Deep Space Optical Network(DSON) is expected to become an important foundation and inevitable development trend of future deepspace communication. In this paper, we design a deep space node model which is capable of combining the space division multiplexing with frequency division multiplexing. Furthermore, we propose the directional flooding routing algorithm(DFRA) for DSON based on our node model. This scheme selectively forwards the data packets in the routing, so that the energy consumption can be reduced effectively because only a portion of nodes will participate the flooding routing. Simulation results show that, compared with traditional flooding routing algorithm(TFRA), the DFRA can avoid the non-directional and blind transmission. Therefore, the energy consumption in message routing will be reduced and the lifespan of DSON can also be prolonged effectively. Although the complexity of routing implementation is slightly increased compared with TFRA, the energy of nodes can be saved and the transmission rate is obviously improved in DFRA. Thus the overall performance of DSON can be significantly improved.展开更多

However, the DL netowrks have many parameters, which have a lot of influence on the performance of the network. We propose a genetic algorithm(GA) based deep belief neural network(DBNN) method for robot object recognition and grasping purpose. This method optimizes the parameters of the DBNN method, such as the number of hidden units, the number of epochs, and the learning rates, which would reduce the error rate and the network training time of object recognition. After recognizing objects, the robot performs the pick-andplace operations. We build a database of six objects for experimental purpose. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms on the optimized robot object recognition and grasping tasks.展开更多

文摘Accurate estimation of biomass is necessary for evaluating crop growth and predicting crop yield.Biomass is also a key trait in increasing grain yield by crop breeding.The aims of this study were(i)to identify the best vegetation indices for estimating maize biomass,(ii)to investigate the relationship between biomass and leaf area index(LAI)at several growth stages,and(iii)to evaluate a biomass model using measured vegetation indices or simulated vegetation indices of Sentinel 2A and LAI using a deep neural network(DNN)algorithm.The results showed that biomass was associated with all vegetation indices.The three-band water index(TBWI)was the best vegetation index for estimating biomass and the corresponding R2,RMSE,and RRMSE were 0.76,2.84 t ha−1,and 38.22%respectively.LAI was highly correlated with biomass(R2=0.89,RMSE=2.27 t ha−1,and RRMSE=30.55%).Estimated biomass based on 15 hyperspectral vegetation indices was in a high agreement with measured biomass using the DNN algorithm(R2=0.83,RMSE=1.96 t ha−1,and RRMSE=26.43%).Biomass estimation accuracy was further increased when LAI was combined with the 15 vegetation indices(R2=0.91,RMSE=1.49 t ha−1,and RRMSE=20.05%).Relationships between the hyperspectral vegetation indices and biomass differed from relationships between simulated Sentinel 2A vegetation indices and biomass.Biomass estimation from the hyperspectral vegetation indices was more accurate than that from the simulated Sentinel 2A vegetation indices(R2=0.87,RMSE=1.84 t ha−1,and RRMSE=24.76%).The DNN algorithm was effective in improving the estimation accuracy of biomass.It provides a guideline for estimating biomass of maize using remote sensing technology and the DNN algorithm in this region.

文摘Surface wave inversion is a key step in the application of surface waves to soil velocity profiling.Currently,a common practice for the process of inversion is that the number of soil layers is assumed to be known before using heuristic search algorithms to compute the shear wave velocity profile or the number of soil layers is considered as an optimization variable.However,an improper selection of the number of layers may lead to an incorrect shear wave velocity profile.In this study,a deep learning and genetic algorithm hybrid learning procedure is proposed to perform the surface wave inversion without the need to assume the number of soil layers.First,a deep neural network is adapted to learn from a large number of synthetic dispersion curves for inferring the layer number.Then,the shear-wave velocity profile is determined by a genetic algorithm with the known layer number.By applying this procedure to both simulated and real-world cases,the results indicate that the proposed method is reliable and efficient for surface wave inversion.

文摘With the development of science, economy and society, the needs for research and exploration of deep space have entered a rapid and stable development stage. Deep Space Optical Network(DSON) is expected to become an important foundation and inevitable development trend of future deepspace communication. In this paper, we design a deep space node model which is capable of combining the space division multiplexing with frequency division multiplexing. Furthermore, we propose the directional flooding routing algorithm(DFRA) for DSON based on our node model. This scheme selectively forwards the data packets in the routing, so that the energy consumption can be reduced effectively because only a portion of nodes will participate the flooding routing. Simulation results show that, compared with traditional flooding routing algorithm(TFRA), the DFRA can avoid the non-directional and blind transmission. Therefore, the energy consumption in message routing will be reduced and the lifespan of DSON can also be prolonged effectively. Although the complexity of routing implementation is slightly increased compared with TFRA, the energy of nodes can be saved and the transmission rate is obviously improved in DFRA. Thus the overall performance of DSON can be significantly improved.

文摘As a typical physical retrieval algorithm for retrieving atmospheric parameters,one-dimensional variational(1 DVAR)algorithm is widely used in various climate and meteorological communities and enjoys an important position in the field of microwave remote sensing.Among algorithm parameters affecting the performance of the 1 DVAR algorithm,the accuracy of the microwave radiative transfer model for calculating the simulated brightness temperature is the fundamental constraint on the retrieval accuracies of the 1 DVAR algorithm for retrieving atmospheric parameters.In this study,a deep neural network(DNN)is used to describe the nonlinear relationship between atmospheric parameters and satellite-based microwave radiometer observations,and a DNN-based radiative transfer model is developed and applied to the 1 DVAR algorithm to carry out retrieval experiments of the atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles.The retrieval results of the temperature and humidity profiles from the Microwave Humidity and Temperature Sounder(MWHTS)onboard the Feng-Yun-3(FY-3)satellite show that the DNN-based radiative transfer model can obtain higher accuracy for simulating MWHTS observations than that of the operational radiative transfer model RTTOV,and also enables the 1 DVAR algorithm to obtain higher retrieval accuracies of the temperature and humidity profiles.In this study,the DNN-based radiative transfer model applied to the 1 DVAR algorithm can fundamentally improve the retrieval accuracies of atmospheric parameters,which may provide important reference for various applied studies in atmospheric sciences.

