Device and method for monitoring and optimising a temporal trigger stability (WO2023094554A1)
(2023)
The present invention relates to devices for monitoring and optimising a temporal trigger stability of an extracorporeal circulatory support means, and to open-loop and closed-loop control units for the extracorporeal circulatory support means comprising such a device, and to corresponding methods. A device (10) for monitoring a temporal trigger stability of an extracorporeal circulatory support means is accordingly proposed, which device is designed to receive a first dataset (14) of a measurement of an ECG signal of a supported patient over a predefined period of time. The device (10) comprises an evaluation unit (16), which is designed to determine or identify a plurality of R triggers (26) from the first dataset (14), wherein the evaluation unit (16) is also designed to receive or provide a second dataset (20) having evaluated ECG signals and a plurality of R triggers (28) and to selectively map the second dataset (20) on the first dataset (14). The device is also designed to emit a signal (22) that characterises a temporal gap between successive R triggers (26) from the first dataset (14) and successive R triggers (28) from the second dataset (20) which are mapped on the first dataset.

This study focuses on the autonomous navigation and mapping of indoor environments using a drone equipped only with a monocular camera and height measurement sensors. A visual SLAM algorithm was employed to generate a preliminary map of the environment and to determine the drone's position within the map. A deep neural network was utilized to generate a depth image from the monocular camera's input, which was subsequently transformed into a point cloud to be projected into the map. By aligning the depth point cloud with the map, 3D occupancy grid maps were constructed by using ray tracing techniques to get a precise depiction of obstacles and the surroundings. Due to the absence of IMU data from the low-cost drone for the SLAM algorithm, the created maps are inherently unscaled. However, preliminary tests with relative navigation in unscaled maps have revealed potential accuracy issues, which can only be overcome by incorporating additional information from the given sensors for scale estimation.
Modern industrial production is heavily dependent on efficient workflow processes and automation. The steady flow of raw materials as well as the separation of vital parts and semi-finished products are at the core of these automated procedures. Commonly used systems for this work are bowl feeders, which separate the parts and material by a combination of mechanical vibration and friction. The production of these tools, especially the design of the ramping spiral, is delicate and time-consuming work, as the shape, slope, and material must be carefully adjusted for the corresponding parts. In this work, we propose an automated approach, making use of optimization procedures from artificial intelligence, to design the spiral ramps of the bowl feeders. Therefore, the whole system and considered parts are physically simulated and the optimized geometry is subsequently exported into a CAD system for the actual building, respectively printing. The employment of evolutionary optimization gives the need to develop a mathematical model for the whole setup and find an efficient representation of integral features.
The precise positioning of mobile systems is a prerequisite for any autonomous behavior, in an industrial environment as well as for field robotics. The paper describes the set up for an experimental platform and its use for the evaluation of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms. Two approaches are compared. First, a local method based on point cloud matching and integration of inertial measurement units is evaluated. Subsequent matching makes it possible to create a three-dimensional point cloud that can be used as a map in subsequent runs. The second approach is a full SLAM algorithm, based on graph relaxation models, incorporating the full sensor suite of odometry, inertial sensors, and 3D laser scan data.
Die Positionierung mobiler Systeme mit hoher Genauigkeit ist eine Voraussetzung für intelligentes autonomes Verhalten, sowohl in der Feldrobotik als auch in industriellen Umgebungen. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt den Aufbau einer Roboterplattform und ihre Verwendung für den Test und die Bewertung von Kalman-Filter-Konfigurationen. Der Aufbau wurde mit einem mobilen Roboter Husky A200 und einem LiDAR-Sensor (Light Detection and Ranging) realisiert. Zur Verifizierung des vorgeschlagenen Aufbaus wurden fünf verschiedene Szenarien ausgearbeitet. Mit denen wurden die Filter auf ihre Leistungsfähigkeit hinsichtlich der Genauigkeit der Positionsbestimmung getestet.
