In this paper, the stability of polynomial fuzzy-model-based (PFMB) observercontrol system is investigated via Lyapunov stability theory. The polynomial fuzzy observer with unmeasurable premise variables is designed to estimate the system states. Then the estimated system states are used for the state-feedback control of nonlinear systems. Although the consideration of the polynomial fuzzy model and unmeasurable premise variables enhances the applicability of the fuzzy-model-based (FMB) control strategy, it leads to non-convex stability conditions. Therefore, the refined completing square approach is proposed to derive convex stability conditions in the form of sum of squares (SOS) with less manually designed parameters. In addition, the membership functions of the polynomial observer-controller are optimized by the improved gradient descent method, which outperforms the widely applied parallel distributed compensation (PDC) approach according to a general performance index. Simulation examples are provided to verify the proposed design and optimization scheme.

Quantitative analysis through image processing is a key step to gain information regarding the microstructure of materials. In this paper, we develop a deep learning-based method to address the task of image segmentation for microscopic images using an Al-La alloy. Our work makes three key contributions. (1) We train a deep convolutional neural network based on DeepLab to achieve image segmentation and have significant results. (2) We adopt a local processing method based on symmetric overlap-tile strategy which makes it possible to analyze the microscopic images with high resolution. Additionally, it achieves seamless segmentation. (3) We apply symmetric rectification to enhance the accuracy of results with 3D information. Experimental results showed that our method outperforms existing segmentation methods.
