Guaranteed cost consensus protocol design for linear multi-agent systems with sampled-data information: An input delay approach

To investigate the energy consumption involved in a sampled-data consensus process, the problem of guaranteed cost consensus for sampled-data linear multi-agent systems is considered. By using an input delay approach, an equivalent system is constructed to convert the guaranteed cost consensus problem to a guaranteed cost stabilization problem. A sufficient condition for guaranteed cost consensus is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), based on a refined time-dependent Lyapunov functional analysis. Reduced-order protocol design methodologies are proposed, with further discussions on determining sub-optimal protocol gain and enlarging allowable sampling interval bound made as a complement. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Planning transport infrastructure: examining the politics of transport planning in Melbourne,Sydney and Perth

Abstract

Australian cities have observed a “consensus turn” expressed as broad public support of greater accessibility and public transport provision as revealed in metropolitan strategic plans. In contrast large-scale road projects proposed to traverse the inner-city of three major Australian cities reveals an ongoing and deep-seated attachment by some to car-based travel in Australian urban transport planning. Comparative case studies of these three road projects in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth explores the impact that an antagonistic relationship between the state and community has on the culture of transport planning. Through observational insights, policy and media analysis and interviews with community groups, we show that this antagonistic planning culture arises when there is a fracture between metropolitan strategic plan-making and project planning, and when clear channels of communication and deliberation are undermined.     

基于DPoS共识机制的区块链社区演化的可视分析方法

Collaborative Intelligence = Respect

Cultural projects today are often unprecedented in their complexity, scale and collaborative effort. Keith Kaseman, partner of Kaseman Beckman Advanced Strategies (KBAS), describes how building information modelling (BIM) enabled the realisation of the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. Twenty-eight contractors and consultants were brought on board in the design and delivery of the monument's 184 ‘memorial units’, which collectively commemorate the individual lives lost at the Pentagon on 11 September 2001.     

Exit Ltd

For London-based editor, author and curator Shumon Basar , The Temple of Janus Revisited by Exit Ltd is an effective critique of post-9/11 politics and culture. A virtual re-enactment of the Roman Temple of Janus in Washington DC, it evokes the imminent collapse of the American Empire. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于局部显著边缘特征的快速图像配准算法

针对尺度不变的特征变换(SIFT)算法提取的特征点数目多、匹配耗时长、匹配精度不高等问题,提出了一种基于局部显著边缘特征的快速图像配准算法。该算法利用SIFT算法提取待选特征点,同时用小波边缘检测提取图像边缘,建立特征点周围邻域的边缘特征,筛选出具有显著边缘特征的特征点,结合Shape-context算子和边缘特征形成特征描述向量,采用欧氏距离作为匹配度量函数对筛选出的特征点进行初步匹配,然后用随机一致性检验(RANSAC)算法消除误匹配点对。实验结果表明,该算法有效控制了特征点的数量,提高了特征点的质量,缩小了特征搜索空间,提高了特征匹配的效率。     

Recombinant Landscapes in the American City

How are urban actors, such as landscape designers, community groups, developers and local politicians, actively restructuring their environments to meet the challenges of the American city in the new global context? Grahame Shane outlines the approaches to landscape that have been emerging since the mid-20th century and are set to recombine urban assemblages whether they are located in historic city centres, postindustrial waterfronts or suburban sprawl.

SURF和RANSAC在图像拼接中的应用

图像特征检测在计算机视觉带动下得到了快速发展.SURF特征描述能够非常稳定快速地对图像特征进行检测和描述.RANSAC能够在inliers大于50％的条件下很好地估计出模型参数,在特征点匹配上起到了关键作用.本文利用SURF特征描述子对图像特征点进行检测和描述,然后运用交叉匹配的策略有效地消除一些错误匹配点对,然后运用RANSAC算法进行模型估计,最后使用线性加权的方式对图像进行融合.该方法利用了SURF快速检测和稳定性的特点和RANSAC算法时间复杂度小的特点进行特征点快速准确匹配,最终能够实现快速的图像拼接.

双视图三维重建中引入了同名特征点的匹配测度,为提高基础矩阵F的精度提供了数据处理指导,将特征点匹配和F解算及三维重建环节连接成一个整体。在分析特征点提取、匹配方法的基础上定义了同名点匹配测度函数。用测度函数作为匹配点的权值对归一化8点求解F的算法进行加权,并使用随机采样一致性(RANSAC)鲁棒算法解决匹配野值问题。根据已知的像机内参数，从基础矩阵中分解相对运动，并用模型的内点进行运动优化，最后三角交会得到三维重建结果。实验结果表明,此算法达到了线性求解F矩阵和三维重建的鲁棒性高精度实现。
