Based on these results, we propose a method to over-approximate attainable sets by intersections of supporting balls, which greatly improves upon the accuracy of previously proposed approximations based on supporting halfspaces. The latter advantage can be exploited, for example, when the method is used in algorithms that compute discrete abstractions of continuous plants. As we demonstrate by an example, the design of finite-state controllers can then be based on coarser state space quantizations, which directly translates into a reduced complexity of the controllers.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134376831","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}

More importantly, it can unravel the most general coordination behavior inherent in network of diffusively coupled agents with identical dynamics. Coordination analysis for such a general framework is successfully performed based on the mixed tools from Lyapunov stability theory, matrix analysis, and algebraic graph theory, which is proved being effective in specifying the convergence rate as well.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132451329","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}

Currently the commonly used performance criteria for face hallucination are peak signal noise ratio (PSNR) and the root mean square error (RMSE). Though it is logically believed that hallucinated high-resolution face images should have a better performance in face recognition, we show in this paper that this `the higher resolution, the higher recognition' assumption is not validated systematically by some designed experiments. First, we illustrate this assumption only works when the image solution is sufficiently large. Second, in the case of very extreme low resolutions, the recognition performance of the hallucinated images obtained by some typical existing face hallucination approaches will not improve. Finally, the relationship of the popular evaluation methods in face hallucination, PSNR and RMSE, with the recognition performance are investigated. The findings of this paper can help people design new hallucination approaches with an aim of improving face recognition performance with specified classifiers.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116128438","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}

In this unified approach, both known and unknown changes in the process and controller networks may be accounted for within the same framework. The controllers reconfigure themselves for known changes in the network topology. A robust control approach is also developed to deal with unknown variations in the topology. Closed-loop stability and minimum performance of the process network is ensured by placing a dissipative trajectory constraint on each controller. This allows for the interaction effects between units to be captured in the dissipativity properties of each process, and thus, accounted for by choosing suitable dissipativity constraints for each controller.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123667584","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}

In the second step, sum-of-norms regularization is used to stress the monotone structure of the optimal policy.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129229693","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}

The MEMS resonator is similar in design to many other electrostatically actuated MEMS resonators in the literature. However, the novel aspect of the resonator is the use of electrothermal displacement sensors to capture its motion. Due to the high resolution of these sensors compared to other sensor technologies used in MEMS, there is the potential for oscillators using this type of resonators to have good phase noise performance. However, due to the low bandwidth of the sensors, only low frequency oscillators can be fabricated with this technology. Despite the differences in dynamics between typical electrostatic or piezoelectric transduced resonators, the oscillator topology using a feedback gain was found to be robust at sustaining oscillations. This was due to the interaction between the dynamics of the capacitive feedthrough and the mechanical system in the device. The frequency of the fabricated oscillator is 8844 Hz.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122482605","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}

Wherein, the first suggested control scheme is an adoption of the direct FBL approach. The other is an appropriate combination of the FBL and fuzzy logic (FBL-FL), and it is also the main proposed method of this research. In detail, a unique fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the suggested FBL, especially in reducing fluctuations in the active and reactive output powers at the steady state. In this study, the demonstrative PV inverter uses a three-level DC-AC converter, an L-type filter and a 250V/10kV wye-wye transformer to inject the energy, obtained from PV array with a nominal power of 100kW, into the 10kV/60Hz three-phase grid. Simulations illustrate that two suggested control schemes have good performances in regulating independently active and reactive output powers to the references, even within parametric uncertainties. Furthermore, comparisons of simulation results, obtained from the traditional PI control and two the presented FBL-based structures, show salient advantages of the proposed FBL-FL technique in terms of quick response, slight overshoot, small steady-state oscillation and high robustness.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113938672","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 traditional approach is based on hardware redundancy. In this way, modern actuation systems of one single control surface consist of up to two actuators and three sensors. These different dynamic subsystems are all prone to faults themselves and can be monitored. This paper presents the setup of a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system to systematically detect and isolate faults in the subcomponents of an actuation system. Based on the achievable fault signature matrix of the system, a residual filter is designed using nullspace theory. The residuals of the proposed filter form the basis of the decision making process to detect an isolate the faults. The developed FDD system is implemented into a nonlinear aircraft model, allowing a profound validation of the FDD system's detection and isolation performance for different actuator and sensor fault scenarios.","PeriodicalId":177490,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Control Conference","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115773280","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}
