A simplification method for capacitance models in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors under large drain voltage using channel analysis

This article analyzes the bias dependence of gate‐drain capacitance (C_gd) and gate‐source capacitance (C_gs) in the AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors under a high drain‐to‐source voltage (V_ds) from the perspective of channel shape variation, and further simplifies C_gd and C_gs to be gate‐to‐source voltage (V_gs) dependent only at high V_ds. This method can significantly reduce the number of parameters to be fitted in C_gd and C_gs and therefore lower the difficulty of model development. The Angelov capacitance models are chosen for verifying the effectiveness of simplification. Good agreement between simulated and measured small‐signal S‐parameters, large‐signal power sweep, and power contours comprehensively proves the accuracy of this simplification method.

Neural network-based adaptive decentralized learning control for interconnected systems with input constraints

In this paper, the neural network-based adaptive decentralized learning control is investigated for nonlinear interconnected systems with input constraints. Because the decentralized control of interconnected systems is related to the optimal control of each isolated subsystem, the decentralized control strategy can be established by a series of optimal control policies. A novel policy iteration algorithm is presented to solve the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation related to the optimal control problem. This algorithm is implemented under the actor-critic structure where both neural networks are simultaneously updated to approximate the optimal control policy and the optimal cost function, respectively. The additional stabilizing term is introduced and an improved weight updating law is derived, which relaxes the requirement of initial admissible control policy. Besides, the input constraints of interconnected systems are taken into account and the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation is solved in the presence of input constraints. The interconnected system states and the weight approximation errors of two neural networks are proven to be uniformly ultimately bounded by utilizing Lyapunov theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized learning control method is verified by simulation results.

Accurate sensing of scene geo-context via mobile visual localization

Image geo-tagging has drawn a great deal of attention in recent years. The geographic information associated with images can be used to promote potential applications such as location recognition or virtual navigation. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for accurate mobile image geo-tagging in urban areas. The approach is able to provide a comprehensive set of geo-context information based on the current image, including the real location of the camera and the viewing angle, as well as the location of the captured scene. Moreover, the parsed building facades and their geometric structures can also be estimated. First, for the image to be geo-tagged, we perform partial duplicate image retrieval to filter crowd-sourced images capturing the same scene. We then employ the structure-from-motion technique to reconstruct a sparse 3D point cloud of the scene. Meanwhile, the geometric structure of the query image is analyzed to extract building facades. Finally, by combining the reconstructed 3D scene model and the extracted structure information, we can register the camera location and viewing direction to a real-world map. The captured building location and facade orientation are also aligned. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated by experiment results.
