However, when the posture graph's size increases with each additional camera movement, the optimization's efficiency diminishes. In terms of ongoing sensitive applications, such as extended reality and computer-generated reality, direction assessment is a major test. This research proposes an incremental pose graph segmentation technique that accounts for camera orientation variations as a solution to this challenge. The computation only improves the cameras that have seen large direction changes by breaking the posture chart during these instances. As a result, pose graph optimization is essentially slowed down and optimized more quickly. For every camera that hasn't been optimized using a pose graph, the algorithm employs the wearable cameras at the start and end of each camera's trajectory segment. The final camera in attendance is then determined by weighted average the various postures evaluated with these wearable cameras; this eliminates the need for lengthy nonlinear enhancement computations, reduces disturbance, and achieves excellent accuracy. Experiments on the EuRoC, TUM, and KITTI datasets demonstrate that pose graph optimization scope is reduced while maintaining camera trajectories accuracy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 101402"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655472","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}

Using the Gaussian Mixture Generative Model (GMGM), we provide a method to identify outliers and address this problem. Training on raw data is done using a VariationalAutoencoder (VAE). While avoiding rebuilding mistakes, we want to achieve as many brief features as possible. To predict the likelihood that examples contain many types of data, a DBN will utilise feature extractions and latent distributions in the future. The model's robustness is enhanced by enhancing the VAE, deep learning components, and the GMM overall. When densities surpass the training level, the Gaussian Mixture Model identifies outliers. To achieve this, it makes educated guesses about the densities of each data point. Compared to the deep learning Autoencoding Gaussian Mixture Model (DAGMM), GMGM achieves a 5.5 % higher area under the curve (AUC) on the ODDS standard dataset.

Urban areas can become smart by monitoring and collecting data about their surroundings through the deployment of technologies with powerful computational capabilities and those that are converted into intelligent things. Waste management is among the most significant issues in smart cities, a rise in metropolitan regions and faster increases in population are the main reasons. When it comes to gathering data about waste management, intelligent services can serve as the front line. Waste management with IoT support is a common example of a service offered by smart cities. Various duties, like gathering, processing, and use of waste in appropriate facilities, are included in waste management. The present study proposed an updated waste management system architecture design after reviewing existing artificial intelligence and IoT-based waste management systems and automation in smart cities. The proposed system architecture deals with the automation of municipality trash in smarter urban areas, using IoT technology and sending notification messages based on sensor data relating to the dustbin state, such as full or empty. The notifications are sent simultaneously to the municipality office and the waste carrier vehicle driver, so that waste can be emptied on time. The proposed system architecture represents a scalable and adaptable model for municipalities that aim to transform their waste collection processes and play a key step in minimizing municipality waste in smart cities. By deploying this proposed system architecture with smart sensors and IoT devices, municipalities can monitor waste levels to ensure that bins are emptied when it is necessary. This reduces the frequency of waste collection, lowers fuel consumption, and minimizes operational costs. The Route optimization algorithms further enhance efficiency by determining the most efficient paths for waste collection trucks, so they can reduce travel time and fuel emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 101395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142571526","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}

The proposed study aims to develop a prosthetic knee that actuates in real-time using the EMG signals from the amputee’s residual limb. Pre-processing techniques are employed to obtain EMG signals from the femoris and vastus muscle targets in the transfemoral region. Moving average filters and Butterworth bandpass filters are implemented to process the raw signals. Sliding windows of various widths were applied for feature extraction. The window size of 200 ms is determined for our study based on the outcomes of the t-SNE plots and the corresponding silhouette scores. After the extraction of the pertinent features, several supervised classifier algorithms are put into practice to classify the knee flexion and extension motion. The k-nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm, with an accuracy rating of 80 %, proved to be suitable for motor control. Real-time control is implemented using the Raspberry Pi board to power the prosthesis allowing above-the-knee amputees to voluntarily move the leg back and forth. The EMG signals are then extracted and used to drive the DC motor. The prosthesis would therefore be able to move more precisely since the EMG readings are being gathered in real-time.

This approach gives optimal placement and sizes for DGs and DSTATCOMs as well as a number of electric vehicles (EVs) that can be charged at the EVCSs by considering the network reconfiguration (NR). The optimal allocation of EVCSs fulfills the power demand from EVs at various locations and minimizes the negative impact on the power network. The RE-based DGs considered for this work are solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind. The uncertainties related to RE-based DGs and EVCSs have been modeled by using the probabilistic-based two-point estimate method (2PEM). The best locations and sizes are identified by optimizing the individual objectives that is active power losses and voltage stability index (VSI) using the teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm. Then both objectives are optimized by using the non-dominated sorting-based TLBO algorithm. Furthermore, the optimal planning approach is implemented on IEEE 33 and 69 bus test systems to demonstrate the suitability, practicality, and efficiency of the proposed optimal planning strategy. The obtained results reveal that the proposed technique is beneficial for determining the optimal locations for DGs, DSTATCOMs, and EVCSs without affecting the grid stability.
