A data-driven mathematical model of motion is very meaningful to realize trajectory prediction and adaptive motion control of the USV. An interactive identification algorithm (ESO–MILS, extended state observer–multi-innovation least squares) based on ESO is proposed. The robustness of online identification is improved by expanding the state observer to estimate the current disturbance without making artificial assumptions. Specifically, the three-degree-of-freedom dynamic equation of the double propeller propulsion USV is constructed. A linear model for online identification is derived by parameterization. Based on the least square criterion function, it is proved that the interactive identification method with disturbance estimation can improve the identification accuracy from the perspective of mathematical expectation. The extended state observer is designed to estimate the unknown disturbance in the model. The online interactive update improves the disturbance immunity of the identification algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the interactive identification algorithm is verified by simulation experiment and real ship experiment.展开更多

文摘In current neural network algorithms for nuclide identification in high-background,poor-resolution detectors,traditional network paradigms including back-propagation networks,convolutional neural networks,recurrent neural networks,etc.,have been limited in research on γ spectrum analysis because of their inherent mathematical mechanisms.It is difficult to make progress in terms of training data requirements and prediction accuracy.In contrast to traditional network paradigms,network models based on the transformer structure have the characteristics of parallel computing,position encoding,and deep stacking,which have enabled good performance in natural language processing tasks in recent years.Therefore,in this paper,a transformer-based neural network (TBNN) model is proposed to achieve nuclide identification for the first time.First,the Geant4 program was used to generate the basic single-nuclide energy spectrum through Monte Carlo simulations.A multi-nuclide energy spectrum database was established for neural network training using random matrices of γ-ray energy,activity,and noise.Based on the encoder–decoder structure,a network topology based on the transformer was built,transforming the 1024-channel energy spectrum data into a 32×32 energy spectrum sequence as the model input.Through experiments and adjustments of model parameters,including the learning rate of the TBNN model,number of attention heads,and number of network stacking layers,the overall recognition rate reached 98.7%.Additionally,this database was used for training AI models such as back-propagation networks,convolutional neural networks,residual networks,and long shortterm memory neural networks,with overall recognition rates of 92.8%,95.3%,96.3%,and 96.6%,respectively.This indicates that the TBNN model exhibited better nuclide identification among these AI models,providing an important reference and theoretical basis for the practical application of transformers in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the γ spectrum.

文摘The efficiency of tunnel excavation,rock strength,stability of surrounding rock,and underground engineering disasters are closely related to lithology.Accurately identifying lithology is a necessary prerequisite for intelligent,safe,and efficient tunnel construction.The design of conventional recognition models heavily relies on experience and extensive calculations.To develop a model suitable for deployment on construction sites and capable of accurate lithology identification,a fast search method for lithology identification models is proposed.This method integrates geological knowledge,apparent feature extraction techniques,and search algorithms.An efficient feature extraction super network using multi-scale geological features of rock surface is constructed,a model evaluation method that comprehensively considers accuracy and latency is developed,and differential evolution algorithm is used to search for the optimal model parameters.Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method enables the model to evolve faster and more accurately,and eventually a model(LithoNet)suitable for lithological classification is found.It only takes 2.10 ms to infer an image of 224×224,which is 57.25%faster than MobileNet v3 and 62.83%faster than ShuffleNet V2.The F1-score of LithoNet is 0.9874,surpassing classical models such as EfficientNetV2-S.LithoNet can be easily deployed on portable devices,effectively promoting the intelligence and accuracy of lithology identification at engineering sites.

