Hand pose estimation is one of the representative tasks in computer vision. Solving the hand pose estimation problem is essential for various fields such as virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and human-computer interaction. Due to the significant development of deep learning techniques, the hand pose estimation task has reached significant performance on many hand pose estimation datasets. However, the hand pose estimation task still faces many challenges due to the lack of large-scale labeled data, severe occlusion, low hand resolution, and background clutter. To better understand the hand pose estimation task, this paper presents a comprehensive survey of outstanding papers over the last five years. The paper first introduces 19 common hand pose estimation datasets, then extensively discusses some of the mainstream approaches in hand pose estimation, including fully supervised, semi-supervised, weakly supervised, and self-supervised learning methods. Finally, we extensively discuss the future evolution trends of hand pose estimation.

sEMG signal is widely used and explored in control strategies of powered assistive human-robot interaction systems due to its non-invasive nature and ability to estimate motion intention well. However, prolonged use of the sEMG-based systems leads to muscle fatigue, contributing to unstable sEMG signals and regarding the performance of sEMG-based control strategies. In this study, three subjects, including two healthy subjects and one stroke subject, participated in our experiment, and the time domain, frequency domain, and complex features extracted from their $sEMG$ signals were utilized to evaluate muscle fatigue. The results indicate that $sEMG$ from the stroke side of the stroke subject contains more non-linear and chaotic parts, and the statistical differences between different trials are more significant, indicating that stroke has a more significant impact on the stroke side of the stroke subject. This study suggests that RMS in the stroke side of stroke subjects is less than that in others, whereas FuzzyEn in the stroke side of stroke subjects is greater than that in others, indicating that stroke leads to different motion patterns and more susceptibility to muscle fatigue.

Ultrasound scanning is an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern medicine, but obtaining an accurate standard plane relies heavily on the sonographer’s skill and expertise. This paper presents a novel approach toward autonomous robotic ultrasound scanning using a reinforcement learning-based navigation method with volumetric ultrasound data. The proposed method enables an ultrasound robot to autonomously acquire high-quality 2D standard planes from patients, thereby reducing the need for human intervention. The core of the approach is a deep reinforcement learning algorithm that detects 2D standard planes within the 3D ultrasound volume and guides the ultrasound probe to extract high-quality standard planes. To assess the effectiveness of the 2D standard plane detection method, an evaluation was conducted using a realworld ultrasound dataset, and a comparison was made between its performance and that of other state-of-the-art autonomous approaches. The simulation experiment was also conducted to validate the autonomous robotic ultrasound acquisition workflow. Results demonstrate that the reinforcement learning-based volumetric data navigation method outperforms existing techniques in terms of standard plane accuracy and is very effective for volumetric data-based robotic navigation.

Content-based video retrieval aims to retrieve near-duplicate entries from a database of a given query video. It plays an important role in combating video piracy. Robustness to video temporal dynamics is crucial for a representation model in video retrieval, as frames extracted from two copied videos are hardly temporally aligned in actual situations. However, current image retrieval datasets have difficulty in evaluating this robustness. To address this issue, we collect Similar Frame Dataset (SFD), which consists of 32,923 query-target pairs with 128,240 distraction images. The task of SFD is to retrieve the target frame from all items given a query frame. SFD is constructed by sampling frames from Kinetics-700 action classification dataset. An object detection model (Faster R-CNN) and a Multimodal Large Language Model (BLIP2) are used during sampling to select those valid frames. Besides, we propose Adjacent Frames Contrastive Learning (AFCL) framework. In AFCL, adjacent frames are sampled from unlabeled videos as positive pairs. An image representation model with robustness to changing frames can be trained under AFCL framework and achieve the state-of-the-art performance on SFD. The code will be released at https://***/Chuan-shanjia/Similar-Frame-Dataset.

Smart manufacturing systems combine collaborative and autonomous control systems to provide optimal performance and respond to volatile demands. A key component of smart manufacturing is material management, as raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished products must be transported to the right location at the right time. However, during the production phase, it is imperative to establish an optimal traffic control scheme in order to avoid congestion and optimize material flow. This paper proposes a platooning-based control procedure implemented in a virtual agent-based manufacturing environment to increase the material flow efficiency on a manufacturing shop floor. An analysis of the production makespan and an indicator of the level of congestion in the material handling system was conducted in order to determine productivity improvements. An agent-based simulation is used to test the effectiveness of the novel platooning approach versus a traditional basic approach. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) reveals that the inclusion of a platoon-based procedure improves production performance and reduces congestion risks.
