However, whether the technological revolution can achieve the people-oriented and inclusive development goal emphasized by the new urbanization strategy remains to be tested. This paper reviews the basic concept, functions and technical framework of smart community. The research on the four pilot communities in Jiangbei District shows that the decision-making of community affairs based on the platform has eliminated the dark box operation, enhanced the public trust of residents’ voting, stimulated the enthusiasm of residents to participate in community public affairs, and formed a new form of online consultation and autonomy of residents. The authors then discuss the prospects of smart community for inclusive development. This technology not only improves the efficiency of community governance, but also provides a platform for all residents to participate equally in community public affairs, reflecting the advantages of smart community construction in achieving inclusive development.","PeriodicalId":211011,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Universal Village (UV)","volume":"56 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116478462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use a new training scheme for marine microalgae detection that consists of two phases: a teacher benchmark model phase and a student model learning phase. Using teacher model supervision to get better student model training results. Through a simple and fast image fusion method, we can obtain more realistic algae-generated images to extend the training set and eventually improve the convergence speed and performance of the model. Based on the algorithms of YOLOv5 and YOLOv6, we use the DHLC backbone network fusion method to fuse features from different levels of C3 modules and BepC3 modules together as the input of the PANet middle layer. We also use the module in BoTNet network to obtain stronger feature extraction capability by introducing self-attention mechanism in the yolo model. Since there are many small targets in marine microalgae images, we also extend the YOLOv6l model to the more powerful YOLOv6l-P6 model, which can get better detection results in the input image size of 1280. In addition, we also use time-test augmentation (TTA), weighted boxes fusion (WBF) and Single-class wighted boxes fusion (SinWBF) techniques to optimize the performance of each class. These strategies greatly improve the model detection performance and robustness under the conditions of small amount of marine microalgae microscopic image data. Finally our solution won the first place on the “Vision Meets Algae” Object Detection Challenge, and got 58.25 MAP.","PeriodicalId":211011,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Universal Village (UV)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131880700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this uptick in persons with dementia (PWD), managing dementia-induced agitation, a behavior present in 90 precent of PWD characterized by physical aggression, verbal outburst, or other troubling behavior, is a pressing issue [1]. Caregiver burden associated with agitation is one of the leading causes a community-based PWD is institutionalized [2], so by supporting PWD-caregiver dyads, we improve individual quality of life and relieve stress placed on the global healthcare system. Use of AI technology, big data, and integrated networks of wearable and ambient sensors has enabled continuous monitoring of dementia care. However, most methods focus on data collection at the early stages of dementia. More research is needed on how novel technologies can empower PWD and their caregivers to take action to manage agitation and support them in the long term as symptoms progress. Moreover, current methods have not taken full advantage of the information obtained and do not provide personalized care. In this paper, we use the Universal Village (UV) perspective to evaluate the current status of smart technologies with the potential for use in preventing and mitigating agitation while providing support to the caregiver. We conduct evaluations based on the framework of a closed feedback control loop: data acquisition, communication, decision making, and action. We propose that a robust PWD agitation management system should take into consideration the interaction between the smart healthcare system and other seven smart city subsystems: smart home, intelligent transportation, urban planning and crowd management, smart energy management, smart city infrastructure, smart response system for city emergency, smart environmental protection and smart humanity, and also study how managing agitation would be affected by four major impacting factors of smart cities: information flow, material cycle, lifestyle, and community. This systematic study will help us explore in depth the complicated dynamic relationship between multiple impacting factors and propose a UV-oriented, integrated, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable development framework design. As such, the novel framework will improve PWD quality of life and reduce the care burden for formal and informal caregivers through continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, life-long agitation management throughout different stages of dementia, PWD-caregiver dyad-specific guidance, preventive healthcare, and timely treatment.","PeriodicalId":211011,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Universal Village (UV)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130225421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When clustering is performed, the general clustering methods inevitably put different vehicles together due to the high similarity. We propose a new re-identification method to solve these problems. This method is based on clustering and use the unsupervised learning. First, we employ the vision transformer structure as a feature extractor. The vision transformer structure can obtain more discriminative and correlated features than the general convolution. Second, we use a fine-grained clustering method to subdivide the clustered information into different vehicles.

This paper mainly presents a design of a rear-mountable intelligent street light which can be installed on light posts easily. On one hand, based on the original street lights, it can fulfill all the functions of a street light after installation without the costs of replacing existing street lights. On the other hand, our approach can eliminate a lot of disassembly and installation procedures, which typically involve many engineering costs. On top of the functions provided by traditional street lights, we propose to include a AI-supported camera for traffic and parking monitoring, a full-coverage Wi-Fi access point, a laser sensor for intelligent monitoring of pedestrians crossing the road, and an electric car charging point. The co-development of the companion app can operate selected functions, for example, parking reservation and electric car charging, of the intelligent street lights. This proposal has been tested in a controlled lab environment which shows the feasibility of hardware selection, welding approaches, and the companion app design.
