Acquired data can be utilized in diverse applications such as detection and control of hazardous agents in atmosphere and water, military targets, and so on. Over the last decade, hyperspectral remote sensing algorithms for target detection have evolved from the spectral-based methods, which only use spectral information, to more recent methods based on spatial-spectral information. Spatial information plays a crucial role to improve the efficiency of the algorithms. Furthermore, the parallelization of the algorithms reduces the computation time. Developments in the area of commodity computing provide affordable approach for target detection applications with real-time constraint. We will give a scientific overview of recent target detection algorithms which try to overcome existing limitations (e.g. spectral variability or background interference) in hyperspectral remote sensing. Unlike current target detection methods in literature, this study explains and assesses different aspects of developments in target detection algorithms comprehensively. In particular, this study focuses on development in atmospheric correction methods which especially deal with background interference, development in methods based on spectral information and spectral-spatial information (both methods especially deal with spectral variability), and parallelization of the algorithms. With consideration of hyperspectral data challenges in real-world, an optimum approach is the adaptive algorithm based on spatial-spectral information in which their computation is performed in parallel","PeriodicalId":387483,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122425697","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}

It aims at developing novel fault diagnostics techniques for the motor or rotating machines for diagnostics that is costeffective and easier to deploy from industrial perspective. Normally the encoders data is only used to measure speed, however this paper attempts to use the same data normally considered insufficient for mathematical modeling, in creating a set of model based residuals. The velocity measurements based on the timing between the hall effect sensors placed around the motor in form of a mini-plastic belt is accurately measured with a microprocessor without involving expensive A/D. Conventional schemes usually deploy the spectral analysis that requires expensive sensors and powerful data processing engines. This scheme employs the conventional encoder and with a very limited floating point implementations. The complete model based residual generator can be implemented that can relate the rotational jitters and mechanical faults and with further analysis it can be linked with a set of transformations from spectral domain to the jitter domain. The paper presents a novel model based residual generator for shaft Encoder of a motor based on its jitter model. The mechanical errors of the system are translated into variations in the angular velocity. The residual generator presented in this paper is sensitive to the resolution of jitters of 4us to cross 3s thresholds.","PeriodicalId":387483,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121401376","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}

Consequently, the inflicted interference power of the secondary transmitters on the primary receivers should be less than certain threshold levels that is required to be considered in designing power control algorithms for such networks. In this paper, we first propose a power reduction algorithm for the set of secondary transmitting links in order to guarantee that the members of this set do not violate the interference constraints set by primary users while maintaining their specific SINR quality of service requirements. In addition, in scenarios where it is not possible to meet the constraints while all transmitters are active, a distributed stochastic elimination algorithm is proposed that turns off transmission of a selected number of links. The main advantage of the proposed elimination algorithm is that it can be used in a distributed manner resulting in a more practical solution.","PeriodicalId":387483,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125630949","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}

Clusters of inferior olive neurons in the olive-cerebellar system play an important role in providing synchronized motor control signals for the activation of large number of muscles. The orbits of IONs evolving from arbitrary initial conditions are not synchronized. The objective is to design a control law such that the controlled ION tracks the trajectories of the reference ION. The derivation of the control law is based on the tuning functions method and is completed in two steps of a backstopping design process. Using Lyapunov analysis, it is shown that in the closed-loop system, the controlled ION asymptotically tracks the trajectories of the reference ION. Simulation results are presented which show precise synchronization of the two IONs.","PeriodicalId":387483,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Systems Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115336154","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}
