Robust Time-to-Contact Calculation for Real Time Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robust time-to-contact calculation belongs to the most desirable techniques in the field of autonomous robot navigation. Using only image measurements it provides a method to determine when contact with a visible object will be made. However the computation of the time-tocontact values is very sensitive to noisy measurements of feature positions in a image. Instead of developing a new feature extraction and tracking algorithm this paper presents an approach which deals with the inaccurate measurements. It is based on the here derived equations which describe the process how a feature diverges from the focus of expansion. The results presented testify the stability and the robustness of this approach.

Robust Opponent Modeling in Real-Time Strategy Games using Bayesian Networks
Opponent modeling is a key challenge in Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games as the environment is adversarial in these games, and the player cannot predict the future actions of her opponent. Additionally, the environment is partially observable due to the fog of war. In this paper, we propose an opponent model which is robust to the observation noise existing due to the fog of war. In order to cope...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

State estimation is the foundation of any control and decision making in power networks. The first requirement for a secure network is a precise and safe state estimator in order to make decisions based on accurate knowledge of the network status. This paper introduces a new estimator which is able to detect bad data with few calculations without need for repetitions and estimation residual cal...
متن کاملModification of Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy for a Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) is one of the main real-time control strategies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This paper proposes a method to modify this strategy. This modification reduces calculation time of ECMS and therefore, facilitates its application as the real-time controller. Dynamic programming (DP) method is employed to reach this aim. This method is appli...
