Near-optimal paths in static and dynamic environments with underwater obstacles are computed using a numerical solution procedure based on an A* algorithm. The USV is modeled with a circular shape in 2 degrees of freedom(surge and yaw). In this paper, two-dimensional(2-D) underwater obstacle avoidance and the robust real-time path re-planning technique for actual USV using multi-beam FLS are developed. Our real-time path re-planning algorithm has been tested to regenerate the optimal path for several updated frames in the field of view of the sonar with a proper update frequency of the FLS. The performance of the proposed method was verified through simulations, and sea experiments. For simulations, the USV model can avoid both a single stationary obstacle, multiple stationary obstacles and moving obstacles with the near-optimal trajectory that are performed both in the vehicle and the world reference frame. For sea experiments, the proposed method for an underwater obstacle avoidance system is implemented with a USV test platform. The actual USV is automatically controlled and succeeded in its real-time avoidance against the stationary undersea obstacle in the field of view of the FLS together with the Global Positioning System(GPS) of the USV.展开更多

Currently, the method used to monitor and controlspreading thickness during the dam construction process is artificialsampling check after spreading, which makes it difficult to monitor the entire dam storehouse surface. In this paper, we present an in-depth study based on real-time monitoring and controltheory of storehouse surface rolling construction and obtain the rolling compaction thickness by analyzing the construction track of the rolling machine. Comparatively, the traditionalmethod can only analyze the rolling thickness of the dam storehouse surface after it has been compacted and cannot determine the thickness of the dam storehouse surface in realtime. To solve these problems, our system monitors the construction progress of the leveling machine and employs a real-time spreading thickness monitoring modelbased on the K-nearest neighbor algorithm. Taking the LHK core rockfilldam in Southwest China as an example, we performed real-time monitoring for the spreading thickness and conducted real-time interactive queries regarding the spreading thickness. This approach provides a new method for controlling the spreading thickness of the core rockfilldam storehouse surface.展开更多

It could respond to abscisic acid （ABA） and ethylene stimulus ATSYR1 gene encodes a syntaxin localizing at the plasma membrane in Arabidopsis, which can be induced by abiotic stress. To identify mutation lines for gene functional analysis, real-time PCR was employed to detect the expression level of AtERF4 and ATSYR1 in homozygous T-DNA insertion mutant line, respectively. Real-time PCR is a powerful tool which can be used to detect steady-state mRNA levels specifically, sensitively and reproducibly. Comparing to other forms of quantitative RT-PCR, the amount of amplified products can be detected by real-time PCR instantly and thus is a preferable alternative. In this study, RNA with T-DNA inserting into exon could be detected in AtERF4 knock-out mutation line. The results indicated that AtERF4 had been trucked in transcription level. On the other hand, T-DNA inserting into the promoter of gene ATSYR1 had no effect on reducing the expression level ofATSYR1 gene. Further molecular and phenotype studies now are ongoing to clarify the potential consequences of AtERF4 and ATSYR1 deficiency in Arabidopsis展开更多

Fi...Aimed at the real-time forward kinematics solving problem of Stewart parallel manipulator in the control course, a mixed algorithm combining immune evolutionary algorithm and numerical iterative scheme is proposed. Firstly taking advantage of simpleness of inverse kinematics, the forward kinematics is transformed to an optimal problem. Immune evolutionary algorithm is employed to find approximate solution of this optimal problem in manipulator＇s workspace. Then using above solution as iterative initialization, a speedy numerical iterative scheme is proposed to get more precise solution. In the manipulator running course, the iteration initialization can be selected as the last period position and orientation. Because the initialization is closed to correct solution, solving precision is high and speed is rapid enough to satisfy real-time requirement. This mixed forward kinematics algorithm is applied to real Stewart parallel manipulator in the real-time control course. The examination result shows that the algorithm is very efficient and practical.展开更多

