The approach uses the generalized Nyquist stability criterion to find the parameters of linear parameterized controllers for Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the generalized plant does not have to be diagonally dominant and that there is no need for a desired open-loop response function. By constraining the Nyquist curve from certain parts in the frequency domain, controller parameters that guarantee stability and performance of the closed-loop system can be found. The method is successfully applied to two cases involving a double-mass-spring-damper system. In the first case only controller parameters are optimized and in the second case both structural and controller parameters are optimized.","PeriodicalId":13260,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Proceedings Volumes","volume":"110 1","pages":"736-741"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81477932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the difference between inside and outside temperature profiles could make a significant impact on the final product quality. The preforms are preheated by infrared heating oven system which is often an open loop system and relies heavily on trial and error approach to adjust the lamp power settings. In this paper, a radial basis function (RBF) neural network model, optimized by a two-stage selection (TSS) algorithm combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO), is developed to model the nonlinear relations between the lamp power settings and the output temperature profile of PET bottles. Then an improved PSO method for lamp setting adjustment using the above model is presented. Simulation results based on experimental data confirm the effectiveness of the modelling and optimization method.","PeriodicalId":13260,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Proceedings Volumes","volume":"18 1","pages":"766-771"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87311048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A foggy image visibility enhancing algorithm based on an imaging model and wavelet transform technique is proposed in this paper. An optical imaging model in foggy weather conditions is established to determine the image degradation factors and compensation strategies. Based on this, the original image is firstly transferred into YUV color space of a luminance and two chrominance components. Then the luminance component is decomposed through wavelet transform into low- and high-frequency subbands. In the low-frequency subband, the medium scattered light component is estimated using Gaussian blur and removed from the image. Nonlinear transform for enhancement of foggy images is applied to high-frequency subbands. In the end, a new image is recovered by combining the chrominance components and the corrected luminance component altogether. Experimental results demonstrate that this algorithm can handle the problem of image blurring caused by atmospheric scattering effectively, and has a better real-time performance compared with a standard model-based procedure.","PeriodicalId":13260,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Proceedings Volumes","volume":"1 1","pages":"930-935"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89969929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inspired by the ideas of reduced vertical separation minimum and reducing aircraft separation standard, this paper analyzes the distributing characteristics of civil aircraft tracks in cruising level space and presents a novel method for probability density estimation of civil aircraft tracks' relative altitudes in their cruising flight level spaces, and analyzes the distributing characteristics at their cruising altitude direction. The method is based on QAR data of enough random civil aircraft tracks from a domestic airline. First, we choose altitude data of each track's main cruise phase and calculate altitude values relative to the standard cruise altitude of respective cruising flight level, we call these processes as spatial alignment and the relative altitudes as relative-cruising altitudes or relative-cruise altitudes. Secondly, we do temporal alignment and figure out the relative altitude values of these tracks in panel data form. Then, we estimate the probability density of the relative altitude values using kernel density estimate method, with the least square cross-validation method choosing asymptotically optimal smoothing parameters. Finally, we figure out different confidence track bands, namely confidence interval limits, and do analysis. All the analysis results show that there is a great deal of airspace margin and space resource potential in each cruising levels. Hence there are a great possibility and expectation that the vertical separation minimum can be reduced again and add flight levels, which is beneficial to increase air traffic capacity and relieve traffic jams.","PeriodicalId":13260,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Proceedings Volumes","volume":"25 1","pages":"4201-4208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73923239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
