We propose a device attribution (DA) based cluster-by-cluster (CBC) communication strategy. The objective is to minimize UAV mission time while satisfying the required data amount of all devices. To this end, we propose a mission time optimization algorithm (MTOA), whose key lies in invoking DA mechanism to determine the device belonging in the coverage of overlapping clusters. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can effectively reduce the mission time compared with the baseline ones, offering an innovative method for solving complex device attribution issues.

This component is the foundation for vehicle decision-making and control, and is a guarantee of safety during the driving of the vehicle. The existing environment perception technology mainly targets well-lit environments and requires visible light imaging equipment. Therefore, in low visibility environments, this technology cannot make good judgments about the external environment. Many existing perception systems mainly rely on sensors. Under low visibility conditions, these sensors weaken their effectiveness due to signal transmission, reflection, or absorption, resulting in incomplete or distorted data collection. Reduced visibility often affects the sensing range of various sensors, hindering the system's ability to detect and recognize distant objects, thereby limiting the necessary advance warning and response time for safe navigation. In response to this issue, this study proposed a combined method of infrared imaging and polarized imaging to collect feature data on road conditions in low visibility environments. Then, the obtained images were denoised and enhanced. The processed images were input into the system for recognition, and the images were analyzed and recognized using a low visibility road situation semantic segmentation algorithm based on deep learning. The research outcomes denoted that the pixel accuracy, average pixel accuracy, and average intersection ratio of the variable weight combination model in polarized degree images were 91.2%, 89.1%, and 71.6%, respectively. Those in infrared images were 83.6%, 90.6%, and 62.1%, respectively. The various indicators of the variable weight combination model were higher than those of the U-shaped neural network model, indicating its performance is relatively excellent. The research results indicated that infrared imaging helps to acquire information at night or in low light conditions, while polarized imaging can provide better adaptation to cluttered light and reflections, enabling the system to provide more robust environmental sensing in complex weather conditions.

However, recent studies tend to focus solely on the impact of temperature as a single factor on crystal oscillator circuits, overlooking the circuit structure of the crystal oscillator itself. In this paper, a novel four-parameter crystal model of XOs is detailed demonstrated, and analyzed to interpret typical XO oscillation characteristics at room temperature. The relationship between the RLC circuit and the oscillation was investigated. Meanwhile, the study delves into the various factors that influence oscillation behavior, paving the way for a comprehensive understanding of XOs' performance characteristics. temperature sweep simulations were induced to verify the theory and found that the parameter drift and thermal perturbation are close to the theory we proposed, which can be applied in temperature-compatible XOs. The significance of this study lies not only in its contribution to the design and implementation of compact footprint XOs in the oscillator circuit platform but also in its provision of experimental evidence for fabricating wide temperature range compensated XO devices. The results show that the capacitance in the equivalent model of a crystal oscillator plays a dominant role in shaping the output waveform and exhibits relatively good temperature stability characteristics and serve as a valuable resource for engineers and researchers working on improving the performance and reliability of XOs, ultimately enabling the development of more advanced and efficient integrated circuits.</p>","PeriodicalId":100030,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Control for Applications","volume":"6 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adc2.192","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140432141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
