A Correntropy-based Affine Iterative Closest Point Algorithm for Robust Point Set Registration

The iterative closest point(ICP)algorithm has the advantages of high accuracy and fast speed for point set registration,but it performs poorly when the point set has a large number of noisy outliers.To solve this problem,we propose a new affine registration algorithm based on correntropy which works well in the affine registration of point sets with outliers.Firstly,we substitute the traditional measure of least squares with a maximum correntropy criterion to build a new registration model,which can avoid the influence of outliers.To maximize the objective function,we then propose a robust affine ICP algorithm.At each iteration of this new algorithm,we set up the index mapping of two point sets according to the known transformation,and then compute the closed-form solution of the new transformation according to the known index mapping.Similar to the traditional ICP algorithm,our algorithm converges to a local maximum monotonously for any given initial value.Finally,the robustness and high efficiency of affine ICP algorithm based on correntropy are demonstrated by 2D and 3D point set registration experiments.

Environmental Risk Factors for Stomach Cancer in an African Setting about 193 Cases at the CHU Point G in Bamako/Mali

CHU (University Hospital Center) Point G: The department of surgery B is a surgical department of CHU Point G. The department is par excellence a reference department for cases of visceral surgery, cancer surgery, cardiovascular surgery, plastic and endocrinology surgery. As a reminder, the CHU Point G is the largest 3rd level referral hospital in Mali. Aim: To study the environmental risk factors of stomach cancer in the B surgery department of the Point G University Hospital in Bamako. Patients and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study with retrospective collection from January 2008 to June 2018 (126 months). Results: We have identified 380 cases of digestive cancer, including 193 cases of stomach cancer or 50.79% of digestive cancers. The mean age of the patients was 57.21 ± 13 years. Male sex represented 55% (n = 106). Eating habits were dominated by the consumption of tô with potash (cereal paste) with 64.76% (n = 185). The main methods of preserving meat and fish were curing and smoking with 57.51% (n = 111). Chronic smoking was found in 24.35% (n = 47), alcohol + tobacco consumption in 2.59% (n = 5). The low socio-economic class represented 126 cases or 65.38%. Housewives and cultivators were respectively 37.82% (n = 73) and 227.97% (n = 54). 20.20% (n = 39) had a history of epigastric pain. Epigastralgia was the most common functional sign with 84.5% of cases (n = 169). An epigastric mass was found in 72 patients or 37.3%. Adenocarcinoma represented 97.4% (n = 188). Palliative surgery concerned the majority of our patients with 64.8% of patients (n = 79). The postoperative consequences were simple in 28.57% of cases (n = 28), the postoperative morbidity and mortality were respectively 33.61% (n = 41), and 23.77% (n = 29). The overall survival rate after surgery was 10.81% at 2 years and 2.94% at 5 years. This rate was 58.83% at 2 years and 28.50% at 5 years after curative surgery. Conclusion: The risk factors for stomach cancer are many and varied. Some are particularly present in Africa. Delay in diagnosis due to a belief in traditional healers is common in our community.

Some Results on the Upper Convex Densities of the Self-Similar Sets at the Contracting-Similarity Fixed Points

In this paper, some results on the upper convex densities of self-similar sets at the contracting-similarity fixed points are discussed. Firstly, a characterization of the upper convex densities of self-similar sets at the contracting-similarity fixed points is given. Next, under the strong separation open set condition, the existence of the best shape for the upper convex densities of self-similar sets at the contracting-similarity fixed points is proven. As consequences, an open problem and a conjecture, which were posed by Zhou and Xu, are answered.

In the paper, an improved algorithm is presented for Delaunay triangulation of the point-set in the plain. Based on the original algorithm, we propose the notion of removing circle. During the process of triangulation, and the circle dynamically moves, the algorithm which is simple and practical, therefore evidently accelerates the process of searching a new point, while generating a new triangle. Then it shows the effect of the algorithm in the finite element mesh.

Use of Rough Sets Theory in Point Cluster and River Network Selection

In this paper, we applied the rough sets to the point cluster and river network selection. In order to meet the requirements of rough sets, first, we structuralize and quantify the spatial information of objects by convex hull, triangulated irregular network (TIN), Voronoi diagram, etc.;second, we manually assign decisional attributes to the information table according to conditional attributes. In doing so, the spatial information and attribute information are integrated together to evaluate the importance of points and rivers by rough sets theory. Finally, we select the point cluster and the river network in a progressive manner. The experimental results show that our method is valid and effective. In comparison with previous work, our method has the advantage to adaptively consider the spatial and attribute information at the same time without any a priori knowledge.

Set-point Filter Design for a Two-degree-of-freedom Fractional Control System

This paper focuses on a new approach to design(possibly fractional) set-point filters for fractional control systems.After designing a smooth and monotonic desired output signal,the necessary command signal is obtained via fractional input-output inversion.Then,a set-point filter is determined based on the synthesized command signal.The filter is computed by minimizing the 2-norm of the difference between the command signal and the filter step response.The proposed methodology allows the designer to synthesize both integer and fractional setpoint filters.The pros and cons of both solutions are discussed in details.This approach is suitable for the design of two degreeof-freedom controllers capable to make the set-point tracking performance almost independent from the feedback part of the controller.Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

VARIABILITY OF BUILDING SIMULATION RESULTS DEP ENDING ON SELECTED WEATHER FILES AND CONDITIONING SET POINTS-A CASE STUDY FOR A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN VICTORIA,AUSTRALIA

Building simulation is a powerful way to evaluate the performance of a building.The quality of simulation results however strongly depends on the accuracy of simulation input data.Especially for weather data files and occupant behaviour it is difficult to obtain accurate data.This paper evaluates the variability of building simulation results with regards to different weather data sets as well as different heating and cooling set points for a residential building in Victoria,Australia.Thermal comfort accord-ing to ASHRAE Standard 55,final energy consumption and peak cooling and heating loads are assessed.Simulations have been performed with Energy-Plus,and weather data for a multi-year approach have been generated with the software Meteonorm.The results show that different weather files for the same location as well as different conditioning set points can influence the results by approximately a factor of 2.

PI control based on fuzzy set-point weighting tracking for hydraulic crane boom system

A PI control strategy based on fuzzy set-point weighting following was proposed for the active damping control of a hydraulic crane boom system （HCBS）. Two valve-controlled PI controllers, which include a proportional feedforward controller based on fuzzy set-point weighting following and a limited semi-integrator（LSI）, are designed respectively. LSI is used to limit output signal and to prevent wind up at the low frequency of the spectrum. By using a range camera and an electronic feedback control, the tip damping on the HCBS can be adjusted artificially. A collaborative control simulation technique of HOPSAN and MATLAB/SIMULINK is applied to the controller design. Simulation results show that the proposed PI control system has less overshoot as well as faster response. The tip damping on the HCBS during operation is improved.