文摘Collaborative vehicular networks is a key enabler to meet the stringent ultra-reliable and lowlatency communications(URLLC)requirements.A user vehicle(UV)dynamically optimizes task offloading by exploiting its collaborations with edge servers and vehicular fog servers(VFSs).However,the optimization of task offloading in highly dynamic collaborative vehicular networks faces several challenges such as URLLC guaranteeing,incomplete information,and dimensionality curse.In this paper,we first characterize URLLC in terms of queuing delay bound violation and high-order statistics of excess backlogs.Then,a Deep Reinforcement lEarning-based URLLCAware task offloading algorithM named DREAM is proposed to maximize the throughput of the UVs while satisfying the URLLC constraints in a besteffort way.Compared with existing task offloading algorithms,DREAM achieves superior performance in throughput,queuing delay,and URLLC.
文摘The performance of deep learning(DL)networks has been increased by elaborating the network structures. However, the DL netowrks have many parameters, which have a lot of influence on the performance of the network. We propose a genetic algorithm(GA) based deep belief neural network(DBNN) method for robot object recognition and grasping purpose. This method optimizes the parameters of the DBNN method, such as the number of hidden units, the number of epochs, and the learning rates, which would reduce the error rate and the network training time of object recognition. After recognizing objects, the robot performs the pick-andplace operations. We build a database of six objects for experimental purpose. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms on the optimized robot object recognition and grasping tasks.

文摘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)has emerged as a promising technology for the support of human activities,such as target tracking,disaster rescue,and surveillance.However,these tasks require a large computation load of image or video processing,which imposes enormous pressure on the UAV computation platform.To solve this issue,in this work,we propose an intelligent Task Offloading Algorithm(iTOA)for UAV edge computing network.Compared with existing methods,iTOA is able to perceive the network’s environment intelligently to decide the offloading action based on deep Monte Calor Tree Search(MCTS),the core algorithm of Alpha Go.MCTS will simulate the offloading decision trajectories to acquire the best decision by maximizing the reward,such as lowest latency or power consumption.To accelerate the search convergence of MCTS,we also proposed a splitting Deep Neural Network(sDNN)to supply the prior probability for MCTS.The sDNN is trained by a self-supervised learning manager.Here,the training data set is obtained from iTOA itself as its own teacher.Compared with game theory and greedy search-based methods,the proposed iTOA improves service latency performance by 33%and 60%,respectively.
文摘Early diagnosis and detection are important tasks in controlling the spread of COVID-19.A number of Deep Learning techniques has been established by researchers to detect the presence of COVID-19 using CT scan images and X-rays.However,these methods suffer from biased results and inaccurate detection of the disease.So,the current research article developed Oppositional-based Chimp Optimization Algorithm and Deep Dense Convolutional Neural Network(OCOA-DDCNN)for COVID-19 prediction using CT images in IoT environment.The proposed methodology works on the basis of two stages such as pre-processing and prediction.Initially,CT scan images generated from prospective COVID-19 are collected from open-source system using IoT devices.The collected images are then preprocessed using Gaussian filter.Gaussian filter can be utilized in the removal of unwanted noise from the collected CT scan images.Afterwards,the preprocessed images are sent to prediction phase.In this phase,Deep Dense Convolutional Neural Network(DDCNN)is applied upon the pre-processed images.The proposed classifier is optimally designed with the consideration of Oppositional-basedChimp Optimization Algorithm(OCOA).This algorithm is utilized in the selection of optimal parameters for the proposed classifier.Finally,the proposed technique is used in the prediction of COVID-19 and classify the results as either COVID-19 or non-COVID-19.The projected method was implemented in MATLAB and the performances were evaluated through statistical measurements.The proposed method was contrasted with conventional techniques such as Convolutional Neural Network-Firefly Algorithm(CNN-FA),Emperor Penguin Optimization(CNN-EPO)respectively.The results established the supremacy of the proposed model.

文摘The power transfer capability of the smart transmission gridconnected networks needs to be reduced by inter-area oscillations.Due to the fact that inter-area modes of oscillations detain and make instability of power transmission networks.This fact is more noticeable in smart grid-connected systems.The smart grid infrastructure has more renewable energy resources installed for its operation.To overcome this problem,a deep learning widearea controller is proposed for real-time parameter control and smart power grid resilience on oscillations inter-area modes.The proposed Deep Wide Area Controller(DWAC)uses the Deep Belief Network(DBN).The network weights are updated based on real-time data from Phasor measurement units.Resilience assessment based on failure probability,financial impact,and time-series data in grid failure management determine the norm H2.To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework,a time-domain simulation case study based on the IEEE-39 bus system was performed.For a one-channel attack on the test system,the resiliency index increased to 0.962,and inter-area dampingξwas reduced to 0.005.The obtained results validate the proposed deep learning algorithm’s efficiency on damping inter-area and local oscillation on the 2-channel attack as well.Results also offer robust management of power system resilience and timely control of the operating conditions.
