Exponential ε-tracking and ε-stabilization of second-order nonholonomic SE(2) vehicles using dynamic state feedback [PDF]
, 2002 In this paper, we address the problem of ε-tracking and ε-stabilization for a class of SE(2) vehicles with second-order nonholonomic constraints. We introduce a class of transformations called near-identity diffeomorphism that allow dynamic partial ...

Robust output tracking control of a surface vessel [PDF]
2008 American Control Conference, 2008 In this paper, tracking control of a three degree- of-freedom marine vessel is examined. The primary motivation for this work is the compensation needed for the added mass common to surface vessels, resulting in an asymmetric inertia matrix. Two control schemes are considered: a full- state feedback controller and an output feedback controller ...

A Recursive Bayesian Approach To Describe Retinal Vasculature Geometry [PDF]
, 2017 Demographic studies suggest that changes in the retinal vasculature geometry, especially in vessel width, are associated with the incidence or progression of eye-related or systemic diseases. To date, the main information source for width estimation from

Global tracking for an underactuated ships with bounded feedback controllers [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, we present a global state feedback tracking controller for underactuated surface marine vessels. This controller is based on saturated control inputs and, under an assumption on the reference trajectory, the closed-loop system is globally ...

Surface Vessel Tracking in Airborne Infrared Imagery [PDF]
2019 27th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2019 Visual target tracking has been studied for decades and still remains a challenging problem. Ship tracking on infrared images has numerous challenges compared to conventional target tracking such as fast changing of appearance. Rapid appearance change caused by the manoeuvring movement of the target of image acquiring platform, confusion and occlusion ...

An experimental and CFD study of liquid jet injection into a partially baffled mixing vessel: a contribution to process safety by improving the quenching of runaway reactions [PDF]
, 2008 Thermal runaway remains a problem in the process industries with poor or inadequate mixing contributing significantly to these incidents. An efficient way to quench such an uncontrolled chemical reaction is via the injection of a liquid jet containing a ...