The controller can provide some suitable sinusoidal signals to com- pensate the feedback unbalance response signals synchronous with the rotary frequency, then reduce the fluctua- tion of the control currents and weaken the active control of AMB system. The variable step-size proportional to the rotational frequency is deduced by analyzing the principle of normal LMS algorithm and its deficiency in the application of real-time filtering of AMB system. Experimental results show that the new method can implement real-time unbalance force compensation in a wide frequency band, reduce the effect of unbalance stimulant force on the housing of AMB system, and provide convenience to improve rotational speed.展开更多

文摘This paper proposes an algorithm that extracts features of back side of the vehicle and detects the front vehicle in real-time by local feature tracking of vehicle in the continuous images.The features in back side of the vehicle are vertical and horizontal edges,shadow and symmetry.By comparing local features using the fixed window size,the features in the continuous images are tracked.A robust and fast Haarlike mask is used for detecting vertical and horizontal edges,and shadow is extracted by histogram equalization,and the sliding window method is used to compare both side templates of the detected candidates for extracting symmetry.The features for tracking are vertical edges,and histogram is used to compare location of the peak and magnitude of the edges.The method using local feature tracking in the continuous images is more robust for detecting vehicle than the method using single image,and the proposed algorithm is evaluated by continuous images obtained on the expressway and downtown.And it can be performed on real-time through applying it to the embedded system.

文摘Deep learning-based intelligent recognition algorithms are increasingly recognized for their potential to address the labor-intensive challenge of manual pest detection.However,their deployment on mobile devices has been constrained by high computational demands.Here,we developed GBiDC-PEST,a mobile application that incorporates an improved,lightweight detection algorithm based on the You Only Look Once(YOLO)series singlestage architecture,for real-time detection of four tiny pests(wheat mites,sugarcane aphids,wheat aphids,and rice planthoppers).GBiDC-PEST incorporates several innovative modules,including GhostNet for lightweight feature extraction and architecture optimization by reconstructing the backbone,the bi-directional feature pyramid network(BiFPN)for enhanced multiscale feature fusion,depthwise convolution(DWConv)layers to reduce computational load,and the convolutional block attention module(CBAM)to enable precise feature focus.The newly developed GBiDC-PEST was trained and validated using a multitarget agricultural tiny pest dataset(Tpest-3960)that covered various field environments.GBiDC-PEST(2.8 MB)significantly reduced the model size to only 20%of the original model size,offering a smaller size than the YOLO series(v5-v10),higher detection accuracy than YOLOv10n and v10s,and faster detection speed than v8s,v9c,v10m and v10b.In Android deployment experiments,GBiDCPEST demonstrated enhanced performance in detecting pests against complex backgrounds,and the accuracy for wheat mites and rice planthoppers was improved by 4.5-7.5%compared with the original model.The GBiDC-PEST optimization algorithm and its mobile deployment proposed in this study offer a robust technical framework for the rapid,onsite identification and localization of tiny pests.This advancement provides valuable insights for effective pest monitoring,counting,and control in various agricultural settings.

文摘Path planning is a fundamental component in robotics and game artificial intelligence that considerably influences the motion efficiency of robots and unmanned aerial vehicles,as well as the realism and immersion of virtual environments.However,traditional algorithms are often limited to single-objective optimization and lack real-time adaptability to dynamic environments.This study addresses these limitations through a proposed realtime dynamic multiobjective(RDMO)path-planning algorithm based on an enhanced A^(*) framework.The proposed algorithm employs a queue-based structure and composite multiheuristic functions to dynamically manage game tasks and compute optimal paths under changing-map-connectivity conditions in real time.Simulation experiments are conducted using real-world road network data and benchmarked against mainstream hybrid approaches based on genetic algorithms(GAs)and simulated annealing(SA).The results show that the computational speed of the RDMO algorithm is 88 and 73 times faster than that of the GA-and SA-based solutions,respectively,while the total planned path length is reduced by 58%and 33%,respectively.In addition,the RDMO algorithm also shows excellent responsiveness to dynamic changes in map connectivity and can achieve real-time replanning with a minimal computational overhead.The research results prove that the RDMO algorithm provides a robust and efficient solution for multiobjective path planning in games and robotics applications and has a great application potential in improving system performance and user experience in related fields in the future.

