Adaptive Diagnosis for Fault Tolerant Data Fusion Based on α-Rényi Divergence Strategy for Vehicle Localization

When applying a diagnostic technique to complex systems, whose dynamics, constraints, and environment evolve over time, being able to re-evaluate the residuals that are capable of detecting defaults and proposing the most appropriate ones can quickly prove to make sense. For this purpose, the concept of adaptive diagnosis is introduced. In this work, the contributions of information theory are investigated in order to propose a Fault-Tolerant multi-sensor data fusion framework. This work is part of studies proposing an architecture combining a stochastic filter for state estimation with a diagnostic layer with the aim of proposing a safe and accurate state estimation from potentially inconsistent or erroneous sensors measurements. From the design of the residuals, using α-Rényi Divergence (α-RD), to the optimization of the decision threshold, through the establishment of a function that is dedicated to the choice of α at each moment, we detail each step of the proposed automated decision-support framework. We also dwell on: (1) the consequences of the degree of freedom provided by this α parameter and on (2) the application-dictated policy to design the α tuning function playing on the overall performance of the system (detection rate, false alarms, and missed detection rates). Finally, we present a real application case on which this framework has been tested. The problem of multi-sensor localization, integrating sensors whose operating range is variable according to the environment crossed, is a case study to illustrate the contributions of such an approach and show the performance.     

曲波域统计量自适应阈值探地雷达数据去噪技术

非线性、非平稳探地雷达数据常掺杂各种复杂噪声源,其对精确提取弱反射波信号、识别绕射波双曲线同相轴特征具有严重影响,忽略噪声影响给探地雷达探测数据全波形偏移成像及后续解译造成较大误差.采用传统阈值函数的曲波变换去噪需要根据数据噪声水平人为确定合理阈值控制系数.对此,本文开展自适应阈值函数的曲波变换去噪算法研究.引入块状复数域阈值函数算法,分析传统阈值函数曲波变换去噪的效果随阈值控制系数变化的规律;利用高阶统计量理论,对曲波变换系数在尺度、方向上进行相关性叠加,通过相关性统计量自适应确定有效信号在曲波变换系数分布尺度、旋转方向,由此确定清除噪声成分阈值范围,构建统计量自适应阈值函数曲波变换去噪算法.针对包含随机噪声、相关噪声合成探地雷达数据及实测探地雷达数据,采用传统阈值函数曲波变换去噪与本文提出去噪算法处理结果对比分析,检验了本文算法的有效性及可行性.研究成果对复杂探地雷达数据精确推断解译具有指导意义.     

Restricted thresholding: recovering smoothness and preserving edges

Restricted non linear approximation is a generalization of the N‐term approximation in which a measure on the index set of the approximants controls the type, instead of the number, of elements in the approximation. Thresholding is a well‐known type of non linear approximation. We relate a generalized upper and lower Temlyakov property with the decreasing rate of the thresholding approximation. This relation is in the form of a characterization through some general discrete Lorentz spaces. Thus, not only we recover some results in the literature but find new ones. As an application of these results, we compress and reduce noise of some images with wavelets and shearlets and show, at least empirically, that the L²‐norm is not necessarily the best norm to measure the approximation error.     

Context dependent graph-based method for laser cladding image thresholding

For segmentation method to be useful it must be fast, easy to use, and produce high quality segmentations, but few algorithms can offer this in various conditions and applications. In this paper, we propose a context dependent graph-based method for transition region extraction and thresholding. The graph-based approach is introduced into image thresholding, and context dependent graph is constructed from a given image, which can adaptively extract the pixel context and shape information because of the scalable neighborhood. Then an edge weight function is defined as the measure of possible transition pixels, and a robust fully automatic scheme for the optimal threshold is also presented. The proposed approach is validated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Compared with the traditional state-of-art algorithms on synthetic and real images, as well as laser cladding images, the experimental results suggest that the new proposal is efficient and effective.

Optimized quantum singular value thresholding algorithm based on a hybrid quantum computer

Quantum singular value thresholding (QSVT) algorithm, as a core module of many mathematical models, seeks the singular values of a sparse and low rank matrix exceeding a threshold and their associated singular vectors. The existing all-qubit QSVT algorithm demands lots of ancillary qubits, remaining a huge challenge for realization on nearterm intermediate-scale quantum computers. In this paper, we propose a hybrid QSVT (HQSVT) algorithm utilizing both discrete variables (DVs) and continuous variables (CVs). In our algorithm, raw data vectors are encoded into a qubit system and the following data processing is fulfilled by hybrid quantum operations. Our algorithm requires O[log(MN)] qubits with O(1) qumodes and totally performs O(1) operations, which significantly reduces the space and runtime consumption.     

二维直方图θ划分最大Shannon熵图像阈值分割

鉴于常用二维直方图区域直分法存在错分,最近提出的斜分法不具普遍性,提出了适用面更广的基于二维直方图θ划分和最大Shannon熵的图像阈值分割算法.首先给出了二维直方图θ划分方法,采用四条平行斜线及一条其法线与灰度级轴成θ角的直线划分二维直方图区域,按灰度级和邻域平均灰度级的加权和进行阈值分割,斜分法可视为该方法中θ=45°的特例;然后导出了二维直方图θ-划分最大Shannon熵阈值选取公式及其快速递推算法;最后给出了θ取不同值时的分割结果及运行时间,θ取较小值时,边界形状准确性较高,θ取较大值时,抗噪性较强,应用时可根据实际图像特点及需求合理选取θ的值.与常规二维直方图直分最大Shannon熵法相比,本文提出的方法所得分割结果更为准确,抵抗噪声更为稳健,且所需运行时间及存储空间也大为减小.
