AFM Image Segmentation Based on Wave Growth of Local Maximum Regions with their Selection in Order of Decreasing Values by V. V. Rabtsevich, V. Y. Tsviatkou

“…Known segmentation algorithms based on the morphological watershed, defining the boundaries of areas by local minima of pixel brightness, having significant segmentation errors of AFM images and high computational complexity. Less computationally complex segmentation algorithms based on wave growth of regions require preliminary determination of the starting points of growth on AFM images under the control of an operator. …”

Output Feedback Adaptive Dynamic Surface Sliding-Mode Control for Quadrotor UAVs with Tracking Error Constraints by Guoqiang Zhu, Sen Wang, Lingfang Sun, Weichun Ge, Xiuyu Zhang

“…The main features of this work are (1) a nonlinear observer is employed to predict the motion velocities of the quadrotor UAV; therefore, only the position signals are needed for the position tracking controller design; (2) by using the minimum learning technology, there is only one parameter which needs to be updated online at each design step and the computational burden can be greatly reduced; (3) a performance function is introduced to transform the tracking error into a new variable which can make the tracking error of the system satisfy the prescribed performance indicators; (4) the sliding-mode surface is introduced in the process of the controller design, and the robustness of the system is improved. …”
