A number of markers, at least three, are attached to the target. Position and motion posture of the target are obtained by photographing those markers. A small part of the image is occupied by marker. If markers are searched by traversing the whole image, huge expenditure and extravagant computing resources will be caused. A fast feature point extraction method is described in this paper to reduce computational burden. It combines marker prediction, perspective projection, nearest neighbor fast seed point search algorithm, region growing algorithm, and gray centroid method. Compared with the traditional whole image traversal method, the marker extraction speed is improved by hundreds or even thousands of times, which is verified by trinocular vision tracking experiment. The method is suitable for OTS.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"109 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73531961","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}

Windowing techniques improve the resolution of the Power Spectrum estimation by reducing the sampling gap caused by the periodic extension of the Fourier Series. However, it adds a time domain non-stationarity which affects the Surrogate Analysis. This effect is particularly problematic for short lowpass signals. Applying the same window to the surrogate data allows having the same non-stationarity. The method is tested on order 1 autoregressive process null hypothesis by Monte Carlo simulations. Previous methods were not able to yield good performances for left-sided and right-sided tests at the same time, even less with bilateral tests. It is shown that the new method is conservative for unilateral tests as well as bilateral tests.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73817161","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}

To make an effective treatment and diagnosis, it is vital to accurately discriminate invasive adenocarcinoma (IA) from non-IA by analyzing ground glass nodules (GGNs) from patient's CT images. Compared with solid nodules and normal lung parenchyma, the contours of GGN are blurred and the gray scale is little changed. So far, the problem to accurately discriminate IA and non-IA remains unsolved due to insufficient labeled GGN images. In this paper, considering the generalization of convolutional neural network (CNN) and various flexible transfer strategies, we proposed a lung adenocarcinoma classification method after combining transfer learning and CNN, where the use of transfer learning strategies aims at overcoming the problem of insufficient GGN samples. Firstly, the CT image on IA and non-IA patients were collected which were labeled by surgical pathology. Secondly, two transfer learning strategies that consist of CNN feature extractor and fine-tuning network were applied to classify IA and non-IA. Finally, in the fine-tuning network process, a Progressive Fine-Tuning (PFT) strategy was combined to determine the effective depth of fine-tuning to avoid inaccurate induction of GGNs. In the CNN feature extractor experiment, four comparable models were used including linear discrimination, Support Vector Machines, K-nearest neighbor, and subspace discrimination. The indicators of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC (area under curve) were used to quantitatively assess the performance of the two transfer strategies. Experiments show that the strategy of CNN feature extractor based on transfer learning had the highest accuracy, which was significantly higher than fine-tuning network strategy with PFT. In the experiment of CNN feature extractor, the model of linear discrimination to predict the invasiveness of GGNs has 94% accuracy whereas the other three models have 92.9%, 93.1% and 92.9%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74231324","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}

In this work, we first show that in such a system, the widely used direct-read-and-send method which samples and sends individually acquired vibration data points to the server is not effective, especially using Wi-Fi connection. We show that the micro delays in each individual data transmission will limit the sensor sampling rate and will also affect the time of the acquired data points not evenly spaced. Then, we propose that vibration should be sampled in batches before sending the acquired data out from the sensor node. The vibration for each batch should be acquired continuously without any form of interruption in between the sampling process to ensure the data points are evenly spaced. To fill the data gaps between the batches, we propose the use of compressive sampling technique. Our experimental results show that the maximum sampling rate of the direct-read-and-send method is 350Hz with a standard uncertainty of 12.4, and the method loses more information compared to our proposed solution that can measure the vibration wirelessly and continuously up to 633Hz. The gaps filled using compressive sampling can achieve an accuracy in terms of mean absolute error (MAE) of up to 0.06 with a standard uncertainty of 0.002, making the low-cost vibration sensor node a cost-effective solution.","PeriodicalId":6772,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81558801","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 system is based on the low-power TD1205P module that includes a microcontroller, an accelerometer, a GNSS receiver and a SigFox transceiver. Each hour, the module estimates the wave's maximum height ($H$max) and mean period (Tz), determines the GPS position, and wirelessly transmits the data through the SigFox network. The procedure for wave parameter estimation is based on the zero-upcrossing method using the vertical acceleration data. It was experimentally validated by attaching the embedded system to a moored buoy and comparing $H$max and Tzwith that provided by a seafloor acoustic wave and current profiler, used as a reference. Results over a period of two months show a good match for $H$max but less for Tz, which crosscorrelation values at zero lag of about 0.85 and 0.5, respectively.

However, the number of AI approaches allowing for assessing the postharvest food conditions is limited. In this work, we trained U-Net and Deeplab models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect and predict decay areas in postharvest apples stored at room temperatures. The models were trained on a dataset that includes 4440 images of apples with segmented decay areas. Images were captured by a digital camera mounted on a custom-made testbed.
