The algorithm is based on quadratic constraint total least-squares (QC-TLS) method and gives an explicit solution. The total least-squares method is a generalized data fitting method that is appropriate for cases when the system model contains error or is not known exactly, and quadratic constraint, which could be realized via Lagrange multipliers technique, could constrain the solution to the location equations to improve location accuracy. Comparisons of performance with ordinary least-squares are made, and Monte Carlo simulations are performed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm has high location accuracy and achieves accuracy close to the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) near the small TDOA measurement error region.展开更多

The algorithm can not only guarantee stability of the system and zero steady state error, but also satisfy the hard constraints of input and output variables. The simulation results show the improved algorithm is feasible and effective.展开更多

摘要The virtual preassembly of super-high steel bridge towers faces a challenge in the efficient and precise extraction of complex cross-sectional features.Factors such as fabrication errors,gravity-induced deformations,and temperature fluctuations can compromise the accuracy of contour extraction.To address these limitations,an improved Alpha-shape-based point cloud contour extraction method is proposed.The proposed approach uses a hierarchical strategy to process three-dimensional laser scanning point clouds.The processed data are then subjected to curvatureadaptive voxel filtering to reduce acquisition noise.In addition,an enhanced iterative closest point(ICP)variant with correspondence validation accurately aligns the discrete point cloud segments.The proposed curvature-responsive Alpha-shape framework enables multiscale contour delineation through topology-adaptive threshold modulation,which resolves boundary ambiguities in geometrically complex cross-sections.The method was experimentally validated using field-acquired measurement datasets from the Zhangjinggao Yangtze River Bridge tower segments,confirming its capability to reconstruct noncanonical cross-sectional geometries.Three contour extraction methods,including Poisson reconstruction,the conventional Alpha-shape algorithm,and random sample consensus with ICP(RANSAC-ICP),were compared to evaluate the performance of the proposed Alpha-shape algorithm.The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior contour extraction accuracy and data reduction efficiency,highlighting its effectiveness in contour extraction tasks.

摘要Mixed-weight least-squares (MWLS) predictive control algorithm, compared with quadratic programming (QP) method, has the advantages of reducing the computer burden, quick calculation speed and dealing with the case in which the optimization is infeasible. But it can only deal with soft constraints. In order to deal with hard constraints and guarantee feasibility, an improved algorithm is proposed by recalculating the setpoint according to the hard constraints before calculating the manipulated variable and MWLS algorithm is used to satisfy the requirement of soft constraints for the system with the input constraints and output constraints. The algorithm can not only guarantee stability of the system and zero steady state error, but also satisfy the hard constraints of input and output variables. The simulation results show the improved algorithm is feasible and effective.

摘要A novel intelligent optimization algorithm inspired by nature,called sea otter optimization algorithm(SOOA),is proposed.The SOOA simulates the natural behaviors of sea otters,such as using tactile senses to search for food in seawater,grooming their fur,feeding with the aid of stones,and escaping from danger.In the exploration stage,a wetness factor is introduced to control the behavior of sea otters in foraging and grooming;a danger factor is introduced to control the behavior of sea otters in feeding and avoiding dangers in the exploitation stage,and the behaviors of sea otters in responding to different dangers are mathematically modeled.The proposed algorithm is compared with 9 well-known intelligent optimization algorithms,and evaluated in 13 benchmark functions as well as wireless sensor network coverage optimization problems to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.The experimental results show that the node coverage after SOOA optimization reaches 91.2%in 2D environment and 90.47%in 3D environment.Compared with other algorithms,SOOA is superior and possesses the ability to solve complex optimization problems.

摘要The cemented tailings backfill(CTB)with initial defects is more prone to destabilization damage under the influence of various unfavorable factors during the mining process.In order to investigate its influence on the stability of underground mining engineering,this paper simulates the generation of different degrees of initial defects inside the CTB by adding different contents of air-entraining agent(AEA),investigates the acoustic emission RA/AF eigenvalues of CTB with different contents of AEA under uniaxial compression,and adopts various denoising algorithms(e.g.,moving average smoothing,median filtering,and outlier detection)to improve the accuracy of the data.The variance and autocorrelation coefficients of RA/AF parameters were analyzed in conjunction with the critical slowing down(CSD)theory.The results show that the acoustic emission RA/AF values can be used to characterize the progressive damage evolution of CTB.The denoising algorithm processed the AE signals to reduce the effects of extraneous noise and anomalous spikes.Changes in the variance curves provide clear precursor information,while abrupt changes in the autocorrelation coefficient can be used as an auxiliary localization warning signal.The phenomenon of dramatic increase in the variance and autocorrelation coefficient curves during the compression-tightening stage,which is influenced by the initial defects,can lead to false warnings.As the initial defects of the CTB increase,its instability precursor time and instability time are prolonged,the peak stress decreases,and the time difference between the CTB and the instability damage is smaller.The results provide a new method for real-time monitoring and early warning of CTB instability damage.