文摘The integration of large-scale-distributed new energy resources has led to heightened source‒load uncertainty.As energy prosumers,microgrids urgently require enhanced real-time regulation capabilities over controllable resources amid uncertain environments,rendering real-time and rapid decision-making a critical issue.This paper proposes a tailored twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient(TD3)reinforcement learning algorithm that explicitly accounts for source‒load uncertainty.First,following an expert experience-based methodology,Gaussian process regression was implemented using the radial basis function covariance with historical source and load data.The parameters were adaptively adjusted by maximum likelihood estimation to generate the expected curves of demand and wind‒solar power generation,along with their 95%confidence regions,which were treated as representative uncertainty scenarios.Second,the traditional scheduling model was transformed into a deep reinforcement learning(DRL)environment through a Markov process.To minimize the total operational cost of the microgrid,the tailored TD3 algorithm was applied to formulate rapid intraday scheduling decisions.Finally,simulations were conducted using real historical data from an actual region in Zhejiang province,China,to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.The results demonstrate the potential of the algorithm for achieving economic scheduling for microgrids.

文摘BACKGROUND Difficulty of colonoscopy insertion(DCI)significantly affects colonoscopy effectiveness and serves as a key quality indicator.Predicting and evaluating DCI risk preoperatively is crucial for optimizing intraoperative strategies.AIM To evaluate the predictive performance of machine learning(ML)algorithms for DCI by comparing three modeling approaches,identify factors influencing DCI,and develop a preoperative prediction model using ML algorithms to enhance colonoscopy quality and efficiency.METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 712 patients who underwent colonoscopy at a tertiary hospital between June 2020 and May 2021.Demographic data,past medical history,medication use,and psychological status were collected.The endoscopist assessed DCI using the visual analogue scale.After univariate screening,predictive models were developed using multivariable logistic regression,least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression,and random forest(RF)algorithms.Model performance was evaluated based on discrimination,calibration,and decision curve analysis(DCA),and results were visualized using nomograms.RESULTS A total of 712 patients(53.8%male;mean age 54.5 years±12.9 years)were included.Logistic regression analysis identified constipation[odds ratio(OR)=2.254,95%confidence interval(CI):1.289-3.931],abdominal circumference(AC)(77.5–91.9 cm,OR=1.895,95%CI:1.065-3.350;AC≥92 cm,OR=1.271,95%CI:0.730-2.188),and anxiety(OR=1.071,95%CI:1.044-1.100)as predictive factors for DCI,validated by LASSO and RF methods.Model performance revealed training/validation sensitivities of 0.826/0.925,0.924/0.868,and 1.000/0.981;specificities of 0.602/0.511,0.510/0.562,and 0.977/0.526;and corresponding area under the receiver operating characteristic curves(AUCs)of 0.780(0.737-0.823)/0.726(0.654-0.799),0.754(0.710-0.798)/0.723(0.656-0.791),and 1.000(1.000-1.000)/0.754(0.688-0.820),respectively.DCA indicated optimal net benefit within probability thresholds of 0-0.9 and 0.05-0.37.The RF model demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy,reflected by perfect training sensitivity(1.000)and highest validation AUC(0.754),outperforming other methods in clinical applicability.CONCLUSION The RF-based model exhibited superior predictive accuracy for DCI compared to multivariable logistic and LASSO regression models.This approach supports individualized preoperative optimization,enhancing colonoscopy quality through targeted risk stratification.

