Contour moments can effectively describe the objects' shape.Different from global moments the contour moments scan all the pixels on the perimeter of object with a lower time and space complexity but the process of derivation is very complicated.We tried to simplify the procedure by describing the contour curve section with parameter equation.Based on the Green theorem binomial theorem was used only once while calculating the contour moments.Taking the ship projection images as examples general expressions of contour moments were calculated.The experiments showed that it operated faster than area moments and the centroid error was less than 2%.

    Traditional vision-based UAV formation control law have less capability of considering constraints.A new formation control law which can explicitly consider constraints on states and control inputs was designed for vision-based formation flight based on Model Predictive Control (MPC).Control inputs of the follower UAV at each sampling instant were obtained by solving a finite horizon optimization control problem.To estimate the acceleration of the leader UAV an estimation algorithm was proposed based on the difference between predicted states and measured states in the framework of MPC.Simulation results show that the designed formation control law can drive UAVs to achieve the prescribed formation quickly and maintain the configuration in the presence of leader maneuvers.The proposed acceleration estimation algorithm is effective and has low estimation error.

    A dynamic clustering method of wireless sensor network for target tracking was proposed considering residual energy and received signal energy intensity of nodes.Because the residual energy of the nodes was considered when choosing cluster heads the fail of tracking caused by shortage of node's energy could be avoided.The method can not only make each node play the role of cluster head evenly but also avoid the cluster heads switching too frequently.Therefore the life of network can be prolonged tremendously.The results of simulations show that:to satisfy the energy requirement of cluster head and guarantee that most of the nodes of cluster can sense the target the energy threshold should be as small as possible and the distance threshold should be as big as possible.

    For the situation that the controller's expression in a nonlinear closed loop system is a nonlinear function we constructed a linear affine function of the output data based on the parameter estimation iterative method by using the virtual reference feedback tuning control design principle.Through minimizing the approximation error we could seek the adjustable weights in the linear affine function by using the parameter estimation method of system identification theory.Then we could approximate the former nonlinear controller using a linear affine function which included some adjustable weights.Finally the efficiency and possibility of the proposed strategy was verified by the simulation results.

    Particle Filter based on Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO-PF) has high calculation complexity and is easily trapped in local optimum.To solve these problems a novel particle filter based on chaos particle swarm was proposed.On the basis of PSO this algorithm introduced chaos sequence by use of the ergodicity and randomness of chaos the quality of the original sample was improved.In the meanwhile chaos perturbation was utilized to avoid the search being trapped in local optimum.Therefore the algorithm had faster convergence speed and better global search capability.UNGM model was used for simulation to compare the algorithm with Particle Filter (PF) and PSO-PF and Bearings-only tracking (BOT)model was used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.The simulation results show that this algorithm not only reduces the local optimization but also improves the velocity and precision so it has a high application value.

    The terminal virtual proportional navigation law can improve the damage effect of guided glide bombs greatly by attacking the target at different impact angles for different ground targets. The method may calculate the coordinates of the virtual target according to the distance and angle limits and guide the glide bomb to fly to the target by using proportional navigation law. The distance limit guarantees that the glide bomb the virtual target and the target coincidence in the impact time and the angle limit guarantees that the glide bomb approaches the virtual target in the set impact angle which ensure the satisfied miss distance and impact angle. According to the simulation result the maximum impact angle is larger than 80° and the error is less than 5°. This method only needs the coordinates of the bomb and target and the bomb's speed which is easy to realize in engineering and has less computation cost.
