Conventional machine learning (ML) methods and single-view graph neural networks (GNNs) often lack the capacity to model such heterogeneity across scales. To bridge this gap, we introduce PolyGraphCL, a novel multiview graph contrastive learning (CL) framework integrating heterogeneous inductive biases from three backbones—graph convolutional network (GCN) for localized neighborhood aggregation, graph attention network (GAT) for globally attentive interactions, and graph sample and aggregate (GraphSAGE) for multiscale sampling. These diverse structural views, derived from applying different GNN architectures to the same input graph, are fused through a learnable attention mechanism, enabling dynamic weighting of view-specific representations per node to capture both fine-grained and holistic structural characteristics. To further address extreme label imbalance, we incorporate cross-view CL that aligns intranode representations across views while repelling internode embeddings, facilitating the formation of class-discriminative manifolds. Evaluated on a ferritic steel microstructure dataset comprising 7633 grains (311 damaged) with 100 descriptors per node, PolyGraphCL achieves an average <inline-formula> <tex-math>${F}1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> score of <inline-formula> <tex-math>$0.8816~pm ~0.0505$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and balanced accuracy (BA) of <inline-formula> <tex-math>$0.7788~pm ~0.1606$ </tex-math></inline-formula> under stratified fivefold cross-validation-surpassing both conventional ML baselines and single-view GNNs. Furthermore, GNNExplainer-based attribution reveals that PolyGraphCL’s predictions are predominantly governed by local stress concentration, with moderate influence from topological substructures, offering interpretable insights grounded in underlying physical mechanisms. Altogether, PolyGraphCL offers a robust, interpretable, and domain-adaptive framework for advancing data-driven fatigue prediction in computational materials science (MS).","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"35212-35222"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078692","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 can provide personalized support by continuously assessing the user’s state and optimizing intervention strategies. Physiological data acquisition through advanced sensors enables objective and real-time workload estimation, offering a more reliable alternative to self-reported measures. Despite the growing interest in workload estimation, existing literature reviews are often domain-specific or focus on cognitive workload only, without providing a comprehensive analysis of methodologies for estimating both physical and cognitive workload across different applications. To address this gap, this systematic review analyzes 35 studies on multimodal physiological monitoring, examining feature extraction methodologies and supervised learning models used for workload estimation. The review identifies key challenges, including the need for standardized protocols, improved generalization across real-world scenarios, and the integration of adaptive artificial intelligence models. It underscores the role of sensor-based workload estimation in healthcare, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies, positioning it as a fundamental component for developing intelligent, user-centered, and adaptive human–machine interaction systems.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"34298-34310"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11126940","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073252","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}

During the strain transfer process from the substrate being measured to the FBG sensor, shear deformation occurs within the adhesive layer. Consequently, the strain detected by the FBG sensor differs from that of the substrate, resulting in strain transfer loss. To solve this problem, a relatively simple strain transfer model for the FBG sensor with surface-bonded in the nongrating region was developed. The impact of various parameters on strain transfer efficiency was examined, and the influence laws of parameters, such as the adhesive layer’s elastic modulus, thickness, and length on transfer efficiency, were elucidated.

However, in complex environments such as urban canyons and tunnels, the global positioning system (GPS) signals are often blocked or interrupted, resulting in decreased or invalid positioning accuracy. To meet the demand for accurate vehicle positioning in complex environments of urban roads, this article proposes a deep learning model for GPS pseudo-range and Doppler shift prediction based on the fusion of the animated oat optimization (AOO), a convolutional neural network (CNN), a bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU), and an attention mechanism. CNN is applied to capture spatiotemporal features from the input sequence, while BiGRU explores the long-term dependencies in the data. The attention assigns varying weights according to the importance of input data, enabling the model to focus more effectively on critical parts. To improve predictive accuracy, the AOO algorithm is employed for hyperparameter optimization. Then, the predicted GPS pseudo-range and Doppler shift are used for GPS/ultrawide band (UWB) tightly coupled cooperative positioning by utilizing the characteristics of UWB technology that can provide high-precision ranging information. The results of the experiment show that the proposed fusion model improves the relative positioning accuracy by 13%, 29%, 33%, and 50% over CNN-BiGRU-Attention, CNN-BiGRU, BiGRU, and GRU models, respectively, during a GPS signal loss-of-lock environment, which significantly enhances the stability of vehicle positioning in complex environments.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"35312-35322"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073166","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}

This study proposes a multilevel orthogonal basis function (MOBF) detection method to address the challenges of weak magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) in complex noise environments, particularly for UXO surveys. The MOBF method integrates discrete stationary wavelet transform (DSWT) and 2-D orthogonal basis function (2D-OBF) processing through a cascaded decomposition-fusion architecture. By leveraging DSWT’s shift-invariant multiscale decomposition, the method effectively separates colored noise (with a power spectral density (PSD) of 1/<inline-formula> <tex-math>${f}^{,alpha }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) from target signals, while OBF enhances localized spatial correlations of anomalies. A variance-weighted energy fusion strategy is introduced to aggregate multiresolution features, significantly improving signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Numerical simulations demonstrate MOBF’s robustness across diverse noise scenarios: at −20 dB SNR under Gaussian noise, the MOBF method has a higher detection probability and lower false alarm rate than traditional methods. In colored noise environments, MOBF maintains reliable detection at −15 dB SNR, whereas 2D-OBF fails. Field tests conducted in coastal areas with uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne magnetic surveys validate MOBF’s practicality, successfully identifying ferromagnetic targets (anchors, iron tools) under challenging conditions (strip noise). Despite limitations in distinguishing UXOs from nonhazardous ferromagnetic objects, MOBF exhibits superior noise immunity and spatial resolution compared to existing methods. The proposed method provides a viable solution for real-time UXO detection on mobile platforms, particularly in low SNR scenarios with colored noise interference.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 18","pages":"35157-35169"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078565","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}

This article presents a novel hybrid sensor approach using sparsely linear polarization pixels integrated into an RGB pixel matrix to leverage both angle of linear polarization (AoLP) and degree of linear polarization (DoLP). The sparse pixel integration overcomes the vulnerabilities of conventional RGB-based methods and the complexity of multisensor solutions. By integrating polarization features into a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN), our solution offers a cost-effective and reliable FAS under all light conditions. Experimental results show that combining AoLP and DoLP significantly boosts accuracy compared to methods relying solely on RGB or DoLP, achieving an average classification error rate (ACER) as low as 0.4%, even with an extremely sparse deployment of polarization pixels (1 per 400 RGB pixels). An ablation study quantifies the individual contributions of AoLP and DoLP. Moreover, the system sustains its efficacy in challenging low-light scenarios and delivers a 10-fold reduction in errors compared to RGB-based methods.

In previous methods, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based detectors have relied on handcrafted features extracted through the manual data processing, which may not fully capture the discriminative features necessary to distinguish targets from sea clutter. This article introduces a novel method of target detection that utilizes CNN-based data processing to directly handle raw data. The proposed CNN-based data processing can automatically extract higher level features from signals, which are often more discriminative and valuable for subsequent detection. The two-stage design of our method allows for the easy replacement of more advanced CNN-based detectors in future applications, providing flexibility for future improvements. Experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves probabilities of detection (PDs) of 0.9008 and 0.8433 on the IPIX and SDRDSP datasets, respectively, with a probability of false alarm (PFA) of 0.001, substantially surpassing other methods. The total FLOPs of our method are 206.42M, making it suitable for real-time applications. Further experiments confirm that our proposed CNN-based data processing can enhance various CNN-based detectors across different datasets, showcasing robustness and effectiveness.
