This paper gives a tutorial on how to prove Lyapunov type criteria by optimal control methods. Firstly, we consider stability criteria on Hill’s equations with nonnegative potential. By optimal control methods developed in 1990s, we obtain several stability criteria including Lyapunov’s criterion, Neǐgauz and Lidskiǐ’s criterion. Secondly, we present stability criteria on Hill’s equations with sign-changing potential in which Brog’s criterion and Krein’s criterion are included.

Recent research on graph embedding has achieved success in various applications. Most graph embedding methods preserve the proximity in a graph into a manifold in an embedding space. We argue an important but neglected problem about this proximity-preserving strategy: Graph topology patterns, while preserved well into an embedding manifold by preserving proximity, may distort in the ambient embedding Euclidean space, and hence to detect them becomes difficult for machine learning models. To address the problem, we propose curvature regularization, to enforce flatness for embedding manifolds, thereby preventing the distortion. We present a novel angle-based sectional curvature, termed ABS curvature, and accordingly three kinds of curvature regularization to induce flat embedding manifolds during graph embedding. We integrate curvature regularization into five popular proximity-preserving embedding methods, and empirical results in two applications show significant improvements on a wide range of open graph datasets.

In recent years, the unlabeled augmented reality system has been gradually applied to various mobile devices, among which stable, accurate, and fast registration is the key to realizing this function. For this technique, this paper introduces camera exposure parameters and puts the data association and pose estimation into a unified nonlinear optimization problem. Moreover, the direct monocular vision odometer is transplanted into the augmented reality system through the position adjustment module. We compare it with the traditional visual odometry method that matches the feature points. The results show that this improved method can be used to track more quickly and build a more visual semi-dense point cloud map, which can be used to support the registration and tracking of virtual objects in augmented reality.

Topic modeling is a mainstream and effective technology to deal with text data, with wide applications in text analysis, natural language, personalized recommendation, computer vision, etc. Among all the known topic models, supervised Latent Dirichlet Allocation (sLDA) is acknowledged as a popular and competitive supervised topic model. How- ever, the gradual increase of the scale of datasets makes sLDA more and more inefficient and time-consuming, and limits its applications in a very narrow range. To solve it, a parallel online sLDA, named PO-sLDA (Parallel and Online sLDA), is proposed in this study. It uses the stochastic variational inference as the learning method to make the training procedure more rapid and efficient, and a parallel computing mechanism implemented via the MapReduce framework is proposed to promote the capacity of cloud computing and big data processing. The online training capacity supported by PO-sLDA expands the application scope of this approach, making it instrumental for real-life applications with high real-time demand. The validation using two datasets with different sizes shows that the proposed approach has the comparative accuracy as the sLDA and can efficiently accelerate the training procedure. Moreover, its good convergence and online training capacity make it lucrative for the large-scale text data analyzing and processing.

In this paper, we design a hybrid (semi-direct) approach to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for monocular cameras and apply it to augmented reality (AR) for monocular cameras. We combine the advantagesof the direct method and the feature point method. We use both photometric bundle adjustment which is robust to camera exposure time and motion bundle adjustment which is geometrically robust based on feature points to do tracking process. This approach can maintain an intuitive direct local map as well as a reusable global sparse feature point map. Through the processing of point clouds, such as PCA plane detection and grid reconstruction, we greatly improve the effect of the augmented reality system.

In recent years, image fusion becomes one of the important technique in information fusion fields. In this paper, we proposed a Deep Learning-based pyramid pooling dense convolutional neural network for multi-focus image fusion problem. The PDenseCNN we proposed can accurately detect the clear regions and generate a fused decision feature map, afterward, morphological operation and guided filter are used to optimize the initial map. Finally, it can obtain a clear fusion image based on weighted-sum strategy. The experimental results proved that the proposed method can obtain accurate decision maps and state-of-art fusion results on both visual effect and objective evaluation assessment.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in aerial photography nowadays for their strong maneuverability, good image quality and high cost performance, while they have limited battery capacity and difficulty in operation. It is difficult to reach the ideal pose and get the desired shot by manual manipulation in a short time. To solve these problems, an UAV pose estimation system guided by desired shot is constructed. Either a sequence of images or a video is taken as input. The user interacts with the system to express the desired shot. The 3D-reconstruction is done by Structure from Motion (SfM). Then the Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problem is solved to estimate the ideal pose of the UAV. The experimental results proves that the system is effective and valid.
