Abstract Trajectory tracking control can be considered as one of the main researches of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). The bio-inspired neurodynamics model was used to make the output continuous and smooth for the inflection points to deal with the speed jump of the conventional tracking controller for discrete trajectories. A horizon-plane trajectory tracking control law is designed using the bio-inspired neurodynamics model and sliding-mode method without chattering. Finally, the simulation of the mentioned two methods is compared with the results showing this as effective and feasible. More >

Abstract About 10–20% of every country’s population is disable. There are at least 650 million people with a kind of disability worldwide. Assistance and support are perquisites for many handicap people for participating in society. Electric powered wheelchairs provide efficient mobility to motor impaired persons. In this paper a smart controller of a wheel chair mobile robot using Particle Swarm Optimization Proportional controller (PSO-P) was proposed where (PSO) algorithm was utilized to tune the proportional controller’s gains for each axis. Aiming to improve wheelchair tracking trajectory, a kinematic model of a robot with linear and angular velocities parameters was developed. The… More >

Abstract Aiming at the problem that the trajectory tracking performance of redundant manipulator corresponding to the target position is difficult to optimize, the trajectory tracking method of redundant manipulator based on PSO algorithm optimization is studied. The kinematic diagram of redundant manipulator is created, to derive the equation of motion trajectory of redundant manipulator end. Pseudo inverse Jacobi matrix is used to solve the problem of manipulator redundancy. Based on the tracking ellipse of redundant manipulator, the tracking shape of redundant manipulator is determined with the overall tracking index as the second index, and the optimization method of tracking index is… More >

Abstract The shooting state during shooting refers to the basketball’s shooting speed, shooting angle and the ball’s rotation speed. The basketball flight path is also related to these factors. In this paper, based on the three forces of Gravity, Air Resistance and Magnus Force, the “Three Forces” model is established, the Kinetic equations are derived, the basketball flight trajectory is solved by simulation, and the best shot state when shooting is obtained through the shooting percentage. Compared with the “Single Force” model that only considers Gravity, the shooting percentage of the “Three Forces” model is higher. The reason is that the… More >

Abstract In recent years, mobile Internet technology and location based services have wide application. Application providers and users have accumulated huge amount of trajectory data. While publishing and analyzing user trajectory data have brought great convenience for people, the disclosure risks of user privacy caused by the trajectory data publishing are also becoming more and more prominent. Traditional k-anonymous trajectory data publishing technologies cannot effectively protect user privacy against attackers with strong background knowledge. For privacy preserving trajectory data publishing, we propose a differential privacy based (k-Ψ)-anonymity method to defend against re-identification and probabilistic inference attack. The proposed method is divided… More >

Abstract Aiming at the yaw problem caused by inertial navigation system errors accumulation during the navigation of an intelligent aircraft, a three-dimensional trajectory planning method based on the particle swarm optimization-A star (PSO-A*) algorithm is designed. Firstly, an environment model for aircraft error correction is established, and the trajectory is discretized to calculate the positioning error. Next, the positioning error is corrected at many preset trajectory points. The shortest trajectory and the fewest correction times are regarded as optimization goals to improve the heuristic function of A star (A*) algorithm. Finally, the index weights are continuously optimized by the particle swarm… More >

Abstract Road network extraction is vital to both vehicle navigation and road planning. Existing approaches focus on mining urban trunk roads from GPS trajectories of floating cars. However, path extraction, which plays an important role in earthquake relief and village tour, is always ignored. Addressing this issue, we propose a novel approach of extracting campus’ road network from walking GPS trajectories. It consists of data preprocessing and road centerline generation. The patrolling GPS trajectories, collected at Hunan University of Science and Technology, were used as the experimental data. The experimental evaluation results show that our approach is able to effectively and… More >

Abstract The rapid expansion of GPS-embedded devices has showed the emerging new look of location-based services, enabling such offerings as travel guide services and location-based social networks. One consequence is the accumulation of a rich supply of GPS trajectories, indicating individuals’ historical position. Based on these data, we aim to mine the hot route by using a collaborative tensor calculation method. We present an efficient trajectory data processing model for mining the hot route. In this paper, we rst model the individual’s trajectory log, extract sources and destinations, use map matching to get the corresponding road segments, and nally apply the… More >

Abstract Cruising route recommendation based on trajectory mining can improve taxidrivers' income and reduce energy consumption. However, existing methods mostly recommend pick-up points for taxis only. Moreover, their performance is not good enough since there lacks a good evaluation model for the pick-up points. Therefore, we propose an entropy-based model for recommendation of taxis' cruising route. Firstly, we select more positional attributes from historical pick-up points in order to obtain accurate spatial-temporal features. Secondly, the information entropy of spatial-temporal features is integrated in the evaluation model. Then it is applied for getting the next pick-up points and further recommending a series… More >

Abstract Background: Children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) have risk for mortality and/or transplantation. Previous studies have associated right ventricular (RV) indices in a single echocardiogram with survival, but none have related serial measurements to outcomes. This study sought to determine whether the trajectory of RV indices in the first year of life was associated with transplant‐free survival to stage 3 palliation (S3P).
Methods: HLHS patients at a single center who underwent stage 1 palliation (S1P) between 2000 and 2015 were reviewed. Echocardiographic indices of RV size and function were obtained before and following S1P and stage 2 palliation (S2P).… More >
