Satellite antennas are widely used in satellite communications and now have become an indispensable part of satellite. It affects and restricts the performance and functions of the entire wireless communication system. Flexible pointing and low power consumption are required for antennas installed on satellites, which makes the design of the pointing mechanism of the satellite antenna more challenging. This paper focuses on the design and analysis of the pointing control mechanism to help improve the flexibility of satellite communication. An optimized structure consisting of spring hinge mechanism, manipulator arm and universal adjustment mechanism is proposed. The material selection and mechanical analysis are also made. Finally, the pointing angle is described based on the mathematical model of the pointing control mechanism.

The intersections are junctions of roads. Recognizing intersections based on LiDAR accurately and quickly is a key task for UGVs. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end real-time intersections recognition network (IRNet) with graph attention convolution based on graph classification and 3D LiDAR point cloud. Multiple evaluations on KITTI and Tunnel dataset demonstrate that our model performs better than other competitive models and meets the real-time recognition. We research the performance of our model under different number of input points, and certify that neither of two spatial transformation networks is effective for our model.

The existing robot-world and hand-eye calibration algorithms always treated the robot pose as a deterministic value. Its uncertainty is not taken into account, which affects the calibration accuracy when the robot's position accuracy is low. In this paper, we proposed a factor graph approach to simultaneous robot-world and hand-eye calibration, which considers the measurement error of the robot joint encoder. And then, the nonlinear optimization of reprojection error minimization based on a product of exponentials (POE)-based model is implemented to solve the calibration problem based on lie groups. Through simulation and experiment, we validated that the proposed algorithm can get more accurate calibration results compared with the state algorithm.

In the traditional direct visual odometry, it is difficult to satisfy the photometric invariant assumption due to the influence of illumination changes in the real environment, which will lead to errors and drift. This paper proposes an improved direct visual odometry system, which combines luminosity and depth information. The algorithm proposed in this paper uses Kinect 2 to collect RGB images with the corresponding depth information, and selects points with large changes of gray gradient to construct a luminosity error function and uses the corresponding depth information to construct a depth error function. The two error functions are merged into one function and converted into the least squares function of the pose of camera, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to solve the camera pose. Finally, the Graph optimization theory and the g2o library are used to optimize the initial pose. Experiments show that the algorithm can reduce the error to a certain extent and reduce the drift caused by illumination changes.

In this paper, a method to estimate the terrain based on footholds and least-squares is presented to make quadrupedal locomotion stable on the sloped terrains, with joint encoders, force sensors and inertial measurement unit (IMU) instead of visual sensors. This method which is tested successfully in simulation can predict two types of terrain, one for adjusting the robot pose and the other for adjusting the trajectory of swing phase. And to make full use of these new capabilities, general balance and locomotion controller is presented. The virtual model controller is embedded into architecture and it allows the robot to handle unexpected terrain. The quadrupedal locomotion in terrain with different inclination prove the robustness of this method.

The ocean contains huge valuable resources, due to the huge pressure in the deep water and the danger of diving, human development is very little. In this paper, we design a small underwater observation robot, which can replace human beings to dive into deep water, detect the deepwater area and sample the water quality. Following the principle of fish diving, the robot uses the piston bucket to pump water and drain water to change its gravity to achieve floating and diving. The main propeller at the tail provides the main driving force. The robot turns by propellers on both sides working at different speeds and propellers can change the thrust direction to provide assist force in the process of diving and floating. The structure design of the tumbler(the design of anti-roll) ensures the anti-interference ability of the robot to the wind and wave. In addition, the robot can be equipped with cameras, depth sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, and other sensors to achieve efficient underwater data sampling. The depth sensor, propeller, and pumping piston are used to control the hovering depth of the robot. The ROV can record good quality of video if provided with proper video graphic tool. The design of ROV which we have conceptualize, is handy and can be powered by 24V DC power which can be easily available at remote location. The experimental results verify the structural reliability of the underwater detection robot and provide a new mobile mechanism platform and a new idea for deep-sea exploration and scientific research.

