Variable prescribed performance control (PPC) is investigated for a type of nonlinear dynamic systems subject to actuator saturation, with an application to the manipulator of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Different from the current state-of-the-art, new performance functions are proposed to construct a variable prescribed funnel which is able to be readjusted according to the saturation situation. Furthermore, a new auxiliary system is developed to provide timely and bounded compensations on ideal control inputs. Thereby, the control singular problem associated with the existing PPC, caused by a saturated actuator, is effectively handled, and moreover, the addressed control protocol exhibits nonfragility to actuator saturation. In addition, the robustness of control is guaranteed via neural approximation. Finally, compared simulations on the manipulator of UAVs are presented to validate the design.

Due to system instability and other reasons, the actual range sampling frequency (RSF) of the system may deviate from the ideal value for the microwave photonic synthetic aperture radar (SAR). This deviation may lead to severe residual range cell migration (RCM) and even range defocus after imaging, which can seriously affect the image quality. To resolve this problem, this article proposes an airborne microwave photonic SAR imaging algorithm based on inaccurate system parameter estimation. First, the algorithm estimates and compensates for the range spatial-variant motion error to eliminate the effect of this motion error on the remaining RCM and range defocus. Second, based on the minimum entropy criterion of the image, we use the optimization model to estimate the actual RSF. Finally, the existing wide-beam autofocus method is used to correct the azimuth spatial-variant motion error. The simulation data and the measured data processing results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Computer vision-based systems seem highly perspective for semantic analysis of the dynamical objects. However, considering dynamical object recognition and tracking from the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) the task to design a robust model for data association is highly challenging due to additional issues, e.g., image degradation, nonfixed object camera distance and shooting focus, and real-time issues. Thus, we propose an accurate deep neural network-based dynamical object recognition and robust multiobject tracking technique based on bidirectional LSTM with the optimized motion and appearance gates as a multiobject tracking backbone, supported by an advanced single-shot detector network improved with residual prediction model and implemented a DenseNet network as well as a YOLOv4eff network as feature extraction. The technique has been trained on VisDrone 2022 and UAVDT datasets with the side-shoot dynamical objects at a height of up to 50 m. The performance analysis on the test stage performed on seven metrics demonstrate that the proposed technique surpasses, by accuracy and robustness ability, other state-of-the-art techniques based on two cumulative MOTA and MOTP, as well as MT and IDsw. In particular, we have dramatically decreased the number of IDsw which implies a better capability to handle several occlusions, which is a desirable property in real-time multiple object tracking. We have pointed out the sensitivity of the tracking performance of our technique on the number of utilizing different sequence lengths and have defined an optimum. Finally, the applicability and reliability of the proposed technique for onboard UAV computer-based systems have been discussed.

Aiming at the problem of target detection for multiple source information fusion, in this article, a decision-level fusion algorithm for visible and SAR images is proposed. First, using the Faster-RCNN network detects visible and SAR images to retain the detection results, respectively. Second, the semantic segmentation of visible images based on U-Net is realized. Finally, based on the detection results of single source and semantic segmentation results of land and sea, a fusion strategy based on decision level is proposed to achieve accurate target detection under multisource information. Through experimental verification, the detection performance of the proposed algorithm is an advantage over that of single-source image detection. The detection accuracy is 2.87% and 4.73% higher, and the recall rate is 3.02% and 0.19% higher than that of visible and SAR images separately. Compared with other target detection algorithms based on traditional image fusion, the proposed method has fewer false detections and missed detections.

