Effective recognition and localization of paper defect based on machine vision is the key issue for paper defect detection system. This paper proposed an improved algorithm by combination with Blob analysis algorithm and image preprocessing approach to detect the paper defects which exist in captured images by a linear charge coupled device (CCD) camera. First, the defected images are preprocessed, such as image denoising, image segmentation, connectivity analysis, and then extract effective paper textures: defect amount, regional area, long axis, short axis, central position and so on, meanwhile draw the minimum bounding rectangles. Compared with the traditional morphology algorithm and threshold segmentation and fractal feature algorithm, the improved algorithm is validated by a great deal of experimental results with high detection efficiency and defects localization accuracy.

High gain observer (HGO) has been proved to be a good method to estimate states of Lipschitz nonlinear systems. In this paper, we focus on the HGO based external input (disturbance) estimator and disturbance attenuation control scheme. Firstly, a robust control scheme is proposed to attenuate the disturbance with the assumption that it is obtainable; subsequently, HGO is designed to estimate both the states and the disturbances, and the convergence is ensured under some conditions; then, it is shown that if the gain of the HGO is selected properly, the BIBO stability of the whole system (nonlinear closed system with observer) can be guaranteed; finally, simulation with respect to an inverted pendulum is carried out and the results verify the validity of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents a novel design scheme of a portable 12 lead ECG signal acquisition system. The proposed system mainly consists of three parts: An ECG signal acquisition module based on ADS1298, a control module based on MSP430, and an Android medical software runs on smart phone. The collected ECG data is sent from the control unit to user's mobile phone via Bluetooth for further processing, storing, and displaying. The three parts are integrated together to achieve a small size, wireless and portable ECG acquisition system.

According to morphological characteristics in the interior of ruins after an earthquake disaster, a map representation technique for ruins environment is presented, and a corresponding simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm on the basis of hybrid map is proposed. Based on the topological metric hybrid map, the algorithm describes ruins environment at different levels. At global level, the topological map organizes the overall structure and also ensures the computing capability and ambient adaptability. Then, through building a local metric map at each topological node region, irregular obstacles formed by random seismic damage are described. Finally, experiments in an artificial ruins environment show that the algorithm can realize localization and mapping at the complicated environment.

The RT-WMP routing protocol allows a user to determine which data streams ought to have a higher priority for transmission over a wireless mobile ad-hoc network. This paper provides a benchmark of the RT-WMP protocol in a typical indoor environment. The benchmarking results will reveal that the RT-WMP protocol is able to handle multiple data streams well over moderate distances of up to 10m. Above this distance, with a scarcer bandwidth, the protocol is still able to allow continued transmission of at least one data stream, which may not necessarily be the data stream with the highest priority. The results will lay the base for the development of a resource allocation strategy that allows for continued data transmission of all data streams, and not just the data stream with the highest priority only.

Three Khepera III robots are used in multi-robot system for family security by providing environment information for people. This paper proposes that the topology of multi-robot system switches according to ambient light intensity during the navigation process. The localization of robots depends on dead reckoning, and Extended Kalman Filter is used to improve the localization accuracy, the error rate is about 0.5%. The formation controller of the system is leader-follower method, which can ensure the linear and angular velocities convergence smoothly and ensure the system forms into some specified topology structure. In the end, experiments verify the effectiveness of the method.

For returning to a near initial location for a mobile redundant manipulator after a task execution, a wheel-joint coordinated minimum movement (WJCMM) scheme is proposed to minimize the movement/displacement between the final state and the initial state of the mobile robot when the end-effector fulfills a given task. Such a scheme can both coordinate simultaneously the wheels of the mobile platform and the joints of the manipulator to complete the end-effector task, and achieve the movement minimization. Besides, the physical limits of the mobile robot can be incorporated into the proposed WJCMM scheme. Then, the scheme is reformulated as a quadratic program (QP) subject to equality and bound constraints, which is solved by a numerical method based on a piecewise-linear equation (PLE). Simulation results substantiate the efficacy and accuracy of such a WJCMM scheme and the corresponding discrete-time PLE-based numerical QP solver for redundancy resolution.

Based on combined uncertainty and bathymetry estimator (CUBE) algorithm, a dynamic linear model (DLM) including horizontal and vertical soundings data uncertainties is discussed. Kalman filtering and multiple estimations are utilized to calculate the grid nodes. According to the real measured data of survey area of Bohai, comparison with the manual interactive process, CUBE algorithm is presented to estimate the true depth of the grid points of the survey area in this paper. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the CUBE algorithm is efficient and has good robustness, which means the proposed algorithm is suitable for massive multibeam soundings data in real-time automatic processing.

This paper presents a neurodynamic optimization approach to robust pole assignment for synthesis of piecewise linear control systems via state feedback. The robust pole assignment is formulated as a pseudoconvex optimization problem with linear equality constraints where a robustness measure is considered as the objective function. The robustness is achieved by means of minimizing the spectral condition number of the closed-loop eigensystem. Two recurrent neural networks with guaranteed global convergence are applied for solving the optimization problem in real time. Simulation results are included to substantiate the effectiveness and demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed approach.
