The trajectory of the impacting asteroid is another issue of considerable debate and still unresolved. Historically, circular plan views of impact craters confounded many investigators who assumed a circular crater requires a vertical impact. They wondered why more craters are not elliptical. Gilbert and Barringer both realized that 45° impacts are the most probable trajectories for meteoritic ...

The advent in recent years of robust, real-time, model-based tracking techniques for rigid and non-rigid moving objects has made automated surveillance and event recognition a possibility. We present a statistically based model of object trajectories which is learnt from image sequences. Trajectory data is supplied by a tracker using Active Shape Models, from which a model of the distribution o...

We consider the problem of trajectory prediction, where a trajectory is an ordered sequence of location visits and corresponding timestamps. The problem arises when an agent makes sequential decisions to visit a set of spatial locations of interest. Each location bears a stochastic utility and the agent has a limited budget to spend. Given the agent’s observed partial trajectory, our goal is to...

This paper presents a model-based control design for trajectory tracking of two-wheeled mobile robots based on Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimal control. The model proposed in this article has been implemented on a computational model which is obtained from kinematic and dynamic relations of KHEPERA IV. The purpose of control is to track a predefined reference trajectory with the best po...

this paper presents a delay compensator fuzzy control for trajectory tracking of omni-directional mobile robots. fuzzy logic control (flc) of the robots is a suitable strategy for dealing with model uncertainties, nonlinearities and disturbances.  on the other hand, in many robotic applications such as mobile robots, delay phenomenon is able to substantially deteriorate the behavior of system's...

this paper deals with a globally convergent adaptive and sliding mode control of a cart-pole inverted pendulum for trajectory tracking in the presence of a bounded measurement noise and parameter uncertainty. two kinds of controllers have been used for evaluation of tracking error in presence of a bounded noise; as a result, we want to compare that at what time we can see the convergence of tra...

in this study, the problem of determining an optimal trajectory of a nonlinear injection into orbit problem with minimum time was investigated. the method was based on orthogonal polynomial approximation. this method consists of reducing the optimal control problem to a system of algebraic equations by expanding the state and control vector as chebyshev or legendre polynomials with undetermined...
