High accuracy and low computational complexity are always contradictory for any grid-based DOA estimators. To overcome such difficulty, we establish a novel off-gird model based on approximated linear representation of continuous steering vector space, and propose an estimator based on grid location and adaptive step-size iteration (GLASI). The model is available for arbitrary array geometry as well as real-world arrays with imperfection, and allows optimal estimation through effective but compact approximation. Either MUSIC-type or sparse-based algorithm can be applied for coarse grid location, which enables GLASI to work regardless of source coherence and the number of snapshots. Simulation results verify GLASI enjoys remarkable performance superiority over its on-grid counterparts, with low grid density and thereby high computational efficiency.

Camera motion estimation is crucial for measuring the trajectory of moving objects. Fortunately, there is an odometry to help us solve this problem. Unlike other research works that primarily rely on odometry for indoor robots and drones, we aim to utilize visual odometry to enhance our autonomous driving perception system. The outstanding contributions of this paper are as follows: Firstly, by utilizing the feature point method in image processing, we explore various feature extraction and matching algorithms to develop a visual odometry system based on Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB) and Fast Library for Approximate Nearest Neighbors (FLANN) for autonomous cars, which is named the ORB-FLANN Visual Odometry System (OFVO). Secondly, we validate our algorithm in the self-driving simulator Carla and achieve satisfactory results.

A two-stage intelligent optimization algorithm for 6G space-air-ground integrated network resource configuration is proposed. The configuration process is divided into two stages: short-term stage and long-term stage. In the short-term stage, an approximate solution and a low-complexity solution are proposed to solve the problem of association and power allocation. In the approximate solution, a binary linear optimization problem is constructed and solved to find the optimal association, and then the power allocation is optimized using Taylor expansion approximation. In the latter solution, a low-complexity method based on frequency segmentation technology is proposed to solve the problem of association and power allocation. On the other hand, in the long-term stage, an efficient algorithm based on recursive shrinkage and reordering process is proposed to optimize the positions of airborne mobile base stations and the intelligent collaborative optimization of air and ground. Finally, simulation experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm.

Melanoma is the most dangerous skin cancer that affects a large number of patients every year; however, if melanoma is diagnosed at the initial stages the probability of treatment and survival of the patient increases to a great extent. Since there is no access to a dermatologist in all places, and on the other hand, even less experienced physicians face problems in diagnosing melanoma, the existence of computer-aided diagnosis systems that can accurately diagnose skin cancers, especially melanoma is necessary. Despite extensive research in this field, most of which has been conducted on the binary classification of skin lesions into melanoma and non-melanoma, very little researches have focused on the classification of melanoma types due to the scarcity of labeled datasets for different kinds of melanoma. Deep learning algorithms require large datasets for training, making them ineffective for diagnosing rare diseases or their subtypes due to insufficient data. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to utilize new algorithms of artificial intelligence, such as meta-learning that is a sub-field of deep learning. This method is capable of classifying images even with a limited number of images, and this method is used to classify the types of melanoma. Therefore, in this research, various meta-learning algorithms, such as Prototypical Networks, Matching Networks, Relation Networks, and MAML, have been used to classify melanoma types, which are suitable for classifying images even with a limited number. Given that the meta-learning paradigm comprises two phases—meta-training and meta-testing—we utilized distinct datasets for each phase. The HAM10000 dataset was used for meta-training, while the melanoma-types dataset was employed for meta-testing. We also employed various data augmentation techniques, such as random cropping, color jittering, and random horizontal flipping, to enhance the model’s performance and achieve robust results. Out of all the algorithms, t

Deep learning hardware accelerators commonly incorporate a substantial quantity of multiplier units. Yet, the considerable complexity of multiplier circuits renders them a bottleneck, contributing to increased costs and latency. Approximate computing proves to be an effective strategy for mitigating the overhead associated with multipliers. This paper introduces an original approximation technique for signed multiplication on FPGAs. The approach involves a novel segmentation method applied to the Baugh-Wooley multiplication algorithm. Each segment is optimally accommodated within look-up table resources of modern AMD-Xilinx FPGA families. The paper details the design of an INT8 multiplier using the proposed approach, presenting implementation results and accuracy assessments for the inference of benchmark deep learning models. The implementation results reveal significant savings of 53.6% in LUT utilization compared to the standard INT8 Xilinx multiplier. Accuracy measurements conducted on four popular deep learning benchmarks show an average accuracy degradation of 4.8% in post-training deployment and 0.7% after retraining.

Boolean matrix factorization method can be used to create an approximate circuit from a given circuit. The accuracy loss of approximate circuit originates from the factorization error of each subcircuit. Hence, reducing factorization error of Boolean matrix has significant value in the approximate logic synthesis. In the case of the truth table of the logic circuit, the number of rows is much larger than the number of columns that can be utilized to further optimize the factorization method. In this brief, the error shaping technique is proposed to concentrate the factorization errors in several specific columns, which can be easily cleared by the proposed column error clear scheme. Compared with the typical factorization methods, for the truth table of an n-input, m-output logic circuit, the accuracy of proposed factorization method can be improved significantly. Finally, the proposed Boolean matrix factorization algorithm is integrated into the approximate logic synthesis tool and compared with BLASYS. The synthesis results demonstrate state-of-the-art performance.

This study analyzed the necessity of applying a DC arc fault detection device to diagnose DC arcs that may occur in the line between the battery and inverter. The arc voltage and arc power characteristics according to arc current were analyzed through constructing a 1000V, 400A battery bank and arc generator. The time required for actual arc diagnosis or blocking when using full load was figured out by using the Paukert V-I equation.

In this work, we applied a combination of microfluidic chip technology and microscopic imaging to observe bacterial growth under antibiotic influence allows for faster and more accurate assessment of antibiotic efficacy against bacteria, which is crucial for clinical diagnosis and prevention of antibiotic misuse. This study proposes an algorithm improvement method for E. coli detection on a microfluidic platform based on YOLOv8, which effectively addressed issues such as missed detections in small target detection like bacteria. Firstly, a dense connection mechanism is introduced in the C2f module. Secondly, Attention-based Intra-scale Feature Interaction is added deep within the backbone to enhance the model's capability in recognizing and localizing small targets. Additionally, an iterative attention-based multi-scale feature fusion method is incorporated into the Neck, which not only reduces computational costs but also allows the model to focus more on relevant features, minimizing interference from redundant information. In image preprocessing, we applied contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization to the captured bacterial images. According to experimental results, the model has improved mAP by approximately 10% after preprocessing the bacterial images. Compared to the Baseline, the improved model achieved a slight decrease in accuracy but increased recall and mAP@0.5 by 5.4% and 2.4%, respectively.

We design an algorithm from the perspective of information theory to calculate the capacity region of the Gaussian vector broadcast channel with private messages. For a continuous channel, a common method to approximately calculate its capacity is to apply the Blahut-Arimoto algorithm after discretization. In this work, we derive an equivalent form of the objective function and decouple the coupled variables in the original problem by exploiting the property that a Gaussian distribution is uniquely determined by its mean and variance. And thus develop a Gaussian Blahut-Arimoto algorithm without discretization.