文摘AtERF4 （ethylene response factor） is a negative regulator in jasmonic acid mediated signal transduction pathway and ethylene mediated signal transduction pathway of Arabidopsis. It could respond to abscisic acid （ABA） and ethylene stimulus ATSYR1 gene encodes a syntaxin localizing at the plasma membrane in Arabidopsis, which can be induced by abiotic stress. To identify mutation lines for gene functional analysis, real-time PCR was employed to detect the expression level of AtERF4 and ATSYR1 in homozygous T-DNA insertion mutant line, respectively. Real-time PCR is a powerful tool which can be used to detect steady-state mRNA levels specifically, sensitively and reproducibly. Comparing to other forms of quantitative RT-PCR, the amount of amplified products can be detected by real-time PCR instantly and thus is a preferable alternative. In this study, RNA with T-DNA inserting into exon could be detected in AtERF4 knock-out mutation line. The results indicated that AtERF4 had been trucked in transcription level. On the other hand, T-DNA inserting into the promoter of gene ATSYR1 had no effect on reducing the expression level ofATSYR1 gene. Further molecular and phenotype studies now are ongoing to clarify the potential consequences of AtERF4 and ATSYR1 deficiency in Arabidopsis
文摘Real-time task scheduling is of primary significance in multiprocessor systems.Meeting deadlines and achieving high system utilization are the two main objectives of task scheduling in such systems.In this paper,we represent those two goals as the minimization of the average response time and the average task laxity.To achieve this,we propose a genetic-based algorithm with problem-specific and efficient genetic operators.Adaptive control parameters are also employed in our work to improve the genetic algorithms' efficiency.The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm outperforms its counterpart considerably by up to 36% and 35% in terms of the average response time and the average task laxity,respectively.
文摘Aimed at the real-time forward kinematics solving problem of Stewart parallel manipulator in the control course, a mixed algorithm combining immune evolutionary algorithm and numerical iterative scheme is proposed. Firstly taking advantage of simpleness of inverse kinematics, the forward kinematics is transformed to an optimal problem. Immune evolutionary algorithm is employed to find approximate solution of this optimal problem in manipulator＇s workspace. Then using above solution as iterative initialization, a speedy numerical iterative scheme is proposed to get more precise solution. In the manipulator running course, the iteration initialization can be selected as the last period position and orientation. Because the initialization is closed to correct solution, solving precision is high and speed is rapid enough to satisfy real-time requirement. This mixed forward kinematics algorithm is applied to real Stewart parallel manipulator in the real-time control course. The examination result shows that the algorithm is very efficient and practical.

文摘Aiming at the stability and others properties of active magnetic bearing （AMB） system influenced by the periodic unbalance stimulation synchronous with rotor rotational speed, a new real-time adaptive feed-forward unbalance force compensation scheme is proposed based on variable step-size least mean square（LMS） algorithm as the feed-forward compensation controller. The controller can provide some suitable sinusoidal signals to com- pensate the feedback unbalance response signals synchronous with the rotary frequency, then reduce the fluctua- tion of the control currents and weaken the active control of AMB system. The variable step-size proportional to the rotational frequency is deduced by analyzing the principle of normal LMS algorithm and its deficiency in the application of real-time filtering of AMB system. Experimental results show that the new method can implement real-time unbalance force compensation in a wide frequency band, reduce the effect of unbalance stimulant force on the housing of AMB system, and provide convenience to improve rotational speed.

文摘A method was proposed to evaluate the real-time reliability for a single product based on damaged measurement degradation data.Most researches on degradation analysis often assumed that the measurement process did not have any impact on the product's performance.However,in some cases,the measurement process may exert extra stress on products being measured.To obtain trustful results in such a situation,a new degradation model was derived.Then,by fusing the prior information of product and its own on-line degradation data,the real-time reliability was evaluated on the basis of Bayesian formula.To make the proposed method more practical,a procedure based on expectation maximization (EM) algorithm was presented to estimate the unknown parameters.Finally,the performance of the proposed method was illustrated by a simulation study.The results show that ignoring the influence of the damaged measurement process can lead to biased evaluation results,if the damaged measurement process is involved.
