    The covariance matrix algorithms have strong robustness under the condition of large mismatch errors of MIMO radar.Howeverthose algorithms usually have high computational complexity.In view of the contradiction between high performance and low computational complexity, this paper proposes a method to modify the mismatch error model. The model is modified from two aspects. Firstly, based on bilateral constraining, the error set of the unilateral steering vector is set up to constraint the errors of the transmitter and the receiverand the mismatch error set of the joint steering vector was obtained. Secondly, based on the structural characteristics of the uncertainty set model, K-means clustering algorithm is used to obtain a small number of weighted characteristic sampling points to replace the previous large number of discrete sampling points, so as to reduce the number of sampling points needed for covariance matrix construction and thus reduce computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has strong robustness under the condition of large mismatch errors and presents outstanding performance in improving the output SINR.

    To solve such problems as target scale change, deformation and occlusion in multi-target tracking, this paper proposes a new algorithm with good robustness.This algorithm adopts the improved SVM classifier for online learning, and the tracking problem is considered to be a structural learning problem with the maximum interval and the updating mode is improved to find the optimal weight. At the same time, the mechanism for the online updating of the classifier is adjusted, and the accumulated error is reduced to a certain extent, in which way online learning gives play to its advantages more adequately. In addition, the algorithm adopts the correlation filter to adaptively adjust the size of the tracking box, and proposes the mechanisms of occlusion processing and data association, so that the numbers of the targets that reappear after the occlusion are not exchanged.The experimental results prove that the proposed algorithm improves the tracking accuracy and can fulfill multi-target tracking tasks in complex background environments.

    To solve the problems of high autocorrelation sidelobe peakhigh cross-correlation peak, and low convergence rate of the algorithm in the orthogonal polyphase code design for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radar, a method based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and the Harmony Search (HS) algorithm is proposed for the design of the orthogonal polyphase code of MIMO radar. Each time when the GA has been optimized to a certain extent after iterating several times, the HS algorithm is used to search possible solutions in its neighborhood. This hybrid algorithm possesses the global convergence ability of GA and the neighborhood search ability of the HS algorithm.By adding the HS algorithm, the convergence rates of the autocorrelation sidelobe peak and the cross-correlation peak are faster, and the mainlobe-to-sidelobe ratio is higher.Simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective.

    In order to realize the attitude control of fixed-wing UAVs under the conditions of uncertainties and external disturbances, a control law combining the extended disturbance observer of the nonlinear sliding mode with the fast-response dynamic inversion was designed. On the basis of the design of the extended disturbance observer, an extended disturbance observer of the nonlinear sliding mode was designed by introducing the sliding mode theories, so as to make real-time estimation of the disturbances and their rate of change. The UAV attitude equation was divided into the slow loop of the posture angle and the fast loop of the attitude angular velocity. Then the dynamic inverse control law was designed respectively and the unknown disturbance was compensated based on the disturbance estimation.At the same time, the differential value of the command value estimated by TD (fast Tracking Differentiator) was added to the fast loop controller to improve its response speed. Finally, the stability of the composite controller was proved.The simulation results show that the designed composite controller can control the attitude movement of UAVs efficiently.

    To solve the problem that the specular highlight covers the surface features during the imaging process and thus hinders many visual applications, this paper proposes a novel specular highlight suppression algorithm based on chromaticity analysis and L1-weighted norm regularization constraints.This method doesn't rely on such preprocessing procedures as clustering and segmentation. By using the distribution of image intensity, the Median Specular-Free(MSF)mechanism is put forward to effectively separate highlight components and suppress noise interference. Meanwhile, by combining the chromaticity analysis with local chromaticity correlation, the L1-weighted norm regularization is carried out. Then, the variables splitting strategy is introduced to realize fast optimization, and the inherent details of the targets were effectively restored, such as their texture, color and edges.Experimental results demonstrate that our method can realize accurate suppression and separation of highlight components, and preserve the original characteristics of the targets to a great extent.This algorithm is highly reliable with increased computational efficiency.

