Due to the large number of concurrent users and large volume of vector data, CyberGIS faces a great chal- lenge in how to improve performance. The real-time visual- ization of vector maps is the most common function in Cyber- GIS applications, and it is time-consuming especially when the data volume becomes large. So, how to improve the effi- ciency of visualization of large vector maps is still a signif- icant research direction for GIScience scientists. In this re- search, we review the existing three optimization strategies, and determine that the third category strategy (i.e., parallel optimization) is appropriate for the real-time visualization of large vector maps. One of the key issues of parallel optimiza- tion is how to decompose the real-time visualization tasks into balanced sub tasks while taking into consideration the spatial heterogeneous characteristics. We put forward some rules that the decomposition should conform to, and design a real-time visualization framework for large vector maps. We focus on a balanced decomposition approach that can assure efficiency and effectiveness. Considering the spatial hetero- geneous characteristic of vector data, we use a "horizontal grid, vertical multistage" approach to construct a spatial point distribution information grid. The load balancer analyzes the spatial characteristics of the map requests and decomposes the real-time viewshed into multiple balanced sub viewsheds.Then, all the sub viewsheds are distributed to multiple server nodes to be executed in parallel, so as to improve the real- time visualization efficiency of large vector maps. A group of experiments have been conducted by us. The analysis results demonstrate that the approach proposed in this research has the ability of balanced decomposition, and it is efficient and effective for all geometry types of vector data.展开更多

文摘People with visual impairments face substantial navigation difficulties in residential and unfamiliar indoor spaces.Neither canes nor verbal navigation systems possess adequate features to deliver real-time spatial awareness to users.This research work represents a feasibility study for the wearable IoT-based indoor object detection assistant system architecture that employs a real-time indoor object detection approach to help visually impaired users recognize indoor objects.The system architecture includes four main layers:Wearable Internet of Things(IoT),Network,Cloud,and Indoor Object Detection Layers.The wearable hardware prototype is assembled using a Raspberry Pi 4,while the indoor object detection approach exploits YOLOv11.YOLOv11 represents the cutting edge of deep learning models optimized for both speed and accuracy in recognizing objects and powers the research prototype.In this work,we used a prototype implementation,comparative experiments,and two datasets compiled from Furniture Detection(i.e.,from Roboflow Universe)and Kaggle,which comprises 3000 images evenly distributed across three object categories,including bed,sofa,and table.In the evaluation process,the Raspberry Pi is only used for a feasibility demonstration of real-time inference performance(e.g.,latency and memory consumption)on embedded hardware.We also evaluated YOLOv11 by comparing its performance with other current methodologies,which involved a Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)(MobileNet-Single Shot MultiBox Detector(SSD))model together with the RTDETR Vision Transformer.The experimental results show that YOLOv11 stands out by reaching an average of 99.07%,98.51%,97.96%,and 98.22%for the accuracy,precision,recall,and F1-score,respectively.This feasibility study highlights the effectiveness of Raspberry Pi 4 and YOLOv11 in real-time indoor object detection,paving the way for structured user studies with visually impaired people in the future to evaluate their real-world use and impact.

文摘With the dramatic development of spatial data in- frastructure, CyberGIS has become significant for geospatial data sharing. Due to the large number of concurrent users and large volume of vector data, CyberGIS faces a great chal- lenge in how to improve performance. The real-time visual- ization of vector maps is the most common function in Cyber- GIS applications, and it is time-consuming especially when the data volume becomes large. So, how to improve the effi- ciency of visualization of large vector maps is still a signif- icant research direction for GIScience scientists. In this re- search, we review the existing three optimization strategies, and determine that the third category strategy (i.e., parallel optimization) is appropriate for the real-time visualization of large vector maps. One of the key issues of parallel optimiza- tion is how to decompose the real-time visualization tasks into balanced sub tasks while taking into consideration the spatial heterogeneous characteristics. We put forward some rules that the decomposition should conform to, and design a real-time visualization framework for large vector maps. We focus on a balanced decomposition approach that can assure efficiency and effectiveness. Considering the spatial hetero- geneous characteristic of vector data, we use a "horizontal grid, vertical multistage" approach to construct a spatial point distribution information grid. The load balancer analyzes the spatial characteristics of the map requests and decomposes the real-time viewshed into multiple balanced sub viewsheds.Then, all the sub viewsheds are distributed to multiple server nodes to be executed in parallel, so as to improve the real- time visualization efficiency of large vector maps. A group of experiments have been conducted by us. The analysis results demonstrate that the approach proposed in this research has the ability of balanced decomposition, and it is efficient and effective for all geometry types of vector data.
文摘Objective The study of medicine formulas is a core component of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),yet traditional learning methods often lack interactivity and contextual understanding,making it challenging for beginners to grasp the intricate composition rules of formulas.To address this gap,we introduce Formula-S,a situated visualization method for TCM formula learning in augmented reality(AR)and evaluate its performance.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Formula-S in enhancing TCM formula learning for beginners by comparing it with traditional text-based formula learning and web-based visualization.Methods Formula-S is an interactive AR tool designed for TCM formula learning,featuring three modes(3D,Web,and Table).The dataset included TCM formulas and herb properties extracted from authoritative references,including textbook and the SymMap database.In Formula-S,the hierarchical visualization of the formulas as herbal medicine compositions,is linked to the multidimensional herb attribute visualization and embedded in the real world,where real herb samples are presented.To evaluate its effectiveness,a controlled study(n=30)was conducted.Participants who had no formal TCM knowledge were tasked with herbal medicine identification,formula composition,and recognition.In the study,participants interacted with the AR tool through HoloLens 2.Data were collected on both task performance(accuracy and response time)and user experience,with a focus on task efficiency,accuracy,and user preference across the different learning modes.Results The situated visualization method of Formula-S had comparable accuracy to other methods but shorter response time for herbal formula learning tasks.Regarding user experience,our new approach demonstrated the highest system usability and lowest task load,effectively reducing cognitive load and allowing users to complete tasks with greater ease and efficiency.Participants reported that Formula-S enhanced their learning experience through its intuitive interface and immersive AR environment,suggesting this approach offers usability advantages for TCM education.Conclusions The situated visualization method in Formula-S offers more efficient and accurate searching capabilities compared to traditional and web-based methods.Additionally,it provides superior contextual understanding of TCM formulas,making it a promising new solution for TCM learning.

