Parallel offshore oil/gas field:ACP-based front end engineering design and evaluation by Li WEI, Hong WANG, Min HUANG, Qun WEI, Qinghai MIAO

“…Front end engineering design (FEED) and its related evaluation plays an important role in the life cycle of offshore oil/gas field development.A digitalized way of FEED based on ACP architecture was provided by the proposed parallel offshore oil/gas field system.Firstly,based on several developed oil/gas fields located in South China Sea,a virtual oil/gas field using building information modeling (BIM) was constructed.Secondly,the case-based reasoning (CBR) to evaluate the FEED based on both BIM and successful cases was introduced.The methods of real-virtual interactions were also enhanced by the introduction of CBR into ACP architecture.The parallel platform has been used to visually design and evaluate oil/gas field FEED,which improves the efficiency and accuracy of users.…”

Research on power efficient autonomous UAV navigation algorithm: an edge intelligence driven approach by Chunmin LIN, Liekang ZENG, Xu CHEN

“…Autonomous drone navigation has received growing attention in the recent community.Compared with traditional navigation approaches which rely on location-based services highly, deep learning based visual methods have showed superior performance in self-adaption and generalization, which are a promising solution for autonomous navigation.Running the resource-hungry deep learning execution in the resource-constrained unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), however, significant challenges were presented in power efficiency.To tackle this challenge, following the idea of edge intelligence, a deep reinforcement learning approach was introduced to dynamically configure the computational scale of the deep learning model on UAV and hence realize the autonomous navigation with low latency and high energy efficiency.Evaluations based on both simulation and real prototype experiments show that the proposed approach has the less energy consumption, longer navigation trail and higher obstacle avoidance rate.…”
