Fixture locators are used to precisely locate and stably support a workpiece so that the desired position and orientation (pose) of the workpiece relative to the cutting tool can be maintained during machining or inspection process. It is believed that manufacturing errors of locators and locating datum surfaces are key factors for the pose error between the workpiece and the cutting tool. Optimizing the layout of locators is helpful to reduce the pose error so as to improve machining accuracy of the workpiece. In order to minimize the pose error, we introduced, for the first time, a singular value decomposition (SVD) technique for the location matrix to derive error amplification factors (EAF) in six degrees-of-freedom of the workpiece. The EAF principle defines the maximal singular value, the condition number, the product of all singular values and the manipulability as the maximal error amplification factor, the relative error amplification factor, the error ellipsoid volume and the location stability, respectively. The four defined indices taken as objective functions are optimized, by a nondominated sort genetic algorithm (NSGA-II), so that an optimal layout of locators is obtained due to the minimization of the pose error. Also, the feasibility of the proposed method was comprehensively validated by simulation and machining experiments.

With a new type of multifingered hands that raise a new philosophy in the construction and study of a multifingered hand, this paper is a follow-on study of the kinematics of the metamorphic multifingered hand based on finger constraint equations. The finger constraint equations lead to a comprehensive mathematical model of the hand with a reconfigurable palm which integrates all finger motions with the additional palm motion. Singular values of the partitioned Jacobian matrix in their analytical form are derived and applied to obtaining analytical solution to inverse kinematics of a complete robotic hand. The paper for the first time solves this integrated motion and the multifingered hand model with the singular value decomposition and extra degrees of freedom are examined with the singular value analysis to avoid the singularities. The work identifies finger displacement and velocity with effect from the articulated palm and presents a new way of analyzing a multifingered robotic hand.

This paper investigates kinematics of the metamorphic multifingered robotic hand based on screw system analysis and singular value decomposition. The paper integrates the singular value decomposition with screw system and generates the reciprocity-based Jacobian matrices of a multifingered hand. This leads to the geometric constraint equation of the articulated palm as the typical feature of this robotic hand and to the kinematics characteristics equation of the hand. Symbolic singular values of the sub-matrices are derived and applied to obtaining analytical solution to inverse kinematics. The singular value decomposition helps identifying finger displacement and velocity with effect from the articulated palm and extra degrees of freedom are examined with the singular value analysis to avoid the singularities.

Singular value decomposition and information theoretic criterion-based image enhancement is proposed for through-wall imaging. The scheme is capable of discriminating target, clutter, and noise subspaces. Information theoretic criterion is used with conventional singular value decomposition to find number of target singular values. Furthermore, wavelet transform-based denoising is performed (to further suppress noise signals) by estimating noise variance. Proposed scheme works also for extracting multiple targets in heavy cluttered through-wall images. Simulation results are compared on the basis of mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio, and visual inspection.

The variational equations and the evolution matrix are introduced and used to discuss the stability of a bound Hamiltonian trajectory. Singular-value decomposition is applied to the evolution matrix. Singular values and Lyapunov exponents are defined and their properties described. The singular-value expansion of the phase-space velocity is derived. Singular values and Lyapunov exponents are used to characterize the stability behaviour of five simple systems, namely, the nonlinear oscillator with cubic anharmonicity, the quasi-periodic Mathieu equation, the Hénon-Heilesmodel, the 4+2 linear chain with cubic anharmonicity, and an integrable system of arbitrary order.PACS Nos.: 03.20, 05.20

This article introduces and evaluates the piecewise polynomial truncated singular value decomposition algorithm toward an effective use for moving force identification. Suffering from numerical non-uniqueness and noise disturbance, the moving force identification is known to be associated with ill-posedness. An important method for solving this problem is the truncated singular value decomposition algorithm, but the truncated small singular values removed by truncated singular value decomposition may contain some useful information. The piecewise polynomial truncated singular value decomposition algorithm extracts the useful responses from truncated small singular values and superposes it into the solution of truncated singular value decomposition, which can be useful in moving force identification. In this article, a comprehensive numerical simulation is set up to evaluate piecewise polynomial truncated singular value decomposition, and compare this technique against truncated singular value decomposition and singular value decomposition. Numerically simulated data are processed to validate the novel method, which show that regularization matrix [Formula: see text] and truncating point [Formula: see text] are the two most important governing factors affecting identification accuracy and ill-posedness immunity of piecewise polynomial truncated singular value decomposition.

