The improved YOLOv5 object detection algorithm was used to detect the facial region of the driver and a multi-feature fusion fatigue state detection method was established aiming at the problem that existing fatigue state detection method cannot be applied to drivers under the epidemic prevention and control. The image tag data including the situation of wearing a mask and the situation without wearing a mask were established according to the characteristics of bus driving. The detection accuracy of eyes, mouth and face regions was improved by increasing the feature sampling times of YOLOv5 model. The BiFPN network structure was used to retain multi-scale feature information, which makes the prediction network more sensitive to targets of different sizes and improves the detection ability of the overall model. A parameter compensation mechanism was proposed combined with face keypoint algorithm in order to improve the accuracy of blink and yawn frame number. A variety of fatigue parameters were fused and normalized to conduct fatigue classification. The results of the public dataset NTHU and the self-made dataset show that the proposed method can recognize the blink and yawn of drivers both with and without masks, and can accurately judge the fatigue state of drivers.

Yu-xiang WANG,Zhi-wei ZHONG,Peng-cheng XIA,Yi-xiang HUANG,Cheng-liang LIU
Journal of ZheJiang University (Engineering Science)    2023, 57 (5): 855-864.   DOI: 10.3785/j.issn.1008-973X.2023.05.001
Abstract   HTML PDF (2584KB) ( 835 )  

Most of the compound fault diagnosis methods regard the compound fault as a new single fault type, ignoring the interaction of internal single faults, and the fault analysis is vague in granularity and poor in interpretation. An improved Transformer-based compound fault decoupling diagnosis method was proposed for industrial environments with very little compound fault data. The diagnosis process included pre-processing, feature extraction and fault decoupling. With introducing the decoder of the Transformer, the cross-attention mechanism enables each single fault label to adaptively in the extracted feature layer focus on the discriminative feature region corresponding to the fault feature and predicts the output probability to achieve compound fault decoupling. Compound fault tests were designed to verify the effectiveness of the method compared with the advanced algorithms. The results showed that the proposed method had high diagnostic accuracy with a small number of single fault training samples and a very small number of compound fault training samples. The compound fault diagnosis accuracy reached 88.29% when the training set contained only 5 compound fault samples. Thus the new method has a significant advantage over other methods.

Abstract   HTML PDF (1371KB) ( 698 )  

Physical information was divided into rule information and numerical information, in order to explore the role of physical information in training neural network when solving differential equations with physics-informed neural network (PINN). The logic of PINN for solving differential equations was explained, as well as the data-driven approach of physical information and neural network interpretability. Synthetic loss function of neural network was designed based on the two types of information, and the training balance degree was established from the aspects of training sampling and training intensity. The experiment of solving the Burgers-Fisher equation by PINN showed that PINN can obtain good solution accuracy and stability. In the training of neural networks for solving the equation, numerical information of the Burgers-Fisher equation can better promote neural network to approximate the equation solution than rule information. The training effect of neural network was improved with the increase of training sampling, training epoch, and the balance between the two types of information. In addition, the solving accuracy of the equation was improved with the increasing of the scale of neural network, but the training time of each epoch was also increased. In a fixed training time, it is not true that the larger scale of the neural network, the better the effect.

The experimental results showed that the transmission hierarchy required for broadcasting transaction messages throughout the network was reduced by 15.0% to 30.8% and the rate of locating nodes was increased. The level of network structure was reduced and network security was enhanced compared to other optimization algorithms that modify the network structure.

Abstract   HTML PDF (1380KB) ( 654 )  

A multi-behavior aware service recommendation method based on hypergraph graph convolutional neural network (MBSRHGNN) was proposed to resolve the problem of insufficient high-order service feature extraction in existing service recommendation methods. A multi-hypergraph was constructed according to user-service interaction types and service mashups. A dual-channel hypergraph convolutional network was designed based on the spectral decomposition theory with functional and structural properties of multi-hypergraph. Chebyshev polynomial was used to approximate hypergraph convolution kernel to reduce computational complexity. Self-attention mechanism and multi-behavior recommendation methods were combined to measure the importance difference between multi-behavior interactions during the hypergraph convolution process. A hypergraph pooling method named HG-DiffPool was proposed to reduce the feature dimensionality. The probability distribution for recommending different services was learned by integrating service embedding vector and hypergraph signals. Real service data was obtained by the crawler and used to construct datasets with different sparsity for experiments. Experimental results showed that the MBSRHGNN method could adapt to recommendation scenario with highly sparse data, and was superior to the existing baseline methods in accuracy and relevance.

