The stabilization of a class of all-pole unstable delay processes of arbitrary order with single unstable pole by means of simple controllers is investigated in details. Complete stabilizability conditions are established and the computational methods for determining stabilizing controller parameters presented. They provide theoretical understanding of such a stabilization problem and can also serve as practical guidelines for actual controller design. 相似文献
Physical activity monitoring for youth is an area of increasing scientific and public health interest due to the high prevalence of obesity and downward trend in physical activity. However, accurate assessment of such activity remains a challenging problem because of the complex nature in which certain activities are performed. In this study, we formulated the issue as a machine learning problem—using a diverse set of 19 physical activities commonly performed by youth—via two approaches: activity recognition and intensity estimation. With the aid of training data, we implemented a distance metric learning method called DML-KNN that utilizes time-frequency features and is capable of effectively classifying both continuous and intermittent movement in youth subjects. Four different time-frequency feature extraction methods were then systematically evaluated. Our results show that the DML-KNN method performed competitively, especially when using features extracted by the Tamura method for intensity estimation, and by the Square Coefficient method for activity recognition. 相似文献
Person re-identification receives increasing attentions in computer vision due to its potential applications in video surveillance. In order to alleviate wrong matches caused by misalignment or missing features among cameras, we propose to learn a multi-view gallery of frequently appearing objects in a relatively closed environment. The gallery contains appearance models of these objects from different cameras and viewpoints. The strength of the learned appearance models lies in that they are invariant to viewpoint and illumination changes. To automatically estimate the number of frequently appearing objects in the environment and update their appearance models online, we propose a dynamic gallery learning algorithm. We specifically build up two datasets to validate the effectiveness of our approach in realistic scenarios. Comparisons with benchmark methods demonstrate promising performance in accuracy and efficiency of re-identification. 相似文献

This study provides evidence supporting the use of the update strategies for the support vector regression (SVR) model. Firstly, the fitting and interpolation method (FIM) is presented to select SVR parameters, and three infill strategies are adopted to search for update points. Secondly, the infill strategy and parameter selection method are illustrated by test functions that illustrate their dependability. The distribution of update points, the sample density and the proportion of update points are discussed. Finally, the adaptive SVR surrogate model is applied to optimize the protective effect of railway wind barriers. The result shows that the parameter selection method has high stability. On the whole, the accuracy of the adaptive SVR model using a suitable infill strategy will be improved with an increasing proportion of update points if the final number of training points is identical. The optimization result shows an optimal porosity of 0.117 when the height of the railway wind barrier is 2.05 m (full scale).
