文摘The orthogonal time frequency space(OTFS)modulation is a novel modulation scheme that can effectively cope with the high Doppler expansion caused by high mobility.Since it modulates data on delay-Doppler(DD)domain and makes full use of the sparse characteristics of DD domain,it has been widely studied to design efficient channel estimation and signal detection schemes.In this paper,we design a novel superimposed pilot pattern with transition band,which replaces the traditional embedded pilot(EP)guard zero-symbols,and perform a two-stage channel estimation.In the first stage,we fully utilize the dispersion characteristics of OTFS signal in DD domain,and use threshold decision to make coarse channel estimation.In the second stage,we use the results of the coarse estimation for iterative signal detection and accurate channel estimation.During the second stage,we make full use of the sparsity of the channel in DD domain,remodel the received signal into the form of sparse channel vector multiplied by channel coefficient matrix,and introduce Doppler index segmentation factor(DISF)to subdivide the Doppler index to solve the problem of fractional Doppler.Simulations reveal that,the scheme proposed in this paper has higher spectral efficiency compared with traditional EP scheme and lower peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)compared with traditional superimposed pilot scheme.

文摘Real-time multi-person pose estimation(MPE)built upon neural network architectures aims to simultaneously detect multiple human instances and regress joint coordinates in dynamic scenes.However,due to factors such as high model complexity and limited expression of keypoint information,both the efficiency and accuracy of real-time MPE remain to be improved.To mitigate the adverse impacts caused by the aforementioned issues,this work develops FSEM-Pose,a real-time MPE model rooted in the YOLOv10 framework.In detail,first,FSEM-Pose upgrades the backbone module of the baseline network by introducing the Feature Shuffling-Convolution(FS-Conv),which effectively reduces the backbone size while maximizing the retention of spatial information from the input image.Second,FSEM-Pose incorporates a Feature Saliency Enhancement Module(FSEM)to strengthen the feature encoding of human keypoints,thereby improving the accuracy of pose estimation.Finally,FSEM-Pose further enhances inference efficiency via a lightweight optimization of the head using shared convolutional layers.Our method achieves competitive results across multiple accuracy and efficiency metrics on the MS COCO 2017 and CrowdPose datasets.While being lightweight in design,it improves average precision(AP)by 2.1%and 2.5%,respectively.

文摘In GNSS-denied environments,signals of opportunity(SOP)offer an efficient and passive solution for navigation and positioning by utilizing ambient signals.Nevertheless,conventional SOP techniques face significant challenges in real-time processing,especially under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions,due to high data acquisition rates and offgrid errors.To address this,this paper proposes the signal reconstruction and kernel sparse encoding(SRKSE)model,a novel general framework for high-precision parameter estimation.By combining compressed sensing with a deep unfolding network,the SRKSE model not only achieves robust signal reconstruction but also effectively reduces quantization errors.Key innovations of SRKSE include dual crossattention mechanisms for enhanced feature extraction,sinc sparse kernel encoding to minimize quantization errors,and a custom loss function for balanced optimization.With these advancements,SRKSE achieves up to a 650-fold improvement in time of arrival(TOA)estimation accuracy while operating at just 1%of the Nyquist sampling rate.The SRKSE surpasses both conventional and deep learning-based techniques in accuracy and efficiency,especially when operating under sub-Nyquist sampling conditions.Simulations and real-world experiments confirm the reliability and potential of SRKSE for real-time applications in IoT and wireless communication.

文摘Lithium-ion(Li-ion)batteries stand as the dominant energy storage solution,despite their widespread adoption,precisely determining the state of charge(SOC)continues to pose significant difficulties,with direct implications for battery safety,operational reliability,and overall performance.Current SOC estimation techniques often demonstrate limited accuracy,particularly when confronted with complex operational scenarios and wide temperature variations,where their generalization capacity and dynamic adaptation prove insufficient.To address these shortcomings,this work presents a PSO-TCN-Transformer network model for SOC estimation.This research uses the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)method to automatically configure the architectural parameters of the Temporal Convolutional Network(TCN)and Transformer components.This automated optimization enhances the model’s ability to represent the dynamically evolving nature of SOC.Additionally,this integrated framework significantly increases the model’s capacity to capture SOC dynamics in complex operational scenarios.During training and evaluation using a comprehensive dataset that covers complex operating conditions and a broad temperature spanning from−20℃ to 40℃,the proposed model achieves a root mean square error(RMSE)of less than 0.6%,a maximum absolute error(MAXE)below 4.0%,and a coefficient of determination(R^(2))of 99.99%.Additional comparative experiments on data from an energy storage company further verify the model’s superior performance,with an RMSE of 1.18%and an MAXE of 1.95%.The implications of this work extend to the development of optimization strategies and hybrid architectures,providing insights that can be adapted for state estimation across a range of complex dynamic systems.

