Fast single image dehazing has been a challenging problem in many fields, such as computer vision and real-time applications. The existing image dehazing algorithms cannot achieve a trade-off between the dehazing performance and the computational complexity. The proposed approach first applies the mean filter twice to estimate airlight, which include pixel-based dark channel and bright channel constraints. And then the relationship between channel values of the restored image and atmospheric light is qualitatively analyzed to give the optimum estimate of atmospheric light. Using the airlight and atmospheric light, we can easily restore the scene radiance via the atmospheric scattering model. Compared with others, the main advantage of the proposed approach is its high speed and significant visibility improvement even in the sky and white areas. This speed allows the enhanced haze image to be applied in real-time processing applications. A comparative study and quantitative evaluation are proposed with a few other state of the art algorithms which demonstrates that similar or better quality results are obtained.

The conventional A* algorithm may suffer from the infinite loop and a large number of search data in the process of motion planning for manipulator. To solve the problem,an improved A* algorithm is proposed in this paper by the means of selecting middle points and applying variable step segments searching during the searching process. In addition,a new method is proposed for collision detection in the workspace. In this paper,the MOTOMAN MH6 manipulator with 6-DOF is applied for motion plan. The algorithm is based on the basis of the simplification for the manipulator and obstacles by cylinder enveloping. Based on the analysis of collision detection,the free space can be achieved which makes it possible for the entire body to avoid collisions with obstacles. Compared with the Conventional A*,the improved algorithm deals with less searching points and performs more efficiently. The simulation developed in VC + + with OpenGL and the actual system experiments prove effectiveness and feasibility of this improved method.

Most existing legged robots are developed under laboratory environments and, corre- spondingly, have good performance of locomotion. The robots' ability of walking on rough terrain is of great importance but is seldom achieved. Being compliant to external unperceived impacts is cru- cial since it is unavoidable that the slip, modeling errors and imprecise information of terrain will make planned trajectories to be followed with errors and unpredictable contacts. The impedance control gives an inspiration to realize an active compliance which allows the legged robots to follow reference trajectories and overcome external disturbances. In this paper, a novel impedance force/ position control scheme is presented, which is based on Cartesian force measurement of leg' s end effector for our hydraulic quadruped robot The simulation verifies the efficiency of the impedance model, and the experimental results at the end demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control scheme.

The security issue in cyber-physical systems has attracted growing interests in the last decades. This paper considers how false data injection attack can degrade the estimation quality of a remote state estimation system. In this system, smart sensors measure a dynamic process and send preprocessed data through a communication network to a remote estimator to estimate the process. It is assumed that there are malicious attackers in the communication network, who are able to obtain and falsify all the data sent by the sensors. It is common that the remote estimator is equipped with a residue-based detector to detect potential attacks. We propose a class of deception attack and analyze its feasibility. We show that the proposed attack enables the attacker to inject false data into the remote estimator without being detected. We derive a criterion to judge the optimality of performance of this type of attack in the sense of maximizing the estimation error covariance. Furthermore, we find that a simple linear attack strategy, which flips the sign of intercepted signal, satisfies the optimality criterion. We present numerical examples to illustrate our theoretical results.

Currently, the multi-legged robots have to confront the problem of low energy utilization that restricts the moving radius of robots. Aimed at the problem of energy consumption for mobile robots, this paper provides the analysis in terms of the gait planning. Firstly, two kinds of gait curves Respectively, cycloid curve and Bezier curve are introduced and the main difference of two gait patterns is that the Bezier curve can achieve the swing leg retraction (SLR). The length of step (S), the height of step (H) and the duty ratio of gait cycle (β) are set as the primary research points about the gait of mobile robot. In this work, we formulate two indexes to quantitatively describe the performance of the quadruped robot and related simulations are carried out for gait parameters. Finally, the results provide some recommendations for the gait planning of the quadruped robot, that is, the changes of gait parameters influence the index of energy consumption and SLR can effectively reduce energy consumption.
