According to the coupling of input saturation and denial of service(DoS) attacks, impulsive control for MASs becomes extremely challenging. Considering general DoS attacks,this paper provides the sufficient conditions for the almost sure consensus of the MASs with input saturation, where the error system can achieve almost sure local exponential stability.Through linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), the relation between the trajectory boundary and DoS attacks is characterized, and the trajectory boundary is estimated. Furthermore, an optimization method of the domain of attraction is proposed to maximize the size. And a non-conservative and practical boundary is proposed to characterize the effect of DoS attacks on MASs. Finally, considering a multi-agent system with typical Chua's circuit dynamic model, an example is provided to illustrate the theorems' correctness.展开更多

With rapid industrialization and urbanization, the contradictions in land-use become more noticeable. Urban administrators and decision-makers seek modern methods and technology to provide information support for urban growth. Recently, with the fast development of high-resolution sensor technology, more relevant data can be obtained, which is an advantage in studying the sustainable development of urban land-use. However, these data are only information sources and are a mixture of ＂information＂ and ＂noise＂. Processing, analysis and information extraction from remote sensing data is necessary to provide useful information. This paper extracts urban land-use information from a high-resolution image by using the multi-feature information of the image objects, and adopts an object-oriented image analysis approach and multi-scale image segmentation technology. A classification and extraction model is set up based on the multi-features of the image objects, in order to contribute to information for reasonable planning and effective management. This new image analysis approach offers a satisfactory solution for extracting information quickly and efficiently.展开更多

Based on image multi-feature fusion and support vector machine, a new method to identify flow regime in two-phase flow was presented. Firstly, gas-liquid two-phase flow images including bub- bly flow, plug flow, slug flow, stratified flow, wavy flow, annular flow and mist flow were captured by digital high speed video systems in the horizontal tube. The image moment invariants and gray level co-occurrence matrix texture features were extracted using image processing techniques. To improve the performance of a multiple classifier system, the rough sets theory was used for reducing the inessential factors. Furthermore, the support vector machine was trained by using these eigenvectors to reduce the dimension as flow regime samples, and the flow regime intelligent identification was realized. The test results showed that image features which were reduced with the rough sets theory could excellently reflect the difference between seven typical flow regimes, and successful training the support vector machine could quickly and accurately identify seven typical flow regimes of gas-liquid two-phase flow in the horizontal tube. Image multi-feature fusion method provided a new way to identify the gas-liquid two-phase flow, and achieved higher identification ability than that of single characteristic. The overall identification accuracy was 100%, and an estimate of the image processing time was 8 ms for online flow regime identification.展开更多

文摘This paper proposes a novel multivalued recurrent neural network model driven by external inputs,along with two innovative learning algorithms.By incorporating a multivalued activation function,the proposed model can achieve multivalued many-to-one associative memory,and the newly developed algorithms enable effective storage of many-to-one patterns in the coefficient matrix while maintaining the indispensability of inputs in many-to-one associative memory.The proposed learning algorithm addresses a critical limitation of existing models which fail to ensure completely erroneous outputs when facing partial input missing in many-to-one associative memory tasks.The methodology is rigorously derived through theoretical analysis,incorporating comprehensive verification of both the existence and global exponential stability of equilibrium points.Demonstrative examples are provided in the paper to show the effectiveness of the proposed theory.

文摘Enhancing the stability and performance of practical control systems in the presence of nonlinearity,time delay,and uncertainty remains a significant challenge.Particularly,a class of strict-feedback nonlinear uncertain systems characterized by unknown control directions and time-varying input delay lacks comprehensive solutions.In this paper,we propose an observerbased adaptive tracking controller to address this gap.Neural networks are utilized to handle uncertainty,and a unique coordinate transformation is employed to untangle the coupling between input delay and unknown control directions.Subsequently,a new auxiliary signal counters the impact of time-varying input delay,while a Nussbaum function is introduced to solve the problem of unknown control directions.The leverage of an advanced dynamic surface control technique avoids the“complexity explosion”and reduces boundary layer errors.Synthesizing these techniques ensures that all the closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded(SGUUB),and the tracking error converges to a small region around the origin by selecting suitable parameters.Simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

