The stabilization of the inverted pendulum-cart system (IPCS) is a classical problem in the control engineering. The study of IPCS is motivated by its applications to the balancing of rocket boosters and bipedal robots. IPCS represents a class of nonlinear, under-actuated, and unstable system hard to be controlled in real-time. In this paper, a novel nonlinear time-frequency control (NTFC) strategy is applied to stabilize an inverted pendulum mounted on a cart. The proposed controller design is adaptive and employs discrete the wavelet transform and filtered-x least-mean-square (Fx-LMS) algorithm to realize the control in real-time. Using the wavelet transform, the adaptive controller is demonstrated to inhibit the deteriorations of the time and frequency responses simultaneously before the residual oscillation is too broadband to be controlled. The presented controller consists of two adaptive finite impulse response filers that operate on the wavelet coefficients: the first one realizes the online identification and provides a priori information in real-time while the second one realizes a feedforward control and rejects the uncontrollable input signal based on the first FIR filter. The equation of motion is derived based on the Newton’s Second law of motion and the model id simulated in MATLAB for verification. A number of commonly used control methods for the stabilization of the IPCS are investigated and evaluated against the proposed NTFC strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy is feasible for balancing the IPCS for a large, tilted initial angle within a short time interval and strongly robust to external impact and perturbation in real-time.

Although ionosphere-free (IF) combination is usually employed in long-range precise positioning, in order to employ the knowledge of the spatiotemporal ionospheric delays variations and avoid the difficulty in choosing the IF combinations in case of triple-frequency data processing, using uncombined observations with proper ionospheric constraints is more beneficial. Yet, determining the appropriate power spectral density (PSD) of ionospheric delays is one of the most important issues in the uncombined processing, as the empirical methods cannot consider the actual ionosphere activities. The ionospheric delays derived from actual dual-frequency phase observations contain not only the real-time ionospheric delays variations, but also the observation noise which could be much larger than ionospheric delays changes over a very short time interval, so that the statistics of the ionospheric delays cannot be retrieved properly. Fortunately, the ionospheric delays variations and the observation noise behave in different ways, i.e., can be represented by random-walk and white noise process, respectively, so that they can be separated statistically. In this paper, we proposed an approach to determine the PSD of ionospheric delays for each satellite in real-time by denoising the ionospheric delay observations. Based on the relationship between the PSD, observation noise and the ionospheric observations, several aspects impacting the PSD calculation are investigated numerically and the optimal values are suggested. The proposed approach with the suggested optimal parameters is applied to the processing of three long-range baselines of 103 km, 175 km and 200 km with triple-frequency BDS data in both static and kinematic mode. The improvement in the first ambiguity fixing time (FAFT), the positioning accuracy and the estimated ionospheric delays are analysed and compared with that using empirical PSD. The results show that the FAFT can be shortened by at least 8% compared with using a unique empirical PSD for all satellites although it is even fine-tuned according to the actual observations and improved by 34% compared with that using PSD derived from ionospheric delay observations without denoising. Finally, the positioning performance of BDS three-frequency observations shows that the averaged FAFT is 226 s and 270 s, and the positioning accuracies after ambiguity fixing are 1 cm, 1 cm and 3 cm in the East, North and Up directions for static and 3 cm, 3 cm and 6 cm for kinematic mode, respectively.

A new signal processing method for phase difference estimation was proposed based on time-varying signal model, whose frequency, amplitude and phase are time-varying. And then be applied Coriolis mass flowmeter signal. First, a bandpass filtering FIR filter was applied to filter the sensor output signal in order to improve SNR. Then, the signal frequency could be calculated based on short-time frequency estimation. Finally, by short window intercepting, the DTFT algorithm with negative frequency contribution was introduced to calculate the real-time phase difference between two enhanced signals. With the frequency and the phase difference obtained, the time interval of two signals was calculated. Simulation results show that the algorithms studied are efficient. Furthermore, the computation of algorithms studied is simple so that it can be applied to real-time signal processing for Coriolis mass flowmeter.

Harmonic contributions of utility and customer may feature significant variations due to network switchings and changing operational modes. In order to correctly define the impacts on the grid voltage distortion the frequency dependent impedance characteristic of the studied network should be accurately measured in the real-time mode. This condition can be fulfilled by designing a stimuli generator measuring the grid impedance as a response to injected interference and producing time-frequency plots of harmonic contributions during considered time interval. In this paper a prototype of a stimuli generator based on programmable voltage source inverter is developed and tested. The use of ternary pulse sequence allows fast wide-band impedance measurements that meet the requirements of real-time assessment of harmonic contributions. The accuracy of respective analysis involving impedance determination and calculation of harmonic contributions is validated experimentally using reference characteristics of laboratory test set-up with varying grid impedance.

