• Authors: Maria Carvalho and Claudia Soares and Pedro Louren\c{c}o and Rodrigo Ventura
• Abstract summary: We introduce a closed-form method for identification of discrete-time linear timevariant systems from data. We develop an algorithm with guarantees of optimality and with a complexity that increases linearly with the number of instants considered per trajectory. Our algorithm was applied to both a Low Fidelity and Functional Engineering Simulators for the Comet Interceptor mission.

• Abstract: We introduce a closed-form method for identification of discrete-time linear time-variant systems from data, formulating the learning problem as a regularized least squares problem where the regularizer favors smooth solutions within a trajectory. We develop a closed-form algorithm with guarantees of optimality and with a complexity that increases linearly with the number of instants considered per trajectory. The COSMIC algorithm achieves the desired result even in the presence of large volumes of data. Our method solved the problem using two orders of magnitude less computational power than a general purpose convex solver and was about 3 times faster than a Stochastic Block Coordinate Descent especially designed method. Computational times of our method remained in the order of magnitude of the second even for 10k and 100k time instants, where the general purpose solver crashed. To prove its applicability to real world systems, we test with spring-mass-damper system and use the estimated model to find the optimal control path. Our algorithm was applied to both a Low Fidelity and Functional Engineering Simulators for the Comet Interceptor mission, that requires precise pointing of the on-board cameras in a fast dynamics environment. Thus, this paper provides a fast alternative to classical system identification techniques for linear time-variant systems, while proving to be a solid base for applications in the Space industry and a step forward to the incorporation of algorithms that leverage data in such a safety-critical environment.

  Non-rigid registration, which deforms a source shape in a non-rigid way to align with a target shape, is a classical problem in computer vision. Existing methods typically adopt the $ell_p$ type robust norm to measure the alignment error and regularize the smoothness of deformation. We propose a formulation for robust non-rigid registration based on a globally smooth robust norm for alignment and regularization.
