A maxillofacial Multi-arm surgery robot is employed to assisting maxillofacial surgery, which can improve surgical precision and reduce surgeons' strain. Thus, the safety during the processing of the surgery is necessary for protecting the patient and preventing the quality of the surgery. This paper presents the development of a collision and self-collision-detection scheme, for Maxillofacial Multi-arm Surgery Robot. The method is based on modeling the arm of Multi-arm robot and the obstacle in surgery environment by simple geometric primitives (cylinders and spheres). Methods of detecting collision about the cylinders and the spheres are introduced. By resorting to the pose of cylinder or sphere which presents in the workspace, many different types of collisions are introduced. The performance of the collision-avoidance scheme is demonstrated with Multi-arm robot via experiments.

Listwise approaches are an important class of learning to rank, which utilizes automatic learning techniques to discover useful information. Most previous research on listwise approaches has focused on optimizing ranking models using weights and has used imprecisely labeled training data; optimizing ranking models using features was largely ignored thus the continuous performance improvement of these approaches was hindered. To address the limitations of previous listwise work, we propose a quasi-KNN model to discover the ranking of features and employ rank addition rule to calculate the weight of combination. On the basis of this, we propose three listwise algorithms, FeatureRank, BL-FeatureRank, and DiffRank. The experimental results show that our proposed algorithms can be applied to a strict ordered ranking training set and gain better performance than state-of-the-art listwise algorithms.

The rotation matrix estimation problem is a keypoint for mobile robot localization, navigation, and control. Based on the quaternion theory and the epipolar geometry, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is proposed to estimate the rotation matrix by using a single-axis gyroscope and the image points correspondence from a monocular camera. The experimental results show that the precision of mobile robot s yaw angle estimated by the proposed EKF algorithm is much better than the results given by the image-only and gyroscope-only method, which demonstrates that our method is a preferable way to estimate the rotation for the autonomous mobile robot applications.

This paper carried out the absorbance experiments on different pesticide formulations and mixed pesticide concentration sensor design for online mixing system based on the precision spray requirements. There are many different pesticide formorlations, among which wettable powder (WP) and emulsifiable concentrates (EC) are most widely used ones in China. The optical methods were chosen for quick and precise measurement based on the physical characteristics of commonly used pesticide formulations and generally low spraying concentrations. Firstly we carried out monochromatic light absorbance experiments to study the optical properties of different pesticide formulations. We prepared the solutions with different possible spraying concentrations of WP and EC of several commonly used pesticdes and used UV-Vis spectrophotometer to measur the absorbance of the prepared solutions. The experiment results show that: in the UV-visible wavelength range, the absorbances of the suspension or emulsion of WP or EC generally decrease with increasing optical wavelength, but the solution concentration and the absorbance value is not proportional. In the 600-800nm range the absorbances have good differentiation. In order to select the appropriate absorbance range of wavelengths and considering the available of laser diode, the monochromatic light with wavelength of 650nm was chosen as the source light. Then we carried out the preliminary design of mixed pesticide concentration sensor. The sensor is composed of monochromatic light source module, the light detection circuit and signal processing module. The structure of the sensor was also preliminarily designed.

Background modeling from a stationary camera is a crucial component in video surveillance. Traditional methods usually adopt single feature type to solve the problem, while the performance is usually unsatisfactory when handling complex scenes. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale strategy, which combines both texture and color features, to achieve a robust and accurate solution. Our contributions are two folds: one is that we propose a novel texture operator named Scale-invariant Center-symmetric Local Ternary Pattern, which is robust to noise and illumination variations, the other is that a multi-scale fusion strategy is proposed for the issue. Our method is verified on several complex real world videos with illumination variation, soft shadows and dynamic backgrounds. We compare our method with four state-of-the-art methods, and the experimental results clearly demonstrate that our method achieves the highest classification accuracy in complex real world videos.