文摘The growing use of lithium-ion batteries in electric transportation and grid-scale storage systems has intensified the need for accurate and highly generalizable state-of-health(SOH)estimation.Conventional approaches often suffer from reduced accuracy under dynamically uncertain state-of-charge(SOC)operating ranges and heterogeneous aging stresses.This study presents a unified SOH estimation framework that integrates physics-informed modeling,subspace identification,and Transformer-based learning.A reduced-order model is derived from simplified electrochemical dynamics,providing an interpretable and computationally efficient representation of battery behavior.Subspace identification across a wide SOC and SOH range yields degradation-sensitive features,which the Transformer uses to capture long-range aging dynamics via multi-head self-attention.Experiments on LiFePO4 cells under joint-cell training show consistently accurate SOH estimation,with a maximum error of 1.39%,demonstrating the framework’s effectiveness in decoupling SOC and SOH effects.In cross-cell validation,where training and validation are performed on different cells,the model maintains a maximum error of 2.06%,confirming strong generalization to unseen aging trajectories.Comparative experiments on LiFePO_(4)and public LiCoO_(2)datasets confirm the framework’s cross-chemistry applicability.By extracting low-dimensional,physically interpretable features via subspace identification,the framework significantly reduces training cost while maintaining high SOH estimation accuracy,outperforming conventional data-driven models lacking physical guidance.

文摘Presented in this study is a novel method for estimating the depth of single underwater source in shallow water,utilizing vector sensors.The approach leverages the depth distribution of the broadband Stokes parameters to estimate source depth accurately.Unlike traditional matched field processing(MFP)and matched mode processing(MMP),the proposed approach can estimate source depth directly from the data received by sensors without requiring complete environmental information.Firstly,the broadband Stokes parameters(BSP)are established using the normal mode theory.Then the nonstationary phase approximation is used to simplify the theoretical derivation,which is necessary when dealing with broadband integrals.Additionally,range terms of the BSP are eliminated by normalization.By analyzing the depth distribution of the normalized broadband Stokes parameters(NBSP),it is found that the NBSP exhibit extreme values at the source depth,which can be used for source depth estimation.So the proposed depth estimation method is based on searching the peaks of the NBSP.Simulations show that this method is effective in relatively simple shallow water environments.Finally,the effect of source range,frequency bandwidth,sound speed profile(SSP),water depth,and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)are studied.The findings indicate that the proposed method can accurately estimate the source depth when the SNR is greater than-5 d B and does not need to consider model mismatch issues.Additionally,variations in environmental parameters have minimal impact on estimation accuracy.Compared to MFP,the proposed method requires a higher SNR,but demonstrates superior robustness against fluctuations in environmental parameters.

文摘Considering the impact of terminal impact time constraints and the state information of maneuvering targets on the guidance accuracy in multi-UAV cooperative guidance,this paper proposes an impact time cooperative control guidance law(ITCCG)that combines the optimal error dynamics with an improved adaptive cubature Kalman filter(IACKF)algorithm.First,a terminal impact time feedback term is introduced into proportional navigation guidance based on the relative virtual guidance model,and terminal time control is achieved through optimal error dynamics.Then,the Huber loss function is used to reduce the impact of measurement outliers,and the diagonal decomposition is applied to address the issue of non-positive definite matrices that cannot undergo Cholesky decomposition.Finally,the ITCCG and IACKF algorithms combined achieve multi-UAV time-cooperated guidance based on maneuvering target state estimation.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the target state estimation error and achieves cooperative guidance within the desired time frame.

文摘This paper aims to develop a unified Bayesian approach for clustered data analysis when observations are subject to missingness at random.The authors consider a general framework in which the parameters of interest are defined through estimating equations,and the probability of missingness follows a general parametric form.The generalized method of moments framework is employed to derive an optimal combination of inverse-probability-weighted estimating equations for the parameters of interest and score equations for propensity score.Using this framework,the authors develop a quasi-Bayesian analysis for clustered samples with missing values.A unified model selection approach is also proposed to compare models characterized by different moment conditions.The authors systematically evaluate the large-sample properties of the proposed quasi-posterior density with both fixed and shrinking priors and establish the selection consistency of the proposed model selection criterion.The proposed results are valid under very mild conditions and offer significant advantages for parameters defined through non-smooth estimating functions.Extensive numerical studies demonstrate that the proposed method performs exceptionally well in finite samples.

