Sensor deployment, and in particular coverage, is a fundamental component in the design and development of wireless sensor networks. Achieving coverage (or 1-coverage) in three-dimensional (or spatial) wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which requires that every point in a spatial field of interest (FoI), is an open challenging problem. In particular, the problem of k-coverage in spatial WSNs, where every point in a spatial FoI is k-covered (or covered by at least k sensors at the same time), is even more challenging. In this paper, we investigate the problem of connected k-coverage in spatial WSNs, where a spatial FoI is k-covered while all the sensors participating in this k-coverage process are connected to each other. Our study aims at producing an energy-efficient and optimized protocol, which helps achieve connected k-coverage in spatial WSNs with a minimum number of sensors, thus, extending the network lifespan. Precisely, this study is based on convex polyhedral space fillers that help establish an irregular hexagonal prism tessellation referred to as Irregular Honeycomb Network (IHN), which serves as a medium to achieve k-coverage in spatial WSNs. First, we propose a randomly distributed sensor placement strategy, which is designed to guarantee full k-coverage of a spatial FoI. To this end, we tile a spatial FoI with irregular hexagonal prisms, known as space fillers, which are adjacent to each other without any gaps or overlaps. Second, we exploit this tiling strategy to guarantee k-coverage of a spatial FoI. Then, we compute the spatial sensor density (i.e., number of sensors per unit volume) to k-cover a spatial FoI. Third, we determine the necessary relationship between the sensors’ communication and sensing ranges to ensure network connectivity. We corroborate our analysis with various simulation results.

In this paper, we propose a novel RGBD-based object 6DoF pose estimation network - RFFCE. It is a two-stage method that firstly leverages deep neural networks for feature extraction and object points matching, and then the geometric principles are utilized for final pose computation. Our approach consists of three primary innovations: residual feature fusion for representative RGBD feature extraction; confidence evaluation and confidence-based paired points offsets regression for self-evaluation and self-optimization respectively. Their effectiveness is verified through an ablation study, and our RFFCE achieves the SOTA performance on LineMOD, Occlusion-LineMOD and YCB-Video datasets. Additionally, we also conduct a real-world object grasping experiment for visualization and qualitative evaluation of the RFFCE.

Estimating the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix (INCM) is critical for the robustness of the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer. Existing INCM reconstruction methods are computationally intensive and not suitable for real-time speech separation. We propose a singular value decomposition (SVD) based INCM reconstruction method for speech separation. The spatial covariance matrix (SCM) for each source is obtained by rank-1 approximation using the nominal steering vector (SV) or the pre-measured relative transfer function (RTF). The INCM used to separate each source is reconstructed as the sum of the covariance matrices of interference and spherical isotropic noise. The proposed method is evaluated using the mixed signal received by a circular array with six microphones placed in a simulated reverberation chamber. The results show that the proposed method has comparable sound quality performance to the reference method, but requires much less computation.
