• Luenberger observer and MRAS algorithm to estimate the load characteristic parameter changes. • Cost Function with PI term of the speed error to eliminate steady-state speed error and improve the robustness of FCS-MPDSC parameters. • Finite control set model predictive direct speed control (FCS-MPDSC) to achieve fast speed response performance. Model predictive control (MPC) is an advanced control method that relies on a mathematical model containing the motor parameters in the field of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) application. However, the internal parameters of the motor and external load characteristic parameters are uncertain, and their actual values ​​may be inconsistent with the nominal values, resulting in prediction errors, which in turn affect the performance of the control algorithm. Based on the analysis of the parameter sensitivity of the motor prediction model, traditional finite control set model predictive direct speed controller (FCS-MPDSC) predicts state parameters based on a mathematical model, and there is a problem that the parameters of the motor model are uncertain, which will lead to prediction errors. In order to improve the robustness of FCS-MPDSC parameters, this paper proposes an improved FCS-MPDSC for PMSM application, which abandons the traditional PMSM control cascade structure and has the advantages of fast speed response performance, small speed error and strong parameter robustness. In order to solve the problem of load characteristic parameter uncertainty, Luenberger observer and the Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) algorithm are used to estimate the variation of load characteristic parameters in this paper. Moreover, a proportional-integral (PI) control term of speed error is introduced into the cost function to achieve the zero steady state error of speed and torque, which make full use of the robustness of integral action and also a faster dynamic response of direct speed control is maintained. In this paper, the HIL experimental platform is built according to the simulation. The proposed method reduces the steady-state error of the traditional method under the parameter mismatch. When the inductance parameter and the permanent magnet flux parameters deviate two times larger than nominal values, the steady-state error of the motor speed are 0.1125% and 0.8725%, respectively, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

An improved Harris corner detection algorithm is proposed based on Barron operator, since Harris corner detection algorithm has a poor accuracy in positioning complex corner detection and may miss certain real corners. Firstly, the image gradient is calculated by using Barron operator to reduce the calculation errors from Prewitt operator or Sobel operator. Secondly, the centre B-spline function is used to smooth image, filter noise, and retain the corners information better. Thirdly, a non-maximal inhibition and corners sieving method is used to determine whether the detected corners are real corners or not. A square window is centered at the pixel and eliminate the corner if the value of the corner response function is non-maximal in the window. And then divide the test image into several blocks so as to process each block independently, and use a cyclic iterative method to determine the threshold value to make sure that the real corners are accurately selected. Finally, experiments indicate the algorithm has relatively great noise proof ability and is able to extract complex corners effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
