This paper proposes a principle of one-to-one correspondence in performance evaluation of a general class of detection and recognition algorithms. Such a correspondence between ground-truth entities and algorithm declared entities is essential in accurately computing objective performance measures such as the detection, recognition, and false alarm rates. We mathematically de ne the corresponde...

We present a new bio-inspired control strategy for an autonomous underwater vehicle by constructing coupled nonlinear oscillators, similar to the animal central pattern generators (CPGs). Using contraction theory, we show that the network of oscillators globally converges to a specific pattern of oscillation. We experimentally validate the proposed control law using a turtle-like underwater veh...

Various factors affect the degree of mass crime of an environment, including social, economic, and physical factors. The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of the physical components of an environment on mass crime rate. In this regard, open spaces between residential complexes were selected as the case studies and based on five outdoor patterns including linear pattern, disper...
