Two methods of estimating image Jacobian on line by using lines as image features are proposed. The first one takes into account both the advantages of Plu¿cker representation and properties of the stereo vision system to obtain depth sensitivity of the observed 3D lines. The second one considers direct measurements of line features in the image of an uncalibrated system. A proportional control law based on the pseudoinverse of the image Jacobian is utilized to control the task. Experimental tests have been carried out to validate the proposed methods, and extended to the analytic image Jacobian from the literature.","PeriodicalId":237709,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd IEEE International Conference on E-Learning in Industrial Electronics (ICELIE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131360693","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}

Numerous diverse practical demonstrations and laboratory sessions exist for supplementing control theory. However, to fully understand these control theories through laboratory experiments would be impossible as the time needed would be too long and would not fit in the course curriculum. Using the technology of virtual instrumentation, we have developed a laboratory package to be used in the teaching of control engineering subject. The package covers topics for undergraduate students as well as post graduate students. The laboratory package features both simulated experiments and real time experiments. Results on the study of the effectiveness of the laboratory package has shown that students using this package are able to complete their laboratory experiments faster than those who do not use the package. In addition to that the students using the package obtained higher grades, demonstrating their deep understanding of the subject.","PeriodicalId":237709,"journal":{"name":"2009 3rd IEEE International Conference on E-Learning in Industrial Electronics (ICELIE)","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127027749","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}

Mathematical model of the motor is solved in the .NET framework using C# language. Parameters of the model can easily be modified via the dynamic web pages designed for the interactive simulation and then the system response is also observed graphically at the same time against the modifications.

It allows non-experienced students to become acquainted with the fundamentals of digital electronics, and advanced students to demonstrate the design skills they have learnt, through the development and validation of microprocessor-based control loops. For these purposes, advantage is taken of the many features and resources currently provided by field programmable gate arrays.
