The new generation of industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPS) supported by the edge computing technology enables efficient distributed sensing under massive data volumes and frequent transmissions. Observability is essential to obtain good sensing performance, and most of existing sensing works directly assume that the system is observable. However, it is difficult to satisfy the assumption with the increasingly expanded network scale and dynamic scheduling of devices. To solve this problem, we propose an observability guaranteed distributed method (OGDM) for edge sensing with the cooperation of sensors and edge computing units (ECUs). We analyze the relationship between sensor scheduling and observability based on the network topology and graph signal processing (GSP) technology. In addition, we transform the observability condition into a convex form and take into account sensing error and energy consumption for optimization. Finally, our algorithm is applied to estimate the slab temperature in the hot rolling process. The effectiveness is verified by simulation results.
To execute a variety of collaborative tasks, the cooperation for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with complicated interactions under dynamic environments is a challenging and critical issue. This paper studies the coo...

Building paired datasets in low-light enhancement entails significant cost and time, making such datasets precious commodities. Many researchers focus on how to enable models to learn more information from limited datasets. A prevalent strategy involves employing semi-supervised learning techniques to enhance model performance through additional unpaired images. However, one of the main challenges faced is the scarcity of a vast number of unpaired images from the same domain as the original low-light images. Consequently, we introduce a semi-supervised image enhancement method using pseudo-low-light images. Initially, we generate pseudo low-light images with less noise compared with the source domain image by the Signal-to-Noise Ratio prior and diffusion models. We then employ the Mean-Teacher network and the feature constraints of the pseudo-low-light images to realize low-light image enhancement. Comprehensive experimental results validate the efficacy of our approach on real-world datasets.

This paper presents a study on the robust stability analysis of linear time-invariant systems with parameter uncertainties and norm-bounded uncertainties. By utilizing the structured singular value, necessary and sufficient conditions for robust stability are derived. Based on the stability condition, the stability margin of the uncertain system is obtained from the skewed structured singular value. Additionally, numerical simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The joint design of control and transmission has been demonstrated to be a successful technique for enhancing the performance of industrial cyber-physical systems (ICPS). In the majority of existing works, the control cost and the transmission cost are defined independently, followed by a weighted total calculation. This approach suffers from a dimension consistency issue, leading the results to diverge from the system's actual optimal performance. Hence, it is necessary to consider the overall information of the loop and characterize the coupling relationship between control and transmission to construct the overall system performance function. This paper proposes a full loop age of information (FL-AoI) based control and transmission joint design architecture for multi-subsystem ICPS integrating multi-hop network. The state delay, input delay, and event trigger are all taken into consideration by FL-AoI to more fully portray the freshness of the information. We provide a novel control performance based on FL-AoI where the network characteristics are incorporated into the control cost, which could tackle the dimensionality mismatch brought by the form of weighted summation of the control and transmission cost. We also provide the FL-AoI-based strategy for the controller and event-triggering mechanism and derive the cost's boundary. The evaluation results demonstrate that, in comparison to the conventional joint design strategy, our solution increases the stability of the control system while decreasing the network burden.

Nighttime semantic segmentation has attracted considerable attention due to its crucial status in the smart city. However, it is challenging to handle poor illumination and indiscernible information. To tackle these problems, a saliency-guided domain adaptation network, SGDA, is proposed via adapting daytime models to nighttime scenes. Firstly, a saliency guidance branch is attached to the segmentation network to enrich the spatial features and guide the model to better perceive detail information. Secondly, to embed the saliency guidance to the segmentation network, a pyramid attention architecture is designed to fuse the features from the two branches. Thirdly, an illumination adaptation module is constructed to close the intensity distributions via adversarial learning, with an elaborately designed loss function to improve the performance. Extensive experiments on Dark Zurich dataset and Nighttime Driving dataset validate the effectiveness of SGDA, and indicate that our method improves the accuracy on small object categories,

Safe and stable operation of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system requires stringent control of oxygen excess ratio (OER). However, the OER regulation in PEMFC is challenging due to frequent fluctuations of current, various modeling nonlinearities, constrained manipulated variable, and real-time requirements. Offset-free model predictive control (MPC) provides a useful means for controlling systems with disturbances and constraints, but suffers from the heavy computational burden of repeatedly solving an optimization problem in real time. Such computational issue precludes the possibility of meeting the real-time requirements of PEMFC. In this paper, a PEMFC cathode gas supply model is firstly established. Next, we develop a safe deep learning-based offset-free MPC algorithm. Based on the nominal offset-free MPC, the proposed MPC not only reserves the ability of disturbance rejection, but also leverages deep neural networks for approximating the explicit solution to the MPC problem to greatly reduce online computational time. Furthermore, a gauge map is used to guarantee the satisfaction of safe constraints regarding compressor voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed MPC is an order of magnitude faster than the nominal offset-free MPC.
