An enhanced, off-line, segment-based rate control approach is proposed for controlling the distortion variation across successive segments of a video sequence when encoding with s...
Abstract— In this paper, an attitude control strategy is developed for a high-speed quadruped trot. The forces in the trot are redistributed among the legs to stabilize the pitch...
For discrete-time linear time invariant systems with constraints on inputs and states, we develop an algorithm to determine explicitly, the state feedback control law which minimi...
