TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a robust PID controller for a bagasse-fired boiler, which is based on the exact attainment of certain nominal time specifications while using one of the parameters of the controller to maximize the gain margin.
Abstract: This paper proposes the design of a PI $^{\alpha }$ robust controller with which to regulate the steam pressure in the steam drum of a bagasse-fired boiler. The dynamic behavior of this process was identified by means of experimentation. This identification procedure yielded an equivalent third order plus time delay model, and showed wide process static gain variations. We, therefore, propose a new method with which to design fractional-order robust controllers for this kind of processes. This method is based on the exact attainment of certain nominal time specifications while using one of the parameters of the controller to maximize the gain margin. The controllers attained were shown to significantly outperform the robustness achieved by using PI or PID controllers, in the sense of reducing the Integral Absolute Error ( IAE ) and improving the steam pressure uniformity.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the modeling and identification of a single link flexible arm compensated with a spring based mechanism and follows the lumped-mass methodology to develop a model capable of reproducing the first vibrational frequency of the flexible link arm.
Abstract: In this paper, we present an experimental study concerning the gravity compensation of flexible link arms based on linear springs. In the field of flexible link robotics, the gravity compensation based on counterweights has been successfully applied in the past, but little effort has been made to examine the potential benefits and difficulties of using spring-based compensation mechanisms. This paper focuses on the modeling and identification of a single link flexible arm compensated with a spring based mechanism. As modeling approach, we followed the lumped-mass methodology to develop a model capable of reproducing the first vibrational frequency of the flexible link arm. Keeping in mind the forces that interact with the flexible link, a combination of sensors is suggested in order to measure and estimate the most important variables of the system. Subsequently, a very simple and reliable identification method based on the time and frequency response of the system is proposed. Finally, the results of the modeling and identification are validated on our experimental platform.

TL;DR: This paper presents an input state feedback linearization controller for the tip positioning of a flexible link arm with a gravity compensation system based on springs, and proposes a sensory system to measure all the relevant signals.
Abstract: Despite the benefits that the spring based gravity compensation mechanism has brought to the field of rigid robotic manipulators, there have been no substantial efforts toward transferring these developments to the field of flexible link robotics. In this paper, we present an input state feedback linearization controller for the tip positioning of a flexible link arm with a gravity compensation system based on springs. The controller is implemented into a double loop control scheme, in which the inner loop addresses the motor position control in presence of joint friction, and the outer loop deals with vibration cancellation and the tracking of fourth-order trajectories for the tip position of the flexible arm. Taking into considerations the interacting forces between the flexible link and the gravity compensation mechanism, and also the characteristics of the control law, we propose a sensory system to measure all the relevant signals. The proposed controller is tested on an experimental prototype built in our laboratory.

TL;DR: The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images.
Abstract: MUCKE aims to mine a large volume of images, to structure them conceptually and to use this conceptual structuring in order to improve large-scale image retrieval. The last decade witnessed important progress concerning low-level image representations. However, there are a number problems which need to be solved in order to unleash the full potential of image mining in applications. The central problem with low-level representations is the mismatch between them and the human interpretation of image content. This problem can be instantiated, for instance, by the incapability of existing descriptors to capture spatial relationships between the concepts represented or by their incapability to convey an explanation of why two images are similar in a content-based image retrieval framework. We start by assessing existing local descriptors for image classification and by proposing to use co-occurrence matrices to better capture spatial relationships in images. The main focus in MUCKE is on cleaning large scale Web image corpora and on proposing image representations which are closer to the human interpretation of images. Consequently, we introduce methods which tackle these two problems and compare results to state of the art methods. Note: some aspects of this deliverable are withheld at this time as they are pending review. Please contact the authors for a preview.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of local derivatives on the detection of intensity edges in images, where the local difference of intensities is computed for each pixel in the image.
Abstract: Most of the signal processing that we will study in this course involves local operations on a signal, namely transforming the signal by applying linear combinations of values in the neighborhood of each sample point. You are familiar with such operations from Calculus, namely, taking derivatives and you are also familiar with this from optics namely blurring a signal. We will be looking at sampled signals only. Let's start with a few basic examples. Local difference Suppose we have a 1D image and we take the local difference of intensities, DI(x) = 1 2 (I(x + 1) − I(x − 1)) which give a discrete approximation to a partial derivative. (We compute this for each x in the image.) What is the effect of such a transformation? One key idea is that such a derivative would be useful for marking positions where the intensity changes. Such a change is called an edge. It is important to detect edges in images because they often mark locations at which object properties change. These can include changes in illumination along a surface due to a shadow boundary, or a material (pigment) change, or a change in depth as when one object ends and another begins. The computational problem of finding intensity edges in images is called edge detection. We could look for positions at which DI(x) has a large negative or positive value. Large positive values indicate an edge that goes from low to high intensity, and large negative values indicate an edge that goes from high to low intensity. Example Suppose the image consists of a single (slightly sloped) edge:
