This article proposes the stripe removal method for HSIs, which can be applied to various scenes. It can remove the stripe noise of the images with large water area coverage, different stripe widths, and different stripe brightness to the greatest extent, without affecting the details of the image. The method uses the maximum between-class variance method adaptive threshold to extract the boundary of water and land areas in the image, and uses harmonic analysis to eliminate the cumulative stripe noise of image mean and variance in the frequency domain to obtain the theoretical true value of the image. Extensive experiments are carried out on GF5, ZY-1-02D, and Huanjing-2A (HJ-2A) satellite HSIs to compare the visualization effects of eight different algorithms for stripe removal, and the performance of the eight different algorithms is quantitatively evaluated by information entropy (IE) and noise estimation. The results show that the proposed algorithm has the most superior overall performance in terms of quantitative evaluation, processing efficiency, adaptability, and robustness, and is the best solution for engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"34992-35019"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145090157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research on PSS predominantly focuses on the ideal 180° phase modulation, which effectively suppresses the central frequency component of the radar signal. However, achieving this theoretical modulation angle at nonresonant frequencies is challenging for practical materials, limiting the broader application of PSS. This article investigates the modulation mechanism of PSS at arbitrary phase angles. A comprehensive phase modulation model is developed to analyze the impact of various parameters on the matched filtering process of radar signals. The theoretical derivation reveals that the modulation angle serves as a critical energy parameter, primarily influencing the amplitude coefficient of false peaks generated after matched filtering. The study has established the mapping relationships between characteristic parameters (modulation angle, modulation frequency, and duty cycle) and the radar matched-filter output as well as radar sensor performance metrics. To validate these findings, a simulation study is conducted across the time domain, frequency domain, and matched filter output, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of arbitrary-angle phase modulation in PSS design.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"34755-34762"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145090109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These systems rely on precise target detection to enhance safety and performance. The frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar sensors are central to ADAS/AD, offering high-resolution range and velocity measurements. However, traditional detection algorithms like constant false alarm rate (CFAR) methods face limitations in complex, cluttered environments, especially under high interference conditions from other automotive radars. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel recursive convolutional target detector (RCTD) algorithm that elevates detection performance while adhering to the stringent real-time and hardware constraints of ADAS/AD platforms. The RCTD algorithm utilizes a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) that recursively processes segmented range-Doppler (RD) maps to efficiently localize targets. This hierarchical approach reduces computational complexity and minimizes false alarm rates by concentrating computational efforts on regions of interest. We validate the RCTD algorithm through extensive simulations using realistic FMCW radar models and demonstrate its robustness across various scenarios. Furthermore, we implement the RCTD on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware equipped with a deep learning processing unit (DPU), illustrating its capability to meet the latency and resource requirements of embedded ADAS/AD systems. Our results indicate that the RCTD algorithm outperforms traditional CFAR methods, achieving higher detection accuracy and lower false alarm rates, thus advancing the state of the art in FMCW radar target detection for ADAS/AD applications.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"35039-35052"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11119761","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FSI is formed by sandwiching a section of MOF with a side microchannel between two single-mode optical fibers. By using femtosecond laser micromachining technology, micropores for fluid inlet and outlet are precisely etched above the air hole on the one side of the long axis of the MOF fiber core for the transmission of fluid inside the optical fiber. The fluid changes the birefringence characteristics of the MOF, producing a Sagnac effect.

However, learning Tai Chi can be challenging, especially for beginners without an instructor’s guidance. Mastery requires understanding complex principles like body coordination, weight shifting, and force exertion, which are essential for proper technique. Traditional training relies heavily on experienced instructors, making it difficult for individuals to practice independently and progress effectively. This study addresses the challenge faced by beginners who struggle to improve without continuous feedback, particularly in the absence of an instructor. Here, we propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based system to guide and correct students’ movements using wearable sensors, including inertial measurement units (IMUs) and smart insoles, along with smartphone cameras. The system collects motion data from both instructors and students, compares their movements, and provides immediate feedback on discrepancies. Unlike other Tai-Chi training systems that focus mainly on posture correction, our system emphasizes force exertion—a key component of Tai Chi. By analyzing movements and weight distribution, the system helps students identify errors in technique, improving their force generation and body coordination. This feedback mechanism enables independent practice, making Tai-Chi training more accessible and efficient.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"34763-34777"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145089950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensor is designed and simulated in CST Studio to enable real-time detection via changes in the refractive index of NT-proBNP associated with cardiac abnormalities. Validation is performed through equivalent circuit modeling (ECM) using the Advanced Design System (ADS). The nanosensor achieves a sensitivity of 1460 GHz/RIU, a Q-factor of 22.06, and a figure of merit (FOM) of 41.71. Assuming minimally invasive placement in the pericardium, signal attenuation is modeled using a path-loss framework that accounts for the serous and fibrous pericardial layers. Transmission line theory is applied to evaluate the intrinsic impedance, reflection coefficients, and attenuation characteristics of THz waves propagating through cardiac tissue. The model estimates the received power at a nanocontroller located at the fibrous layer and is validated using COMSOL Multiphysics.
