    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(662KB)
    If the initial iterative performance index function is a positive semi-definite function, then the value iteration of adaptive dynamic programming will converge to the optimal. This is the convergence condition of value-iteration based adaptive dynamic programming. Based on the condition, the initializing and updating methods for iterative performance index function is studied and a cooperative optimization algorithm based on adaptive dynamic programming is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can rapidly reduce the iteration residuals and greatly improve the convergence rate of adaptive dynamic programming.

    Journal of Guangdong University of Technology. 2017, 34 (06): 27-31,48.   DOI: 10.12052/gdutxb.170014
    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(916KB)
    With the Internet technology and modern E-commerce becoming popular, the recommender system has been widely used, but two problems of most recommendation algorithms still remain, i.e. cold start and explanatory problem. Based on the HFT (Hidden Factors and Hidden Topics) model which combines the review and rating information, an improved HFT model is proposed. By adding the free vector in order to capture the review information not discussed in the HFT model, the two problems can be released and the model accuracy improved. At last, the two large datasets shows that the proposed model is better than the HFT model in accuracy, which can largely benefit the use of review information.

    Journal of Guangdong University of Technology. 2017, 34 (06): 37-42.   DOI: 10.12052/gdutxb.170034
    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(1381KB)
    FREAK algorithm has the defects of not having scale invariance and single feature point matching strategy, and being prone to unsatisfactory results. Based on SIFT and RANSAC algorithm, an improved FREAK algorithm is proposed: SFREAK (SIFT and FREAK). First of all, in the generation of Gauss differential Pyramid image, the feature points are detected with scale invariance; then the feature points are described with FREAK descriptor, obtaining binary descriptor; finally, in the process of feature points matching using Hamming distance matching for coarse matching, the matching points are purified with RANSAC algorithm, and the feature points of two images are matched. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the FREAK not having scale invariance in image scaling, and SFREAK algorithm for feature point matching accuracy rate reached 95.7%, increased by 61.9% compared with FREAK. Therefore, compared with the traditional SIFT algorithm and FREAK algorithm, the improved algorithm shows better robustness.

    Journal of Guangdong University of Technology. 2017, 34 (06): 43-48.   DOI: 10.12052/gdutxb.170006
    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(1711KB)
    In order to solve the ill-posing problem and poor effect of fixed regularization parameter in super-resolution image reconstruction, an adaptive regularization combining the study of sparse representation is proposed. By additional restrictions for compatibility of adjacent patches, a new L1/2 non-convex optimization model is built. Reweighted L2 Norm rather than Lp (0<p<1) Norm is applied into the adaptive algorithm for adjustment of regularization parameter. With the help of joint dictionary training method, some important features for improving the quality of reconstructed image are obtained. Experimental results show that the method has significant advantages in denoising and preserving edge details. It is showed that the proposed method not only makes the desired high-resolution images visually clearer, but it also outperforms some traditional methods in both the value of peak signal to noise ratio and structural similarity.

    Journal of Guangdong University of Technology. 2017, 34 (06): 54-60,67.   DOI: 10.12052/gdutxb.160144
    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(1153KB)
    Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) can effectively solve the code-tangling and code-scattering caused by crosscutting attributes; however, much work is presented on the programming and the implementation phase, and little has addressed the early model stages. A research is conducted on the requirements engineering phase of software by using AOP technology. First in the requirements analysis phase, the functional requirements and non-functional requirements are identified by the separation of concerns, and the functional requirements with components and the non-functional requirements with aspects are realized. Then the components and aspects are represented by combining with the formal language Aspect-Z which has the characteristics of accurate description. As actions accompany conflicts while two or more aspects affect the same joint point synchronously, a method is proposed to solve by defining aspects' priority level. In the end, the properties and attributes of the described requirements are deduced by the theorem proving method, so as to achieve the purpose of formal verification of Aspect-Z specifications. Finally, an application example is given.

    Ma Liu-yang, Meng An-bo, Yin Hao
    Journal of Guangdong University of Technology. 2017, 34 (06): 68-72,77.   DOI: 10.12052/gdutxb.160161
    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(880KB)
    With regard to the characteristics of the unit commitment problem, a hybrid crisscross optimization algorithm (CSO) is proposed, discrete CSO and continuous CSO are used for the unit status scheduling and power economic dispatch, respectively. In the process of evolution, horizontal crossover performs crossover on the same dimension of different particles to guarantee the global convergence ability, and vertical crossover performs crossover on different dimensions of the same particle to overcome the local optimal convergence, and the perfect combination of the two crossovers by a competitive algorithm not only speeds up the convergence rate but also ensures the ability of the global constraints. The heuristic strategy is introduced to modify the constraint conditions, such as the minimum up and down time and the power balance, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the solution. The feasibility and superiority of the proposed algorithm are verified by the simulation of two examples and the comparison with other algorithms.

    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(707KB)
    Based on the advantage of GPS (Global Positioning System)-RTK (Real-time kinematic) rapid positioning technique, a GPS-RTK-assisted close-range photogrammetric bundle adjustment method is presented. On the basis of the conventional photogrammetric adjustment model, GPS-RTK observation equations are added. According to the relative offset between the GPS observation center and the camera projecting center, GPS-RTK observations are given appropriate weights and a rigorous adjustment is carried out according to the least-squares principle. The experiment results show that the parameters solving process is stable and the planar location precision can be 0.02 m, and the new adjustment method can reduce the accuracy requirement of the initial parameter value.

    High-temperature Dielectric Relaxation and Impedance Analysis of BaTi1-xSnxO3Ceramics
    Huang Guang, Liu Qiu-xiang
    Journal of Guangdong University of Technology. 2017, 34 (06): 88-92.   DOI: 10.12052/gdutxb.170001
    Abstract    HTML ( )   PDF(1634KB)
    BaTi1-xSnxO3(x=0.02, 0.10, 0.15, 0.25) ceramics were synthesized by the traditional solid state reaction method. XRD spectrum shows that all sample is tetragonal phase. With the increase of Sn4+/Ti4+ molar ratio, Curie temperature of all compositions will drop a little. When x value range 0.02 to 0.15, the impedance spectrum analysis shows that the sample resistance may be mainly ascribed to grain boundary. While for composition of x=0.25, the response from grain can not be ignored. Through analyzing the dielectric spectrum and impedance spectroscopy, the values of activation energy calculated from conduction were lower than that calculated from impedance measurements. The results suggest that the relaxation process of BaTi1-xSnxO3 ceramics is dominated by a dipolar conduction. The conduction mechanism can be explained by thermal dynamic process of oxygen vacancy.
