An Improved Traffic Matrix Decomposition Method with Frequency-Domain Regularization
We propose a novel network traffic matrix decomposition method named Stable
Principal Component Pursuit with Frequency-Domain Regularization (SPCP-FDR),
which improves the Stable Principal Component Pursuit (SPCP) method by using a
frequency-domain noise regularization function. An experiment demonstrates the
feasibility of this new decomposition method.Comment: Accepted to IEICE Transactions on Information and System
Pitting damage levels estimation for planetary gear sets based on model simulation and grey relational analysis
The planetary gearbox is a critical mechanism in helicopter transmission systems. Tooth failures in planetary gear sets will cause great risk to helicopter operations. A gear pitting damage level estimation methodology has been devised in this paper by integrating a physical model for simulation signal generation, a three-step statistic algorithm for feature selection and damage level estimation for grey relational analysis. The proposed method was calibrated firstly with fault seeded test data and then validated with the data of other tests from a planetary gear set. The estimation results of test data coincide with the actual test records, showing the effectiveness and accuracy of the method in providing a novel way to model based methods and feature selection and weighting methods for more accurate health monitoring and condition prediction
3D Object Detection Using Scale Invariant and Feature Reweighting Networks
3D object detection plays an important role in a large number of real-world
applications. It requires us to estimate the localizations and the orientations
of 3D objects in real scenes. In this paper, we present a new network
architecture which focuses on utilizing the front view images and frustum point
clouds to generate 3D detection results. On the one hand, a PointSIFT module is
utilized to improve the performance of 3D segmentation. It can capture the
information from different orientations in space and the robustness to
different scale shapes. On the other hand, our network obtains the useful
features and suppresses the features with less information by a SENet module.
This module reweights channel features and estimates the 3D bounding boxes more
effectively. Our method is evaluated on both KITTI dataset for outdoor scenes
and SUN-RGBD dataset for indoor scenes. The experimental results illustrate
that our method achieves better performance than the state-of-the-art methods
especially when point clouds are highly sparse.Comment: The Thirty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-19
Manipulating Highly Deformable Materials Using a Visual Feedback Dictionary
The complex physical properties of highly deformable materials such as
clothes pose significant challenges fanipulation systems. We present a novel
visual feedback dictionary-based method for manipulating defoor autonomous
robotic mrmable objects towards a desired configuration. Our approach is based
on visual servoing and we use an efficient technique to extract key features
from the RGB sensor stream in the form of a histogram of deformable model
features. These histogram features serve as high-level representations of the
state of the deformable material. Next, we collect manipulation data and use a
visual feedback dictionary that maps the velocity in the high-dimensional
feature space to the velocity of the robotic end-effectors for manipulation. We
have evaluated our approach on a set of complex manipulation tasks and
human-robot manipulation tasks on different cloth pieces with varying material
characteristics.Comment: The video is available at goo.gl/mDSC4
