This paper is concerned with identification of stochastic time lag systems corrupted by colored noise. Correlation analysis is used for time delay estimation. Some important extensions are made via time series analysis so that the time delay can be estimated accurately even when the input to the identified plant is a common stationary signal and is correlated with the process noise. By applying a new modified least-squares estimation method to eliminating the bias in the system parameters estimates arising from colored noise, an unbiased identification algorithm for jointly estimating the time delay and system parameters can be obtained based on correlation analysis. The proposed identification schemes may be used both in batches and recursively. Numerical examples are given as well.

The position of the glass fiber freezing point in the process of drawing it from a preform can be determined in a variety of ways, mostly by indirect methods, e.g., by temperature measurements. The cross-correlation method allows determination of the delay without stopping or disturbing the process itself. The transport delay is estimated, based on the moment of the abrupt change of the cross-correlation function absolute value, and is decoupled from the process structure parameters (coefficients of B(q(-1)) polynomial). Experimental results obtained in the open loop by application of both the PRBS and continuous random noise test signals are given. Also, using the same data, comparisons between the parametric and nonparametric methods are made. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Under the assumption that one of several given models is the real underlying model of the system, a proper auxiliary signal is defined as an input signal that allows one to select the correct model. It is assumed that there is no knowledge prior to the beginning of the application of the auxiliary signal and that detection is to be done within a specified detection horizon. Under the assumption that the noise energy is bounded, a method for the computation of the minimal energy auxiliary signal is given. The new algorithm extends previous work in that it can handle more than two models and certain types of nonlinearities. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ferrite Core Power Inductors (FCPIs) operation in partial saturation offers unexplored opportunities in reducing the size of magnetic parts and the power losses in Switching Mode Power Supplies (SMPSs). This paper presents an enhanced numerical method to achieve a reliable prediction of the current ripple of FCPIs, also in partial saturation, for different conversion topologies and in whatever operating conditions. The proposed analysis includes High-Current Ripple (HCR) operations, for synchronous configurations in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) and for diode rectification configurations in Discontinues Conduction Mode (DCM). Relevant numerical algorithms for the reliable FCPIs current wave-shape prediction are given. Experimental verifications are performed on two boost converters in CCM and DCM to provide the validation of the proposed method.

The problem of estimating continuous-time model parameters of linear dynamical systems using sampled time-domain input and output data has received considerable attention over the past decades and has been approached by various methods. The research topic also bears practical importance due to both its close relation to first principles modelling and equally to linear model-based control design techniques, most of them carried in continuous time. Nonetheless, as the performance of the existing algorithms for continuous-time model identification has seldom been assessed and, as thus far, it has not been considered in a comprehensive study, this practical potential of existing methods remains highly questionable. The goal of this brief paper is to bring forward a first study on this issue and to factually highlight the main aspects of interest. As such, an analysis is performed on a benchmark designed to be consistent both from a system identification viewpoint and from a control-theoretic one. It is concluded that robust initialization aspects require further research focus towards reliable algorithm development. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this article, we propose a new method for localizing optic disc in retinal images. Localizing the optic disc and its center is the first step of most vessel segmentation, disease diagnostic, and retinal recognition algorithms. We use optic disc of the first four retinal images in DRIVE dataset to extract the histograms of each color component. Then, we calculate the average of histograms for each color as template for localizing the center of optic disc. The DRIVE, STARE, and a local dataset including 273 retinal images are used to evaluate the proposed algorithm. The success rate was 100, 91.36, and 98.9%, respectively.

Fuzzy modelling has been widely applied as a powerful methodology for the identification of nonlinear systems from process measurements. Most applications use flat sets of fuzzy rules, which are hardly interpretable black-box approaches. Hierarchical modelling is a promising tool to deal with real world complex systems. A large-scale model can be easily readable if it is partitioned into several independent smaller models to represent functional relations of the processes involved in the system. This article deals with the application of a new fuzzy modelling technique that automatically organizes the sets of fuzzy IF-THEN rules in a Hierarchical Collaborative Structure. This organizational structure makes the fuzzy model interpretable as in the case of the physical model. This new methodology was tested to split the inside greenhouse air temperature and humidity flat fuzzy models into fuzzy sub-models. which have alike counterpart on the physical sub-models.

Complex neural network structures may not be appropriate for adaptive control applications, as large number of variable adaptive parameters have to be updated in each time step, thus increasing the computational burden, which makes the real-time implementation of the controller difficult. In this study, the ability of the neural networks to approximate non-linear dynamic systems is used to derive a neuro-based adaptive control with minimalistic architecture. A linear neural identifier is devised, which emulates a local linear model of the system by online adjustment of its parameters. Stability and optimal rate of convergence is ensured through an adaptive learning rate, determined using Lyapunov stability theorems. The novelty of the control scheme lies in its minimalistic neural structure comprising of a single-linear neuron and, therefore, does not impose excessive computational burden on the system, making it feasible for real-time application. To assert our claims, benchmark examples from different domains are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. The neuro-controller is used in a water-lift plant to control the height of the water in a storage tank. Another example of a moving cart holding an inverted pendulum, an inherently unstable system that forms the basis of the robot-control mechanism, is also used. The controller is also tested on a complex non-linear higher-order power system to enhance stability by effectively damping the electromechanical oscillations. The superior performance of the controller is demonstrated by comparing with other recently reported controllers. Additional advantages of the proposed scheme include model-free control and requirement of only local measurements. The proposed method has potential applications in control problems that require adaptability, computational simplicity, and quick response.

This paper presents a novel method for non-parametric identification of parameter-varying (PV) Hammerstein systems where the parameters of both the static nonlinearity and the linear dynamics change with a scheduling variable. The proposed method estimates the individual elements of the PV Hammerstein system by describing the static nonlinear element using a PV Chebychev basis expansion and the linear dynamic element as a non-parametric PV impulse response function with Laguerre basis expansion. The method was validated using Monte-Carlo simulations of a PV Hammerstein model of ankle reflex stiffness during large movements. Results demonstrated that the method is simple, effective, and robust;it accurately identified the PV Hammerstein system in the presence of relatively large colored, time-varying measurement noise (average SNR of 15dB). These results demonstrate the two main contributions of the method: (1) It accurately and precisely estimates both the linear and nonlinear elements of the PV Hammerstein cascade as they vary with a scheduling variable;and (2) Models identified with the method accurately predict the response of the PV Hammerstein system to novel scheduling variable trajectories. To our knowledge, no other Hammerstein method can achieve these.

This study improves an adaptive controller for linear discrete-time plants in two aspects: (1) a new adaptation law is proposed to reduce the residual and the parameter errors;(2) a new method is proposed to modify the parameter estimates if the estimated model is not controllable. The second improvement is required when the plant is non-minimum phase. It obtains a controllable model from available parameter estimates while minimizing the modification offset. These features enhance closed-loop tracking performance of the adaptive controller when it is applied to non-minimum phase plants. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
