Abstract: In this paper, the notion of orthogonal vector-valued bivariate wavelet packets, which is a generalization of uni-wavelet packets, is introduced. A procedure for constructing them is presented. Their characteristics is investigated by using time-frequency analysis method, matrix theory and finite group theory. Orthogonality formulas are established. Orthonormal wavelet packet bases are obtained.

Abstract: Fuzzy logical controller is one of the most important applications of fuzzy-rule-based system that models the human decision processing with a collection of fuzzy rules. In this paper, an adaptive ant colony algorithm is proposed based on dynamically adjusting the strategy of selection of the paths and the strategy of the trail information updating. The algorithm is used to design a fuzzy logical controller automatically for real-time control of an inverted pendulum. In order to avoid the combinatorial explosion of fuzzy rules due to multivariable inputs, state variable synthesis scheme is employed to reduce the number of fuzzy rules greatly. Experimental results show that the designed controller can control actual inverted pendulum successfully.

Abstract: In close-range digital photogrammetry and computer vision, a major challenge is the automation of 3D reconstruction from 2D-images. And single image calibration is a fundamental task in these areas for research. It is known that camera parameters can be recovered by the vanishing points of three orthogonal directions. However, three reliable and well-distributed vanishing points are not always available. Therefore, how to estimate the error of two vanishing points is very significant for us to analyze the precision of camera calibration. New methods for vanishing point detection and error estimation are presented, which can be illustrated as follows. Firstly, the line clustering, which parallel to object lines and correspond to the vanishing points, are detected based on RANSAC (Random Sample Consensus). Secondly, "condition adjustment with parameters" is utilized to estimate a nonlinear error equation. Thirdly, the error of vanishing point is expressed by error ellipse that is derived by co-factor matrix according to adjustment principle. Finally, experimental results of vanishing points coordinates and their errors are shown and analyzed.

Abstract: Line and plane feature can provide more information than point feature, thus 3D reconstruction based on high-level features, such as line and plane, is an important development trend in Digital Photogrammetry and Computer Vision. Several methods for extracting straight line are researched, and the main procedures can be introduced as follows. Firstly, image is preprocessed by Wallis filtering that is used to enhance the image contrast and reduce the noise, so it is easy to extract more lines. Secondly, Laplacian of Gaussian operator (LoG) and Canny operator algorithms are compared to locate the edge by detecting discontinuity variation in image. Thirdly, Hough transform or perceptual organization based on hypothesis testing are compared and tested for combining and fitting fractured short line segments into a whole line. Lastly, the least square template matching algorithm (LSTM) is done to get higher precise (sub-pixel) located lines. In the experiment, different algorithms for straight line extraction of aerial images are realized and compared, in order to faster achieve richer and higher accurate straight line information, which can pave the way of image understanding and image matching.

Abstract: The paper proposes a self-learning evolutionary multi-agent system for distribution network reconfiguration. The network reconfiguration is modeled as a multi-objective combinational optimization. An autonomous agent-entity cognizes the physical aspects as operational states of the local substation, the agent-entities establish relationship network based on the interactions to provide service. Multiple objectives are considered for load balancing among the feeders, minimum deviation of the nodes voltage, minimize the power loss and branch current constraint violation. These objectives are modeled with fuzzy sets to evaluate their imprecise nature and one can provide the anticipated value of each objective. The method completes the network reconfiguration based on the negotiation of autonomous agent-entities. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed method is effective in improving performance.

Abstract: With the development of microelectronics technology, Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) or multi-core design has become a mainstream choice for major microprocessor vendors. But in a chip-multiprocessor with a shared cache structure , the competing accesses from different applications degrade the system performance , resulting in non-optimal performance and non-predicting executing time. Cache partitioning techniques can exclusively partition the shared cache among multiple competing applications. In this paper, we first introduce the problems caused by Cache pollution in multicore processor structure; then present the different methods of Cache partitioning in multicore processor structure¬ －－categorizing them based on the different metrics. And finally, we discuss some possible directions for future research in the area.

This paper proposes the equipment integrated information acquisition system, the objective of which is to sense or collect the on-site information related with production operation in order to support managers’ decision-making or other application systems as basic data. The system architecture is constructed with five layer components. Furthermore, the two supporting technologies of the system are presented including the adapter definition in the adapter level and the establishment of template repository in the service level. Finally, the case study of the system is demonstrated by the application of acquiring production progress information in machining job shop.

Abstract: A new test generation method for the bridging faults in digital circuits is proposed in this paper, the method is based on shared binary decision diagram. The shared binary decision diagram can represent many logic functions simultaneously by sharing isomorphic subgraphs, it is used to represent the digital circuits with multiple primary outputs. The binary decision diagram is constructed respectively for the normal circuit and faulty circuit having a bridging fault. The test vectors of the bridging fault can be produced by a XOR operation of the two binary decision diagrams. The experimental results on a lot of benchmark circuits demonstrate that the test method proposed in this paper can get the test vectors of the bridging faults if the faults are testable.

Abstract: The increase in dense interconnect as well as the clock frequency of digital circuits has led to an increasing number of crosstalk faults. A new test approach for crosstalk faults in digital circuits is presented in this paper, the approach aims at the faults of crosstalk induced pulse, uses controllability and observability measures of the signal lines to produce the test vectors of crosstalk faults. Choose a lot of paths from the fault site to the primary outputs of circuit, and carry out forward tracing and backward tracing, until every signal line is assigned a logic value and no conflict arises. Experimental results on a lot of digital circuits show that the test approach proposed in this paper can generate the test vectors of crosstalk faults, and can obtain high fault coverage.

Abstract: The Anti-synchronization of chaotic systems with uncertainty by sliding mode control is studied. Using the principle of poles assignment method, the switching function is designed to guarantee Anti-synchronization of slide mode with nonlinearity terms. Using exponent hitting condition of sliding mode, a robust anti-synchronization controller is proposed. In contrast to the previous works, sliding mode of this controller is free from the influence of disturbance, and the system has both better robustness and quick tracking. Therefore the computation is simple and the conservation is smaller. Finally, Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
