On visual tracking, a particle filter algorithm was presented to track a moving target under clutter environment which can deal with rotation, scale changes, variations in the light source and partial occlusions. So it can track the target with robustness. The proposed method was based on particle filter, integrated with color histogram in the measurement model, and the system model was second order autoregressive process. The algorithm took into account the latest observations and the tracked target can be rigid or non-rigid. Also the method can run in real-time. The experimental results confirm that the method is effective even when the monocular camera is moving and the target object is partially occluded in a clutter background.

A transient, six-cylinder diesel engine model for cold test has been developed for analyzing the engine fault through the engine torque curve. The model is based on physically working cycle, thermodynamic theory and dynamics mechanism. The simulation of this model, implemented on Matlab/Simulink, can not only achieve engine faults detection before hot test, but also indicate different causes of engine faults, such as initial phase change, intake valve closing-time delay, and so on. It is shown that the diesel engine model for cold test proves its significance to improving cold test technology.

To control the mobile robot with the surrounding information is the essential method to realize the intelligence and automatic moving. The vision information is the most important way to perceive the environment for the mobile robot. This paper presents an essential camera calibration technique for mobile robot, which is based on Pioneer II experiment platform. The technique includes transformation of coordinates system for vision system, the model and principle of image formation, camera distortion calibration. Because of non-linear distortion of camera, algorithm with optimizing operators is presented to improve calibration precision. We verify the validity and feasibility of the algorithm through experiment.

Multi-robot tracking of mobile target is studied in the paper, which is based on the communication and sensors. For an independent tracking robot, the processes are separated into three layers and four tasks, and allocated to different robots for distinct roles in tracking, which is named the Distributed Decision control System (DDCS). After that, two tracking models, centralized and distributed models, are designed for multi-robot tracking. Furthermore, a Proportional Navigation Guidance Law (PNGL) and l-ϕ formation control algorithm are mentioned to realize the robot motion control. At last the simulation has shown the feasibility and validity of both models.

Liquid State Machine (LSM) is a newly developed computational model with many interesting properties. It has great advantages of dealing with biologic computing when compared to the traditional computational model. In this paper, the LSM was used to deal with the direction classification problem of the spike series which were distilled from the neurons in motor cortex of a monkey. In the output layer, a linear regression and back-propagation are employed as the training algorithms. Compare to outcomes of the two algorithms, it is showed that ideal classification results were derived when using BP as the training algorithm.

To overcome the main drawbacks of global minimal for active contour models (L. D. Cohen and Ron Kimmel) that the contour is only extracted partially for low SNR images, Method of boundary extraction based on Schrödinger Equation is proposed. Our Method is based on computing the numerical solutions of initial value problem for second order nonlinear Schrödinger equation by using discrete Fourier Transformation. Schrödinger transformation of image is first given. We compute the probability P(b,a) that a particle moves from a point a to another point b according to I-Type Schrödinger transformation of image and obtain boundary of object by using quantum contour model.

Multiobjective evolutionary clustering approach has been successfully utilized in data clustering. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised machine learning algorithm namely multiobjective evolutionary clustering ensemble algorithm (MECEA) to perform the texture image segmentation. MECEA comprises two main phases. In the first phase, MECEA uses a multiobjective evolutionary clustering algorithm to optimize two complementary clustering objectives: one based on compactness in the same cluster, and the other based on connectedness of different clusters. The output of the first phase is a set of Pareto solutions, which correspond to different tradeoffs between two clustering objectives, and different numbers of clusters. In the second phase, we make use of the meta-clustering algorithm (MCLA) to combine all the Pareto solutions to get the final segmentation. The segmentation results are evaluated by comparing with three known algorithms: K-means, fuzzy K-means (FCM), and evolutionary clustering algorithm (ECA). It is shown that MECEA is an adaptive clustering algorithm, which outperforms the three algorithms in the experiments we carried out.

In this paper, a variant of support vector novelty detection (SVND) with dot product kernels is presented for non-spherical distributed data. Firstly we map the data in input space into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) by using kernel trick. Secondly we perform whitening process on the mapped data using kernel principal component analysis (KPCA). Finally, we adopt SVND method to train and test whitened data. Experiments were performed on artificial and real-world data.
