This is the first paper to present such a digital redesign method for the (conventional) OKID system and apply this novel technique for nonlinear system identification. First, the Observer/Kalman filter Identification (OKID) method is used to obtain the lower-order state-space model for a stochastic chaos system. Then, a digital redesign approach with the high-gain property is applied to improve and replace the observer identified by OKID. Therefore, the proposed OKID combined with an observer-based digital redesign novel tracker not only suppresses the uncertainties and the nonlinear perturbations, but also improves more accurate observation parameters of OKID for complex Multi-Input Multi-Output systems. In this research, Chen’s stochastic chaotic system is used as an illustrative example to demonstrate the effectiveness and excellence of the proposed methodology. Full article

An improved pilot pattern algorithm for facilitating the channel estimation in multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems is proposed in this paper. The presented algorithm reconfigures the parameter in the least square (LS) algorithm, which belongs to the space-time block-coded (STBC) category for channel estimation in pilot-based MIMO-OFDM system. Simulation results show that the algorithm has better performance in contrast to the classical single symbol scheme. In contrast to the double symbols scheme, the proposed algorithm can achieve nearly the same performance with only half of the complexity of the double symbols scheme. Full article

Nowadays, how to evaluate image quality reasonably is a basic and challenging problem. In view of the present no reference evaluation methods, they cannot reflect the human visual perception of image quality accurately. In this paper, we propose an efficient general-purpose no reference image quality assessment (NRIQA) method based on visual perception, and effectively integrates human visual characteristics into the NRIQA fields. First, a novel algorithm for salient region extraction is presented. Two characteristics graphs of texture and edging of the original image are added to the Itti model. Due to the normalized luminance coefficients of natural images obey the generalized Gauss probability distribution, we utilize this characteristic to extract statistical features in the regions of interest (ROI) and regions of non-interest respectively. Then, the extracted features are fused to be an input to establish the support vector regression (SVR) model. Finally, the IQA model obtained by training is used to predict the quality of the image. Experimental results show that this method has good predictive ability, and the evaluation effect is better than existing classical algorithms. Moreover, the predicted results are more consistent with human subjective perception, which can accurately reflect the human visual perception to image quality. Full article

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making method for evaluating the performance of Cloud services in an uncertain environment. Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are used to better model the subjectivity and imprecision in the performance evaluation process. An effective algorithm is developed based on the technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution and the Choquet integral operator for adequately solving the performance evaluation problem. An example is presented for demonstrating the applicability of the proposed method for solving the multi-criteria group decision making problem in real situations. Full article

A new fusion sensing (FS) method was proposed by using the improved fractal box dimension (IFBD) and a developed maximum wavelet coefficient (DMWC) for fault sensing of an online power cable. There are four strategies that were used. Firstly, the traditional fractal box dimension was improved to enlarge the feature distances between the different fault classes. Secondly, the IFBD recognition algorithm was proposed by using the improved fractal dimension feature extracted from the three-phase currents for the first stage of fault recognition. Thirdly, the DMWC recognition algorithm was developed based on the K-transform and wavelet analysis to establish the relationship between the maximum wavelet coefficient and the fault class. Fourthly, the FS method was formed by combining the IFBD algorithm and the DMWC algorithm in order to recognize the 10 types of short circuit faults of online power. The designed test system proved that the FS method increased the fault recognition accuracy obviously. In addition, the parameters of the initial angle, transient resistance, and fault distance had no influence on the FS method. Full article

In order to reduce the noise of a defect electromagnetic signal of the steel cord conveyor belt used in coal mines, a new signal noise reduction method by combined use of the improved threshold wavelet and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is proposed. Firstly, the denoising method based on the improved threshold wavelet is applied to reduce the noise of a defect electromagnetic signal obtained by an electromagnetic testing system. Then, the EMD is used to decompose the denoised signal and then the effective Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) is extracted by the dominant eigenvalue strategy. Finally, the signal reconstruction is carried out by utilizing the obtained IMF. In order to verify the proposed noise reduction method, the experiments are carried out in two cases including the defective joint and steel wire rope break. The experimental results show that the proposed method in this paper obtains the higher Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for the defect electromagnetic signal noise reduction of steel cord conveyor belts.
