Vision is an effective robotic sensor, since it imitates the human perception of vision and allows for non-contact measurement of the environment. The camera as a vision sensor can be employed to manipulate the robotic arm in 3D world. This means that the camera is a tool by which the robot manipulator positions itself―this is referred to as visual servoing. The visual servo systems considered in this thesis are known to have dynamic environment. Hence, uncalibrated visual servoing, convergence, saturation and robust stability are the main issues that provide basis for the methods proposed in this thesis. The research undertaken is divided into four phases. In the first phase, an independent joint Proportional-Derivative (PD) control scheme for n-link serial manipulator is developed. The sole purpose of the PD type controller is to track the reference trajectory in joint space and compare its performance with the Computed Torque Controller (CTC). These controllers work independent of vision, solely to evaluate the performance of the manipulator in terms of its accuracy and precision. The second method presents a model-independent vision-guided robotic control method based upon Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization. The proposed scheme is considered the first rigorously developed scheme that employs LMI for Image-based paradigm in an uncalibrated environment. The aim lies in developing such a method that neither involves camera calibration parameters nor inverse kinematics. The proposed Proportional based visual servo control scheme includes transpose Jacobian control; thus, inverse of the Jacobian matrix is no longer required. LMI based optimization scheme is utilized, which estimates the composite Jacobian at each step. The composite Jacobian, that relates differential changes in the robot joint angles to differential changes in the image plane, is an amalgamation of image and robot Jacobian. The third method proposed in this thesis computes the composite Jacobian by considering the kinematic and visibility constraints, which are incorporated to the system by means of input and output saturation. The proposed controller stabilizes the camera despite the unknown value of the target point depth. To make sure that the features remain in the camera field of view, and to restrict the controller’s input using some bounds, visibility and kinematic constraints are introduced in the form of LMIs. Closed-loop stability of the system is ensured using Lyapunov’s direct method. Sector boundedness condition is also added to Lyapunov. Inclusion of these constraints helps to avoid any real damage to the robot. Moreover, features remain visible throughout and the servoing would not fail. The last method developed in this thesis presents the methodology to the robust stability of a vision-based control loop in an unknown environment. The type of uncertainty included is the parametric uncertainty. The proposed method allows the analysis of uncertain nonlinear system by representing it in differential-algebraic form. By invoking suitable system representation and Lyapunov analysis, the stability conditions are described in terms of LMI to ensure the stability of uncertain nonlinear system. These methods have their applications in an uncalibrated environment, where monocular vision is rigidly attached to the manipulator''s end-effector. In order to steer the camera, desired visual features are extracted by placing the camera at the desired location. The visual servo control directly inputs the feature error vector, which is the difference between the initial and desired features. Various simulation results are shown for validating these schemes by applying them to different serial links robot manipulators. These methods proved to be dynamic, robust, accurate and efficient in the presence of large errors. Keywords: eye-in-hand, image-based visual servoing, nonlinear, uncalibrated, linear matrix inequality, multi-constraint, robustness analysis, uncertainty, differential- algebraic equation, convex optimization.

Machine Vision based Computer-Aided Detection of Pulmonary Tuberculosis using Chest X-Ray Images

Tuberculosis (TB) is a lethal disease and developing countries are struggling to overcome this health hazard especially in rural areas and faced globally. Therefore, serious measures are required to reduce this global health hazard. Millary and pulmonary are the most common types of tuberculosis occurring globally. X-ray is the preliminary method to detect tuberculosis; however, the diagnosis is quite often subject to human error. In contrast, the chances of curing Tuberculosis depend on its timely and accurate diagnosis. Therefore, an intelligent machine learning algorithm is developed in this study to assist the clinician in an accurate TB identification in x-ray images. The proposed method pre-processes the X-ray image, enhances its quality and extracts the features of each class which are further passed on to a Deep Convolutional Neural Network-based design for the X-ray image classification, followed by the identification of the tuberculosis type i.e. Millary, Cavitary, Healthy. The classification accuracy for the developed method resulted in 88% and 89% for millary and cavitary TB diseases in x ray images.

Fixed Point Theory in Modular Function Spaces

Fixed point theory has been a flourishing area of mathematical research for decades, because of its many diverse applications. It is a combination of geometry, topology and analysis. This theory has been discovered as a very influential and essential mechanism in learning of nonlinear phenomena. It has a lot of applications in almost all branches of mathematical sciences, for example, proving the existence of solutions of ODE’S, PDE’S, integral equations, system of linear equations, closed orbit of dynamical systems and of equilibria in economics. In particular fixed point techniques have been applied in such different fields as economics, engineering biology, physics and chemistry. It has very fruitful applications in control theory, game theory, category theory, mathematical economics, mathematical physics, functional equations, integral equations, mathematical chemistry, mathematical biology, W* algebra, functional analysis and many other areas. The concept of fixed point plays a key role in analysis. Also, fixed point theorems are mainly used in existence theory of random differential equations, numerical methods like Newton-Rapshon method and Picard’s existence theorem and in other related areas. Fixed point theorems based on the consideration of order have importance in algebra, the theory of automata, mathematical linguistics, linear functional analysis, approximation theory and theory of critical points. Fixed point theorems play a key role in applications of variational inequalities, linear inequalities, optimization techniques and approximation theory. Thus the theory of fixed point has been studied by many researchers extensively. From the perspective of different settings, methods and applications, the fixed point theory is typically separated into three main branches: (i) Metric fixed point theory. (ii) Topological fixed point theory. (iii) Discrete fixed point theory. In history the boundary lines between the aforesaid three branches was defined by the creation of the following three main theorems: (i) Banach’s Fixed Point Theorem (1922). (ii) Brouwer’s Fixed Point Theorem (1912). (iii) Tarski’s Fixed Point Theorem (1955). Fixed point theory in modular function spaces is closely related to the metric theory, in that it provides modular equivalents of norm and metric concepts. Modular spaces are extensions of the classical Lebesgue and Orlicz spaces, and in many instances conditions cast in this framework are more natural and more easily verified than their metric analogs.
