The investigations concentrate on the first five resonance modes of the structure, and assesses the ability of developed control approach in attenuating the deflection of the plate structure. The performance of the AVC system is presented in both time and frequency domains with random, pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) and finite duration step disturbance signals. Simulation results reveal that good performance is achieved with this approach.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127080856","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 main reason for studying SNNs lies in their close resemblance with biological neural networks. However their applicability in real world applications has been limited due to the lack of efficient training methods. For training large networks on large data sets, online learning is the more natural approach for learning non-stationary tasks. In this paper, existing offline and online learning algorithms for SNNs will be reviewed, the issue that online learning algorithms for SNNs were less developed will be highlighted, and future lines of research related to online training of SNNs will be presented.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124112560","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 result is a ranked list of concepts which are most related to the ambiguous term given the context it exists in. For the evaluation experiment, the benchmark is constructed from a segment of the internal links of Wikipedia.

In this paper, a new approach for facial emotion recognition is investigated. The proposal involves the use of Haar transform and adaptive AdaBoost algorithm for face identification and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in conjunction with minimum distance classifier for face recognition. Two approaches have been investigated for facial expression recognition. The former relies on the use of PCA and K-nearest neighbour (KNN) classification algorithm, while the latter advocates the use of Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) and KNN algorithms. The proposal was tested and validated using Taiwanese and Indian face databases.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124118890","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 accuracy of minutiae extraction depends on the quality of the skeleton image. This paper presents a novel approach of fully reconstructing the fingerprint images besides using merely the traditional procedures of fingerprint enhancement. The reconstruction would not only improve the quality of the skeleton image but also increase the accuracy of minutiae extraction and thereby improve the recognition results. The proposed algorithm deals with the three quality degrading problems in skeleton images; ridges not being strictly continuous, parallel ridges not being well separated, and finally the ridges not being smooth. The algorithm reconstructs the broken ridges into fine ridges/valleys, increases the uniformity of the ridges/valley width and renders a smooth ridge structure. The reconstruction is an independent process and can be implemented as a separate module between the preprocessing and minutiae extraction phases of a typical Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114977230","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 laboratory set-up system which resembles the behaviour of a helicopter, namely twin rotor multi-input multi-output system (TRMS) is used as an experimental rig in this research. This paper presents an investigation using inverse model control for the TRMS. The control techniques embraced in this work are direct inverse-model control, augmented PID with feedforward inverse-model control and augmented PID with feedback inverse-model control. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is used to tune the parameter of PID controller. To demonstrate the applicability of the methods, a simulated hovering motion of the TRMS, derived from experimental data is considered. The proposed inverse model based controller is shown to be capable of handling both systems dynamic as well as rigid body motion of the system, providing good overall system performance.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117351117","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}

Typical methods applied involve computing 2D image feature correspondences between multiple frames, used in conjunction with camera models and movement to recover 3D feature position. In this work, we present a novel method for 3D scene recovery from monocular video. To provide greater robustness, we propose that rather than searching the 2D image space for feature correspondence, the 3D space in which the recovery is performed is searched directly. However, the search space presented by such a task can be quite large. We, therefore, present a technique to reduce the traversal of this search space. This comprises of enforcing geometric constraints on the recovered 3D data, ensuring a logically consistent 3D scene is reconstructed. We further propose a method (combining sequential image subtraction and region growing) to cope with the problems of 3D scene reconstruction as applied to unconstrained outdoor data. The proposed method is applied to the 3D recovery of outdoor scenes. Comparing with other, more traditional, 3D recovery methods, the proposed method provides more accurate results.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125739721","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}
