To accelerate the information exchanges between check nodes and variable nodes, the bit-flipping step and the check node updating step of the original algorithm are parallelized. The simulation experiments demonstrate that the improved PWBF algorithm provides about 0. 1 to 0. 3 dB coding gain over the original PWBF algorithm. And the improved algorithm achieves a higher convergence rate. The choice of the threshold is also discussed, which is used to determine whether a bit should be flipped during each iteration. The appropriate threshold can ensure that most error bits be flipped, and keep the right ones untouched at the same time. The improvement is particularly effective for decoding quasi-cyclic low-density paritycheck（QC-LDPC） codes.展开更多

文摘Aimed at the long and narrow geometric features and poor generalization ability of the damage detection in conveyor belts with steel rope cores using the X-ray image,a detection method of damage X-ray image is proposed based on the improved fully convolutional one-stage object detection(FCOS)algorithm.The regression performance of bounding boxes was optimized by introducing the complete intersection over union loss function into the improved algorithm.The feature fusion network structure is modified by adding adaptive fusion paths to the feature fusion network structure,which makes full use of the features of accurate localization and semantics of multi-scale feature fusion networks.Finally,the network structure was trained and validated by using the X-ray image dataset of damages in conveyor belts with steel rope cores provided by a flaw detection equipment manufacturer.In addition,the data enhancement methods such as rotating,mirroring,and scaling,were employed to enrich the image dataset so that the model is adequately trained.Experimental results showed that the improved FCOS algorithm promoted the precision rate and the recall rate by 20.9%and 14.8%respectively,compared with the original algorithm.Meanwhile,compared with Fast R-CNN,Faster R-CNN,SSD,and YOLOv3,the improved FCOS algorithm has obvious advantages;detection precision rate and recall rate of the modified network reached 95.8%and 97.0%respectively.Furthermore,it demonstrated a higher detection accuracy without affecting the speed.The results of this work have some reference significance for the automatic identification and detection of steel core conveyor belt damage.

文摘An improved parallel weighted bit-flipping（PWBF） algorithm is presented. To accelerate the information exchanges between check nodes and variable nodes, the bit-flipping step and the check node updating step of the original algorithm are parallelized. The simulation experiments demonstrate that the improved PWBF algorithm provides about 0. 1 to 0. 3 dB coding gain over the original PWBF algorithm. And the improved algorithm achieves a higher convergence rate. The choice of the threshold is also discussed, which is used to determine whether a bit should be flipped during each iteration. The appropriate threshold can ensure that most error bits be flipped, and keep the right ones untouched at the same time. The improvement is particularly effective for decoding quasi-cyclic low-density paritycheck（QC-LDPC） codes.

文摘Accurate short-term wind power forecast technique plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety and economic efficiency of smart grids.Although numerous studies have employed various methods to forecast wind power,there remains a research gap in leveraging swarm intelligence algorithms to optimize the hyperparameters of the Transformer model for wind power prediction.To improve the accuracy of short-term wind power forecast,this paper proposes a hybrid short-term wind power forecast approach named STL-IAOA-iTransformer,which is based on seasonal and trend decomposition using LOESS(STL)and iTransformer model optimized by improved arithmetic optimization algorithm(IAOA).First,to fully extract the power data features,STL is used to decompose the original data into components with less redundant information.The extracted components as well as the weather data are then input into iTransformer for short-term wind power forecast.The final predicted short-term wind power curve is obtained by combining the predicted components.To improve the model accuracy,IAOA is employed to optimize the hyperparameters of iTransformer.The proposed approach is validated using real-generation data from different seasons and different power stations inNorthwest China,and ablation experiments have been conducted.Furthermore,to validate the superiority of the proposed approach under different wind characteristics,real power generation data fromsouthwestChina are utilized for experiments.Thecomparative results with the other six state-of-the-art prediction models in experiments show that the proposed model well fits the true value of generation series and achieves high prediction accuracy.