Robots often collide in the process of simulation soccer match. The collision will block the robot's own motion trajectory, which is not conducive to the robot's ball grasping and defense. Considering that the obstacles have the characteristics of dynamics, antagonism and uncertainty, the robot's motion trajectory, path selection and obstacle avoidance are very important. Taking ROS as the research platform, the study focuses on the path planning of simulated soccer robot. Meanwhile, we have applied some obstacle avoidance algorithms to the Middle Size Simulation League of soccer.

In this work, a real-time wide depth pose estimation method with laser scanning point cloud is proposed. Unlike other 6D pose estimation methods, the proposed method can maintain a robust and accurate tracking performance even when the target spacecraft has an obvious transformation in depth. To make full use of the known model, a pose estimation network based on CNNs is established to estimate the position. After the point cloud is translated according to the estimation result, the quaternion of the target is calculated independently. To evaluate the consequent of the network, we simulated the scanning point cloud with a wide depth range. The results show that the proposed method has strong robustness to the depth transformation and higher computational efficiency.

For purpose of efficiently extracting the fault detailed characteristics of rolling bearing vibration signals in the midst of heavy noise interference, the author combines the mutual information theory and proposes a singular spectrum decomposition effective component discrimination method based on the minimum mutual information criterion. First, the SSD algorithm is used to decompose the original vibration signal into a number of SSC; then the mutual information value between the original signal and each singular spectrum component is calculated separately, based on the nature of the bearing fault vibration signal and the mutual information theory for derivation and analysis, and the selection is determined the singular spectrum component with the smallest mutual information value among the original signal and each component is taken as the best component; finally, the best component selected based on the minimum mutual information value criterion is analysed by envelope spectrum to extract the fault characteristics of rolling bearing. Through the analysis of bearing fault simulation signal and the comparison with other indicators, it is shown that this set of experiments significantly extracts the characteristics of the vibration signals emitted by rolling bearings due to faults in noisy environments, thus revealing promising applications and development prospects.

Canopy cover estimation is widely applied to reflect crop status in agriculture research and management. In particular, an accurate CC estimation is beneficial for crop model calibration, providing high-accuracy observations. Recent solutions on CC are drawn by experimental regression or basic machine learning classifier because CC estimation can be treated as a wheat/non-wheat segmentation task. However, the appearance of hyperparameters in such machine learning algorithms impairs the segmentation performance. In this paper, by the means of UAV multispectral imagery, Bayesian optimization based Random Forest approach is selected to tune the uncertain hyperparameters accurately and robustly, providing a novel way on CC estimation. Experimental results collected in Yangling experiment field by the RedEdge camera on DJI M100 UAV are to evaluate the proposed method. Comparative studies show that the overall accuracy can reach up to 99.9%, promoting 0.2% in comparison with basic Random Forest. Therefore, integrating optimized Random Forest and UAV multispectral imagery can be applied in CC estimation at farmland scales.

Point cloud registration is one of the key issues in fields that need 3D scenes with global vision, including 3D scene reconstruction in robot technology, high-accuracy 3D map reconstruction in automatic driving, 3D reconstruction of real-time monitoring underground tunnel. Recently, point cloud registration methods based on deep neural networks have made great progress by learning from a large amount of well-aligned point cloud pairs. However, these large-scale labelled samples are usually difficult to obtain in the real-world applications such as visual simultaneous location and mapping of mobile robots which obtains unlabelled scene images in real time. To solve this problem, we propose a deep point cloud registration method based on the semi-supervised learning. Specifically, for the problem of less supervised data, we use Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm to generate pseudo labels for the point cloud samples with unknown rigid transformations, effectively increasing the number of supervised data; in order to amend the pseudo labels, we design an alternating optimization algorithm to jointly learn the pseudo labels and deep point cloud registration model. The deep point cloud registration model and ICP are used alternately to continuously improve the precision of pseudo labels and the performance of the deep model. Experimental results show that this method can still obtain a reliable point cloud registration model even when just observing a small amount of point cloud samples with ground truth labels.

