Attractive force between the robot and the target location, and repulsive force between the robot and the obstacles are both converted to the potential field intensity; and filled potential field is used to guide the robot to go out of the local minimum points ; on this basis, the effect of dynamic obstacles velocity and the robot＇s velocity is consid thers and the IAPFM is established, then both the expressions of the attractive potential field and the repulsive potential field are obtained. The trust region algorithm is used to search the minimum value of the sum of all the potential field inten- sities within the movement scope which the robot can arrive in a sampling period. Connecting of all the points which hare the minimum intensity in every sampling period constitutes the global optimization path. Experiment result shows that the method can meet the real-time requirement, and is able to execute the mobile robot path planning task effectively in the dynamic environment.展开更多

文摘Bipolar plate is one of the key components of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC)and a reasonable flow field design for bipolar plate will improve cell performance.Herein,we have reviewed conventional and bionic flow field designs in recent literature with a focus on bionic flow fields.In particular,the bionic flow fields are summarized into two types:plant-inspired and animal-inspired.The conventional methodology for flow field design takes more time to find the optimum since it is based on experience and trial-and-error methods.In recent years,machine learning has been used to optimize flow field structures of bipolar plates owing to the advantages of excellent prediction and optimization capability.Artificial Intelligence(AI)-assisted flow field design has been summarized into two categories in this review:single-objective optimization and multi-objective optimization.Furthermore,a Threats-Opportunities-Weaknesses-Strengths(TOWS)analysis has been conducted for AI-assisted flow field design.It has been envisioned that AI can afford a powerful tool to solve the complex problem of bionic flow field design and significantly enhance the performance of PEMFC with bionic flow fields.
文摘Background Advancements in computer science and knowledge have made the incorporation of control theory,graphics processing,and mathematical models increasingly important for urban design planning.However,challenges remain in aligning virtual reality(VR)environments with real-world spatial and preparation requirements,particularly in indoor urban spaces.Methods This study investigates the application of VR technology to urban design,focusing on the growth and assessment of the redirection of the space-tree sorter algorithm(STSA).It outlines various assessment indicators,organization of the VR-based system architecture,and construction of 3D urban models and databases.This research also examined methods for the interactive adjustment of indoor space layout plans within a VR environment.Results This research study involved developing and demonstrating the creation and simulation of urban indoor spaces and cityscapes in VR and implementing an experimental setup to test layout modifications and system interactivity.The results indicated enhanced alignment between the virtual and physical spatial configurations.The analysis highlights the strengths and limitations of current VR systems for urban design and identifies key areas for optimization and refinement.Conclusion High congruence between virtual simulations and real-world urban spaces is necessary for effective VR-driven urban planning.This study contributes to a clearer understanding of how 3D modeling,interactive layout design,and reproduction technology can be efficiently employed to support urban increase initiatives.
文摘This paper presents a novel method for reconstructing a highly accurate 3D nose model of the human from 2D images and pre-marked landmarks based on algorithmic methods.The study focuses on the reconstruction of a 3D nose model tailored for applications in healthcare and cosmetic surgery.The approach leverages advanced image processing techniques,3D Morphable Models(3DMM),and deformation techniques to overcome the limita-tions of deep learning models,particularly addressing the interpretability issues commonly encountered in medical applications.The proposed method estimates the 3D coordinates of landmark points using a 3D structure estimation algorithm.Sub-landmarks are extracted through image processing techniques and interpolation.The initial surface is generated using a 3DMM,though its accuracy remains limited.To enhance precision,deformation techniques are applied,utilizing the coordinates of 76 identified landmarks and sub-landmarks.The resulting 3D nose model is constructed based on algorithmic methods and pre-marked landmarks.Evaluation of the 3D model is conducted by comparing landmark distances and shape similarity with expert-determined ground truth on 30 Vietnamese volunteers aged 18 to 47,all of whom were either preparing for or required nasal surgery.Experimental results demonstrate a strong agreement between the reconstructed 3D model and the ground truth.The method achieved a mean landmark distance error of 0.631 mm and a shape error of 1.738 mm,demonstrating its potential for medical applications.
文摘This paper introduces the principle of genetic algorithm and the basic method of solving Markov random field parameters.Focusing on the shortcomings in present methods,a new method based on genetic algorithms is proposed to solve the parameters in the Markov random field.The detailed procedure is discussed.On the basis of the parameters solved by genetic algorithms,some experiments on classification of aerial images are given.Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and the classification results are satisfactory.
