Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 7129: End-Cloud Collaboration Navigation Planning Method for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Used in Small Areas
long He Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) collaboration has become the main means of indoor and outdoor regional search, railway patrol, and other tasks, and navigation planning is one of the key, albeit difficult, technologies. The purpose of UAV navigation planning is to plan reasonable trajectories for UAVs to avoid obstacles and reach the task area. Essentially, it is a complex optimization problem that requires the use of navigation planning algorithms to search for path-point solutions that meet the requirements under the guide of objective functions and constraints. At present, there are autonomous navigation modes ...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 7062: User Pairing for Delay-Limited NOMA-Based Satellite Networks with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Yuli Wang In this paper, we investigate a user pairing problem in power domain non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme-aided satellite networks. In the considered scenario, different satellite applications are assumed with various delay quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, and the concept of effective capacity is employed to characterize the effect of delay QoS limitations on achieved performance. Based on this, our objective was to select users to form a NOMA user pair and utilize resource efficiently. To this end, a power allocation coefficient was firstly obtained by ensuring that the achieved capacity of use...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 7058: A Cooperative Hunting Method for Multi-USV Based on the A* Algorithm in an Environment with Obstacles
Jiabin Yu A single unmanned surface combatant (USV) has poor mission execution capability, so the cooperation of multiple unmanned surface ships is widely used. Cooperative hunting is an important aspect of multi USV collaborative research. Therefore, this paper proposed a cooperative hunting method for multi-USV based on the A* algorithm in an environment with obstacles. First, based on the traditional A* algorithm, a path smoothing method based on USV minimum turning radius is proposed. At the same time, the post order traversal recursive algorithm in the binary tree method is used to replace the enumeration algori...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 7052: Reconfiguration Error Correction Model for an FBG Shape Sensor Based on the Sparrow Search Algorithm
Liu A reconfiguration error correction model for an FBG shape sensor (FSS) is proposed. The model includes curvature, bending direction error correction, and the self-correction of the FBG placement angle and calibration error based on an improved sparrow search algorithm (SSA). SSA could automatically correct the placement angle and calibration direction of the FBG, and then use the corrected placement angle and calibration direction to correct the curvature and bending direction of the FSS, thereby improving the accuracy of shape reconfiguration. After error correction, the tail point reconfiguration errors of differ...

Carnevale Monitoring shoulder kinematics, including the scapular segment, is of great relevance in the orthopaedic field. Among wearable systems, magneto-inertial measurement units (M-IMUs) represent a valid alternative for applications in unstructured environments. The aim of this systematic literature review is to report and describe the existing methods to estimate 3D scapular movements through wearable systems integrating M-IMUs. A comprehensive search of PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Web of Science was performed, and results were included up to May 2023. A total of 14 articles was included. The results showed high hete...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6870: Pedestrian Positioning Using an Enhanced Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter
This study is similar to the previous study in that it estimates the user position by fusing noisy positional information obtained from the PDR and RSS fingerprinting using the Bayes filter in the indoor pedestrian positioning system. However, this study differs from the previous study in that it uses an enhanced state estimation approach based on the ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF), called QETKF, as the Bayes filer for the indoor pedestrian positioning instead of the SKPF proposed in the previous study. The QETKF estimates the updated user position by fusing the predicted position by the PDR and the positional mea...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6848: ETMT: A Tool for Eye-Tracking-Based Trail-Making Test to Detect Cognitive Impairment
o Nollo The growing number of people with cognitive impairment will significantly increase healthcare demand. Screening tools are crucial for detecting cognitive impairment due to a shortage of mental health experts aiming to improve the quality of life for those living with this condition. Eye tracking is a powerful tool that can provide deeper insights into human behavior and inner cognitive processes. The proposed Eye-Tracking-Based Trail-Making Test, ETMT, is a screening tool for monitoring a person’s cognitive function. The proposed system utilizes a fuzzy-inference system as an integral part of its ...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6835: Search and Study of Marked Code Structures for a Spatially Distributed System of Small-Sized Airborne Radars
hev When forming the radar situation of a terrain, in order to increase its information content and to extract useful information, multi-position spatially distributed systems for integrating multi-angle radar data established by small-sized UAV-based airborne radars are used. In this case, each radar station belonging to a multi-position system as a probing signal must have its own unique marked signal. Such a setup will allow the signals reflected from ground objects and zones to be “attached” to specific receiving-transmitting positions of the multi-position system. This requirement resul...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6806: On the Development of a Digital Twin for Underwater UXO Detection Using Magnetometer-Based Data in Application for the Training Set Generation for Machine Learning Models
eczorek Scanning underwater areas using magnetometers in search of unexploded ordnance is a difficult challenge, where machine learning methods can find a significant application. However, this requires the creation of a dataset enabling the training of prediction models. Such a task is difficult and costly due to the limited availability of relevant data. To address this challenge in the article, we propose the use of numerical modeling to solve this task. The conducted experiments allow us to conclude that it is possible to obtain high compliance with the numerical model based on the finite element method with the re...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6771: Automatic Life Detection Based on Efficient Features of Ground-Penetrating Rescue Radar Signals
upitsch Good feature engineering is a prerequisite for accurate classification, especially in challenging scenarios such as detecting the breathing of living persons trapped under building rubble using bioradar. Unlike monitoring patients’ breathing through the air, the measuring conditions of a rescue bioradar are very complex. The ultimate goal of search and rescue is to determine the presence of a living person, which requires extracting representative features that can distinguish measurements with the presence of a person and without. To address this challenge, we conducted a bioradar test scenario u...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 6749: IoT System Based on Artificial Intelligence for Hot Spot Detection in Photovoltaic Modules for a Wide Range of Irradiances
ro-Velasco Infrared thermography (IRT) is a technique used to diagnose Photovoltaic (PV) installations to detect sub-optimal conditions. The increase of PV installations in smart cities has generated the search for technology that improves the use of IRT, which requires irradiance conditions to be greater than 700 W/m2, making it impossible to use at times when irradiance goes under that value. This project presents an IoT platform working on artificial intelligence (AI) which automatically detects hot spots in PV modules by analyzing the temperature differentials between modules exposed to irradiances greater than 300...
