However, the complete absence of historical data renders conventional traffic data imputation methods, including tensor decomposition and deep learning algorithms, ineffective. In this paper, a Spatio-temporal Copula (ST-Copula) method is proposed based on the theory of spatial statistics to interpolate traffic data in MBA. Firstly, based on the data series of observation points, the corresponding marginal distribution functions are obtained by data fitting. These marginal functions then be aggregated into a joint function using Copula theory. Secondly, a spatiotemporal correlation matrix is constructed with the spatial variation function to describe the dependent structure of the traffic data, and the maximum likelihood method is adopted to estimate the parameters. Finally, conditional probability density function is constructed according to the spatial location, and Monte-Carlo sampling is applied to deduce the traffic data of the MBA. Based on the above methodology, speed data from a freeway in Zhejiang Province are collected to evaluate the effectiveness of the ST-Copula model. The results showed that compared to Kriging and Copula-based methods, the ST-Copula achieves reductions of 36.4 % and 34.8 % in MAPE and RMSE values, respectively, across various conditions. ST-Copula reduces the limitations of inherent Gaussian assumptions in traditional spatial statistical methods, demonstrating robustness in handling high spatiotemporal variability. The proposed method demonstrates the feasibility of inferring global traffic conditions from limited observations, effectively allowing the monitoring of entire road networks using fewer detectors, thereby reducing road construction costs and rapid response to emergencies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116274"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701069","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 article’s main contribution is to improve defect detections’ accuracy and timeliness, which in turn contributes to the aircraft equipment operations’ reliability and safety. The developed method, leveraging an enhanced adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) neuro-fuzzy network with Sugeno-Takagi inference, significantly improves defect detection accuracy and reduces diagnostic errors, thereby enhancing the reliability and safety of flight operations. To implement it, the combustion chamber mathematical model was created based on the heat balance equation, which showed that the fuel combustion completeness coefficient is a diagnostic criterion for defects. It is mathematically substantiated that this coefficient determines combustion efficiency and directly affects thermal energy. The ANFIS with Sugeno-Takagi fuzzy inference architecture has been improved, making it possible to achieve the defects diagnosis and prediction accuracy of 99.65 %. The ANFIS neuro-fuzzy network with Sugeno-Takagi inference proposed in this work improves quality metrics for determining helicopter turboshaft engines’ combustion chamber defects, enhancing the fuel combustion completeness coefficient by 1.01 to 4.64 times. Experimental results show that optimal network training with a loss of 0.35 % is achieved in 60 epochs, which is 2.0 to 9.5 times faster than traditional algorithms (genetic algorithm, traditional backpropagation algorithm, traditional inverse gradient descending method, modified inverse gradient descending method, hybrid algorithm). The absence of hidden T-patterns in the fuel combustion completeness coefficient dynamics (the value does not exceed 10^–4) is also substantiated, confirming the proposed method’s high accuracy. The accumulated heat experimental surfaces’ dependences on the dynamics and fuel consumption were obtained, which makes it possible to analyze the defects’ influence on the combustion chamber’s thermal characteristics. The proposed ANFIS network use reduces the 1st and 2nd types’ errors by 1.44…6.15 times when determining combustion chamber defects compared to other architectures and classical methods, such as the least squares method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116267"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main challenges lies in extracting effective ReID features from complex scenes for data association. Complex scenes may cause targets to be detected but not tracked correctly. Light field cameras can simultaneously capture information from multiple viewing angles or light directions by using special optical components (such as microlens arrays) or sensor designs. Each pixel records the light entering the camera from different directions, allowing information from different viewing angles to be combined or reconstructed to form a complete image. To overcome this challenge, this paper utilizes light field cameras to acquire light field images and parse them into multi-view images. Through processing, the four-dimensional structure of the objects is mapped into epipolar plane images in specific directions. We designed an auto-encoder network to extract light field features from targets that were not successfully associated. In addition, we introduced a new strategy in the post-processing association stage of multi-target tracking by integrating the light field features into the general multi-target tracking framework as complementary features in the data association process. We have done a series of comparison and ablation experiments, and our multi-target tracking method achieves 86.4% of MOTA and 68.5% of HOTA in the same scenario, which is a better result compared to other SOTA tracking methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18349,"journal":{"name":"Measurement","volume":"242 ","pages":"Article 116205"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701540","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}

For successful silicate melt vitrification, molten salt formation during melter operation must be avoided. As such, proper process controls and continuous monitoring are critical to minimizing melting problems. Several in-situ process technologies for glass melters are well-developed; however, the lack of in-situ surface salt formation detection methods presents a risk to vitrification at the Waste Treatment &amp; Immobilization Plant (WTP) on the US Hanford Site. While proposed previously, millimeter wave (MMW) radiometry and interferometry are demonstrated for the first time for in-line detection of salt formation in simulated nuclear waste glass melts. The experimental radiometer and interferometer setup uses the optical properties of the melt and a dual receiver operating at ∼ 137 GHz to elucidate melting behavior. A series of previously characterized glasses supersaturated with sulfate (Na₂SO₄), chloride (NaCl), or fluoride (NaF) salts are analyzed using the MMW system. This provides insight into volatile losses, fining, salt formation, salt identity, crystallization, and optical properties of a heterogeneous melt. Relevant terahertz (MMW/THz) optical properties are also compiled. Millimeter wave measurements are evaluated here for the ability to detect phase changes in salt-forming glass melt compositions without opaque body radiometry assumptions.
