In this thesis, a self-tuning control method based on Variable Structure System technique for tracking control of Direct-Drive motor is presented. The self-tuning control could not make the tracking error zero in the transient period. This tracking error may be due to disturbances or the error in parameter identification. To overcome this problem, a self-tuning control method based on discrete time VSS technique is presented. The STC based on VSS technique gives good tracking performance of the reference signal in the transient period. The proposed controller is robust to parameter errors and disturbances. The performance of the proposed controller is compared with that of simple STC through digital computer simulation.

In this paper, a object detection and tracking algorithm is presented which exhibits robust properties for image sequences with complex background. The proposed algorithm is composed of three parts: moving object detection, object tracking, and motion analysis. The moving object detection algorithm is implemented using a temporal median background method which is suitable for real-time applications. In the motion analysis, we propose a new technique for removing a temporal clutter, such as a swaying plant or a light reflection of a background object. In addition, we design a multiple vehicle tracking system based on Kalman filtering. Computer simulation of the proposed scheme shows its robustness for MPEG-7 test image sequences.

Visual object tracking is one of the key tasks in computer vision. Robust trackers should address challenging issues such as fast motion, deformation, occlusion and so on. In this paper, we therefore propose a visual object tracking method that exploits inter-frame correlations of convolutional feature maps in Convolutional Neural Net (ConvNet). The proposed method predicts the location of a target by considering inter-frame spatial correlation between target location proposals in the present frame and its location in the previous frame. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art work especially in hard-to-track sequences.

To get the robust and reliable input command, we designed shaping function for target tracking system with commander's handle. Input signals of the commander's handle are generated by human operator. It is response of the human to reduce the error between target and gun. But, tracking error while operator aim a moving target manually gives poor system performance. Input noise, particularly, affects hit accuracy as the system performance. We proposed the design method of input command shaping to reduce the Input noise and to improve the operation ability and convenience. We performed the experiments with combat vehicle, example of Target Tracking System, to show the proposed method is efficient and practical.

In real system application, the IMM-based position tracking algorithm requires robust performance, less computing resources and easy design procedure with respect to the uncertain target maneuvering, To solve these problems, an adaptive fuzzy interacting multiple model (AFIMM) algorithm, which is based on the well-defined basis sub-models and well-adjusted mode transition probabilities (MTPs), is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively solves the problems in the real system application of the IMM-based position tracking algorithm.

Despite the fact that the deployment of sensor networks and target tracking could both be managed by taking full advantage of Voronoi diagrams, very little few have been made in this regard. In this paper, we designed an optimized barrier coverage and an energy-efficient clustering algorithm for forming Vonoroi-based Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) in which we proposed a mobile target tracking scheme (CTT&MAV) that takes full advantage of Voronoi-diagram boundary to improve detectability. Simulations verified that CTT&MAV outperforms random walk, random waypoint, random direction and Gauss-Markov in terms of both the average hop distance that the mobile target moved before being detected and lower sensor death rate. Moreover, we demonstrate that our results are robust as realistic sensing models and also validate our observations through extensive simulations.

This paper offers two Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) systems for Photovoltaic (PV) applications. The first MPPT method is based on a fixed frequency Model Predictive Control (MPC). The second MPPT technique is based on the Predictive Hysteresis Control (PHC). An experimental demonstration shows that the proposed techniques are fast, accurate and robust in tracking the maximum power under different environmental conditions. A DC/DC converter with a high voltage gain is obligatory to track PV applications at the maximum power and to boost a low voltage to a higher voltage level. For this purpose, a high gain Switched Inductor Quadratic Boost Converter (SIQBC) for PV applications is presented in this paper. The proposed converter has a higher gain than the other transformerless topologies in the literature. It is shown that at a high gain the proposed SIQBC has moderate efficiency.

Object tracking is a common vision task to detect and trace objects between consecutive frames. It is also important for a variety of applications such as surveillance, video based traffic monitoring system, and so on. An efficient moving vehicle clustering and tracking algorithm suitable for traffic monitoring system is proposed in this paper. First, automatic background extraction method is used to get a reliable background as a reference. The moving blob(object) is then separated from the background by mean shift method. Second, the scale invariant feature based method extracts the salient features from the clustered foreground blob. It is robust to change the illumination, scale, and affine shape. The simulation results on various road situations demonstrate good performance achieved by proposed method.

Accurate detection, tracking and analysis of human movement using robots and other visual surveillance systems is still a challenge. Efforts are on to make the system robust against constraints such as variation in shape, size, pose and occlusion. Traditional methods of detection used the sliding window approach which involved scanning of various sizes of windows across an image. This paper concentrates on employing a state-of-the-art, hierarchical graph based method for segmentation. It has two stages: part level segmentation for color-consistent segments and object level segmentation for category-consistent regions. The tracking phase is achieved by employing SIFT keypoint descriptor based technique in a combined matching and tracking scheme with validation phase. Localization of human region in each frame is performed by keypoints by casting votes for the center of the human detected region. As it is difficult to avoid incorrect keypoints, a consensus-based framework is used to detect voting behavior. The designed methodology is tested on the video sequences having 3 to 4 persons.

Asymptotic tracking of a non-minimum phase nonlinear system has been a popular topic in control theory and application. In this paper, we propose a new control scheme to achieve asymptotic output tracking in anon-minimum phase nonlinear system for periodic trajectories through an iterative learning control with the stable inversion. The proposed design method is robust to parameter uncertainties and periodic external disturbances since it is based on iterative learning. The performance of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated through the simulation results using a typical non-minimum nonlinear system of an inverted pendulum on a cart.
