Currently, CRC clinical diagnosis and treatment face challenges such as high costs and persistently high recurrence rates. Traditional quantification of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) relies on manual analysis and judgment, resulting in low diagnostic efficiency and susceptibility to subjective factors, leading to missed or misdiagnosed cases. To enhance the efficiency and quality of CRC clinical diagnosis and treatment, this study explores domestic and international research on the automatic identification of CRC cells using machine learning strategies. It analyzes the morphological heterogeneity and prognostic value in the application of this strategy, aiming to deepen the understanding of intelligent tool applications in precise diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic evaluation of colorectal cancer, comprehend the current research status and development trends, and provide references for addressing and addressing the gaps in related research.展开更多

To enhance the efficiency and quality of CRC clinical diagnosis and treatment, this study explores domestic and international research on the automatic identification of CRC cells using machine learning strategies. It analyzes the morphological heterogeneity and prognostic value in the application of this strategy, aiming to deepen the understanding of intelligent tool applications in precise diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic evaluation of colorectal cancer, comprehend the current research status and development trends, and provide references for addressing and addressing the gaps in related research.
文摘This study aimed to enhance the performance of semantic segmentation for autonomous driving by improving the 2DPASS model.Two novel improvements were proposed and implemented in this paper:dynamically adjusting the loss function ratio and integrating an attention mechanism(CBAM).First,the loss function weights were adjusted dynamically.The grid search method is used for deciding the best ratio of 7:3.It gives greater emphasis to the cross-entropy loss,which resulted in better segmentation performance.Second,CBAM was applied at different layers of the 2Dencoder.Heatmap analysis revealed that introducing it after the second block of 2D image encoding produced the most effective enhancement of important feature representation.The training epoch was chosen for optimizing the best value by experiments,which improved model convergence and overall accuracy.To evaluate the proposed approach,experiments were conducted based on the SemanticKITTI database.The results showed that the improved model achieved higher segmentation accuracy by 64.31%,improved 11.47% in mIoU compared with the conventional 2DPASS model(baseline:52.84%).It was more effective at detecting small and distant objects and clearly identifying boundaries between different classes.Issues such as noise and variations in data distribution affected its accuracy,indicating the need for further refinement.Overall,the proposed improvements to the 2DPASS model demonstrated the potential to advance semantic segmentation technology and contributed to a more reliable perception of complex,dynamic environments in autonomous vehicles.Accurate segmentation enhances the vehicle’s ability to distinguish different objects,and this improvement directly supports safer navigation,robust decision-making,and efficient path planning,making it highly applicable to real-world deployment of autonomous systems in urban and highway settings.

文摘Analyzing the driving behavior of autonomous vehicles(AV)in mixed traffic conditions at urban intersections has become increasingly important for improving intersection design,providing infrastructure-based guidance information,and developing capability-enhanced AV perception systems.This study investigated the contributing factors affecting AV driving behavior using theWaymo Open Dataset.Binarized autonomous driving stability metrics,derived via a kernel density estimation,served as the target variables for a random forest classification model.The model’s input variables included 15 factors divided into four types:intersection-related,surrounding object-related,road infrastructure-related,and time-of-day-related types.The random forest classification model was employed to identify the key factors affecting autonomous driving behavior.In addition,the identified factors were further ranked based on feature importance.SHAP analysis was utilized to enhance model interpretability by quantifying the contribution of each factor and identifying their directional impacts.The type of intersection factor was found to have an importance of 0.243 and was the most influential factor on autonomous driving behavior.On average,intersection-related factors had an importance of 0.196,which is approximately a 31.1%margin over the average importance of surrounding object-related factors.Additionally,the surrounding object-related factors that were collected through sensors on the autonomous vehicle had a high degree of feature importance,especially with the number of pedestrians having the highest importance(0.107)of the types of objects.The correlation between these findings can contribute to the development of various treatments to improvemore harmonized AVs’maneuvering with other road users and facilities in urban mixed traffic environments.