摘要Frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output(FDA-MIMO)radar has gained considerable research attention due to its ability to effectively counter active repeater deception jamming in complex electromagnetic environments.The effectiveness of interference suppression by FDA-MIMO is limited by the inherent range-angle coupling issue in the FDA beampattern.Existing literature primarily focuses on control methods for FDA-MIMO radar beam direction under the assumption of static beampatterns,with insufficient exploration of techniques for managing nonstationary beam directions.To address this gap,this paper initially introduces the FDA-MIMO signal model and the calculation formula for the FDA-MIMO array output using the minimum variance distortionless response(MVDR)beamformer.Building on this,the problem of determining the optimal frequency offset for the FDA is rephrased as a convex optimization problem,which is then resolved using the cuckoo search(CS)algorithm.Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach,showing that the frequency offsets obtained through the CS algorithm can create a dot-shaped beam direction at the target location while effectively suppressing interference signals within the mainlobe.

摘要Amplitude Phase Shift Keying(APSK)is more suitable for the nonlinear channels of Low Earth Orbit(LEO)satellite communication systems compared to Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(QAM).To tackle challenges posed by Direct Current(DC)interference and high demodulation complexity,we propose an APSK demodulation algorithm based on K-means clustering.Initially,static DC components are calculated and removed from the received APSK signals.Subsequently,the estimated APSK constellation points serve as initial centers for K-means clustering.These centers are refined through the K-means process and act as theoretical APSK constellation points for the Max-Log-MAP demodulation algorithm,effectively eliminating residual DC.We then introduce a low-complexity APSK demodulation algorithm that utilizes the symmetry of constellation points along with the Euclidean distance between DC-eliminated signals and these constellation points to minimize the set of constellation points.Simulation results indicate that for 32-APSK,our proposed demodulation submodule reduces computational complexity to approximately one-third that of the Max-Log-MAP algorithm while improving Bit Error Rate(BER)performance by about 0.23 dB.Furthermore,end-to-end simulation experiments conducted within LEO satellite communication systems demonstrate that our approach not only maintains this complexity advantage but also enhances BER performance by approximately 1.1 dB.
摘要Seismic time series forecasting remains challenging due to the nonlinearity,non-stationarity,and noise of earthquake data,and because deep learning models are sensitive to preprocessing and hyperparameter settings.Although recent studies have improved neural architectures and optimization techniques,preprocessing is often treated as a fixed or manually designed stage,with limited integration into model optimization.To address this,this paper proposes an integrated,data-driven modelling framework that combines guided preprocessing with systematic hyperparameter optimization for seismic prediction,specifically forecasting earthquake magnitude from seismic catalog time-series data,with experiments conducted on Canadian seismic records.The method uses a Large Language Model to guide data preparation and feature engineering,rather than fully automate them,and applies deep learning-based forecasting with the N-HITS architecture,optimized via metaheuristic-assisted feature selection and hyperparameter tuning.The Football Optimization Algorithm(FbOA),employed as a metaheuristic optimization strategy in this study,is evaluated and compared with several well-known optimizers under identical conditions.The results show significant performance gains,with FbOA achieving superior accuracy,robustness,and convergence compared to baseline and competing methods.Notably,error metrics are reduced(MSE 3.10×10-7,RMSE 5.57×103),with high performance indicators(r=0.982,R2=0.979,NSE=0.981,WI=0.985).These results highlight the value of integrating guided preprocessing with optimization and demonstrate a scalable framework for high-precision time-series prediction in geophysical and related domains.

摘要The Intrusion Detection System(IDS)is a security mechanism developed to observe network traffic and recognize suspicious or malicious activities.Clustering algorithms are often incorporated into IDS;however,conventional clustering-based methods face notable drawbacks,including poor scalability in handling high-dimensional datasets and a strong dependence of outcomes on initial conditions.To overcome the performance limitations of existing methods,this study proposes a novel quantum-inspired clustering algorithm that relies on a similarity coefficient-based quantum genetic algorithm(SC-QGA)and an improved quantum artificial bee colony algorithm hybrid K-means(IQABC-K).First,the SC-QGA algorithmis constructed based on quantum computing and integrates similarity coefficient theory to strengthen genetic diversity and feature extraction capabilities.For the subsequent clustering phase,the process based on the IQABC-K algorithm is enhanced with the core improvement of adaptive rotation gate and movement exploitation strategies to balance the exploration capabilities of global search and the exploitation capabilities of local search.Simultaneously,the acceleration of convergence toward the global optimum and a reduction in computational complexity are facilitated by means of the global optimum bootstrap strategy and a linear population reduction strategy.Through experimental evaluation with multiple algorithms and diverse performance metrics,the proposed algorithm confirms reliable accuracy on three datasets:KDD CUP99,NSL_KDD,and UNSW_NB15,achieving accuracy of 98.57%,98.81%,and 98.32%,respectively.These results affirm its potential as an effective solution for practical clustering applications.

