In this paper, the problem of moving target indication (MTI) using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is considered. The focus of the article is the tangential component of velocity. Two tangential velocity MTI algorithms are considered. The first algorithm uses two apertures with various synthetic time of the radar image (AVST algorithm), and the second uses two apertures displaced along trajectory (ADAT algorithm). The structure of the MTI system based on the analysis of phase and amplitude radar images is considered. For S band and X band SAR, the phase change in the trajectory signal of a moving target, the effects of shift and bifurcation of target responses on the radar image are analyzed in detail. It was found that the AVST algorithm has a small working range of unambiguous velocity estimate (up to ±10 m/s). It is shown that the ADAT algorithm has a higher quality of work in a wide velocity range and can effectively suppress the signals of stationary objects by 20...30 dB. The obtained characteristics allow us to make demands on the parameters of space-borne systems for remote sensing of the Earth and processingsystems.

The monitoring of patients within a natural, home environment is important in order to close knowledge gaps in the treatment and care of neurodegenerative diseases, such as quantifying the daily fluctuation of Parkinson's patients' symptoms. The combination of machine learning algorithms and wearable sensors for gait analysis is becoming capable of achieving this. However, these algorithms require large, labelled, realistic datasets for training. Most systems used as a ground truth for labelling are restricted to the laboratory environment, as well as being large and expensive. We propose a study design for a realistic activity monitoring dataset, collected with inertial measurement units, pressure insoles and cameras. It is not restricted by a fixed location or capture volume and still enables the labelling of gait phases or, where non-gait movement such as jumping occur: on-the-ground, off-the-ground phases. Additionally, this paper proposes a smart annotation tool which reduces annotation cost by more than 80%. This smart annotation is based on edge detection within the pressure sensor signal. The tool also enables annotators to perform assisted correction of these labels in a post-processing step. This system enables the collection and labelling of large, fairly realistic datasets where 93% of the automatically generated labels are correct and only an additional 10% need to be inserted manually. Our tool and protocol, as a whole, will be useful for efficiently collecting the large datasets needed for training and validation of algorithms capable of cyclic human motion analysis in natural environments.

In Bayesian theory, the maximum posterior estimator uses prior information to estimate the noise in the machine learning model by adding the regularization term. The regularization terms L 1 and L 2 correspond to Laplacian prior and Guassian prior, respectively. In existing deep learning models, in order to use the gradient descent optimization algorithm and achieve good results, most models take L 2 regularization as the regularization term of the network model to fit the complex Guassian noise. However in practice, the Laplace noise and the Guassian noise are both considered as data noise. For multi-layer perceptrons, the difficulty caused by adding L 1 and L 2 into the optimization function of the network is solved by proposing an ensemble model for error modeling through adopting the divide and conquer strategy. First, several base learners are trained to fit different noise distributions of data, then the final results can be obtained by taking the results of each base leaner as new data to train a meta leaner, and get the final results. Among them, coordinate regression method is used to solve L 1 loss, while the pseudo-inverse learning algorithm is employed to solve L 2 loss. Both methods are nongradient optimization algorithms. The comparison results of the model on several data sets show that the proposed ensemble model achieves better performance.

The use of a sparse crystal setting would reduce the cost of the PET scanner and has advantages such as less RF shielding in PET/MR. It also allows a longer axial field of view (FOV) using the same crystal volume. In this paper, the sensitivities of the coincidence events of PET systems with the sparse crystal configuration, thin crystal setting, and the conventional design using a fixed total crystal volume were analytically estimated. The sinograms of a sparse system (with 50% crystal removed and fixed axial FOV) were simulated using patient data. Reconstruction algorithms were developed by modeling the effects of reduced crystals in the system matrix. A convolutional neural network (CNN) based noise reduction approach was used for post-processing. A total of 14 patient data were included and were truncated to 3 minutes scan for consistency. Leave-one-out cross- validation was used for evaluation purpose. A patch based data input/output was used for model training to increase the number of training samples. images reconstructed using OSEM followed by Gaussian denoising was also used as a comparison. The percentage summed square difference (SSD) between images of sparse crystal configuration and non-sparse systems were used for quantitative evaluation. When using the same total volume of crystals, the difference of sensitivity at the center of FOV was within 10% among three different settings, with the rank from highest to lowest being the thin detector, sparse detector, and conventional detector. When using the same axial FOV, reconstructed images of the sparse crystal configuration showed increased noise due to reduced sensitivity. The percentage SSD for image processed with the Gaussian filter was 30% on average and was reduced to 16% with CNN on average. The results show with the same amount of crystal, the use of sparse crystal configuration provides a slightly larger sensitivity and much larger axial FOV. CNN processed images was able to partially recover los

Increasing the effectiveness of training and training sessions is possible through the implementation of so-called biological feedback. Such feedback allows the teacher, or the instructor, to continuously monitor the current psycho-emotional and functional state of the students. As a result, it becomes possible to adapt the style, pace, training mode and the volume of the material outlined, depending on the current receptivity and fatigue level of the listeners. The main element of systems that implement biological feedback in practice are remote non-contact technologies. Such technologies allow in a fully automatic mode to register the main most informative human bio-parameters. Among them, in the first place are the parameters characterizing the current state of the cardiovascular system of man, his breathing system, as well as his peripheral nervous system. The bulk of information is obtained by processing in real time the thermal infrared image of a person's face. Unfortunately, existing algorithms for distinguishing a person's face have a sufficiently high computational complexity and insufficient reliability. A typical example in this regard can be a family of algorithms based on the viola-Jones approach. The approach proposed in the work is based on taking into account additional information about the most likely location of a person's face on a thermal image. This approach is most appropriate to use in cases of quasi-stationary location of people in the room. A typical example is the location of students at the tables in the classroom. For such cases it is possible to determine the areas of the most probable location of the trainees' faces, as well as the possible boundaries of their movement. Laboratory tests of the developed program on the basis of the proposed algorithm have confirmed its high productivity, as well as efficiency in identifying students faces in the classroom.

In this paper, we design a three wheels Omni-directional mobile robot (TOMR) and propose a method of simultaneous construction of 2D and 3D maps based on the mobile robot. To be more specific, we use information from a laser and a kinect to build 2D grid maps and 3D environment, respectively. The particle filter algorithm is used to achieve the pose of the robot, together with the OctoMap which is generated from a 3D point cloud map, to construct the 2D and 3D maps. An asymmetric environment is employed to test our proposed method and some state-of-the-art methods like RGB-D SLAM and ORB-SLAM. The experimental results show that the proposed method is efficient for synchronized 2D and 3D mapping and has better performance than other compared algorithms.