Multi-agent system is an important branch of distributed artificial intelligence. As a new field of engineering control science, it has developed vigorously in recent years. From a practical point of view, most existing agents, such as unmanned vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles, are powered by mobile power supply. Therefore, it is of practical significance to consider the battery state and explore how to improve the overall battery life when designing the multi-agent control strategy. In this paper, we first introduced a classical algorithm based on the consensus theory, and on this basis, the overtaking action in the formation is realized by changing the topology, so as to simulate the individuals (action individuals) who consume more energy in the formation; then we discussed how to improve the endurance of high-energy-consuming individuals in formation through average energy consumption in strategy design, and proposed an algorithm based on energy-aware. Finally, the MATLAB simulation results show that compared with the classical algorithm, the proposed algorithm can improve the endurance of formation.

The agricultural water-saving irrigation systems need to be adapted to local conditions, and irrigation emitters with different flow rates need to be designed to meet actual needs. In this study, machine learning approaches were used to predict the flow rate of the labyrinth emitters. The structural parameters of the emitter [number of channel units (N), channel unit length (L), channel width (W), tooth height (H) and channel depth (D)] and working pressure (P) were considered as independent variables. The applied machine learning models included k-nearest neighbor (KNN), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), support vector machine (SVM) and radial basis function artificial neural network (RBF-ANN). The accuracy of the machine learning model was evaluated by the mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2). The results show that the MSE and R2 of the RBF-ANN model were higher than the corresponding parameters of the other three models, indicating the RBF-ANN model can predict the flow rate of the labyrinth emitter more accurately. The research provides a reference for the rapid design of emitters with different flow rate. It is helpful to realize the automation of agricultural irrigation, and then realize the construction of a smart agricultural irrigation system.

Asteroid exploration missions demand more autonomous navigation system that are precise and in real-time. Visual-aided inertial navigation systems combine the advantages of autonomy of inertial navigation systems and accuracy of visual navigation systems. However, both increase the computational burden for the information processing. With the goal of decreasing the computational load, this paper proposes a low cost vision-aided inertial navigation method which can calculate increment position, velocity and attitude directly in inertial frame by pre-integrating IMU measurements. For visual information, specific combinations of the features are selected according to information entropy theory to reduce computation. Simulation results show that the standard deviations of the spacecraft's estimated position error is less than 1 m, the velocity less than 0.002 m/s and the attitude angle less than 0.005 deg, compatible with precision landing on asteroids.

Although Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are developed for military missions originally, they have been used widely in civil activities for several decades globally. In agricultural, UAVs have been developed as an efficient sprayer for pesticide application since 1987. UAV-based sprayers are popular for the prevention and control of pests and diseases in field crop in many countries recently. Some of the UAV-based sprayers are developed to be equipped with fruit tree mode aiming at solving droplet penetration in the inside and bottom part of the fruit tree canopy. In this study, a newly released UAV-based sprayer (i.e., T30) equipped fruit tree mode is chosen as spraying platform to optimize the spraying parameters for practical application. The flight velocity and application rate are the variables, while droplet coverage, density, size, and penetration are the observed metrics. Three treatments with different flight velocities (2 m s-1 or 3 m s-1) or application rates (60 L ha-1 or 75 L ha-1) are arranged to collect the droplets for assessment. Water Sensitive Papers (WSPs) are placed in the outside, bottom, and inside layers of the canopy to collect droplets. The results show that the treatment combined a flight velocity of 2 m s-1 and an application rate of 60 L ha-1 obtains the most droplets among all the variables based on the values of droplet coverage and density. The treatment with a flight velocity of 2 m s-1 and an application rate of 75 L ha-1 has the best penetration, while the treatment with a velocity of 2 m s-1 and an application rate of 60 L ha-1 takes the second place according to the percentages of droplet deposition in the three layers. Overall consideration of the total droplet distribution and penetration of the application parameters, a flight velocity of 2 m s-1 and an application rate of 60 L ha-1 are recommended to get an ideal droplet distribution in tree canopy when UAV-based sprayer T30 equipped with fruit tree mode flies at 1.6∼2 m above the citrus tree canopy.

