Abstract The computerized modeling of cognitive visual information has been a research field of great interest in the past several decades. The research field is interesting not only from a biological perspective, but also from an engineering point of view when systems are developed that aim to achieve similar goals as biological cognitive systems. This paper briefly describes a general framework for the extraction and systematic storage of low-level visual features, and demonstrates its applicability in image categorization using a linear categorization algorithm originally developed for the characterization of text documents. The performance of the algorithm together with the newly developed feature array was evaluated using the Caltech 101 database. Extremely high (95% and higher) success rates were achieved when distinguishing between pairs of categories using independent test images. Efforts were made to scale up the number of categories using a hierarchical, branch-and-bound decision tree, with limited success.

Predictive control recently has gained wide acceptance in the process industry. In practice mostly linear algorithms are applied. Control algorithms considering the nonlinearities of the processes would provide better control performance than the linear algorithms. A new iterative nonlinear predictive control algorithm is presented here based on the quadratic parametric Volterra model. The algorithm uses a GPC-like structure. The control performance is demonstrated by a simulation case study of level control of a two-tank system. The behavior of the new algorithm is compared with other suboptimal nonlinear algorithms.

On-off control is still widely used in the industry, especially for discontinuous actuators, e.g. compressors, steam turbines or furnace burners. Exact set-point control is not possible by an on-off controller. Lower and upper limits are defined for the control signal which should not be violated. For this predictive gap control quadratic and horizon dependent cost functions are defined. Traditional numerical optimization fails with longer prediction horizons, but a genetic algorithm can be effectively applied even for long horizons.

3D reconstruction with missing data has been a challenging computer vision task since the late 90s. This paper proposes a novel metric reconstruction algorithm dealing with the missing data problem. The algorithm is the adaption of the Fast Alternation method published by us in CAIP2007. We concentrate on metric instead of affine reconstruction because the quality of metric reconstruction is significantly better as it is demonstrated in this study. The solution is an alternation which consists of several substeps. All of these substeps are optimal with respect to the parameters that are being optimized. It is proved that the proposed algorithm converges to a local minimum. The solutions to the optimization subproblems in our approach are given by closed-form formulas, therefore the proposed method is relatively fast.
The current paper is dedicated to present browser-based multimedia-rich software tools and e-learning curriculum to support the design and modeling process of power electronics circuits and to explain sometimes rather...

Predictive control algorithms compute the manipulated variable minimizing a cost function considering expected future errors. PI control algorithms can be equipped with predictive properties. Simple predictive control algorithms are derived using approximation of an aperiodic process by a first-order model with dead time. Applying a noise model the robustness properties of the algorithm are enhanced considering plant-model mismatch. The noise filter is considered as a design parameter. Simulation examples demonstrate the behavior of the predictive PI algorithm and the robustifying effect of the noise filter.

Control theory deals with disciplines and methods leading to an automatic decision process in order to improve the performance of a control system. The evolution of control engineering is closely related to the evolution of the technology of sensors and actuators, and to the theoretical controller design methods and numerical techniques to be applied in real time computing. New control disciplines, new development in the technologies will fertilize quite new control application fields. Based on the contributions of the Technical Committees within CC2 the status report gives an overview of the current key problems in control theory and design, evaluates the recent major accomplishments and forecasts some new areas. It points out some control fields, which could be challenges for future research.

The paper presents a new design method for low-cost fuzzy control systems used in mechatronics, characterized by second-order dynamics of integral type, controlled by two-degree-of-freedom Pi-fuzzy controllers. The method, referred to as delta domain design, consists of three design steps based on continuous-time linear case design results expressed in terms of the Extended Symmetrical Optimum method applied in the delta domain, followed by the transfer of these results to the fuzzy case. The new design method and Mamdani Pi-fuzzy controllers are validated by real-time experiments in controlling a nonlinear servosystem.