The design and development of a CubeSat testing platform built from scratch is the focus of this work. The investigation was conducted as part of the Canadian CubeSat Project (CCP), an initiative conducted by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to support the development of 15 CubeSats across Canada. In this article, a particular emphasis is placed on three key subsystems: 1) an on-board computer (OBC); 2) a global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based payload; and 3) a communication board, all connected together through a FlatSat board. The mission software running on an STM32-microcontroller (MCU)-based OBC is responsible for managing all CubeSat activities. The OBC was designed to meet a range of requirements, including mechanical, electrical, and thermal requirements. Indeed, due to the intense heat and radiation that the CubeSat will be exposed to in low-Earth orbit (LEO), the CubeSat may experience many difficulties, potentially leading to mission failure. The risk-reduction techniques used in the design of the OBC will be discussed in detail. The tests performed on the developed OBC were successful, including an initial power test and a vacuum test, where the MCU entered low-power mode for a total of 10 s, consuming only 0.0528 W of power.

Recent trends indicate an increase in the number of small satellite missions, which can be developed more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional satellites. This has led to a growing interest in university-based satellite development, despite a lack of expertise in the space field, which has resulted in a high failure rate for such missions. To address this issue, the implementation of robust and reliable verification and validation (V&V) methods has become essential, and it has been demonstrated that the use of a FlatSat during the V&V campaign increases reliability. Despite the significance of FlatSat, there is a dearth of information on the platforms used to implement it, as well as a classification scheme for locating them. This article contributes to bridging this gap by conducting a systematic mapping of 65 works that were selected based on specific criteria and subsequently analyzed. The primary characteristics of the platforms are enumerated, and a new classification for FlatSat platforms into Raw, Bridge, Dock, and Modular is proposed. In order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic, the principal tests conducted on these platforms were also covered.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) plays an important role in modern remote sensing for its characteristics of all weather, all day-and-night, zero casualty, flying flexibility, and low cost. However, the atmospheric turbulence will cause motion errors to UAV SAR, resulting in unmodeled phase errors. The phase errors will degrade the focusing quality of the image and bring difficulties to the recognition task. Meanwhile, it is difficult for a convolution neural network (CNN) to extract and utilize the back-scattering information for target recognition. To this end, a novel defocusing adaptive complex CNN (DA-CCNN) is proposed, which can realize the overall computation of the network in the complex-valued data domain and effectively extract the phase history information of the complex-valued data. Furthermore, it is the first time that the image entropy metric is introduced into the fully complex deep neural network to improve the focusing quality of the image and the interpretability of the network. The experiment is carried out using the benchmark dataset of MSTAR 10. In order to simulate the defocused images generated by UAV SAR and certify the robustness to phase errors, datasets with the contamination are also applied. The results show that on the benchmark data, the recognition accuracy of DA-CCNN is comparable to that of the existing methods. On the data with phase errors, DA-CCNN shows stronger robustness and higher accuracy in terms of recognition than the reported networks.

Over the past few decades, with the rapid development of global aerospace and aerial remote sensing technology, the types of sensors have evolved from the traditional monomodal sensors (e.g., optical sensors) to the new generation of multimodal sensors (e.g., multispectral, hyperspectral, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors). These advanced devices can dynamically provide various and abundant multimodal remote sensing images (MRSIs) with different spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions according to different application requirements. Since then, it is of great scientific significance to carry out the research of MRSI registration, which is a crucial step for integrating the complementary information among multimodal data and making comprehensive observations and analysis of the Earth’s surface. In this work, we will present our own contributions to the field of multimodal image registration, summarize the advantages and limitations of existing multimodal image registration methods, and then discuss the remaining challenges and make a forward-looking prospect for the future development of the field.

In this article, we proposed a phase unwrapping (PU) method which combines with unscented Kalman filter, pixel classification, and an efficient path-following strategy. The characteristics of the proposed method are summarized as: 1) the path-following strategy speeds up the process of PU without decreasing the accuracy; 2) the reliability of each pixel will be graded according to the position of residue and pixel classification strategy; and 3) different from the traditional methods, the proposed method can perform filtering and PU at the same time to prevent global propagation of error. In addition, we also introduce a signal model which can obtain a similar correlation map by only using a wrapped phase image when without the primary-secondary image. The results on synthetic data and real data show that the proposed method can obtain better results.
