Road region detection is a crucial functionality for road following in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). To address the problem of environment interference in road segmentation through a monocular vision approach, a novel graph-cut based method is proposed in this paper. The novelty of this proposal is that weights of neighboring links (n-links) in a s-t graph are estimated by Multilayer Perceptrons (MLPs) rather than calculating by the neighboring contrast simply in previous graph-cut based methods. Estimating n-link weights by MLPs reinforces the ability of graph-cut based road segmentation algorithms to tolerate the complex and changeable appearance of road surfaces. Additionally, the Gentle AdaBoost algorithm is integrated into the graph-cut framework to estimate the terminal link (t-link) weights in the s-t graph. Experiments are conducted to show the robustness and efficiency of the proposed method.

Recently, localization has become an indispensable technique for wireless applications. In view of the limitation of global position system (GPS) in certain environments, alternative approaches are in demand. In this paper, we consider a cooperative localization approach named sum-product algorithm over a wireless network (SPAWN). Although SPAWN theoretically facilitates cooperative localization, it has several practical limitations. Specifically, SPAWN results in high computational complexity and increased network traffic. The main complexity of SPAWN lies in the selection of agents/anchors involved in the cooperative localization. To this end, we formulate the agent/anchor selection problem into a network formation game. Together with a practical limit on the number of agents/anchors used for cooperative localization, our proposed approach can markedly reduce the computational complexity and the resultant network traffic. Simulations show that these advantages come with a slight degradation in the localization mean squared error (MSE) performance.

In this paper, the adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) approach is employed for designing an optimal controller of unknown discrete-time nonlinear systems with control constraints. A neural network is constructed for identifying the unknown dynamical system with stability proof. Then, the iterative ADP algorithm is developed to solve the optimal control problem with convergence analysis. Two other neural networks are introduced for approximating the cost function and its derivatives and the control law, under the framework of globalized dual heuristic programming technique. Furthermore, two simulation examples are included to verify the theoretical results. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Knowledge is considered actionable if users can take direct actions based on such knowledge to their advantage. Among the most important and distinctive actionable knowledge are actionable behavioral rules that can directly and explicitly suggest specific actions to take to influence (restrain or encourage) the behavior in the users' best interest. However, in mining such rules, it often occurs that different rules may suggest the same actions with different expected utilities, which we call conflicting rules. To resolve the conflicts, a previous valid method was proposed. However, inconsistency of the measure for rule evaluating may hinder its performance. To overcome this problem, we develop a new method that utilizes rule ranking procedure as the basis for selecting the rule with the highest utility prediction accuracy. More specifically, we propose an integrative measure, which combines the measures of the support and antecedent length, to evaluate the utility prediction accuracies of conflicting rules. We also introduce a tunable weight parameter to allow the flexibility of integration. We conduct several experiments to test our proposed approach and evaluate the sensitivity of the weight parameter. Empirical results indicate that our approach outperforms those from previous research.

Vehicle electrification is envisioned to be a significant component of the forthcoming smart grid. In this paper, a smart grid vision of the electric vehicles for the next 30 years and beyond is presented from six perspectives pertinent to intelligent transportation systems: 1) vehicles;2) infrastructure;3) travelers;4) systems, operations, and scenarios;5) communications;and 6) social, economic, and political.

—Cyber Movement Organization (CMO) is a special kind of social movement organization on the Web. In this paper, we propose a model to simulate the mobilizing process of CMO, which consists of the individual unit, organization unit, and the mobilizing mechanisms. The mobilizing mechanisms has three sub-mechanisms: the participation mechanism, the choice mechanism, and the inviting mechanism. A dataset of more than two million “human flesh search” related microblogs is used to validate the model. Empirical results show that our model can capture the key features of the real-world mobilizing process.

Pose variation is one of the challenging factors for face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel cross-pose face recognition method named as Regularized Latent Least Square Regression (RLLSR). The basic assumption is that the images captured under different poses of one person can be viewed as pose-specific transforms of a single ideal object. We treat the observed images as regressor, the ideal object as response, and then formulate this assumption in the least square regression framework, so as to learn the multiple pose-specific transforms. Specifically, we incorporate some prior knowledge as two regularization terms into the least square approach: 1) the smoothness regularization, as the transforms for nearby poses should not differ too much;2) the local consistency constraint, as the distribution of the latent ideal objects should preserve the geometric structure of the observed image space. We develop an alternating algorithm to simultaneously solve for the ideal objects of the training individuals and a set of pose-specific transforms. The experimental results on the Multi-PIE dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and superiority over the previous methods.
