First, the translational motion model is used because of the fact that complex motion can be decomposed as a sum of translational components. Then in this application, the edge gray horizontal and vertical projections are used as the block matching feature for the motion vectors estimation. The proposed algorithm reduces the motion estimation computations by calculating the onedimensional vectors rather than the two-dimensional ones. Once the global motion is robustly estimated, relatively stationary background can be almost completely eliminated through the inter-frame difference method. To achieve an accurate object extraction result, the higher-order statistics （HOS） algorithm is used to discriminate backgrounds and moving objects. Experimental results validate that the proposed method is an effective way for global motion estimation and object extraction.展开更多

For simplicity, a one-dimensional autoregressive （AR） process is used to model the time-varying channel, and the least square （LS） algorithm based on pilot signals is adopted to track the time-varying channel fading factor a. The low-dimensional Kalman filter estimator greatly reduces the complexity of the high-dimensional Kalman filter. To utilize the relationship of fading channel in frequency domain, a minimum mean-square-error （MMSE） combiner is used to refine the estimation results. The simulation results in the frequency band of 5.5 GHz show that the proposed method achieves a good symbol error rate （SER） performance close to the theoretical bound of ideal channel estimation.展开更多

The original periodogram algorithm yields an estimate by performing grid search of the peak of a spectrum, which is equivalent to the periodogram of the periodic point process, thus its performance is found to be sensitive to the chosen grid spacing.

Accurate state-of-health(SOH) estimation is critical for ensuring battery operational performance. Despite numerous data-driven methods reported in existing research for battery SOH estimation, these methods often exhibit inconsistent performance across different application scenarios. To address this issue and overcome the performance limitations of individual data-driven models,integrating multiple models for SOH estimation has received considerable attention. Ensemble learning(EL) typically leverages the strengths of multiple base models to achieve more robust and accurate outputs. However, the lack of a clear review of current research hinders the further development of ensemble methods in SOH estimation. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews multi-model ensemble learning methods for battery SOH estimation. First, existing ensemble methods are systematically categorized into 6 classes based on their combination strategies. Different realizations and underlying connections are meticulously analyzed for each category of EL methods, highlighting distinctions, innovations, and typical applications. Subsequently, these ensemble methods are comprehensively compared in terms of base models, combination strategies, and publication trends. Evaluations across 6 dimensions underscore the outstanding performance of stacking-based ensemble methods. Following this, these ensemble methods are further inspected from the perspectives of weighted ensemble and diversity, aiming to inspire potential approaches for enhancing ensemble performance. Moreover, addressing challenges such as base model selection, measuring model robustness and uncertainty, and interpretability of ensemble models in practical applications is emphasized. Finally, future research prospects are outlined, specifically noting that deep learning ensemble is poised to advance ensemble methods for battery SOH estimation. The convergence of advanced machine learning with ensemble learning is anticipated to yield valuable avenues for research. Accelerated research in ensemble learning holds promising prospects for achieving more accurate and reliable battery SOH estimation under real-world conditions.展开更多

A sparse basis expansion channel model in both time and frequency domain is given.Pilots are placed according to a novel random unit pilot matrix （RUPM） to measure the delay- Doppler sparse channel. The sparse channels are recovered by an extension group orthogonal matching pursuit （GOMP） algorithm, enjoying the diversity gain from multi-symbol processing. The relatively nonzero channel coefficients are estimated from a very limited number of pilots at a sampling rate significantly below the Nyquist rate. The simulation results show that the new channel estimator can provide a considerable performance improvement for the fast fading channels. Three significant reductions are achieved in the required number of pilots, memory requirements and computational complexity.展开更多

Finally, future research prospects are outlined, specifically noting that deep learning ensemble is poised to advance ensemble methods for battery SOH estimation. The convergence of advanced machine learning with ensemble learning is anticipated to yield valuable avenues for research. Accelerated research in ensemble learning holds promising prospects for achieving more accurate and reliable battery SOH estimation under real-world conditions.

文摘A compressed sensing （CS） based channel estimation algorithm is proposed in the fast moving environment. A sparse basis expansion channel model in both time and frequency domain is given.Pilots are placed according to a novel random unit pilot matrix （RUPM） to measure the delay- Doppler sparse channel. The sparse channels are recovered by an extension group orthogonal matching pursuit （GOMP） algorithm, enjoying the diversity gain from multi-symbol processing. The relatively nonzero channel coefficients are estimated from a very limited number of pilots at a sampling rate significantly below the Nyquist rate. The simulation results show that the new channel estimator can provide a considerable performance improvement for the fast fading channels. Three significant reductions are achieved in the required number of pilots, memory requirements and computational complexity.

文摘Developing sensorless techniques for estimating battery expansion is essential for effective mechanical state monitoring,improving the accuracy of digital twin simulation and abnormality detection.Therefore,this paper presents a data-driven approach to expansion estimation using electromechanical coupled models with machine learning.The proposed method integrates reduced-order impedance models with data-driven mechanical models,coupling the electrochemical and mechanical states through the state of charge(SOC)and mechanical pressure within a state estimation framework.The coupling relationship was established through experimental insights into pressure-related impedance parameters and the nonlinear mechanical behavior with SOC and pressure.The data-driven model was interpreted by introducing a novel swelling coefficient defined by component stiffnesses to capture the nonlinear mechanical behavior across various mechanical constraints.Sensitivity analysis of the impedance model shows that updating model parameters with pressure can reduce the mean absolute error of simulated voltage by 20 mV and SOC estimation error by 2%.The results demonstrate the model's estimation capabilities,achieving a root mean square error of less than 1 kPa when the maximum expansion force is from 30 kPa to 120 kPa,outperforming calibrated stiffness models and other machine learning techniques.The model's robustness and generalizability are further supported by its effective handling of SOC estimation and pressure measurement errors.This work highlights the importance of the proposed framework in enhancing state estimation and fault diagnosis for lithium-ion batteries.
