Iterative Learning Applied to Hydraulic Pressure Control
2018
This paper addresses a performance limiting phenomenon that may occur in the pressure control of hydraulic actuators subjected to external velocity disturbances. It is demonstrated that under certain conditions a severe peaking of the control error may be observed that significantly degrades the performance of the system due to the presence of nonlinearities. The phenomenon is investigated numerically and experimentally using a system that requires pressure control of two hydraulic cylinders. It is demonstrated that the common solution of feed forwarding the velocity disturbance is not effective in reducing the peaking that occurs as a result of this phenomenon. To improve the system perfor…
Postural and gestural synchronization, sequential imitation, and mirroring predict perceived coupling of dancing dyads
2023
Body movement is a primary nonverbal communication channel in humans. Coordinated social behaviors, such as dancing together, encourage multifarious rhythmic and interpersonally coupled movements from which observers can extract socially and contextually relevant information. The investigation of relations between visual social perception and kinematic motor coupling is important for social cognition. Perceived coupling of dyads spontaneously dancing to pop music has been shown to be highly driven by the degree of frontal orientation between dancers. The perceptual salience of other aspects, including postural congruence, movement frequencies, time-delayed relations, and horizontal mirrorin…
Liiketoimintatiedon hallinnan pelillistäminen
2018
Tämä työ on Pro gradu -tutkielma, jossa on haettu vastauksia siihen, mitä on liiketoimintatiedon hallinta ja pelillistäminen. Työn tarkoituksena on selvittää, mistä liiketoimintatiedon hallinnassa ja pelillistämisessä on kysymys, ja kuin-ka pelillistämistä voitaisiin soveltaa liiketoimintatiedon hallintaan ja mitä hyö-tyä pelillistämisellä voidaan saavuttaa liiketoimintatiedonhallinnassa. Liike-toimintatiedon hallinta on organisaatioille erittäin hyödyllistä ja nykypäivänä erittäin tärkeää menestymisen kannalta, mutta se koetaan usein hyvin työlääksi ja hankalaksi. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan kirjallisuuskatsauksen kautta liike-toimintatiedon hallintaa pelillistämisen näkökulmasta ja esitetä…
Evaluation de la pertinence dans un système de recommandation sémantique de nouvelles économiques
2014
Today in the commercial and financial sectors, staying informed about economic news is crucial and involves targeting good articles to read, because the huge amount of information. To address this problem, we propose an innovative article recommendation system, based on the integration of a semantic description of articles and on a knowledge ontological model. We support our recommendation system on an intrinsically efficient vector model that we have perfected to overcome the confusion existing in models between the concepts of similarity and relevancy that does not take into account the effects of the difference in the accuracy of the semantic descriptions precision between profiles and a…
The Fuzzy Concept of Idiom and What It Might Mean for Bilingual Dictionaries
2019
Linguistic categories were developed as tools for describing language systems and making them easier to learn. However, like many theoretical concepts and systems, they do not fully represent the real world and, in some cases, seek to imprison linguistic units within a well-ordered system – a procrustean bed as it were. Besides, although the most general categories are universal, the lower-ranking ones are often language-specific. Idiom (or phraseologism) is a very unclear linguistic concept, subject to never-ending debate. However, a strict adherence to categorisation is observable in practical bilingual lexicography and phraseography. This may lead to unwanted compartmentalisation and a…
IoT -based adversarial attack's effect on cloud data platform services in a smart building context
2020
IoT sensors and sensor networks are widely employed in businesses. The common problem is a remarkable number of IoT device transactions are unencrypted. Lack of correctly implemented and robust defense leaves the organization's IoT devices vulnerable to numerous cyber threats, such as adversarial and man-in-the-middle attacks or malware infections. A perpetrator can utilize adversarial examples when attacking machine learning (ML) models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) or deep neural networks (DNN) used, e.g., in DaaS cloud data platform service of smart buildings. DaaS cloud data platform's function in this study is to connect data from multiple IoT sensors, databases, private…
Active lighting applied to three-dimensional reconstruction of specular metallic surfaces by polarization imaging
2006
International audience; In the field of industrial vision, the three-dimensional inspection of highly reflective metallic objects is still a delicate task. We deal with a new automated three-dimensional inspection system based on polarization analysis. We first present an extension of the shape-from-polarization method for dielectric surfaces to metallic surfaces. Then, we describe what we believe to be a new way of solving the ambiguity concerning the normal orientation with an active lighting system. Finally, applications to shape-defect detection are discussed, and the efficiency of the system to discriminate defects on specular metallic objects made by stamping and polishing is presente…
Catalyse : Systèmes d'intelligence territoriale pour le développement local
2000
Le centre MTI@SHS a conçu et expérimenté une méthode originale d'évaluation participative des actions locales de lutte contre la pauvreté et d'insertion socio-économique dans le cadre du programme “Pauvreté 3” de 1989 à 1993, sur le département du Doubs (France). Depuis 1994, de nombreux transferts ont été réalisés dans des contextes différents en Europe, concernant des thématiques d'action diversifiées, qui ont permis d’inscrire l’évaluation participative dans une logique d’observation et d’élaborer les outils nécessaires au transfert de la méthode, en particulier ceux qui sont orientés vers les acteurs locaux et qui facilitent à la fois le suivi individualisé et une relation partenariale …

Combining hyperspectral UAV and multispectral Formosat-2 imagery for precision agriculture applications
2014
Remote sensing is a key tool for precision agriculture applications as it is capable of capturing spatial and temporal variations in crop status. However, satellites often have an inadequate spatial resolution for precision agriculture applications. High-resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) imagery can be obtained at flexible dates, but operational costs may limit the collection frequency. The current study utilizes data fusion to create a dataset which benefits from the temporal resolution of Formosat-2 imagery and the spatial resolution of UAV imagery with the purpose of monitoring crop growth in a potato field. The correlation of the Weighted Difference Vegetation Index (WDVI) from …
