Robust Adaptive Multiple Backtracking VBKF for In-Motion Alignment of Low-Cost SINS/GNSS by Weiwei Lyu, Yingli Wang, Shuanggen Jin, Haocai Huang, Xiaojuan Tian, Jinling Wang

“…To address the issue that low-cost SINS/GNSS cannot effectively achieve rapid and high-accuracy alignment in complex environments that contain noise and external interference, an adaptive multiple backtracking robust alignment method is proposed. The sliding window that constructs observation and reference vectors is established, which effectively avoids the accumulation of sensor errors during the full integration process. …”

A Multi-Source Circular Geodesic Voting Model for Image Segmentation by Shuwang Zhou, Minglei Shu, Chong Di

“…While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved notable success by learning representative features from large datasets, they often lack geometric priors and global object information, limiting their accuracy in complex scenarios. Variational methods like active contours provide geometric priors and theoretical interpretability but require manual initialization and are sensitive to hyper-parameters. …”
