Audio event is composed of intricate phonic patterns which are harmonically entangled. Audio recognition is dominated by low and mid-level features, which have demonstrated their recognition capability but they have high computational cost and low semantic meaning. In this paper, we propose a new computationally efficient framework for audio recognition. Audio Bank, a new high-level representation of audio, is comprised of distinctive audio detectors representing each audio class in frequency-temporal space. Dimensionality of the resulting feature vector is reduced using non-negative matrix factorization preserving its discriminability and rich semantic information. The high audio recognition performance using several classifiers (SVM, neural network, Gaussian process classification and k-nearest neighbors) shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"168 1","pages":"82-87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73217063","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}

Therefore, we have developed a robotic gadget for assisting people with severe disabilities by supporting the hand movements needed for everyday life and social activities, and thus promote those persons' participation in the community. To select the optimal services to be provided, we implemented focus-group interviews, targeting people with spinal cord injuries above the C4 vertebrae. Based on the extracted optimal services, we developed a robotic gadget to assist with a wide range of hand movements. The robotic gadget consists of a complex work module (offering three degrees of freedom) to assist with a range of hand movements, and a robotic arm (also with three degrees of freedom) to move the complex work module. The robotic arm incorporates a “tendon mechanism” whereby wires are used to minimize the size of the robotic arm joint. A parallel link mechanism automatically controls the position of the complex work module so that the smart device always faces the user regardless of the rotation of the robotic arm. The use of the parallel link mechanism also reduces the number of actuators required to keep the complex work module facing the user. The complex work module incorporates a card holder, which can load and eject up to four cards, and uses micro piezo motors to minimize its size. By implementing kinematic analysis, we calculated the position and orientation of an end-effector that can determine the space in which the complex work module operates. In this study, we verified the performance of the robotic gadget by building a prototype. The robotic gadget for supporting hand movements can be installed on a wheelchair or within the user's range of activity, and is expected to help severely disabled people as it improves their access to smart devices, assists them with the hand movements needed to partake in social activities, increases their interactions with able-bodied people, and promotes their participation in the community.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"111 1","pages":"1594-1599"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78524634","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 this study, the voltage supplied to train in trial operation was monitored and analyzed to identify the voltage condition supplied by the existing railroad. To directly measure the voltage supplied to train, PT was installed at the bottom of train pantograph for monitoring the primary voltage of the transformer, and for accurate measuring, surrounding environment and conditions were recorded and the analysis of stringing voltage using CBEMA curve was conducted. As a result, some of the section on Honam, Jonngang and Taebaek line were supplied 110[%] pf rated voltage (25[kV]) for more than 200[s] frequently exceeding 110[%] Taebaek line appeared to have had the installed voltage in worst condition.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"14 1","pages":"997-1001"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78753943","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 is known that the weight reduction of vehicle systems can decrease the power consumption when the traditional mechanical components can be replaced by electronic devices. Thus, X-by-wire system will be a trend in the automotive industry for saving energy. An event trigger design for vehicle control is proposed in this paper for vehicle control by using the protocol of Controller Area Network (CAN). The proposed design covers the development of CAN communication node, which is developed by using microprocessor chip Microchip PIC18F4585 and MCP2551 CAN transceiver. In addition, an interactive GUI-based utility program developer is also built up for user to easily develop the required function call to cope with the design specification. A wireless electric-driven control vehicle is served as a platform to verify the design of drive-by-wire and brake-by-wire operations. Experimental results demonstrate the success of the proposed design.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"35 1","pages":"1233-1237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73824386","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}

Especially, the fusion of a LIDAR(Light Detection And Ranging) and a camera is one of the sensor combination broadly used because it provides the complementary and redundant information. Many existing calibration approaches consider the problem estimating the relative pose between each sensor pair such as a LIDAR and a camera. However, these approaches do not provide accurate solutions for multisensor configurations such as a LIDAR and cameras or LIDARs and cameras. In this paper, we propose a new extrinsic calibration algorithm using closed-loop constraints for multi-modal sensor configuration. The extrinsic calibration parameters are estimated by minimizing the distance between corresponding features projected onto the image plane. We conduct several experiments to evaluate the performance of our approach, such as comparison of the RMS distance of the ground truth and the projected points, and comparison between the independent sensor pair and our approach.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"27 1","pages":"647-651"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73457267","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 disturbance rejection performance of DOB is mainly determined by the design of two Q-filters, which are the core components of DOB structure. Despite the different roles of each Q-filter, they have been typically designed to have the same structure. In this paper, we generalize Q-filters' structures based on the observation about each Q-filter's objective and derive a robust stability condition for the proposed DOB based control system. In addition, following the generalized Q-filter design scheme, a reduced order type-k DOB is proposed to enhance the disturbance rejection performance and reduce the order of type-k DOB compared with the conventional one. Finally, a constructive Q-filter design procedure for guaranteeing robust stability of the closed-loop system is proposed under parametric uncertainties of plant which belong to an arbitrarily large compact set.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"441 1","pages":"1211-1216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86854066","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 longitudinal three-loop autopilot is designed to stabilize the non-minimum phase static unstably missile dynamics and used as the baseline for all the tan available linear autopilot topologies given with the identical closed-loop characteristic equation and time-domain step response.
