Abstract :

Pedestrian detection is a crucial aspect of target detection in computer vision. The main objective of this field is to process input video or image data using deep learning network models and label pedestrian target locations using bounding boxes on the original data. Currently, deep learning-based pedestrian detection methods have become dominant in the field due to the rapid development of convolutional neural networks and computer technology. However, existing target detection algorithms face challenges when performing the task on embedded devices due to their complex network structure, large computational and parametric quantities, and limited energy efficiency ratio and power consumption. Furthermore, the current pedestrian detection model still experiences a high number of missed detections due to the uncertainty of the occlusion pattern and the prevalence of occlusion within the dense crowd class. To tackle the aforementioned issues, this paper presents a lightweight network architecture achieved through innovative enhancements to the YOLOv7 algorithm. The primary research focuses on optimizing the network by introducing the RepGhost module. This involves utilizing the original ELAN module and ELAN-H module from YOLOv7 to construct a lighter feature extraction network. Secondly, following the concept of RepPAN, we introduce a new efficient neck network, named RepFPN, with the goal of enhancing both accuracy and efficiency of the model. Finally, we replace the RepBlock module in RepFPN with the RepGhost module to achieve deep fusion of two lightweight and efficient structures. The experimental results on the CityPersons dataset show that the YOLOv7_RepGFPN_RepGhost network model proposed in this paper, compared with the original model, reduces the number of parameters of the network model from the original 36.90M to 20.52M while the detection accuracy is improved by 0.6% to 68.6%, and the number of processed frames per second is also somewhat improved to 32.9 FPS.

Abstract :

The development of the manufacturing industry relies heavily on the supply of a large amount of energy, especially traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, and natural gas. However, with the increasing environmental awareness of people, there is also a growing concern about the limited availability and environmental impact of traditional energy sources. Improving workshop productivity has become one of the urgent challenges in the manufacturing industry, and production scheduling technology is the key to addressing this issue. However, due to the complexity of the Hybrid Flow Shop Scheduling Problem (HFSP), even precise algorithms struggle to solve small-scale problems. Therefore, this study adopts a novel metaheuristic algorithm to investigate HFSP and designs effective workshop scheduling strategies.

Abstract :

In order to prevent the loosening of train bolts, anti-loosening iron wires are commonly used to secure the bolts. However, the anti-loosening iron wires may experience breakage, leading to loosening or even detachment of the secured bolts, posing a safety threat to trains. In this paper, a GAN-based image deblurring network is proposed, with the generator utilizing U-Net-GAM and the discriminator based on PatchGAN. Specifically designed to address the blurred images of anti-loosening iron wires captured by the TEDS system on trains, the method achieves a PSNR of 34.63 dB and SSIM of 95.01% on the anti-loosening iron wire dataset, outperforming existing mainstream methods with good overall performance

Abstract :

To study the influence of rainfall and earthquake on slope stability, Based on the slope of the Limin Tunnel entrance section of a high-speed railway from Harbin to Mudanjiang, Slope stability SRM (strength reduction method) in finite element analysis software Midas GTS NX is used, Eigenvalue analysis and nonlinear time history +SRM analysis, The displacement, strain, and safety factor of the slope under natural, rainfall and earthquake conditions are analyzed. The safety factors of the slope under natural, rainfall, and earthquake conditions are 1.200, 1.0250 and 0.9887, respectively. According to GB50330-2013 "Construction slope Engineering Technical Code"  in addition to the natural conditions, the slope stability is poor under the conditions of rainfall and earthquake, so strengthening measures should be taken, In this paper, the most common prestressed anchor in slope reinforcement is adopted. According to the position of the potential sliding surface, the prestressed anchor is adopted to strengthen the silty clay layer and strongly weathered granite layer, And its stability after reinforcement is analyzed. After the reinforcement of prestressed bolts, the No. 2 and No. 3 bolts play an important role,Its largest bolt prestress reached 308,000 KN/, 227,000 KN/.The safety factor under rainfall and earthquake conditions reached 1.465 and 1.387 respectively, and the slope could satisfy the stability requirements under both rainfall and earthquake conditions.

Abstract :

In order to prevent issues such as cost escalation and efficiency reduction in industrial production caused by energy shortage, it becomes particularly critical to forecast energy consumption. This paper intends to adopt the classic model in time series analysis methods--Seasonal Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average Model (SARIMA), considering the tendency and seasonality traits of energy consumption data. Through statistical analysis of the data, we identify whether there exists trend and seasonality and determine the parameters of the SARIMA model based on the results of data analysis for energy consumption data modeling and forecasting. Experiments were conducted with industrial energy consumption data and the results demonstrated that this method could effectively predict energy consumption.

Abstract :

Neural networks have been widely applied in industrial production and daily life. However, the constraints of the production environment make it difficult to deploy neural networks to the unified devices. In this paper, we present a neural network accelerator generator that can generate different accelerators based on different parameters. Different from the existing mainstream neural network accelerators, we utilize the novel SpinalHDL language to design the generator to achieve the balance between performance and flexibility. To facilitate the deployment of neural networks in the production environment, we propose a comprehensive toolchain including a TVM-based compiler and a SystemC-based simulator. The compiler optimizes the network operators and generates configuration instructions. The simulator is employed for algorithm modeling and system simulation, which establishes a versatile framework for neural network acceleration. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by testing it on chips such as XCVU9P-2FSGD2104E using neural networks such as YOLOv4-Tiny and YOLOX. We perform accelerator validation on both single-core and multi-core architectures, which demonstrated favorable acceleration performance.

Abstract :

The handling of materials with the right quantity, the right cost, and the right time is vital for the manufacturing company. This study is about the optimum level of investments that are made in stores, where the quantity and cost of materials should also be optimal. Nowadays, the majority of firms either spend too much money on overstocking or lose customers as a result of understocking. Thus, the issue has been addressed, and there is a need to examine the stocks in the manufacturing company. This study is being carried out based on the past 20 years of demand data at the store of Jeevan Solvent Extracts Private Limited, basically a rice bran oil manufacturing company, in an effort to stop overstocking and understocking of materials, which results in various consequences and expenses. In order to avoid this, stockout cost and optimum level of safety stock can be examined through various analyses, such as finding out the annual daily demand, reorder point, probability of the number of times the quantity was demanded, additional carrying cost, additional stockout cost, and total relevant cost. By examining those analyses, we can identify the optimum level of safety stock, and a new reorder point can be obtained. This will assist the company in determining at which point the minimum level of investments should be made, and this method will also be helpful for all manufacturing companies in figuring out their ideal safety stock level, their optimum reorder point and when to bare the minimum level of investments that are made in stores.
