Network researchers have dedicated a notable part of their efforts to the area of modeling traffic and in particular to the definition of rigorous statistical models. We feel that there is a strong demand for traffic generators capable to reproduce realistic application traffic according to theoretical models. Indeed, nowadays the trend is changing and network researchers are melting together n...

A new method is proposed to check the detectability for a class of rectangular linear time invariant descriptor systems. The method is based on the properties of restricted system equivalent, derived here from a given descriptor system by means of simple matrix theory. Equivalence between the detectability of a given descriptor system and that of a normal system is established. The proposed res...

The description of the object shape is an important characteristic of the image. In image processing and pattern recognition, several different shape descriptors are used. In human visual perception, the shapes are processed in multiple resolutions. Therefore multiscale shape representation is essential in the shape based image classification and retrieval. In the description of the object shap...

In this paper we propose a new descriptor for birds search. First, our work was carried on the choice of a descriptor. This choice is usually driven by the application requirements such as robustness to noise, stability with respect to bias, the invariance to geometrical transformations or tolerance to occlusions. In this context, we introduce a descriptor which combines the shape and color des...

Classifying color textures under varying illumination sources remains challenging. To address this issue, this paper introduces a new descriptor for color texture classification, which is robust to changes in the scene illumination. The proposed descriptor, named Color Intensity Local Mapped Pattern (CILMP), incorporates relevant information about the color and texture patterns from the image i...

Switched descriptor systems characterized by a repetitive finite sequence of modes can exhibit state discontinuities at the switching time instants. The amplitudes these depend on consistency projectors modes. A switched ordinary differential equations model whose continuous evolution approximates original system is proposed. Sufficient conditions based linear matrix inequalities ensure that ap...

Object recognition and sorting plays a key role in robotic systems, especially for the autonomous robots to implement object sorting tasks in a warehouse. In this paper, we present a global texture-shape 3D feature descriptor which can be utilized in a sorting system, and this system can perform object sorting tasks well. Our proposed descriptor stems from the clustered viewpoint feature histog...