The TransSRNet was evaluated on highly-structured CelebA, Helen, TCGA-ESCA and TCGA-COAD datasets. Results of evaluation showed that the TransSRNet model had a better overall performance compared with the super-resolution algorithms. With a upscale factor of 8, the PSNR of the face dataset and the medical image dataset could reach 28.726 and 26.392 dB respectively, and the SSIM could reach 0.844 and 0.881 respectively.

Abstract   HTML PDF (707KB) ( 584 )  

A super-efficient SBM model including non-desired outputs was used to measure industrial environmental efficiency in 30 Chinese provinces from 2008 to 2020 in order to solve the problem of how industrial enterprises can pick appropriate green technology innovations to accomplish industrial green transformation under the background of strict environmental regulations. The efficiency was used to characterize the level of industrial green transformation. A panel threshold model was used to explore the mechanism of the impact of different green technology innovations on industrial green transformation under different environmental regulation intensities. Results show that China's industrial environmental efficiency fluctuates and rises from 2008 to 2020 as a whole, and the efficiency gap between regions shows a slightly decreasing trend. The environmental impacts of various green technology innovations significantly differ, among which process-oriented green technology innovations emphasizing on processes and products is the key to achieving industrial green transformation. The positive environmental effect of process-oriented green technology innovation increases, while the negative environmental effect of result-oriented green technology innovation decreases as environmental regulations become more stringent.

Abstract   HTML PDF (1068KB) ( 574 )  

A method for creating binocular dataset and a 6D pose estimation network called Binocular-RNN were proposed, in response to the problem of low accuracy in the current task of 6D pose estimation for objects. The existing images in the YCB-Video Dataset were used as the content captured by the left camera of the binocular system. The corresponding 3D object models in the YCB-Video Dataset were imported using Open GL, and the parameters related to each object were input to generate synthetic images captured by the virtual right camera of the binocular system. A monocular prediction network was utilized in the Binocular-RNN to extract geometric features from the left and right images in the binocular dataset, and recurrent neural network was used to fuse these geometric features and predict the 6D pose of the objects. The evaluation of Binocular-RNN and other pose estimation methods was based on the average distance of model points (ADD), average nearest point distance (ADDS), translation error and angle error. The results show that when the network was trained on a single object, the ADD or ADDS score of Binocular-RNN was 2.66 times that of PoseCNN and 1.15 times that of GDR-Net. Furthermore, the Binocular-RNN trained by the physics-based real-time rendering (Real+PBR) outperformed the DeepIM method based on deep neural network iterative 6D pose matching.

Chi FENG,Zhenyu MEI
Journal of ZheJiang University (Engineering Science)    2024, 58 (1): 87-95.   DOI: 10.3785/j.issn.1008-973X.2024.01.010
Abstract   HTML PDF (1491KB) ( 478 )  

A parking charge strategy based on dispatching autonomous vehicles was proposed in order to improve the efficiency of the parking system that accommodates both human-driven vehicles and autonomous vehicles. This strategy provides autonomous vehicles dispatch service to the human-driven vehicle when there is no available parking space in the parking lot but there are autonomous vehicles. The parking system will dispatch a number of autonomous vehicles among multiple parking lots to create an available parking space for the human-driven vehicle in its target parking lot after charging a certain dispatch fee of the human-driven vehicle’s user. Since each parking lot’s dispatch fee can affect the human-driven vehicle users’ parking choices, and thus affect the operation efficiency of the parking system. An agent-based parking simulation model was constructed, and differentiated dispatch fee of every parking lot was set by the genetic algorithm. The simulation results show that the differentiated parking charge strategy based on dispatching the autonomous vehicles can significantly reduce the driving time, walking time, total travel time and mileage of the human-driven vehicle users, increase the revenue of the parking system, reduce the social cost and effectively alleviate the parking problem.