文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients.Recognizing Medical-Related Human Activities(MRHA)is pivotal for healthcare systems,particularly for identifying actions critical to patient well-being.However,challenges such as high computational demands,low accuracy,and limited adaptability persist in Human Motion Recognition(HMR).While some studies have integrated HMR with IoT for real-time healthcare applications,limited research has focused on recognizing MRHA as essential for effective patient monitoring.This study proposes a novel HMR method tailored for MRHA detection,leveraging multi-stage deep learning techniques integrated with IoT.The approach employs EfficientNet to extract optimized spatial features from skeleton frame sequences using seven Mobile Inverted Bottleneck Convolutions(MBConv)blocks,followed by Convolutional Long Short Term Memory(ConvLSTM)to capture spatio-temporal patterns.A classification module with global average pooling,a fully connected layer,and a dropout layer generates the final predictions.The model is evaluated on the NTU RGB+D 120 and HMDB51 datasets,focusing on MRHA such as sneezing,falling,walking,sitting,etc.It achieves 94.85%accuracy for cross-subject evaluations and 96.45%for cross-view evaluations on NTU RGB+D 120,along with 89.22%accuracy on HMDB51.Additionally,the system integrates IoT capabilities using a Raspberry Pi and GSM module,delivering real-time alerts via Twilios SMS service to caregivers and patients.This scalable and efficient solution bridges the gap between HMR and IoT,advancing patient monitoring,improving healthcare outcomes,and reducing costs.

文摘With the development of anti-virus technology,malicious documents have gradually become the main pathway of Advanced Persistent Threat(APT)attacks,therefore,the development of effective malicious document classifiers has become particularly urgent.Currently,detection methods based on document structure and behavioral features encounter challenges in feature engineering,these methods not only have limited accuracy,but also consume large resources,and usually can only detect documents in specific formats,which lacks versatility and adaptability.To address such problems,this paper proposes a novel malicious document detection method-visualizing documents as GGE images(Grayscale,Grayscale matrix,Entropy).The GGE method visualizes the original byte sequence of the malicious document as a grayscale image,the information entropy sequence of the document as an entropy image,and at the same time,the grayscale level co-occurrence matrix and the texture and spatial information stored in it are converted into grayscale matrix image,and fuses the three types of images to get the GGE color image.The Convolutional Block Attention Module-EfficientNet-B0(CBAM-EfficientNet-B0)model is then used for classification,combining transfer learning and applying the pre-trained model on the ImageNet dataset to the feature extraction process of GGE images.As shown in the experimental results,the GGE method has superior performance compared with other methods,which is suitable for detecting malicious documents in different formats,and achieves an accuracy of 99.44%and 97.39%on Portable Document Format(PDF)and office datasets,respectively,and consumes less time during the detection process,which can be effectively applied to the task of detecting malicious documents in real-time.