Using low-cost sensors to achieve high-precision positioning has been a hot research topic in autonomous driving technology, and smartphones not only have the advantages of low cost and easy installation, but also can provide high-precision navigation and positioning services. In this paper, we focus on the cycle-slip detection method based on the original Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations of smartphones. In response to the problem that the phase value of smartphone GNSS has serious cycle slip and the existence of frequent clock jumps will affect the cycle slip detection, a cycle slip detection method that integrates clock jumps and single and dual frequency observations is proposed. The experiments show that the method can effectively detect the continuous and as small as 0.5 week of cycle slip for the phase observations with the sampling rate of 1 Hz. The root mean square error (RMSE) in the L1 and L5 phase residuals after the cycle slip repair is 7.0 mm and 8.3 mm, respectively, with an accuracy improvement of 18.16% and 9.62%, which indicates that this method is effective and feasible.

Deployment of modern detection models is difficult for infrared target detection used in robot vision systems due to their heavy computational burden. To alleviate this situation, a simple but efficient channel pruning method is proposed for model acceleration. Specifically, a soft-gated module combined with batch normalization (SGBN) is designed as a standalone layer to substitute the standard batch normalization (BN) layer during training. The conversion between SGBN and BN is easy, and the training overhead introduced is almost negligible after replacement. By controlling the sparsity of the scaling factor in SGBN, unimportant channels with small output are blocked automatically and globally, which is simultaneous with model training. Removing these redundant channels no longer requires fine-tuning, thus significantly speeding up the pruning process. Experiments of pruning different detection models on the infrared dataset show the effectiveness of our method. For example, the parameters and FLOPs of pruned CetnerNet are reduced by 72.70% and 40.20%, respectively, without accuracy loss. The inference speed on the CPU is 12.01ms faster. Extended studies on the classification task also demonstrate its great potential when transferring to other applications.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) can be attacked by adversarial examples that are undetectable by humans. Generation-based approaches have recently gained popularity because they directly translate the input distribution to the distribution of adversarial instances, making them more effective and efficient. However, existing techniques are susceptible to overfitting on the substitute model, limiting the transferability of adversarial examples. In this paper, we introduce data augmentation into AdvGAN, called AdvGAN-DE, which can dramatically improve the transferability of adversarial examples. Experiments demonstrate that we enhance the success rate by 31.09% for defense models and 10.23% for typically trained models on average when compared to AdvGAN.

The built-in sensors of smartphone, such as cameras, accelerometers and gyroscopes, provide abundant environmental information for positioning. VIO (visual-inertial odometry) can be derived from the embedded camera and inertial sensors to provide the estimation of a continuous and smooth trajectory of the pedestrian. However, the trajectory will drift due to the accumulation of system errors. Currently, DTV (digital TV) signal has been verified to be promising for precise ranging in urban scenarios. Therefore, this paper investigates a method of fusing the VIO with the ranging information from DTV signal to improve the positioning accuracy. An Extended Kalman filter is presented to estimate pedestrian mobile state. Field tests have been carried out and the fusion results can effectively reduce trajectory drift errors and improves positioning performance.

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping, SLAM) is the key technology for mobile robots to obtain information about their position and surrounding environment, but both laser radar and vision sensors have limitations in solving SLAM problems, for example: a single laser sensor can't do mapping effectively for hollowed-out obstacles, while a single vision sensor can't work well in areas without texture. Besides, the existing loop detection technology still has some problems such as large calculation resources and errors. To solve the above problems, an improved SLAM algorithm laser and vision fusion was presented in this paper. In this algorithm, a Gaussian statistical linear interpolation algorithm was used to interpolate the laser point cloud, and then the interpolated laser raster map and visual raster map are fused by the Bayesian method to obtain a denser and more accurate map. Furthermore, the histogram was used to improve the loop detection part to further improve the positioning accuracy. The improved loop detection algorithm was simulated and verified by running the TUM data set. On this basis, a mobile robot experiment system was built to do mapping in the laboratory scene. The experimental results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can map the hollowed-out area accurately and effectively, it plays a significant role in improving the drawing effect of the robot, and can provide more accurate location information, which has good practicability.

