However, the practical implementation of these networks can be challenging due to their scale and complexity, making it difficult to implement them directly on devices with limited resources. To address this issue, a universal two-stage model compression approach has been implemented. During the initial phase, ShuffDet (SD) is introduced as a lightweight network architecture to reduce the structural parameters within the network effectively. During the second phase, probability distribution distillation (PDD) techniques are applied to the network post-lightweighting to mitigate the impact of structural lightening on network precision. The algorithm was tested using two public datasets, BDD100K and KITTI. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that this method enhances precision while substantially lowering the model’s complexity. To demonstrate its universality, we replaced the base network with YOLOX, which produced satisfactory results. To determine the effectiveness of the method in real-world deployment settings, we deployed the model on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano chip. The experimental outcomes confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed approach, achieving real-time detection standards. When compared to alternative lightweighting techniques, this method is more advantageous for deployment in ADSs.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 2","pages":"3735-3749"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142975778","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, we proposed a novel deep learning model based on partially fine-tuned VGG16 and ConvMixer for the automatic identification of various heart valve diseases (HVDs) from phonocardiogram (PCG) signals. The method involves preprocessing PCG signals and converting them into gammatone filterbank (GFB) based 2-D time–frequency images. To generate time–frequency images, we used gammatonegram, gammatone cepstral coefficients (GTCCs), and gammatone discrete wavelet coefficients (GDWCs) techniques. These time–frequency images are augmented to reduce overfitting and then fed into a VGG16 model. Partial fine-tuning of the VGG16 model accelerates convergence and further improves performance. By extending the VGG16 model with ConvMixer, Global AveragePooling, Dense, and Softmax layers, we enhance its capacity to capture intricate patterns. The ConvMixer enriches spatial and channelwise features using Depthwise and Pointwise convolutions. We also performed an ablation analysis to highlight the effect of ConvMixer with VGG16. In addition, performance evaluation based on precision, recall, F1-score, test accuracy, and validation accuracy reveals the efficacy of the proposed method. Comparisons between gammatonegram, GTCC, and GDWC show superior performance of gammatonegram, achieving a test accuracy of 99.60% and validation accuracy of 99.75%. Our approach demonstrates significant advances over existing methods, offering a promising solution for remote diagnosis of HVDs.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 2","pages":"3998-4005"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142993357","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, the source of the MEMS gyroscope error is analyzed and the error compensation model is established. Then, using the feature that the accelerometer has no cumulative error to design objective function, and the constraint conditions of the angle of gravity vector are designed by using anti-vibration magnetometer. Furthermore, on the basis of mayfly algorithm (MA), the upper and lower bounds are determined adaptively according to the relationship between the output of the gyroscope and magnetometer, aiming at the constantly changing gyroscope error parameters caused by the harsh environment in the drilling process. The relative error of gravitational modulus is used to design the inertia weight and balance the exploration and exploitation of the algorithm. Finally, according to the relative error of the magnetic-gravitational modulus, a mutation disturbance strategy is introduced in the offsprings to reduce the possibility of falling into the local optimal. The experimental results show that the gyroscope error after MGMA compensation is obviously decreased, the error of the inclination is reduced from 9.88° to 1.67°, and compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and MA algorithm, it has faster speed and higher accuracy.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 2","pages":"2392-2399"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142975960","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}
