To solve these problems, we proposed an improved anchor-free fully convolutional one-stage object detection(FCOS) algorithm. Firstly, we introduced the channel attention module squeeze excitation(SE)-Block in the FCOS backbone network, which was used to learn how to model the relative importance between different feature channels, and to achieve the weight recalibration of the features extracted from the convolution neural network, and improve the weight values that are more important for pedestrian target detection. Secondly, soft non-maximum suppression(Soft-NMS) replaced the conventional NMS within the algorithm's post-processing phase, which was used to reduce the probability of missed detection for occluded pedestrians. The experimental results show that our improved FCOS algorithm improves the average precision(AP) by 6.71% on the original dataset and 7.97% on the augmented KAIST pedestrian dataset compared with the original FCOS algorithm. Our improvements effectively meet the real-time requirements and there is no significant decrease in speed compared with the original FCOS algorithm, and decreased the false positives and false negatives for infrared image pedestrian detection.展开更多

摘要An optimized volt-ampere reactive(VAR)control framework is proposed for transmission-level power systems to simultaneously mitigate voltage deviations and active-power losses through coordinated control of large-scale wind/solar farms with shunt static var generators(SVGs).The model explicitly represents reactive-power regulation characteristics of doubly-fed wind turbines and PV inverters under real-time meteorological conditions,and quantifies SVG high-speed compensation capability,enabling seamless transition from localized VAR management to a globally coordinated strategy.An enhanced adaptive gain-sharing knowledge optimizer(AGSK-SD)integrates simulated annealing and diversity maintenance to autonomously tune voltage-control actions,renewable source reactive-power set-points,and SVG output.The algorithm adaptively modulates knowledge factors and ratios across search phases,performs SA-based fine-grained local exploitation,and periodically re-injects population diversity to prevent premature convergence.Comprehensive tests on IEEE 9-bus and 39-bus systems demonstrate AGSK-SD’s superiority over NSGA-II and MOPSO in hypervolume(HV),inverse generative distance(IGD),and spread metrics while maintaining acceptable computational burden.The method reduces network losses from 2.7191 to 2.15 MW(20.79%reduction)and from 15.1891 to 11.22 MW(26.16%reduction)in the 9-bus and 39-bus systems respectively.Simultaneously,the cumulative voltage-deviation index decreases from 0.0277 to 3.42×10−4 p.u.(98.77%reduction)in the 9-bus system,and from 0.0556 to 0.0107 p.u.(80.76%reduction)in the 39-bus system.These improvements demonstrate significant suppression of line losses and voltage fluctuations.Comparative analysis with traditional heuristic optimization algorithms confirms the superior performance of the proposed approach.

摘要Optimization problems are crucial for a wide range of engineering applications,as efficient solutions lead to better performance.This study introduces an improved coati optimization algorithm(ICOA)that overcomes the primary limitations of the original coati optimization algorithm(COA),notably its insufficient population diversity and propensity to become trapped in local optima.To address these issues,the ICOA integrates three innovative strategies:Latin hypercube sampling(LHS),Lévyflight,and an adaptive local search.LHS is employed to ensure a diverse initial population,thereby laying a foundation for the optimization.Lévy-flight is utilized to facilitate an efficient global search,enhancing the algorithm’s ability to explore the solution space.The adaptive local search is designed to refine solutions,enabling more precise local exploration.Together,these strategies significantly improve the population’s quality and diversity,thereby improving the algorithm’s convergence accuracy and optimization capabilities.The performance of the ICOA is tested against several established algorithms,using 12 benchmark functions.Additionally,the ICOA’s practicality and effectiveness are demonstrated through application to a real-world engineering problem,specifically the design optimization of tension/compression springs.Simulation results show that the ICOA consistently outperforms the other algorithms,providing robust solutions for a wide range of optimization problems.

摘要This paper uses an innovative improved artificial bee colony(IABC)algorithm to aid in the fabrication of a highly responsive phasemodulation surface plasmon resonance(SPR)biosensor.In this biosensor’s sensing structure,a double-layer Ag-Au metal film is combined with a blue phosphoreneransition metal dichalcogenide(BlueP/TMDC)hybrid structure and graphene.In the optimization function of the IABC method,the reflectivity at resonance angle is incorporated as a constraint to achieve high phase sensitivity.The performance of the Ag-Au-BlueP/TMDC-graphene heterostructure as optimized by the IABC method is compared with that of a similar structure optimized using the traditional ABC algorithm.The results indicate that optimization using the IABC method gives significantly more phase sensitivity,together with lower reflectivity,than can be achieved with the traditional ABC method.The highest phase sensitivity of 3.662×106 °/RIU is achieved with a bilayer of BlueP/WS2 and three layers of graphene.Moreover,analysis of the electric field distribution demonstrates that the optimal arrangement can be utilized for enhanced detection of small biomolecules.Thus,given the exceptional sensitivity achieved,the proposed method based on the IABC algorithm has great promise for use in the design of high-performance SPR biosensors with a variety of multilayer structures.