文摘BACKGROUND Epidemiological surveys indicate an increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)among children and adolescents worldwide.Due to rapid disease progression,severe long-term cardiorenal complications,a lack of effective treatment strategies,and substantial socioeconomic burdens,it has become an urgent public health issue that requires management and resolution.Adolescent T2DM differs from adult T2DM.Despite a significant increase in our understanding of youth-onset T2DM over the past two decades,the related review and evidence-based content remain limited.AIM To visualize the hotspots and trends in pediatric and adolescent T2DM research and to forecast their future research themes.METHODS This study utilized the terms“children”,“adolescents”,and“type 2 diabetes”,retrieving relevant articles published between 1983 and 2023 from three citation databases within the Web of Science Core Collection(SCI,SSCI,ESCI).Utilizing CiteSpace and VoSviewer software,we analyze and visually represent the annual output of literature,countries involved,and participating institutions.This allows us to predict trends in this research field.Our analysis encompasses co-cited authors,journal overlays,citation overlays,time-zone views,keyword analysis,and reference analysis,etc.RESULTS A total of 9210 articles were included,and the annual publication volume in this field showed a steady growth trend.The United States had the highest number of publications and the highest H-index.The United States also had the most research institutions and the strongest research capacity.The global hot journals were primarily diabetes professional journals but also included journals related to nutrition,endocrinology,and metabolism.Keyword analysis showed that research related to endothelial dysfunction,exposure risk,cardiac metabolic risk,changes in gut microbiota,the impact on comorbidities and outcomes,etc.,were emerging keywords.They have maintained their popularity in this field,suggesting that these areas have garnered significant research interest in recent years.CONCLUSION Pediatric and adolescent T2DM is increasingly drawing global attention,with genes,behaviors,environmental factors,and multisystemic interventions potentially emerging as future research hot spots.
文摘Along with process control,perception represents the main function performed by the Edge Layer of an Internet of Things(IoT)network.Many of these networks implement various applications where the response time does not represent an important parameter.However,in critical applications,this parameter represents a crucial aspect.One important sensing device used in IoT designs is the accelerometer.In most applications,the response time of the embedded driver software handling this device is generally not analysed and not taken into account.In this paper,we present the design and implementation of a predictable real-time driver stack for a popular accelerometer and gyroscope device family.We provide clear justifications for why this response time is extremely important for critical applications in the acquisition process of such data.We present extensive measurements and experimental results that demonstrate the predictability of our solution,making it suitable for critical real-time systems.
文摘Real-time semantic segmentation tasks place stringent demands on network inference speed,often requiring a reduction in network depth to decrease computational load.However,shallow networks tend to exhibit degradation in feature extraction completeness and inference accuracy.Therefore,balancing high performance with real-time requirements has become a critical issue in the study of real-time semantic segmentation.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a lightweight bilateral dual-residual network.By introducing a novel residual structure combined with feature extraction and fusion modules,the proposed network significantly enhances representational capacity while reducing computational costs.Specifically,an improved compound residual structure is designed to optimize the efficiency of information propagation and feature extraction.Furthermore,the proposed feature extraction and fusion module enables the network to better capture multi-scale information in images,improving the ability to detect both detailed and global semantic features.Experimental results on the publicly available Cityscapes dataset demonstrate that the proposed lightweight dual-branch network achieves outstanding performance while maintaining low computational complexity.In particular,the network achieved a mean Intersection over Union(mIoU)of 78.4%on the Cityscapes validation set,surpassing many existing semantic segmentation models.Additionally,in terms of inference speed,the network reached 74.5 frames per second when tested on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU,significantly improving real-time performance.

文摘Here,a novel real-time monitoring sensor that integrates the oxidation of peroxymonosulfate(PMS)and the in situ monitoring of the pollutant degradation process is proposed.Briefly,FeCo@carbon fiber(FeCo@CF)was utilized as the anode electrode,while graphite rods served as the cathode electrode in assembling the galvanic cell.The FeCo@CF electrode exhibited rapid reactivity with PMS,generating reactive oxygen species that efficiently degrade organic pollutants.The degradation experiments indicate that complete bisphenol A(BPA)degradation was achieved within 10 min under optimal conditions.The real-time electrochemical signal was measured in time during the catalytic reaction,and a linear relationship between BPA concentration and the real-time charge(Q)was confirmed by the equation ln(C0/C)=4.393Q(correlation coefficients,R^(2)=0.998).Furthermore,experiments conducted with aureomycin and tetracycline further validated the effectiveness of the monitoring sensor.First-principles investigation confirmed the superior adsorption energy and improved electron transfer in FeCo@CF.The integration of pollutant degradation with in situ monitoring of catalytic reactions offers promising prospects for expanding the scope of the monitoring of catalytic processes and making significant contributions to environmental purification.

