This paper presents an effective and efficient face normalization method based on eyes location. The face is first rapidly detected based on boosted cascade of simple Haar-like features. Then, the algorithm detects the position of pupils in the face image using the geometric relation between the face and the eyes. Finally, the algorithm normalizes the orientation, the scale and the grayscale of the face image. The experimental results demonstrated that this algorithm can detect and normalize the face image efficiently and accurately. The algorithm can be used in face recognition because the normalized faces can improve the recognition rate

This paper presents an efficient target detection algorithm from a sequence of infrared images using the sequential Monte Carlo method (SMC). The algorithm employs an evolution process of the particles which correspond to the candidates of the target position and whose evolution is controlled by the weight of the target feature. Through the iterative process on the differential images, a valve of the particle set is proposed to decide if there is a target in the image, and the state of the particle set is used to position the target. The experimental results demonstrated that the algorithm can detect the target with sea-sky background effectively regardless of the existence of serious non-Gaussian noises. The experiments also showed real-time efficiency of the algorithm for target detection

To ensure safety of railway operation, it is extremely important to regularly check railway conditions such as deformation of the rails. This paper presents an on-line rail deformation monitoring system for being implement on moving train so as to timely report any deformation beyond the threshold. The system is based an effective algorithm for detecting the rail deformation using three acceleration sensors mounted on the train. The proposed method can distinguish vibrations due to track deformation from those caused by motion of the train by analysing the lateral accelerations of the train's crossbeam and the lateral acceleration of the bogie. This method is testing on the railway between Shenyang and Dalian. Through experiment of large number of collected data, the performance of the detection is applicable

Biological cell injection is a laborious work which requires lengthy training and suffers from a low success rate. Even a tiny excessive manipulation force can destroy the membrane or tissue of the biological cell, and lead to failure of the biomanipulation task. This makes the control of the injection force an important factor in cell injection process. In this paper, a vision-based impedance force control algorithm is proposed based on the modeling of a laboratory test-bed injection system. Visual feedback is used to estimate the injection force, based on which an impedance force control algorithm is developed. Motion planning of the injection pipette is also proposed to complete the whole injection process. Finally, preliminary experimental results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper we discuss landmark based absolute localization of tiny autonomous mobile robots in a known environment. Landmark features are naturally occurring as it is not allowed to modify the environment with special navigational aids. These features are sparse in our application domain and are frequently occluded by other robots. This makes simultaneous acquisition of two or more landmarks difficult. Therefore, we propose a system that requires a single landmark feature. The algorithm is based on range measurement of a single landmark from two arbitrary points whose displacement can be measured using dead-reckoning sensors. Range estimation is done with a stereo vision system. Simulation results show that the robot can localize itself if it can estimates range of the same landmark from two different position and if the displacement between the two position is known.

The main objective of the paper is to introduce how the concept of tensor HOSVD can be carried over to the TP (tensor product) dynamic models, namely, how we can define and generate the "HOSVD like" decomposition of linear parameter varying (LPV) dynamic models. We term this decomposition as HOSVD based canonical form of TP model or polytopic model form. The key idea and the basic concept of this decomposition was proposed with the TP model transformation based control design methodology. The novelty of this paper is to present the mathematical background of this concept. The paper shows convergency theorems how the TP model transformation is capable of reconstructing this HOSVD based canonical form numerically. The proofs of the theorems are lengthy, therefore they are omitted. The paper also presents numerical examples to show the applicability, efficiency and uniformity of the numerical reconstruction

Previously, Gyrover was controlled only manually, using two joysticks to control the drive and tilt motors through a radio link. A complete dynamic model is necessary to develop automatic control of the system. In the following sections, we will develop the nonholonomic kinematics constraints, as well as a dynamic model using the constrained generalized Lagrangian formulation.

Due to the complexity of the system, it is difficult for us to work out a "complete" analytical model of it. Therefore, in this chapter, we propose using a machine learning algorithm, Cascade Neural Network (CNN) with nodedecoupled extended Kalman Filtering (NDEKF), to model the robot's behaviors from human control strategy (HAS).
