Infrared ship target detection is crucial technology in marine scenarios. Ship targets vary in scale throughout navigation because the distance between the ship and the infrared camera is constantly changing. Furthermore, complex backgrounds, such as...

This paper proposes a novel design of shielded two-turn near-field probe with focus on high sensitivity and high electric field suppression. A comparison of different two-turn loop topologies and their influence on the probe sensitivity in the freque...

Photographs taken under harsh ambient lighting can suffer from a number of image quality degradation phenomena due to insufficient exposure. These include reduced brightness, loss of transfer information, noise, and color distortion. In order to solv...

Bone drilling is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery and is frequently attempted using robot-assisted techniques. However, drilling on rigid, slippery, and steep cortical surfaces, which are frequently encountered in robot-assisted operations du...

Unmanned vehicles frequently encounter the challenge of navigating through complex mountainous terrains, which are characterized by numerous unknown continuous curves. Drones, with their wide field of view and ability to vertically displace, offer a...

Aging of the population and the declining birthrate in Japan have produced severe human resource shortages in the medical and long-term care industries. Reportedly, falls account for more than 50% of all accidents in nursing homes. Recently, various...

Autonomous robots heavily rely on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques and sensor data to create accurate maps of their surroundings. When multiple robots are employed to expedite exploration, the resulting maps often have varying...

Federated learning has attracted much attention in fault diagnosis since it can effectively protect data privacy. However, efficient fault diagnosis performance relies on the uninterrupted training of model parameters with massive amounts of perfect...

Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a novel technique for computing microimaging that allows imaging of samples such as pathology sections. However, due to the influence of systematic errors and noise, the quality of reconstructed images using...

The accurate identification of highly similar sheet metal parts remains a challenging issue in sheet metal production. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an effective mean square differences (EMSD) algorithm that can effectively distinguish h...
