This paper describes a taxonomy which allows to assess and compare different implementations of master data objects. A systematic breakdown of core entities provides a framework to tell apart four subdividing categories of master data objects: independent and dependent objects, relational objects, and reference objects that serve to attribute information. This supports the preparation of data migrations from one system to another.
Zeitliche Anpassung führt zu verbesserter Schalllokalisation bei bimodal versorgten CI-/HG-Trägern
(2021)
Bei bimodal versorgten Cochlea-Implantaten (CI) / Hörgerät (HG)-Trägern entsteht durch die unterschiedliche Signalverarbeitung der Geräte eine konstante interaurale Zeitverzögerung in der Größenordnung von mehreren Millisekunden. Für MED-EL CI-Systeme in Kombination mit verschiedenen HG-Typen haben wir den jeweiligen Device-Delay-Mismatch quantifiziert. In der aktuellen Studie untersuchen wir den Einfluss der Device-Delay-Mismatch bei simulierten und tatsächlichen bimodalen Hörern auf die Genauigkeit der Schalllokalisation.
Um den Device-Delay-Mismatch bei bimodal versorgten Patienten zu verringern, haben wir die CI-Stimulation um die gemessene HG-Signallaufzeit und zwei weitere Werte verzögert. Nach einer Angewöhnungsphase war der effektive Winkelfehler bei Verzögerung um die HG-Signallaufzeit hochsignifikant reduziert im Vergleich zu der Testkondition ohne CI-Verzögerung (mittlere Verbesserung: 11 % ; p < .01, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test). Aber auch mit den beiden weiteren Verzögerungswerten wurden Verbesserungen erreicht. Anhand der Ergebnisse lässt sich der optimale patientenspezifische Verzögerungswert näher eingrenzen.
In bimodal cochlear implant (CI) / hearing aid (HA) users a constant interaural time delay in the order of several milliseconds occurs due to differences in signal processing of the devices. For MED-EL CI systems in combination with different HA types, we have quantified the respective device delay mismatch (Zirn et al. 2015). In the current study, we investigate the effect of the device delay mismatch in simulated and actual bimodal listeners on sound localization accuracy.
To deal with the device delay mismatch in actual bimodal listeners we delayed the CI stimulation according to the measured HA processing delay and two other values. With all delay values highly significant improvements of the rms error in the localization task were observed compared to the test without the delay. The results help to narrow down the optimal patient-specific delay value.
Facial image manipulation is a generation task where the output face is shifted towards an intended target direction in terms of facial attribute and styles. Recent works have achieved great success in various editing techniques such as style transfer and attribute translation. However, current approaches are either focusing on pure style transfer, or on the translation of predefined sets of attributes with restricted interactivity. To address this issue, we propose FacialGAN, a novel framework enabling simultaneous rich style transfers and interactive facial attributes manipulation. While preserving the identity of a source image, we transfer the diverse styles of a target image to the source image. We then incorporate the geometry information of a segmentation mask to provide a fine-grained manipulation of facial attributes. Finally, a multi-objective learning strategy is introduced to optimize the loss of each specific tasks. Experiments on the CelebA-HQ dataset, with CelebAMask-HQ as semantic mask labels, show our model’s capacity in producing visually compelling results in style transfer, attribute manipulation, diversity and face verification. For reproducibility, we provide an interactive open-source tool to perform facial manipulations, and the Pytorch implementation of the model.
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 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.
For some years now, additive manufacturing (AM) has offered an alternative to conventional manufacturing processes. The strengths of AM are primarily the rapid implementation of ideas into a usable product and the ability to produce geometrically complex shapes. It has also significantly advanced the lightweight design of products made of plastic. So far, the strength of printed components made of polymers is previously very limited.
Recently, new AM processes have become available that allow the embedding of short and also long fibers in polymer matrix. Thus, the manufacturing of components that provide a significant increase in strength becomes possible. In this way, both complex geometries and sophisticated applications can be implemented. This paper therefore investigates how this new technology can be implemented in product development, focusing on sports equipment. An extensive literature research shows that lightweight design plays a decisive role in sports equipment. In addition, the advantages of AM in terms of individualized products and low quantities can be fully exploited.
An example of this approach is the steering system for a seat sled used by paraplegic athletes in the Olympic discipline of Nordic paraskiing. A particular challenge here is the placement and alignment of the long carbon fibers within the polymer matrix and the verification of the strength by means of Finite-Element-Analysis (FEA). In addition, findings from bionics are used to optimize the lightweight design of the steering system. Using this example, it can be shown that the weight of the steering system can be drastically reduced compared to conventional manufacturing. At the same time, a number of parts can be saved through function integration and thus the manufacturing and assembly effort can be reduced significantly.
Today, Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an important part of teaching for the education of future engineers. Therefore, a variety of approaches have been developed in recent years on how to bring the design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) into university teaching. In a detailed literature review, the advantages and disadvantages of the previous approaches are considered and analysed. Based on this, an extended approach is presented in which students analyse and optimize a given product with respect to additive manufacturing. In doing so, the students have to solve challenging tasks in optimization in product development with the help of methodical approaches and practically implement their developed solutions with state-of-the-art additive processes. To work on this task, the students have two different 3D printers at their disposal, which work with different processes and materials. Thus, the students learn to adapt the design to different manufacturing processes and to consider the restrictions of different materials. The assessment of the results from this course is done through feedback and a written survey.
