As some space missions become more challenging due to new environments, greater distances, or more limited size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints, spacecraft avionics must adapt to allow the spacecraft to be more autonomous and agile-eliminating the Spacecraft-Earth-Spacecraft feedback loop whenever possible. Prime examples of such missions include Aerobots (such as Ingenuity with extremely low SWaP constraints and demanding signal/imageprocessing during flight) and landers in possibly hostile environments (such as a Europa lander mission, with limited communication capacity, high latency, and constrained power budget). To address these challenges, JPL worked with Qualcomm to demonstrate the use of their Snapdragon 801 system-on-chip (SoC) onboard the Ingenuity Helicopter on Mars. The Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC contains various subsystems, including an ARM cluster, a Graphics processing unit, a Digital Signal processing subsystem, a Neural processing Engine, image Signal processing subsystem, among others. Since the success of Ingenuity, JPL is continuing to work with Qualcomm to address other applications of the Snapdragon SoC technology. This includes the deployment of two 855 Snapdragon development boards onboard the International Space Station (ISS) for successful in-situ benchmarking of applications in space (beyond those tested on Ingenuity). In this paper, we will examine the performance of various applications that have been identified to benefit from greater onboard computational capability. These applications include (among others): machinevision algorithms that are expected to be critical in autonomous entry-descent-and-landing scenarios and real-time Aerobot flight navigation;Hyperspectral compression algorithms;Synthetic Aperture Radar processing along with various instrument processing algorithms. We discuss how the infusion of Qualcomm's Snapdragon SoC is capable of enabling missions that may not have been able to achieve their goals with tradition

Human action recognition has been utilized in many applications such as human-computer interaction, video surveillance, assistive living, and gaming. Deployment of human action recognition demands the processing to be carried out in real-time or in a computationally efficient manner. The real-time requirement is addressed by only a subset of the developed methods in the literature. This paper provides a review of computationally efficient human action recognition methods in which a vision sensor is used. The reviewed papers are categorized in terms of conventional and deep learning approaches as well as in terms of single vision and multi-vision modality sensing.

Efficient Intelligent detection is a key technology in automatic harvesting robots. However, citrus detection is still a challenging task because of varying illumination, random occlusion and colour similarity between fruits and leaves in natural conditions. In this paper, a detection method called Lemon-YOLO (L-YOLO) is proposed to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of lemon detection in the natural environment. The SE_ResGNet34 network is designed to replace DarkNet53 network in YOLOv3 algorithm as a new backbone of feature extraction. It can enhance the propagation of features, and needs less parameter, which helps to achieve higher accuracy and speed. Moreover, the SE_ResNet module is added to the detection block, to improve the quality of representations produced from the network by strengthening the convolutional features of channels. The experimental results show that the proposed L-YOLO has an average accuracy(AP) of 96.28% and a detection speed of 106 frames per second (FPS) on the lemon test set, which is 5.68% and 28 FPS higher than the YOLOv3, respectively. The results indicate that the L-YOLO method has superior detection performance. It can recognize and locate lemons in the natural environment more efficiently, providing technical support for the machine's picking lemon and other fruits.

For the benefits of productivity, efficiency and sustainability, the adoption of machinevision with robotics in applications has become essential in agriculture industry;for example, outdoor tender-tealeaf harvesting, where tasks are highly repetitive and laborious. As machinevision must cope with changing daylight conditions, among the challenges is an efficient technique to accurately detect/locate randomly distributed targets in natural background that has closely similar color as the targets of interests. The success of developing a harvesting machine depends on robust, accurate, and efficient target-detection, which is the first step of the automation. Built upon the concept of an artificial color contrast (ACC) model developed for color-feature classification using principal component analysis (PCA), this paper presents an improved ACC/PCA method to overcome commonly encountered target-detection problems for outdoor agriculture applications where targets in a closely similar background must be identified/located in real time for subsequent robotic handling. Specifically, several methods have been developed to determine an optimal feature-set boundary for effective target detection, which require only a limited set of training data. The effectiveness of the methods is evaluated using experimentally obtained samples in terms of three practical measures (% detection error, % numerical noise and computation time) by comparing results with commonly used methods.

Diagrams are among the most common elements in documents, widely used in human-machine interfaces, education, etc. Online handwritten diagram recognition has attracted con-siderable attention due to its potential applications. However, it remains challenging because of complex 2D structures and diverse writing styles. To handle these difficulties, we formulate symbol segmentation and recognition as node clustering and node classification on graphs, solving them using a novel graph neural network (GNN) model with enhanced structure modeling ability. In detail, we introduce a stroke graph construction method to extract the local structure of diagrams and propose DiagGCN to capture their high-level features. Additionally, we design a mean-shift clustering layer to improve node clustering performance. We introduce a unified learning framework to jointly train the model and perform the diagram recognition in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiments on three popular datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms previous methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance.
