Despite the progress in this field, current anomaly detection methods, such as the Spatial-Temporal Relationship (STR) algorithm, face limitations including high computational complexity due to simultaneous model calculations, delayed anomaly detection, and an inability to estimate anomalies in the remaining route during online detection. These limitations can lead to inefficiencies and reduced safety in real-world applications. In this paper, we address these limitations by introducing two novel algorithms: Anomaly Trajectory Detection based on Temporal model (ATTD) and Abnormal Trajectory Detection based on Dual Standards (ATDS). The ATTD algorithm simplifies the detection process by integrating a unified spatio-temporal model, which reduces computational complexity and accelerates the detection of anomalies. Furthermore, the ATDS algorithm introduces a proactive approach to anomaly detection that not only identifies anomalies in real-time but also predicts potential deviations in the remaining trajectory, thus providing a more comprehensive and timely detection mechanism. Through extensive experiments on real taxi trajectory datasets, we demonstrate that our algorithms significantly outperform the STR algorithm and other existing methods in terms of detection accuracy and computational efficiency. Our work contributes to the field by providing a more robust and efficient approach to anomaly trajectory detection.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8041,"journal":{"name":"Applied Intelligence","volume":"55 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presented control scheme employs a direct vehicle-following approach where each vehicle in the platoon is responsible for following the directly preceding vehicle according to a nonlinear spacing policy. The proposed spacing policy is motivated by an approximation of a delay-based spacing policy and results in a generalization of the constant-headway spacing policy to the two-dimensional case. By input–output linearization, necessary and sufficient conditions for the tracking of the nonlinear spacing policy are obtained, which motivate the synthesis of the lateral and longitudinal controllers of each vehicle in the platoon. By deriving an internal state representation of the follower vehicle and showing input-to-state stability, the internal dynamics for each leader–follower subsystem are shown to be well-behaved. Furthermore, the spacing policy results in string-stable behavior of the platoon when driving in the longitudinal direction.

PMLSF integrates data from multiple sensors, including hydrophone, acoustic emission, and vibration sensors. The comparative analysis demonstrates that the PMLSF with multi-sensor systems substantially outperforms the CNN-based FSL (CNN-FSL) approach with single-sensor systems, achieving a leak detection accuracy of 97.1 % and leak location classification accuracy between 95.5 % and 97.4 %. Additionally, the study investigates the use of the acoustic emission sensor combined with CNN-FSL for early detection of material failure in pipes, demonstrated by a Pencil Test that achieved 92.3 % accuracy in detecting pencil breakage on the pipe. These results indicate that combination of CNN-FSL for the acoustic emission sensor and PMLSF offers a comprehensive solution for detecting and localizing existing leaks while predicting potential failures, thus laying a robust foundation for the development of reliable and efficient water distribution monitoring systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50523,"journal":{"name":"Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence","volume":"153 ","pages":"Article 110923"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this convenience often comes with challenges in quality control. Although factories currently conduct quality inspections of PLS component arrangements, these inspections mainly rely on manual visual detection methods, which are highly inefficient. This paper proposes an improved You Only Look Once version 8 (YOLOv8) instance segmentation network for PLS inspection. To address the difficulties in detecting PLS components, we introduced multilevel auxiliary information in tandem with the main branch, designed an additional small-target feature fusion layer and segmentation header, and enhanced the original YOLOv8. These improvements allow for the extraction and segmentation of cross-scale information, reducing information gradient loss. However, this approach generates excessive cross-scale information, requiring a balance between the fusion weights of large-scale and small-scale information. To achieve this, we introduced a multilevel feature fusion module Semantic and Detail Infusion (SDI) and a dynamic upsampling module (Dysample). Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved a mean average precision (mAP<sub>50</sub>) of 93.9 % and a detection speed of 108.7 Frames Per Second. Additionally, to support future research and applications, our method provides code that allows for direct derivation of the coordinates of each component class relative to the floor slab.

Essentially, the model learns that false relevant information in the data is caused by confounding factors. Therefore, this article proposes a video text retrieval method based on causal attention transformer. Assuming that the confounding factors affecting the performance of video text retrieval all come from the dataset, a structural causal model that conforms to the video text retrieval task is constructed, and the impact of confounding effects during data training is reduced by adjusting the front door. In addition, we use causal attention transformer to construct a causal inference network to extract causal features between video text pairs, and replace the similarity statistical probability with causal probability in the video text retrieval framework.
