We introduce a spin-locking method based on magnetic field modulation to overcome the NLZ effect and thus suppress the heading error in atomic magnetometers. The suppression effect of spin-locking is proportional to the amplitude of the modulation field. However, an excessively high modulation field amplitude can lead to broadening of the measurement linewidth. A novel model characterizing the linewidth for the amplitude of modulated magnetic field under different environmental magnetic field is established by considering the NLZ effect. From the test results, the novel model can more accurately predict the linewidth under different environmental magnetic fields compared with traditional models. The optimized amplitude of modulated magnetic field is obtained based on the linewidth model, and the heading error is suppressed by about 80% within the magnetic field inclination angle of 28.76°. The theory and method presented here are important for the application of magnetometers in Earth-scale magnetic field, which can suppress the heading error while keeping the linewidth unchanged.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This limitation hampers accurate identification of small objects on water surfaces. We introduce a multiattention and adaptive reparameterized feature pyramid network for small target detection on water surfaces (MARFPNet) to tackle this issue. First, to address the loss of small object features during extraction, we improved the attention mechanism based on the characteristics of small objects and proposed a multiattention module, integrating it into the feature extraction process. Second, to address the semantic information of small objects being retained mostly in shallow feature maps and not fully utilized, we introduced an adaptive reparameterized generalized feature pyramid network (Adaptive_RepGFPN). This module reorganizes features, expands the fusion scale, and incorporates adaptive weighting in the concat operation. Third, to overcome the challenge of ineffective restoration of feature map information by upsampling, we introduce the Dysample. Finally, to address the problem of the loss function being sensitive to scale changes, we propose the normalized Wasserstein distance (NWD) loss function to reduce the sudden drop in loss due to scale changes. We conducted experiments on VisDrone, SeaDronsSee, and the self-build dataset. MARFPNet showed higher accuracy compared to other detection algorithms. Notably, on the self-build dataset, mAP50 and mAP50:95 improved by 9.1% and 3.5% over the baseline network. This demonstrates MARFPNet’s effectiveness and suitability for detecting small targets in drone aerial photography on water surfaces.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing domain-adaptive transfer methods using cross-domain labeled samples for classification are too coarse and could lead to negative transfer problems. To solve this problem, we propose a prototypical contrastive domain adaptation (PCDA) network in this article. First, we align the data from different domains to reduce the data distribution differences for supporting the subsequent model construction. Then, a conditional domain adversarial network is used in the feature extraction stage to achieve domain alignment and learn deep feature representations. Second, we propose a scoring method to equivalently quantify the similarity of data from different domains using resting-state data and select similar source domain data to fine-tune the model. Finally, we propose a prototypical contrastive (PC) learning module. In-domain PC learning captures and compares the category-wise semantic structure of the data and the learned representations to enable the clustering of similar features. Cross-domain PC learning encodes and compares the semantic structure in shared embedding space to enable self-supervised feature alignment and reduce negative transfer.

To address the issue with both measurement noise and sensor fault, an iterative learning-based fault-tolerant control (ILFTC) strategy is presented when dynamics are completely unknown. First, an improved data-based unscented Kalman filter (UKF) mechanism is designed for the FTC scheme, which enhances the feasibility of the data-driven approaches under measurement disturbance. Then, the adaptive estimation algorithm with a switching mechanism is designed to improve the flexibility of the controller. Furthermore, a data-driven fault detection method is constructed under the framework of a broad learning system (BLS), which improves the detection accuracy while avoiding the need for precise model parameters in designing the fault detection observer. Finally, simulations and an application to the Franka-Panda robot demonstrate the superiority of the presented algorithm.

Classifying these objects precisely is a prerequisite for accomplishing object-specific manipulation tasks. However, it is time-consuming to collect large-scale object classification datasets. Inspired by the prompt tuning methods, we propose the PRO-CLIP network, which is a category measurement method for desktop objects. Specifically, PRO-CLIP performs few-shot classification based on the knowledge from pretrained vision-language model (VLM). It utilizes token-level and prompt-level optimal transportations (OTs) to jointly fine-tune the learnable vision-language prompts. For token-level stage, we propose the image patch reweighting (PR) mechanism to make alignments focus on the image patches that are close to the patch prototypes. This allows the patch embeddings have converging category representations, which reduces intraclass differences of visual features. For prompt-level stage, we propose a cascading OT (COT) module to simultaneously consider task-irrelevant knowledge in zero-shot features and task-specific knowledge in few-shot features. Due to the generalization performance of task-irrelevant knowledge, the proposed module achieves feature regularization during OT. Finally, we propose the UP loss to supervise the whole network. It contains unbalanced logit-level consistency losses and visual prototype loss. The logit-level consistency losses are used to make learnable features close to zero-shot features. The prototype loss makes the visual features approach to the corresponding prototypes in distance.

The aeroblade is an essential part of the aviation industry. The rapid inspection of complex aeroblade is crucial to aviation engine production and maintenance. As an emerging inspection technique, five-axis sweep scanning could achieve higher inspection efficiency compared to the traditional point-by-point probing and line scanning inspection. However, for surfaces with significant curvature variation, such as the blade cross section, the existing five-axis sweep scanning methods require the surface to be separated into patches and conduct inspection on each patch. This type of work pattern necessitates a transition move between each patch, which increases the inspection time and decreases the overall inspection efficiency. In this article, a probe-surface force model is proposed to facilitate the selection of stylus orientations, and an iterative algorithm is introduced to determine the optimal stylus orientations. The guiding curve and the probe head trajectory are synchronized using the dual nonuniform rational basis spline (NURBS) method, which settles the path generation failure at the high curvature region. The proposed method can generate a continuous five-axis sweep scanning path for a blade cross section without transition moves, which drastically boosts the inspection efficiency. Blade cross section inspection experiments are conducted using the proposed method, the patch-wise inspection method, and the line scanning inspection method. The experimental results show that the proposed method maintains the same level of inspection accuracy as both the patch-wise method and the line scanning method. Moreover, the proposed method has achieved a reduction in inspection time of 70.71% over the patch-wise method and 84.98% over the line scanning method, thereby validating its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
