The classical mean shift tracking algorithm is apt to make errors or lose the target if the target is occluded for a very long time. Thus an improved mean shift tracking algorithm is proposed. This algorithm divides the target into multiple fragments and integrates spatial information by using different weights of each image fragment. The similarity coefficient between target template and candidate template consists of the Bhattacharyya coefficients of the corresponding multiple fragments. Experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient when the target is occluded for a long time. A new method named edge-histogram is used. This method is based on original scale updating mechanism and make a further judgment that whether the target is smaller or not by calculating the Bhattacharyya coefficient between the target's edge-histograms of the current frame and the previous one. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can deal with the scale problem very well.

In order to achieve the goal of data statistic and task management under the embedded systems, together with the consideration of processing speed and the internal storage capacity, the embedded database is introduced. The features of embedded database are small in size, multi-functional, portable, highly efficient and stable. Taking the data management in the home energy monitor system as an example, a statistical method of time sharing is proposed. The embedded database Berkeley DB is transplanted, and the resource occupancy and response speed before and after using Berkeley DB are compared. Testing data show that although taking up more storage resources, the use of Berkeley DB provides more efficient data management capabilities. The application of Berkeley DB improves the system response, and provides a better human-computer interaction. Under the allowance of the hardware resources of device, this practice of using space for performance is feasible.

When it comes to the issue of path planning for mobile service robots in structured indoor environments, traditional A* algorithm fails to display a good performance of real-time path tracking. Therefore, a new method is proposed to design a near-optimal smooth path. Mobile robots can thus track the path smoothly and reach the goal fast. At first, the improved A* algorithm is applied to plan a proper trajectory for the mobile robot. Then a key-point optimization process is applied to make the global path simplified to be connections among a series of key points. The most important improvement lies in the introduction of the polar polynomials curve to smooth the path according to the constraints of position, curvature and slope. However, when the arc turns become 90° or more, the optimized piecewise-polynomial-function curve is generated to replace the original one. Experimental results prove that the path generated meets the dynamic characteristics of the mobile robots as well as the geometric features. The requirements of quick real-time computation of path tracking process can be well satisfied.

A new phase-shifting error compensating algorithm for phase-measuring profilometry is proposed. In this error detecting algorithm, it is supposed that sinusoidal fringe is projected to the plate, thus the phase differences between adjacent pixels are equal. Three adjacent phase points are taken as the research object. Combining the principle of phase compensation measurement, each phase of the point is presented as an equation containing the phase-shifting error. According to the characteristics that the phase differences between adjacent pixels are equal, an equation to calculate the phase-shifting error is constructed. Then the phase shifting error is taken into account in the original algorithm for error compensation. Simulation results show the inhibitory effect of the error compensation by using the novel algorithm. The proposed algorithm is also used for three-dimensional reconstruction. The final result shows that the new compensation algorithm is better than the original one obviously. This error compensating algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of three-dimensional measurement.

The memory state feedback control problem for a class of discrete-time systems with input delay and unknown state delay is addressed based on LMIs and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method. Under the action of our designed adaptive control law, the unknown time-delay parameter is included in memory state feedback controller. Using LMI technique, delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the existence of the feedback controller are obtained. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed design method is demonstrated by a numerical example.

A networked mobile robot in large networks such as Internet often operates under supervisory control and the discrete commands and decisions from the remote operators normally depend on the feedback scene information. Therefore it must be tolerate of the significant and unpredicted time latency that might mislead the robot for time and scene-dependent operations. A series of strategies are presented in this paper to decrease the latency impact and implement scene specified control of a Internet-based mobile robot. Time stamps are attached to each communication packet of scene video, audio and environment information from the robot to remote operator's computer for display, which then sends back control decision or command of the right time stamps with the scene when needed. By allocating a memory buffer for current display and recent status even including video frames the robot recalls the environment with the event time stamps as searching index, which helps to estimate the exact robot position or operation. Reverse position and motion are conducted according to estimation from the memorized information. The strategies have been introduced to improve a practical networked mobile robot control platform with experiment validity given in detail.
