primitives that are impossible to be learned directly from observing human demonstration in noisy video data can be inferred and the robot's plans are refined. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, in which more refined scripts can be generated for robot's execution.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) has been becoming a vital method to recognize digits, letters, symbols and so on. the main idea is basically the conversion of data files which consists of handwritten or machine-written digits or characters into a type to let the machine make edits and read. this way, it lets computers read articles or books. they can also read images and make the conversion to a text file by using OCR. there are two important benefits of OCR. First, is the enhancement of the device to operate more productively even if the number of employees is decreased. Secondly, is the increase in the efficiency of the storage. this paper compares two state-of-the-art OCR algorithms in a simulated environment by using modified dataset. Simulation results are shown in part 4.
