Local Binary Pattern operator transforms an static image, at pixel level, into a matrix of labels. These labels - integer numbers - describe and characterise the original image at a much lower scale. The authors propose the use of labels as a global characteristic of an static image. These techniques can be applied to an image or to a group of images and the characterization is done through an array of values extracted by the algorithm. The application developed allows the characterization of an image or a set of images, determining the similarity between different images and the degree of belonging to a particular group. Vectors of values are required for more images and image groups and each vector is representing different textures and their classification. As a result it becomes possible that indexing images, take into account the content of the information present in the image.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132377431","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}

A model-free PI control system structure is considered in the framework of reference tracking control using a first-order nonlinear dynamic system as a local approximation of the process model. The derivatives are estimated numerically using a Savitzky-Golay filter that solves the differentiation and also the smoothing. The model-free PI control system structure is applied to the speed control of a laboratory nonlinear DC drive as a representative mechatronics application. The experimental results for three different reference input shapes show the very good performance in model reference tracking, reference trajectory tracking and numerical differentiation.","PeriodicalId":304729,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121268459","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}
