Event-Triggered Approximate Optimal Path-Following Control for Unmanned Surface Vehicles With State Constraints

Weixiang Zhou, Jun Fu, Huaicheng Yan, Xin Du, Yueying Wang, Hua Zhou

Summary: This article investigates the problem of path following for underactuated unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) subject to state constraints. A control algorithm is proposed that combines the backstepping technique, adaptive dynamic programming (ADP), and the event-triggered mechanism. The algorithm consists of three modules: guidance law, dynamic controller, and event triggering. By introducing the guidance-based path-following (GBPF) principle and using a critic neural network (NN) to approximate the cost function, the proposed approach can handle the "singularity" problem and guarantee approximate optimal performance. The simulation results and experimental validation demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Graph Information Aggregation Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Yuxiang Zhang, Wei Li, Mengmeng Zhang, Shuai Wang, Ran Tao, Qian Du

Summary: This study proposes a new domain adaptation method that combines few-shot learning with domain alignment based on graph information aggregation to address the issue of reduced classification performance in the presence of new classes in target data. By training on source data with all label samples and target data with a few label samples, two key blocks are designed to extract and compare features and distributions across different domains, and cross-domain graph alignment methods are used to mitigate the impact of domain shift on few-shot learning. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

Object detection using YOLO: challenges, architectural successors, datasets and applications

Tausif Diwan, G. Anirudh, Jitendra Tembhurne

Summary: Object detection is a significant problem in computer vision, and deep learning has greatly improved its performance. Object detectors can be categorized into two stage and single stage detectors, with two stage detectors typically achieving higher accuracy and single stage detectors having faster inference time. YOLO, a widely adopted single stage object detection algorithm, has the advantage of faster inference speed. This paper provides a comprehensive review of single stage object detectors, particularly YOLO, and compares them with two stage detectors. It also summarizes different versions of YOLO and their applications, as well as future research directions.