文摘This paper addresses the lane-keeping control problem for autonomous ground vehicles subject to input saturation and uncertain system parameters.An enhanced adaptive terminal sliding mode based prescribed performance control scheme is proposed,which enables the lateral position error of the vehicle to be kept within the prescribed performance boundaries all the time.This is achieved by firstly introducing an improved performance function into the controller design such that the stringent initial condition requirements can be relaxed,which further allows the global prescribed performance control result,and then,developing a multivariable adaptive terminal sliding mode based controller such that both input saturation and parameter uncertainties are handled effectively,which further ensures the robust lane-keeping control.Finally,the proposed control strategy is validated through numerical simulations,demonstrating its effectiveness.

文摘The effects of Ti/N ratio on the number densities of nano particles,the size of the prior austenite grain(PAG)and the toughness of the heat-affected zone(HAZ)of Mg-deoxidized steels were studied after high heat input welding of 400 kJ/cm.With increasing the Ti/N ratio from 2.7 to 5.7,the cuboid nano-sized particles are formed,and their number density increases.The area fractions of ductile intragranular acicular ferrites(IAFs)have the highest value and the area fractions of brittle microstructures of ferrite side plates and upper bainites have the lowest value in TN30 steel.With the Ti/N ratio of about 3.0,the HAZ of steel plate has the best low-temperature toughness.With increasing the Ti/N ratio from 2.7 to 5.7,the PAG sizes after the high-temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy observation decrease linearly with increasing the number densities of nano-sized particles.The PAG size of TN30 steel is between 100 and 150μm,which is conducive to the nucleation of IAFs.

文摘This paper investigates the secure impulsive consensus of Lipschitz-type nonlinear multi-agent systems(MASs) with input saturation. According to the coupling of input saturation and denial of service(DoS) attacks, impulsive control for MASs becomes extremely challenging. Considering general DoS attacks,this paper provides the sufficient conditions for the almost sure consensus of the MASs with input saturation, where the error system can achieve almost sure local exponential stability.Through linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), the relation between the trajectory boundary and DoS attacks is characterized, and the trajectory boundary is estimated. Furthermore, an optimization method of the domain of attraction is proposed to maximize the size. And a non-conservative and practical boundary is proposed to characterize the effect of DoS attacks on MASs. Finally, considering a multi-agent system with typical Chua's circuit dynamic model, an example is provided to illustrate the theorems' correctness.

文摘Vehicle re-identification(ReID)aims to retrieve the target vehicle in an extensive image gallery through its appearances from various views in the cross-camera scenario.It has gradually become a core technology of intelligent transportation system.Most existing vehicle re-identification models adopt the joint learning of global and local features.However,they directly use the extracted global features,resulting in insufficient feature expression.Moreover,local features are primarily obtained through advanced annotation and complex attention mechanisms,which require additional costs.To solve this issue,a multi-feature learning model with enhanced local attention for vehicle re-identification(MFELA)is proposed in this paper.The model consists of global and local branches.The global branch utilizes both middle and highlevel semantic features of ResNet50 to enhance the global representation capability.In addition,multi-scale pooling operations are used to obtain multiscale information.While the local branch utilizes the proposed Region Batch Dropblock(RBD),which encourages the model to learn discriminative features for different local regions and simultaneously drops corresponding same areas randomly in a batch during training to enhance the attention to local regions.Then features from both branches are combined to provide a more comprehensive and distinctive feature representation.Extensive experiments on VeRi-776 and VehicleID datasets prove that our method has excellent performance.

