Highlights► We generalized the Stacked Sequential Learning (SSL) meta-classifier. ► We highlighted the key role of the neighboring interaction modeling in SSL. ► We propose an effective way for capturing sequential correlations. ► he algorithm outperforms both SSL and CRF on two datasets. | | | 13. | Comparison of Stochastic Filtering Methods for 3D Tracking Original Research Article Pattern Recognition, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 13 April 2011 Yasir Salih, Aamir Saeed Malik
Highlights► We have surveyed research trends on 3D tracking in the past five years. ► We have discussed various applications of 3D tracking systems. ► We thoroughly discussed Kalman filters and particle filters implementations. ► Summary and comparison of published work on 3D tracking using stochastic filters. ► Quantitative and qualitative comparison of Kalman filters and particle filters. | | | 14. | Sliding mode speed auto-regulation technique for robotic tracking Original Research Article Robotics and Autonomous Systems, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 13 April 2011 Fabricio Garelli, Luis Gracia, Antonio Sala, Pedro Albertos
Highlights► We develop a tracking speed autoregulation to fulfill joint speed constraints.► We use sliding mode ideas.► No a-priori knowledge of the desired path is required.► The approach can be easily added as a supervisory block to preexisting schemes.► The implementation consists of a few lines of code. | | | 15. | A Creep-Immune Electrostatic Actuator for RF-MEMS Tunable Capacitor Original Research Article Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 13 April 2011 Etsuji Ogawa, Tamio Ikehashi, Tomohiro Saito, Hiroaki Yamazaki, Kei Masunishi, Yasushi Tomizawa, Tatsuya Ohguro, Yoshiaki Sugizaki, Yoshiaki Toyoshima, Hideki Shibata | | | 16. | Modeling and energy efficiency optimization of belt conveyors Original Research Article Applied Energy, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 12 April 2011 Shirong Zhang, Xiaohua Xia
Highlights► We take optimization approach to improve operation efficiency of belt conveyors. ► An analytical energy model, originating from ISO 5048, is proposed. ► Then an off-line and an on-line parameter estimation schemes are investigated. ► In a case study, six optimization problems are formulated with solutions in simulation. | | | 21. | Artificial neural network onto eight bit microcontroller for Secchi depth calculation Original Research Article Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 12 April 2011 Javier Ibáñez Civera, Eduardo Garcia-Breijo, Nicolás Laguarda-Miró, Luis Gil Sánchez, José Garrigues Baixauli, Inmaculada Romero Gil, Rafael Masot Peris, Miguel Alcañiz Fillol | | | 24. | On the characteristics of an electroless plated (EP)-based pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (PHEMT) Original Research Article Solid-State Electronics, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 12 April 2011 Chien-Chang Huang, Huey-Ing Chen, Shiou-Ying Cheng, Li-Yang Chen, Tsung-Han Tsai, Yi-Chun Liu, Tai-You Chen, Chi-Hsiang Hsu, Wen-Chau Liu
