In this work, we present a novel approach for general object segmentation from a monocular image, eliminating the need for manually labeled training data and enabling rapid, straightforward training and adaptation with minimal data. Our model initially learns from LiDAR during the training process, which is subsequently removed from the system, allowing it to function solely on monocular imagery. This study leverages the concept of the Stixel-World to recognize a medium level representation of its surroundings. Our network directly predicts a 2D multi-layer Stixel-World and is capable of recognizing and locating multiple, superimposed objects within an image. Due to the scarcity of comparable works, we have divided the capabilities into modules and present a free space detection in our experiments section. Furthermore, we introduce an improved method for generating Stixels from LiDAR data, which we use as ground truth for our network.

Rockets and missiles fired from a tube usually have aerodynamic surfaces that are packed when the rocket is in the tube. One of the common fins folding solutions is the wrap-around fins. The wrap-around fins are usually separated from the rocket’s body by a bearing; thus the characteristics and the type of bearings used will have an effect on roll stabilization and the performance of roll stabilization autopilot. Also, during the flight, many forces act upon the missile thus affecting its exposed components. In turn, this may also affect the performance of the bearings that allow the wrap-around fins to rotate independently around the missile’s body. This dual-spin concept increases roll stabilization efficiency and reduces induced roll from lateral control. For this design to be effective and achieve the desired performance, it is critical to analyze how the movements of the missile affect the bearing separating the body from the wrap-around fins. Since the sections are separated by the bearing, various imperfections of the joint such as friction, misalignment, etc. combined with the acceleration of the missile may have a transitional influence on the performance of the wrap-around fins and thus roll stabilization. In this paper, we will first identify and explain the problem of acceleration influence on friction in bearings. Next, the laboratory equipment and experimental procedures for examining friction in bearings will be described in detail. We will then present and analyze the results obtained from the experiments. Finally, we will draw conclusions and present the design modification this investigation has led to as well as the improved roll autopilot performance achieved by using the appropriate bearing.

Unlike centralized versions, a distributed self-healing system (SHS) for electrical distributed systems is less vulnerable to single-point failures (or attacks), requires less information from the agents, and is more scalable. However, optimality is challenging to achieve because binary variables are used in the modelling of the distributed service restoration problem. To deal with this challenge, this paper proposes an enhanced alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)based algorithm used to developed a fully distributed SHS in electrical distribution networks. Hereby, three ADMM-based heuristics are executed in parallel to improve the chances of obtaining a feasible solution. However, if none of the heuristics converge within given reasonable time, the proposed distributed SHS uses a basic restoration plan that is feasible in terms of topology and operational constraints. Results using the IEEE 123node system show that the proposed distributed SHS is reliable and it always provides a feasible solution.

Forest fires pose imminent threats to ecosystems and human lives, necessitating precise prediction for effective mitigation. The challenges include managing extensive big data and addressing data imbalance. This study introduces a data integration framework that integrates data from remote sensing satellites, ground-based weather stations, and other sources to create a comprehensive weather database spanning 18 years in Alberta, Canada. Machine learning methods, including Random Forest, eXtreme Gradient Boosting, and Multi-Layer Perceptron are employed to evaluate forest fire prediction performance, overcoming the challenge of data imbalance through changes in spatial resolution, spatio-subsamping, and downsampling techniques. XGBoost exhibits results with an ROC-AUC score of 87.2% and a sensitivity of 75%.Using meteorological data and fire history improves prediction, demonstrating big data and machine learning’s role in addressing forest fire challenges.
