Stabilization of all-pole unstable delay processes by simple controllers

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.     

Optimal replacement policy for a two-dissimilar-component cold standby system with different repair actions

In this paper, a cold standby repairable system consisting of two dissimilar components and one repairman is studied. When failures occur, the repair of both component 1 and component 2 are not ‘as good as new’. The consecutive operating times of component 1 after repair constitute a decreasing geometric process, while the repair times of component 1 are independent and identically distributed. For component 2, its failure is rectified by minimal repair, and the repair time is negligible. Component 1 has priority in use when both components are good. The replacement policy N is based on the failure number of component 1. Under policy N, we derive the explicit expression of the long-run average cost rate C(N) as well as the average number of repairs of component 2 before the system replaced. The optimal replacement policy N*, which minimises the long-run average cost rate C(N), is obtained theoretically. If the failure rate r(t) of component 2 is increasing, the existence and uniqueness of the optimal policy N* is also proved. Finally, a numerical example is given to validate the developed theoretical model. Some sensitivity analyses are provided to show the influence of some parameters, such as the costs for replacement and repair, and the parameters of the lifetime and repair time distributions of both components, to the optimal replacement policy N* and corresponding average cost rate C(N*).     

Activity recognition and intensity estimation in youth from accelerometer data aided by machine learning

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.     

Online learning of dynamic multi-view gallery for person Re-identification

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.

An adaptive surrogate model based on support vector regression and its application to the optimization of railway wind barriers

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).