文摘To enhance the recognition accuracy of current network models for apple leaf diseases,a lightweight model that leverages an enhanced MobileNetV3-Small architecture is introduced in this study.The improved model utilizes MobileNetV3-Small,a lightweight architecture with fewer parameters,serving as the primary network for feature extraction.It integrates a weighted bi-directional feature pyramid network that fuses multi-scale features,thereby enhancing the model's capacity to detect disease characteristics across various scales.Additionally,an efficient multi-scale attention mechanism is integrated to mitigate the influence of complex background noise in natural environments,further improving disease recognition accuracy.The experiment utilizes the AppleLeaf9 public dataset to classify healthy apple leaves and eight distinct disease types.The results indicate that,when using the augmented dataset,the improved model achieves a recognition accuracy of 95.98%,with only 1.72 M parameters,123.16 M FLOPs,and an inference time of just 14.10 ms.Compared with eight other lightweight neural network models,including MobileNetV2,ShuffleNet_v2_1.5×,ResNet50,MobileNetV3-Large,EfficientNet-B0,MobileNetV3-Small,MobileNetV4-Conv-Small,and MobileNetV4-Conv-Medium,the improved model demonstrates superior accuracy.In particular,the proposed model achieves a recognition accuracy improvement of 0.93 percentage points compared with the baseline MobileNetV3-Small model.The optimized model introduced in this study effectively improves the accuracy in identifying diseases in apple leaves,while maintaining a low parameter count and fast inference speed,thus offering a novel approach for deploying disease recognition models on agricultural electronic devices.

文摘The identification of rock mass discontinuities is critical for rock mass characterization.While high-resolution digital outcrop models(DOMs)are widely used,current digital methods struggle to generalize across diverse geological settings.Large-scale models(LSMs),with vast parameter spaces and extensive training datasets,excel in solving complex visual problems.This study explores the potential of using one such LSM,Segment anything model(SAM),to identify facet-type discontinuities across several outcrops via interactive prompting.The findings demonstrate that SAM effectively segments two-dimensional(2D)discontinuities,with its generalization capability validated on a dataset of 2426 identified discontinuities across 170 outcrops.The model achieves 0.78 mean IoU and 0.86 average precision using 11-point prompts.To extend to three dimensions(3D),a framework integrating SAM with Structure-from-Motion(SfM)was proposed.By utilizing the inherent but often overlooked relationship between image pixels and point clouds in SfM,the identification process was simplified and generalized across photogrammetric devices.Benchmark studies showed that the framework achieved 0.91 average precision,identifying 87 discontinuities in Dataset-3D.The results confirm its high precision and efficiency,making it a valuable tool for data annotation.The proposed method offers a practical solution for geological investigations.

文摘To solve the problems of redundant feature information,the insignificant difference in feature representation,and low recognition accuracy of the fine-grained image,based on the ResNeXt50 model,an MSFResNet network model is proposed by fusing multi-scale feature information.Firstly,a multi-scale feature extraction module is designed to obtain multi-scale information on feature images by using different scales of convolution kernels.Meanwhile,the channel attention mechanism is used to increase the global information acquisition of the network.Secondly,the feature images processed by the multi-scale feature extraction module are fused with the deep feature images through short links to guide the full learning of the network,thus reducing the loss of texture details of the deep network feature images,and improving network generalization ability and recognition accuracy.Finally,the validity of the MSFResNet model is verified using public datasets and applied to wild mushroom identification.Experimental results show that compared with ResNeXt50 network model,the accuracy of the MSFResNet model is improved by 6.01%on the FGVC-Aircraft common dataset.It achieves 99.13%classification accuracy on the wild mushroom dataset,which is 0.47%higher than ResNeXt50.Furthermore,the experimental results of the thermal map show that the MSFResNet model significantly reduces the interference of background information,making the network focus on the location of the main body of wild mushroom,which can effectively improve the accuracy of wild mushroom identification.

