However, the diverse aluminium profile surface defects present the characteristics of micro defects and different sizes. Conventional handcrafted-based methods and machine learning-based methods have limited feature expression ability which cause relatively poor detection performance. Recently, with the stronger feature extraction ability, deep learning has got wide applications on defect detection and recognition. Due to the loss information caused by pooling operations, it still exists a certain drawbacks on multi-scale object detection. To address this issue, with the residual neural network (ResNet), a new deep defect recognition network is proposed in this paper for aluminium profile surface defects to construct an end-to-end defect detection scheme. An attention fusion model is proposed to improve the detection precision on multi-scale defects. Experiments show that the proposed defect detection method shows a better detection performance compared with other advanced detection models.","PeriodicalId":375528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128311949","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}

Obstacle-surmounting performance is the fundamental factor in evaluation of platform trafficability. In order to evaluate the obstacle-surmounting performance of 6×6 WTUG platform in typical vertical obstacles, a posture planning model and a kinematic model of the obstacle-surmounting process were established. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, simulation of obstacle-surmounting was carried out in RecurDyn. Studies have shown that 6×6 WTUG platform can overcome obstacles higher than its own height, and the stability and feasibility of 6×6 WTUG platform posture planning were verified by analyzing the change in pitch angle during the obstacle-surmounting process.

As a common insulator defect, missing-cap defects affect the structural strength of power insulators and cause irreparable harm to power supply security. Therefore, insulator defect detection is a basic and critical task for power line inspection. Most detection methods are mainly based on machine learning algorithms. Shallow learning methods rely on handcrafted image features and are always aimed at specific scenarios or prior knowledge. The unbalanced data sets of insulators affect the detection performance of deep learning algorithms. To address the above problems regarding insulator defect detection, a novel detection algorithm based on a cascading deep architecture is proposed for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection. Combined with the strong detection performance of deep architecture, an insulator location algorithm based on the improved YOLOV3 model is proposed to remove complex backgrounds such as ”region of interest (ROI) extraction”. On this basis, a novel semantic segmentation algorithm is proposed to realize defect segmentation for small missing-cap defects. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can satisfactorily meet the precision and robustness requirements of power line inspection compared with other related detection models.","PeriodicalId":375528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134350353","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 these methods, the vehicle detects the gaps around the object and navigates to the midpoint of the optimal gap calculated according to a defined function. One missing point of these algorithms is failure to the goal point when there is an obstacle near to it. Another drawback is that early consideration of obstacles causes long trajectories. In this paper, Adaptive Follow the Gap (A-FGM) is presented to overcome these two points. In A-FGM, a fuzzy controlled evaluation radius is set and only obstacles within this region are included in the evaluation. A differential drive robot is used in simulations and results show that A-FGM increases the success rate of reaching the goal and efficiency of previous algorithms.

Such new technologies shall enable the detection of drones flying in restricted regions, for instance in military zones. Therefore, multiple detection techniques have been developed, mainly using camera sensors and digital imaging. Since cameras however suffer the problems of inapplicability in bad weather and low light conditions, radar systems have been recently developed for multi-copter detection using various conventional detection algorithms. Radar systems enable collecting rotor-specific data. Due to the fact that all rotor-objects show similar characteristics in the Radar Doppler spectrogram, i.e. the so called Micro-Doppler signatures, Machine Learning classification techniques on radar collected data enable reaching better and more reliable detection results when compared to the conventional algorithms. This paper introduces a Deep-Learning-based technique that can be used to detect multi-copters. The main idea is making use of the micro-Doppler properties of multi-copter and applying Deep Learning approaches for the automation of the classification. Due to their rotating components, rotor-wing aircrafts induce distinct Radar micro-Doppler signatures. In this work, experimental measurements of radar micro-Doppler signatures for both cases: rotating wing-copters and various other non-rotating objects are detected using continuous wave (CW) Radar. Radar micro-Doppler signature images are collected, and then further processed and used for detecting the various multi-rotor objects. Detection is performed using a trained convolutional neural network (CNN).","PeriodicalId":375528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126043145","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}

To breakthrough this challenge, this paper investigates a deep stacked autoencoder framework, named improved kernelized pseudoinverse learning autoencoders (IKPILAE), which extracts representation information from each building blocks. The IKPILAE consists of two core modules. The first module is used to extract random features from large-scale training data by the approximate kernel method. The second module is a typical pseudoinverse learning algorithm. To diminish the tendency of overfitting in neural networks, a weight decay regularization term is added to the loss function to learn a more generalized representation. Through numerical experiments on benchmark dataset, we demonstrate that IKPILAE outperforms state-of-the-art methods in the research of kernel-based representation learning.","PeriodicalId":375528,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128592941","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}

To effectively correct the range walk caused by target motion, range alignment based on profile correlation is performed. Ultimately, the aligned signals are accumulated through azimuth Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