Evaluierung von Kalman Filter Konfigurationen zur Roboterlokaliserung mittels Sensordatenfusion
(2023)
In dieser Arbeit werden drei verschiedene Konfigurationen der von Tom Moore, für das Robot Operating System, entwickelte Kalman-Filter vorgestellt. Diese bilden die Grundlage für eine Lokalisierung mittels Sensorfusion in dem verwendeten ROS-Framework. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist der Aufbau und die Verifikation einer Lokalisierung für ein mobiles Robotersystem Husky A200 der Firma Clearpath Robotics. Hierzu wurden die Möglichkeiten des bestehenden Systems untersucht und mehrere Versionen von Lokalisierungsfiltern konfiguriert. Am an Ende, wird eine Verifikation der Ergebnisse in verschiedenen Szenarien gegeneinandergestellt. Hierzu werden die Ergebnisse einer Variante des Extended Kalman-Filters in 2D (EKF2D), eine Variante des Unscented Kalman-Filter in 2D (UKF2D) und eine Variante des Extended Kalman-Filters in 3D (EKF3D) verifiziert und verglichen. Die Untersuchungen ergaben das der EKF2D die besten und robustesten Ergebnisse für eine Lokalisierung erbringt, trotz, im Vergleich zu der UKF2D Variante, 17,3 % höhere Endpositionsabweichung aufweist. Die in diesem Projekt gewählte EKF3D Konfigurationsvariante eignet sich, wegen seinen starken Ungenauigkeiten in der Höhenbestimmung nicht für eine aussagekräftige Positionsbestimmung.
Mit der Implementierung sowie einer anschließenden aussagekräftigen Evaluierung, soll das, visuelle-inertiale Kartierungs- und Lokalisierungssystem maplab analysiert werden. Hierbei basiert die Kartierung bzw. Lokalisierung auf der Detektion von Umgebungsmerkmalen. Neben der Möglichkeit der Kartenerstellung besteht ferner die Option, mehrere Karten zu fusionieren und somit weitreichende Gebiete zu kartieren sowie für weitere Datenauswertungen zu nutzen. Aufgrund der Durchführung und Bewertung der Ergebnisse in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsszenarien zeigt sich, dass maplab besonders zur Kartierung von Räumen bzw. kleinen Gebäudekomplexen geeignet ist. Die Möglichkeit der Kartenfusionierung bietet weiterhin die Option, den Informationsgehalt von Karten zu erhöhen, welches die Effektivität für eine anschließende Lokalisierung steigert. Bei wachsender Kartierungsgröße hingegen zeigt sich jedoch eine Vergrößerung geometrischer Inkonsistenzen.
A novel approach for synchronization and calibration of a camera and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in the research-oriented visual-inertial mapping-and localization-framework maplab is presented. Mapping and localization are based on detecting different features in the environment. In addition to the possibility of creating single-case maps, the included algorithms allow merging maps to increase mapping accuracy and obtain large-scale maps. Furthermore, the algorithms can be used to optimize the collected data. The preliminary results show that after appropriate calibration and synchronization maplab can be used efficiently for mapping, especially in rooms and small building environments.
The visual-inertial mapping and localization system maplab is analyzed by its implementation and subsequent evaluation. The mapping or localization is based on environmental feature detection. In addition to creating maps, there is also the option of fusion of several maps and thus mapping extensive areas and using them for further analysis of data. In this way, various software tools can be used to optimize the existing data sets.
Two sensor components are needed: an inertial measuring unit (IMU) and a monochrome camera, which are combined by a hardware rig and put into operation for the analysis of the visual-inertial system. System calibration is crucial for precision and system functioning and is based on nonlinear dynamic state estimation. This ensures the best possible estimate of the position of the environmental feature and the map. Maplab is particularly suitable for mapping rooms or small building complexes as the implementation and evaluation of the results in different application scenarios show. Special emphasis is laid on the evaluation of larger scenarios, in which is shown, that the system is struggling to keep up geometric consistencies and thus provide an accurate map.
