Micro displacement is precisely produced either directly by squirm movement, or indirectly by the enlargement effect from the lever with microstructure, driving by the external force, electric field or magnetic field on the micro displacement devices. For example, the piezoelectric transducer is driven by the voltage, to squirm with micro displacement, based on the converse piezoelectric effect. In this article, we summarize measurement and calibration methods of micro displacement of the PZT used as phase shifter of the interferometer to guarantee a phase-shifting step of λ/8(λ=632. 8nm), based on the researches of our group in recent years. The precise positioning with resolution better than 10 nm is achieved by displacement sensing utilizing the feedback of a capacitor on the PZT.

    Considering the problems of the accuracy decline and the divergence of integrated filtering during outages of satellite signal in GNSS/INS integrated navigation, we proposed a new integrated navigation algorithm. With only two visible satellites, the algorithm can obtain stable and reliable positioning result by utilizing the position information and discontinuous pseudo ranges of the two satellites, and the relative movement information at different moments. The positioning result is independent of the existing inertial navigation errors. The correctness and effectiveness of this algorithm are verified through simulations.

    Consensus problem for multi-agent systems has become a hot topic in the control community, and many research achievements have been reported. Most of the literatures mainly consider the case of linear algorithms and measurable agent states, but it is difficult to measure states of the agents directly in some real applications. Consensus problem for second-order, multi-agent systems with nonlinear output network is studied in the paper. To the multi-agent system difficult to measure directly, a consensus protocol design method is proposed respectively for second-order, multi-agent systems with a leader and without a leader. Consensus convergence is proved by using invariant set theorem, and the decision value is derived for the case of multi-agent system without a leader. Finally, the numerical simulations and analysis on different conditions are given to verify the effectiveness of theoretical results.

    An optimal Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control method under event-triggered sampling mechanism is proposed for the linear, discrete stochastic process with white Gaussian noise in networked stochastic system. Considering the joint design of optimum control law and optimum event-trigger law, it is proved that an optimal LQG control law based on event-triggered sampling mechanism can also satisfy the separation theorem. Then, performance cost function is derived, and based on which the optimum event-trigger law and the minimum value of the cost function are obtained by deterministic dynamic programming. Simulation results show that, compared with the optimal time-triggered LQG control under the same conditions, the proposed optimal event-triggered LQG control can save communication resources, decrease the transmission times, and improve the whole control performance at the same time.

    In attitude control of quad-rotor aircraft, the conventional Proportion-Integration-Differentiation (PID)closed-loop algorithm has the problems of complex parameter tuning, and large overshoot due to closed-loop zero. According to the system dynamic performance requirements, and by improving the traditional PID control algorithm, an optimal PID algorithm with pre-filtering performance is designed based on the time and the Integral Absolute Error (ITAE) indicators.

    To solve the problem of long time north-finding of gyroscopic theodolite, a new composite, rapid and accurate amplitude limiting scheme was designed. Taking a certain type of gyroscope theodolite as the prototype, we added a liquid cup on lock-release cup, and installed a damper under pendulous to limit the amplitude roughly. Through monitoring the amplitude of swing, the stepped limiting method was used to accomplish accurate amplitude limiting when it reaches 20′. This method can shorten the north-finding time of the gyroscope theodolite and guarantee the precision, which can accomplish the amplitude limiting in 120 s with an accuracy of 1′.

    An adaptive backstepping controller is exploited for a hypersonic vehicle in the presence of uncertain parameters and flexible dynamics. The control laws of velocity subsystem and altitude subsystem are proposed respectively based on dynamic inversion and backstepping design procedure. Low-pass first order filters are introduced to obtain the time derivatives of virtual control laws in altitude subsystem, thus to avoid the explosion of differentiation terms in traditional backstepping design. The uncertain parameters are updated adaptively by using a projection operator, and the possible parameter drift problem is eliminated. Simulation results show that the developed controller is robust to the model uncertain parameters and the flexible effects, and moreover, it can provide fine tracking performance of the velocity and altitude reference trajectories.

    The speed and the precision are the two most important criteria for the result of image registration. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is a classical algorithm for feature extraction and description. The SIFT has the characteristics of scale invariance and rotation invariance, while the 128D descriptor has a big adverse effect on the speed of image registration. To improve the time-consuming descriptor, we propose a novel method. The SIFT feature points are extracted at first. Then, ORB algorithm is used to define the main orientation of the points. Based on the moments features of the feature points'neighborhood image block, a 8D descriptor is formed for describing the SIFT feature points of the image and realize SAR image registration. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the registration speed greatly while keeping the image registration precision.

    A large number of false positives and false negatives may emerge when using traditional kernel principal component analysis to make fault diagnosis to dynamic systems. To solve the problem, a step auto-regression Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) algorithm is proposed. The method establishes a fault diagnosis model based on step dynamic strategy. Based on sliding window mechanism and exponential weighting idea, it updates the diagnosis model by continuously adding weighted, real-time data. T2and SPE statistic are used to detect whether the system has faults or not. The method is applied to fault detection of diesel engine valve, and the results indicate that the algorithm can not only make full use of original data and real-time dynamic information to update the model automatically, but also reduce the calculation cost, detect abnormal working status earlier, and improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Furthermore, the method can make diagnosis result more accurate and reliable by increasing the fault sensitivity.
