As the computing technology develops, micro-simulation becomes more and more important in the Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) research, because it can provide detailed descriptions of the system. However, for a multi-agent systems (MAS) modelling of an ITS, the computation burden is large, as it involves the computation of the state changing of all the agents. Further, if we consider simulation based optimization, which can be simply understood as an intelligent way of running a number of micro-simulations, the computation burden is huge. Moreover, there are multiple objective optimization problems in the ITS. The Vector Ordinal Optimization (VOO) method is a powerful tool for multi-objective optimization. In this paper, we apply VOO to the problem of optimizing the stop times and delay time of an ITS. We test the method on a 4 intersection lattice road network, and on the 18 intersection road network of the Zhongguancun area of Beijing. Compared with the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) method, the VOO method can achieve a speedup of factor of more than 150, with only a little sacrifice of performance.

keyword spotting is the task of identifying the occurrences of certain desired keywords in an arbitrary speech signal. keyword spotting has many applications. One of them is emergency voice alarm systems, like command control and smart monitoring ATM etc. This paper presents a sensitive keyword spotting system applied to voice alarm occasions. By sensitive keyword retrieval, emergency warning systems can automatically monitor and follow up the situation, find the crisis occurs, and then give the alarm. Automatically retrieving and tracking for the particular occasion can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but is also more efficient. So the study of this subject has great reality and application value.

A single click ensemble segmentation (SCES) approach based on an existing "Click & Grow" algorithm is presented. The SCES approach requires only one operator selected seed point as compared with multiple operator inputs, which are typically needed. This facilitates processing large numbers of cases. Evaluation on a set of 129 CT lung tumor images using a similarity index (SI) was done. The average SI is above 93% using 20 different start seeds, showing stability. The average SI for 2 different readers was 79.53%. We then compared the SCES algorithm with the two readers, the level set algorithm and the skeleton graph cut algorithm obtaining an average SI of 78.29%, 77.72%, 63.77% and 63.76%, respectively. We can conclude that the newly developed automatic lung lesion segmentation algorithm is stable, accurate and automated. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, containment control for continuous-time multi-agent systems with multiple interacting leaders is investigated. According to the role each agent plays in the multi-agent team, the agents are classified into two categories: leaders and followers. The containment control problem in this paper is that the leaders converge to a desired formation and the followers move into the convex hull spanned by the leaders' final positions. A sufficient condition for containment control is that the union of the interaction graphs has a spanning tree frequently enough as the system evolves. It is shown that the followers' positions in the convex hull are dynamic due to the switching topology. The theoretical results are illustrated by some simulations.

An object grasping method based on fuzzy approaching for a mobile manipulator with an Eye-in-Hand CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor) camera was proposed. The approaching guidance identifier with double cross was recognized by the mobile manipulator, and the angle between the line from mobile platform to the center of the identifier and its heading direction were served as the inputs of fuzzy controller. A double input and single output fuzzy controller was designed to regulate the direction of the mobile platform for smooth approaching. When the object (a red cylinder with double black lines) was in the workspace of manipulator, the mobile platform stops and the object was grasped by the manipulator with its joint angles solved based on inverse kinematics. Experiments results show the validity of the proposed approach.

License Plate Recognition based on machine vision has been widely used in ITS(Intelligent Transportation System) and Smart Parking System. In this paper, we developed a system which included the image acquisition, license plate location, character segmentation and character recognition. To improve the accuracy of the license plate location, we improved the effect of the binary image positioning method. In character segmentation, we solved several typical license plate characteristics. In order to improve the accuracy of segmentation, we have taken a variety of methods to deal with their respective characteristics. In character recognition, we use template matching method and considered whether to consider the background matching. In the system, we just adopted the image recognition to recognize the characters. With no significant exposure, the area of license plate is more than 1/5 of the total images, we can get a good recognition.

A motion control method for mobile robot based on sub-regions evaluation in local sensing environment was proposed. Firstly, the local environment was divided into multiple sub-regions based on the sensing information provided by laser range finder. Then, each sub-region was evaluated by considering the distance influence factor, as well as visual guide and memory-based judgment. Finally, the optimal sub-region adapted to current environment will be used for motion decision of mobile robot. Experimental results show that the proposed method is capable of dividing sensing environment into multiple sub-regions and producing the optimal sub-region adapted to current environment. Motion control for robot was realized and the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified.

Social networks often serve as a critical medium for information dissemination, diffusion of epidemics, and spread of behavior, by shared activities or similarities be- tween individuals. Recently, we have witnessed an explosion of interest in studying social influence and spread dynamics in social networks. To date, relatively little material has been provided on a comprehensive review in this field. This brief survey addresses this issue. We present the current significant empirical studies on real social systems, including network construction methods, measures of network, and newly em- pirical results. We then provide a concise description of some related social models from both macro- and micro-level per- spectives. Due to the difficulties in combining real data and simulation data for verifying and validating real social sys- tems, we further emphasize the current research results of computational experiments. We hope this paper can provide researchers significant insights into better understanding the characteristics of personal influence and spread patterns in large-scale social systems.

A robotic fish propelling itself by two long fins was designed and implemented from the inspiration of stingrays. The yaw control of this robotic fish was studied. The dynamic model was studied based on the stress analysis of the robotic fish. A yaw controller was designed based on the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique. The model error and external disturbance were unified into a total system disturbance, which was estimated by an extended state observer. By compensating the total system disturbance in the control signal, the yaw control system was simplified to a typical second order cascade integral system which could be easily controlled by use of a more effective nonlinear feedback control. The ADRC based yaw controller was verified through simulations showing that the designed controller can effectively control the yaw angle of the robotic fish and has good dynamic and static characteristics.

Robot have been increasingly and significantly more powerful and intelligent over the last decade, and moving towards more service oriented roles. Imitation learning and human-robot interaction play important roles in effectively improving robot's intelligence and ability to co-work with human being. This paper reviews the current state of the art in robot learning and controlling based on imitation learning and human-robot interaction. Recent research, imitation, and the control strategy for imitation learning are addressed. Human-robot physical interaction and multi-modal interaction are emphasized.
