Firstly, seismic observation array (SOA) technology was applied to monitor the three dimensional dynamic characteristics of frozen soil under movable track load in a per- mafrost region and seasonal frozen soil area. Secondly, a numerical simulation for the response of frozen soil under movable track load was performed based on finite element analysis (FEA), The results show that dynamic characteristics of frozen soil in perpendicular and parallel direction of the track are obviously different. In the direction perpendicular to the track, the vertical acceleration amplitude had an abrupt increase in the 9-10 m from the track line. In the direction parallel to the track, the acceleration in vertical and horizontal direction had a quick attenuation compared to the other direction. Lastly, various parameters were analyzed for the purpose of controlling the dynamic response of frozen soil and the vibration attenuation in frozen soil layer.展开更多

For the shortcomings and deficiencies of the frame-subtraction method, a redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT) based moving object recognition algorithm is put forward, which directly detects moving objects in the redundant discrete wavelet transform domain. An improved adaptive mean-shift algorithm is used to track the moving object in the follow up frames. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively extract the moving object, even though the object is similar to the background, and the results are better than the traditional frame-subtraction method. The object tracking is accurate without the impact of changes in the size of the object. Therefore the algorithm has a certain practical value and prospect.展开更多

It is an adaptive variable structure interacting multiple model estimator with dynamic models modification (DMM VS-IMM for short). Firstly, road information is employed to modify the target dynamic models used by filter, including modification of state transition matrix and process noise. Secondly, road information is applied to update the model set of a VS-IMM estimator. Predicted state estimation and road information are used to locate the target in the road network on which the model set is updated and finally IMM filtering is implemented. As compared with traditional methods, the accuracy of state estimation is improved for target moving not only on a single road, but also through an intersection. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrates the efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm with moderate computational loads.展开更多

In this paper, an image-feature-based controller with states extracted in imagesdirectly is proposed for the quadrotor to track a moving underground target, in which suitableimage features are defined and a coupling problem between position and attitude loop is solvedby a decoupling algorithm. Moreover, the external disturbances caused by visual noise, wind, orother problems are eliminated by a robust observer with low-pass filters. A Lyapunov-based stabilitymethod is presented to prove the convergent properties of the system. Finally, a simulationusing python3.6 with realistic images is established to verify that the system is stable and withhigh performance, the results of which show the data of unmanned aerial vehicle in movingtarget tracking.展开更多

In model-conditioned filtering, sample particles obtained from the unscented particle filter are moved towards the maximal posterior density estimation of the target state through mean shift. On the basis of stop model in VS-IMM, hide model is proposed. Once the target is obscured by terrain, the prediction at prior time is used instead of the measurement at posterior time; in addition, the road model set used is not changed. A ground moving target indication (GMTI) radar is employed in three common simulation scenarios of ground target: entering or leaving a road, crossing a junction and no measurement. Two evaluation indexes, root mean square error (RMSE) and average normalized estimation error squared (ANEES), are used. The results indicate that when the road on which the target moving changes, the tracking accuracy is effectively improved in the proposed algorithm. Moreover, track interruption could be avoided if the target is moving too slowly or masked by terrain.展开更多

Firstly, the inter-frame difference method is used to identify the moving target and to calculate the target area, then on the basis of color features and gradient features extracted from the target area, the feature fusion Cam-Shift mean shift algorithm is used to track target, improving the robustness of the tracking algorithm. Secondly, a parallel two-channel target identification and location method based on binocular vision is proposed, updating the target's three-dimensional information in real time. Then, a dynamic collision-free path planning method is implemented: the safety rods are removed through the intersection test, and the minimum distance is derived directly by using the coordinate values of the target in the local coordinate system of the rod. On this basis, the obstacle avoidance gain and escape velocity related to the minimum distance is established, and obstacle avoidance path planning is implemented by using the zero space mapping matrix of redundant robot. Experiments are performed to Study the efficiency of the proposed system.展开更多

To maintain such streaming data of location updates from mobile clients, conventional approaches such as time-based regular location updating and distance-based location updating have been used. However, these methods suffer from the large amount of data, redundant location updates, and large trajectory estimation errors due to the varying speed of moving objects. In this paper, we propose a simple but efficient online trajectory data reduction method for portable devices. To solve the problems of redundancy and large estimation errors, the proposed algorithm computes trajectory errors and finds a recent location update that should be sent to the server to satisfy the user requirements. We evaluate the proposed algorithm with real GPS trajectory data consisting of 17 201 trajectories. The intensive simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm always meets the given user requirements and exhibits a data reduction ratio of greater than 87% when the acceptable trajectory error is greater than or equal to 10 meters.展开更多
