In this note, the presence of impulsive responses in descriptor systems and how it relates to impulse controllability and impulse observability is considered. It is shown that the equivalence between impulse controllability (observability) and the existence of an impulse eliminating semistate feedback (output injection) gain, although true for square descriptor systems, does not hold for rectan...

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient spectral conditions for various notions of strict positive realness for single input single output, impulse free Descriptor Systems. These conditions only require calculation of eigenvalues of a single matrix. A characterization of a KYP-like lemma for descriptor systems is also derived, and its implications for the stability of a class of switched...

In this paper, it is proposed to improve Daisy Descriptor based face recognition using a novel One-Bit Transform (1BT) based pre-registration approach. The 1BT based preregistration procedure is fast and has low computational complexity. It is shown that the face recognition accuracy is improved with the proposed approach. The proposed approach can facilitate highly accurate face recognition us...

This paper deals with a state feedback H∞ control problem for linear time-invariant discrete-time descriptor systems with norm-bounded parametric uncertainties. To this end, bounded real lemma (BRL) is extended on the class of uncertain descriptor systems. The control design procedure based on the conditions of BRL for uncertain descriptor systems is proposed. Numerical example is included to i...

In this report, we propose a wavelet-based content descriptor with which we implement an image retrieval system. Initially, we propose the wavelet-based weighted standard deviation texture descriptor. We then show how to extend this descriptor to characterize both texture and color in images. Thus, we obtain a compact feature vector that characterizes images in terms of both texture and color. ...

This paper focus on the study of the motion activity descriptor for shot boundary detection in video sequences. We interest in the validation of this descriptor in the aim of its real time implementation with reasonable high performances in shot boundary detection. The motion activity information is extracted in uncompressed domain based on adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS) algorithm. In this...

In this paper we introduce a general descriptor-type LFT representation of rational parametric matrices. This generalized representation allows to represent arbitrary rationally dependent multivariate functions in LFT-form. As applications, we develop explicit LFT realizations of the transfer-function matrix of a linear descriptor system whose state space matrices depend rationally on a set of ...

Scene classification is the task of determining the scene type in which a photograph was taken. In this paper we present a novel local descriptor suited for such a task: Oriented Texture Curves (OTC). Our descriptor captures the texture of a patch along multiple orientations, while maintaining robustness to illumination changes, geometric distortions and local contrast differences. We show that...

Linear periodic descriptor systems represent a broad class of time evolutionary processes in micro-electronics and circuit simulation. In this paper, we consider discrete-time linear periodic descriptor systems and study the concepts of periodic reachability and observability Gramians. We also discuss a lifted representation of periodic descriptor systems and propose a balanced truncation model...