文摘In winter 2018,an aerosol physicochemical experiment was conducted in the Western Pacific Ocean(WPO)aboard the Research Vessel KEXUE of Chinese Academy of Sciences.This study systematically investigated both natural and anthropogenic effects on marine aerosols optical properties,as well as the applicability of multi-satellite products and IMPROVE equation.The averaged aerosol optical depth(AOD500 nm)was 0.31±0.16 andÅngström exponent440–675 nm was 0.29±0.30.In offshore China,significant anthropogenic emissions affected the marine environment.In remote WPO,dust aerosols transported from northern China,Siberia,Central Asia,and those settling from the upper troposphere originating from north Africa,Arabian peninsula,and western India,were dominant.The spatial trends of AOD were opposite in the mid-latitude and southern seas of WPO.The highest AOD,0.32±0.23,appeared along the coast of South Asia at mid-latitude,decreasing from offshore seas to remote oceans.In low-latitude and equatorial seas,AOD significantly increased from coast to remote oceans.Ångström exponent dropped significantly from the coast to remote oceans as anthropogenic influence diminished across the entire WPO.Correlation analysis showed that both MODIS-C6 and Himawari AOD prod-ucts showed similar applicability in coastal urban areas,while Himawari AOD is highly recommended for coastal background and marine environment due to its finer resolution.The extinction coefficient derived from PM_(2.5) chemical compositions using IMPROVE algorithm exhibited a significant correlation(R^(2)=0.58)with the con-currently measured AOD in the absence of long-distance transport,suggesting that the IMPROVE is a reasonable proxy of the columnar average of marine aerosol extinctions free from transport influences.

文摘DV-Hop localization algorithm has greater localization error which estimates distance from an unknown node to the different anchor nodes by using estimated average size of a hop to achieve the location of the unknown node.So an improved DV-Hop localization algorithm based on correctional average size of a hop,HDCDV-Hop algorithm,is proposed.The improved algorithm corrects the estimated distance between the unknown node and different anchor nodes based on fractional hop count information and relatively accurate coordinates of the anchor nodes information,and it uses the improved Differential Evolution algorithm to get the estimate location of unknown nodes so as to further reduce the localization error.Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm have lower localization error and higher localization accuracy compared with the original DV-Hop algorithm and other classical improved algorithms.

文摘Edge computing has transformed smart grids by lowering latency,reducing network congestion,and enabling real-time decision-making.Nevertheless,devising an optimal task-offloading strategy remains challenging,as it must jointly minimise energy consumption and response time under fluctuating workloads and volatile network conditions.We cast the offloading problem as aMarkov Decision Process(MDP)and solve it with Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL).Specifically,we present a three-tier architecture—end devices,edge nodes,and a cloud server—and enhance Proximal Policy Optimization(PPO)to learn adaptive,energy-aware policies.A Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)extracts high-level features from system states,enabling the agent to respond continually to changing conditions.Extensive simulations show that the proposed method reduces task latency and energy consumption far more than several baseline algorithms,thereby improving overall system performance.These results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the framework for real-time task offloading in dynamic smart-grid environments.

文摘Optimal path planning avoiding obstacles is among the most attractive applications of mobile robots(MRs)in both research and education.In this paper,an optimal collision-free algorithm is designed and implemented practically based on an improved Dijkstra algorithm.To achieve this research objectives,first,the MR obstacle-free environment is modeled as a diagraph including nodes,edges and weights.Second,Dijkstra algorithm is used offline to generate the shortest path driving the MR from a starting point to a target point.During its movement,the robot should follow the previously obtained path and stop at each node to test if there is an obstacle between the current node and the immediately following node.For this aim,the MR was equipped with an ultrasonic sensor used as obstacle detector.If an obstacle is found,the MR updates its diagraph by excluding the corresponding node.Then,Dijkstra algorithm runs on the modified diagraph.This procedure is repeated until reaching the target point.To verify the efficiency of the proposed approach,a simulation was carried out on a hand-made MR and an environment including 9 nodes,19 edges and 2 obstacles.The obtained optimal path avoiding obstacles has been transferred into motion control and implemented practically using line tracking sensors.This study has shown that the improved Dijkstra algorithm can efficiently solve optimal path planning in environments including obstacles and that STEAM-based MRs are efficient cost-effective tools to practically implement the designed algorithm.
