Multi-heuristic scheduling: three approaches to tune compromises

Most of the available industrial schedulers are based on a simulation approach using dispatching rules. These rules are often dedicated to the satisfaction of a single performance criterion, and are used whatever the characteristics of the workshop or of the set of jobs. An approach which allows one to bring in compromises between rules is set out in this paper. These compromises can be parametered in accordance with the objectives of the workshop and the characteristics of the jobs in order to introduce some reactivity in the decision system. Three ways to set up the parameters are compared: experimental design, fuzzy expert system and neural network. The method allowing one to define compromises can be implemented on each scheduler that uses a simulation approach. Tests have been made with an industrial scheduler called SIPAPLUS, the results of which are developed in this paper.

Multiobjective dynamic load-dispatching method for optimal operation of power systems

A new practical method is proposed which gives a quasi-optimal solution of the dynamic load-dispatching problem formulated by a multiconstraint multiobjective optimization problem. Here, the multiple constraints are rate reserve constraints and power flow ones, and the multiple objectives are fuel cost and CO₂ emission. The proposed method is an integration of the following three techniques: (1) “Group Dispatch Scheme,” which is developed by the authors, is used to satisfy a violated constraint easily. This scheme consists of three steps. The first step is to classify all generators into two groups. One is the group which should be more loaded to satisfy the violated constraint, and the other is the should-be less loaded group. The second step is to add some load to the former group, and to subtract the same load from the latter. The third step is to dispatch each group load to each groups generators, respectively; (2) the dynamic load-dispatching algorithm is used which provides, in practical time, quasi-optimal generation trajectories; (3) the conventional weighting parametric method is used to obtain a Pareto optimal solution of multiobjective problems. The effectiveness of the method is clarified by a computer simulation on the actual power system of Kansai Electric Power Company.     

A sensing strategy for the reverse engineering of machined parts

The reverse engineering of machined parts requires sensing an existing part and producing a design (and perhaps a manufacturing process) for it. We have developed a reverse engineering system that has proven effective with a set of machined parts. This paper describes the system, presents some results, and discusses strategy for a new system.This work was supported by ARPA under ARO grant number DAAH04-93-G-0420, DARPA grant N00014-91-J-4123, NSF grant CDA 9024721, and a University of Utah Research Committee grant.

抗几何失真的视频Hashing算法研究

文中提出了一种基于视频灰度直方图形状的Hashing算法,能有效抵抗各种常见的几何失真和视频处理操作.算法的鲁棒性原理如下:1)由于直方图的形状与像素位置无关,故基于直方图的视频Hashing算法能有效抵抗各种常见的几何攻击;2)由于在计算Hashing前对视频帧进行了平滑预处理,故算法对加噪攻击、模糊滤波、有损压缩等处理操作有很好的鲁棒性;3)由于计算Hashing前在时间轴上进行了低通滤波预处理,故算法能抵抗帧率变化、帧丢失等时域同步攻击.实验结果表明,所提出的Hashing算法有良好的唯一性和鲁棒性能.     

基于特征线匹配的城市建筑物识别方法研究

随着手机GPS位置测定、导航以及摄像功能的普及,对于移动状态下的位置定位以及都市空间建筑物实时搜索等应用功能存在日益增长的需求。介绍了图像处理方式的城市建筑物识别方法,通过对两种图像匹配算法--SIFT和Local Search的比较分析表明,构造物轮廓线及其组合是一种相对稳定的几何特征,在匹配时受图像的仿射变换、画质变化以及镜头畸变等因素干扰较小,此外,基于轮廓的图像匹配指数还能反映摄影位置的变化。因此,对Local Search进行了改进,利用实时图的建筑物的特征轮廓线与从三维数据库中提取的建筑群特征轮廓线进行匹配,然后选择匹配指数高的记录作为识别结果。结果表明基于Local Search算法的建筑物识别技术可以很好地适应移动条件下建筑物快速识别的要求。     

结合角点特征与SIFT特征的加速图像匹配

利用关键点寻找不同图像之间的一致性是很多图像处理和计算机视觉应用中的一个关键步骤。由于图像中巨量的关键点,因此特征的快速匹配成为了一个瓶颈。文中提出了一种对特征点进行分类比较的方法来加速特征匹配。首先可将SIFY特征分为两类,极大值SIIrF特征和极小值SIFT特征;其次是将SIFT特征和传统角点特征相结合提取特征点并按照角点特征进行分类。实验表明,这种方法在保持原有鲁棒性和精度的情况下,可以较大提高特征匹配速度。
