RESUMEN
This research delves into the challenges of achieving secure consensus tracking within multi-agent systems characterized by directed hypergraph topologies, in the face of hybrid deception attacks. The hybrid discrete and continuous deception attacks are targeted at the controller communication channels and the hyperedges, respectively. To overcome these threats, an impulsive control mechanism based on hypergraph theory are introduced, and sufficient conditions are established, under which consensus can be maintained in a mean-square bounded sense, supported by rigorous mathematical proofs. Furthermore, the investigation quantifies the relationship between the mean-square bounded consensus of the multi-agent system and the intensity of the deception attacks, delineating a specific range for this error metric. The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed control method are verified through comprehensive simulation experiments, demonstrating its applicability in varied scenarios influenced by these sophisticated attacks. This study underscores the potential of hypergraph-based strategies in enhancing system resilience against complex hybrid attacks.
RESUMEN
The finite-horizon optimal secure tracking control (FHOSTC) problem for cyber-physical systems under actuator denial-of-service (DoS) attacks is addressed in this paper. A model-free method based on the Q-function is designed to achieve FHOSTC without the system model information. First, an augmented time-varying Riccati equation (TVRE) is derived by integrating the system with the reference system into a unified augmented system. Then, a lower bound on malicious DoS attacks probability that guarantees the solutions of the TVRE is provided. Third, a Q-function that changes over time (time-varying Q-function, TVQF) is devised. A TVQF-based method is then proposed to solve the TVRE without the need for the knowledge of the augmented system dynamics. The developed method works backward-in-time and uses the least-squares method. To validate the performance and features of the developed method, simulation studies are conducted in the end.
RESUMEN
In this paper, a cutting-edge video target tracking system is proposed, combining feature location and blockchain technology. The location method makes full use of feature registration and received trajectory correction signals to achieve high accuracy in tracking targets. The system leverages the power of blockchain technology to address the challenge of insufficient accuracy in tracking occluded targets, by organizing the video target tracking tasks in a secure and decentralized manner. To further enhance the accuracy of small target tracking, the system uses adaptive clustering to guide the target location process across different nodes. In addition, the paper also presents an unmentioned trajectory optimization post-processing approach, which is based on result stabilization, effectively reducing inter-frame jitter. This post-processing step plays a crucial role in maintaining a smooth and stable track of the target, even in challenging scenarios such as fast movements or significant occlusions. Experimental results on CarChase2 (TLP) and basketball stand advertisements (BSA) datasets show that the proposed feature location method is better than the existing methods, achieving a recall of 51% (27.96+) and a precision of 66.5% (40.04+) in the CarChase2 dataset and recall of 85.52 (11.75+)% and precision of 47.48 (39.2+)% in the BSA dataset. Moreover, the proposed video target tracking and correction model performs better than the existing tracking model, showing a recall of 97.1% and a precision of 92.6% in the CarChase2 dataset and an average recall of 75.9% and mAP of 82.87% in the BSA dataset, respectively. The proposed system presents a comprehensive solution for video target tracking, offering high accuracy, robustness, and stability. The combination of robust feature location, blockchain technology, and trajectory optimization post-processing makes it a promising approach for a wide range of video analytics applications, such as surveillance, autonomous driving, and sports analysis.
