It is also an important approach for computers to reconstruct the three-dimensional world by 2D-images. Many factors are directly related to the accuracy of binocular camera calibration. We conduct a simulation experiment to study them. 3ds Max is used to produce images and Matlab Toolbox is for calibration. The results are analyzed to find the range of factors that minimizes the calibration error. Compared with classical method such as using real checkerboard, it does not require complex experimental instruments and can be repeated conveniently. Conclusion drawn from this experiment can help study in camera calibration when trying to set an initial value.","PeriodicalId":226586,"journal":{"name":"2018 33rd Youth Academic Annual Conference of Chinese Association of Automation (YAC)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134584138","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 key novelty of our proposed method is that the control can be achieved by a continuous control law with pseudoholonomic behavior. Moreover, the proposed control method in this paper is a distributed law under which each subsystem only shares information with neighboring subsystems. An example for a planar multibody with 3 rigid bodies is taken to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":226586,"journal":{"name":"2018 33rd Youth Academic Annual Conference of Chinese Association of Automation (YAC)","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133811391","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 sensor performance is typically described based on intensity, sensitivity and spatial resolution. These factors all depend on sensor structural parameters. This study is to find optimum structural parameters of the planar electromagnetic sensor using Response Surface Method (RSM) and the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The width of the driving winding, the width of the sensing winding, the space between the driving and sensing winding, the self-spacing of the sensing winding and the winding length are chosen as structural design parameters. The second-order response surface model of the relationship among the structural parameters and the sensor performance indexes is established based on the finite element model simulation. By utilizing the satisfaction function, the multi-objective optimization design problem can be converted into a single-objective problem. The optimal solution of the model is achieved by utilizing the genetic algorithm and the optimal parameters of the sensor are determined. The planar electromagnetic sensor is fabricated by Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) technology. The results show that the sensor can measure the metal effectively.","PeriodicalId":226586,"journal":{"name":"2018 33rd Youth Academic Annual Conference of Chinese Association of Automation (YAC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132634665","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}

And then a Radial Basis Function (RBF) Neural Network is used to estimate the error of the particle filter. When the laser data is reliable, RBF Neural Network converts into the learning mode to train the model, and when the laser data is interrupted or unreliable, the system is compensated by using the trained model.
