Abstract: In this paper, by employing a new Lyapunov functional
and an elementary inequality analysis technique, some sufficient
conditions are derived to ensure the existence and uniqueness of
periodic oscillatory solution for fuzzy bi-directional memory (BAM)
neural networks with time-varying delays, and all other solutions of
the fuzzy BAM neural networks converge the uniqueness periodic
solution. These criteria are presented in terms of system parameters
and have important leading significance in the design and applications
of neural networks. Moreover an example is given to illustrate the
effectiveness and feasible of results obtained.
Abstract: The standard approach to image reconstruction is to stabilize the problem by including an edge-preserving roughness penalty in addition to faithfulness to the data. However, this methodology produces noisy object boundaries and creates a staircase effect. The existing attempts to favor the formation of smooth contour lines take the edge field explicitly into account; they either are computationally expensive or produce disappointing results. In this paper, we propose to incorporate the smoothness of the edge field in an implicit way by means of an additional penalty term defined in the wavelet domain. We also derive an efficient half-quadratic algorithm to solve the resulting optimization problem, including the case when the data fidelity term is non-quadratic and the cost function is nonconvex. Numerical experiments show that our technique preserves edge sharpness while smoothing contour lines; it produces visually pleasing reconstructions which are quantitatively better than those obtained without wavelet-domain constraints.
Abstract: Recent research result has shown that two multidelay
feedback systems can synchronize each other under different
schemes, i.e. lag, projective-lag, anticipating, or projectiveanticipating
synchronization. There, the driving signal is significantly
complex due that it is constituted by multiple nonlinear transformations
of delayed state variable. In this paper, a secure communication
model is proposed based on synchronization of coupled multidelay
feedback systems, in which the plain signal is mixed with a complex
signal at the transmitter side and it is precisely retrieved at the receiver
side. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated and
verified in the specific example, where the message signal is masked
directly by the complex signal and security is examined under the
breaking method of power spectrum analysis.
Abstract: In this paper, we study the existence, the boundedness and the asymptotic behavior of the positive solutions of a fuzzy nonlinear difference equations xn+1 = A + k i=0 Bi xn-i , n= 0, 1, · · · . where (xn) is a sequence of positive fuzzy numbers, A,Bi and the initial values x-k, x-k+1, · · · , x0 are positive fuzzy numbers. k ∈ {0, 1, 2, · · ·}.
Abstract: In this paper we present a new method for over-height
vehicle detection in low headroom streets and highways using digital
video possessing. The accuracy and the lower price comparing to
present detectors like laser radars and the capability of providing
extra information like speed and height measurement make this
method more reliable and efficient. In this algorithm the features are
selected and tracked using KLT algorithm. A blob extraction
algorithm is also applied using background estimation and
subtraction. Then the world coordinates of features that are inside the
blobs are estimated using a noble calibration method. As, the heights
of the features are calculated, we apply a threshold to select overheight
features and eliminate others. The over-height features are
segmented using some association criteria and grouped using an
undirected graph. Then they are tracked through sequential frames.
The obtained groups refer to over-height vehicles in a scene.
Abstract: Solutions for the temperature profile around a moving
heat source are obtained using both analytic and finite element
(FEM) methods. Analytic and FEM solutions are applied to study the
temperature profile in welding. A moving heat source is represented
using both point heat source and uniform distributed disc heat source
models. Analytic solutions are obtained by solving the partial
differential equation for energy conservation in a solid, and FEM
results are provided by simulating welding using the ANSYS
software. Comparison is made for quasi steady state conditions. The
results provided by the analytic solutions are in good agreement with
results obtained by FEM.
Abstract: In this paper, an adaptive radio resource allocation
(RRA) algorithm applying to multiple traffic OFDMA system is
proposed, which distributes sub-carrier and loading bits among users
according to their different QoS requirements and traffic class. By
classifying and prioritizing the users based on their traffic
characteristic and ensuring resource for higher priority users, the
scheme decreases tremendously the outage probability of the users
requiring a real time transmission without impact on the spectrum
efficiency of system, as well as the outage probability of data users is
not increased compared with the RRA methods published.
