Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...

This paper proposes a nonlinear adaptive position and attitude tracking controller for satellite proximity operations between a target and a chaser satellite. The controller requires no information about the mass and inertia matrix of the chaser satellite, and takes into account the gravitational acceleration, the gravity-gradient torque, the perturbing acceleration due to Earth’s oblateness, a...

We present an approach for tracking water courses in satellite images, a general strategy for tracking and recognising features in computer vision tasks on satellite images. Our approach is related to recent work in automatic image interpretation and urban scene analysis. We report a method for image recognition from multi-spectral SPOT satellite imagery, based on the different response of wate...

Tracking and monitoring ocean features which have short coherent time periods from sequential satellite images requires that the images have both very high spatial resolutions and short temporal sampling intervals (i.e., repeated cycles). Satellite images from a single sensor in a polar-orbiting satellite usually cannot meet these requirements since high spatial resolution of the sensor may res...

Currently, analog signal deformation is described using individual-chip step response curves for each GPS/WAAS-GEO satellite. Such a set of curves is helpful – it allows us to have an overall idea of the distortions for all satellites as well as identify possibly anomalous satellite signals. However, the step response curves do not convey the severity of the distortions to the user in a metric ...

Which repair strategy does the language system deploy when it gets garden-pathed, and what can regressive eye movements in reading tell us about reanalysis strategies? Several influential eye-tracking studies on syntactic reanalysis (Frazier & Rayner, 1982; Meseguer, Carreiras, & Clifton, 2002; Mitchell, Shen, Green, & Hodgson, 2008) have addressed this question by examining scanpaths, i.e., se...
