Firstly, the distance information of obstacles from these two sensors was separately processed by the Kalman filter algorithm, which largely reduced the noise interference. After that, we obtained two groups of estimated distance values from the robot to the obstacle and a variance of the estimation value. Additionally, a fusion of the estimation values and the variances was achieved based on the STF fusion algorithm. Finally, a simulation was performed to show that the curve of a real value was tracked well by that of the estimation value, which attributes to the effectiveness of the Kalman filter algorithm. In contrast to statistics before fusion, the fusion variance of the estimation value was sharply decreased. The precision of the position information is 4. 6 cm, which meets the application requirements of the robot.展开更多

The average temperature is subsequently used as the controlled parameter in the VAV cascade control process, which might cause uneven temperature distribution and unsatisfactory thermal comfort. This paper presents a coupled simulation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and building energy simulation (BES) for the VAV system in an office building located in Shanghai for the purpose of simulating the building, the VAV control system, and indoor thermal environment simultaneously. An external interface is developed to integrate the CFD and BES models based on quasi-dynamic coupling approach. Based upon the developed co-simulation platform, the novel VAV control method is further proposed by fusing information from multiple sensors. By adding two temperature sensors to constrain the thermal comfort of the occupied zone, the supply air temperature setpoint of the VAV terminal unit can be reset in real time. The novel control method is embedded into the co-simulation platform and compared with the conventional VAV control approach. The results illustrate that the temperature distribution under the proposed method is more uniform. At most times of the typical test day, the air diffusion performance indexes (ADPIs) for the proposed method are above 80%, while the ADPIs for the conventional control method are between 60% and 80%. Due to multi-sensor information fusion, the proposed VAV control approach has better ability to ensure the indoor thermal comfort.展开更多

To address these issues, we propose a multi-constraint pathoptimization scheme based on information fusion in SDN. The proposed scheme collects network topology andnetwork state information on the network side and computes disjoint paths between end hosts. It uses the FuzzyAnalytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to calculate the weight coefficients of multiple constrained parameters andconstructs a composite quality evaluation function for the paths to determine the priority of the disjoint paths. TheSDN controller extracts the service attributes by analyzing the packet header and selects the optimal path for flowrule forwarding. Furthermore, the service attributes are fed back to the path composite quality evaluation function,and the path priority is dynamically adjusted to achieve dynamic adaptation between service requirements andnetwork status. By continuously monitoring and analyzing the service attributes, the scheme can ensure optimalrouting decisions in response to varying network conditions and evolving service demands. The experimentalresults demonstrated that the proposed scheme can effectively improve average throughput and link utilizationwhile meeting the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of various applications.展开更多

At most times of the typical test day, the air diffusion performance indexes (ADPIs) for the proposed method are above 80%, while the ADPIs for the conventional control method are between 60% and 80%. Due to multi-sensor information fusion, the proposed VAV control approach has better ability to ensure the indoor thermal comfort.

文摘Undesirable self-excited chatter has always been a typical issue restricting the improvement of robotic milling quality and efficiency.Sensitive chatter identification based on processing signals can prompt operators to adjust the machining process and prevent chatter damage.Compared with the traditional machine tool,the uncertain multiple chatter frequency bands and the band-moving of the chatter frequency in robotic milling process make it more challenging to extract chatter information.This paper proposes a novel method of chatter identification using optimized variational mode decomposition(OVMD)with multi-band information fusion and compression technology(MT).During the robotic milling process,the number of decomposed modes k and the penalty coefficient a are optimized based on the dominant component of frequency scope partition and fitness of the mode center frequency.Moreover,the mayfly optimization algorithm(MA)is employed to obtain the global optimal parameter selection.In order to conquer information collection about the uncertain multiple chatter frequency bands and the band-moving of the chatter frequency in robotic milling process,MT is presented to reduce computation and extract signal characteristics.Finally,the cross entropy of the image(CEI)is proposed as the final chatter indicator to identify the chatter occurrence.The robotic milling experiments are carried out to verify the proposed method,and the results show that it can distinguish the robotic milling condition by extracting the uncertain multiple chatter frequency bands and overcome the band-moving of the chatter frequency in robotic milling process.

