Due to unavoidable uncertainties related to material properties and manufacturing processes, the robustness of the optimal solution must be considered when designing electromagnetic devices. In this paper, the worst-case optimisation (WCO) and the worst-vertex-basedWCO are proposed to evaluate the robustness of both performance and constraints under uncertainty. To reduce computing times when s...

In this paper, we present a general event detection system evaluated by the Surveillance Event Detection (SED) task of TRECVID 2012 campaign. The proposed system is evaluated on all the seven event categories of the SED task. In our system, a sliding temporal window is employed as the detection unit, which is represented by a histogram of spatio-temporal features including STIP-HOG/HOF and SURF...

This paper deals with robust design in preliminary design. The proposed robust optimization approach is developed for analytical design models coming from the FEM/RSM or from approximation of physical laws. Moreover, it considers variability on design parameters. Towards a global robust and deterministic optimization we propose to implement a robust analysis method to get the links between vari...

Slip ratio control of a ground vehicle is an important concern for the development of antilock braking system (ABS) to avoid skidding when there is a transition of road surfaces. In the past, the slip ratio models of such vehicles were derived to implement ABS. It is found that the dynamics of the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is nonlinear, time varying and uncertain as the tire-road dynamics i...

This paper demonstrates an enhancement of power quality in grid integrated systems with the help of the proposed control strategy for voltage source converter based active power filters. The Shunt Active Power filters (SAPF) are extensively utilized in modern grid integrated systems to diminish the power quality concerns associated with it. The SAPF is one of the various power filters, which ha...
