Forward geometric model prediction of a 6-RSU parallel manipulator using a modified NARX Bayesian neural network by Alaa Aldeen Joumah, Assef Jafar, Chadi Albitar

“…While recent studies have successfully employed machine learning to predict the Forward Geometric Model (FGM) of a 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) parallel manipulator, traditional methods lack predictive uncertainty estimation.In this study, we propose a novel approach to enhance FGM prediction for a 6-RSU (Revolute-Spherical-Universal) parallel manipulator using a modified NARX-BNN (Nonlinear Autoregressive with Exogenous Inputs - Bayesian Neural Network).The proposed NARX-BNN model benefits from a synergistic combination of the BNN structure's powerful universal approximation feature and uncertainty estimation, and the nonlinear ARX model's strong predictive capability.The simulation and experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed NARX-BNN model over traditional Bayesian shallow neural network employing the Variational inference method for this problem. …”

Improved self-calibration image enhancement algorithm based on attention mechanism and its application in maritime low-light images by Li SU, Shihao CUI

“…ObjectiveIn order to solve the problems of the insufficient brightness enhancement, low sharpness, and color distortion of existing maritime low-light image enhancement algorithms, this paper proposes an algorithm based on improved self-calibrated illumination (SCI) learning. MethodAn attention mechanism is introduced to enhance the unevenly illuminated regions in low-light images to different degrees; an illumination adjustment module is constructed to secondary the intermediate outputs of the illumination learning process; a denoising module is introduced to ameliorate the problem of noise in dark regions being amplified with the enhancement of the brightness; and batch normalization (BN) is changed to batch channel normalization (BCN), which utilizes channel and batch dimensions to adaptively combine the normalized outputs. …”
