In this paper, a multiple-object tracking approach in large-scale scene is proposed based on visual sensor network. Firstly, the object detection is carried out by extracting the HOG features. Then, object tracking is performed based on an improved particle filter method. On the one hand, a kind of temporal and spatial dynamic model is designed to improve the tracking precision. On the other hand, the cumulative error generated from evaluating particles is eliminated through an appearance model. In addition, losses of the tracking will be incurred for several reasons, such as occlusion, scene switching and leaving. When the object is in the scene under monitoring by visual sensor network again, object tracking will continue through object re-identification. Finally, continuous multiple-object tracking in large-scale scene is implemented. A database is established by collecting data through the visual sensor network. Then the performances of object tracking and object re-identification are tested. The effectiveness of the proposed multiple-object tracking approach is verified.

A computational model of visual cortex has raised great interest in developing algorithms mimicking human visual systems. The max-operation is employed in the model to emulate the scale and position invariant responses of the visual cells. We further extend this idea to enhance the tolerance of visual classification against the general intra-class variability. A general architecture of the basic block constituting the model is first presented. The architecture adaptively chooses the best matching template from a set of competing templates to predict the label of the incoming sample. To optimize the non-convex and non-smooth objective function resulted, we develop an algorithm to train each template alternately. Experiments show that the proposed method significantly outperforms linear classifiers as a template matching method in several image classification tasks, and is much more computationally efficient than other commonly used non-linear classifiers. In the image classification task on the Caltech 101 database, the performance of the biologically inspired model is obviously boosted by incorporating the proposed method. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

This paper proposes a probably approximately correct (PAC) algorithm that directly utilizes online data efficiently to solve the optimal control problem of continuous deterministic systems without system parameters for the first time. The dependence on some specific approximation structures is crucial to limit the wide application of online reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. We utilize the online data directly with the kd-tree technique to remove this limitation. Moreover, we design the algorithm in the PAC principle. Complete theoretical proofs are presented, and three examples are simulated to verify its good performance. It draws the conclusion that the proposed RL algorithm specifies the maximum running time to reach a near-optimal control policy with only online data.
For a class of unstable discrete-time multi-variable switched systems with parametric uncertainty, an identification scheme is developed in this paper. Specifically, the identification algorithm is derived to identify...

In Still-to-Video (S2V) face recognition, only a few high resolution images are registered for each subject, while the probe is video clips of complex variations. As faces present distinct characteristics under different scenarios, recognition in the original space is obviously inefficient. Thus, in this paper, we propose a novel discriminant analysis method to learn separate mappings for different scenario patterns (still, video), and further pursue a common discriminant space based on these mappings. Concretely, by modeling each video as a manifold and each image as point data, we form the scenario-oriented mapping learning as a Point-Manifold Discriminant Analysis (PMDA) framework. The learning objective is formulated by incorporating the intra-class compactness and inter-class separability for good discrimination. Experiments on the COX-S2V dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.

This paper investigates the performance of the dual mode, namely flipper mode and central pattern generator(CPG) mode, for controlling the depth of a gliding robotic dolphin. Subsequent to considering the errors in dynamic models, we propose a depth control system that combines the line-of-sight(LOS)method with an adaptive control approach(ACA) to deal with uncertainties in the model parameters. First,we establish a full-state dynamic model to conduct simulations and optimize the parameters used in later aquatic experiments. Then, we use the LOS method to transform the control target from the depth to the pitch angle and employ the ACA to calculate the control signal. In particular, we optimize the ACA’s control parameters using simulations based on our dynamic model. Finally, our simulated and experimental results demonstrate not only that we can successfully control the robotic dolphin’s depth, but also that its performance was better than that of the CPG-based control, thus indicating that we can achieve three-dimensional motion by combining flipper-based and CPG-based control. The results of this study suggest valuable ideas for practical applications of gliding robotic dolphins.