Object Detection and Mapping with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Convolutional Neural Networks
(2021)
Significant progress has been made in the field of deep learning through intensive research over the last decade. So-called convolutional neural networks are an essential component of this research. In this type of neural network, the mathematical convolution operator is used to extract characteristics or anomalies. The purpose of this work is to investigate the extent to which it is possible in certain initial settings to input aerial recordings and flight data of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the architecture of a neural network and to detect and map an object. Using the calculated contours or dimensions of the so-called bounding boxes, the position of the objects can be determined relative to the current UAV location.
The paper describes a systematic approach for a precise short-time cloud coverage prediction based on an optical system. We present a distinct pre-processing stage that uses a model based clear sky simulation to enhance the cloud segmentation in the images. The images are based on a sky imager system with fish-eye lens optic to cover a maximum area. After a calibration step, the image is rectified to enable linear prediction of cloud movement. In a subsequent step, the clear sky model is estimated on actual high dynamic range images and combined with a threshold based approach to segment clouds from sky. In the final stage, a multi hypothesis linear tracking framework estimates cloud movement, velocity and possible coverage of a given photovoltaic power station. We employ a Kalman filter framework that efficiently operates on the rectified images. The evaluation on real world data suggests high coverage prediction accuracy above 75%.
The applicability of characteristics of local magnetic fields for more precise determination of localization of subjects and/or objects in indoor environments, such as railway stations, airports, exhibition halls, showrooms, or shopping centers, is considered. An investigation has been carried out to find out whether and how low-cost magnetic field sensors and mobile robot platforms can be used to create maps that improve the accuracy and robustness of later navigation with smartphones or other devices.
The aim of this work is the application and evaluation of a method to visually detect markers at a distance of up to five meters and determine their real-world position. Combinations of cameras and lenses with different parameters were studied to determine the optimal configuration. Based on this configuration, camera images were taken after proper calibration. These images are then transformed into a bird's eye view using a homography matrix. The homography matrix is calculated with four-point pairs as well as with coordinate transformations. The obtained images show the ground plane un distorted, making it possible to convert a pixel position into a real-world position with a conversion factor. The proposed approach helps to effectively create data sets for training neural networks for navigation purposes.
Bei dem vorgestellten Ansatz soll der Auftreffpunkt des Pfeils durch die Kreuzkorrelation von Audio-Signalen bestimmt werden. Das Auftreffen des Pfeils erzeugt ein charakteristisches Geräusch, welches von mehreren Mikrofonen in bestimmter Anordnung um die Dartscheibe herum in elektrische Signale umgewandelt wird. Mithilfe der Schallgeschwindigkeit und den Zeitdifferenzen, welche die Schallwelle zu den einzelnen Mikrofonen benötigt soll dann der Auftreffpunkt berechnet werden.
This paper presents an approach for implementing an automated hit detection and score calculation system for a steel dartboard using a standard webcam. First, the rectilinear field separations of the dartboard are described mathematically by means of line slopes and are than stored. These slopes serve as a basis for later score calculation. In addition, thrown darts have to be detected and the pixel at which the dart cuts the dartboard has to be determined. When this information is known, a comparison is made using the line slopes, allowing the field number of the hit to be detected. The decision for single, double or triple hit is made by evaluating the defined colors on the dartboard. All these functions are then packaged in a Matlab GUI.
Sweaty has already participated several times in RoboCup soccer competitions (Adult Size). Now the work is focused coordinating the play of two robots. Moreover, we are working on stabilizing the gait by adding additional sensor information. An ongoing work is the optimization of the control strategy by balancing between impedance and position control. By minimizing the jerk, gait and overall gameplay should improve significantly.