摘要When milling structural components with varying axial depths and widths,cutting forces tend to fluctuate,negatively impacting tool life and machining accuracy.To mitigate the force fluctuations and enhance tool longevity,developing a simple,reliable,and easy-to-implement force control system for milling is essential,which is an important step toward advancing intelligent manufacturing.This paper explores the use of genetic algorithms(GA) for powerful optimization capabilities in developing self-tuning milling force controllers.A comprehensive framework for optimizing a fuzzy logic controller using an enhanced GA is specifically designed for the milling process.The optimization integrates the GA with a simulation model,fine-tuning membership functions and optimizing fuzzy rule selection.The enhanced GA incorporates the Integral of Time-weighted Absolute Error(ITAE) as the fitness criterion to improve the robustness and responsiveness of the controller.The optimized fuzzy logic controller is implemented within a computer numerical control system,adjusting feed rates in real-time to control milling forces.The performance of the proposed controller is validated through step and slope milling tests,demonstrating an average control accuracy of 95.52%.Comparative evaluations with other controllers show that the proposed system offers a significant improvement,achieving up to 4.58% better control accuracy in step milling tests.

摘要Few-for-many(F4M)optimization,recently introduced as a novel paradigm in multi-objective optimization,aims to find a small set of solutions that effectively handle a large number of conflicting objectives.Unlike traditional many-objective optimization methods,which typically attempt comprehensive coverage of the Pareto front,F4M optimization emphasizes finding a small representative solution set to efficiently address highdimensional objective spaces.Motivated by the computational complexity and practical relevance of F4M optimization,this paper proposes a new evolutionary algorithm explicitly tailored for efficiently solving F4M optimization problems.Inspired by Smetric selection evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm(SMS-EMOA),our proposed approach employs a(μ+1)-evolution strategy guided by the objective of F4M optimization.Furthermore,to facilitate rigorous performance assessment,we propose a novel benchmark test suite specifically designed for F4M optimization by leveraging the similarity betw een the R2indicator and F4M formulations.Our test suite is highly flexible,allowing any existing multi-objective optimization problem to be transformed into a corresponding F4M instance via scalarization using the weighted Tchebycheff function.Comprehensive experimental evaluations on benchmarks demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm compared to existing state-of-the-art algorithms,especially on instances involving a large number of objectives.The source code of the proposed algorithm will be released publicly.Source code is available at http://gffzz188fe103f8f1460aswbv9popou0656knb.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/MOL-SZU/SoM-EMOA.

摘要Single-photon avalanche diode(SPAD)image sensors are widely used in direct time-of-flight(D-TOF)imaging,but their ranging performance is often constrained by limited laser power.This article presents a SPAD-based D-TOF imaging system that combines a reconfigurable macro-pixel sensor architecture with a lightweight depth completion algorithm to achieve long-range depth imaging with enhanced spatial resolution under low optical power.The proposed sensor adopts a back-side illuminated(BSI)3D-stacked architecture with programmable macro-pixels that enhance detection sensitivity and enable flexible sensitivity–resolution trade-offs.An injection-locked ring-oscillator-based time-to-digital converter(RO-TDC)array achieves a time resolution of 152.5 ps,enabling accurate TOF measurement at an optical power of 10 mW.To compensate for macropixel-induced resolution loss,a probabilistic normalized convolutional neural network(pNCNN)is employed for depth completion using sparse depth inputs only.Experimental results demonstrate that up to 30×effective resolution enhancement of the system can be achieved via the depth completion algorithm without changing the physical resolution of the sensor.Additionally,the proposed system achieves a maximum ranging distance of 90 m and a range-to-power figure-of-merit(FOM)of9 m/mW,which validates the effectiveness of the system.

