It can be widely used in medical diagnosis, unmanned driving, AR/VR, cultural relics restoration, and other fields. However, due to the complex information and cluttered features of indoor scenes, the existing feature matching algorithms and point cloud registration algorithms still have certain limitations in terms of computational efficiency and matching accuracy. Therefore, this paper firstly adopts a uniform extraction of ORB features method based on octree and a feature matching method based on colour and descriptor distance information and uses the RANSAC algorithm to eliminate mismatched points to obtain matching results with high accuracy. Secondly, this paper adopts a point cloud fine-registration method based on a double threshold constraint. Based on the point cloud normal vector angle threshold constraint, the search of the nearest neighbour point pair in the ICP algorithm is realized through the adaptive distance threshold constraint. Finally, experimental analysis is carried out in a real indoor scene to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in reconstruction efficiency and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":34110,"journal":{"name":"IET Cybersystems and Robotics","volume":"15 1","pages":"906-911"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88273516","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}

RGB-D-based methods have recently attained brilliant success, but they are still susceptible to heavy occlusion. Our critical insight is that color and geometry information in RGBD images are two complementary data, and the crux of the pose estimation problem under occlusion is fully leveraging them. Towards this end, we propose a new color and geometry feature fusion module that can efficiently leverage two complementary data sources from RGB-D images. Unlike prior fusion methods, we conduct a two-stage fusion strategy to do color-depth fusion and local-global fusion successively. Specifically, we fuse the color features extracted from RGB images into the point cloud in the first stage. In the second stage, we extract local and global features from the fused point cloud using an ASSANet-like network and splice them together to obtain the final fusion features. We conducted experiments on the widely used LineMod and YCB-Video datasets, which shows that our method improves the prediction accuracy while reducing the training time.","PeriodicalId":34110,"journal":{"name":"IET Cybersystems and Robotics","volume":"23 1","pages":"83-88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74599402","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}

By combining the gravitational forces of the droplet and the deformation of the magnetic membranes, the motion of the droplet can be controlled. Furthermore, the surface of membranes was ablated with a laser machine to impart superhydrophobic properties. The simulation results show that with the different magnetic fields, the droplet can move lengthwise, widthwise, and diagonally in the horizontal plane, and multiple droplets can be merged and mixed.

We propose a new method based on deep learning, which uses data collected by sensors before the grading process to predict the battery capacity, hoping to reduce the time consumed in the whole process. We propose an end-to-end battery capacity prediction model. In our processing steps, complex feature extraction steps are not needed. On the contrary, we use a residual network to complete it automatically. We modified the original ResNet to suit our task. Convolution1D and global pooling layers are used to extract the time series feature. To improve the model's accuracy, we design a fusion model to deal with the time series of multi-step processes. Transfer learning is applied to help us train the model faster.
