具有光照鲁棒的图像匹配方法

针对现有的基于局部特征的图像匹配算法对光照变化敏感、匹配正确率低等问题，提出一种具有光照鲁棒性的图像匹配算法。首先使用实时对比保留去色（RTCP）算法灰度化图像，然后利用对比拉伸函数模拟不同光照变换对图像的影响从而提取抗光照变换特征点，最后采用局部强度顺序模式建立特征点描述符，根据待匹配图像局部特征点描述符的欧氏距离判断是否为成对匹配点。在公开数据集上，所提算法与尺度不变特征变换（SIFT）算法、加速鲁棒特征（SURF）算法、"风"（KAZE）算法和ORB算法在匹配速度和匹配正确率上进行了对比实验。实验结果表明：随着图像亮度差异的增加，SIFT算法、SURF算法、"风"（KAZE）算法和ORB算法匹配正确率下降迅速，所提算法下降缓慢并且正确率均高于80%；所提算法特征点检测较慢和描述符维数较高，平均耗时为23.47 s，匹配速度不及另外四种算法，但匹配质量却远超过它们。对实时性要求不高的系统中，所提算法可以克服光照变化对图像匹配造成的影响。     

A closed loop exponential feeding law: Invariance and global stability analysis

This article addresses the computation of invariant control laws [A. Fradkov, I. Miroshnik, V. Nikiforov, Nonlinear and Adaptive Control of Complex Systems, Kluwer, 1999] for fed-batch fermenters represented by two standard models. It will be shown how to derive partial state feedbacks that, assuming ideal conditions and perfect model, keep the specific growth rate μ constant provided the initial conditions are adequate. The invariant control law is the closed loop version of the exponential feeding already suggested in several references as shown later. The paper presents an analysis of invariance and a study of global stability within the framework of partial stability. That is, stability with respect to some of the state variables. This enables us to treat the case with Haldane-like or non-monotonous kinetics.     

Stabilization of uncertain boundary control systems

We consider a class of linear infinite-dimensional systems subject to boundary uncertainties, which are linear and time-invariant. Using a deterministic approach to the design of stabilizing feedback controls, uniform exponential stability of the zero state is achieved. Lyapunov techniques are combined with Datko or Ichikawa theory. Three illustrative examples are presented.

下扬子北缘前陆盆地构造变形样式

下扬子北缘前陆盆地经历了印支、燕山、喜山等多期构造改造,构造环境经开裂扩张—碰撞拼合—拉伸断陷等多次转换,最终形成了上部拉伸、中部逆冲推覆、下部拆离滑脱的"三层楼阁"式分层构造变形组合的构造几何学模式.其构造变形主要受中三叠世扬子地块与华北地块的陆—陆碰撞造山作用控制,具有横向上强弱分带、垂向上形变分层的特征.可划分为伸展变形、冲断褶皱变形、拆离滑脱变形等3种构造变形样式.      

Static output feedback control via PDE boundary and ODE measurements in linear cascaded ODE–beam systems

This paper addresses the problem of feedback control design for a class of linear cascaded ordinary differential equation (ODE)–partial differential equation (PDE) systems via a boundary interconnection, where the ODE system is linear time-invariant and the PDE system is described by an Euler–Bernoulli beam (EBB) equation with variable coefficients. The objective of this paper is to design a static output feedback (SOF) controller via EBB boundary and ODE measurements such that the resulting closed-loop cascaded system is exponentially stable. The Lyapunov’s direct method is employed to derive the stabilization condition for the cascaded ODE–beam system, which is provided in terms of a set of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Furthermore, in order to compute the gain matrices of SOF controllers, a two-step procedure is presented to solve the BMI feasibility problem via the existing linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization techniques. Finally, the numerical simulation is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Exploring the dynamic model of the returns from value stocks and growth stocks using time series mining

This study considered that value stocks and growth stocks are 2-dimensional concepts. We defined the book-to-market ratio as the value factor and the return on equity as the growth factor. We used these 2 factors to divide stocks into 4 types: high-value, low-value, high-growth, and low-growth stocks. Furthermore, we explored the change in stock prices and stock returns for these 4 categories before and after the formation of investment portfolios. We also established a dynamic model showing the returns from value stocks and growth stocks, called the exponential decay model. Finally, we used Taiwan Stock Exchange data to examine effectiveness of the model during the period from 1995 to 2009. The results are as follows: first, high-value stocks and low-value stocks exhibit a significantly over-reacting phenomenon. Second, high-growth stocks and low-growth stocks exhibit an obviously under-reacting phenomenon. Third, in each current quarter, high-value stocks exhibit the lowest returns; however, in the subsequent quarter, they have the highest returns, and then demonstrate a slow declining trend in the following quarters. These results showed that the stock market can exhibit a dramatic response to extraordinary information and proved that the stock market requires considerable time to correct themselves from an excessive reaction, thus high-value stocks exhibited a higher return. Fourth, in each current quarter, high-growth stocks had the highest return, followed by a rapidly decreasing trend in the following quarters. The t + 3 quarter returns were lower than those of low-growth stocks. This result demonstrated that the stock market does not exhibit an adequate reaction, but still remains rather efficient for routine financial information. Finally, regardless of value stocks or growth stocks, exponential decay models could accurately match with the data.     

PARAMETER ESTIMATION IN EXPONENTIAL MODELS

Abstract. In this paper the problems of parameter estimation and order determination of an exponential (EX) model are studied in the time domain. In order to estimate the parameters, the parameter equations of an EX model are given in terms of the autocorrelation function, which is similar to the Yule-Walker equations of an autoregressive moving-average model. Estimates of parameters are obtained with the aid of the parameter equations and theorems are proved relating the convergence rate and asymptotic distribution of the estimates. We present two kinds of methods for estimating the order and prove that the estimates of the order are consistent.     

Boundary feedback stabilization of the telegraph equation: Decay rates for vanishing damping term

We study a semilinear mildly damped wave equation that contains the telegraph equation as a special case. We consider Neumann velocity boundary feedback and prove the exponential stability of the closed loop system. We show that for vanishing damping term in the partial differential equation, the decay rate of the system approaches the rate for the system governed by the wave equation without damping term. In particular, this implies that arbitrarily large decay rates can occur if the velocity damping in the partial differential equation is sufficiently small.
