A recursive least-squares (LS) state-space identification method based on the QR decomposition is proposed for non-uniformly sampled-data systems. Both cases of measuring all states and only the output(s) are considered for model identification. For the case of state measurement, a QR decomposition-based recursive LS (QRD-RLS) identification algorithm is given to estimate the state matrices. For the...
Based on the orthogonal projection approach, a few closed-loop subspace identification methods have been developed recently in the literature. To guarantee consistent estimation of these methods against measurement noise, this paper analyzes the rank condition for performing the corresponding singular value decomposition (SVD) involved in deriving the extended observability matrix and the lower triangular...
Thin cloud detection for all-sky images is a challenge in ground-based sky-imaging systems because of low contrast and vague boundaries between cloud and sky regions. We treat cloud detection as a labeling problem based on the Markov random field model. In this model, each pixel is represented by a combined-feature vector that aims at improving the disparity between thin cloud and sky. The distribution...
Recently, there has been increasing interest in extending relational query processing to efficiently support extraction operators, such as dictionaries and regular expressions, over text data. Many text processing queries are sophisticated in that they involve multiple extraction and join operators, resulting in many possible query plans. However, there has been little research on building the selectivity...
This paper presents methodologies to estimate electric network component failure rates. A component is made of subcomponents and the failure of each subcomponent is feature dependent. Features are measurable or observable inputs, which can affect the life of one or more subcomponents. Failure statistics are usually available in the electric power industry for the component and its subcomponents. This...
