Visual relocalization is a fundamental problem in computer vision and robotics. Recently, regression-based methods become popular and they can be categorized into two classes: absolute pose regression and scene coordinate regression. In this work, we present a combined regression network that jointly learns scene coordinate regression and absolute pose regression for single-image visual relocalization. The proposed network composes of a feature encoder and two regression branches with uncertainty modeling. In particular, we design a deep feature conditioning module, aiming at propagating the coarse pose information in absolute pose regression to inform the predictions in scene coordinate regression. The proposed network is trained in an end-to-end fashion to learn both regression tasks. Moreover, we propose an uncertainty-driven RANSAC algorithm that incorporates the predicted scene coordinates and their uncertainties to solve the camera pose during inference. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to combine scene coordinate regression and pose regression in a hierarchical framework for visual relocalization. Experiments on indoor and outdoor benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art methods.

The rising demand for reliable, high-bandwidth satellite communications in far-reach areas drives the integration of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites into future 6G networks. In this paper, we investigate the deployment of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology and rate splitting multiple access (RSMA) within LEO satellite systems to improve communication quality and system capacity. We derive closed-form expressions for outage probability (OP) and reliable throughput that validate the theoretical advantages of these technologies under various signal-to-noise ratio conditions. Numerical results demonstrate that, compared with traditional space division multiple access (SDMA) and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) approaches, our RSMA and RIS-integrated framework significantly can reduce OP and enhance reliable throughput with an appropriate power-splitting factor, showcasing its superiority in RIS-enabled satellite communication scenarios.

We consider a fully-decoupled radio access network (FD-RAN), where base stations (BSs) are physically decoupled into control BSs, uplink BSs and downlink BSs, and multi-connectivity becomes the default user equipment (UE) association mode. Specifically, we study the inter-frequency multi-connectivity in downlink of FD-RAN and present a deep reinforcement learning based online multi-connectivity mobility management scheme. We formulate a UE dynamic multiple access problem and transform it into a handover decision problem, then apply the double deep Q-network (DDQN) algorithm to make real time mobility management decisions. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms benchmarks in terms of handover frequency and quality of service, while ensuring real-time performance.

The influence of automation in the agriculture and construction industry plays a vital role in the development of the economic backbone of any country. The factors such as power, torque and speed are efficiently controlled by automation devices using Internet of things (IoT). The heavy vehicles are the multi-faced application carrier which is been used in construction, agriculture, mining and other heavy-duty fields. This research focuses on developing a IoT integrated sensor-based obstacle detection system for programmed autonomous heavy vehicles which will improve safety in both on-road and off-road construction. The automation process consists of two main categories: Observing the environment and recognizing the activities. The environment in our case is both highways and rural roads. An intelligent- camera is utilised to capture the activities from the captured video and process the data. A LiDAR sensor performs the obstacle detection process using laser reflection technology and an ultrasonic sensor is used to process the vibration and sound produced by the obstacle or upcoming vehicles. These three sensors are integrated with a controller-based device to be powered by the power distribution system in the programmed autonomous heavy vehicle.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive distributed learning algorithm that not only resists three types of Byzantine attacks (i.e., gradient negative direction attacks, gradient partial dimension zeroing attacks, gradient scaling attacks) but also ensures high model accuracy. The proposed algorithm is built on a fully distributed model: clients share their local model updates with a group of dynamic committee clients, who cooperatively and iteratively train a global model. Specifically, to counter gradient negative direction attacks, we design a method based on gradient projection that maps clients' local gradients into small subspaces. The design allows committee clients to efficiently and precisely filter out adversarial clients by comparing angles between these subspaces. Moreover, considering that data heterogeneity among clients may cause misdetections of gradient partial dimension zeroing and scaling attacks, thereby reducing model accuracy, we introduce an adaptive multi-dimensional scoring method, which is applied after the gradient-projection-based filtering. The method assists committee clients in scoring and selecting most suitable clients for model aggregation using three hyperparameters, and thus achieves a balance between model accuracy and security. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on real-world datasets to show the proposed algorithm's effectiveness: it can achieve Byzantine robustness and simultaneously maintain high model accuracy.

The shift to hybrid teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic brought about a real challenge to predict student performance and conduct timely interventions on at-risk students. This study proposed a deep neural network supporting the early prediction of student performance. Bidirectional LSTM, Global Average Pooling, and TIME MASK structure were utilized in the improved GritNet model. Subsequently, this study optimized the hyperparameters with the aid of the hill-climbing algorithm. Finally, on-campus data sets were used in experiments to evaluate the model's performance. Data were collected from a course that carried out multiple iterations from Fall 2021 to Fall 2022. In Fall 2022, the proposed model achieved a ROC-AUC value of 95.47% in the 8th week, while the baseline model only achieved 91.44% in the same week. Besides, the proposed model achieved a ROC-AUC value of 89.67% in the 4th week, which meant it had acceptable prediction performance in the early stage. The experimental findings demonstrated that the model was capable of predicting the academic performance of students in hybrid courses early on.
