The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in shared spaces has led to an increasing demand for sharing IoT devices among multiple users. Yet, existing IoT platforms often fall short by offering an all-or-nothing approach to access control, not only posing security risks but also inhibiting the growth of the shared IoT ecosystem. This paper introduces FLUID-IoT, a framework that enables flexible and granular multi-user access control, even down to the User Interface (UI) component level. Leveraging a multi-user UI distribution technique, FLUID-IoT transforms existing IoT apps into centralized hubs that selectively distribute UI components to users based on their permission levels. Our performance evaluation, encompassing coverage, latency, and memory consumption, affirm that FLUID-IoT can be seamlessly integrated with existing IoT platforms and offers adequate performance for daily IoT scenarios. An in-lab user study further supports that the framework is intuitive and user-friendly, requiring minimal training for efficient utilization.

In this paper, we propose a novel Prior-Guided Parallel Residual Bi-Fusion Feature Pyramid Network (PPRB-FPN) for accurate obstacle detection in unmanned surface vehicle (USV) sailing. Our method tackles the challenge of detecting small objects, which are prone to information vanishing. To the end, we leverage the PRB-FPN for small object detection and YOLOv7 as a single-stage object detector to effectively identify obstacles. Our experimental results on the Obstacle Detection Challenge dataset at the 1st Workshop on Maritime computer Vision (MaCVi) demonstrate that our method outperforms both Mask R-CNN (mrcnn) and YOLOv7, achieving an F_avg score of 0.514.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being utilized for damage assessment in natural disasters and for search and rescue operations. Currently, the search for victims primarily relies on analyzing images captured by cameras mounted on UAVs. However, this approach has limitations when it comes to locating victims who are not within the camera's field of view. As a result, sound-based search methods are being considered. In this method, a voice message is transmitted to the disaster area through a speaker mounted on a UAV, and the presence of victims is confirmed by detecting their response using the onboard microphone of the UAV. Nevertheless, the UAV's microphone captures both the sound of the victim and the propeller rotation, posing a significant challenge in extracting the victim's voice from this combined audio. To address this issue, we propose a solution that involves generating spectrogram images of the sound mixture and the propeller sound, and extracting the human sound by subtracting them. We found that the conventional colormap was ineffective in emphasizing the human sound in the spectrogram images. To overcome this limitation, this paper introduces a new colormap based on the normal distribution. This colormap enhances human voices while attenuating propeller sounds by adjusting the mean and variance. Through the results of our experiments, we confirm that the proposed colormap effectively reduces propeller sound interference in the sound mixing and simultaneously emphasizes the voice of a disaster victim. By utilizing the proposed colormap, it becomes possible to visualize the victim's voice from the audio mixture acquired by the UAV's onboard microphone, enabling the identification of the victim.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in various applications, from inspection and surveillance to transportation and delivery. Navigating UAVs in complex 3D environments is a challenging task that requires robust and efficient decision-making algorithms. This paper presents a novel approach to UAV navigation in 3D environments using a Curriculum-based Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) approach. The proposed method utilizes a deep neural network to model the UAV’s decision-making process and to learn a mapping from the state space to the action space. The learning process is guided by a reinforcement signal that reflects the performance of the UAV in terms of reaching its target while avoiding obstacles and with energy efficiency. Simulation results show that the proposed method has a positive trade off when compared to the baseline algorithm. The proposed method was able to perform well in environments with a state space size of 22 millions, allowing the usage in big environments or in maps with high resolution. The results demonstrate the potential of DRL for enabling UAVs to operate effectively in complex environments.

The characteristic mode analysis (CMA) is formulated and implemented for the hydrodynamic volume integral equation (HDVIE) that is used to mathematically model electromagnetic field interactions and conduction current dynamics on nanoantennas and nanoscatterers. The proposed method produces excitation-independent characteristic hydrodynamic currents and the corresponding modal significance curves, providing useful information that can be used to optimize the performance of a nanoantenna. Numerical results demonstrate the reliability and the applicability of the proposed approach.