文摘Climate change and human activities are primary drivers of runoff variations,significantly impacting the hydrological balance of river basins.In recent decades,the Yellow River Basin,China has experienced a marked decline in runoff,posing challenges to the sustainable development of regional water resources and ecosystem stability.To enhance the understanding of runoff dynamics in the basin,we selected the Dahei River Basin,a representative tributary in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin as the study area.A comprehensive analysis of runoff trends and contributing factors was conducted using the data on hydrology,meteorology,and water resource development and utilization.Abrupt change years of runoff series in the Dahei River Basin was identified by the Mann-Kendall and Pettitt tests:1999 at Dianshang,Qixiaying,and Meidai hydrological stations and 1995 at Sanliang hydrological station.Through hydrological simulations based on the Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC)model,we quantified the factors driving runoff evolution in the Dahei River Basin,with climate change contributing 9.92%–22.91%and human activities contributing 77.09%–90.08%.The Budyko hypothesis method provided similar results,with climate change contributing 13.06%–20.89%and human activities contributing 79.11%–86.94%.Both methods indicated that human activities,particularly water consumption,were dominant factors in the runoff variations of the Dahei River Basin.The integration of hydrological modeling with attribution analysis offers valuable insights into runoff evolution,facilitating adaptive strategies to mitigate water scarcity in arid and semi-arid areas.

文摘A dual-arm nursing robot can gently lift patients and transfer them between a bed and a wheelchair.With its lightweight design,high load-bearing capacity,and smooth surface,the coupled-drive joint is particularly well suited for these robots.However,the coupled nature of the joint disrupts the direct linear relationship between the input and output torques,posing challenges for dynamic modeling and practical applications.This study investigated the transmission mechanism of this joint and employed the Lagrangian method to construct a dynamic model of its internal dynamics.Building on this foundation,the Newton-Euler method was used to develop a dynamic model for the entire robotic arm.A continuously differentiable friction model was incorporated to reduce the vibrations caused by speed transitions to zero.An experimental method was designed to compensate for gravity,inertia,and modeling errors to identify the parameters of the friction model.This method establishes a mapping relationship between the friction force and motor current.In addition,a Fourier series-based excitation trajectory was developed to facilitate the identification of the dynamic model parameters of the robotic arm.Trajectory tracking experiments were conducted during the experimental validation phase,demonstrating the high accuracy of the dynamic model and the parameter identification method for the robotic arm.This study presents a dynamic modeling and parameter identification method for coupled-drive joint robotic arms,thereby establishing a foundation for motion control in humanoid nursing robots.

文摘Delamination is a prevalent type of damage in composite laminate structures.Its accumulation degrades structural performance and threatens the safety and integrity of aircraft.This study presents a method for the quantitative identification of delamination identification in composite materials,leveraging distributed optical fiber sensors and a model updating approach.Initially,a numerical analysis is performed to establish a parameterized finite element model of the composite plate.Then,this model subsequently generates a database of strain responses corresponding to damage of varying sizes and locations.The radial basis function neural network surrogate model is then constructed based on the numerical simulation results and strain responses captured from the distributed fiber optic sensors.Finally,a multi-island genetic algorithm is employed for global optimization to identify the size and location of the damage.The efficacy of the proposed method is validated through numerical examples and experiment studies,examining the correlations between damage location,damage size,and strain responses.The findings confirm that the model updating technique,in conjunction with distributed fiber optic sensors,can precisely identify delamination in composite structures.

文摘A hybrid identification model based on multilayer artificial neural networks(ANNs) and particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm is developed to improve the simultaneous identification efficiency of thermal conductivity and effective absorption coefficient of semitransparent materials.For the direct model,the spherical harmonic method and the finite volume method are used to solve the coupled conduction-radiation heat transfer problem in an absorbing,emitting,and non-scattering 2D axisymmetric gray medium in the background of laser flash method.For the identification part,firstly,the temperature field and the incident radiation field in different positions are chosen as observables.Then,a traditional identification model based on PSO algorithm is established.Finally,multilayer ANNs are built to fit and replace the direct model in the traditional identification model to speed up the identification process.The results show that compared with the traditional identification model,the time cost of the hybrid identification model is reduced by about 1 000 times.Besides,the hybrid identification model remains a high level of accuracy even with measurement errors.