Correlation Clustering, also called the minimum cost Multicut problem, is the process of grouping data by pairwise similarities. It has proven to be effective on clustering problems, where the number of classes is unknown. However, not only is the Multicut problem NP-hard, an undirected graph G with n vertices representing single images has at most edges, thus making it challenging to implement correlation clustering for large datasets. In this work, we propose Multi-Stage Multicuts (MSM) as a scalable approach for image clustering. Specifically, we solve minimum cost Multicut problems across multiple distributed compute units. Our approach not only allows to solve problem instances which are too large to fit into the shared memory of a single compute node, but it also achieves significant speedups while preserving the clustering accuracy at the same time. We evaluate our proposed method on the CIFAR10 …
Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) is a long-standing task in computer vision. Current approaches based on the tracking by detection paradigm either require some sort of domain knowledge or supervision to associate data correctly into tracks. In this work, we present a self-supervised multiple object tracking approach based on visual features and minimum cost lifted multicuts. Our method is based on straight-forward spatio-temporal cues that can be extracted from neighboring frames in an image sequences without supervision. Clustering based on these cues enables us to learn the required appearance invariances for the tracking task at hand and train an AutoEncoder to generate suitable latent representations. Thus, the resulting latent representations can serve as robust appearance cues for tracking even over large temporal distances where no reliable spatio-temporal features can be extracted. We show that, despite being trained without using the provided annotations, our model provides competitive results on the challenging MOT Benchmark for pedestrian tracking.
In this work, we evaluate two different image clustering objectives, k-means clustering and correlation clustering, in the context of Triplet Loss induced feature space embeddings. Specifically, we train a convolutional neural network to learn discriminative features by optimizing two popular versions of the Triplet Loss in order to study their clustering properties under the assumption of noisy labels. Additionally, we propose a new, simple Triplet Loss formulation, which shows desirable properties with respect to formal clustering objectives and outperforms the existing methods. We evaluate all three Triplet loss formulations for K-means and correlation clustering on the CIFAR-10 image classification dataset.
Estimating the Robustness of Classification Models by the Structure of the Learned Feature-Space
(2022)
Over the last decade, the development of deep image classification networks has mostly been driven by the search for the best performance in terms of classification accuracy on standardized benchmarks like ImageNet. More recently, this focus has been expanded by the notion of model robustness, \ie the generalization abilities of models towards previously unseen changes in the data distribution. While new benchmarks, like ImageNet-C, have been introduced to measure robustness properties, we argue that fixed testsets are only able to capture a small portion of possible data variations and are thus limited and prone to generate new overfitted solutions. To overcome these drawbacks, we suggest to estimate the robustness of a model directly from the structure of its learned feature-space. We introduce robustness indicators which are obtained via unsupervised clustering of latent representations from a trained classifier and show very high correlations to the model performance on corrupted test data.

Engineering, construction and operation of complex machines involves a wide range of complicated, simultaneous tasks, which potentially could be automated. In this work, we focus on perception tasks in such systems, investigating deep learning approaches for multi-task transfer learning with limited training data. We show an approach that takes advantage of a technical systems’ focus on selected objects and their properties. We create focused representations and simultaneously solve joint objectives in a system through multi-task learning with convolutional autoencoders. The focused representations are used as a starting point for the data-saving solution of the additional tasks. The efficiency of this approach is demonstrated using images and tasks of an autonomous circular crane with a grapple.
Method for controlling a device, in particular, a prosthetic hand or a robotic arm (US20200327705A1)
(2020)
A method for controlling a device, in particular a prosthetic hand or a robotic arm, includes using an operator-mounted camera to detect at least one marker positioned on or in relation to the device. Starting from the detection of the at least one marker, a predefined movement of the operator together with the camera is detected and is used to trigger a corresponding action of the device. The predefined movement of the operator is detected in the form of a line of sight by means of camera tracking. A system for controlling a device, in particular a prosthetic hand or a robotic arm, includes a pair of AR glasses adapted to detect the at least one marker and to detect the predefined movement of the operator.
A versatile liquid metal (LM) printing process enabling the fabrication of various fully printed devices such as intra- and interconnect wires, resistors, diodes, transistors, and basic circuit elements such as inverters which are process compatible with other digital printing and thin film structuring methods for integration is presented. For this, a glass capillary-based direct-write method for printing LMs such as eutectic gallium alloys, exploring the potential for fully printed LM-enabled devices is demonstrated. Examples for successful device fabrication include resistors, p–n diodes, and field effect transistors. The device functionality and easiness of one integrated fabrication flow shows that the potential of LM printing is far exceeding the use of interconnecting conventional electronic devices in printed electronics.