文摘The 6D pose estimation of objects is of great significance for the intelligent assembly and sorting of industrial parts.In the industrial robot production scenarios,the 6D pose estimation of industrial parts mainly faces two challenges:one is the loss of information and interference caused by occlusion and stacking in the sorting scenario,the other is the difficulty of feature extraction due to the weak texture of industrial parts.To address the above problems,this paper proposes an attention-based pixel-level voting network for 6D pose estimation of weakly textured industrial parts,namely CB-PVNet.On the one hand,the voting scheme can predict the keypoints of affected pixels,which improves the accuracy of keypoint localization even in scenarios such as weak texture and partial occlusion.On the other hand,the attention mechanism can extract interesting features of the object while suppressing useless features of surroundings.Extensive comparative experiments were conducted on both public datasets(including LINEMOD,Occlusion LINEMOD and T-LESS datasets)and self-made datasets.The experimental results indicate that the proposed network CB-PVNet can achieve accuracy of ADD(-s)comparable to state-of-the-art using only RGB images while ensuring real-time performance.Additionally,we also conducted robot grasping experiments in the real world.The balance between accuracy and computational efficiency makes the method well-suited for applications in industrial automation.

文摘Quantile regression(QR)has become an important tool to measure dependence of response variable's quantiles on a number of predictors for heterogeneous data,especially heavy-tailed data and outliers.However,it is quite challenging to make statistical inference on distributed high-dimensional QR with missing data due to the distributed nature,sparsity and missingness of data and nondifferentiable quantile loss function.To overcome the challenge,this paper develops a communicationefficient method to select variables and estimate parameters by utilizing a smooth function to approximate the non-differentiable quantile loss function and incorporating the idea of the inverse probability weighting and the penalty function.The proposed approach has three merits.First,it is both computationally and communicationally efficient because only the first-and second-order information of the approximate objective function are communicated at each iteration.Second,the proposed estimators possess the oracle property after a limited number of iterations without constraint on the number of machines.Third,the proposed method simultaneously selects variables and estimates parameters within a distributed framework,ensuring robustness to the specified response probability or propensity score function of the missing data mechanism.Simulation studies and a real example are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodologies.

文摘(Quasi-)closed-form results for the statistical properties of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)airto-ground channels are derived for the first time using a novel spatial-vector-based method from a threedimensional(3-D)arbitrary-elevation one-cylinder model.The derived results include a closed-form expression for the space-time correlation function and some quasi-closed-form ones for the space-Doppler power spectrum density,the level crossing rate,and the average fading duration,which are shown to be the generalizations of those previously obtained from the two-dimensional(2-D)one-ring model and the 3-D low-elevation one-cylinder model for terrestrial mobile-to-mobile channels.The close agreements between the theoretical results and the simulations as well as the measurements validate the utility of the derived channel statistics.Based on the derived expressions,the impacts of some parameters on the channel characteristics are investigated in an effective,efficient,and explicable way,which leads to a general guideline on the manual parameter estimation from the measurement description.

文摘Human pose estimation is crucial across diverse applications,from healthcare to human-computer interaction.Integrating inertial measurement units(IMUs)with monocular vision methods holds great potential for leveraging complementary modalities;however,existing approaches are often limited by IMU drift,noise,and underutilization of visual information.To address these limitations,we propose a novel dual-stream feature extraction framework that effectively combines temporal IMU data and single-view image features for improved pose estimation.Short-term dependencies in IMU sequences are captured with convolutional layers,while a Transformerbased architecture models long-range temporal dynamics.To mitigate IMU drift and inter-sensor inconsistencies,a complementary filtering module is introduced alongside a cross-channel interaction mechanism.Features from the IMU and image streams are then fused via a dedicated fusion module and further refined utilizing a high-precision regression head for accurate pose prediction.Experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing techniques in terms of estimation,accuracy,and robustness,validating the effectiveness of our dual-stream architecture.

文摘The estimation of the Number of Sources(NoS)is a significant challenge in signal processing,particularly due to the impact of colored noise on the performance of NoS estimation.This paper proposes a Multidimensional Feature Network(MFNet)which is designed for NoS estimation by extracting features of the sampled received signals and Sampled Covariance Matrix(SCM).The MFNet treats the raw signal and the SCM as two different types of data,and is able to achieve NoS estimation under colored noise and imperfect array.MFNet employs the Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU)to capture sequential information from the original signal data and to construct the Pseudo Covariance Matrix(PCM).Subsequently,various dimensional features,including eigenvalues and the Gerschgorin disk radius,are extracted from both the PCM and SCM,which are then jointly input into the subsequent network.An overall accuracy of 82%can be achieved after network training.The ablation experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of multiple inputs.And simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MFNet achieves higher estimation accuracy compared to existing algorithms and exhibits greater robustness against colored noise.
