Multi-Spacecraft Formation Control Under False Data Injection Attack: A Cross Layer Fuzzy Game Approach
In this paper, we address a cross-layer resilient control issue for a kind of multi-spacecraft system (MSS) under attack. Attackers with bad intentions use the false data injection (FDI) attack to prevent the MSS from reaching the goal of consensus. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the control, the...

A Multi-Type Feature Fusion Network Based on Importance Weighting for Occluded Human Pose Estimation
Human pose estimation is a challenging task in computer vision. Most algorithms perform well in regular scenes, but lack good performance in occlusion scenarios. Therefore, we propose a multi-type feature fusion network based on importance weighting, which consists of three modules. In the first module, we propose a multi-resolution backbone...

Dissecting and Mitigating Semantic Discrepancy in Stable Diffusion for Image-to-Image Translation
Finding suitable initial noise that retains the original image's information is crucial for image-to-image (I2I) translation using text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models. A common approach is to add random noise directly to the original image, as in SDEdit. However, we have observed that this can result in “semantic discrepancy” issues, wherein...

$mathrm{E}^{2}text{AG}$: Entropy-Regularized Ensemble Adaptive Graph for Industrial Soft Sensor Modeling
Adaptive graph neural networks (AGNNs) have achieved remarkable success in industrial process soft sensing by incorporating explicit features that delineate the relationships between process variables. This article introduces a novel GNN framework, termed entropy-regularized ensemble adaptive graph $(mathbf{E}^{mathbf{2}}mathbf{AG})$, aimed at enhancing the predictive accuracy of AGNNs. Specifically, this work pioneers...

Chattering-Free Fault-Tolerant Cluster Control and Fault Direction Identification for HIL UAV Swarm with Pre-Specified Performance
In this paper, the problem of pre-specified performance fault-tolerant cluster consensus control and fault direction identification is solved for the human-in-the-loop (HIL) swarm unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of possible non-identical and unknown direction faults (NUDFs) in the yaw chan-nel. The control strategy begins with the design of...

Adaptive Control of a Flexible Manipulator with Unknown Hysteresis and Intermittent Actuator Faults
In this study, we consider a single-link flexible manipulator in the presence of an unknown Bouc-Wen type of hysteresis and intermittent actuator faults. First, an inverse hysteresis dynamics model is introduced, and then the control input is divided into an expected input and an error compensator. Second, a novel adaptive...

Detection of Perfect Stealthy Attacks on Cyber-Physical Systems Subject to Measurement Quantizations: A Watermark-Based Strategy
In this paper, the attack detection problem is inves-tigated for a class of closed-loop systems subjected to unknown-but-bounded noises in the presence of stealthy attacks. The measurement outputs from the sensors are quantized before transmission. A specific type of perfect stealthy attack, which meets certain rather stringent conditions, is taken...

Decentralized Federated Learning Algorithm Under Adversary Eavesdropping
In this paper, we study the decentralized federated learning problem, which involves the collaborative training of a global model among multiple devices while ensuring data privacy. In classical federated learning, the communication channel between the devices poses a potential risk of compromising private information. To reduce the risk of adversary...