The nonlinear behavior of inverters is largely impacted by the interlocking and switching times. A method for online identifying the switching times of semiconductors in inverters is presented in the following work. By being able to identify these times, it is possible to compensate for the nonlinear behavior, reduce interlocking time, and use the information for diagnostic purposes. The method is first theoretically derived by examining different inverter switching cases and determining potential identification possibilities. It is then modified to consider the entire module for more robust identification. The methodology, including limitations and boundary conditions, is investigated and a comparison of two methods of measurement acquisition is provided. Subsequently the developed hardware is described and the implementation in an FPGA is carried out. Finally, the results are presented, discussed, and potential challenges are encountered.
Current Harmonics Control Algorithm for inverter-fed Nonlinear Synchronous Electrical Machines
(2023)
Current harmonics are a well known challenge of electrical machines. They can be undesirable as they can cause instabilities in the control, generate additional losses and lead to torque ripples with noise. However, they can also be specifically generated in new methods in order to improve the machine behavior. In this paper, an algorithm for controlling current harmonics is proposed. It can be described as a combination of different PI controllers for defined angles of the machine with repetitive control characteristics for whole revolutions. The controller design is explained and important points where linearization is necessary are shown. Furthermore, the limits are analyzed and, for validation, measurement results with a permanently excited synchronous machine on the test bench are considered.
The nonlinear behavior of inverters is mainly influenced by the interlocking and switching times of the semiconductors. In the following work, a method is presented that enables the possibility of an online identification of the switching times of the semiconductors. This information allows a compensation of the non-linear behavior, a reduction of the locking time and can be used for diagnostic purposes. First, a theoretical derivation of the method is made by considering different cases when switching of the inverter and deriving identification possibilities. The method is then extended so that the entire module is taken into account. Furthermore, a possible theoretical implementation is shown. After the methodology has been investigated with possible limitations, boundary conditions and with respect to real hardware, an implementation in the FPGA is performed. Finally, the results are presented, discussed
and further improvements are presented in an outlook.

Die Virtual-Reality (VR) Technologie ermöglicht Unternehmen eine Produktpräsentation, die weit über traditionelle Darstellungsmethoden hinausgeht. Obgleich die Integration der VR-Technologie für Unternehmen viele Chancen eröffnet, ist deren Einsatz auch mit Risiken verbunden. Insbesondere der Mangel an empirisch gesicherten Erkenntnissen zur Kundenakzeptanz, zu den Auswirkungen der Nutzung sowie zu Kannibalisierungseffekten ist ein wesentlicher Grund, der die Verbreitung von VR in der Kundenkommunikation noch hemmt. Das Buch adressiert diese Forschungslücken und identifiziert mittels eines nutzerzentrierten, quantitativen Forschungsdesigns konkrete Chancen und Risiken, die mit dem Einsatz von VR-Produktpräsentationen verbunden sind.
In this study, a facile method to fabricate a cohesive ion‐gel based gate insulator for electrolyte‐gated transistors is introduced. The adhesive and flexible ion‐gel can be laminated easily on the semiconducting channel and electrode manually by hand. The ion‐gel is synthesized by a straightforward technique without complex procedures and shows a remarkable ionic conductivity of 4.8 mS cm−1 at room temperature. When used as a gate insulator in electrolyte‐gated transistors (EGTs), an on/off current ratio of 2.24×104 and a subthreshold swing of 117 mV dec−1 can be achieved. This performance is roughly equivalent to that of ink drop‐casted ion‐gels in electrolyte‐gated transistors, indicating that the film‐attachment method might represent a valuable alternative to ink drop‐casting for the fabrication of gate insulators.
