Abstract

In the recent era of communication, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) emerged as a demanding area of study due to their communication capacity especially in the application of Internet of things (IoT). As the breadth and range of networks expand quickly, it becomes necessary to sense, transmit, and interpret the massive amount of data in IoT devices. WSN becomes even more beneficial and popular among the researchers when it integrates with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to increase the life span and establish a reliable communication between itself and Network Control Centre in an efficient way. Memory problems and network data transmission processing times are also addressed by this integrat... More >

Abstract

Speaker identification systems have gained significant attention due to their potential applications in security and personalized systems. This study evaluates the performance of various time and frequency domain physical features for text-independent speaker identification. Specifically, four key features—pitch, intensity, spectral flux, and spectral slope—were examined along with their statistical variations (minimum, maximum, and average values). These features were fused with log power spectral features and trained using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The goal was to identify the most effective feature combinations for improving speaker identification accuracy. The experimenta... More >

Abstract

The challenge of accurately estimating effort for software development projects is critical for project managers (PM) and researchers. A common issue they encounter is missing data values in datasets, which complicates effort estimation (EE). While several models have been introduced to address this issue, none have proven entirely effective. The Analogy-Based Effort Estimation (ABEE) model is the most widely used approach, relying on historical data for estimation. However, the common practice of deleting cases or cells with missing observations results in a reduction of statistical power and negatively impacts the performance of ABEE, leading to inefficiencies and biases. This study employ... More >

Abstract

With the increasing complexity of the working environment and the diversification of mission requirements of UAVs, traditional UAVs have a fixed structure and single function. It is difficult to be applied in occasions with complex environments and changing load demands. The modular reconfigurable flight array (MRFA) is composed of no less than four isomorphic unit modules that are freely spliced together. By adding or removing flight unit modules and adjusting the arrangement of flight unit modules, the configuration of the MRFA can be changed, so that it can adapt to complex environments and then complete different flight missions. In the process of MRFA research and development, online co... More >

Abstract

Accurate predictions of traffic flow are very meaningful to city managers. With such information, traffic systems can better coordinate traffic signals and reduce congestion. By understanding traffic patterns, navigation systems can provide real-time routing suggestions that avoid traffic jams, save time, and reduce fuel consumption. However, traffic flow will be interfered with by multiple factors such as collection time and place. In this paper, we propose to use stochastic configuration networks (SCNs) to predict the traffic flow. The network is trained through stepwise construction, and the network parameters are effectively optimized based on the approximation theorem and convergence an... More >

Abstract

A Novel simulation framework using self-governing drones is used to locate and reduce unauthorized drones in interior environments. The recommended method uses Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) to identify an alien agent drone, which has different signal characteristics than the approved swarm of UAVs. Real-time threat detection is possible with this technology. After detecting the drone, the swarm organizes itself to encircle and besiege it for 10 seconds, making it inert before returning to their original positions. This unique solution uses RSSI to quickly identify and mitigate enclosed area concerns. It provides a reliable and effective indoor drone security solution. The simulat... More >

This paper proposes designing and structuring a Cyber-Physical System (CPS) with a specific focus on vehicles equipped with on-board diagnosis (OBD-II). The purpose of the CPS is to collect and assess data pertaining to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU), such as engine RPM, speed, and other relevant parameters. The OBD-II scanner utilizes the obtained data on mass airflow (MAF) and vehicle speed to compute CO2 gas emissions and fuel consumption. The data is wirelessly communicated using a GSM module to a Semantic Web. The CPS also uses GPS tracking to ascertain the vehicle's whereabouts.

Abstract

Nowadays, state estimation is widely used in fields such as autonomous driving and drone navigation. However, in practical applications, it is difficult to obtain accurate target motion models and noise covariance.This leads to a decrease in the estimation accuracy of traditional Kalman filters. To address this issue, this paper proposes an adaptive model free state estimation method based on attention parameter learning module. This method combines Transformer's encoder with Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM), and obtains the system's operational characteristics through offline learning of measurement data without modeling the system dynamics and measurement characteristics.

Abstract

A pedestrian navigation system (PNS) that only relies on the foot-mounted IMU is useful for various applications, especially under some severe conditions, such as tracking of firefighters and miners. Due to the complexity of the indoor environment, signal occlusion problems could lead to the failure of certain positioning methods. In complex environments such as fire rescue and emergency rescue, the barometric altimeter fails because of the influence of air pressure and temperature.

To predict future trends based on the data from sensors is an important technology for many applications, such as the Internet of Things, smart cities, etc. Based on the predicted results, further decisions and system controls can be made. Raw sensor data sets are often complex non-linear data with noise, which results in the difficulty of accurate prediction. This paper proposes a distributed deep prediction network based on a covariance intersection (CI) fusion algorithm in which the deep learning networks, such as long-term and short-term memory networks (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit networks (GRU) are fused by CI fusion algorithm to effectively develop the performance of prediction.

Frontend feature tracking based on vision is the process in which a robot captures images of its surrounding environment using a camera while in motion. Each frame of the image is then analyzed to extract feature points, which are subsequently matched between pairwise frames to estimate the robot’s pose changes by solving for the variations in these points. While feature matching methods that rely on descriptor-based approaches perform well in cases of significant lighting and texture variations, the addition of descriptors increases computational costs and introduces instability. Therefore, in this paper, a novel approach is proposed that combines sparse optical flow tracking with Shi-Tom... More >
