Abstract To address the issue of insufficient accuracy in attitude estimation using Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), this paper proposes a multi-sensor fusion attitude estimation method based on an improved Error-State Kalman Filter (ESKF). Several adaptive mechanisms are introduced within the standard ESKF framework: first, the process noise covariance is dynamically adjusted based on gyroscope angular velocity to enhance the algorithm’s adaptability under both static and dynamic conditions; second, the Sage-Husa algorithm is employed to estimate the measurement noise covariance of the accelerometer and magnetometer in real-time, mitigating disturbances caused by external accelerations and magnetic fields. Additionally,… More >

Abstract Ensuring that autonomous vehicles maintain high precision and rapid response capabilities in complex and dynamic driving environments is a critical challenge in the field of autonomous driving. This study aims to enhance the learning efficiency of multi-sensor feature fusion in autonomous driving tasks, thereby improving the safety and responsiveness of the system. To achieve this goal, we propose an innovative multi-sensor feature fusion model that integrates three distinct modalities: visual, radar, and lidar data. The model optimizes the feature fusion process through the introduction of two novel mechanisms: Sparse Channel Pooling (SCP) and Residual Triplet-Attention… More >

Abstract In the broader field of mechanical technology, and particularly in the context of self-driving vehicles, cameras and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors provide complementary modalities that hold significant potential for sensor fusion. However, directly merging multi-sensor data through point projection often results in information loss due to quantization, and managing the differing data formats from multiple sensors remains a persistent challenge. To address these issues, we propose a new fusion method that leverages continuous convolution, point-pooling, and a learned Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to achieve superior detection performance. Our approach integrates the segmentation mask with… More >

Abstract Railway switch machine is essential for maintaining the safety and punctuality of train operations. A data-driven fault diagnosis scheme for railway switch machine using tensor machine and multi-representation monitoring data is developed herein. Unlike existing methods, this approach takes into account the spatial information of the time series monitoring data, aligning with the domain expertise of on-site manual monitoring. Besides, a multi-sensor fusion tensor machine is designed to improve single signal data’s limitations in insufficient information. First, one-dimensional signal data is preprocessed and transformed into two-dimensional images. Afterward, the fusion feature tensor is created by More >

Abstract To enhance the predictive condition-based maintenance (CBMS), a reliable automatic Drivetrain fault detection technique based on vibration monitoring is proposed. Accelerometer sensors are mounted on a wind turbine drivetrain at different spatial locations to measure the vibration from multiple vibration sources. In this work, multi-channel signals are fused and monocomponent modes of oscillation are reconstructed by the Multivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEMD) Technique. Noise assisted methodology is adapted to palliate the mixing of modes with common frequency scales. The instantaneous amplitude envelope and instantaneous frequency are estimated with the Hilbert transform. Low order and high More >

Abstract Recently, sparse representation classification (SRC) and fisher discrimination dictionary learning (FDDL) methods have emerged as important methods for vehicle classification. In this paper, inspired by recent breakthroughs of discrimination dictionary learning approach and multi-task joint covariate selection, we focus on the problem of vehicle classification in real-world applications by formulating it as a multi-task joint sparse representation model based on fisher discrimination dictionary learning to merge the strength of multiple features among multiple sensors. To improve the classification accuracy in complex scenes, we develop a new method, called multi-task joint sparse representation classification based on More >
