Optimized YOLOv8 framework for intelligent rockfall detection on mountain roads by Peng Peng, Langchao Gao, Jiachun Li, Hongzhen Zhang

“…To enable efficient detection, this study proposes a rockfall detection system based on embedded technology and an improved Yolov8 algorithm, termed Yolov8-GCB. The algorithm enhances detection performance through the following optimizations: (1) integrating a lightweight DeepLabv3+ road segmentation module at the input stage to generate mask images, which effectively exclude non-road regions from interference; (2) replacing Conv convolution units in the backbone network with Ghost convolution units, significantly reducing model parameters and computational cost while improving inference speed; (3) introducing the CPCA (Channel Priori Convolution Attention) mechanism to strengthen the feature extraction capability for targets with diverse shapes; and (4) incorporating skip connections and weighted fusion in the Neck feature extraction network to enhance multi-scale object detection. …”

Resource allocation strategy based on optimal matching auction in the enterprise network by Xin CONG, Lingling ZI, Xueli SHEN

“…To address the issue that the owners of computer are selfish in the enterprise networks,which caused the low available number of resource nodes and low efficiency of resource allocation,an optimized matching resource allocation strategy OMRA was proposed and its core was the auction mechanism.Selfishness was restrained and the number of available resources was increased by OMRA,so as the operating efficiency of the whole auction market was improved.First,the initial prices were determined by normalizing the costs of different type of resources on the beginning of auction.Secondly,an optimal matching auction algorithm was designed to maximize the interests of the auction markets.Then,service perfecting algorithm was performed such that the sellers could get more services at the current transaction value,thus ensuring the benefits of resource providers.At last,a request price updating algorithm was adopted to assurance that both sellers and buyers could get priorities in the next auction processing.Compared with the cloud resource allocating algorithm via fitness-enabled auction (CRAA/FA),the experiment results indicate that the efficiency of resource allocation improves by 10% and the benefits of market increase by 11.4%.…”

RIS-assisted terahertz frequency band vehicle network capacity optimization by Fatang CHEN, Xiaoling LIU, Dan WANG, Ruofan ZHANG

“…In order to alleviate the spectrum scarcity and capacity limitation of the current wireless system, the terahertz frequency band was introduced and the reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) was used for auxiliary communication to construct a downlink vehicle network.Considering the constraints of limited total system power, QoS constraints of cellular mobile users, and randomness constraints of vehicle and user locations, a hybrid optimization model was established for optimal power allocation and optimal deployment of RIS with the aim of maximizing the total rate of vehicle users.Based on the balance method, linear transformation method, and element elimination method, the original NP-hard problem was transformed into a convex optimization problem with complex correlation constraints and multivariate coupling.The inner layer iteration was based on the Lagrange multiplier method to solve the optimal power allocation, and the outer layer iteratively solved the optimal deployment of RIS based on a improved genetic algorithm.The simulation results show that rationally deploying the number and distribution density of RIS nodes based on optimal power allocation can save costs while achieving a higher target total capacity.…”