文摘Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is broadly employed in the research of multi-source information fusion.Nevertheless,when fusing highly conflicting evidence it may pro-duce counterintuitive outcomes.To address this issue,a fusion approach based on a newly defined belief exponential diver-gence and Deng entropy is proposed.First,a belief exponential divergence is proposed as the conflict measurement between evidences.Then,the credibility of each evidence is calculated.Afterwards,the Deng entropy is used to calculate information volume to determine the uncertainty of evidence.Then,the weight of evidence is calculated by integrating the credibility and uncertainty of each evidence.Ultimately,initial evidences are amended and fused using Dempster’s rule of combination.The effectiveness of this approach in addressing the fusion of three typical conflict paradoxes is demonstrated by arithmetic exam-ples.Additionally,the proposed approach is applied to aerial tar-get recognition and iris dataset-based classification to validate its efficacy.Results indicate that the proposed approach can enhance the accuracy of target recognition and effectively address the issue of fusing conflicting evidences.
文摘Ensuring that autonomous vehicles maintain high precision and rapid response capabilities in complex and dynamic driving environments is a critical challenge in the field of autonomous driving.This study aims to enhance the learning efficiency ofmulti-sensor feature fusion in autonomous driving tasks,thereby improving the safety and responsiveness of the system.To achieve this goal,we propose an innovative multi-sensor feature fusion model that integrates three distinct modalities:visual,radar,and lidar data.The model optimizes the feature fusion process through the introduction of two novel mechanisms:Sparse Channel Pooling(SCP)and Residual Triplet-Attention(RTA).Firstly,the SCP mechanism enables the model to adaptively filter out salient feature channels while eliminating the interference of redundant features.This enhances the model’s emphasis on critical features essential for decisionmaking and strengthens its robustness to environmental variability.Secondly,the RTA mechanism addresses the issue of feature misalignment across different modalities by effectively aligning key cross-modal features.This alignment reduces the computational overhead associated with redundant features and enhances the overall efficiency of the system.Furthermore,this study incorporates a reinforcement learning module designed to optimize strategies within a continuous action space.By integrating thismodulewith the feature fusion learning process,the entire system is capable of learning efficient driving strategies in an end-to-end manner within the CARLA autonomous driving simulator.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposedmodel significantly enhances the perception and decision-making accuracy of the autonomous driving system in complex traffic scenarios while maintaining real-time responsiveness.This work provides a novel perspective and technical pathway for the application of multi-sensor data fusion in autonomous driving.
文摘Video camouflaged object detection(VCOD)has become a fundamental task in computer vision that has attracted significant attention in recent years.Unlike image camouflaged object detection(ICOD),VCOD not only requires spatial cues but also needs motion cues.Thus,effectively utilizing spatiotemporal information is crucial for generating accurate segmentation results.Current VCOD methods,which typically focus on exploring motion representation,often ineffectively integrate spatial and motion features,leading to poor performance in diverse scenarios.To address these issues,we design a novel spatiotemporal network with an encoder-decoder structure.During the encoding stage,an adjacent space-time memory module(ASTM)is employed to extract high-level temporal features(i.e.,motion cues)from the current frame and its adjacent frames.In the decoding stage,a selective space-time aggregation module is introduced to efficiently integrate spatial and temporal features.Additionally,a multi-feature fusion module is developed to progressively refine the rough prediction by utilizing the information provided by multiple types of features.Furthermore,we incorporate multi-task learning into the proposed network to obtain more accurate predictions.Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms existing cutting-edge baselines on VCOD benchmarks.

