In this paper, we present a real-time stereo vision based pose and motion estimation system that will be used for landing an unmanned helicopter on a moving target such as a ship deck. The vision algorithm mainly consists of a feature extraction task and a pose and motion estimation task. The 2D planer target with regular features defined can significantly simplify the feature extraction task such as corner detection and feature points matching. To effectively estimate the distance between the camera carrier and target a stereo camera system is applied. By means of sub-pixel corner location the precisions of pose estimation and relative motion detection can be improved. We present results from semi-physical simulation which show that our vision algorithm is accurate and robust. The methodology provides an effective subsystem for the development of autonomous robot helicopter that will land on a given target under the guide of vision.

This paper addresses the problem of stability for two-dimensional systems with delays in the state. To solve this problem, the Lyapunov second method is used. The resulting condition is written in terms of linear matrix inequalities and it is dependent on the size of delays. This fact allows us to reduce the conservatism in the stability analysis of two-dimensional systems with state delays. A simulation example is given to illustrate the theoretical developments

Since IEC 61499 has reached the state of an international standard and a substantial body of research results exists the question of the authors as main intention for this paper was: Do the models of IEC 61499 solve all problems when thinking of usability and interoperability in heterogeneous system environments? The main problems discussed within the paper concern to the execution model defined for basic function blocks and the scheduling of events within function block networks.

The goal to control the dynamics of high-rise buildings either to ameliorate the damage or prevent their destruction when subject to an earthquake excitation has been subject of extensive research. All known control designs have advantages and disadvantages as well as operating limits. The application of sliding-mode control to controlling earthquake induced vibrations of a multi-story structural system as an active seismic compensation plus base isolation has been investigated. The performance has been compared to the one of traditional industrial controls, and relevant conclusions drawn. Simulation results, carried out using El Centro earthquake acceleration, have shown that the sliding mode control can decrease significantly displacements of the floors.

This paper describes property evaluation and clustering of sensor data that depends on different gas types and their concentrations. The application subject is to find gas specific information by a multidimensional feature set to give qualitative and quantitative statements. This is investigated by different clustering methods, the fuzzy-c-means algorithm and its derivatives and neural networks. The resulting patterns will be deployed as recognition field for gas detection, that takes recalibration mechanisms into consideration.

The current work presents an API based on the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) that optimizes real-time embedded systems development. Using this API it is possible to state non-functional specifications, like time constraints, and guarantee its implementation in the selected platform. Moreover, it discusses how real-time requirements derived from the RT-UML standard can be mapped to the elements from the proposed API. An integrated toolset is used to support the intermediate steps of this mapping process. The paper illustrates the mapping mechanism by means of a case study that implements the control system of an automated wheelchair.
