Object detection performed by Autonomous Vehicles (AV)s is a crucial operation that comes ahead of various autonomous driving tasks, such as object tracking, trajectories estimation, and collision avoidance. Dynamic road elements (pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles) impose a greater challenge due to their continuously changing location and behaviour. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art object detection technologies focusing on both the sensory systems and algorithms used. It begins with a brief introduction on the autonomous driving operations and challenges. Then, different sensory systems employed on existing AVs are elaborated while illustrating their advantages, limitations and applications. Also, sensory systems employed by different research are reviewed. Moreover, due to the significant role Deep Neural Networks (DNN)s are playing in object detection tasks, different DNN-based networks are also highlighted. Afterwards, previous research on dynamic objects detection performed by AVs are reviewed in tabular forms. Finally, a conclusion summarizes the outcomes of the review and suggests future work towards the development of vehicles with higher automation levels. 相似文献
A Quantitative Critical Thinking (QCT) software tool was developed in this study to facilitate students’ learning of quantitative critical thinking via repeated practice by chemical engineering students reading a core module called fluid-solid systems. The software tool generated detailed calculation steps to typical engineering design problems encountered in this module that contained weaknesses, flaws or even errors. Students utilized the software tool to practice identifying these weaknesses, flaws or errors in the design solutions and then present a better or correct design by applying the concepts and knowledge acquired in the module. Since the QCT software tool was built upon an existing design software tool that was able to generate the correct, detailed design calculation steps to design problems, students were able to check their own design calculations against those presented by the software tool during this second learning step, thereby engaging in and learning quantitative critical thinking via a repeated practice approach. The software tool was successful in enhancing the performance of second-year undergraduate students in solving a question that required quantitative critical thinking in the final examination of the module. The average percentage scores achieved by students for the question who reported higher frequencies of usage of the software were generally higher than those who reported lower frequencies of usage or did not utilize the software tool throughout the semester. 相似文献
To investigate the nonstoichiometric effect of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT) ceramics on their properties, we propose a novel chemical expression, (Bi0.5+xNa0.5−3x)TiO3. The nonstoichiometric effect of BNT can be explored in compounds with this composition without being hampered by the charge imbalance problem. With x ranging from −0.02 to 0.02, we find that the morphological, dielectric, ferroelectric, and electrostrain properties differ considerably between Na-rich and Bi-rich ceramic samples. The average grain size (AGS) increased significantly in Na-rich samples compared to that in stoichiometric BNT, while it decreased slightly in Bi-rich samples. The dielectric characteristics measured from 30 °C to 500 °C indicate that conductivity is activated in Na-rich nonstoichiometric samples but is effectively suppressed in Bi-rich nonstoichiometric samples. The ferroelectric properties also show the same trend. In Na-rich samples, elliptical polarization against electric field (P-E) hysteresis loops were detected, indicating a conductive character induced by high electric field loading. However, saturated P-E loops are observed in Bi-rich samples with well-inhibited conductivity. Furthermore, compared to stoichiometric BNT and nonstoichiometric x = 0.02 Bi-rich samples, (Bi0.5+xNa0.5−3x)TiO3 samples with x = 0.01 exhibit higher electrostrain from 30 °C to 150 °C. Based on the assumption of charge balance, our findings indicated that the presence of 1 mol% excess Bi would facilitate significant improvement in the dielectric, ferroelectric, and electrostrain properties of BNT and BNT-based systems. 相似文献
Sampling or task jitter affects the performance of digital control systems but realistic simulation of this effect has not been possible to date. Our previous work has developed a novel method to simulate sampling jitter in MATLAB/Simulink simulation software where the jitter is generated randomly. What has been missing is a way to capture sampling jitter from a target platform and then feed this timing information into the simulation. This paper presents a low-cost and novel solution to these problems. The method uses an Arduino board to capture task jitter from two different hardware platforms with multiple stressing conditions. Then the recorded performance data is used to drive realistic simulations of a control system. Measurement shows that the task jitter data does not follow any specific random distribution such as Gaussian or Uniform. Furthermore, very occasional timing patterns, which may not be picked up while testing a real system, can result in extreme controller responses. This novel method allows comparisons of different platforms and reduces the effort required to choose the most appropriate platform for full implementation.
While the challenges associated with the stability of metal halide perovskites are well known and intensely studied, variability in electronic properties represents an equally significant, yet seldom studied, challenge that could potentially slow or inhibit the commercial viability of these systems. In this work, the contactless characterization technique time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) is used to quantify the variability in electronic properties of the prototypical perovskite, methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) both between different samples, and at different locations within the same sample. Using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a quasi-automated image-analysis strategy, it is possible to evaluate the metrics of heterogeneity in surface microstructure and correlate them with the electronic properties as obtained by TRMC. Substantial intra-sample and inter-sample variation is observed in the mobility-yield product in samples prepared following differing protocols, and in samples prepared following identical protocols. 相似文献
Built-in applications built on a stand-alone device, TCP / IP network and interconnected are a need for high integration with other systems. The system provided through Web services interconnects service-oriented distributed architecture. The TCP / IP network is widely employed to integrate business applications. This integration is still not provided through the embedded application. The applications connected to the Internet are an especially difficult problem in embedded systems to interpret the sensor data. Real-time sensor function generates a training/classification result for IoT application selected, customized, or data structure design.
