Predictive control of a real-world Diesel engine using an extended online active set strategy

In order to meet tight emission limits Diesel engines are nowadays equipped with additional hardware components like an exhaust gas recirculation valve and a variable geometry turbocharger. Conventional engine control units use two SISO control loops to regulate the exhaust gas recirculation valve and the variable geometry turbocharger, although their effects are highly coupled. Moreover, these actuators are subject to physical constraints which seems to make an advanced control approach like model predictive control (MPC) the method of choice. In order to deal with MPC sampling times in the order of milliseconds, we employed an extension of the recently developed online active set strategy for controlling a real-world Diesel engine in a closed-loop manner. The results show that predictive engine control based on online optimisation can be accomplished in real-time – even on cheap controller hardware – and leads to increased controller performance.     

Performance analysis of sign quantized projection

Quantized projection technology(QP) is the version of quantization index modulation(QIM) working in the projection domain.It essentially belongs to a double-sided additive embedder.In this article,the concept of sign quantized projection(SQP) is proposed,which differs from the conventional QP when working as a single-sided embedder.Theoretical analysis reveals that SQP has the same probability of miss and probability of false alarm as QP.Also,the document-to-watermark ratio(DWR) of SQP is less than its coun...

QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING SOLUTION OF DYNAMIC MATRIX CONTROL (QDMC)

QDMC is an improved version of Shell's Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) multivariable algorithm which provides a direct and efficient method for handling process constraints. The algorithm utilizes a quadratic program to compute moves on process manipulated variables which keep controlled variables close to their targets while preventing violations of process constraints. Several on-line applications have demonstrated its excellent constraint handling properties, transparent tuning and robustness, while requiring minimal on-line computational load.

结合恰可察觉编码失真模型的HEVC大容量信息隐藏方法

目的 数字视频通常经过压缩后传输,结合视频编码标准嵌入秘密信息是视频信息隐藏的主流技术。然而,现有基于HEVC（high-efficiency video coding）的视频信息隐藏技术存在码率增长过快、视频质量下降等问题。针对以上问题,提出结合恰可察觉编码失真模型（JNCD）的HEVC大容量信息隐藏方法。方法 JNCD模型是一种面向HEVC视频编码的视觉感知模型。该模型充分考虑编码过程的模糊和块效应,有效去除视频感知冗余,在相同码率下可获得更高的主观感知质量。结合JNCD模型,调节I帧中编码单元（CU）的最优量化参数（QP）值,并利用基于方向调整（EMD）算法嵌入秘密信息,进一步增加信息隐藏容量。为了提高信息的安全性,用密钥对秘密信息进行置乱加密处理,在解码端只有持有该密钥的用户才能正确解密,获得秘密信息。结果 实验使用HEVC参考软件HM16.0,选取分辨率不同的序列进行测试。结果表明,秘密信息嵌入后,视频测试序列的PSNR平均值为41.16 dB,与现有的信息隐藏方法相比,不仅保持较好的主观和客观视频质量,而且信息隐藏容量平均提升2倍左右。结论 采用本方法在保证原视频图像的质量的情况下,能够有效增加信息隐藏的容量,并能够一定程度阻止码率增长,符合信息隐藏的不可见性、安全性和实时性要求。     

Imperfection sensitivity due to coupled local instability: a non‐convex QP solution algorithm

The paper deals with the collapse safety of slender elastic structures subjected to local buckling interaction. Using Koiter's asymptotic approach, the mechanical problem is reduced to the search for all the local minima of an indefinite quadratic form over the unit simplex. An efficient recursive branch‐and‐cut algorithm is proposed for solving this non‐convex QP problem, allowing a numerical procedure providing statistical information about the collapse load for a given distribution of random imperfections to be set up.
