A novel DNN tracking algorithm for structural system identification

Sheng-Yun Peng,Ling-Feng Yan,Bin He,Ying Zhou 국제구조공학회 2021 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.27 No.5

In the field of structural health monitoring (SHM), cameras record videos and tracking methods can be applied to calculate the structural displacement. Commercial and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cameras are promising non-contact sensors owning to their high availability and easy installation. However, effective tracking methods need to be developed. In this study, we firstly propose an end-to-end vision measuring framework with a novel deep neural network (DNN) tracker, named Siamese Single Decoder Network (SiamSDN). The system requires no target installation and uses cellphone cameras. For SiamSDN, the position and scale of bounding box are formulated through statistical parameter estimation. Unlike generative trackers, SiamSDN does not require manually extracted features or pre-defined motion areas. The tracking object is solely identified in the first frame. A shaking table test of a five-storey structure is carried out to demonstrate the efficiency. Besides, a UAV is used to simulate the field test. To minimize the error caused by the vibrations of UAV, digital video stabilization (DVS) is proposed to eliminate the drifts. Videos taken by both the commercial and UAV cameras are analyzed to calculate the displacements. Comparing our DNN tracker with feature point matching approach, SiamSDN improves the displacement measuring accuracy by 66.16% and 57.54%, respectively, and the frequency characteristics are obtained precisely.

Sheng-Peng Hu,Cheng-Yan Xu,Bao-You Zhang,Yi Pei,Liang Zhen 대한화학회 2014 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.35 No.10

Monodispersed Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates with an average width of 320 nm and thicknesses of 50–90 nm were successfully synthesized by a simple solvothermal method in a mixture solution of polyethylene glycol and H2O. The obtained nanoplates were characterized by means of XRD, FT-IR, SEM and TEM. The effect of surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate on the morphology of Bi2O2CO3 product was investigated. Under simulated solar light irradiation, Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates exhibited superior photocatalytic activities towards the degradation of RhB as well as high chemical stability upon cycling photocatalytic test. The nanoplates also showed promising photodegradation ability for eliminating refractory pollutant of phenol. The excellent photocatalytic performance of Bi2O2CO3 nanoplates as compared with P25-TiO2 endows them as promising high efficiency photocatalysts.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy and safety of lobaplatin-transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with radioactive $^{125}I$ seed implantation in treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: 75 patients with primary HCC were enrolled in the study, among them 43 receiving lobaplatin-TACE (TACE group) and 32 lobaplatin-TACE combined with $^{125}I$ seed implantation (TACE+$^{125}I$ group). After treatment, the local remission rates and postoperative complications of two groups were compared using the Pearson Chi-square test. Overall survival in the two groups was calculated using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the differences were tested using Log-rank test. Results: There were 7 cases of complete response (CR), 13 of partial response (PR), 6 of stable disease (SD) and 17 of progressive disease (PD) in the TACE group, with 13 cases of CR, 9 of PR, 5 of SD and 5 of PD in the TACE+$^{125}I$ group. The disease control rates of TACE and TACE+$^{125}I$ group were 60.5% (26/43) and 84.4% (27/32), respectively, with a significant difference between them (P < 0.05). The survival rates at 6, 12 and 18 months in the TACE group were 100.0%, 81.8% and 50.0%, respectively, and those in TACE+$^{125}I$ group were 100.0%, 93.8% and 65.6%. The mean survival times in the TACE and TACE+$^{125}I$ groups were 19.5 and 22.9 months, respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall survival rate between two groups (P < 0.05). No serious complications were encountered in either group. Conclusion: Lobaplatin-TACE combined with $^{125}I$ seed implantation is favorable and safe for treatment of primary HCC.

A design sensitivity analysis of bicycle stability and experimental validation

Sheng-peng Zhang,Taeoh Tak 대한기계학회 2020 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.34 No.9

In this study, the sensitivities of weave and capsize speeds with respect to design parameters were calculated on the basis of the linear forms of uncontrolled-bicycle dynamic equations. The significance of the design parameters and the way in which the stable speed range is changed were determined by analyzing the sensitivity curves. Among the seven important parameters (out of 25), head angle was found to be the most dominant, followed by the diameter of front wheel, mass, and moment of inertia, demonstrating the importance of front side design to bicycle stability. The procedure for predicting the stable speed range using sensitivity information was also investigated. When a single parameter was changed, the stable range was determined by that parameter, whereas when multiple parameters were changed, the stable range was determined by summing all the contributions from each parameter. The weave speeds in the nominal and changed configurations yielding the lowest values were measured using an experimental bicycle of variable configuration. A comparison of the measured and predicted values of weave speeds showed a good correlation, demonstrating the validity of the sensitivity-based stability analysis. This study used a novel procedure for predicting the stable speed range through the sensitivity analysis of design parameters related to bicycle stability and validation of the stable speed range with experiment.

Quality assessment of high performance concrete using digitized image elements

Sheng-Szu Peng,Her-Yung Wang,Yu-Te Chou,Edward H. Wang 사단법인 한국계산역학회 2012 Computers and Concrete, An International Journal Vol.10 No.4

The quality of high performance concrete largely depends on water cement ratio, porosity,material composition and mix methods. The uniformity of color, texture and compressive strengths are quality indicators commonly used to assess the overall characteristics of concrete mixes. The homogeneity and share of coarse aggregates play a key role in concrete quality and must be analyzed in a microscopic point of view. This research studies the quality of high performance concrete by taking drilled cores in both horizontal and vertical directions from a 1.0 m3 specimen. The coarse aggregate, expressed in digitized 100×116 dpi resolution images are processed based on brightness in colors through commercial software converted into text files. With the image converting to text format, the share of coarse aggregate is quantified leading to a satisfactory assessment of homogeneity – a quality index of high performance concrete. The compressive strengths of concrete and the shares of coarse aggregate of the samples are also compared in this research study to illustrate its correlation in concrete quality. It is concluded that a higher homogeneity of aggregate exists in the vertical plane than that of the horizontal planes of the high performance concrete. In addition, the concrete specimen showing denser particle packing has relatively higher compressive strengths. The research methodology provides an easy-to-use, direct measurement of high performance concrete when conducting quality assessment in the construction site.

( Sheng Peng Niu ),( Tzu Hua Chen ),( Tse Min Chen ) 한국농업기계학회 2018 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.23 No.1

The Moisture content detection of non-homogeneous materials has always been a challenge, especially for agricultural products with time varied characteristics and specific compositions. For in-shelled peanuts, this research developed a system with which is able to detect moisture content promptly. Peanuts with high quality have to keep dry in all kinds of phases such as harvesting, storage, and processing. To prevent mold from breeding and the spread of aflatoxin, which will influence the value and quality severely, the moisture content of peanuts is a key parameter to be monitored and controlled. Therefore, a highly efficient device or mechanism will be required. However, there is still no any devices with enough accuracy and promptness to detect moisture content for peanuts yet. This study employed TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) technology to challenge this mission. Comparing with the results of traditional IR measurement and standard oven, which helps to set up a calibration curve, this research validates the proposed method to detect the moisture content of in-shell peanut finally.