With the continuous development of network, the increasing popularity of embedded technology, and the continuous improvement of mobile terminal computing ability, how to reduce the size of the model without affecting the accuracy as much as possible, and how to deploy the algorithm in embedded devices has become the current research hotspot. In this paper, we propose a new target detection algorithm called YOLOX-Mobile. Firstly, in order to further reduce the power consumption of embedded devices while maintaining the performance, we replaced the SiLU activation function in the original YOLOX with Mish activation function. Because SiLU activation functions occupy a certain amount of computing and storage resources, and the cost of calculating the Sigmoid type functions on mobile devices is much higher. Therefore, we use Mish functions that are smoother, non-monotonic, unbounded upper and lower bounds are used as activation functions to better meet the low power requirements of embedded devices. Secondly, we used Focal Loss as the Loss function of obj_output to achieve the balance of positive and negative samples, as well as hard-to-classify and easy-to-classify samples. Thirdly, we introduce the Involution operator and use it as the convolution kernel of 3×3. We validated the proposed algorithm on public dataset VOC2012 against the current mainstream YOLOX, YOLOX-M, and YOLOX-S algorithms. The mAP of our proposed algorithm is 78.22% and the detection speed is 55.26 FPS. Compared with the original YOlOX, YOLOX-M and YOLOX-S algorithms, the average FPS is improved by 1.99% and 4.13 FPS, and the average Params Size is reduced by 28.80%. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm improves the accuracy and speed of detection on top of greatly reducing the network parameters and computation, making it a more suitable target detection algorithm for mobile devices.

Time series forecasting play an important role in many applications, and combining neural networks to forecast time series features can uncover many potential application situations. For example, forecasting traffic flow time series data is important for urban traffic planning and traffic management. Accurate forecasting of traffic flow provides the basis for road traffic control, which in turn improves traffic efficiency and reduces congestion. In this paper, STSeNN is proposed, which combines graph neural network and TCN to dynamically capture the spatial correlation, temporal correlation and semantic correlation of data. Experiments show that the prediction performance of STSeNN on the traffic flow datasets is more accurate compared with existing methods.

Neural Network is an excellent methodology for predicting lithium battery state of health (SOH). However, if the data amount is insufficient, the neural network will be overfitted, which decreass the prediction accuracy of SOH. To solve this issue, a data augmentation method based on random noise superposition is proposed. The original dataset is expanded in this approach, which enhances the neural network's generalization ability. Moreover, random noises simulate capacity regeneration, capacity dips and sensor errors during the actual operation of lithium batteries, which also improves the adaptive and robustness of the SOH prediction method. The proposed method is validated on mainstream neural networks, including long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural networks. In terms of the results, the proposed data augmentation method effectively improves the neural network generalization ability and lithium battery SOH prediction accuracy.

With the rapid development of powered transtibial prostheses, the control of motorized actuators is a research hotspot. This study designs a double-loop impedance controller to improve the performance of the traditional controller. Including time-varying parameters, the designed controller is implemented on a novel elastic actuator. Under different loads of users' weights, simulation tests are conducted in a working condition of walking, and the results show that the designed control system has outstanding performances in the control of an entire gait cycle. The error between output and reference of ankle joint position during walking is less than 0.013rad in each sample time. A position disturbance test demonstrates that the control also has a high tolerance of any position disturbance at the ankle joint. The double-loop impedance controller can replace traditional finite-state impedance control in the field of the powered transtibial prosthesis and has the potential to be applied in other relative fields.

Tasks in real-time systems have strict time requirements and need to be completed before their deadlines. Whenever the real-time task set changes, the real-time system reruns the schedulability analysis method to determine whether the tasks in the new task set can be completed before their deadlines. Since new tasks can not be executed until the execution of the schedulability analysis method is completed, the execution efficiency of the schedulability analysis method directly affects the actual performance of the real-time system. Response time analysis (RTA) is a typical method for schedulability analysis. It calculates the response times of tasks and tests the schedulability of tasks by comparing the calculation results and the relative deadlines of tasks. We found that the execution efficiency of existing RTAs can be improved by reasonably sorting the calculation order of the tasks. A task sequencing strategy is proposed to improve the execution efficiency of existing RTAs.

