In formal language theory of two-dimensions, 2D picture grammars are powerful tools to generate picture languages. In this work, we incorporate the idea of membrane systems (also called P systems) into 2D picture grammars, thus introducing a new kind of picture language generating devices, named P systems with 2D picture grammars. Inspired by the structure and functioning of living cells, such a system has a hierarchical membrane structure, symbol array objects and evolution rules of 2D picture grammars. In each region delimited by the membrane structure, array objects can evolve in a parallel manner according to evolution rules present in the region, like the way biochemical objects evolve in living cells or organisms. The computational result of P system with 2D picture grammars is the set of pictures (rectangular arrays) present in a specific output membrane when the system halts. We obtain several comparison results, which show that with the membrane structure, the generating power of Siromoney matrix grammar, 2D context-free grammar and basic puzzle grammar can be enlarged.

This paper proposes a improved non-local means (NLM) filter for image denoising. Due to the drawback that the similarity is computed based on the noisy image, the traditional NLM method easily generates the artifacts in case of high-level noise. The proposed method first preprocesses the noisy image by Gaussian filter. Then, a moving window at each pixel of the noisy image is chosen as the search window, and meanwhile, a improved calculation method of spatial distance based on the preprocessed image is used for computing the similarity. Finally, combining the improved distance with search window based on the noisy image, the intensity of each pixel is restored as the traditional NLM method. The standard images are used to evaluate restoration performance of the proposed method. Additionally, the application on medical image denoising also demonstrates that our method is practical.

A low-cost device using acoustic method for measuring open-end tube length is developed. The proposed device is aimed to get the length of the tubes which are piled up together, and only one end of which is available in the warehouse or dumping areas. The device contains the emitting and receiving probes to echo the sound pulse and receive the reflection sound wave, and has been developed with discrete component circuits whose key part is the logical control circuit based on ARM. Experiments are performed in the open tubes with the lengths between 0.85 m to 6 m. The measurement error is below 0.5 cm. For the tubes blocked by the cement or earth, the device can detect the location of obstruction automatically. Based on the acoustic method, experiments are also conducted in the blocked tubes based on Matlab software, and the analysis of the reflection wave is given.

Recognizing the user motion intention plays an important role in the study of power-assist robots. An intention-guided control strategy is proposed for the upper-limb power-assist exoskeleton. A force sensor system comprised of force sensing resistors (FSRs) is designed to online estimate the motion intention of user upper limb. A new concept called “intentional reaching direction (IRD)” is proposed to quantitatively describe this intention. Both the state model and the observation model of IRD are obtained by enumerating the upper limb behavior modes and analyzing the relationship between the measured force signals and the motion intention. Based on these two models, the IRD can be online inferred by applying filtering technology. Guided by the estimated IRD, an admittance control strategy is assumed to control the motions of three DC motors in the joints of the robotic arm. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is finally confirmed by the experiments on a 3-DOF robotic exoskeleton.