文摘Urban land provides a suitable location for various economic activities which affect the development of surrounding areas. With rapid industrialization and urbanization, the contradictions in land-use become more noticeable. Urban administrators and decision-makers seek modern methods and technology to provide information support for urban growth. Recently, with the fast development of high-resolution sensor technology, more relevant data can be obtained, which is an advantage in studying the sustainable development of urban land-use. However, these data are only information sources and are a mixture of ＂information＂ and ＂noise＂. Processing, analysis and information extraction from remote sensing data is necessary to provide useful information. This paper extracts urban land-use information from a high-resolution image by using the multi-feature information of the image objects, and adopts an object-oriented image analysis approach and multi-scale image segmentation technology. A classification and extraction model is set up based on the multi-features of the image objects, in order to contribute to information for reasonable planning and effective management. This new image analysis approach offers a satisfactory solution for extracting information quickly and efficiently.

文摘The knowledge of flow regime is very important for quantifying the pressure drop, the stability and safety of two-phase flow systems. Based on image multi-feature fusion and support vector machine, a new method to identify flow regime in two-phase flow was presented. Firstly, gas-liquid two-phase flow images including bub- bly flow, plug flow, slug flow, stratified flow, wavy flow, annular flow and mist flow were captured by digital high speed video systems in the horizontal tube. The image moment invariants and gray level co-occurrence matrix texture features were extracted using image processing techniques. To improve the performance of a multiple classifier system, the rough sets theory was used for reducing the inessential factors. Furthermore, the support vector machine was trained by using these eigenvectors to reduce the dimension as flow regime samples, and the flow regime intelligent identification was realized. The test results showed that image features which were reduced with the rough sets theory could excellently reflect the difference between seven typical flow regimes, and successful training the support vector machine could quickly and accurately identify seven typical flow regimes of gas-liquid two-phase flow in the horizontal tube. Image multi-feature fusion method provided a new way to identify the gas-liquid two-phase flow, and achieved higher identification ability than that of single characteristic. The overall identification accuracy was 100%, and an estimate of the image processing time was 8 ms for online flow regime identification.
文摘Massive open online courses(MOOC)have recently gained worldwide attention in the field of education.The manner of MOOC provides a new option for learning various kinds of knowledge.A mass of data miming algorithms have been proposed to analyze the learner’s characteristics and classify the learners into different groups.However,most current algorithms mainly focus on the final grade of the learners,which may result in an improper classification.To overcome the shortages of the existing algorithms,a novel multi-feature weighting based K-means(MFWK-means)algorithm is proposed in this paper.Correlations between the widely used feature grade and other features are first investigated,and then the learners are classified based on their grades and weighted features with the proposed MFWK-means algorithm.Experimental results with the Canvas Network Person-Course(CNPC)dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.Moreover,a comparison between the new MFWK-means and the traditional K-means clustering algorithm is implemented to show the superiority of the proposed method.

文摘As a new type of Denial of Service(DoS)attacks,the Low-rate Denial of Service(LDoS)attacks make the traditional method of detecting Distributed Denial of Service Attack(DDoS)attacks useless due to the characteristics of a low average rate and concealment.With features extracted from the network traffic,a new detection approach based on multi-feature fusion is proposed to solve the problem in this paper.An attack feature set containing the Acknowledge character(ACK)sequence number,the packet size,and the queue length is used to classify normal and LDoS attack traffics.Each feature is digitalized and preprocessed to fit the input of the K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)classifier separately,and to obtain the decision contour matrix.Then a posteriori probability in the matrix is fused,and the fusion decision index D is used as the basis of detecting the LDoS attacks.Experiments proved that the detection rate of the multi-feature fusion algorithm is higher than those of the single-based detection method and other algorithms.

文摘Smoke detection is the most commonly used method in early warning of fire and is widely used in forest detection.Most existing smoke detection methods contain empty spaces and obstacles which interfere with detection and extract false smoke roots.This study developed a new smoke roots search algorithm based on a multi-feature fusion dynamic extraction strategy.This determines smoke origin candidate points and region based on a multi-frame discrete confidence level.The results show that the new method provides a more complete smoke contour with no background interference,compared to the results using existing methods.Unlike video-based methods that rely on continuous frames,an adaptive threshold method was developed to build the judgment image set composed of non-consecutive frames.The smoke roots origin search algorithm increased the detection rate and significantly reduced false detection rate compared to existing methods.
