This paper proposed a novel dual-threshold computation method of Canny edge detector based on gradient magnitude histogram (GMH), targeting with the adaptive acquisition of low-/high-threshold for unimodal hysteresis thresholding. With the introduction of the bowstring concept, which accurately measures the tendency of the GMH on the whole, the dual-threshold computation is implemented by adaptive-searching two tangent points with transitional characteristics. This skillful algorithm of the dual-threshold computation method is further evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve evaluation method. The detailed comparison to the Otsu's method is presented and demonstrates the reliability and robust performance of the proposed dual-threshold computation method.

This article proposes a multi-objective decomposition stochastic particle swarm optimization (MDSPSO) algorithm. In MDSPSO, every particle has a weighted vector constantly. Then, an improved Tchebycheff decomposition method is applied to decompose the multi-objective problem into some single-objective problems. The reference position of every particle is uniformly generated in the zone with the center which is the geometrical center of its current position, the best previous reference position as well as the swarm best reference position. The radius of this zone is the distance from the center to its current position. Then the particle is updated to the new position according to the reference position and its current velocity. The comparisons with the decomposition-based multi-objective particle swarm optimizer (dMOPSO), a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D), and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) show that the solutions of MDSPSO can be dominated at least with the best diversity. To reduce the computational time by finite element analysis for optimizing the structure parameters of linear motor, artificial neural network is used as the model to evaluate the performance. Finally, MDSPSO is applied to optimize four objectives simultaneously. The practical result is shown that the optimized linear motor has an increased thrust, improved efficiency, reduced fluctuation and manufacturing cost.

This paper considers the distributed attitude tracking problem of multiple spacecraft with disturbances and unknown inertia matrices. Based on the relative attitudes and angular velocities of neighboring spacecraft, we design a distributed robust controller to each follower to guarantee that the attitude errors between the followers and the leader converge to zero for any communication graph containing a directed spanning tree with the leader as the root. To deal with the problem of parameters uncertainties, we further propose a distributed adaptive sliding mode controller, under which the system is globally robust with respect to external disturbances and inertia matrices uncertainties.

This paper is concerned with the problem of data-driven predictive control for networked control systems (NCSs), which is designed by applying the subspace matrices technique, obtained directly from the input/output data transferred from networks. The networked predictive control consists of the control prediction generator and network delay compensator. The control prediction generator provides a set of future control predictions to make the closed-loop system achieve the desired control performance and the network delay compensator eliminates the effects of the network transmission delay. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated in simulation as well as experiment study.

Electro-hydraulic servo systems (EHSSs) have been widely used in industrial and military applications for their high power-to-size ratio and the ability to supply huge force. However, precise control of EHSSs cannot be easily obtained due to their inner nonlinearity and parameter uncertainty. Variable load is another factor to decrease the tracking performance of EHSSs. Indirect adaptive robust control (IARC) was proposed to improve the tracking performance of EHSS, but due to the poor parameter adapting speed, IARC can be further improved to have better performance. Traditional projection type parameter estimation algorithm is redesigned to increase the adapting speed when parameter is changed. A fast adaptive robust control (FARC) is then proposed to speed up the parameter adapting speed, so that a better tracking performance of FARC is maintained. Simulation results show that the proposed FARC gives an improved tracking performance and a faster parameter adaptation.

The navigation precision drops rapidly when MIMU (Micro Inertial Measurement Unit) works alone. Odometer data are easy to get on land vehicle, but the performance of integration system of MIMU/odometer is not enhanced obviously. In this work, a novel method is designed using nonholonomic constraints. When vehicle travels without slide and jump, the velocity in the plane perpendicular to forward direction is zero, as well as acceleration. Taking velocity constraint and acceleration constraint as measurement value, new measurement models are established. Integrated navigation algorithm is designed with the help of Kalman filter. With this method, the position error is 150m after 600s, and heading attitude error is 0.1°, comparing the result that the position error expands to 300m after 150s only aided by odometer.

The information fusion of vision sensor and Millimeter Wave(MMW) radar can enhance the adaptability of the Unmanned Ground Vehicle(UGV) to the complex environment. Space alignment is the basic step of information fusion. Based on the alignment problems camera and MMW radar has existed, firstly, according to the max velocity of UGV and the different attention on the close and far object, the calibration distance is determined and divided; then, a space alignment method is presented through the corresponding space point sets in image pixel coordinate of camera and polar coordinate of MMW radar. the results are verified through the experiment and the error is also analyzed.

In the high-precision and high-speed measurement system, the distortion of CCD pixes will give a greater margin of error to measurement results. According to the characteristic of noise leading to the image distortion, this article establishes the image transformation model. Data fitting based method is used for correcting image distortion. For the distortion caused by camera installation, the perspective transformation is used to correcting the image. And then the four points calibration method is adopted to calibrating the measurement system. Experiments adopt the high speed area array CCD to gather images with the circular facula in the target area launched by the laser, and calculate the real position of the facula in the target area, adopt the high accurate displacement sensor to give the true displacement of the target which is used to verify the real position of the facula in the target area. The results show that the algorithm can reduce the influence of image distortion, which advances the measurement accuracy efficiently.
