Recent methods based on mid-level visual concepts have shown promising capability in human action recognition field. Automatically discovering semantic entities such as parts for an action class remains challenging. In this paper, we focus on discovering distinctive action parts for recognition of human actions by learning and selecting a small number of discriminative part detectors directly from training videos. We initially train a large collection of candidate Exemplar-LDA detectors from clusters obtained by clustering spatiotemporal patches in whitened space. A novel Coverage-Entropy curve is proposed as a means of measuring the representative and discriminative capabilities of part detectors, and used to select a set of compact and meaningful detectors out of the vast candidates. By integrating these mined detectors into "bag of parts" representation, our approach demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on the UCF50 dataset.

There are many multi-objective planning problems in emergency decision-making domain. HTN planners were widely used in emergency decision-making, while they have limited ability to solve optimization, especially multi-objective optimization. Aimed to handling multi-objective in HTN planners, this paper proposes a novel method based on SHOP2, which is a domain-independent state-based forward HTN planner. The method uses a weighted vector to mirror the decision maker's performance for various objectives and an anytime search algorithm to improve the ability to find the best solution plan. Finally, a case of emergency evacuation is given to testify the effectiveness of the method.

In this paper, quantitative analysis was implemented to reveal the mechanism of temperature distributions inside cross-flow stack. For this purpose, a differential model of planar cross-flow SOFC stack was built. The effectiveness of this model on describing temperature distributions were full validated by experiments on single cell and a 40-cell stack. Then, the quantitative analysis was given from two aspects, namely heat produced by reactions and heat transmission between gases and solid layer. Particularly, we rigorously revealed the non-intuitive phenomenon that the fuel temperatures were decreasing inside SOFC stack along the fuel flow direction. Moreover, the research idea and the analytical method proposed in this paper also apply to co-flow and counter-flow SOFC.

The rapid progress in the research and development of electronics, sensing, signal processing, and communication networks has significantly advanced the state of applications of intelligent transportation systems(ITS). However, efficient and low-cost methods for gathering information in large-scale roads are lacking. Consequently, wireless sensor network(WSN) technologies that are low cost, low power, and self-configuring are a key function in ITS. The current state of the art of application scenarios of WSNs for urban transportation is captured in this paper, where solutions are discussed under their related application schemes. This paper also points out the potential application scenarios and design requirements of WSN for urban transportation.

This paper presents a model named Multi-Scale YOLOv2 (MS-YOLOv2) for hand detection in complex scenes. The proposed MS-YOLOv2 is implemented by introducing three modules to YOLOv2, including a Multi-Scale Feature Refinement Module to acquire fine-grained features, a Channel Importance Evaluation Module to recalibrate feature channels and a Hard Example Punishment Module to get rid of hand interference areas. Experiment results show that the proposed MS-YOLOv2 makes much performance improvement to YOLOv2, but with little computational complexity gain. On our dataset, the proposed MS-YOLOv2 can achieve 98.2% of AP and 97.9% of AR. Moreover, on the VIVA challenge, the proposed MS-YOLOv2 achieves AP/AR of 85.1%/45.8% at Level-1 and 80.1%/45.9% at Level-2.

A large electrolytic capacitor is always used to make dc-link voltage stable in a single-phase to three-phase power converter. However, the large electrolytic capacitor occupies a large volume and has a short lifetime as to the home appliances. And additional PFC circuit is needed to correct the grid current. In order to settle these issues, a converter without electrolytic capacitor is studied in this paper. The q-axis current reference is modified for the high grid power factor operation. And the d-axis current reference is generated to achieve the flux-weakening control and to improve the waveform of the output currents and. Proportional-resonant controllers are adopted to obtain the better current performance. The simulation results verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.

A human motion intent estimation algorithm based on laser ranger finder and force sensors is designed for a walking-aid robot. By applying the proposed algorithm to the robot, the user can operate the walking-aid robot more fluently, comfortably and safely. A walking-aid or rehabilitation robot normally estimates the user's motion intention by measuring the interactive forces between human and robot. Whereas, the human motion should be represented as a coordination between the arms and the legs movements. This study therefore proposes a human motion intent estimation algorithm by fusing the motion intentions detected by the force sensors and the laser ranger finder, which are used to monitor the movements of arms and legs respectively. A special arrangement of push-pull force sensors is implemented for estimating the human motion intention I from user's operations on the handles. Meanwhile the human motion intention II is extracted by a laser ranger finder observing the user's movement of legs. A multi-sensor fusion algorithm is employed to fuse these two estimates. Experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed human motion intent estimation algorithm.

To enhance the reliability of launch vehicle attitude control systems and prevent the control invalidation caused by swing engine deadlock, a control reconfiguration of fault-tolerant control is proposed. Firstly, the coupling identity between the channels is discussed based on the dynamic model of the vehicle. Then, under the assumption of no rolling motion, we study the swing angles reconfiguration method based on the moment balance principle, and then deduce the relationship between the swing angle of the deadlocked engines and the engines still operate well. From the rationality analysis, the safe bound of the deadlocked engine and reconfiguration conditions are proposed under several assumptions. Finally, the numerical simulation of rocket attitude control based on the discussed reconfiguration strategy is given to demonstrate that the variance of the control affect by the deadlocked engine could be rectified by other booster-engines effectively.

It is necessary to study the radiation characteristic of metal solid objects for millimeter wave passive guidance. On the basis of discussing the grounded theory, the antenna temperature contrast formula of metal solid objects is presented. Furthermore equivalent radiometric section coefficient based on scale-shrinking measuring theory is proposed in favor of engineering applications. The 8 mm theoretical calculation and actual measurement are mostly below 1K. So, equivalent radiometric section coefficient gives a virtual way for engineering measurement of metal solid objects.