文摘The existingmultipath routing in Software Defined Network (SDN) is relatively blind and inefficient, and there is alack of cooperation between the terminal and network sides, making it difficult to achieve dynamic adaptationof service requirements and network resources. To address these issues, we propose a multi-constraint pathoptimization scheme based on information fusion in SDN. The proposed scheme collects network topology andnetwork state information on the network side and computes disjoint paths between end hosts. It uses the FuzzyAnalytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to calculate the weight coefficients of multiple constrained parameters andconstructs a composite quality evaluation function for the paths to determine the priority of the disjoint paths. TheSDN controller extracts the service attributes by analyzing the packet header and selects the optimal path for flowrule forwarding. Furthermore, the service attributes are fed back to the path composite quality evaluation function,and the path priority is dynamically adjusted to achieve dynamic adaptation between service requirements andnetwork status. By continuously monitoring and analyzing the service attributes, the scheme can ensure optimalrouting decisions in response to varying network conditions and evolving service demands. The experimentalresults demonstrated that the proposed scheme can effectively improve average throughput and link utilizationwhile meeting the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of various applications.

文摘Driving fatigue is a physiological phenomenon that often occurs during driving.After the driver enters a fatigued state,the attentionis lax,the response is slow,and the ability todeal with emergencies is significantly reduced,which can easily cause traffic accidents.Therefore,studying driver fatigue detectionmethods is significant in ensuring safe driving.However,the fatigue state of actual drivers is easily interfered with by the external environment(glasses and light),which leads to many problems,such as weak reliability of fatigue driving detection.Moreover,fatigue is a slow process,first manifested in physiological signals and then reflected in human face images.To improve the accuracy and stability of fatigue detection,this paper proposed a driver fatigue detection method based on image information and physiological information,designed a fatigue driving detection device,built a simulation driving experiment platform,and collected facial as well as physiological information of drivers during driving.Finally,the effectiveness of the fatigue detection method was evaluated.Eye movement feature parameters and physiological signal features of drivers’fatigue levels were extracted.The driver fatigue detection model was trained to classify fatigue and non-fatigue states based on the extracted features.Accuracy rates of the image,electroencephalogram(EEG),and blood oxygen signals were 86%,82%,and 71%,separately.Information fusion theory was presented to facilitate the fatigue detection effect;the fatigue features were fused using multiple kernel learning and typical correlation analysis methods to increase the detection accuracy to 94%.It can be seen that the fatigue driving detectionmethod based onmulti-source feature fusion effectively detected driver fatigue state,and the accuracy rate was higher than that of a single information source.In summary,fatigue drivingmonitoring has broad development prospects and can be used in traffic accident prevention and wearable driver fatigue recognition.

文摘In the aircraft control system,sensor networks are used to sample the attitude and environmental data.As a result of the external and internal factors(e.g.,environmental and task complexity,inaccurate sensing and complex structure),the aircraft control system contains several uncertainties,such as imprecision,incompleteness,redundancy and randomness.The information fusion technology is usually used to solve the uncertainty issue,thus improving the sampled data reliability,which can further effectively increase the performance of the fault diagnosis decision-making in the aircraft control system.In this work,we first analyze the uncertainties in the aircraft control system,and also compare different uncertainty quantitative methods.Since the information fusion can eliminate the effects of the uncertainties,it is widely used in the fault diagnosis.Thus,this paper summarizes the recent work in this aera.Furthermore,we analyze the application of information fusion methods in the fault diagnosis of the aircraft control system.Finally,this work identifies existing problems in the use of information fusion for diagnosis and outlines future trends.

文摘To address the limitation of single acceleration sensor signals in effectively reflecting the health status of rolling bearings,a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on the fusion of data-level and feature-level information was proposed.First,according to the impact characteristics of rolling bearing faults,correlation kurtosis rules were designed to guide the weight distribution of multi-sensor signals.These rules were then combined with a weighted fusion method to obtain high-quality data-level fusion signals.Subsequently,a feature-fusion convolutional neural network(FFCNN)that merges the one-dimensional(1D)features extracted from the fused signal with the two-dimensional(2D)features extracted from the wavelet time-frequency spectrum was designed to obtain a comprehensive representation of the health status of rolling bearings.Finally,the fused features were fed into a Softmax classifier to complete the fault diagnosis.The results show that the proposed method exhibits an average test accuracy of over 99.00%on the two rolling bearing fault datasets,outperforming other comparison methods.Thus,the method can be effectively utilized for diagnosing rolling bearing faults.
