Over the past fifty years the size of computer applications, as gauged by any reasonable measure, has increased exponentially. In contrast, our cognitive capabilities for understanding have not changed. This discrepancy has forced us to look for more abstract representations of systems to reduce the number of elements we have to consider simultaneously in order to understand the system behavior...

A decentralized model-based control strategy is designed to reduce low-frequency sound radiation from periodically stiffened panels. While decentralized control systems tend to be scalable, performance can be limited due to modeling error introduced by the unmodeled interaction between neighboring control units. Since bounds on modeling error are not known in advance, it is difficult to ensure ...

In broadband DS-CDMA uplink transmission using frequency-domain equalization (FDE) without cyclic prefix (CP) insertion, the transmission performance degrades due to inter block interference (IBI) and circular property loss. In this paper, IBI cancellation and circular property loss restoration is proposed and the performance improvement is evaluated by computer simulation. It is shown that ite...

This paper proposes a new decentralized data-driven load restoration (DDLR) scheme for transmission and distribution (TD) systems with high penetration of wind power. Robust DDLR models are constructed in order to handle uncertainties ensure the feasibility schemes. The Wasserstein metric is used describe ambiguity sets probability distributions build complete model realize computationally trac...

We have investigated decentralized active control of periodic panel vibration using multiple pairs combining PZT actuators and PVDF sensors distributed on the panel. By contrast with centralized MIMO controllers used to actively control the vibrations or the sound radiation of extended structures, decentralized control using independent local control loops only requires identification of the di...

Motion blur of image is caused by relative motion between camera and photographed object during protographing. Motion-blurred image restoration is an important part of the image restoration. Image restoration is the process of recovering original image from its degraded version. This paper focuses on image restoration blurred by uniform linear motion. Principle of image restoration technique is...

In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for Image Restoration. Such algorithm is different from the traditional approaches in this area, by utilizing priors that are learned from similar images. Original images and their degraded versions by the known degradation operators are utilized for designing the Quantization. The code vectors are designed using the blurred images. For each such vector, ...
