Currently there exist two commonly used measurement fusion methods for Kalman-filter-based multisensor data fusion. The first (Method I) simply merges the through observation vector of Kalman filter, whereas second II) combines based on a minimum-mean-square-error criterion. This paper, an analysis fused state estimate covariances methods, shows that are functionally equivalent if sensors fusion, with different and independent noise characteristics, have identical matrices. Also presented...
Abstract Lithium–sulfur batteries are currently being explored as promising advanced energy storage systems due to the high theoretical specific capacity of sulfur. However, achieving a scalable synthesis for sulfur electrode material whilst maintaining volumetric density remains serious challenge. Here, continuous ball‐milling route is devised synthesizing multifunctional FeS 2 /FeS/S composites use tap electrodes. These demonstrate maximum reversible 1044.7 mAh g −1 and peak 2131.1 Ah L...
Many industrial processes contain both linear and nonlinear parts, kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), widely used in process monitoring, may not offer the most effective means for dealing with these processes. This paper proposes a new hybrid linear-nonlinear statistical modeling approach monitoring by closely integrating (PCA) KPCA using serial model structure, which we refer to as PCA (SPCA). Specifically, is first applied extract PCs features, decompose data into PC subspace...
The paper introduces an efficient construction algorithm for obtaining sparse linear-in-the-weights regression models based on approach of directly optimizing model generalization capability. This is achieved by utilizing the delete-1 cross validation concept and associated leave-one-out test error also known as predicted residual sums squares (PRESS) statistic, without resorting to any other data set evaluation in process. Computational efficiency ensured using orthogonal forward...
Many kernel classifier construction algorithms adopt classification accuracy as performance metrics in model evaluation. Moreover, equal weighting is often applied to each data sample parameter estimation. These modeling practices become problematic if the sets are imbalanced. We present a algorithm using orthogonal forward selection (OFS) order optimize generalization for imbalanced two-class sets. This identification based on new regularized weighted least squares (ROWLS) estimator and...
Deep neural network based reinforcement learning (RL) can learn appropriate visual representations for complex tasks like vision-based robotic grasping without the need manually engineering or prior a perception system. However, data RL is collected via running an agent in desired environment, and applications robotics, robot real world may be extremely costly time consuming. Simulated training offers appealing alternative, but ensuring that policies trained simulation transfer effectively...
In order to deeply exploit intrinsic data feature information hidden among the process data, an improved kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) method is proposed, which referred as deep (DePCA). Specifically, motivated by learning strategy, we design a hierarchical statistical model structure extract multilayer features, including both linear and nonlinear components. To reduce computation complexity in extraction, feature-samples' selection technique applied build sparse for DePCA....
A system for automatic gait recognition without segmentation of particular body parts is described. Eigenspace transformation (EST) has already proved useful several tasks including face recognition, analysis, etc; it optimal in dimensionality reduction by maximising the total scatter all classes but not class separability. statistical approach that combines EST with canonical space (CST) proposed using temporal templates from a sequence as features. This method can be used to reduce data...
