  • In this letter, we introduce confusion-based confidence measures for detecting an impostor in speaker recognition, which does not require an alternative hypothesis. Most traditional speaker verification methods are based on a hypothesis test, and their performance depends on the robustness of an alternative hypothesis. Compared with the conventional Gaussian mixture model-universal background model (GMM-UBM) scheme, our confusion-based measures show better performance in noise-corrupted speech. The additional computational requirements for our methods are negligible when used to detect or reject impostors.

  • Linear LQG controller has been investigated to control flexible link manipulators. The performance and complexity of these depend largely on the model upon which the controller is designed. In this study, the flexible modes of the link manipulator are considered to have uncertain parameters, which can be represented by random variable and these parameters are reflected on the weighting of performance. In this method, the exact modelling for the flexible modes is not necessary. The order of the resulting controller is much lower than the one based on a full model. Through numerical study, it is shown that the performance and the stability-robustness of the proposed controller reaches reasonably the one based on the full model.

  • Experimental studies on the adaptive vibration control of composite beams have been performed using a piezoelectric actuator and the neuro-controller. The variations in natural frequencies of the specimen and the actuation characteristics of the piezoelectric actuator according to the delamination in the bonding layer have been studied. In addition, the simulation of adaptive vibration control has been performed for the composite specimens with delaminated piezoelectric actuator using neuro-controller. The hardware for the adaptive vibration control experiment was prepared. A DSP(digital signal processor) has been used as a digital controller. Using neuro-controller, the adaptive vibration control experiment has been performed. The vibration control results using the neuro-controller show that the present neuro-controller has good performance and robustness with the system parameter variations.

  • Image scrambling is an important technology in information hiding, where the Arnold transformation is widely used. Several researchers have proposed the application of $H{\acute{e}}non$ map in square image scrambling, and certain improved technologies require scrambling many times to achieve a good effect without resisting chosen-plaintext attack although it can be directly applied to non-square images. This paper presents a non-square image scrambling algorithm, which can resist chosen-plaintext attack based on a chaotic two-dimensional Sine Logistic modulation map and $H{\acute{e}}non$ map (2D-SLHM). Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has advantages in terms of key space, efficiency, scrambling degree, ability of anti-attack and robustness to noise interference.

  • A novel steepest descent adaptive filter algorithm, which uses the instantaneous stochastic gradient for the steepest descent direction, is derived from a newly devised performance index function. The performance function for the new algorithm is improved from that for the LMS in consideration that the stochastic steepest descent method is utilized to minimize the performance index iterativly. Through mathematical analysis and computer simulations, it is verified that there are substantial improvements in convergence and misadjustments even though the computational simplicity and the robustness of the LMS algorithm are hardly sacrificed. On the other hand, the new algorithm can be interpreted as a variable step size adaptive filter, and in this respect a heuristic method is proposed in order to reduce the noise caused by the step size fluctuation.

  • Fountain codes ensure reliability and robustness for time varying channels in wireless communication. In this paper, the concatenated fountain codes for AWGN and slow fading channels are investigated. Wireless system model, which includes the concatenated fountain code and modulation, is proposed. Maximum achievable rate is used for analyzing the performance of the system model for AWGN and fading channels. Belief Propagation (BP) algorithm is used for exploiting the soft information received at the decoder. Simulation results show that, concatenated fountain codes performs significantly better than that of a conventional Fountain codes with large packet lengths for higher Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) in slow fading channels.

  • This paper presents a pseudo-sensor-output-feedback(PSOF) method for the vibration suppression of the flexible piezoelectric smart structures. This method reduces the modeling errors using pseudo sensors in the output equation formulation. It also reduces computation time in practice. since the output equation does not need the state observer required in the state space equation. Experimental works are performed for the validation of theoretical predictions with the piezoelectric sensor and actuator bonded on the cantilever beam. An algorithm based on the sliding mode control theory is developed and analyzed for the robustness to the modeling errors and parameter uncertainties. This study also discusses the characteristics of the active and semi-active systems.

  • An active omni-directional raging system using an omni-directional vision with structured light has many advantages compared to the conventional ranging systems: robustness against external illumination noise because of the laser structured light and computational efficiency because of one shot image containing $360^{\circ}$ environment information from the omni-directional vision. The omni-directional range data represents a local distance map at a certain position in the workspace. In this paper, we propose a matching algorithm for the local distance map with the given global map database, thereby to localize a mobile robot in the global workspace. Since the global map database consists of line segments representing edges of environment object in general, the matching algorithm is based on relative position and orientation of line segments in the local map and the global map. The effectiveness of the proposed omni-directional ranging system and the matching are verified through experiments.

  • The Data Matrix of two-dimensional bar codes is a new technology capable of holding relatively large amounts of data compared to the conventional one-dimensional bar code which is just a key that can access detailed information to the host computer database. A secret key is used to prevent a watermark from malicious attacks. We encoded copyright information into a Data Matrix bar code for encoding process and it was spread a pseudo random pattern using owner key. We embedded a randomized watermark into the image using watermark's embedding position, pattern generated with a secret key. The experimental results have shown that the proposed scheme has good quality and is very robust to various attacks, such as JPEG compression and noise. Also the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by comparing the copyright information with the information which is extracted from a bar code scantier.
