Electronic countermeasures have historically relied on stationary and independently distributed jammers. However, the emergence of dynamic distributed collaborative interferences (DCIs) makes traditional anti-interference methods inadequate. Hence, in response to the dynamic nature of DCIs, we propose a framework of cooperative resource scheduling and beamforming (FCRSB) specifically tailored for optimal MTT performance under DCIs. This FCRSB includes the signal model of NNS, signal-level fusion (SLF), data-level fusion (DLF), and the resource scheduling. Firstly, we introduce a distributed adaptive beamforming algorithm and monopulse angle measurement for SLF in each cluster of the NNS. Subsequently, after acquiring the measurements, DLF between clusters is incorporated. Then, we derive the posterior Cramér-Rao lower bound (PCRLB) for MTT in this scenario, which serves as the objective function to formulate the resource optimization problem-an NP-hard problem. To address this challenge, we propose a combined decoupled relaxation constraint and sequential convex programming approach to solve it and obtain the optimal beam selection and corresponding transmit power within the tracking mode. Finally, through numerical simulation experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FCRSB for MTT under two cases of DCIs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51011,"journal":{"name":"Digital Signal Processing","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 105604"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145095231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most models rely on single-scale features, overlooking multi-scale variations in power data caused by operational mode transitions. Appliance operation inherently exhibits multi-scale characteristics, with features at different scales jointly determining behavior; single-scale extraction may lead to overfitting and hinder differentiation of appliances with similar patterns.

Compared to conventional single-band images, multi-band images provide a wider array of radiative details and information. With the rapid advancement of deep learning techniques, the fusion of multi-band images can provide enhanced feature representations for target detection, demonstrating significant application value across military, medical, and environmental monitoring domains. Despite its growing popularity, image fusion remains a challenging problem due to inherent discrepancies in how different sources depict scene content. Current methods generally suffer from three limitations: 1) Sensitivity to slight misalignment between source images, leading to artifact generation in fused results; 2) Ineffective handling of interference caused by low quality source images, such as noise or degradation, etc. And 3) lack of interactive mechanisms to accommodate diverse subjective and objective requirements. To address these challenges, we propose a versatile interactive dual-path architecture with text modulation for multi-band image fusion. First, a micro registration deformation dual-path fusion module is designed, which employs explicit deformation fields to compensate for geometric misalignment, thereby mitigating artifacts, while incorporating a feature adaptive selection mechanism to enhance texture details and contrast. Second, we proposed a dynamic text modulated fusion module utilizing a dual-path attention mechanism, where text embeddings serve as conditional signals to drive both channel-wise and spatial attention weight generation, simultaneously addressing image quality degradation and interactive flexible fusion requirements.

Traditional methods, operating in single-UAV mode, suffer from insufficient measurement dimensions, low measurement efficiency, and the highly nonlinear nature of angular measurement information. These factors impose stringent requirements on filter parameters, resulting in poor localization stability, complex parameter tuning, and significant limitations in practical applications. To tackle these issues, we propose a dual-UAV cooperative localization model based on box particle filtering. First, by reducing the dimensionality and unifying the original nonlinear measurement boxes, the computational efficiency of complex stochastic processes (CSP) is significantly improved. Second, a multi-level (ML) measurement box mechanism is designed, and through rigorous derivation, a method for calculating the weights of multi-level measurement boxes is defined. This mechanism not only effectively mitigates particle degradation during the filtering process but also further enhances the accuracy of measurement information. Finally, based on the multi-level box particle filtering model, we introduce an adaptive interval expansion (AIE) and adaptive adjustment method for maneuvering innovation. This approach leverages information generated by box particles to dynamically adjust the motion model parameters of maneuvering targets in real time, enabling the system to flexibly adapt to the high-mobility variations of adversarial targets.

Over the years various methods have been developed for detecting and locating leaks in WDNs, and, in particular, several algorithms have been implemented that use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). They are all based on a training phase run on a representative subset of the WDN data, and the main differences between the various implementations are in the data pre-processing and in the CNN configuration. This paper proposes a new fully Data-Driven approach, where a preliminar features engineering step, performed by a visual analysis of specific data patterns, both in the time domain and in the Fourier domain, allowed us to conceive and identify two paramount features engineering steps: a new effective data pre-processing algorythm and a new configuration of CNN that uses an Overcomplete Autoencoder (Overcomplete AE) topology with residual blocks. These two steps, described in detail in this paper, allowed us to better highlight and identify the anomalies caused by leaks in WDN pressures time series and they permitted, in association with a new original automatic analysis of the reconstruction error made by the Autoencoder, to achieve results that are on the top of the current state of art.