文摘Subject identification via the subject’s gait is challenging due to variations in the subject’s carrying and dressing conditions in real-life scenes.This paper proposes a novel targeted 3-dimensional(3D)gait model(3DGait)represented by a set of interpretable 3DGait descriptors based on a 3D parametric body model.The 3DGait descriptors are utilised as invariant gait features in the 3DGait recognition method to address object carrying and dressing.The 3DGait recognitionmethod involves 2-dimensional(2D)to 3DGaitdata learningbasedon3Dvirtual samples,a semantic gait parameter estimation Long Short Time Memory(LSTM)network(3D-SGPE-LSTM),a feature fusion deep model based on a multi-set canonical correlation analysis,and SoftMax recognition network.First,a sensory experiment based on 3D body shape and pose deformation with 3D virtual dressing is used to fit 3DGait onto the given 2D gait images.3Dinterpretable semantic parameters control the 3D morphing and dressing involved.Similarity degree measurement determines the semantic descriptors of 2D gait images of subjects with various shapes,poses and styles.Second,using the 2D gait images as input and the subjects’corresponding 3D semantic descriptors as output,an end-to-end 3D-SGPE-LSTM is constructed and trained.Third,body shape,pose and external gait factors(3D-eFactors)are estimated using the 3D-SGPE-LSTM model to create a set of interpretable gait descriptors to represent the 3DGait Model,i.e.,3D intrinsic semantic shape descriptor(3DShape);3D skeleton-based gait pose descriptor(3D-Pose)and 3D dressing with other 3D-eFators.Finally,the 3D-Shape and 3D-Pose descriptors are coupled to a unified pattern space by learning prior knowledge from the 3D-eFators.Practical research on CASIA B,CMU MoBo,TUM GAID and GPJATK databases shows that 3DGait is robust against object carrying and dressing variations,especially under multi-cross variations.

文摘Exoskeletons generally require accurate dynamic models to design the model-based controller conveniently under the human-robot interaction condition.However,due to unknown model parameters such as the mass,moment of inertia and mechanical size,the dynamic model of exoskeletons is difficult to construct.Hence,an enhanced whale optimization algorithm(EWOA)is proposed to identify the exoskeleton model parameters.Meanwhile,the periodic excitation trajectories are designed by finite Fourier series to input the desired position demand of exoskeletons with mechanical physical constraints.Then a backstepping controller based on the identified model is adopted to improve the human-robot wearable comfortable performance under cooperative motion.Finally,the proposed Model parameters identification and control are verified by a two-DOF exoskeletons platform.The knee joint motion achieves a steady-state response after 0.5 s.Meanwhile,the position error of hip joint response is less than 0.03 rad after 0.9 s.In addition,the steady-state human-robot interaction torque of the two joints is constrained within 15 N·m.This research proposes a whale optimization algorithm to optimize the excitation trajectory and identify model parameters.Furthermore,an enhanced mutation strategy is adopted to avoid whale evolution’s unsatisfactory local optimal value.

文摘In this paper, the online parameter identification problem of the mathematical model of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) considering the characteristics of the actuator is studied. A data-driven mathematical model of motion is very meaningful to realize trajectory prediction and adaptive motion control of the USV. An interactive identification algorithm (ESO–MILS, extended state observer–multi-innovation least squares) based on ESO is proposed. The robustness of online identification is improved by expanding the state observer to estimate the current disturbance without making artificial assumptions. Specifically, the three-degree-of-freedom dynamic equation of the double propeller propulsion USV is constructed. A linear model for online identification is derived by parameterization. Based on the least square criterion function, it is proved that the interactive identification method with disturbance estimation can improve the identification accuracy from the perspective of mathematical expectation. The extended state observer is designed to estimate the unknown disturbance in the model. The online interactive update improves the disturbance immunity of the identification algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the interactive identification algorithm is verified by simulation experiment and real ship experiment.
