Firstly, the uncertain nonlinear dynamic and unknown periodic TVP are represented by using neural networks(NNs) and Fourier series expansion(FSE), respectively. Secondly, based on the ANNC and reparameterization approaches, two control algorithms are designed to make the uncertain parabolic DPSs with NPTVP asymptotically stable. The sufficient conditions of the asymptotically stable for the resulting closed-loop systems are also derived. Finally, a simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the two control algorithms designed in this work.展开更多

The dynamical and kinematical model for the coaxial eight-rotor UAV is developed, which has never been proposed before. A robust backstepping sliding mode controller(BSMC) with adaptive radial basis function neural network(RBFNN) is proposed to control the attitude of the eightrotor UAV in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. The combinative method of backstepping control and sliding mode control has improved robustness and simplified design procedure benefiting from the advantages of both controllers. The adaptive RBFNN as the uncertainty observer can effectively estimate the lumped uncertainties without the knowledge of their bounds for the eight-rotor UAV. Additionally, the adaptive learning algorithm, which can learn the parameters of RBFNN online and compensate the approximation error, is derived using Lyapunov stability theorem. And then the uniformly ultimate stability of the eight-rotor system is proved. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed robust control method adopted in the novel coaxial eight-rotor UAV in the case of model uncertainties and external disturbances.展开更多

In this work, the initial states are not required to be identical further but can be varying from iteration to iteration. In addition, the desired terminal point is not fixed any more but is allowed to change run-to-run. Consequently, a new adaptive TILC is proposed with a neural network initial state learning mechanism to achieve the learning objective over iterations. The neural network is used to approximate the effect of iteration-varying initial states on the terminal output and the neural network weights are identified iteratively along the iteration axis.A dead-zone scheme is developed such that both learning and adaptation are performed only if the terminal tracking error is outside a designated error bound. It is shown that the proposed approach is able to track run-varying terminal desired points fast with a specified tracking accuracy beyond the initial state variance.展开更多

Compared with the PI controller, numerical simulations are performed to validate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed AIC strategy.
文摘Crowd Anomaly Detection has become a challenge in intelligent video surveillance system and security.Intelligent video surveillance systems make extensive use of data mining,machine learning and deep learning methods.In this paper a novel approach is proposed to identify abnormal occurrences in crowded situations using deep learning.In this approach,Adaptive GoogleNet Neural Network Classifier with Multi-Objective Whale Optimization Algorithm are applied to predict the abnormal video frames in the crowded scenes.We use multiple instance learning(MIL)to dynamically develop a deep anomalous ranking framework.This technique predicts higher anomalous values for abnormal video frames by treating regular and irregular video bags and video sections.We use the multi-objective whale optimization algorithm to optimize the entire process and get the best results.The performance parameters such as accuracy,precision,recall,and F-score are considered to evaluate the proposed technique using the Python simulation tool.Our simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional methods on the public live video dataset.

文摘The striping pattern nonuniformity of the infrared line scanner (IRLS) severely limits the system performance. An adaptive nonuniformity correction (NUC) algorithm for IRLS using neural network is proposed. It uses a one-dimensional median filter to generate ideal output of network and can complete NUC by a single frame with a high correction level. Applications to both simulated and real infrared images show that the algorithm can obtain a satisfactory result with low complexity, no need of scene diversity or global motion between consecutive frames. It has the potential to realize real-time hardware-based applications.

文摘Terminal iterative learning control(TILC) is developed to reduce the error between system output and a fixed desired point at the terminal end of operation interval over iterations under strictly identical initial conditions. In this work, the initial states are not required to be identical further but can be varying from iteration to iteration. In addition, the desired terminal point is not fixed any more but is allowed to change run-to-run. Consequently, a new adaptive TILC is proposed with a neural network initial state learning mechanism to achieve the learning objective over iterations. The neural network is used to approximate the effect of iteration-varying initial states on the terminal output and the neural network weights are identified iteratively along the iteration axis.A dead-zone scheme is developed such that both learning and adaptation are performed only if the terminal tracking error is outside a designated error bound. It is shown that the proposed approach is able to track run-varying terminal desired points fast with a specified tracking accuracy beyond the initial state variance.

文摘The innovation and development in data science have an impact in all trades of life.The commercialization of sport has encouraged players,coaches,and other concerns to use technology to be in better position than r their opponents.In the past,the focus was on improved training techniques for better physical performance.These days,sports analytics identify the patterns in the performance and highlight strengths and weaknesses of potential players.Sports analytics not only predict the performance of players in the near future but it also performs predictive modeling for a particular behavior of a player in the past.The impact of a smart player on the success of a team is always a big question mark before the start of a match.The fans always want to know performance analysis of these superstar players and they always are interested to get to know more about their favorite player and they always have high hopes from their favorite player.Machine learning(ML)based techniques help in predicting the performance of an individual player as well as for the whole team.The statistics are very vital and useful for management,fans,and expert analysis.In our proposed framework,the adaptive back propagation neural network(ABPNN)model is used for the prediction of a player’s performance.The data is collected from football websites,and the results are stored in the cloud for fast fetching of data.They can be retrieved anywhere in the world through cloud storage.The results are computed with 94%accuracy and the performance of the smart player is formulated for the success of a team.

文摘The objective of this study is to construct a multi-department symptom-based automatic diagnosis model.However,it is dificult to establish a model to classify plenty of diseases and collect thousands of disease-symptom datasets simultaneously.Inspired by the thought of"knowledge graph is model",this study proposes to build an experience-infused knowledge model by continuously learning the experiential knowledge from data,and incrementally injecting it into the knowledge graph.Therefore,incremental learning and injection are used to solve the data collection problem,and the knowledge graph is modeled and containerized to solve the large-scale multi-classification problems.First,an entity linking method is designed and a heterogeneous knowledge graph is constructed by graph fusion.Then,an adaptive neural network model is constructed for each dataset,and the data is used for statistical initialization and model training.Finally,the weights and biases of the learned neural network model are updated to the knowledge graph.It is worth noting that for the incremental process,we consider both the data and class increments.We evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of the model on the current dataset and the anti-forgetting ability on the historical dataset after class increment on three public datasets.Compared with the classical model,the proposed model improves the diagnostic accuracy of the three datasets by 5%,2%,and 15%on average,respectively.Meanwhile,the model under incremental learning has a better ability to resist forgetting.