I perform singular value decomposition (SVD) on the matrices that result in tomographic velocity estimation from cross‐well traveltimes in isotropic and anisotropic media. The slowness model is parameterized in four ways: One‐dimensional (1-D) isotropic, 1-D anisotropic, two‐dimensional (2-D) isotropic, and 2-D anisotropic. The singular value distribution is different for the different parameterizations. One‐dimensional isotropic models can be resolved well but the resolution of the data is poor. One‐dimensional anisotropic models can also be resolved well except for some variations in the vertical component of the slowness that are not sensitive to the data. In 2-D isotropic models, “pure” lateral variations are not sensitive to the data, and when anisotropy is introduced, the result is that the horizontal and vertical component of the slowness cannot be estimated with the same spatial resolution because the null space is mostly related to horizontal and high frequency variations in the vertical component of the slowness. Since the distribution of singular values varies depending on the parametrization used, the effect of conventional regularization procedures in the final solution may also vary. When the model is isotropic, regularization translates into smoothness, and when the model is anisotropic regularization not only smooths but may also alter the anisotropy in the solution.

This paper presents a new robust reference watermarking scheme based on wavelet packet transform (WPT) and bidiagonal singular value decomposition (bSVD) for copyright protection and authenticity. A small gray scale logo is used as watermark instead of randomly generated Gaussian noise type watermark. A reference watermark is generated by original watermark and the process of embedding is done in wavelet packet domain by modifying the bidiagonal singular values. For the robustness and imperceptibly, watermark is embedded in the selected sub-bands, which are selected by taking into account the variance of the sub-bands, which serves as a measure of the watermark magnitude that could be imperceptibly embedded in each block. For this purpose, the variance is calculated in a small moving square window of size Sp× Sp(typically 3 × 3 or 5 × 5 window) centered at the pixel. A reliable watermark extraction is developed, in which the watermark bidiagonal singular values are extracted by considering the distortion caused by the attacks in neighboring bidiagonal singular values. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed scheme is able to withstand a variety of attacks and the superiority of the proposed method is carried out by the comparison which is made by us with the existing methods.

A novel fault diagnosis method, named CPS, is proposed based on the combination of CEEMDAN (complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise), PSM (periodic segment matrix), and SVD (singular value decomposition). Firstly, the collected vibration signals are decomposed into a set of IMFs using CEEMDAN. Secondly, the PSM of the selected IMFs is constructed. Thirdly, singular values are obtained by SVD conducted on the space of PSM. Fourthly, the impulse components are enhanced by the singular value reconstruction with the first maximal singular value. Finally, the squared envelope spectra of the reconstructed signals are used to diagnose the wheelset bearing faults. The effectiveness of the proposed CPS has been verified by simulations and experiments. Compared to the well-known Hankel-based SVD, the proposed CPS performs better at extracting the weak periodic impulse responses from the measured signals with strong noise and interferences.

The traffic accidents occurrence urges the intervention of researchers and society; the human losses and material damage could be abated with scientific studies focused on supporting prevention plans. In this paper prediction strategies based on singular values and autoregressive models are evaluated for multistep ahead traffic accidents forecasting. Three time series of injured people in traffic accidents collected in Santiago de Chile from 2000:1 to 2014:12 were used, which were previously classified by causes related to the behavior of drivers, passengers, or pedestrians and causes not related to the behavior as road deficiencies, mechanical failures, and undetermined causes. A simplified form of Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA), combined with the autoregressive linear (AR) method, and a conventional Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are proposed. Additionally, equivalent models that combine Hankel Singular Value Decomposition (HSVD), AR, and ANN are evaluated. The comparative analysis shows that the hybrid models SSA-AR and SSA-ANN reach the highest accuracy with an averageMAPEof 1.5% and 1.9%, respectively, from 1- to 14-step ahead prediction. However, it was discovered that HSVD-AR shows a higher accuracy in the farthest horizons, from 12- to 14-step ahead prediction, which reaches an averageMAPEof 2.2%.
