A backstepping design for an aircraft described by rigid body dynamics is proposed. The system states are the unit velocity vector and the angular velocity in a body-fixed coordinate system. The result can be viewed as a multi-variable controller for angle of attack, sideslip angle, and velocity vector roll rate. The backstepping design is performed on the rigid body dynamics described on vector form. The resulting controller achieves convergence to a desired state from almost all starting points. Guidelines are given for tuning the controller to affect the characteristics of the short period mode, the roll mode and the dutch roll mode. A coupled high angle of attack, high roll rate maneuver is simulated using a simplified aircraft model to illustrate the design.

In this paper we deal with the Galileo BOC(1, 1) signal tracking loop optimization. It is shown that the DLL/PLL/FLL design can be shown as an optimal controller design problem. A state space model is derived for Galileo signal tracking problem. Based on this a combined DLL/PLL/FLL is design by use of the Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) optimal control theory. The LQG loop filter is a regulator. It derives the total code and phase tracking errors as small as possible and results in the minimum mean squared error control performance. Therefore we can optimally design a combined receiver loop filters for code, carrier, and frequency tracking. This could results in an improved tracking performance over the conventionally, separately and independently designed tracking loops. The designed tracking loops are applied to real Galileo BOC(1, 1) signal received from the GlOVE-A satellite. Signal processing results showed improved tracking performance of the LQG based tracking loops over the conventional approach.

The aim of this paper is to obtain a model for an in-scale fast-ferry model TF-120 including the dynamics and kinematics, using a remote experimentation platform for marine vehicles. The physical model is autonomous and is controlled remotely from a PC using Wi-Fi communications. The identification and validation of the dynamical model is obtained with turning circle maneuverings. In this model are included the kinematical equations. The tests with the autonomous in-scale physical model of the high-speed ship were carried out in the surroundings of the Bay of Santander. With this model. simulations with several turbojets angles are made.

In the present study, an efficient strategy for retrieving texture images from large texture databases is introduced and studied within a distributional-statistical framework. Our approach incorporates the multivariate Wald-Wolfowitz test (WW-test), a non-parametric statistical test that measures the similarity between two different sets of multivariate data, which is utilized here for comparing texture distributions. By summarizing the texture information using standard feature extraction methodologies, the similarity measure provides a comprehensive estimate of the match between different images based on graph theory. The proposed "distributional metric" is shown to handle efficiently the texture space dimensionality and the limited sample size drawn from a given image. The experimental results, from the application on a typical texture database, clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach over other texture distribution (dis)similarity metrics. In addition, its performance is used to evaluate several approaches for texture representation. Even though the classification results are obtained on grayscale images, a direct extension to color-based ones can be straightforward. Copyright 2007 ACM.

Based on the delay-independent rule, the problem of optimal guaranteed cost control for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy descriptor systems with time-varying delay is studied. A linear quadratic cost function is considered as the performance index of the closed-loop system. Sufficient conditions for the existence of guaranteed cost controllers via state feedback are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and the design of an optimal guaranteed cost controller can be reduced to a convex optimization problem. It is shown that the designed controller not only guarantees the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop fuzzy descriptor delay system, but also provides an optimized upper bound of the guaranteed cost. At last, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the perfect performance of the optimal guaranteed cost controller.

This paper presents a method for gender and age estimation which is robust for facial pose changing. We propose a feature point detection method which is the Adapted Retinal Sampling Method (ARSM), and a feature extraction method. A basic concept of the ARSM is to add knowledge about the facial structure into the Retinal Sampling Method. In this method, feature points are detected based on 7 points corresponding to facial organ from face image. The reason why we used 7 points to basis of feature point detection is that facial organ is conspicuous in facial region, and it is comparatively easy to extract. As features which is robust for facial pose changing, a skin texture, a hue and a gabor jet are used for the gender and age estimation. For classification of gender and estimation of seriate age, we use a multi-layered neural network. Moreover, we examine the left-right symmetric property of the face concerning gender and age estimation by the proposed method.
