分布式文件系统元数据服务的负载均衡框架

请求负载均衡,是分布式文件系统元数据管理需要面对的核心问题.以最大化元数据服务器集群吞吐量为目标,在已有元数据管理层之上设计实现了一种分布式缓存框架,专门管理热点元数据,均衡不断变化的负载.与已有的元数据负载均衡架构相比,这种两层的负载均衡架构灵活度更高,对负载的感知能力更强,并且避免了热点元数据重新分布、迁移引起的元数据命名空间结构被破坏的情况.经观察分析,元数据尺寸小、数量大,预取错误元数据带来的代价远远小于预取错误数据带来的代价.针对元数据的以上鲜明特点,提出一种元数据预取策略和基于预取机制的元数据缓存替换算法,加强了上述分布式缓存层的性能,这种两层的元数据负载均衡框架同时考虑了缓存一致性的问题.最后,在一个真实的分布式文件系统中验证了框架及方法的有效性.

A new smooth robust control design for uncertain nonlinear systems with non-vanishing disturbances

In this paper, we consider the control problem for a general class of nonlinear system subjected to uncertain dynamics and non-varnishing disturbances. A smooth nonlinear control algorithm is presented to tackle these uncertainties and disturbances. The proposed control design employs the integral of a nonlinear sigmoid function to compensate the uncertain dynamics, and achieve a uniformly semi-global practical asymptotic stable tracking control of the system outputs. A novel Lyapunov-based stability analysis is employed to prove the convergence of the tracking errors and the stability of the closed-loop system. Numerical simulation results on a two-link robot manipulator are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed control algorithm comparing with the layer-boundary sliding mode controller and the robust of integration of sign of error control design. Furthermore, real-time experiment results for the attitude control of a quadrotor helicopter are also included to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Identifying underground voids using a GPR circular-end bow-tie antenna system based on a support vector machine

This article presents a pattern recognition approach based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) and polarization attributes to identify voids underground in ground penetrating radar (GPR) images. Features vectors composed of DCT coefficients supplying to the support vector machine classifier are studied, together with their linearity. To evaluate the proposed method, we hold an experimental study of GPR data obtained by numerical modelling of a GPR circular-end bow-tie antenna system using the finite-integration technique based simulator. In order to form the database of features, different acquisition scenarios of GPR models are achieved by varying buried object’s material type, position, shape, size parameters, and electric characteristics of subsurface medium. The robustness of the proposed system towards degradation of the generated GPR data is tested by introducing Gaussian and speckle noise. The experimental results show the proposed approach exhibits encouraging performance in terms of void identification with errors of object apex position in GPR images.     

Performance of multiple access CSK communication system with DF cooperative strategy

A multiple access chaos shift keying cooperative communication (MA-CSK-CC) system over Rayleigh fading channels and in the presence of Gaussian white noise is investigated in depth in this paper. The simplified half-duplex with a single relay decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative strategy is proposed to illustrate and analysis as an example. Exact and approximation bit-error-ratio (BER) performance expressions are derived. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed system has a prominent advantage of high BER performance over the conventional multiple access CSK systems that have a single path to transmit signal at the same data rate over Rayleigh fading channels with additive Gaussian white noise. Moreover, based on the BER performance analysis, some useful results are also derived such as the relationships between BER versus spread spectrum factors, BER versus the number of users, etc.     

Wireless channel extraction analyzing based on graph theory

Wireless channels comprise various signal characteristics that correspond to different features. This research applies digital signal processing to first excavate and categorize various features found in the channel data. Then, borrowing from graph theory, fast clustering analysis and decision tree modeling are introduced to identify unique “fingerprint” characteristics. Finally, two scenarios were tested using artificial neural networks to identify and verify their applicability in different geographical locations.     

An implicit skeleton-based method for the geometry reconstruction of vasculatures

Due to the high complexity of vascular system network, the geometry reconstruction of vasculatures from raw medical datasets remains a very challenging task. In this paper, we present a novel skeleton-based method for the geometry reconstruction of vascular structures from standard 3D medical datasets. With the proposed techniques, the geometry of vascular structures with high level of smoothness and accuracy can be reconstructed from the raw medical datasets. The experimental results and comparison with other techniques demonstrate that our method can achieve faithful and smooth vascular structures. In addition, quantitative validation has been conducted to evaluate the accuracy and smoothness of the reconstructed vessel geometry based on the proposed method.

基于误差补偿的复杂场景下背景建模方法

在基于子空间学习的背景建模方法中,利用背景信息对前景误差进行补偿有助于建立准确的背景模型.然而,当动态背景（摇曳的树枝、波动的水面等）和复杂前景等干扰因素存在时,补偿过程的准确性和稳定性会受到一定的影响.针对这些问题,本文提出了一种基于误差补偿的增量子空间背景建模方法.该方法可以实现复杂场景下的背景建模.首先,本文在误差补偿的过程中考虑了前景的空间连续性约束,在补偿前景信息的同时减少了动态背景的干扰,提高了背景建模的准确性.其次,本文将误差估计过程归结为一个凸优化问题,并根据不同的应用场合设计了相应的精确求解算法和快速求解方法.再次,本文设计了一种基于Alpha通道的误差补偿策略,提高了算法对复杂前景的抗干扰能力.最后,本文构建了不依赖于子空间模型的背景模板,减少了由前景信息反馈引起的背景更新失效,提高了算法的鲁棒性.多项对比实验表明,本文算法在干扰因素存在的情况下仍然可以实现对背景的准确建模,表现出较强的抗扰性和鲁棒性.
