We present an antialiasing method using combined wavelet-Fourier transform and spatially adaptive shrinkage of the transform coefficients. Traditional antialiasing methods employ a simple low-pass filter onto the entire image, so the resulting image loses not only aliasing artifacts but also high-frequency components such as edges and ridges. The proposed algorithm analyzes the property of the LL subband of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and reduces aliasing artifacts using patch-adaptive shrinkage of the DWT coefficients. More specifically, an antialiased LL subband is obtained using adaptive patch-based aliasing reduction. To detect an aliased region, we subtract the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients of the LL subband from the DFT coefficients of antialiased LL subband. The detected aliasing artifacts in the LH, HL, and HH subbands are reduced by patch-wise adaptive shrinkage of the transform coefficients. The resulting antialiased image is obtained using the inverse DWT. The aliasing artifacts can be efficiently reduced by adaptively shrinking wavelet transform coefficients for preserving high-frequency image details. The proposed antialiasing algorithm is suitable for removing aliasing artifacts which frequently occur in imaging sensors with limited resolution.

A graphic processing unit (GPU)-accelerated biological species recognition method using partially connected neural evolutionary network model is introduced in this paper. The partial connected neural evolutionary network adopted in the paper can overcome the disadvantage of traditional neural network with small inputs. The whole image is considered as the input of the neural network, so the maximal features can be kept for recognition. To speed up the recognition process of the neural network, a fast implementation of the partially connected neural network was conducted on NVIDIA Tesla C1060 using the NVIDIA compute unified device architecture (CUDA) framework. Image sets of eight biological species were obtained to test the GPU implementation and counterpart serial CPU implementation, and experiment results showed GPU implementation works effectively on both recognition rate and speed, and gained 343 speedup over its counterpart CPU implementation. Comparing to feature-based recognition method on the same recognition task, the method also achieved an acceptable correct rate of 84.6% when testing on eight biological species.

This paper presents the extension of the previously proposed method for multi-agent formation control based on potential function. The method derived for 2D space is extended to 3D. It has been shown that the control algorithm keeps all the properties of the original scheme in case of multi-agent formation moving in 3D. An adaptation mechanism that assures avoidance of unwanted stable equilibria, used in 2D, is implemented in the same form for 3D formations. The obtained simulation results demonstrate stable behavior of the system for various sets of parameters - the desired 3D formation is reached in finite time and maintained during trajectory execution.

Animals use stochastic search strategies to find a potential nest or to localize the food source. Animals do not rely much on the environmental cues or their sensory inputs. Since their cognitive capabilities are rather limited, search strategies are usually simplistic and stochastic. And yet such simple search strategies result in high efficiency in finding potential targets in limited time intervals. Similar problems with perception of the environment and limited computational power and sensory inputs are observed on the mobile robots used in search scenarios. In spite of their limitations, such robotic systems usually perform deterministic search strategies which heavily depend on environmental cues and sensory input. The research question we are addressing in this paper is which stochastic search strategy has the best performance in terms of area coverage and can stochastic search strategies outperform deterministic search strategies.

In this paper, the theory of a nonlinear control technique, i.e., the composite nonlinear feedback control is considered for robust tracking of a class of linear systems with time varying uncertain parameters and disturbances. This controller can guarantee that the tracking error decreases asymptotically to zero in the presence of time varying uncertain parameters and disturbances. For performance improvement of dynamical system, this proposed robust tracking controller consists of linear and nonlinear feedback parts without any switching element. The linear feedback law is designed to yield a closed loop system with a small damping ratio for the existence of a quick response. On the other hand, the nonlinear feedback law is designed to increase the damping ratio as the system output approaches the output of the reference model. Finally, the simulations of applying the control law on a DC servomotor positioning system are given to illustrate the validity of the results developed in this paper.