文摘In this study,a high-confining pressure and real-time large-displacement shearing-flow setup was developed.The test setup can be used to analyze the injection pressure conditions that increase the hydro-shearing permeability and injection-induced seismicity during hot dry rock geothermal extraction.For optimizing injection strategies and improving engineering safety,real-time permeability,deformation,and energy release characteristics of fractured granite samples driven by injected water pressure under different critical sliding conditions were evaluated.The results indicated that:(1)A low injection water pressure induced intermittent small-deformation stick-slip behavior in fractures,and a high injection pressure primarily caused continuous high-speed large-deformation sliding in fractures.The optimal injection water pressure range was defined for enhancing hydraulic shear permeability and preventing large injection-induced earthquakes.(2)Under the same experimental conditions,fracture sliding was deemed as the major factor that enhanced the hydraulic shear-permeability enhancement and the maximum permeability increased by 36.54 and 41.59 times,respectively,in above two slip modes.(3)Based on the real-time transient evolution of water pressure during fracture sliding,the variation coefficients of slip rate,permeability,and water pressure were fitted,and the results were different from those measured under quasi-static conditions.(4)The maximum and minimum shear strength criteria for injection-induced fracture sliding were also determined(μ=0.6665 andμ=0.1645,respectively,μis friction coefficient).Using the 3D(three-dimensional)fracture surface scanning technology,the weakening effect of injection pressure on fracture surface damage characteristics was determined,which provided evidence for the geological markers of fault sliding mode and sliding nature transitions under the fluid influence.

文摘The exponential expansion of the Internet of Things(IoT),Industrial Internet of Things(IIoT),and Transportation Management of Things(TMoT)produces vast amounts of real-time streaming data.Ensuring system dependability,operational efficiency,and security depends on the identification of anomalies in these dynamic and resource-constrained systems.Due to their high computational requirements and inability to efficiently process continuous data streams,traditional anomaly detection techniques often fail in IoT systems.This work presents a resource-efficient adaptive anomaly detection model for real-time streaming data in IoT systems.Extensive experiments were carried out on multiple real-world datasets,achieving an average accuracy score of 96.06%with an execution time close to 7.5 milliseconds for each individual streaming data point,demonstrating its potential for real-time,resourceconstrained applications.The model uses Principal Component Analysis(PCA)for dimensionality reduction and a Z-score technique for anomaly detection.It maintains a low computational footprint with a sliding window mechanism,enabling incremental data processing and identification of both transient and sustained anomalies without storing historical data.The system uses a Multivariate Linear Regression(MLR)based imputation technique that estimates missing or corrupted sensor values,preserving data integrity prior to anomaly detection.The suggested solution is appropriate for many uses in smart cities,industrial automation,environmental monitoring,IoT security,and intelligent transportation systems,and is particularly well-suited for resource-constrained edge devices.

文摘In the foundry industries,process design has traditionally relied on manuals and complex theoretical calculations.With the advent of 3D design in casting,computer-aided design(CAD)has been applied to integrate the features of casting process,thereby expanding the scope of design options.These technologies use parametric model design techniques for rapid component creation and use databases to access standard process parameters and design specifications.However,3D models are currently still created through inputting or calling parameters,which requires numerous verifications through calculations to ensure the design rationality.This process may be significantly slowed down due to repetitive modifications and extended design time.As a result,there are increasingly urgent demands for a real-time verification mechanism to address this issue.Therefore,this study proposed a novel closed-loop model and software development method that integrated contextual design with real-time verification,dynamically verifying relevant rules for designing 3D casting components.Additionally,the study analyzed three typical closed-loop scenarios of agile design in an independent developed intelligent casting process system.It is believed that foundry industries can potentially benefit from favorably reduced design cycles to yield an enhanced competitive product market.

文摘Tree trunk instance segmentation is crucial for under-canopy unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)to autonomously extract standing tree stem attributes.Using cameras as sensors makes these UAVs compact and lightweight,facilitating safe and flexible navigation in dense forests.However,their limited onboard computational power makes real-time,image-based tree trunk segmentation challenging,emphasizing the urgent need for lightweight and efficient segmentation models.In this study,we present RT-Trunk,a model specifically designed for real-time tree trunk instance segmentation in complex forest environments.To ensure real-time performance,we selected SparseInst as the base framework.We incorporated ConvNeXt-T as the backbone to enhance feature extraction for tree trunks,thereby improving segmentation accuracy.We further integrate the lightweight convolutional block attention module(CBAM),enabling the model to focus on tree trunk features while suppressing irrelevant information,which leads to additional gains in segmentation accuracy.To enable RT-Trunk to operate effectively under diverse complex forest environments,we constructed a comprehensive dataset for training and testing by combining self-collected data with multiple public datasets covering different locations,seasons,weather conditions,tree species,and levels of forest clutter.Com-pared with the other tree trunk segmentation methods,the RT-Trunk method achieved an average precision of 91.4%and the fastest inference speed of 32.9 frames per second.Overall,the proposed RT-Trunk provides superior trunk segmentation performance that balances speed and accu-racy,making it a promising solution for supporting under-canopy UAVs in the autonomous extraction of standing tree stem attributes.The code for this work is available at https://github.com/NEFU CVRG/RT Trunk.
