Existing domain generalization (DG) methods often overlook the tradeoff between model performance and deployment efficiency. Although lightweight convolutional networks provide high inference efficiency, they exhibit limitations in feature representation and generalization performance. Therefore, this article proposes a lightweight network architecture based on dual-mixup data augmentation (LNDMDA) to enhance the adaptability of fault diagnosis models in cross-domain environments. First, a dual-mixup data augmentation mechanism combining cross-domain confusion and intradomain confusion is constructed to significantly enhance the generalization capability of the model in complex domain transfer scenarios. Second, a lightweight feature extraction module combining partial convolution (PConv) and depthwise separable convolution (DSC) is designed to preserve critical diagnostic features of the signal while reducing computational complexity. In addition, this article introduces a lightweight subspace division attention mechanism, which divides the feature map into multiple subspaces and calculates attention weights for each subspace separately, thereby efficiently capturing multiscale fault features. Finally, comparative experiments on three public datasets demonstrate that LNDMDA consistently outperforms existing lightweight models and DG methods across multiple transfer tasks, highlighting its advantages of compact model size, low computational cost, and excellent generalization performance.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 17","pages":"34196-34208"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934545","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}

Traditional threshold selection algorithms usually use statistical information on various features of the terrain field as evaluation indicators. However, these methods are difficult to reflect the spatial information of underwater terrain, while misclassification often occurs in the selection process. This article proposes an SMA selection algorithm for the underwater terrain-aided inertial navigation based on terrain triangulation, which converts the digital terrain map (DTM) from a raster map to terrain triangulation model. This is a novel approach that extracts eight types of spatial features from a triangulation model to analyze the characteristics of terrain. The Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering method is used to automatically select and divide the SMA based on the feature parameter matrix.

However, existing methods still face dual challenges. On the GCN side, performance heavily depends on the initial graph quality. Most methods rely on a single similarity metric, leading to inaccurate node relationships and limiting global information perception. On the CNN side, regular convolutional kernels struggle to efficiently capture local features in irregular regions, thus restricting the precise representation of spatial and spectral information. To overcome the aforementioned limitations, this article proposes an adaptive graph reconstruction enhanced multiscale GCN and DCN fusion network (GRGDFN) for HSI classification. Specifically, the dynamic spectral feature extraction module (DSFEM) harnesses adaptive sampling via lightweight deformable convolutional networks (DCNs) to capture fine-grained spectral features with spatially irregular distributions. Simultaneously, the multiscale spatial–spectral graph convolutional module (MSSGCM) employs dual-view dynamic adaptive perception (DVDAP) to capture long-range dependencies across multiple spatial scales, thereby enhancing the global perception ability of features. Furthermore, the hierarchical feature fusion module (HFFM) fuses complementary features from DSFEM (local fine-grained) and MSSGCM (global topological relationships), generating enriched joint representations. Subsequently, the graph structure reconstruction module based on geometric and label information (GSRM-GL) employs the fused features to dynamically optimize node connections, reconstructing the initial graph structure to compensate for its limitations in node similarity measurement, with the resulting graph then fed into the model for retraining to enhance classification accuracy. Finally, a spatial–spectral joint loss (SSJL) regularization function is proposed to further optimize classification accuracy while maintaining spatial–spectral consistency. Comprehensive experiments conducted on five representative HSI datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art deep learning approaches in terms of classification accuracy and generalization capability, with substantial overall accuracy (OA) improvements of 0.7%–33.8% for Indian Pines (IP), 1.16%–38.14% for University of Pavia (UP), 2.26%–28.11% for Salinas, 1.02%–42.88% for Kennedy Space Center (KSC), and 2.43%–31.48% for WHU-Hi-HanChuan under identical sampling conditions.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 17","pages":"34070-34090"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934421","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}

In this article, we attempt to enhance low-light BEV perception with illumination-guided feature fusion. We propose RetBEV, which uses illumination information generated based on the retinex theory to enhance the model’s robustness in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, to address the illumination estimation discontinuity from multiview images that can adversely affect detection, we propose the multiview self-balancing retinex (MVB-retinex), a self-supervised learning mechanism which balances illumination estimation by leveraging overlapping regions between adjacent images. Notably, RetBEV is a plug-and-play module that can be applied to many image-based BEV detector methods and does not require any additional ground truth (GT) supervision. We conduct extensive experiments on the nuScenes dataset, validating our algorithm in nighttime and daytime scenes. Compared to the baseline, our algorithm achieves a 2.34% increase in mean average precision (mAP) on the validation set with minimal computational cost, especially showing a 3.60% improvement in nighttime scene.

The sensitive electrochemical cell of this sensor consists of two cathodes, two anodes, and two additional electrodes. The distinctive feature of the six-electrode sensor is the possibility to control the sensitivity by electrical signals. Meanwhile, the range in which the sensitivity could be changed is very limited. In this article, an investigation has been conducted into the mechanism constraining the sensitivity control range, employing a combination of experimental measurements and theoretical analysis. The findings reveal that the application of a positive voltage between the anodes and additional electrodes increases the conversion factor. This phenomenon arises from the generation of active ions on the anodes, concomitant with their consumption on the additional electrodes. As the applied voltage increases, the current flowing through additional electrodes becomes constrained by a diffusion factor, thereby restricting the production of active ions on the anodes. Methods of expanding the sensitivity control range involve increasing the surface area of additional electrodes and/or decreasing the surface area of the anodes.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 15","pages":"28576-28584"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144758229","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}

In theory, the shaft torque of the motor can be calculated from the measured values. However, in practice, the shaft torque of the motor varies depending on motor efficiency and fan efficiency. The complex relationship between motor efficiency and fan efficiency necessitates the mechanical measurement of braking torque in a motor driven fan system. This article proposes a scalable measurement unit that can be used for mechanical torque measurement in radial fans. In this context, the proposed fan torque measurement unit is built as a prototype by performing kinematic and dynamic analysis. For the testing of the unit, forward curved blade radial fans preferred in braking applications were used. The electrical voltage and current of the dc motor were measured and the power consumption values were calculated accordingly. Furthermore, a vane-like air intake mechanism is implemented to adjust the air flow. This allowed the demonstration that varying speed–torque characteristics can be achieved using the same fan-motor configuration. Overall, the results show that torque estimation based solely on electrical power measurement is unreliable, underscoring the importance of direct mechanical torque measurement. The study offers important contributions to the braking torque measurement of the fans and to the efficiency analysis of fan-motor systems.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 17","pages":"32426-32435"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144990250","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}