Based on large-scale storage and networked computing resources, cloud computing technology provides a strong computing platform which could support for massive data storage and big data intelligent application in the different field. Space-based information infrastructure has matured over the years, but most of the satellite systems are independent, which cause the resources of the satellite computing platform are isolated from each other.

Although federated learning can break the data island and enhance privacy, it is not absolutely secure. External eavesdroppers can intercept the model when clients upload their models to the server, which might be used to infer the data information. A natural solution is to add noise to the uploaded model. However, this solution has its drawback, because the added noise cannot be eliminated when the models are aggregated at the server, which leads to poor performance. In order to tackle this problem, we propose a simple but effective algorithm, FedNoise. In the vanilla federated learning algorithm, a gradually decreasing learning rate is applied at the client side. While in our algorithm, we divide the parameter update into client-side and server-side. The stochastic gradient descent update with constant learning rate is performed at the client side and a gradually decreasing learning rate is performed at the server. Our algorithm can not only ensure the data security, but also maintain comparable system performance. Simulation results validate our conclusion.

Firstly, an object detection algorithm is constructed based on Faster R-CNN two-stage detector, which is trained on COCO2017 and VOC0712 public datasets, and the performance of the trained detector is evaluated. On this basis, the actual image data is collected from the campus scene, and divided into different groups according to the shooting angle, lighting conditions, occlusion, etc. After using the algorithm to detect, the results are analyzed systematically. In general, occlusion between objects is more likely to lead to unsatisfactory detection results.

Value iterative networks (VINs), as a differentiable path planning method, taking environmental images as input, can solve path planning problems in new and unseen environments with powerful generalization capabilities. But the planning success rate decreases rapidly as the planning space scales. We propose the potential field augmented VIN by replacing the environmental map with the potential map as input and implementing this process in the form of dilated convolutions, giving more a priori information to the subsequent planning computation while hardly increasing the computational cost. Experiments on 2D grid-world show that the improved method has higher path planning success rates and smaller difference of predicted paths from shortest paths, as well as smaller performance degradation with increasing map size.

Currently, indoor location-based services (ILBSs) have increasing requirements in people's daily life. In the meanwhile, the wearable devices are becoming more popular. In this paper, we studied a wearable system for indoor localization mainly based on INS/UWB. In order to achieve high-precision, stable, and continuous positioning, a sensor fusion method with anomaly detection is proposed. In the method, the sensor fusion method is derived from Bayesian estimation and a particle filter is developed to solve the nonlinearity problem and non-Gaussian errors for indoor positioning. In addition, the anomaly detection eliminates effects of NLoS and multipath effects significantly with the Mahalanobis distance. Two field experiments are conducted, and the results demonstrate that the 90% error of the proposed adaptive particle filter is 0.53 m, which is a 40% decrease compared with the PDR-only and UWB-only and classic PF, indicating better robustness and stability.

Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) brain tumor diagnosis is an effective technical approach. To accurately segment tumor regions, we propose a novel brain tumor segmentation method based on improved Spatial Attention mechanism and Multi-path neural network (SAMPU-Net). Firstly, we propose a multipath input method to extract feature information of different scales by using convolution kernels of different sizes, so as to fully extract MRI feature information. Secondly, we improve the spatial attention mechanism by adding convolution layer of pyramid structure to it to obtain the features of different receptive fields. In the convolution layer of this pyramid structure, the larger the convolution kernel is, the more global features will be extracted; conversely, the smaller the convolution kernel is, the more local features will be extracted. Thirdly, we use more multi-mode MRI information to segment the brain tumor images. In practical application, due to the fuzzy tumor regions in some MRIs, we use the method of restricted contrast adaptive histogram equalization to perform local enhancement of images. The proposed model and several other mainstream segmentation methods are trained and tested on the BraTS2019 public dataset. Experimental results indicate that using our method, the Dice coefficient of tumor core and tumor enhancement region is increased by 2.4% and 1.3% respectively, and our proposed method has better segmentation effect than other methods.

