The averaged model is linearized using the Jacobian technique for controller design purposes. To yield good trajectory tracking response, a state feedback controller (SF) is used for the sake of system stabilization. To consider the effect of the reference input without steady-state error, a two-DoF controller (2DoF) is designed. However, the system is not robust to any external disturbances. An integral two-DoF controller (2DoF_I) is proposed to accomplish robust performance against external disturbances. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in attaining robust trajectory tracking.","PeriodicalId":253090,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121543695","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}

Several image matching techniques using features descriptors and detectors that can be used for target detection were introduced in the literature. These techniques achieve the detection task accurately in case of capturing the reference and scene images from the same sensor. On the other hand, the performance of these matching techniques is degraded if the scene and reference images were captured from different sensors because of different image transformations and deformations problems that occur.This paper introduces a robust technique that enhances the performance of the target detection. We argue that, the proposed technique differs significantly from many recent target detection techniques, as it is based mainly on a voting process that select the best matches between the reference images and the scene image. The proposed technique emphasizes the features of objects in multiple reference images with different perspective angles for enhancing the matching task. Experimental results with real images are used to illustrate the efficiency of this approach. The accuracy percentage for the proposed technique is 48.4615 %. The performance of the proposed technique outperforms the recent techniques and increases the resilience of the image matching task against different image transformations and deformations problems. Finally, the performance analysis is accomplished using three metrics: number of matches, execution time, and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":253090,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127233559","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 paper presents a new extension to DE algorithm through extending the line of research for AGDE algorithm. The new algorithm, which we name GADE, enhanced the DE algorithm by introducing a generalized adaptive framework for enhancing the performance of DE. Numerical experiments on a set of 10 test problems from the CEC2020 benchmarks for 5, 10, 15 and 20 dimensions, including a comparison with state-of-the-art algorithm are executed.

For those cells that are not in outage, the cell degradation classification algorithm identifies the level of performance as either critical degradation, medium degradation or normal cell operation. The key idea of the proposed classification approach is to use the least number of KPIs by studying the correlation between the different KPIs. We consider three different machine learning algorithms for classification. Our results show that the Random Forest approach results in the highest accuracy of 99% with a runtime reduced by 29% due to the reduction in the number of used KPIs.","PeriodicalId":253090,"journal":{"name":"2020 2nd Novel Intelligent and Leading Emerging Sciences Conference (NILES)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133881806","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}
