Moving objects in video sequences are highly connected and structured, which makes motion connectivity an advanced feature for segmentation. Accordingly, after sharp noise elimination, the cumulated difference image, which exhibits the coherent motion of the moving object, is adaptively thresholded. Then the maximal connected region is labeled, post-processed and output as the final segmenting mask. Hence the initial video object is effectively extracted. Comparative experimental results show that the proposed algorithm extracts the initial video object automatically, promptly and properly, thereby achieving satisfactory subjective and objective performance.展开更多

Modeling of whole rudder system is a challenging and difficult task. Quite often, models are too inaccurate, especially in transient stages. In model based fault detection, these inaccuracies might cause wrong actions. An effective approach, which combines nonlinear unknown input observer(NUIO) with an adaptive threshold, is proposed. NUIO can estimate the states of RSS asymptotically without any knowledge of external disturbance. An adaptive threshold is used for decision making which helps to reduce the influence of model uncertainty. Actuator and sensor faults that occur in RSS are considered both by simulation and experimental tests. The observer performance, robustness and fault detection capability are verified. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed fault detection scheme is efficient and can be used for on-line fault detection.展开更多

The general convergence will be demonstrated, and in addition, the bound of the number of iterations is established in some special cases. Under suitable assumptions, it is proved that any accumulation point of the sequence generated by the APGT methods is a local minimizer of the underdetermined linear system. Moreover, the APGT methods, under certain conditions, can find all s-sparse solutions for accurate measurement cases and guarantee the stability and robustness for flawed measurement cases. Numerical examples are presented to show the accordance with theoretical results in compressed sensing and verify high out-of-sample performance in index tracking.展开更多