The performance of wavelet transform-based features for the speech/music discrimination task has been investigated. In order to extract wavelet domain features, discrete and complex orthogonal wavelet transforms have been used. The performance of the proposed feature set has been compared with a feature set constructed from the most common time, frequency and cepstral domain features such as number of zero crossings, spectral centroid, spectral flux, and Mel cepstral coefficients. The artificial neural networks have been used as classification tool. The principal component analysis has been applied to eliminate the correlated features before the classification stage. For discrete wavelet transform, considering the number of vanishing moments and orthogonality, the best performance is obtained with Daubechies8 wavelet among the other members of the Daubechies family. The dual tree wavelet transform has also demonstrated a successful performance both in terms of accuracy and time consumption. Finally, a real-time discrimination system has been implemented using the Daubhecies8 wavelet which has the best accuracy.

As one of the important parts of modern mechanical equipment, the accurate real-time diagnosis of rolling bearing is particularly important. Traditional fault diagnosis methods have some disadvantages, such as low diagnostic accuracy and difficult fault feature extraction. In this paper, a method combining Wavelet transform (WT) and Deformable Convolutional Neural Network (D-CNN) is proposed to realize accurate real-time fault diagnosis of end-to-end rolling bearing. The vibration signal of rolling bearing is taken as the monitoring target. Firstly, the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm is used to remove the harmonic signal and retain the impact signal and noise. Secondly, the time-frequency map of the signal is obtained by time-frequency transform using Wavelet analysis. Finally, the D-CNN is used for feature extraction and classification. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the method can reach 99.9% under various fault modes, and it can accurately identify the fault of rolling bearing.

Queue length is an important index of the efficiency of urban transport system. The traditional approaches seem insufficient for the estimation of the queue length when the traffic state fluctuates greatly. In this paper, the problem is solved by introducing the Cell Transmission Model, a macroscopic traffic flow, to describe the vehicles aggregation and discharging process at a signalized intersection. To apply the model to urban traffic appropriately, some of its rules were improved accordingly. Besides, we can estimate the density of each cell of the road in a short time interval. We, first, identify the cell, where the tail of the queue is located. Then, we calculate the exact location of the rear of the queue. The models are evaluated by comparing the estimated maximum queue length and average queue length with the results of simulation calibrated by field data and testing of queue tail trajectories. The results show that the proposed model can estimate the maximum and average queue length, as well as the real-time queue length with satisfactory accuracy.

Distributed estimation of parameters in wireless sensor networks is taken into consideration to reduce the communication overhead of the network which makes the sensor system energy efficient. Most of the distributed approaches in literature, the sensor system is modeled with finite impulse response as it is inherently stable. Whereas in real time applications of WSN like target tracking, fast rerouting requires, infinite impulse response system (IIR) is used to model and that has been chosen in this work. It is assumed that every sensor node is equipped with IIR adaptive system. The diffusion least mean square (DLMS) algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of the IIR system where each node in the network cooperates themselves. In a sparse WSN, the performance of a DLMS algorithm reduces as the degree of the node decreases. In order to increase the estimation accuracy with a smaller number of iterations, the sensor node needs to share their information with more neighbors. This is feasible by communicating each node with multi-hop nodes instead of one-hop only. Therefore the parameters of an IIR system is estimated in distributed sparse sensor network using multihop diffusion LMS algorithm. The simulation results exhibit superior performance of the multihop diffusion LMS over non-cooperative and conventional diffusion algorithms.

This paper proposes a method of Speech recognition using Self Organizing Maps (SOM) and actuation through network in Matlab. The different words spoken by the user at client end are captured and filtered using Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm to remove the acoustic noise. FFT is taken for the filtered voice signal. The voice spectrum is recognized using trained SOM and appropriate label is sent to server PC. The client and the server communication are established using User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Microcontroller (AT89S52) is used to control the speed of the actuator depending upon the input it receives from the client. Real-time working of the prototype system has been verified with successful speech recognition, transmission, reception and actuation via network.

Abstract In this paper, a novel nonlinear time-frequency control methodology is presented to address the stabilization of an underactuated surface vessel (USV). The wavelet-domain based time-frequency control technique augmented by the adaptive filters and filtered-x least-mean-square algorithm is employed as the primary control framework. A nonlinear three degrees-of-freedom planar dynamic model for the USV with only two available control inputs is considered in the study. The equations of motion are derived based on the Newton’s Second law of motion. By using wavelet transform and filter banks, the proposed nonlinear control algorithm requires no mathematical simplification or linearization of the physical system, thus retaining all the true nonlinear dynamics of the USV model. The presented nonlinear controller consists of two adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filers that operate on wavelet coefficients: the first one is used to model the dynamic system on-line and provide a priori information in real-time while the second one serves as a feed-forward controller and rejects the uncontrollable input signal based on the first FIR filter. The proposed nonlinear time-frequency controller properly mitigates dynamical deterioration in both the time and frequency domains and regulates the system response with the desired stability. Numerical simulations are performed in MATLAB Simulink and the results validate the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear time-frequency control approach.