文摘Automation and intelligence have become the primary trends in the design of investment casting processes.However,the design of gating and riser systems still lacks precise quantitative evaluation criteria.Numerical simulation plays a significant role in quantitatively evaluating current processes and making targeted improvements,but its limitations lie in the inability to dynamically reflect the formation outcomes of castings under varying process conditions,making real-time adjustments to gating and riser designs challenging.In this study,an automated design model for gating and riser systems based on integrated parametric 3D modeling-simulation framework is proposed,which enhances the flexibility and usability of evaluating the casting process by simulation.Firstly,geometric feature extraction technology is employed to obtain the geometric information of the target casting.Based on this information,an automated design framework for gating and riser systems is established,incorporating multiple structural parameters for real-time process control.Subsequently,the simulation results for various structural parameters are analyzed,and the influence of these parameters on casting formation is thoroughly investigated.Finally,the optimal design scheme is generated and validated through experimental verification.Simulation analysis and experimental results show that using a larger gate neck(24 mm in side length) and external risers promotes a more uniform temperature distribution and a more stable flow state,effectively eliminating shrinkage cavities and enhancing process yield by 15%.
文摘This survey presents a comprehensive examination of sensor fusion research spanning four decades,tracing the methodological evolution,application domains,and alignment with classical hierarchical models.Building on this long-term trajectory,the foundational approaches such as probabilistic inference,early neural networks,rulebasedmethods,and feature-level fusion established the principles of uncertainty handling andmulti-sensor integration in the 1990s.The fusion methods of 2000s marked the consolidation of these ideas through advanced Kalman and particle filtering,Bayesian–Dempster–Shafer hybrids,distributed consensus algorithms,and machine learning ensembles for more robust and domain-specific implementations.From 2011 to 2020,the widespread adoption of deep learning transformed the field driving some major breakthroughs in the autonomous vehicles domain.A key contribution of this work is the assessment of contemporary methods against the JDL model,revealing gaps at higher levels-especially in situation and impact assessment.Contemporary methods offer only limited implementation of higher-level fusion.The survey also reviews the benchmark multi-sensor datasets,noting their role in advancing the field while identifying major shortcomings like the lack of domain diversity and hierarchical coverage.By synthesizing developments across decades and paradigms,this survey provides both a historical narrative and a forward-looking perspective.It highlights unresolved challenges in transparency,scalability,robustness,and trustworthiness,while identifying emerging paradigms such as neuromorphic fusion and explainable AI as promising directions.This paves the way forward for advancing sensor fusion towards transparent and adaptive next-generation autonomous systems.

文摘As carrier aircraft sortie frequency and flight deck operational density increase,autonomous dispatch trajectory planning for carrier-based vehicles demands efficient,safe,and kinematically feasible solutions.This paper presents an Iterative Safe Dispatch Corridor(iSDC)framework,addressing the suboptimality of the traditional SDC method caused by static corridor construction and redundant obstacle exploration.First,a Kinodynamic-Informed-Bidirectional Rapidly-exploring Random Tree Star(KIBRRT^(*))algorithm is proposed for the front-end coarse planning.By integrating bidirectional tree expansion,goal-biased elliptical sampling,and artificial potential field guidance,it reduces unnecessary exploration near concave obstacles and generates kinematically admissible paths.Secondly,the traditional SDC is implemented in an iterative manner,and the obtained trajectory in the current iteration is fed into the next iteration for corridor generation,thus progressively improving the quality of withincorridor constraints.For tractors,a reverse-motion penalty function is incorporated into the back-end optimizer to prioritize forward driving,aligning with mechanical constraints and human operational preferences.Numerical validations on the data of Gerald R.Ford-class carrier demonstrate that the KIBRRT^(*)reduces average computational time by 75%and expansion nodes by 25%compared to conventional RRT^(*)algorithms.Meanwhile,the iSDC framework yields more time-efficient trajectories for both carrier aircraft and tractors,with the dispatch time reduced by 31.3%and tractor reverse motion proportion decreased by 23.4%relative to traditional SDC.The presented framework offers a scalable solution for autonomous dispatch in confined and safety-critical environment,and an illustrative animation is available at bilibili.com/video/BV1tZ7Zz6Eyz.Moreover,the framework can be easily extended to three-dimension scenarios,and thus applicable for trajectory planning of aerial and underwater vehicles.
文摘At present,energy consumption is one of the main bottlenecks in autonomous mobile robot development.To address the challenge of high energy consumption in path planning for autonomous mobile robots navigating unknown and complex environments,this paper proposes an Attention-Enhanced Dueling Deep Q-Network(ADDueling DQN),which integrates a multi-head attention mechanism and a prioritized experience replay strategy into a Dueling-DQN reinforcement learning framework.A multi-objective reward function,centered on energy efficiency,is designed to comprehensively consider path length,terrain slope,motion smoothness,and obstacle avoidance,enabling optimal low-energy trajectory generation in 3D space from the source.The incorporation of a multihead attention mechanism allows the model to dynamically focus on energy-critical state features—such as slope gradients and obstacle density—thereby significantly improving its ability to recognize and avoid energy-intensive paths.Additionally,the prioritized experience replay mechanism accelerates learning from key decision-making experiences,suppressing inefficient exploration and guiding the policy toward low-energy solutions more rapidly.The effectiveness of the proposed path planning algorithm is validated through simulation experiments conducted in multiple off-road scenarios.Results demonstrate that AD-Dueling DQN consistently achieves the lowest average energy consumption across all tested environments.Moreover,the proposed method exhibits faster convergence and greater training stability compared to baseline algorithms,highlighting its global optimization capability under energy-aware objectives in complex terrains.This study offers an efficient and scalable intelligent control strategy for the development of energy-conscious autonomous navigation systems.

