Modern societies increasingly rely on automatic controlsystems. These systems are hardly pure technical systems; instead they are complex socio-technical systems, which consist of technical elements and social components. It is necessary to have a systematic approach to analyze these systems because it is growing evidence that accidents from these systems usually have complex causal factors which form an interconnected network of events,rather than a simple cause-effect chain. We take railway Train controlsystems(TCS) as an example to demonstrate the importance of the socio-technical approach to analyze the system. The paper presents an investigation of recent high-speed railway accident by applying STAMP – one of the most notable socio-technical system analysis techniques, outlines improvements to the system which could avoid similar accidents in the future. We also provide our valuable feedback for the use of STAMP.

This paper provides a complete solution for the problem how to accurately compute the similarity between fuzzy sets with Gaussian membership functions, which is a fundamental issue for the identification and simplification of FNNs. It is shown that there are three different types of similarities between a pair of Gaussian membership functions dependent on the relative positioning between the given pair of membership functions, and the accurate and detailed computing formulas are given in each type. A simulation example is given to compare the proposed accurate similarity analysis method with the existing approximation approaches and to show how much more accuracy can be obtained than the approximation one in terms of absolute percentage approximation error.

The technique of stereo matching is an important research goal of spherical stereo vision system, which is widely used in visual navigation, motion analysis and panoramic surveillance areas. Fisheye lens can get view images of large field, this paper uses two fisheye lens whose optical axis are perpendicular to construct spherical stereo vision system and does research in stereo matching of spherical stereo vision system. As the image that fish eye lens collected has lager distortion, this paper does stereo matching with the images the system collected without distortion correction using matching algorithm based on maximally stable extremal regions (MSER) and affine scale invariant feature transform (ASIFT) to reduce the correction error generated in the process. The experiment results show that the algorithm can be applied in stereo matching of fish eye image without distortion, and the results meets the need of 3D reconstruction.

Relying on the two different regulatory effects of T cells of promoting or suppressing in varied immune phases,it ensures that the biological immune system responds rapidly and keeps its sound stability when different types of antigens invade,and thereby remains the balance within the biology *** for reference of the collaborative immune mechanism of the T cells and B cells in the biological specific immunity process,this paper presents an artificial immune approach and have it applied into the intelligent vehicle *** the model of the intelligent vehicle steering system is established,and then biological immune mechanism is interpreted with feedback control theory to achieve the intelligent control by artificial immune *** the end system simulation is conducted through MATLAB software and comparisons are made as well to the control effect of normal PID *** show that the artificial controllers work much better than the normal PID controllers in both response rate and dynamic *** approach provides a new feasible way for intelligent vehicle controlling.
This paper proposes a statistical method for no-reference image quality assessment using steerable pyramid decomposition without any prior knowledge about the distortions of the original image. Because the means of (l...

Mass localization is a crucial problem in computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the diagnosis of suspicious regions in mammograms. In this paper, a new automatic mass detection method for breast cancer in mammographic images is proposed. Firstly, suspicious regions are located with an adaptive region growing method, named multiple concentric layers (MCL) approach. Prior knowledge is utilized by tuning parameters with training data set during the MCL step. Then, the initial regions are further refined with narrow band based active contour (NBAC), which can improve the segmentation accuracy of masses. Texture features and geometry features are extracted from the regions of interest (ROI) containing the segmented suspicious regions and the boundaries of the segmentation. The texture features are computed from gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and completed local binary pattern (CLBP). Finally, the ROIs are classified by means of support vector machine (SVM), with supervision provided by the radiologist׳s diagnosis. To deal with the imbalance problem regarding the number of non-masses and masses, supersampling and downsampling are incorporated. The method was evaluated on a dataset with 429 craniocaudal (CC) view images, containing 504 masses. Among them, 219 images containing 260 masses are used to optimize the parameters during MCL step, and are used to train SVM. The remaining 210 images (with 244 masses) are used to test the performance. Masses are detected with 82.4% sensitivity with 5.3 false positives per image (FPsI) with MCL, and after active contour refinement, feature analysis and classification, it obtained 1.48 FPsI at the sensitivity 78.2%. Testing on 164 normal mammographic images showed 5.18 FPsI with MCL and 1.51 FPsI after classification. Experiments on mediolateral oblique (MLO) images have also been performed, the proposed method achieved a sensitivity 75.6% at 1.38 FPsI. The method is also analyzed with free response operating characteristi

In this paper, the accuracy of soft computing technique in solar radiation prediction based on series of measured meteorological data (monthly mean sunshine duration, monthly mean maximum and minimum temperature) taking from Iseyin meteorological station in Nigeria was examined. The process, which simulates the solar radiation with support vector regression (SVR), was constructed. The inputs were monthly mean maximum temperature (Tmax), monthly mean minimum temperature (Tmin) and monthly mean sunshine duration ( $$ \bar{n} $$ ). Polynomial and radial basis functions (RBF) are applied as the SVR kernel function to estimate solar radiation. According to the results, a greater improvement in estimation accuracy can be achieved through the SVR with polynomial basis function compared to RBF. The SVR coefficient of determination R 2 with the polynomial function was 0.7395 and with the radial basis function, the R 2 was 0.5877.