Neurostimulation durch Musik
(2020)
Was ist die Musik und wie wirkt sie sich auf den menschlichen Körper aus? Historisch betrachtet wird die Musik als etwas Göttliches aufgefasst, da sie eine äußerst große Wirkung auf die Emotionen des Menschen besitzt. Dieser Effekt wirkt sich auch psychosomatisch aus und kann das Denken und Handeln des Zuhörers beeinflussen und steuern. So lässt sich beispielsweise das Kaufverhalten allein durch die musikalische Begleitung deutlich manipulieren. Selbst die Motivation lässt sich mit passender Vertonung entweder steigern oder reduzieren. In der heutigen Zivilisation begleitet die Musik den Menschen alltäglich und wird zu vielen verschiedenen Zwecken verwendet. Somit ist die musikalische Stimulation als eine Art Psychotherapie zu werten, die häufig gezielt angewendet wird, aber im Beeinflussten unterbewusst stattfindet. Da natürlich immer noch offene Fragen bezüglich der genauen Wirkung von Musik auf das Gehirn bestehen, werden derzeit im Bereich der Neurowissenschaften viele Studien durchgeführt, um dieses Phänomen nachvollziehen zu können.
The fast and cost-effective manufacturing of tools for thermoforming is an essential requirement to shorten the development time of products. Thus, additive processes are used increasingly in tooling for thermoforming of plastic sheets. However, a disadvantage of many additive methods is that they are highly cost-intensive, since complex systems based on laser technology and expensive metal powders are needed. Therefore, this paper examines how to work with favorable additive methods, e.g. Binder Jetting, to manufacture tools, which provide sufficient strength for thermoforming. The use of comparatively low-priced inkjet technology for the layer construction and a polymer plaster as material can be expected to result in significant cost reductions. Based on a case study using a cowling (engine bonnet) for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the development of a complex tool for thermoforming is demonstrated. The object in this study is to produce a tool for a complex-shaped component in small numbers and high quality in a short time and at reasonable costs. Within the tooling process, integrated vacuum channels are implemented in additive tooling without the need for additional post-processing (for example, drilling). In addition, special technical challenges, such as the demolding of undercuts or the parting of the tool are explained. All process steps from tool design to the use of the additively manufactured tool are analyzed. Based on the manufacturing of a small series of cowlings for a UAV made of plastic sheets (ABS), it is shown, that the Binder Jetting offers sufficient mechanical and thermal strength for additive tooling. In addition, an economic evaluation of the tool manufacturing and a detailed consideration of the required manufacturing times for the different process steps are carried out. Finally, a comparison is made with conventional and alternative additive methods of tooling.
The monitoring of industrial environments ensures that highly automated processes run without interruption. However, even if the industrial machines themselves are monitored, the communication lines are currently not continuously monitored in todays installations. They are checked usually only during maintenance intervals or in case of error. In addition, the cables or connected machines usually have to be removed from the system for the duration of the test. To overcome these drawbacks, we have developed and implemented a cost-efficient and continuous signal monitoring of Ethernet-based industrial bus systems. Several methods have been developed to assess the quality of the cable. These methods can be classified to either passive or active. Active methods are not suitable if interruption of the communication is undesired. Passive methods, on the other hand, require oversampling, which calls for expensive hardware. In this paper, a novel passive method combined with undersampling targeting cost-efficient hardware is proposed.
The mathematical representations of data in the Spherical Harmonic (SH) domain has recently regained increasing interest in the machine learning community. This technical report gives an in-depth introduction to the theoretical foundation and practical implementation of SH representations, summarizing works on rotation invariant and equivariant features, as well as convolutions and exact correlations of signals on spheres. In extension, these methods are then generalized from scalar SH representations to Vectorial Harmonics (VH), providing the same capabilities for 3d vector fields on spheres.
Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) is a long-standing task in computer vision. Current approaches based on the tracking by detection paradigm either require some sort of domain knowledge or supervision to associate data correctly into tracks. In this work, we present an unsupervised multiple object tracking approach based on visual features and minimum cost lifted multicuts. Our method is based on straight-forward spatio-temporal cues that can be extracted from neighboring frames in an image sequences without superivison. Clustering based on these cues enables us to learn the required appearance invariances for the tracking task at hand and train an autoencoder to generate suitable latent representation. Thus, the resulting latent representations can serve as robust appearance cues for tracking even over large temporal distances where no reliable spatio-temporal features could be extracted. We show that, despite being trained without using the provided annotations, our model provides competitive results on the challenging MOT Benchmark for pedestrian tracking.
Due to the rapidly increasing storage consumption worldwide, as well as the expectation of continuous availability of information, the complexity of administration in today’s data centers is growing permanently. Integrated techniques for monitoring hard disks can increase the reliability of storage systems. However, these techniques often lack intelligent data analysis to perform predictive maintenance. To solve this problem, machine learning algorithms can be used to detect potential failures in advance and prevent them. In this paper, an unsupervised model for predicting hard disk failures based on Isolation Forest is proposed. Consequently, a method is presented that can deal with the highly imbalanced datasets, as the experiment on the Backblaze benchmark dataset demonstrates.
The recent successes and wide spread application of compute intensive machine learning and data analytics methods have been boosting the usage of the Python programming language on HPC systems. While Python provides many advantages for the users, it has not been designed with a focus on multiuser environments or parallel programming - making it quite challenging to maintain stable and secure Python workflows on a HPC system. In this paper, we analyze the key problems induced by the usage of Python on HPC clusters and sketch appropriate workarounds for efficiently maintaining multi-user Python software environments, securing and restricting resources of Python jobs and containing Python processes, while focusing on Deep Learning applications running on GPU clusters.
Diffracted waves carry high resolution information that can help interpreting fine structural details at a scale smaller than the seismic wavelength. Because of the low signal-to-noise ratio of diffracted waves, it is challenging to preserve them during processing and to identify them in the final data. It is, therefore, a traditional approach to pick manually the diffractions. However, such task is tedious and often prohibitive, thus, current attention is given to domain adaptation. Those methods aim to transfer knowledge from a labeled domain to train the model, and then infer on the real unlabeled data. In this regard, it is common practice to create a synthetic labeled training dataset, followed by testing on unlabeled real data. Unfortunately, such procedure may fail due to the existing gap between the synthetic and the real distribution since quite often synthetic data oversimplifies the problem, and consequently the transfer learning becomes a hard and non-trivial procedure. Furthermore, deep neural networks are characterized by their high sensitivity towards cross-domain distribution shift. In this work, we present deep learning model that builds a bridge between both distributions creating a semi-synthetic datatset that fills in the gap between synthetic and real domains. More specifically, our proposal is a feed-forward, fully convolutional neural network for imageto-image translation that allows to insert synthetic diffractions while preserving the original reflection signal. A series of experiments validate that our approach produces convincing seismic data containing the desired synthetic diffractions.
Diffracted waves carry high‐resolution information that can help interpreting fine structural details at a scale smaller than the seismic wavelength. However, the diffraction energy tends to be weak compared to the reflected energy and is also sensitive to inaccuracies in the migration velocity, making the identification of its signal challenging. In this work, we present an innovative workflow to automatically detect scattering points in the migration dip angle domain using deep learning. By taking advantage of the different kinematic properties of reflected and diffracted waves, we separate the two types of signals by migrating the seismic amplitudes to dip angle gathers using prestack depth imaging in the local angle domain. Convolutional neural networks are a class of deep learning algorithms able to learn to extract spatial information about the data in order to identify its characteristics. They have now become the method of choice to solve supervised pattern recognition problems. In this work, we use wave equation modelling to create a large and diversified dataset of synthetic examples to train a network into identifying the probable position of scattering objects in the subsurface. After giving an intuitive introduction to diffraction imaging and deep learning and discussing some of the pitfalls of the methods, we evaluate the trained network on field data and demonstrate the validity and good generalization performance of our algorithm. We successfully identify with a high‐accuracy and high‐resolution diffraction points, including those which have a low signal to noise and reflection ratio. We also show how our method allows us to quickly scan through high dimensional data consisting of several versions of a dataset migrated with a range of velocities to overcome the strong effect of incorrect migration velocity on the diffraction signal.