摘要Accurate prediction of flood events is important for flood control and risk management.Machine learning techniques contributed greatly to advances in flood predictions,and existing studies mainly focused on predicting flood resource variables using single or hybrid machine learning techniques.However,class-based flood predictions have rarely been investigated,which can aid in quickly diagnosing comprehensive flood characteristics and proposing targeted management strategies.This study proposed a prediction approach of flood regime metrics and event classes coupling machine learning algorithms with clustering-deduced membership degrees.Five algorithms were adopted for this exploration.Results showed that the class membership degrees accurately determined event classes with class hit rates up to 100%,compared with the four classes clustered from nine regime metrics.The nonlinear algorithms(Multiple Linear Regression,Random Forest,and least squares-Support Vector Machine)outperformed the linear techniques(Multiple Linear Regression and Stepwise Regression)in predicting flood regime metrics.The proposed approach well predicted flood event classes with average class hit rates of 66.0%-85.4%and 47.2%-76.0%in calibration and validation periods,respectively,particularly for the slow and late flood events.The predictive capability of the proposed prediction approach for flood regime metrics and classes was considerably stronger than that of hydrological modeling approach.

摘要The Marine Predators Algorithm(MPA),while promising for complex optimization,suffers from limited solution precision,imbalanced exploration–exploitation,and premature convergence.To address these shortcomings,this paper proposes a phased-enhancement variant named PEMPA,which integrates three novel strategies into distinct phases of MPA:1)embedding historical best positions in the high-velocity ratio phase to refine solution quality;2)introducing an adaptive inertia weight based on an inverted Sigmoid function in the unit-velocity ratio phase to systematically balance exploration and exploitation;and 3)designing a two-stage opposition-based learning operator in the low-velocity ratio phase to prevent premature convergence.The performance of PEMPA is comprehensively evaluated across 23 classical benchmark functions,the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation(CEC)2017 test suite,21 feature selection tasks,and a real-world medical insurance fraud detection problem.Experimental results confirm that the proposed strategies significantly enhance the efficiency and robustness of MPA.Furthermore,PEMPA demonstrates highly competitive performance compared with several state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms,validating its effectiveness and scalability for diverse optimization challenges.

摘要Constitutive modeling for geomaterials remains challenging because of limited data availability,strong nonlinearity,pressure sensitivity,and the non-smooth characteristics of commonly used yield surfaces.This study presents a deep-learning-based constitutive method for geomaterials that incorporates a neural stress-integration procedure based on the cutting plane algorithm(CPA).Two compact fully connected networks are trained to learn the yield function and its stress gradient from an augmented stress-state dataset.The trained networks are then incorporated into a cutting plane return-mapping procedure,in which only first-order information is required for the plastic stress return.This avoids explicit analytical yield expressions and second-derivative evaluations and is therefore more naturally compatible with non-smooth Mohr-Coulomb-type yield-surface representations in a first-order returnmapping sense.Numerical results show that the proposed method reproduces the reference Mohr-Coulomb response along the examined monotonic triaxial compression paths.Compared with the finite-difference closest-point projection method(CPPM)implementation considered in this study,the CPA-based neural stress-update procedure requires fewer network calls per update,indicating a more economical implementation for the present learned constitutive framework.

摘要Traditional sampling-based path planning algorithms,such as the rapidly-exploring random tree star(RRT*),encounter critical limitations in unstructured orchard environments,including low sampling efficiency in narrow passages,slow convergence,and high computational costs.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel hybrid global path planning algorithm integrating Gaussian sampling and quadtree optimization(RRT*-GSQ).This methodology aims to enhance path planning by synergistically combining a Gaussian mixture sampling strategy to improve node generation in critical regions,an adaptive step-size and direction optimization mechanism for enhanced obstacle avoidance,a Quadtree-AABB collision detection framework to lower computational complexity,and a dynamic iteration control strategy for more efficient convergence.In obstacle-free and obstructed scenarios,compared with the conventional RRT*,the proposed algorithm reduced the number of node evaluations by 67.57%and 62.72%,and decreased the search time by 79.72%and 78.52%,respectively.In path tracking tests,the proposed algorithm achieved substantial reductions in RMSE of the final path compared to the conventional RRT*.Specifically,the lateral RMSE was reduced by 41.5%in obstacle-free environments and 59.3%in obstructed environments,while the longitudinal RMSE was reduced by 57.2%and 58.5%,respectively.Furthermore,the maximum absolute errors in both lateral and longitudinal directions were constrained within 0.75 m.Field validation experiments in an operational orchard confirmed the algorithm's practical effectiveness,showing reductions in the mean tracking error of 47.6%(obstacle-free)and 58.3%(with obstructed),alongside a 5.1%and 7.2%shortening of the path length compared to the baseline method.The proposed algorithm effectively enhances path planning efficiency and navigation accuracy for robots,presenting a superior solution for high-precision autonomous navigation of agricultural robots in orchard environments and holding significant value for engineering applications.
