Distinguishing noise from chaos

Chaotic systems share with stochastic processes several properties that make them almost undistinguishable. In this communication we introduce a representation space, to be called the complexity-entropy causality plane. Its horizontal and vertical axis are suitable functionals of the pertinent probability distribution, namely, the entropy of the system and an appropriate statistical complexity measure, respectively. These two functionals are evaluated using the Bandt-Pompe recipe to assign a probability distribution function to the time series generated by the system. Several well-known model-generated time series, usually regarded as being of either stochastic or chaotic nature, are analyzed so as to illustrate the approach. The main achievement of this communication is the possibility of clearly distinguishing between them in our representation space, something that is rather difficult otherwise.     

Advanced driver assistance system: Road sign identification using VIAPIX system and a correlation technique

We present a three-step approach based on the commercial VIAPIX® module for road traffic sign recognition and identification. Firstly, detection in a scene of all objects having characteristics of traffic signs is performed. This is followed by a first-level recognition based on correlation which consists in making a comparison between each detected object with a set of reference images of a database. Finally, a second level of identification allows us to confirm or correct the previous identification. In this study, we perform a correlation-based analysis by combining and adapting the Vander Lugt correlator with the nonlinear joint transformation correlator (JTC). Of particular significance, this approach permits to make a reliable decision on road traffic sign identification. We further discuss a robust scheme allowing us to track a detected road traffic sign in a video sequence for the purpose of increasing the decision performance of our system. This approach can have broad practical applications in the maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation infrastructure, or for drive assistance.

On estimating system damping from frequency response bandwidths

As damping determines the maximum vibratory response of a system at resonance, reliable estimates of damping are critical both to the design and qualification of systems to be subjected to a vibratory environment and for the evaluation of the effectiveness of modifications or additions provided to increase damping. The sharpness of the frequency response at resonance is often used for this purpose, quantified by the width of the frequency range (bandwidth) for which the response is above some fraction of the maximum response. Several aspects of the use of bandwidth methods in interpreting test results are considered. It is shown that the use of an excessive rate of change of test frequency in a sine sweep leads to overestimates of system damping. A criterion is offered for the identification of the maximum sweep rate for which an observed frequency response function provides a true indication of system damping, rather than an erroneous value dominated by the sweep rate. Applicability of the criterion is demonstrated through the use of results from actual tests. Excessive sweep rates are shown to inflate estimates of system loss factors above the true values in proportion to the square root of the sweep rate. It is also demonstrated with a specific form for an amplitude-dependent stiffness that the resulting nonlinearity can lead to erroneous observations of bandwidth frequencies, as well as the need for further reductions in the sweep rate.     

Distinguishing a SM-like MSSM Higgs boson from SM Higgs boson at muon collider

We explore the possibility of distinguishing the SM-like MSSM Higgs boson from the SM Higgs boson via Higgs boson pair production at future muon collider. We study the behavior of the production cross-section in SM and MSSM with Higgs boson mass for various MSSM parameters tan β and m _A . We observe that at fixed CM energy, in the SM, the total cross-section increases with the increase in Higgs boson mass whereas this trend is reversed for the MSSM. The changes that occur for the MSSM in comparison to the SM predictions are quantified in terms of the relative percentage deviation in cross-section. The observed deviations in cross-section for different choices of Higgs boson masses suggest that the measurements of the cross-section could possibly distinguish the SM-like MSSM Higgs boson from the SM Higgs boson.

Time response of a coupled atoms-cavity system

We study the time response of a quantum optical system to a step excitation. The system is composed of a collection of N two-level atoms coupled to a single mode of the electromagnetic field of an optical cavity.

Vision-based vehicle detection and inter-vehicle distance estimation for driver alarm system

In this paper, we propose a robust real-time vehicle detection and inter-vehicle distance estimation algorithm for vision-based driving assistance system. The proposed vehicle detection method uses the combination of multiple vehicle features, which are the usual Harr-like intensity features of car-rear shadows and additional Haar-like edge features. The combination of two distinctive Haar-like intensity and edge features greatly reduces the false-positive vehicle detection errors in real-time. And, after analyzing two inter-vehicle distance estimation methods: the vehicle position-based and the vehicle width-based, we present a novel improved inter-vehicle distance estimation algorithm that uses the advantage of both methods. Various experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