Extracting horizon surfaces from key reflections in a seismic image is an important step of the interpretation process. Interpreting a reflection surface in a geologically complex area is a difficult and time-consuming task, and it requires an understanding of the 3D subsurface geometry. Common methods to help automate the process are based on tracking waveforms in a local window around manual picks. Those approaches often fail when the wavelet character lacks lateral continuity or when reflections are truncated by faults. We have formulated horizon picking as a multiclass segmentation problem and solved it by supervised training of a 3D convolutional neural network. We design an efficient architecture to analyze the data over multiple scales while keeping memory and computational needs to a practical level. To allow for uncertainties in the exact location of the reflections, we use a probabilistic formulation to express the horizons position. By using a masked loss function, we give interpreters flexibility when picking the training data. Our method allows experts to interactively improve the results of the picking by fine training the network in the more complex areas. We also determine how our algorithm can be used to extend horizons to the prestack domain by following reflections across offsets planes, even in the presence of residual moveout. We validate our approach on two field data sets and show that it yields accurate results on nontrivial reflectivity while being trained from a workable amount of manually picked data. Initial training of the network takes approximately 1 h, and the fine training and prediction on a large seismic volume take a minute at most.
In many application areas, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has led to breakthroughs. In Curriculum Learning, the Machine Learning algorithm is not randomly presented with examples, but in a meaningful order of increasing difficulty. This has been used in many application areas to further improve the results of learning systems or to reduce their learning time. Such approaches range from learning plans created manually by domain experts to those created automatically. The automated creation of learning plans is one of the biggest challenges.In this work, we investigate an approach in which a trainer learns in parallel and analogously to the student to automatically create a learning plan for the student during this Double Deep Reinforcement Learning (DDRL). Three Reward functions, Friendly, Adversarial, and Dynamic based on the learner’s reward are compared. The domain for evaluation is kicking with variable distance, direction and relative ball position in the SimSpark simulated soccer environment.As a result, Statistic Curriculum Learning (SCL) performs better than a random curriculum with respect to training time and result quality. DDRL reaches a comparable quality as the baseline and outperforms it significantly in shorter trainings in the distance-direction subdomain reducing the number of required training cycles by almost 50%.
Significant progress in the development and commercialization of electrically conductive adhesives has been made. This makes shingling a very attractive approach for solar cell interconnection. In this study, we investigate the shading tolerance of two types of solar modules based on shingle interconnection: first, the already commercialized string approach, and second, the matrix technology where solar cells are intrinsically interconnected in parallel and in series. An experimentally validated LTspice model predicts major advantages for the power output of the matrix layout under partial shading. Diagonal as well as random shading of a 1.6-m2 solar module is examined. Power gains of up to 73.8 % for diagonal shading and up to 96.5 % for random shading are found for the matrix technology compared to the standard string approach. The key factor is an increased current extraction due to lateral current flows. Especially under minor shading, the matrix technology benefits from an increased fill factor as well. Under diagonal shading, we find the probability of parts of the matrix module being bypassed to be reduced by 40 % in comparison to the string module. In consequence, the overall risk of hotspot occurrence in matrix modules is decreased significantly.
Analysis of Amplitude and Phase Errors in Digital-Beamforming Radars for Automotive Applications
(2020)
Fundamentally, automotive radar sensors with Digital-Beamforming (DBF) use several transmitter and receiver antennas to measure the direction of the target. However, hardware imperfections, tolerances in the feeding lines of the antennas, coupling effects as well as temperature changes and ageing will cause amplitude and phase errors. These errors can lead to misinterpretation of the data and result in hazardous actions of the autonomous system. First, the impact of amplitude and phase errors on angular estimation is discussed and analyzed by simulations. The results are compared with the measured errors of a real radar sensor. Further, a calibration method is implemented and evaluated by measurements.
