As a basic and indispensable module, LiDAR odom-etry estimation is widely used in robotics. In recent years, learning-based modeling approaches for odometry estimation have been validated to be feasible. However, it is necessary to consider security factors as the highest priorities when we apply the learning-based model to certain high-risk real-world scenarios, such as autonomous driving. The odometry uncertainty estimation provides more valuable information for downstream tasks, such as route planning and navigation. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end neural network (namely CertainOdom) to solve odometry and uncertainty estimation tasks by applying multi-task learning. Instead of using the manually-tuned hyper-parameters, we employ the learnable uncertainties to weigh the balance between the error of translation and orientation in the loss function. We evaluate the estimated trajectory and uncertainty on KITTI dataset. We also compare the robustness against the traditional geometry-based methods on our artificially degraded KITTI LiDAR dataset. Extensive experimental results show that our model with uncertainty weighted loss achieves competitive performance in LiDAR odometry estimation. We also explain our uncertainties qualitatively and quantitatively.

Background: Histopathology diagnosis is often regarded as the final diagnostic method for malignant tumors, but it has some drawbacks. This paper explores a computer-aided diagnostic method that can identify benign and malignant gastric cancer with histopathology images. Method: This article obtains the most suitable process through multiple experiments, compared multiple methods and features for classification. Firstly, the U-net is applied to segment the image. Next, the nucleus is extracted from the segmented image and the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) diagram structure is drawn. The third step is to extract the graph-curvature features of histopathology image according to the MST image. Finally, by inputting graph-curvature features into the classifier, the recognition results for benign or malignant can be obtained. Result: During the experiment, we use various methods for comparison. In the image segmentation stage, U-net, watershed algorithm and Otsu threshold segmentation methods are used respectively. Combined with multiple indicators, we find that the U-net method is the most suitable for segmentation of histopathology images. In the feature extraction stage, in addition to extracting graph-edge feature and graph-curvature feature, several basic image features are also extracted, including Red, Green, Blue feature, Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix feature, Histogram of Oriented Gradient feature, and Local Binary Pattern feature. In the classifier design stage, we experimented with various methods, such as Support vector machine (SVM), Random forest, Artificial Neural Network, K Nearest Neighbors, VGG-16 and Inception-V3. Through the comparison and analysis, the classification results with an accuracy of 98.57% can be obtained by inputting the graph-curvature feature into SVM classifier. Conclusion: This paper has created a unique feature, graph-curvature feature based on MST to represent and analyze histopathology images. This graph-based feature can be used

Fetoscopy laser photocoagulation is a widely adopted procedure for treating Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS). The procedure involves photocoagulation pathological anastomoses to restore a physiological blood exchange among twins. The procedure is particularly challenging, from the surgeon's side, due to the limited field of view, poor manoeuvrability of the fetoscope, poor visibility due to amniotic fluid turbidity, and variability in illumination. These challenges may lead to increased surgery time and incomplete ablation of pathological anastomoses, resulting in persistent TTTS. computer-assisted intervention (CAI) can provide TTTS surgeons with decision support and context awareness by identifying key structures in the scene and expanding the fetoscopic field of view through video mosaicking. Research in this domain has been hampered by the lack of high-quality data to design, develop and test CAI algorithms. Through the Fetoscopic Placental Vessel Segmentation and Registration (FetReg2021) challenge, which was organized as part of the MICCAI2021 Endoscopic vision (EndoVis) challenge, we released the first large-scale multi-center TTTS dataset for the development of generalized and robust semantic segmentation and video mosaicking algorithms with a focus on creating drift-free mosaics from long duration fetoscopy videos. For this challenge, we released a dataset of 2060 images, pixel-annotated for vessels, tool, fetus and background classes, from 18 in-vivo TTTS fetoscopy procedures and 18 short video clips of an average length of 411 frames for developing placental scene segmentation and frame registration for mosaicking techniques. Seven teams participated in this challenge and their model performance was assessed on an unseen test dataset of 658 pixel-annotated images from 6 fetoscopic procedures and 6 short clips. The challenge provided an opportunity for creating generalized solutions for fetoscopic scene understanding and mosaicking. In this paper,

This paper presents a comparative study between statistical and machine learning methods in forecasting Bitcoin's closing prices. Thirteen forecasting methods namely average, naive, drift, auto-regressive integrated moving-average, simple exponential smoothing (SES), Holt, and damped exponential smoothing, the average of SES, Holt and damped methods, exponential smoothing (ETS), bagged ETS, Theta, multilayer perceptron, and extreme learning machines (ELM) were used to forecast the closing prices for the next 14 days. The findings of this study are three folds. First, there are seven forecasting methods outperformed the naive method namely MLP, ELM, damped exponential smoothing, simple exponential smoothing, Theta, ETS, and ARIMA. Second, MLP and ELM showed better forecasting accuracy on both validation and out-of-sample data among the forecasting methods used in this study. Third, the size of the training data is essential factor that should be considered when training forecasting methods.
