Current map generalization for massive spatial data is becoming more and more urgent. It is necessary to study the integration of new technologies, such as distributed computing, which is important to provide high-quality geographic information services. This paper proposes an architecture of automated map generalization in distributed environments, and implements a prototype system to demonstrate the architecture. Finally an experiment to generalize contour data for entire China from scale 1:250,000 to 1:1,000,000 was performed with prototype system.

We consider the blind separation of source layers from superimposed mixtures thereof, involving unknown motions and unknown mixing coefficients of layers in each mixture. Previous blind separation approaches for such problems assume motions to be uniform translations, and hence are limited for real world applications. In this paper, we develop a sparse blind separation algorithm to estimate both parameterized motions and mixing coefficients. Then, a novel reconstruction approach is presented to recover all layers, by utilizing not only the mixing model but also the statistical properties of natural images. The whole method can handle more general motions than translations, including scalings, rotations and other transformations. In addition, the number of layers is automatically identified, and all layers can be recovered even in the under-determined case where mixtures are fewer than layers. The effectiveness of this technology is shown in the experiments on two simulated mixtures of four layers, real photos containing transparency and reflections, and real crossfade images from videos.

In order to improve the mobility of biped walking, a gait planning method based on linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM) is proposed. First, the position of the center of mass (COM), when the leg-switching begins, is obtained according to the expected step length. Secondly, the time when the COM arrives at the position is calculated based on the dynamics of the LIPM. Finally, the swing foot's trajectory is planned by using sinusoid to make sure that the swing foot can obtain the desired foothold at the right time. Through this method, a biped robot can enhance its walking mobility by changing its step length during walking. Furthermore, the experimental results applied on an actual biped robot show that this method is effective and practical.

The problem of stochastic stability and controller design for a class of uncertain nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) is studied. Aiming at the NCSs with the stochastic but bounded delay and packets dropout, a discrete-time jump fuzzy method is presented, which implements the double-mode Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy modeling of the NCSs. This model describes the network characteristics of the stochastic but bounded delays, packets dropout, asymmetry, and uncertain nonlinear dynamics of controlled plants. Based on this model, by using the Lyapunov theory and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, sufficient conditions for stochastic stability of the system are derived, and the design method of the state feedback guaranteed cost controller with piecewise quadratic Lyapunov stability and the sub-optimal performance index is also obtained. The design approach can be cast into a set of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMI), which can be solved by the proposed homotopy algorithm. The results of an numerical example and simulations demonstrate that for any allowable uncertainty the proposed controller can make the system stochastically stable.

The controller in NCS are currently conservative and not effectiveness in selecting its parameters. A modified genetic algorithm (GA) was proposed. The algorithm was used to design the optimal controller gain and adjust other parameters of the controller. The experiment results show that the GA is robust and adaptive and the controller can effectively improve the performance of the NCS.

详细信息
Inverse kinematic motion planning of redundant manipulators by using recurrent neural networks in the presence of obstacles and uncertainties is a real-time nonlinear optimization problem. To tackle this problem, two subproblems should be resolved in real time. One is the determination of critical points on a given manipulator closest to obstacles, and the other is the computation of joint velocities of the manipulator which can direct the manipulator following a desired trajectory and away from obstacles if it is getting close to them. Different from our previous approaches where the critical points on the manipulator were assumed to be known, these points are to be computed by using a recurrent neural network in the paper. A time-varying quadratic programming problem is formulated for avoiding polyhedral obstacles. In view that the problem is not strictly convex, an existing recurrent neural network, general projection neural network, is applied for solving it. By introducing a velocity smoothing technique into our previous quadratic programming formulation of the joint velocity assignment problem, a recently developed recurrent neural network, improved dual neural network, is proposed to solve it, which features lower structural complexity compared with existing neural networks. Moreover, The effectiveness of the proposed neural networks is demonstrated by simulations on the Mitsubishi PA10-7C manipulator.

In this paper, we propose a fast mean-field method called LHMF to handle probabilistic models of large-scale data in high dimensional space. By using diffusion map locally linear embedding method which is a non-linear dimensionality reduction method, we first embed the high dimensional data into a low dimensional space. Then we construct a coarse-grained graph which preserves the spectral properties of original weighted graph in the high dimensional space by clustering. A new spin model is defined in the diffusion space and the geometric centroids of clusters represent variables in the new spin model. The calculation demand of mean-field methods can be reduced greatly on the coarse-grained spin model. The final marginal moments of original variables are derived from the states of geometric centroids by using geometric harmonics. We first tested the proposed method on the MNIST hand-written digits dataset. Experimental results show that the LHMF method is competent with consistency approach, a state-of-the-art semi-supervised learning method. Then we applied the proposed method to a large-scale colonic polyp dataset from computed tomography (CT) scans. Free-response operator characteristic analysis shows that our method achieves higher sensitivity with lower false positive rate compared with support vector machines.

This paper introduces a design framework for developing GIService web portals which are supported by Grid computing and Service-Oriented Architecture. A GIS web portal can be enhanced by Grid computing technologies to improve its performance, usability and security. The loosely-coupled Internet GIServices can be combined and integrated by implementing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The Grid computing and SOA paradigms introduce new challenges for designing efficient and flexible GIS web portals. Given these challenges, a new framework is proposed. Following the framework, a technical implementation plan is outlined toward building Grid-enabled high performance GIService web portals using the state-of-the-art computing technologies, including Grid computing, Web services, and web portals. A prototype demonstrates the feasibility of the technical plan.
