Ragnar Frisch and interior-point methods

The distinguished econometrician Ragnar Frisch (1895–1973) also played an important role in optimization theory. In fact, he was a pioneer of interior-point methods. This note reconsiders his contribution, relating it to history and modern developments.     

Algorithm and code optimizations for real-time passive ranging by imaging detection on single DSP

Monocular vision-based passive ranging system is attractive for potential applications in navigation, transportation and traffic control, robotics, and air defense. Conventionally system estimates target distance by using imaging direction and distance-related features, and the latter are extracted from the image sequence. It is not only challenging to DSP device hardware capability but also to programming optimization that to transplant the traditional feature extraction algorithm to a real-time system due to the complexity and time-consuming. In this paper, a simplified scale invariant feature transform image matching algorithm and code optimization procedure are developed, and the improvement of operation speed is demonstrated clearly. For an image sequence with size of \(256\times 256\) pixels, the operation speed was improved to 25–27 frames per second from 4 s per frame by using a single C64x+ DSP core, which meets the requirements of real-time ranging algorithm perfectly while the ranging error is less than \(7\,\%\).     

A Control Lyapunov Function Approach to Stabilization of Affine Nonlinear Systems with Bounded Uncertain Parameters

This paper considers the robust stabilization problem of a class of affine nonlinear systems with bounded uncertain time-invariant parameters. A robust control Lyapunov function (RCLF) is introduced for the considered system. Based on the RCLF, a globally asymptotically stabilizing controller is then designed. The proposed controller is robust under the variant of system parameters. As the applications of the proposed scheme, the stabilization of uncertain feedback linearizable systems and the unified chaotic system are investigated, respectively. A numerical example on the unified chaotic system is also provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented method.     

Effect of Multiscale PCA De-noising in ECG Beat Classification for Diagnosis of Cardiovascular Diseases

Current trends in clinical applications demand automation in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing and heart beat classification. This paper examines the design of an effective recognition method to diagnose heart diseases. The proposed method consists of three main modules: de-noising module, feature extraction module, and classifier module. In the de-noising module, multiscale principal component analysis (MSPCA) is used for noise reduction of the ECG signals. In the feature extraction module, autoregressive (AR) modeling is used for extracting features. In the classifier module, different classifiers are examined such as simple logistic, k-nearest neighbor, multilayer perceptron, radial basis function networks, and support vector machines. Different experiments are carried out using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database to classify different ECG heart beats and the performance of the proposed method is evaluated in terms of several standard metrics. The experimental results show that the proposed method is able to reduce noise from the noisy ECG signals more accurately in comparison to previous methods. The numerical results indicated that the proposed algorithm achieved 99.93 % of the classification accuracy using MSPCA de-noising and AR modeling.