The fuzzy broad learning system (FBLS) is a novel, neuro-fuzzy model. Different from other neuro-fuzzy models with low efficiency, FBLS can obtain better performance using less computation time. However, the clustering-based fuzzy rule generation approach makes the performance of FBLS limited. Meanwhile, it is unknown how the enhancement layers from FBLS contribute to the model performance, which hinders the further extension of the model structure. To solve these problems, we propose a sparse enhancement fuzzy broad learning system (SEFBLS). It uses only a sparse set of enhancement nodes to replace the original enhancement node groups. To obtain a better representation, the designed principal component-based sparse autoencoder is used for feature reconstruction and information removal. In addition, to explore the optimal model structure and performance, multiple clustering methods (fuzzy and non-fuzzy) are used to improve SEFBLS. The results on 10 UCI classification datasets show that the proposed SEFBLS obtains competitive accuracy using fewer fuzzy rules.

Grid-connected inverters incorporate distributed energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind energy into the micro-grid. Due to the volatility of distributed energy generation and the presence of a large number of non-linear loads in the micro-grid, harmonic wave seriously affect power quality. The grid-connected inverter with active filtering function is formed by adding the harmonic wave suppression function to the grid-tie inverter, which not only realizes the inverter grid connection but also achieves the purpose of harmonic wave compensation. The traditional model predictive control (MPC) has the characteristics of strong robustness and fast dynamic response, but its high switching frequency causes serious heating of the inverter. In response to the above problems, combined with hysteresis control theory, a model control strategy based on hysteresis is proposed in this paper, which improves the accuracy of grid-connected current of the grid-connected inverter with active filter function and inhibits the harmonic component of the system, verifying the effectiveness of the strategy.

Honeypot is a proactive defense technology introduced by defenders. Through the honeypots, defenders can deceive attackers to illegally take advantage of the honeypots and capture and analyze the attack behaviors to understand the attack tools and methods. To build honeypots, defenders first imitate vulnerable systems to entice the attacker to attack, then deploy monitoring systems that is responsible for monitoring and recording the attacker's behavior. It is of concern that monitoring system is the key to determine the performance of honeypots, because obtaining attackers' behavior is the main purpose of deploying honeypots, and monitoring system's performance determines whether attackers' behavior can be accurately and comprehensively recorded. In this paper, we introduce a novel TaintDroid based honeypot monitoring system for embedded device.

Most Android mobile anti-virus software in the industry is checked at the application level, and users familiar with the Android operating system are well aware that the use of virtual clicks, function execution, or shell commands can force the application to stop, which poses a threat to the real-time monitoring of anti-virus software. Moreover, the current mainstream anti-virus software in the industry can only let users manually uninstall or deactivate malicious apps when detected, which also makes the anti-virus software in Android mobile lose the ability of mobile anti-virus software to remove or delete viruses and Trojans automatically. To solve the problems above, in this paper, we train a mobile anti-virus model based on Resnet50 and proposes an Android mobile anti-virus method using remote thread injection - overriding the execution of malicious code by RTI means such as hook API, nulling related functions, rewriting related classes or functions to preserve the app as much as possible. In contrast, The model can identify malicious code with the highest accuracy. The model's recognition accuracy is up to 98.14%, and the malicious code blocking rate is up to 99.70% after recognition.

Evaporation duct is a kind of special atmospheric stratification that frequently appears on the sea surface, which has an important influence on the propagation and attenuation of electromagnetic waves, and is an important factor affecting the efficiency of marine radars and communication equipment. After the development in more than half a century, evaporation duct height can be obtained by direct detection, theoretical model, inversion and machine learning. Machine learning can explore the hidden laws of data efficiently and has the potential to surpass the traditional theoretical model. In this paper, the Machine Learning methods in evaporation duct research are shown and prospects of machine learning methods in evaporation duct research are given.
