In conventional H/sub /spl infin// optimal output feedback control design, the order of the controller is higher than that of the plant. Thus it is not easy to implement H/sub /spl infin// optimal control in real world engineering problems. The paper tries to bridge the gap between the theoretical H/sub /spl infin// control and practical applications. It proposes a simple genetic algorithm (GA), blended with multi objective characteristics, for the design of a structure specified H/sub /spl infin// sub-optimal controller. Therefore, two examples involving a SISO phase-locked motor speed system with a lead/lag type controller and a MIMO super maneuverable F18/HARV fighter aircraft with a PI-type controller are given to illustrate the applicability of the design. Also in accordance with these examples a comparison study with an existing GA procedure, outlines the effectiveness of the proposed evolutionary scheme.

A method for robot navigation is presented. It is based on the detection of the main local reflection symmetry axes in images where straight lines are prevailing such as structured environments where robots are moving. The objective is to maintain the right orientation during navigation and to detect and correct any change in this orientation comparing continuously the symmetry axes between images. The algorithm measures the positions and the lengths of these local symmetry axes and their relative importance by means of an accumulation map of each contributing segment. A definition of symmetry between two segments that allows us to calculate a local symmetry axis between them is also given.
Repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D systems of both practical and theoretical interest. Their essential characteristic is repeated sweeps, termed passes, through a set of dynamics defined over a finite dur...

This paper presents an approach to the automatic classification of microorganisms based on image-processing techniques. A computer application that processes and classifies the images has been developed. The classification is carried out using a competitive neural network. Its input pattern is evaluated from a frequency analysis of images taken through a microscope. This paper focuses on the application of this technique to the classification of living diatoms.

The paper presents a number of image processing and pattern recognition applications using coordinate logic filters which execute coordinate logic operations among the pixels of the image. These filters are very efficient in various 1D, 2D or higher-dimensional digital signal processing applications, such as noise removal, magnification, opening, closing, skeletonization, coding, edge detection, feature extraction, and fractal modeling. The key issue in the coordinate logic analysis of images is the method of fast successive filtering and managing of the residues. The desired processing is achieved by executing only direct logic operations among the pixels of the given image. Coordinate logic filters can be easily and quickly implemented using logic circuits or cellular automata; this is their primary advantage.

Deals with the use of object oriented technologies in the modeling of industrial plants that have to be remotely monitored and/or controlled. The main goal is to propose a design methodology for obtaining the model of the so-called Virtual Plant, that a remote and certified user will use to access the real plant for performing command actions and/or monitoring. The type of applications and systems targeted must have autonomous behavior and be interconnected and accessible. Reliability, maintainability and flexibility are also required goals, as well as a high rate of reusability of the applications. The methodology has been applied to the remote process monitoring and control of manufacturing processes. The Virtual Plant Model is, in fact, the part of the plant that can be accessed by a certified remote client and thus it can be constituted by a set of sub-models, as many as different types of clients. The Virtual Plant resides inside the Application Server who is responsible of communicating with the cell controller and sends the image of the actual plant state (the Virtual Plant) as required by the remote client (monitoring) or sends the client commands to the cell controller.
