The purpose is to develop an approach to detect objects and anomalies in dynamic environmental conditions. For overcoming effects of environmental variations like high reflectivity, heat waves, fog and variable illumination, an implementation with multiple camera modalities including infrared, ultraviolet and visual spectrum is proposed. Detection of a micro-level parameters related with the environment and the water, analog sensing nodes connected to a wireless gateway are deployed. Main parameters under consideration include temperature, salinity, moisture and illumination. Software architecture for a data acquisition purpose is implemented in a C# .Net development environment. This software implementation allows parallel or concurrent data acquisition operate with a greater efficiency. Another important aspect of the software architecture implemented is to allow use of heterogeneous data for post-acquisition analysis. A problem specific data storage approach is proposed and implemented to improve availability and accessibility of the acquired data. Initial trials of this system clearly indicate merits of the system proposed. This approach has a strong capability to support capturing huge information of different scenarios and with a greater efficiency.","PeriodicalId":235698,"journal":{"name":"2015 Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128229481","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 information is required to reconfigure, in real-time, the PV array in order to mitigate the power losses caused by partial shading and other mismatching conditions. The algorithm is based on a parameterized model of the PV system, and it is designed to run in commercial graphic processing units (GPU). This GPU-accelerated approach provides a significant reduction in the processing time compared with the classical CPU-only serial algorithm. Hence, the proposed GPU-based reconfiguration enables to reconfigure, in real-time, PV systems much larger contrasted with the CPU-only approach.","PeriodicalId":235698,"journal":{"name":"2015 Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering","volume":"352 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122037908","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}

Generally, the processes are nonlinear, of high order and thus the number of tuning parameters for the controller are in proportion to the model order. Mobile robot models are nonlinear and complex, and the use of traditional procedures to design the SMC would result in a really extensive and probably inefficient expression. For that reason, the robot platform will be treated as a black-box, where only the input and output signals are known, and from them a linear low order model obtained. The linear model is used to synthesize the controller. Therefore, this paper proposes a general approach using a linear low order model of the robot for the SMC implementation. The designed controller has tuned parameters based in the use of a PID-like surface, which simplifies the implementation and avoids the use of the complete model of the robot. A robot Pioneer 3DX is used to test the controller's performance when tracking a square trajectory.","PeriodicalId":235698,"journal":{"name":"2015 Asia-Pacific Conference on Computer Aided System Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127233220","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}
