Based on the saturation effect of the stator iron, six short voltage pulses are applied to determine the initial rotor position and the rotor can be found within 60°. After that, a series of short and long voltage pulses are used to accelerate the motor and the variation of the response current is utilized to detect the rotor position dynamically. When the motor reaches a certain speed at which the back-electromotive force (EMF) method can be applied, all the power devices are turned off and the running state of the motor is smoothly switched at the moment determined by the relationship between the terminal voltage waveform and the commutation phases. The experimental results verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.展开更多

Rotor position estimation of a PMSM is performed by using sliding mode observer(SMO). An adaptive observer gain was designed based on Lyapunov function and applied to solve the chattering problem caused by the discontinuous function of the SMO in the wide speed range. The cascade low-pass filter(LPF) with variable cut-off frequency was proposed to reduce the chattering problem and to attenuate the filtering capability of the SMO. In addition, the phase shift caused by the filter was counterbalanced by applying the variable phase delay compensation for the whole speed area. High accuracy estimation result of the rotor position was obtained in the experiment by applying the proposed estimation strategy.展开更多

The first case is the idealized case, i. e., the range measurements in the NLOS conditions and the corresponding distribution parameters of the NLOS errors are known. The probability of a communication of a pair of nodes in the NLOS conditions and the corresponding distribution parameters of the NLOS errors are known in the second case. The third case is the worst case, in which only knowledge about noise measurement power is obtained. The proposed algorithm is compared with the maximum likelihood-simulated annealing(ML-SA)-based localization algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides good location accuracy and considerably outperforms the ML-SA-based localization algorithm for every case. The root mean square error(RMSE)of the location estimate of the NBP-based localization algorithm is reduced by about 1. 6 m in Case 1, 1. 8 m in Case 2 and 2. 3 m in Case 3 compared with the ML-SA-based localization algorithm. Therefore, in the NLOS environments,the localization algorithms can obtain the location estimates with high accuracy by using the NBP method.展开更多

Traditional Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) technologies are very popular in this area since their cost is very low. In such technologies, each tag acts as the transmitter and the Radio Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) information is measured from the readers. However, RSSI information suffers severely from the multi- path phenomenon. As a result, if in a very large area, the localization accuracy will be affected seriously. In order to solve this problem, we introduce Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) with only a few nodes, each of which acts as both transmitter and receiver. In such networks, the change of signal strength(referred as dynamic of RSSI) is leveraged to select a cluster of reference tags as candidates. Then the fi nal target location is estimated by using the RSSI relationships between the target tag and candidate reference tags. Thus, the localization accuracy and scalability are able to be improved. We proposed two algorithms, SA-LANDMARC, and COCKTAIL. Experiments show that the localization accuracy of the two algorithms can reach 0.7m and 0.45 m, respectively. Compared to most traditional Radio Frequency(RF)-based approaches, the localization accuracy is improved at least 50%.展开更多

This paper proves a theorem which describes the relationship between the placement of beacon nodes and whether the node can be located in 3D indoor environment. In fact, as the highest locating accuracy can be acquired when the beacon nodes form one or more equilateral triangles in 2D plane, we generalizes this conclusion to 3D space, and proposes a beacon nodes selection algorithm based on the minimum condition number to get the higher locating accuracy, which can minimize the influence of distance measurement error.

The optimal algorithms are developed to solve the energy saving, the shortest path problems, etc. However, in the practical enviroranent, there are many fields, whose map is difficult to get, and needs to be detected. In this paper a kind of ad-hoc navigation algorithm is explored, which is based on the hybrid sensor network without the prior map in advance. The navigation system is composed of static nodes and dynamic trades. The static nodes monitor the occurrances of the events and broadcast them. In the syston, a kind of algorithm is to locate the rdbot, which is based on duster broadcasting. The dynamic nodes detect the adversary or dangerous fields and broadcast warning messages. The robot gets the message and follows ad-hoc routine to arrive where the events occur. In the whole process, energy saving has been taken into account. The algorithms, which are based on the hybrid sensor network, are given in this paper. The simulation and practical results are also available.展开更多

An area-based method is proposed to estimate full navigation parameters(FNPs), including attitude, altitude and horizontal position, for unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) navigation. Our method is composed of three main modules: geometric transfer function, local normalized sobel energy image(LNSEI) based objective function and simplex-simulated annealing(SSA) based optimization algorithm. The adoption of relatively rich scene information and LNSEI, makes it possible to yield a solution robustly even in the presence of very noisy cases, such as multi-modal and/or multi-temporal images that differ in the type of visual sensor, season, illumination, weather, and so on, and also to handle the sparsely textured regions where features are barely detected or matched. Simulation experiments using many synthetic images clearly support noise resistance and estimation accuracy, and experimental results using 2367 real images show the maximum estimation error of 5.16(meter) for horizontal position, 9.72(meter) for altitude and 0.82(degree) for attitude.展开更多
