Robust small target detection of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is very important in infrared search and track applications for self-defense or attacks. Consequently, an effective small target detection algorithm inspired by the contrast mechanism of human vision system and derived kernel model is presented in this paper. At the first stage, the local contrast map of the input image is obtained using the proposed local contrast measure which measures the dissimilarity between the current location and its neighborhoods. In this way, target signal enhancement and background clutter suppression are achieved simultaneously. At the second stage, an adaptive threshold is adopted to segment the target. The experiments on two sequences have validated the detection capability of the proposed target detection method. Experimental evaluation results show that our method is simple and effective with respect to detection accuracy. In particular, the proposed method can improve the SNR of the image significantly.

A Local Contrast Method for Small Infrared Target Detection

This brief studies an adaptive neural output feedback tracking control of uncertain nonlinear multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems in the discrete-time form. The considered MIMO systems are composed of n subsystems with the couplings of inputs and states among subsystems. In order to solve the noncausal problem and decouple the couplings, it needs to transform the systems into a predictor form. The higher order neural networks are utilized to approximate the desired controllers. By using Lyapunov analysis, it is proven that all the signals in the closed-loop system is the semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the output errors converge to a compact set. In contrast to the existing results, the advantage of the scheme is that the number of the adjustable parameters is highly reduced. The effectiveness of the scheme is verified by a simulation example.

Adaptive Neural Output Feedback Tracking Control for a Class of Uncertain Discrete-Time Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, the problems of stability and tracking control for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics are addressed by designing the decentralized adaptive fuzzy output feedback approach. Because the dynamic surface control technique is introduced, the designed controllers can avoid the issue of “explosion of complexity,” which comes from the traditional backstepping design procedure that deals with large-scale nonlinear systems with unmodeled dynamics. In addition, a reduced-order observer is designed to estimate those immeasurable states. Based on the Lyapunov stability method, it is proven that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded, and the system outputs track the reference signals to a small neighborhood of the origin by choosing the design parameters appropriately. The simulation examples are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Adaptive Fuzzy Control via Observer Design for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Unmodeled Dynamics

In this paper, a generalized multiple-kernel fuzzy C-means (FCM) (MKFCM) methodology is introduced as a framework for image-segmentation problems. In the framework, aside from the fact that the composite kernels are used in the kernel FCM (KFCM), a linear combination of multiple kernels is proposed and the updating rules for the linear coefficients of the composite kernel are derived as well. The proposed MKFCM algorithm provides us a new flexible vehicle to fuse different pixel information in image-segmentation problems. That is, different pixel information represented by different kernels is combined in the kernel space to produce a new kernel. It is shown that two successful enhanced KFCM-based image-segmentation algorithms are special cases of MKFCM. Several new segmentation algorithms are also derived from the proposed MKFCM framework. Simulations on the segmentation of synthetic and medical images demonstrate the flexibility and advantages of MKFCM-based approaches.

A Multiple-Kernel Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm for Image Segmentation

To achieve an excellent dual-arm coordination of the humanoid robot, it is essential to deal with the nonlinearities existing in the system dynamics. The literatures so far on the humanoid robot control have a common assumption that the problem of output hysteresis could be ignored. However, in the practical applications, the output hysteresis is widely spread; and its existing limits the motion/force performances of the robotic system. In this paper, an adaptive neural control scheme, which takes the unknown output hysteresis and computational efficiency into account, is presented and investigated. In the controller design, the prior knowledge of system dynamics is assumed to be unknown. The motion error is guaranteed to converge to a small neighborhood of the origin by Lyapunov’s stability theory. Simultaneously, the internal force is kept bounded and its error can be made arbitrarily small.

Adaptive Neural Control for Dual-Arm Coordination of Humanoid Robot With Unknown Nonlinearities in Output Mechanism

This paper investigates the fusion of unknown direction hysteresis model with adaptive neural control techniques in face of time-delayed continuous time nonlinear systems without strict-feedback form. Compared with previous works on the hysteresis phenomenon, the direction of the modified Bouc–Wen hysteresis model investigated in the literature is unknown. To reduce the computation burden in adaptation mechanism, an optimized adaptation method is successfully applied to the control design. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method, two neural-network-based adaptive control algorithms are constructed to guarantee that all the system states and adaptive parameters remain bounded, and the tracking error converges to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. In final, some numerical examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control methods.