摘要Traditional sampling-based path planning algorithms,such as the rapidly-exploring random tree star(RRT*),encounter critical limitations in unstructured orchard environments,including low sampling efficiency in narrow passages,slow convergence,and high computational costs.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel hybrid global path planning algorithm integrating Gaussian sampling and quadtree optimization(RRT*-GSQ).This methodology aims to enhance path planning by synergistically combining a Gaussian mixture sampling strategy to improve node generation in critical regions,an adaptive step-size and direction optimization mechanism for enhanced obstacle avoidance,a Quadtree-AABB collision detection framework to lower computational complexity,and a dynamic iteration control strategy for more efficient convergence.In obstacle-free and obstructed scenarios,compared with the conventional RRT*,the proposed algorithm reduced the number of node evaluations by 67.57%and 62.72%,and decreased the search time by 79.72%and 78.52%,respectively.In path tracking tests,the proposed algorithm achieved substantial reductions in RMSE of the final path compared to the conventional RRT*.Specifically,the lateral RMSE was reduced by 41.5%in obstacle-free environments and 59.3%in obstructed environments,while the longitudinal RMSE was reduced by 57.2%and 58.5%,respectively.Furthermore,the maximum absolute errors in both lateral and longitudinal directions were constrained within 0.75 m.Field validation experiments in an operational orchard confirmed the algorithm's practical effectiveness,showing reductions in the mean tracking error of 47.6%(obstacle-free)and 58.3%(with obstructed),alongside a 5.1%and 7.2%shortening of the path length compared to the baseline method.The proposed algorithm effectively enhances path planning efficiency and navigation accuracy for robots,presenting a superior solution for high-precision autonomous navigation of agricultural robots in orchard environments and holding significant value for engineering applications.
摘要Aimed at the long and narrow geometric features and poor generalization ability of the damage detection in conveyor belts with steel rope cores using the X-ray image,a detection method of damage X-ray image is proposed based on the improved fully convolutional one-stage object detection(FCOS)algorithm.The regression performance of bounding boxes was optimized by introducing the complete intersection over union loss function into the improved algorithm.The feature fusion network structure is modified by adding adaptive fusion paths to the feature fusion network structure,which makes full use of the features of accurate localization and semantics of multi-scale feature fusion networks.Finally,the network structure was trained and validated by using the X-ray image dataset of damages in conveyor belts with steel rope cores provided by a flaw detection equipment manufacturer.In addition,the data enhancement methods such as rotating,mirroring,and scaling,were employed to enrich the image dataset so that the model is adequately trained.Experimental results showed that the improved FCOS algorithm promoted the precision rate and the recall rate by 20.9%and 14.8%respectively,compared with the original algorithm.Meanwhile,compared with Fast R-CNN,Faster R-CNN,SSD,and YOLOv3,the improved FCOS algorithm has obvious advantages;detection precision rate and recall rate of the modified network reached 95.8%and 97.0%respectively.Furthermore,it demonstrated a higher detection accuracy without affecting the speed.The results of this work have some reference significance for the automatic identification and detection of steel core conveyor belt damage.

摘要The traditional A*algorithm exhibits a low efficiency in the path planning of unmanned surface vehicles(USVs).In addition,the path planned presents numerous redundant inflection waypoints,and the security is low,which is not conducive to the control of USV and also affects navigation safety.In this paper,these problems were addressed through the following improvements.First,the path search angle and security were comprehensively considered,and a security expansion strategy of nodes based on the 5×5 neighborhood was proposed.The A*algorithm search neighborhood was expanded from 3×3 to 5×5,and safe nodes were screened out for extension via the node security expansion strategy.This algorithm can also optimize path search angles while improving path security.Second,the distance from the current node to the target node was introduced into the heuristic function.The efficiency of the A*algorithm was improved,and the path was smoothed using the Floyd algorithm.For the dynamic adjustment of the weight to improve the efficiency of DWA,the distance from the USV to the target point was introduced into the evaluation function of the dynamic-window approach(DWA)algorithm.Finally,combined with the local target point selection strategy,the optimized DWA algorithm was performed for local path planning.The experimental results show the smooth and safe path planned by the fusion algorithm,which can successfully avoid dynamic obstacles and is effective and feasible in path planning for USVs.
摘要The improved cross-correlation algorithm for the strain demodulation of Vernier-effect-based optical fiber sensor(VE-OFS)is proposed in this article.The algorithm identifies the most similar spectrum to the measured one from the database of the collected spectra by employing the cross-correlation operation,subsequently deriving the predicted value via weighted calculation.As the algorithm uses the complete information in the measured raw spectrum,more accurate results and larger measurement range can be obtained.Additionally,the improved cross-correlation algorithm also has the potential to improve the measurement speed compared to current standards due to the possibility for the collection using low sampling rate.This work presents an important algorithm towards a simpler,faster way to improve the demodulation performance of VE-OFS.