文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)plays a prominent role in various fields,and autonomous navigation is a crucial component of UAV intelligence.Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL)has expanded the research avenues for addressing challenges in autonomous navigation.Nonetheless,challenges persist,including getting stuck in local optima,consuming excessive computations during action space exploration,and neglecting deterministic experience.This paper proposes a noise-driven enhancement strategy.In accordance with the overall learning phases,a global noise control method is designed,while a differentiated local noise control method is developed by analyzing the exploration demands of four typical situations encountered by UAV during navigation.Both methods are integrated into a dual-model for noise control to regulate action space exploration.Furthermore,noise dual experience replay buffers are designed to optimize the rational utilization of both deterministic and noisy experience.In uncertain environments,based on the Twin Delay Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(TD3)algorithm with Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network and Priority Experience Replay(PER),a Noise-Driven Enhancement Priority Memory TD3(NDE-PMTD3)is developed.We established a simulation environment to compare different algorithms,and the performance of the algorithms is analyzed in various scenarios.The training results indicate that the proposed algorithm accelerates the convergence speed and enhances the convergence stability.In test experiments,the proposed algorithm successfully and efficiently performs autonomous navigation tasks in diverse environments,demonstrating superior generalization results.

文摘To address the challenge of achieving decentralized,scalable,and adaptive control for large-scale multiple unmanned aerial vehicle(multi-UAV)swarms in dynamic urban environments with obstacles and wind perturbations,we proposed a hybrid framework integrating adaptive reinforcement learning(RL),multi-modal perception fusion,and enhanced pigeon flock optimization(PFO)with curiosity-driven exploration to enable robust autonomous and formation control.The framework leverages meta-learning to optimize RL policies for real-time adaptation,fuses sensor data for precise state estimation,and enhances PFO with learned leader-follower dynamics and exploration rewards to maintain cohesive formations and explore uncertain areas.For swarms of 10–30 UAVs,it achieves 34%faster convergence,61%reduced stability root mean square error(RMSE),88%fewer collisions and 85.6%–92.3%success rates in target detection and encirclement,outperforming standard multi-agent RL,pure PFO,and single-modality RL.Three-dimensional trajectory visualizations confirm cohesive formations,collision-free maneuvers,and efficient exploration in urban search-and-rescue scenarios.Innovations include meta-RL for rapid adaptation,multi-modal fusion for robust perception,and curiosity-driven PFO for scalable,decentralized control,advancing real-world multi-UAV swarm autonomy and coordination.

文摘With the aim of sending electric power to autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs), an automatic wireless power supply system by means of electromagnetic coupler was proposed. An equivalent circuit of the electromagnetic coupler with compensating capacitors was presented to analyze the performance of the system.The magnetizing inductance and leakage inductance, which are important for choosing compensating capacitors,were calculated by finite element analysis(FEA) methods. Then the voltage gain, power loss and system efficiency were analyzed to optimize the winding turns. Finally, a phase-shift full bridge zero-voltage-switching converter and an electromagnetic coupler were produced. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed system has a high voltage gain with small variation and sufficient power feeding.

文摘Safe and efficient sortie scheduling on the confined flight deck is crucial for maintaining high combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier.The primary difficulty exactly lies in the spatiotemporal coordination,i.e.,allocation of limited supporting resources and collision-avoidance between heterogeneous dispatch entities.In this paper,the problem is investigated in the perspective of hybrid flow-shop scheduling problem by synthesizing the precedence,space and resource constraints.Specifically,eight processing procedures are abstracted,where tractors,preparing spots,catapults,and launching are virtualized as machines.By analyzing the constraints in sortie scheduling,a mixed-integer planning model is constructed.In particular,the constraint on preparing spot occupancy is improved to further enhance the sortie efficiency.The basic trajectory library for each dispatch entity is generated and a delayed strategy is integrated to address the collision-avoidance issue.To efficiently solve the formulated HFSP,which is essentially a combinatorial problem with tightly coupled constraints,a chaos-initialized genetic algorithm is developed.The solution framework is validated by the simulation environment referring to the Fort-class carrier,exhibiting higher sortie efficiency when compared to existing strategies.And animation of the simulation results is available at www.bilibili.com/video/BV14t421A7Tt/.The study presents a promising supporting technique for autonomous flight deck operation in the foreseeable future,and can be easily extended to other supporting scenarios,e.g.,ammunition delivery and aircraft maintenance.
