In this paper we present the first results of a radically new approach to phase reconstruction in AO based on non linear methods for the processing of complex signals having multiscale properties. We make use of the Microcanonical Multiscale Formalism (herein referred to as MMF) to infer properties along the scales of the complex signal made of the perturbated optical phase, and we perform the reconstruction of the phase using appropriate wavelet decomposition associated to the cascading properties of fully developped turbulence.","PeriodicalId":211450,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Workshop on Electronics, Control, Measurement and Signals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116150487","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 interaction aims at improving the guidance of an operator during a robot motion task in a virtual environment with the help of an automatic path planning algorithm. Existing works use a two-step decomposition which limits the interaction between the user and the ongoing process. We propose a modification of a classic motion planning method, the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree to build a Interactive-RRT. This method is based on exchanging forces between the algorithm and the user, and on data gathering (labels) from the virtual scene. Examples are shown to illustrate the Interactive motion planning system and analysis are done in function on the user's dexterity to manipulate devices.","PeriodicalId":211450,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Workshop on Electronics, Control, Measurement and Signals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127233900","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 critical path of the presented designs consists of only one pass-transistor, which causes low propagation delay. High driving capability, full-balanced full-swing outputs and low number of transistors of basic structure of the designs are the obvious features of them. As known, Hybrid-CMOS full adders can be divided into three modules. Four new full adder circuits with high performance and high drivability have proposed in this paper by embedding the circuits in carry module. Simulations have been performed with TSMC 0.13-μm technology using HSpice and show that the proposed circuits exhibit better performance in compare with previously suggested circuits. These circuits outperform their counterparts showing 52%–81% improvement in the power-delay product.","PeriodicalId":211450,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Workshop on Electronics, Control, Measurement and Signals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129707617","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}

This method is related to the blind source separation (BSS) problem, and is based on sparse component analysis (SCA) and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF). Our approach consists in identifying the mixing matrix in the first stages, by using a spatial correlation-based SCA method, combined with clustering. An NMF method is used to extract spatial sources in the last stage. The overall proposed method is applicable to the globally underdetermined BSS model in multispectral remote sensing images. An experiment based on realistic synthetic mixtures is performed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach. We also show that our method significantly outperforms the sequential maximum angle convex cone (SMACC) method.","PeriodicalId":211450,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Workshop on Electronics, Control, Measurement and Signals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123080743","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}

If something has to be measured with this kind of cameras, a proper camera calibration must be done. The usual calibration methods are not valid in this case because they are based on the pin-hole camera model, this model being valid only for normal cameras, i.e. cameras that have the image plane and the lens plane parallel. Thus, a new camera model and its respective calibration must be developed, which includes the Scheimplug angle in the intrinsic camera parameters. In this article, the new camera model and its calibration are defined. Experimental results indicate that using this calibration cameras under Scheimpflug condition can be accurately calibrated.","PeriodicalId":211450,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Workshop on Electronics, Control, Measurement and Signals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123872940","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}

To perform such a task, we have already developed two main controllers: a visual servoing one in charge of the navigation in the free space, and an obstacle avoidance one able to guarantee non collision. We have added a topological map made of several characteristic landmarks to realize large displacements. To deal with the occlusions, we have designed an algorithm which can compute the necessary visual data when they are temporarily lost. However, this algorithm requires initial conditions not only on the visual features but also on their depth. If the first ones are given by the last image before the occlusion, the second one is not available on our robot. Thus, in this paper we first propose a supervision algorithm able to select the right controller at the right instant and to switch smoothly between the different control laws. Second, we address the problem of the depth reconstruction and we compare two interesting methods from a theoretical and practical point of view. Simulation results in a noisy context and a table summarizing the advantages and drawbacks of both methods are provided.","PeriodicalId":211450,"journal":{"name":"2011 10th International Workshop on Electronics, Control, Measurement and Signals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123390769","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}
