Firstly, the continuous-time model of the plant and actuation system has been transformed into the discrete-time domain using Adams–Bashforth and Adams–Moulton discretization techniques. In the next step, considering saturation boundaries, the modified position and velocity references are derived using the discrete-time reaching law-based control approach. These modified references are obtained through an optimization algorithm that calculates the closest achievable position and velocity trajectories with respect to the desired reference trajectory. Modifying desired trajectories in MIMO systems results in the formation of a system of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Solving such systems of inequalities requires the use of complex methods, and this difficulty increases with the increase in the system’s degrees of freedom (DOFs). The proposed strategy offers a more straightforward approach to solving these inequalities. Once the modified references are calculated, the corresponding position and velocity control signals can be obtained using the mentioned reaching law strategies. The final step of the proposed algorithm is to combine the resulting position and velocity control signals using a Gaussian-weighted averaging method to form the main control signal. A desirable performance for the control system can be achieved by appropriately adjusting the standard deviations of the Gaussian weighing functions. To evaluate the performance characteristics of the proposed method, it has been applied in the tracking control procedure of a nonlinear 3-DOF mechanical system. The numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17283,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Franklin Institute-engineering and Applied Mathematics","volume":"361 18","pages":"Article 107350"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relying on the internal system state, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism is built to regulate the information transmission between agents. In this mechanism, a variable threshold weight composed of the deviations of the relative neighboring errors and historical state errors is proposed to adaptively schedule the triggering thresholds with systems running stages.

Nevertheless, TIR target tracking encounters challenges such as fast target motion and interference from visually similar objects, substantially compromising the tracking precision of TIR trackers. To surmount these challenges, we propose a method grounded in the strategy of search region updating and hierarchical feature fusion, tailored for the precise TIR target-tracking task. Specifically, to address the issue of fast motion causing the target to depart from the search region, we propose to update the current search region by leveraging historical frame information. Additionally, we employ a hierarchical feature fusion strategy to contend with interference from visually similar objects in the tracking scenario. This strategy enhances the ability to model and represent the target more accurately, thereby elevating the tracker’s capacity to discriminate between the target and similar objects. Furthermore, to tackle the challenge of inaccurate estimation of target bounding boxes, we introduce an enhanced Intersection over Union (IoU) loss function, which improvement facilitates a more precise prediction of target bounding boxes, resulting in superior target localization. Extensive experiments substantiate that our tracker exhibits a commendable level of competitiveness when compared to other trackers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17283,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Franklin Institute-engineering and Applied Mathematics","volume":"361 18","pages":"Article 107332"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142535744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
