Scene text detection could be formulated as a bi-label (text and non-text regions) segmentation problem. However, due to the high degree of intraclass variation of scene characters as well as the limited number of training samples, single information source or classifier is not enough to segment text from non-text background. Thus, in this paper, we propose a novel scene text detection approach using graph model built upon Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSERs) to incorporate various information sources into one framework. Concretely, after detecting MSERs in the original image, an irregular graph whose nodes are MSERs, is constructed to label MSERs as text regions or non-text ones. Carefully designed features contribute to the unary potential to assess the individual penalties for labeling a MSER node as text or non-text, and color and geometric features are used to define the pairwise potential to punish the likely discontinuities. By minimizing the cost function via graph cut algorithm, different information carried by the cost function could be optimally balanced to get the final MSERs labeling result. The proposed method is naturally context-relevant and scale-insensitive. Experimental results on the ICDAR 2011 competition dataset show that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods both in recall and precision. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

This paper is concerned with a novel generalized policy iteration algorithm for solving optimal control problems for discrete-time nonlinear systems. The idea is to use an iterative adaptive dynamic programming algorithm to obtain iterative control laws which make the iterative value functions converge to the optimum. Initialized by an admissible control law, it is shown that the iterative value functions are monotonically nonincreasing and converge to the optimal solution of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, under the assumption that a perfect function approximation is employed. The admissibility property is analyzed, which shows that any of the iterative control laws can stabilize the nonlinear system. Neural networks are utilized to implement the generalized policy iteration algorithm, by approximating the iterative value function and computing the iterative control law, respectively, to achieve approximate optimal control. Finally, numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the present generalized policy iteration algorithm.

We propose a dictionary-based dense light field acquisition technique. This technique captures light field successfully from a sparse camera array with no mask or any other optical modifications on cameras. Light rays in wider field are captured by our system to achieve larger disparity and higher angular resolution. We also accelerate the reconstruction of light field significantly by a local sliding window which applies median filter only in disaster areas and acquire satisfactory quality. In our experiments, light field with 7x7 views at resolution of 384x512 is restored from 5 cameras with PSNR of 33.0192dB with a computing time of 1.85 hours on a consumer-grade desktop computer.

In this paper, an optimal control scheme of a class of unknown discrete-time nonlinear systems with dead-zone control constraints is developed using adaptive dynamic programming (ADP). First, the discrete-time Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (DTHJB) equation is derived. Then, an improved iterative ADP algorithm is constructed which can solve the DTHJB equation approximately. Combining with Riemann integral, detailed proofs of existence and uniqueness of the solution are also presented. It is emphasized that this algorithm allows the implementation of optimal control without knowing internal system dynamics. Moreover, the approach removes the requirements of precise parameters of the dead-zone. Finally, simulation studies are given to demonstrate the performance of the present approach using neural networks.

This paper presents the design and implementation of leaping control methods for replicating highspeed dolphin leaping behavior. With full consideration of both mechanical configuration and propulsive principle of a physical robot comprising one neck joint, two propulsive joints, and a pair of two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) mechanical flippers, closed-loop pitch, roll, yaw, and depth control methods are integrated to accomplish precise attitude control. Specifically, two pitch control strategies are proposed to separately satisfy small and large pitch requirements based on the real-time feedback of the pitch angle, while the roll controller is further implemented as a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) loop. A combination of pitch and roll control is utilized to regulate the desired pitch maneuvers. Finally, a parameterized five-phase leaping control algorithm instead of Weihs's three-phase porpoising model is implemented on the self-contained real robot, enabling the examination of biological leaping phenomena which are hard to observe or measure. Latest experimental results reveal that besides high speeds exceeding the minimum exit speeds, the pitch control closely related to pitch angle and submersion depth is another critical factor contributing to effective dolphin leaping.

The fact that the linear estimators using the rank-based Wilcoxon approach in linear regression problems are usually insensitive to outliers is known in statistics. Outliers are the data points that differ greatly from the pattern set by the bulk of the data. Inspired by this fact, Hsieh et al. introduced the Wilcoxon approach into the area of machine learning. They investigated four new learning machines, such as Wilcoxon neural network (WNN), and developed four gradient descent based backpropagation algorithms to train these learning machines. The performances of these machines are better than ordinary nonrobust neural networks in outliers exist tasks. However, it is hard to balance the learning speed and the stability of these algorithms which is inherently the drawback of gradient descent based algorithms. In this paper, a new algorithm is used to train the output weights of single-layer feedforward neural networks (SLFN) with input weights and biases being randomly chosen. This algorithm is called Wilcoxon-norm based robust extreme learning machine or WRELM for short. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
