A typical scenario involves the nodes to estimate their locations using relative measurements from neighbors. When full relative positions (coordinates or, equivalently, range and angle) between pairs of nodes are available, the problem reduces to linear estimation. Contrary, when distance-only (range) measurements are available, the localization problem is strongly NP-hard, and convergence of general-purpose optimization techniques can no longer be guaranteed. In the present paper we analyze three ad-hoc numerical techniques for solving the network localization problem under range-only measurements, namely an iterative Least-Squares algorithm, a Trust-Region method, and a Global Continuation method based on Gaussian smoothing. The global convergence properties of these techniques are then tested through numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":445473,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems","volume":"147 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122052553","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}

Exudates tend to form ring, around area of diseased vessel and appeared as yellowish-white deposits with well-defined edges meanwhile cotton wool spots are grayish-white with poorly defined fluffy edges. Exudates can be highlighted from the background easier rather than cotton wool spots since it has well defined edge. In order to detect these lesions, a proper technique is needed to segment the cotton wool spots and exudates from the background. Therefore, this paper is proposed to sharpen the edge to simplify the segmentation process for cotton wool spots and exudates through ramp width reduction.","PeriodicalId":445473,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123073865","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}

For pattern recognition, a major drawback with traditional neural networks is that neural networks may easily be trapped in spurious states. Synergetic neural network (SNN) has been proposed in the literature to overcome this problem, however, when applying synergetic neural network on face recognition, the results are not satisfactory for large image databases due to low memory capacity. Therefore, the chaotic dynamic property is introduced to the conventional synergetic neural network in order to resolve the problem. In this paper, an additional control parameter is introduced to the chaotic synergetic neural network (CSNN) in order to terminate the recognition process whenever an image is recognized. This helps to alleviate processing memory demand which often accompanies such networks. Various imagery defects are tested and the accuracy of both methods is evaluated based on incremental sample size.","PeriodicalId":445473,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems","volume":"79 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120893672","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}

In many practical applications, however, the process model cannot be obtained and model-free tuning is imperative. In industrial control the huge amount of data is available, but we lack effective controller tuning schemes that are data driven instead of model driven. To address this issue, in this paper we first introduce the concept of feature space that can capture the characteristics of a control process, either in the time domain, frequency domain, or others. (data space to feature space, dim reduction) Next we introduce the control basis function space and control parameter space. The features and parameters form a mapping relationship. The controller tuning process can thus be formulated into the inversion of the mapping that yields appropriate control parameters and minimizes the mismatching between reference features and actual features. When the inversion is not analytically solvable, the iterative learning tuning method can be used.","PeriodicalId":445473,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117127214","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}

In recent years, many organizations have started to show interest in porting this technology to their existing business processes. With the increase in popularity of the technology, many vendor-specific RFID readers are being manufactured and sold to interested organizations. Deployment of such RFID readers to existing business processes is difficult as software developers need to understand each vendor-specific RFID reader, due to lack of standardization among RFID readers. This paper describes a scalable and adaptable middleware, called RFIDMania, designed to allow software developers to interact with any RFID reader without having to know the specifics of the reader. RFIDMania provides a framework to process data received from RFID tags, and translate, decode, filter and route the data to the application in the form of an event. RFIDMania is able to offer software developers a framework to deliver portable generic code that is not tightly coupled with hardware specific commands.","PeriodicalId":445473,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems","volume":"54 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129366651","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 growing importance of biopolymer has triggered researchers to focus on this matter. One of the important criteria in production of biopolymer is the quality of the product itself. The high quality product is absolutely desirable. Therefore, a method of controlling biopolymer quality is certainly indispensible in this matter. Medical devices certainly demand a high quality biopolymer as these devices always get along with strict specifications in their production. Biopolymerization furthermore is a very nonlinear process which requires a powerful tool to tackle the nonlinearity of the process. Neural network is apparently a powerful tool especially in modeling nonlinear and intricate process. Nevertheless, single network may face problem such as lack generalization capability which can lead to poor performance of the model. Hence, a good alteration to the network is essential to extenuate the problem. Bootstrap re-sampling method is one way to tackle such a job.
