A UWB NLOS identification method under pedestrian occlusion by Tong WU, Yeshen LI, Zhenhuang HUANG, Yu ZHANG, Wanle ZHANG, Ke XIONG

“…Ultrawideband (UWB) is a hot technology for indoor positioning with large bandwidth, strong anti-interference ability, and high multipath resolution capacity.However, due to the complex indoor environment, UWB signal propagation will inevitably be blocked, resulting in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, which greatly reduces the accuracy of UWB positioning.Therefore, identifying NLOS signals accurately and discarding or correcting them are important to alleviate the problem of the decline in positioning accuracy.The majority of present NLOS identification work focuses on scenes with building structures such as walls.Further discussion is needed for scenes obscured by pedestrians.Since the impact of human obstacles on the signals is more complex and cannot be ignored, the NLOS identification under pedestrian occlusion was studied.By comparing a variety of machine learning methods and signal feature combinations, the random forest method based on the three-dimensional features of the first path signal power, the received signal power, and the measured distance was proposed.These features with fewer dimensions and easy extraction were used to achieve a high identification percentage for NLOS.The experimental results based on the measured data of different devices show that the NLOS identification accuracy based on the proposed method reaches 99.05%, 99.32% and 98.81% respectively.…”

La prison de Guingamp, de l’ombre à la lumière by Emmanuel Laot

“…The prison was built by the Côtes-du-Nord department and opened in 1841 thanks to Charles Lucas, general inspector of prisons, Louis Lorin, departmental architect and Alexis de Tocqueville, the great French historian, thinker and publicist. We owe them this humanist architectural design of the idea that a prison is not simply a place of confinement. …”

A method for evaluating the accessibility of underground auxiliary transportation vehicles in coal mines based on multi feature fusion by Fan JIANG, Yifan LIU, Zhencai ZHU, Chaofan ZHANG, Gongbo ZHOU, Yuxing PENG

“…Progressive probability Hough transform and Catmull Rom spline curve with improved feature point selection are used to fit the straight track and curved track separately, forming a railway track detection method based on a switchable model; Secondly, based on the color attributes of coal mine underground tunnel wall pipelines, a pipeline feature detection strategy is constructed through HSV color space transformation, edge detection, and least squares fitting algorithms; Once again, a weighted fusion method based on pipeline and rail feature points is proposed to extract the centerline trajectory of auxiliary transportation vehicles, and to construct rules for generating safe passage areas for auxiliary transportation vehicles; Then, for the over-segmentation problem in the traditional watershed algorithm, two-dimensional edge and area feature extraction of static obstacles is carried out by using improved watershed segmentation based on markers and GraphCut algorithm, and a small-sample classification support vector mechanism is selected to build a pedestrian detection model based on the fusion of HOG (Histograms of Oriented Gradients)features and LBP(Local Binary Pattern) features for underground coal mine, so as to realize the comprehensive detection of dynamic and static obstacles in front of auxiliary transportation vehicles; Finally, the positional relationship between obstacles and safe passage area is judged by Euclidean distance to determine the obstacle invasion, and the results of auxiliary transportation vehicle passability assessment are obtained. …”
