基于时间序列模型的粒子滤波行人跟踪算法研究

针对行人运动的随机性导致运动状态模型适应性差和人在行走过程中可能发生短时全部或局部遮挡导致行人跟踪算法精度较低的问题,提出基于时间序列模型的粒子滤波行人跟踪算法。建立了行人运动时间序列模型;给出了基于对视频序列初始帧的检测,确定行人的位置、宽高等作为跟踪先验信息的方法;由先验信息计算加权颜色直方图构建初始粒子群分布,并利用时间序列运动模型预测粒子在下一时刻的状态分布,并更新粒子权值;根据有效粒子的个数判断是否进行重采样;最后由所有粒子的加权和估计行人的运动状态。仿真实验表明：文中提出根据行人的运动轨迹时间序列运动模型可使行人的状态估计更准确,预测误差进一步减小,预测精度得到了提高。     

Time series of functional data with application to yield curves

We develop time series analysis of functional data observed discretely, treating the whole curve as a random realization from a distribution on functions that evolve over time. The method consists of principal components analysis of functional data and subsequently modeling the principal component scores as vector autoregressive moving averag (VARMA) process. We justify the method by showing that an underlying ARMAH structure of the curves leads to a VARMA structure on the principal component scores. We derive asymptotic properties of the estimators, fits, and forecast. For term structures of interest rates, these provide a unified framework for studying the time and maturity components of interest rates under one setup with few parametric assumptions. We apply the method to the yield curves of USA and India. We compare our forecasts to the parametric model that is based on Nelson‐Siegel curves. In another application, we study the dependence of long term interest rate on the short term interest rate using functional regression.     

Mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid over a non-linearly stretching sheet

The steady two-dimensional mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet is investigated. The governing non-linear equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. The series solution of the problem is obtained by utilizing the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the obtained series solutions is carefully checked. The physical significance of interesting parameters on the flow and the thermal fields are shown through graphs and discussed in detail. The values of wall shear stress, couple wall stress and the local Nusselt number are tabulated. Comparison is also made with the corresponding results of viscous fluid with no mixed convection and an excellent agreement is noted.     

On numerical solution of Burgers' equation by homotopy analysis method

In this Letter, we present the Homotopy Analysis Method (shortly HAM) for obtaining the numerical solution of the one-dimensional nonlinear Burgers' equation. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants which can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. Convergence of the solution and effects for the method is discussed. The comparison of the HAM results with the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and the results of [E.N. Aksan, Appl. Math. Comput. 174 (2006) 884; S. Kutluay, A. Esen, Int. J. Comput. Math. 81 (2004) 1433; S. Abbasbandy, M.T. Darvishi, Appl. Math. Comput. 163 (2005) 1265] are made. The results reveal that HAM is very simple and effective. The HAM contains the auxiliary parameter ?, which provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series. The numerical solutions are compared with the known analytical and some numerical solutions.
