Instantaneous rainfall estimation using neural network from multispectral observations of SEVIRI radiometer and its application in estimation of daily and monthly rainfall

In the present paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) based technique has been developed to estimate instantaneous rainfall by using brightness temperature from the IR sensors of SEVIRI radiometer, onboard Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite. The study is carried out over north of Algeria. For estimation of rainfall, weight matrices of two ANNs namely MLP1 and MLP2 are developed. MLP1 is to identify raining or non-raining pixels. When rainy pixels are identified, then for those pixels, instantaneous rainfall is estimated by using MLP2. For identification of raining and non raining pixels, 7 input parameters from the IR sensors are utilized. Corresponding data of raining/non-raining pixels are taken from radar. For instantaneous rainfall estimation, 14 input parameters are utilized, where 7 parameters are information about raining pixels and 7 parameters are related with cloud features. The results obtained show the neural network performs reasonably well.     

Strong geomagnetic activity forecast by neural networks under dominant southern orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field

The paper deals with the relation of the southern orientation of the north–south component _Bz$B_z$ of the interplanetary magnetic field to geomagnetic activity (GA) and subsequently a method is suggested of using the found facts to forecast potentially dangerous high GA. We have found that on a day with very high GA hourly averages of _Bz$B_z$ with a negative sign occur at least 16 times in typical cases. Since it is very difficult to estimate the orientation of _Bz$B_z$ in the immediate vicinity of the Earth one day or even a few days in advance, we have suggested using a neural-network model, which assumes the worse of the possibilities to forecast the danger of high GA – the dominant southern orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field. The input quantities of the proposed model were information about X-ray flares, type II and IV radio bursts as well as information about coronal mass ejections (CME). In comparing the GA forecasts with observations, we obtain values of the Hanssen–Kuiper skill score ranging from 0.463 to 0.727, which are usual values for similar forecasts of space weather. The proposed model provides forecasts of potentially dangerous high geomagnetic activity should the interplanetary CME (ICME), the originator of geomagnetic storms, hit the Earth under the most unfavorable configuration of cosmic magnetic fields. We cannot know in advance whether the unfavorable configuration is going to occur or not; we just know that it will occur with the probability of 31%.

Online scheduling of distributed Earth observation satellite system under rigid communication constraints

This paper focused on online scheduling of distributed Earth observation satellite system in a dynamic environment. The objective was to maximize the total profit of the overall system by efficiently coordinating the different satellites with stochastic arrival of urgent tasks, subject to rigid communication and observation time window constraints. We formulated this problem as a single-task, single-robot, time-extended assignment problem with intra-schedule dependency using the multi-robot task assignment taxonomy and formulated the sub-problem after releasing urgent tasks in a mixed-integer linear programming model. We first described the online scheduling algorithm for a single satellite, then we proposed the modified consensus-based bundle algorithm (m-CBBA) and modified asynchronous consensus-based bundle algorithm (m-ACBBA) with synchronous and asynchronous communication, respectively. Compared with initial versions of CBBA and ACBBA, the modified versions added the communication loop prediction phases to efficiently utilize scarce communication opportunities and reduce the communication requirements. Additionally, we introduce two contract net protocol (CNP)-based algorithms for comparison, respectively SingleItem-CNP-based (SI-CNP) algorithm and Batch-CNP-based (BA-CNP) algorithm. Computational experiments indicated that both the total profit and percentage of scheduled urgent tasks achieved by the m-ACBBA and m-CBBA algorithms were much higher than those achieved by both SI-CNP and BA-CNP. Additionally, the number of communications needed by either m-ACBBA or m-CBBA algorithm was lower than that by SI-CNP. When the communication cost in the system is high, the m-CBBA algorithm is preferred because it balances the profit and the required number of communications. When the communication cost is low, the m-ACBBA algorithm is preferred because it achieves high total profit and high percentage of scheduled urgent tasks.     

基于自适应迭代学习的小行星绕飞容错控制

对于小行星绕飞任务的探测器姿态控制问题,已有方法大都考虑了干扰力矩和参数不确定等因素,而忽视了执行器故障情况。针对执行器故障条件下的小行星探测器姿态控制问题,提出了一种基于自适应迭代学习的容错控制方法。所设计的控制器包括两部分：其一针对执行器故障,设计了自适应迭代学习控制器,采用类滑模的思想和自适应迭代学习算法对控制器参数进行调整,进而补偿执行器故障带来的影响,保证系统在控制输出不足情况下的高精度姿态稳定性;其二针对探测器参量变化、外部环境干扰等不确定情况,设计了基于自适应神经网络的迭代学习控制器,采用径向基函数（RadialBasisFunction,RBF）神经网络对系统非线性部分进行逼近,同时对控制器参数进行自适应迭代学习调整,进而保证系统在不确定情况下的动态性能。数值仿真结果表明该控制器能够有效抑制外部环境干扰和内部参数变化带来的不利影响,在执行器部分失效甚至完全失效故障情况下,仍能保证系统的鲁棒性并实现误差在10^-2数量级内的较高姿态控制精度。

利用人工神经网络快速计算木星系磁坐标

在木星辐射带研究中,从地理坐标向磁坐标的准确转换是建模基础.以往的建模中,磁壳参数L值的计算基于磁偶极场假设,该方法精确度较差.结合最新的高精度木星磁场模型JRM09,本文提出基于磁力线追踪法的木星磁坐标计算方法,并分析其合理性和必要性.要求精确度较高时,磁力线追踪法计算耗时很长.本文在磁力线追踪法的基础上进行改进,提出基于人工神经网络的磁坐标快速计算方法.该方法包括分类器和拟合器.分类器基于Adaboost算法的BP神经网络,用于预测某地理坐标是否在内磁层,如果在内磁层,则用拟合器计算L值.拟合器采用遗传算法优化BP神经网络.结果表明,分类器的分类错误率在3%以内,而拟合器的预测误差在7%以内.以Juno号一圈探测轨道为例,利用神经网络的磁坐标计算法比磁力线追踪计算法速度快3个数量级以上.基于人工神经网络的磁坐标快速计算方法可用于未来木星辐射带的研究.
