These theories attempt to describe how people tend to organize visual elements into groups or unified wholes when certain principles are applied. These principles such as similarity, common fate, continuation and etc. are intuitive to understand. However the challenge is to encode Gestalt theory as the principle to construct a computational model for visual process. In the domain of computer vision, visual processing tasks such as segmentation benefits greatly from spatio-temporal information from videos. Hence, we propose to study video segmentation where the number of objects is unknown. We achieve this by formulating a hierarchical nonparametric Bayesian model. Our model contains three key features 1) it embeds Gestalt principles as the prior of the model 2) it is a distance dependent nonparametric Bayesian model where the spatial temporal order of the data points matters. 3) it is a hierarchical model where we considered both the local and global aspects. We show that that our unsupervised generative model share similar results in human visual segmentation tasks as well as some psychology experiments.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121273140","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}

Secondly, a structure combined individual impact-time-control guidance with the cooperative control protocol is proposed, in which the coordination module is to generate coordination instructions, and local impact-time-control guidance law is adopted to execute instruction. Further, the finite-time time-cooperative guidance of multiple flight vehicles is studied to achieve the convergence of time-to-go instructions in finite time.

Route planning, therefore, plays an important role during this process. This paper proposes a systematic method to generate optimized routes for rescue vehicles step by step. First, the free flow traveling time and historical traffic volume is calculated from large regional toll collection data. Then the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) is adopted to generate real-time ratio between road segments and toll gates. Finally, the Dynamic Bureau of Public Road (DBPR) function and Dijkstra algorithm are used to obtain real-time optimized routes for rescue vehicles. The proposed algorithms are tested on a hypothetical emergency event taking place on the Shantou-Kunming expressway in Xingyi, Anhui Province. The computational results show that the generated rescue routes are helpful for rescue vehicles and can save plenty of time. Generate rescue routes rapidly and accurately may provide a practical method for emergency evacuation without expensive facilities and can be a guide for further rescue operations.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131367982","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}

In this paper we propose an approach based on template matching by using the aligned RGB-D image with prior knowledge to recover the 6-DoF pose of a randomly arranged object. First, the object’s template database is generated with the help of a defined virtual imaging model and its CAD model. Then in the practical phase, we segment RGB-D image to get the mask representing the location of the object and then these data are modified into a comparable format with the characteristics of scale invariance. At last, a similar function with adjustable attention weight to color and depth data is defined to find Top-K matched templates. The selected matched templates are refined by ICP to generate the final answer. Experiments are conducted using an RGB-D camera and a robot arm to pick up given objects in intricate shape. The average recognition rate of the object in different poses is 97.826%.

Firstly, Ngram2ve is used to mine the semantic information and context features between the pixels to be identified in the domain window and adjacent pixels. Secondly, a self-attention mechanism is introduced to further learn the internal structure information of all pixels in the neighborhood window to generate a multidimensional representation. Finally, in order to avoid the loss of information transmitted between layers, Dense nets are used to implement information flow integration, and a multi-layered independent recurrent neural network is added between each densely connected module to solve the gradient disappearance.

The method predicts according to the data detected by the existing continuous casting production, and does not need to change the ladle structure. In order to extract features in the data more efficiently and predict the time series, DBN was introduced. First, the DBN model is constructed to predict the time series. The collected time series is used to train the network model layer by layer to predict the value of the next time variable. Then, the prediction error is calculated by using the DBN network output and the true value, which is defined as a condition detection indicator reflecting whether there is slag carry-over. Due to the poor pouring environment, the collected data has large fluctuations, and the calculated detection indicators are always extremely distributed, which may lead to false positives. Therefore, an adaptive threshold determined by the extreme value theory is proposed and used as a rule for the determination of the slag. This method can realize the early warning of the slag. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation, and the method can judge the slag more accurately and earlier than the shallow neural network.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124886138","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}