    There are problems in traditional compressive tracking algorithms of few extracted features, high sensitivity to illumination changes and inadaptability to the changes in target scale. To solve these problems, an adaptive-scale compressive tracking algorithm fusing HOG-like features is proposed.On the basis of Haar-like features, the new algorithm uses the method of fixed ratio to fuse HOG-like features, so as to reduce its sensitivity to illumination. The integral graph algorithm is used to accelerate the calculation of HOG-like features.In addition, a scale estimation method based on correlation filter is proposed, so as to find out the scale to which the scale filter has the biggest response and then take it as the new target scale.The size of the tracking window is timely adjusted and the feature extraction template is updated.Therefore, the problem of scale change is solved. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm can adapt to marked illumination changes, scale changes and in-plane rotation.Its tracking accuracy and robustness are improved greatly, which satisfies the requirements of real-time tracking.

    It is widely agreed that a complete Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) target feature library should be built to improve the basic support capability of SAR image applications in China.At presentthe accuracy of the SAR image in the SAR target feature library built by the electromagnetic modeling simulation depends on the simulation parameters of the ground object.The simulation parameters can hardly be obtained by theory.To solve this problema method based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed to predict the best simulation parameters of SAR images.An 11-layer CNN regression system is builtwhose input is the SAR simulation image.Since the predicted simulation parameters are 4 dimensional a new loss function is proposed to improve the predicted accuracy of each dimension in the process of multidimensional regression.Through an analysis of the changes in the error amplitude of the parameters during the training of the neural networkit can be seen that the loss function can achieve the desired result in the prediction of all the 4 dimensions.A comparison between the real image and the simulated image shows a high similarity between themwhich validates the effectiveness of this method.

    To solve the problem that the traditional PRI sorting algorithm has difficulty in effectively identifying the key radar signals with complex PRI changes, a method of fast target recognition of key radar signals based on the characteristics of crystal oscillation is proposed. This method avoids the sorting procedures of the conventional PRI sorting algorithms, and uses the correlation between the PRIs to sort the pulse signal. This method can identify multiple targets simultaneously. According to the principle of PRI generation, whether the PRI change is complex or not has little effect on the recognition result.Through simulations and comparison, it is proved that the proposed algorithm can rapidly identify the pulse sequence of the key radar signal, and get a better recognition result of the radar signal with complex PRI changes.

    The traditional Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms require a large amount of sampling data, which causes high computational complexity. To address this problem, based on the compressive sensing theory, a beamspace based Regularized Multi-vector Focal Undetermined System Solver (RMFOCUSS) DOA estimation algorithm is proposed, which uses the spatial sparsity characteristic of targets of interest.The proposed algorithm maps the received compressed signals from the element-space to the beamspace, which overcomes the flaw that the sparse reconstruction algorithm cannot be used under the conditions of low SNR to some extent. Numerical simulations demonstrate that:1) Compared with the traditional CaponMUSIC and l1-SVD algorithms, the proposed algorithm can effectively carry out DOA estimation of the coherent signals with higher angle resolution and estimation accuracy;and 2) Compared with the element-space based RMFOCUSS and l1-SVD algorithms, the proposed method has a lower computational complexity.

    To monitor the working conditions of UAV's actuator system in time, a novel fault-diagnosis approach was proposed based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) and the multi-class Support Vector Machine (SVM) with posterior probability. The actuator signals obtained under five typical working conditions were taken as the object of study, i.e., normal condition, loose condition, damaged condition, stuck condition and reverse condition.First, EEMD was made to the collected signals, which were decomposed into a series of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) with simple components. Then, the energy values of the components of each order were calculated, by which the signal feature vector was obtained. Finally, the multi-class SVM based on posterior probability was established according to the feature information, and thus the type of the aircraft actuator system fault was identified.Simulation results show that the proposed approach can be applied to the fault diagnosis of the actuator system.

This problem is abstracted as a three-dimensional layout problem. This paper presents a new method for layout designing based on multi-constraint handling to solve the layout design problem.Firstlythe layout constraint priority is determined according to the layout space and the importance of constrained objects, and then the constrained objects are laid out with certain constraint vectors in order of priority. Secondly, unconstrained objects are grouped into categories and preprocessed according to the optimization goal and searching methods.The real layout is simulated to achieve the optimum in every step, so that the unconstrained object layout problem can be solved. Finally, the method of human-computer combination is used for tuning the layout, in order to achieve the orderliness and purposefulness of the layout design.
