Detection of specific image components, their visualization and classification belong to main topics of biomedical image processing. The paper is devoted to problems related to the use of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) for image denoising and to selected methods of its enhancement. The study presents the analysis of results achieved for different wavelet functions and the following application of gradient methods for specific image components detection. The information content of final images is followed both from the medical point of view using the previous experience and numerically through the analysis of image spectral components. The proposed methods indicate the efficiency of the dual-tree complex wavelet transform use in this area.

Multi-channel sensors and multi-channel signal analysis form a specific area of general digital signal processing methods with applications in medicine, environmental signal analysis or technology. The paper is devoted to general mathematical methods related to initial signal de-noising, detection of its principal components and segmentation to find its specific parts. Feature detection includes the use of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) for estimation of features invariant to signal shift to form clusters of close data segments. The selforganizing neural networks are then used for signal segments classification. Results are numerically evaluated by statistical analysis of distances of individual feature vector values from the corresponding cluster centers. Proposed methods are used for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal segmentation based upon detection of changes of signal spectral components applied to its first principal component, signal segments feature extraction and their classification. Results achieved are compared for different data sets and different mathematical methods used to detect signal segments features. Numerical results are compared with experience of experts specialized to EEG data analysis to allow further correlation with MR images. Proposed methods are accompanied by the appropriate graphical user interface (GUI) designed in the MATLAB environment.

An automatic detection system for permafrost temperature was designed in accordance with the characteristics and tests of the permafrost temperature affacting the safety of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, as well as comparison between analyses in the respect at home and abroad. This system consists of a host computer and some under computers. Precise thermistors were used as the temperature sensors arranged on the test points. The temperature parameters of the permafrost were collected through the timing tests, data storage and transmission by the under computers while description and analysis of the changes of the parameters were made through the data reception, treatment and analysis by the host computer. Information obtained has provided a data basis for designing the permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Two section of the railway were taken as the temperature tests points. This system can provide important information of the behavior of the permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.

This paper presents an illumination compensation method for images under variable lighting condition. The algorithm consists of two processes. First, the camera response function is identified as a nonlinear model of the camera under dynamic illumination. Then an image with a wider dynamic range is obtained online by fusing several images taken under different exposures of the same scene. The algorithm is applied to the four-legged robot soccer competition and is verified to be superior to some traditional schemes.

In this paper some refinement of a novel control approach is reported that fits to the "traditional line of thinking" according to which in the most practical cases neither very precise, nor even complete system model is needed for obtaining precise control for dynamical systems. The validity of this statement is briefly pointed out in the most popular approaches as the main idea of the "Robust Sliding Mode / Variable Structure controllers", in the Adaptive Inverse Dynamics and in the Slotine-Li Adaptive controllers based on Lyapunov's 2nd Method, and in a recently published problem tackling using the simple geometric interpretation of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). In the present approach the originally proposed convergent, iterative Cauchy sequences are nonlinearly moderated to adaptively control a coupled nonlinear system, the cart plus double pendulum serving as popular paradigm of dynamicall not very well conditioned systems. It is shown that the proposed moderation removes the small sharp fluctuation in the control torque that inherently belonged to the original solution without significantly degrading the control quality. This statement is substantiated by simulation results.

The increasing heterogeneity and complexity of the Information Technology infrastructure encompassing hardware and software applications, services and networks, led to complex, unmanageable and insecure systems. Correspondingly, new approaches in regards to the IT infrastructure automation and operation have been investigated. Autonomic computing has been born and successfully launched as a research area in response to the "must have" solutions for the problems above. It approaches subjects such as self-configuration, self- protection, self-healing, and self-optimization. Its ambitious goals in making a computer environment behaving in a self controlled and intelligently guided manner, lead to various approaches such as intelligent systems, control, learning machines and others. In this paper, a special adaptive technique will be used for the implementation of self-provisioning and self- optimization techniques for autonomic computing with applications to server virtualization. The autonomic computing processes are considered as nonlinear uncertain systems with constant linearly parameterized uncertainty. The approach is motivated by the fact that a complex computer system behaves in time in a nonlinear fashion, its parameters having a stochastic variation, and components of the autonomic computing environment might fail from time to time. The architecture of an adaptive robust autonomic computing environment and its implementation specific components is described. The application domain of the autonomic computing technology has been chosen to be a virtual server environment. An application of this autonomic computing solution to server virtualization is presented at the end of this paper.

This paper addresses the problem of stabilization and output-synchronization for a network of interconnected nonlinear agents, where each agent is assumed to be dissipative with respect to a specified quadratic supply rate which may differ among the agents. Main results concern the characterization and design of the information exchange structure for stabilization. Applying a linear protocol here, the associated interconnection matrix is characterized based on LMI's, as well as on spectral properties. Additionally a synthesis based on LMI's under structural constraints is proposed. The results are validated in simulations.

A control scheme is presented to achieve stabilization, satisfactory dynamic and steady state control performance for a general unstable process with dead time, where the rational function part of the process could be of non first order and the dead time of it larger than the upper bound for stabilization by PID control. The idea is to remove the stable lag part of the process by an internal model control (IMC)-like compensation with intended preservation of internal stabilizability so that the compensated plant becomes a minimal order one with unstable poles only (the first order in most realistic cases) and its internal stabilization and effective control can be carried out much easier than that for the original process. The proposed scheme can thus overcome the limitations due to presence of stable lag terms inherent in almost any process on its stabilization and effective control.

In this paper simple techniques based on nonlinear geometric transformations are presented for creating an effective 3D impression (stereovision or illusion of depth) from a single 2D original. Our aim is to propose semi-automatic ways to transform 2D images into their suggestive but plausible 3D anaglyph versions. Three conversion methods based on a binary depth map are proposed and the influence of various RGB component shifts on the 3D impression quality is studied.
