The source muitisensor images are first decomposed by the NWF transform. Then, the NWF transform coefficients of the source images are combined into the composite NWF transform coefficients. Inverse NWF transform is performed on the composite NWF transform coefficients in order to obtain the intermediate fused image. Finally, intensity adjustment is applied to the intermediate fused image in order to maintain the dynamic intensity range. Experiment resuits using real data show that the proposed algorithm works well in muitisensor image fusion.展开更多

In reality, current, wave and wind act on the ship and produce unwanted disturbances to the ship control system.The FDBAB controller has to compensate for such disturbances and steer the ship to track the predefined(or desired) path. The difference between the actual and the desired path along which the ship is to sail is defined as the tracking error. The FDBAB controller is built on the tracking error model which is developed based on Serret-Frenet frame transformation(SFFT). In additional to being affected by external disturbances, the ship has more outputs than inputs(under-actuated), and is inherently nonlinear.The back-stepping controller in FDBAB is used to compensate the nonlinearity. The adaptive algorithms in FDBAB is employed to approximate disturbances. Lyapunov's direct method is used to prove the stability of the control system. The FDBAB controlled system is implemented in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the controller in terms of successful path tracking and disturbance rejection.展开更多
