We demonstrate that sparse neural networks allow to obtain high reduction in the number of arithmetic operations and weights needed by neural structures while preserving good efficiency in selected tasks where dense neural networks find their applications. In order to verify the efficiency of the considered structures we conducted a series of experiments in data compression and image recognition. The obtained experimental results confirm good efficiency of the considered sparse neural structures and reveal that such topologies allow for significant reduction in the number of arithmetic operations and weights that must be trained and stored in order to re-use trained neural networks.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123654682","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}

BART is based on geometrical optics (GO) and physical optics (PO) to calculate the multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves by dividing the target into many small facets, which can calculate the radar cross section (RCS) of electrically large targets quickly. However, GO can only calculate the contribution of incident and reflected field, and cannot solve the diffraction problem such as edge and vertex, which makes the calculation results of BART inaccurate under some angles. The uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (UTD) can compensate for the shortcomings of GO to overcome the failure in the shadow area and the discontinuity at the boundary between shadow area and bright area. A hybrid algorithm combining the BART and UTD is proposed in this paper. UTD is introduced into the BART to solve the problem that there is no electric field in the shadow area and discontinuity at the boundary. While ensuring calculation efficiency, it improves the accuracy of BART in calculating the RCS of electrically large targets.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116781314","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}

Improving odometry alone can increase overall localization accuracy, especially when other sources of position information are unavailable. There are several publications dealing with slippage detection and odometry correction, however, they are mostly related to identification of surface for single specific robot type and they require external measurement system for tests. This paper presents a methodology and experiment comparing slip-compensated odometry and tries to extrapolate it to three different suspensions. The main idea behind this article was to check, if different mechanical suspensions with the same kinematic structure (skid-steering), could achieve similar localization accuracy according to the same slip compensation method and using only onboard sensors. The research platform was a custom modular robot. Its chassis allows it to swap the suspension to skid steer six- and four-wheel and tracks. Four chapters of the paper are are organized as follows: in the Introduction, the problem is described in mathematical formulas, then the experiment setup, process and a method for calculating an algorithm-specific coefficient are discussed, followed by presentation of results and summary.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121733893","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}

The device provides a simplified way to measure a set of hand parameters such as hand size, wrist, and fingers range of motions. Using the homogeneous-matrix-based notation, we derive medically relevant medical parameters. We provide a user interface for ease of data processing, experiments, and tracking patient progress. The system is evaluated for precision and measurement variation and compared to measurements based on goniometer and caliper. Evaluation of the system shows comparable results to caliper measurements for hand bone lengths while higher variation and large difference in wrist and finger flexion range of motion measurements compared to goniometer.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133234300","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}
