This paper presents extensive experiments on a hybrid optimization algorithm (DEPSO) we recently developed by combining the advantages of two powerful population-based metaheuristics—differential evolution (DE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The hybrid optimizer achieves on-the-fly adaptation of evolution methods for individuals in a statistical learning way. Two primary parameters for the novel algorithm including its learning period and population size are empirically analyzed. The dynamics of the hybrid optimizer is revealed by tracking and analyzing the relative success ratio of PSO versus DE in the optimization of several typical problems. The comparison between the proposed DEPSO and its competitors involved in our previous research is enriched by using multiple rotated functions. Benchmark tests involving scalability test validate that the DEPSO is competent for the global optimization of numerical functions due to its high optimization quality and wide applicability.

Density estimation via Gaussian mixture modeling has been successfully applied to image segmentation, speech processing and other fields relevant to clustering analysis and Probability density function (PDF) modeling. Finite Gaussian mixture model is usually used in practice and the selection of number of mixture components is a significant problem in its application. For example, in image segmentation, it is the donation of the number of segmentation regions. The determination of the optimal model order therefore is a problem that achieves widely attention. This paper proposes a degenerating model algorithm that could simultaneously select the optimal number of mixture components and estimate the parameters for Gaussian mixture model. Unlike traditional model order selection method, it does not need to select the optimal number of components from a set of candidate models. Based on the investigation on the property of the elliptically contoured distributions of generalized multivariate analysis, it select the correct model order in a different way that needs less operation times and less sensitive to the initial value of EM. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

The paper presents a theorem to show the relationship between the parameters of the Moving Average (MA) process and those of its inversed process. The theorem can be used for the parameter identification of the MA process. It is further shown in this paper that the parameter identification of autoregressive moving average with exogenous variable model (ARMAX), based on the identification of its MA part, can be easily achieved. The approach, at first, achieves the identification of the ARX part by directly using least-square estimations to find out a straightforward relationship between estimated parameters and observed data. Then, the inversed model of the MA part is identified in a similar way. Finally, the noise variance can be computed by using identified MA parameters. Numerical simulations validate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

A novel algorithm to solve the target tracking and formation control problem in multi-agent systems is proposed in the present work, which combines centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVT) with consensus strategy. The algorithm utilizes the connection information among robots to further reduce the system cost function on the basis of CVT configuration. The work load among robots can be averaged by the consensus strategy thus the tracking and formation task can be achieved. The method configures the robots on to local optimal solution which minimize the sensing error. Simulations validated the proposed approach. Comparison is drawn between the pure CVT algorithm and the method with consensus strategy.

This paper deals with the control of arbitrarily topological interconnected systems where information communicated between subsystems may be lost due to unreliable links. First, the stochastic variable that is responsible for the communication status of lossy network is regarded as a source of model uncertainty. The system is modeled in the framework of linear fractional transformation with a deterministic nominal system and a stochastic model uncertainty. Then, the robust control theory is employed for system analysis. The largest probability of communication failure, tolerated by the interconnected systems keeping mean square stable, can be obtained by solving a μ synthesis optimization problem. Decentralized state feedback controllers are designed to ensure that the whole system is mean square stable for a given communication failure rate, based on the technique of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example is presented finally to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model and method

A multi-bandwidth based tracking algorithm was proposed to search for the global kernel mode when the probability density has multiple peak modes. Firstly, a monotonically decreasing sequence of bandwidths was fixed according to the target scale. At each bandwidth, using mean shift to find out the maximum probability, and starting the next iteration at the previous convergence location. Finally, the best optimal mode could be obtained at the last bandwidth. To accelerate the convergence, over-relaxed strategy was introduced to enlarge the step size. Under the convergence rule, the learning rate was adaptively adjusted by Bhattacharyya coefficients of consecutive iteration convergence. The experimental results show that the proposed multi-bandwidth mean shift tracker is robust in high-speed object tracking, and perform well in occlusions. The adaptive over-relaxed strategy is effective to lower the convergence iterations by enlarging the step size.

This paper mainly addresses flocking control algorithm to implement the “boids” model of Reynolds among the formation control by nonholonomic multi-robots. Firstly, distributed flocking of multiple autonomous agents with double integrator dynamics is studied. The proposed flocking algorithm is a gradient-based protocol combined with a velocity consensus protocol. For the gradient-based term, smooth artificial potential functions which could cope with the problem of shape generation are devised for all the agents. Moreover, the proposed coordinated protocols are applied to the formation control of a team of nonholonomic mobile robots. Finally, simulations and experiments show that the proposed controllers ensure the group formation is stabilized to a desired shape, while all the robots’ velocities and directions converge to the same.

详细信息
This paper deals with analysis and synthesis problems of spatially interconnected systems where communicated information may get lost between subsystems. Spatial shift operator and temporal forward shift operator are introduced to model the interconnected systems as discrete time-space multidimensional linear systems with Markovian jumping parameters which reflect the state of communication channels. To ensure the whole system's well-posedness and mean square stability for a given packet loss rate, a condition is derived through analysis. Then a procedure of designing distributed dynamic output feedback controllers is proposed. The controllers have the same structure as the plants and are solved within the linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework. Finally, we apply these results to study the effect of communication losses on the multiple vehicle platoon controlsystem, which further illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed model and method.
