Low-rank tensor factorization(LRTF) provides a useful mathematical tool to reveal and analyze multi-factor structures underlying data in a wide range of practical applications. One challenging issue in LRTF is how to recover a low-rank higher-order representation of the given high dimensional data in the presence of outliers and missing entries, i.e., the so-called robust LRTF problem. The L1-norm LRTF is a popular strategy for robust LRTF due to its intrinsic robustness to heavy-tailed noises and outliers. However, few L1-norm LRTF algorithms have been developed due to its non-convexity and non-smoothness, as well as the high order structure of data. In this paper we propose a novel cyclic weighted median(CWM) method to solve the L1-norm LRTF problem. The main idea is to recursively optimize each coordinate involved in the L1-norm LRTF problem with all the others fixed. Each of these single-scalar-parameter sub-problems is convex and can be easily solved by weighted median filter, and thus an effective algorithm can be readily constructed to tackle the original complex problem. Our extensive experiments on synthetic data and real face data demonstrate that the proposed method performs more robust than previous methods in the presence of outliers and/or missing entries.

This work deals with the problem of designing distributed controllers to improve consensus performance for identical dynamically coupled agents with time delays. Firstly, an H2 optimization problem of the whole multi-agent systems is formulated. The decomposition approach is utilized to simplify the minimization of H2 performance index to a set of independent optimization problems. For each decomposed subsystem, it is accomplished by an effective parametrization of all stabilizing controllers, which can be used to compute the H2 optimal controller. Finally, the controllers with the same structure are obtained to achieve the performance improvement of the whole systems. The advantages of the proposed approach are that the design procedure is conducted analytically and a simple quantitative tuning way is developed to trade off the nominal performance and robustness. The simulation results show the effectiveness of this method.

In order to maximally make use of the limited capacities of storage and transmission, it's necessary for onboard computer to adaptively compress the cloud regions with lower quality compared with the regions without cloud cover. Therefore, the informationprocessing unit needs to recognize the cloud regions before compress the image. To meet this requirement of satellite imaging payload, a novel approach for real time cloud detection is proposed. First, the visual dictionary is learnt from the training features extracted using Maximum Response (MR) Filter. Second, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is utilized to reduce the dimensions of the visual words for the quick word search. Third, the MR feature of an image patch is converted into the histogram of visual word, in which the MR feature of a pixel is replaced by the index of the most similar visual word. Finally, the histogram is fed into the trained SVM classifier to detect cloud patch. The experimental results verify that the proposed approach can highly precisely detect the cloud region in patch unit.

The typical sparse representation for classification (SRC) can obtain desirable recognition result when the training samples in each class are sufficient. Nevertheless, if the training sample set is small scale, i.e., each class has a few training samples, even single sample, the traditional SRC cannot perform well. Although one of the variants of the traditional SRC, the extended SRC(ESRC), can effectively address the above small-scale training set (SSTS) problem, its computational efficiency is very low and consequently constrains the application of the ESRC algorithm. In order to improve the computational efficiency of the ESRC algorithm, we propose a new algorithm based on coordinate descent scheme in this work. Our proposed algorithm is referred as to the fast extended SRC (FESRC) algorithm. Experiments on popular face datasets show that the FESRC algorithm can obtain the high computational efficiency without significantly degrading the recognition results.

Proteins play a crucial role in every organism, which perform a vast amount of functions. The hot regions in protein-protein interactions consist of hot spot residues in protein-protein binding sites which are called interfaces, can help proteins to perform their biological function. Residue based computational prediction of hot regions might be useful to understand the molecular mechanism and is crucial in drug design and protein design. However, it is very challenging to identify the hot regions in protein-proteins. In this paper, we have proposed a support vector machine based on ensemble learning system for predicting hot spot residues, and predicted hot regions in protein-protein interactions. The efficiency of our method is analyzed in identifying hot spots and hot regions in protein-protein interactions and the results obtained are compared with the existing techniques. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to identify the hot spots and hot regions in the protein interfaces.

This paper proposed a new full automated detection algorithm for ultrasound follicle images. The proposed algorithm uses multiple concentric layers (MCL) technology, which is based on the presence of concentric layers surrounding a focal area in the follicle region. The algorithm experiment is based on three processes, which include image preprocessing, detection of focal areas and multiple concentric layers criterion. The results are compared with the edge based method and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more effective in follicle detection.

Terrain-based localization is an alternate to the global positioning system (GPS) in signal blocked areas. However, terrain-based localization technique may suffer from low accuracy or even fail when brake vibration occurs. This paper presents a real-time algorithm for vehicle localization which is robust against brake vibration. The input includes a reference map of pitch difference and measurements from rear wheel encoders and inertial measurement units (IMU). This method consists of two steps. In the first step, terrain map is generated using pitch difference at equidistant intervals. After that, the Bayesian inference and particle filters are adopted in the second step to identify the vehicle location during travel. To enhance system stability, we propose dynamic distributions of filter variances according to acceleration input. Experimental results demonstrate that the localization method with dynamic distributions can localize the vehicle quickly with high accuracy even when a quite severe shuddering happens.

Since the features of low energy consumption and limited power supply are very impor- tant for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the problems of distributed state estimation with quan- tized innovations are investigated in this paper. In the first place, the assumptions of prior and posterior probability density function (PDF) with quantized innovations in the previous papers are analyzed. After that, an innovative Gaussian mixture estimator is proposed. On this basis, this paper presents a Gaussian mixture state estimation algorithm based on quantized innovations for WSNs. In order to evaluate and compare the performance of this kind of state estimation algo- rithms for WSNs, the posterior Cram6r-Rao lower bound (CRLB) with quantized innovations is put forward. Performance analysis and simulations show that the proposed Gaussian mixture state estimation algorithm is efficient than the others under the same number of quantization levels and the performance of these algorithms can be benchmarked by the theoretical lower bound.
