To tackle the challenge of intelligent recognition of complex radar jamming signals, we introduce the large-scale active radar jamming database (LARJD). This comprehensive database includes 19 distinct types of jamming signals and contains a total of 66500 time-series samples across five radar frequency bands, providing a robust dataset for radar jamming signal recognition. In parallel, we propose the multiclass time-series signal recognition network (MTSS-2DCNN), a deep learning architecture designed for classifying multiple types of time-series signals, including radar jamming signals. The MTSS-2DCNN architecture comprises three 2-D convolutional neural networks (2DCNNs), which extract features from both the time- and frequency-domain representations of the time-series data. By using a 2-D network structure to process 1-D signals, MTSS-2DCNN captures high-dimensional features from sequential signals while preserving the inherent characteristics of the temporal data. The model’s generalization capability is further enhanced through K-fold cross-validation and an adaptive learning rate adjustment strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an impressive accuracy of over 99.67% on the LARJD, with significantly shorter training times compared to existing approaches. Moreover, by pretraining radar jamming signal recognition models, ECM applications can substantially improve the efficiency of intelligent recognition systems in both engineering and military contexts.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 11","pages":"20051-20066"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144205905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we propose a fast, high-quality, and effective method for creating 3-D digital humans from monocular videos, achieving fast training (2.5 min) and real-time rendering. Specifically, we use 3-D Gaussian splatting (3DGS), based on the introduction of skinned multiperson linear model (SMPL) human structure prior, and an optimized Kolmogorov-Arnold network (KAN) neural network to build effective posture and linear blend skinning (LBS) weight estimation module to quickly and accurately learn the fine details of the 3-D human body. In addition, to achieve fast optimization in the densification and prune stages, we propose a two-stage optimization method. First, the local 3-D area that needs to be densified is extracted based on LightGlue, and then KL divergence combined with human body prior is further used to guide Gaussian splitting/cloning and merging operations. We conducted extensive experiments on the ZJU_MoCap dataset, and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and learned perceptual image patch similarity (LPIPS) metrics indicate that we effectively improved rendering quality while ensuring rendering speed.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"24509-24516"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144550174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, detecting and characterizing large-area corrosion pits poses challenges as they often fails to produce distinct echoes. To address this issue, guided waves attenuation has been proposed as a potential solution, prompting the need to investigate the attenuation behavior of guided waves in the context of large-area corrosion pits. Corroded high-strength steel wire samples were obtained by accelerating corrosion using a neutral salt spray. Surface corrosion morphology was captured using a 3-D optical scanner, and the guided waves attenuation was measured across varying degrees of corrosion. An algorithm was developed to automate the identification of corrosion pits, followed by statistical analysis of pit parameters. The findings revealed four representative morphologies on corroded steel wires, with pit parameters and guided waves attenuation evolving in accordance with the mass loss ratio. The contributions of pit parameters to scattering attenuation are ranked in the order of pit volume, pit area, pit sharpness, and pit depth. Guided wave scattering attenuation is more sensitive to larger values of pit parameters, with only pit sharpness and pit depth exhibiting a critical threshold effect. Furthermore, statistical models were formulated to predict the probabilistic characteristics of corrosion morphology based on detection outcomes.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"23913-23925"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this problem, we propose a data processing method to remove the noise and improve the accuracy of first-photon signal selection. Using this method, we conducted a 10 km first-photon imaging experiment in an urban environment and reduced the root-mean-square error (RMSE) value of the first photon 3-D reconstructed image by more than 50% compared with the conventional data processing method.

Many studies have proposed different methods of fabrication for these sensors, but the simplest ones include those made using knitting, stitching, or embroidering to create resistive strain sensors. However, the reliability of these sensors is influenced by the amount of contact points of the conductive thread used at any given time. These contact points can suffer from deformations due to forces applied during each stretching cycle, which can affect the sensor response and produce erroneous measurements. These issues can be avoided by creating embroidered sensors with patterns that do not affect the contact points of the stitches. Still, forces applied directly to the conductive thread can cause irreparable damage to the sensor. Therefore, in this study, a novel embroidered strain sensor is created using a honeycomb pattern. This pattern has two main purposes: a distribution of the axial forces across the walls of the pattern to protect the conductive thread and the addition of stretchiness to the embroidered sensor. Sensors created using this pattern were embroidered onto an elastic band and then attached to a strain divider system to increase the stretchability of the sensor further. After 50 stretching cycles, sensors showed good linearity, an average gauge factor (GF) of 0.24, an average hysteresis of 36.85%, and a 55.56% working range. These results show that the proposed sensor is robust to thread damages, thus making it a viable alternative for strain sensing applications.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 13","pages":"24396-24406"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144550095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we measured the resistance changing behavior of the MOS gas sensors during the power-on period in pure air (power-on data). Second, their response behaviors, including response signal as well as recovery time, in the target hydrogen gas of varying concentrations (from 20 to 1000 ppm) were collected (signal data). The initial power-on data and the signal data were found to be closely related based on a neural network model, therefore one can use just the power-on data to predict the gas sensor’s signal in the target gas at different concentrations. Thus, the tedious calibration work for these MOS gas sensors in real target gas can be dispensable. Two types of neural networks were used for the model: Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Experimental results indicate that the CNN outperforms the ANN in both response signal and recovery time predictions, with an average voltage prediction error of 0.166 V and an average recovery time prediction error of 4.746 s.

However, the 3D-AFM has several disadvantages. First, the physical AFM tip occupies space and may sometimes obstruct the scanning process, creating distorted results, especially for vertical sidewalls. Additionally, the traditional AFM scanning scheme results in sparser data density along steep surfaces. In this work, to alleviate distortion, the AFM probe is allowed to rotate. Moreover, the scanning speed along the fast axis in a scan line has to be adaptive according to terrain variation. Therefore, we aim to develop and implement an intelligent AFM scanning process assisted by the proposed probe rotation decision (PRD) and adaptive speed decision (ASD) modules, enabling the AFM probe to achieve online rotation and variable scan speed. Moreover, methods for online coarse compensation and offline fine compensation are also presented to accurately eliminate tip shifts caused by probe rotation. Finally, some comparison results will be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent scanning process.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"264-276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
