By employing multigroup mobile robots with binocular visual system, the real visual images of the object will be obtained. Then through the mobile self-organizing network, a three-dimensional model is rebuilt by synthesizing the returned images. On this basis, we formalize a novel algorithm for multichannel binocular visual three-dimensional images based on fast three-dimensional modeling. Compared with the method based on single binocular visual system, the new algorithm can improve the Integrity and accuracy of the dynamic three-dimensional object modeling. The simulation results show that the new method can effectively accelerate the modeling speed, improve the similarity and not increase the data size.展开更多

RCS is obtained through PO, PTD, MEC and IBC techniques. When calculating RCS of the target, it is necessary to get the unit normal vector to surface illumi- nated by radar and the value Z which is the distance from the point on the surface to radar. ln this novel approach, the unit normal vector to the surface can be obtained either by the Phong rendering model, in which the color components (RGB) of every pixel on the image are equal to the coordinate components of the normal, or by the NURBS expressions. The value Z can be achieved by software or hardware Z-buffer. The effects of the size of image on the RCS of target are discussed and the correct method is recommended. The RCS of the perfect conducting sphere, cylinder and dihedral as well as the coated cylinder, as some examples, are computed. The accuracy of the method is verified by comparing the numerical results with those obtained by using other methods.展开更多

文摘This study extends the self-propelled particle(SPP)model by incorporating a limited vision cone and local density sensing.The results reveal that clusters can simultaneously exhibit velocity polarization and spatial cohesion within specific ranges of vision angle and density threshold.The dependence of the dynamical features,including the order parameter and density variation,on the threshold and visual cone is investigated.Furthermore,a critical threshold is identified,which governs the transition between ordered and disordered states and is closely linked to density fluctuations and noise intensity.The clustering results show that the model is explained by the chasing mechanism responsible for cluster formation,density,and shape.These results may stimulate practical applications in swarm maneuvering.
文摘The field of artificial intelligence has advanced significantly in recent years,but achieving a human-like or Artificial General Intelligence(AGI)remains a theoretical challenge.One hypothesis suggests that a key issue is the formalisation of extracting meaning from information.Meaning emerges through a three-stage interpretative process,where the spectrum of possible interpretations is collapsed into a singular outcome by a particular context.However,this approach currently lacks practical grounding.In this research,we developed a model based on contexts,which applies interpretation principles to the visual information to address this gap.The field of computer vision and object recognition has progressed essentially with artificial neural networks,but these models struggle with geometrically transformed images,such as those that are rotated or shifted,limiting their robustness in real-world applications.Various approaches have been proposed to address this problem.Some of them(Hu moments,spatial transformers,capsule networks,attention and memory mechanisms)share a conceptual connection with the contextual model(CM)discussed in this study.This paper investigates whether CM principles are applicable for interpreting rotated images from the MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets.The model was implemented in the Rust programming language.It consists of a contextual module and a convolutional neural network(CNN).The CMwas trained on the rotated Mono Icons dataset,which is significantly different from the testing datasets.The CNN module was trained on the original MNIST and Fashion MNIST datasets for interpretation recognition.As a result,the CM was able to recognise the original datasets but encountered rotated images only during testing.The findings show that the model effectively interpreted transformed images by considering them in all available contexts and restoring their original form.This provides a practical foundation for further development of the contextual hypothesis and its relation to theAGI domain.
文摘The 3D visualization model of slop with structural plane can displayed the characters of structural plane in slop directly, and illustrated the spatial combination. It is a modem and critical question in the field of geotechnical engineering. Based on the peculiarity of the reconnaissance and the research of the visualization by formers, systemized the method fit for building 3D visualization model of slop with structural plane. Write the special program with Visual C^-+ computer language and illustrated it by OpenGL, the program can displayed and captured the random section plane. The program has a satisfied result by proving with the real projects.

文摘This article investigates virtual reality (VR)-based teleoperation with robustness against modeling errors. VR technology is an effective way to overcome the large time delay during space robot teleoperation. However, it depends highly on the accuracy of model. Model errors between the virtual and real environment exist inevitably. The existing way to deal with the problem is by means of either model matching or robot compliance control. As distinct from the existing methods, this article tries to combine m...
