An overview of different versions of the Eleven feed and recent development is presented in the paper. Eleven feeds have a nearly constant beamwidth and a fix phase center, with a performance of an aperture efficiency higher than 60%, -10 dB reflection coefficient, -0.2dB radiation efficiency, and -15dB cross-polar level, over a decade bandwidth. The Eleven feed can be very compact after applying newly developed optimization algorithms, and some new results of the feed in dual-reflector antennas are reported here.

Developing high light efficiency imaging techniques to retrieve high dimensional optical signal is a long-term goal in computational photography. Multispectral imaging, which captures images of different wavelengths and boosting the abilities for revealing scene properties, has developed rapidly in the last few decades. From scanning method to snapshot imaging, the limit of light collection efficiency is kept being pushed which enables wider applications especially under the light-starved scenes. In this work, we propose a novel multispectral imaging technique, that could capture the multispectral images with a high light efficiency. Through investigating the dispersive blur caused by spectral dispersers and introducing the difference of blur (DoB) constraints, we propose a basic theory for capturing multispectral information from a single dispersive-blurred image and an additional spectrum of an arbitrary point in the scene. Based on the theory, we design a prototype system and develop an optimization algorithm to realize snapshot multispectral imaging. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified on both the synthetic data and real captured images.

The purpose of this paper is to design a moving horizon observer for mode and continuous state estimation of nonlinear switched systems. Using the past output measurements and the model equations, mode and continuous state estimation is expressed as an optimization problem which is solved using the Gauss-Newton algorithm. The performances of this method are illustrated on a simulated two-tank system.

We study the worst-case adaptive optimization problem with budget constraint that is useful for modeling various practical applications in artificial intelligence and machine learning. We investigate the near-optimality of greedy algorithms for this problem with both modular and non-modular cost functions. In both cases, we prove that two simple greedy algorithms are not near-optimal but the best between them is near-optimal if the utility function satisfies pointwise submodularity and pointwise cost-sensitive submodularity respectively. This implies a combined algorithm that is near-optimal with respect to the optimal algorithm that uses half of the budget. We discuss applications of our theoretical results and also report experiments comparing the greedy algorithms on the active learning problem.

Numerous applications in data mining and machine learning require recovering a matrix of minimal rank. Robust principal component analysis (RPCA) is a general framework for handling this kind of problems. Nuclear norm based convex surrogate of the rank function in RPCA is widely investigated. Under certain assumptions, it can recover the underlying true low rank matrix with high probability. However, those assumptions may not hold in real-world applications. Since the nuclear norm approximates the rank by adding all singular values together, which is essentially a l_1-norm of the singular values, the resulting approximation error is not trivial and thus the resulting matrix estimator can be significantly biased. To seek a closer approximation and to alleviate the above-mentioned limitations of the nuclear norm, we propose a nonconvex rank approximation. This approximation to the matrix rank is tighter than the nuclear norm. To solve the associated nonconvex minimization problem, we develop an efficient augmented Lagrange multiplier based optimization algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms current state-of-the-art algorithms in both accuracy and efficiency.

This paper addresses the problem of automated prosthesis modelling and manufacturing, whose machining parameters are based on images extracted from different medical databases. The specific case of 3D surface restoration of a defective skull was used as study case. A method based on adjusted ellipses on skull bone curvature performs the symbolic representation of searching parameters. The superellipse concept permits to define geometric parameters to fit an ellipse on each Computed Tomography slice. Those ellipse descriptors can be used as a template for the retrieval of similar images from databases whose parameters match the sampled image. The similarity is measured according to the best fitness values through an optimization algorithm. The slices found by similarity are retrieved from all databases in order to build the 3D model. Experiments show that the proposed method is a promising technique for content based image retrieval.

A hybrid distribution estimation algorithm for traveling salesman problem is proposed. Firstly, based on the distributed estimation algorithm, a new effective probability model is proposed to solve the traveling salesman problem. Secondly, in order to speed up the optimization of the algorithm to prevent the algorithm falling into the local optimal, the extreme optimization algorithm is combined to form a hybrid distribution estimation algorithm to improve the effectiveness of the algorithm. Then through the public TSPLIB data set, it is proved that the hybrid distribution estimation algorithm is effective, and the algorithm can solve this kind of problem well. Finally, a new idea is proposed to verify the validity of the traveling salesman problem, and the algorithm is tested by the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid distribution estimation algorithm has a good performance in solving the traveling salesman problem.

In this paper, we consider minimum cost lossless source coding for multiple multicast sessions. Each session comprises a set of correlated sources whose information is demanded by a set of sink nodes. We propose a distributed end-to-end algorithm which operates over given multicast trees, and a back-pressure algorithm which optimizes routing and coding over the whole network. Unlike other existing algorithms, the source rates need not be centrally coordinated;the sinks control transmission rates across the sources. With random network coding, the proposed approach yields completely distributed and optimal algorithms for intra-session network coding. We prove the convergence of our proposed algorithms. Some practical considerations are also discussed. Experimental results are provided to complement our theoretical analysis.
