In this paper the problems of state estimation, tracking control and shape control in a micro-cantilever beam with nonlinear electrostatic actuation are investigated. The system’s partial differential equation of motion is converted into a set of ordinary differential equations by projection method. Observabillity of the system is proven and a state estimation system is designed using extended ...

In this paper, we propose an effective feature extraction algorithm, called Multi-Subregion based Correlation Filter Bank (MS-CFB), for robust face recognition. MS-CFB combines the benefits of global-based and local-based feature extraction algorithms, where multiple correlation filters corresponding to different face subregions are jointly designed to optimize the overall correlation outputs. ...

Abstract-Two-dimensional (2D) adaptive filtering is a technique which is applicable to many image, and signal processing applications. This paper extends one-dimensional adaptive filter algorithms to their corresponding 2D counterparts. Based on this extension, a 2D selective partial update APA (2D-SPU-APA) and 2D partial rank affine projection (2D-PRA) are presented. Then, by the combination o...

An efficient realization of a low delay filter−bank will be proposed, which can be regarded as a filter−bank used as equalizer with either fixed or time−varying spectral gain factors. The proposed filter−bank equalizer (FBE) results in a time−domain filter whose coefficients are adapted in the (short−term) spectral−domain. Perfect signal reconstruction is obtained for a broad class of spectral ...

In this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. Currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twomechanisms s...

Visual tracking of articulated motion is a complex task with high computational costs. Because of the fact that articulated objects are usually represented as a set of linked limbs, tracking is performed with the support of a model. Model-based tracking allows determining object pose in an effortless way and handling occlusions. However, the use of articulated models generates a multidimensiona...
