A Multi-Strategy Siberian Tiger Optimization Algorithm for Task Scheduling in Remote Sensing Data Batch Processing.

With advancements in integrated space-air-ground global observation capabilities, the volume of remote sensing data is experiencing exponential growth. Traditional computing models can no longer meet the task processing demands brought about by the vast amounts of remote sensing data. As an important means of processing remote sensing data, distributed cluster computing's task scheduling directly impacts the completion time and the efficiency of computing resource utilization.

Minimal perception: enabling autonomy in resource-constrained robots.

The rapidly increasing capabilities of autonomous mobile robots promise to make them ubiquitous in the coming decade. These robots will continue to enhance efficiency and safety in novel applications such as disaster management, environmental monitoring, bridge inspection, and agricultural inspection. To operate autonomously without constant human intervention, even in remote or hazardous areas, robots must sense, process, and interpret environmental data using only onboard sensing and computation.

ECAPA-TDNN based online discussion activity-level evaluation.

With the continuous development and application of online interactive activities and network transmission technology, online interactive behaviors such as online discussion meetings and online teaching have become indispensable in people's studies and work. However, the effectiveness of working with online discussions and feedback from participants on their conference performance has been a major concern, and this is the issue examined in this post. Based on the above issues, this paper designs an online discussion activity-level evaluation system based on voiceprint recognition technology.

Condition-Adaptive Graph Convolution Learning for Skeleton-Based Gait Recognition.

Graph convolutional networks have been widely applied in skeleton-based gait recognition. A key challenge in this task is to distinguish the individual walking styles of different subjects across various views. Existing state-of-the-art methods employ uniform convolutions to extract features from diverse sequences and ignore the effects of viewpoint changes.

Advances in biosynthesis of scopoletin.

Scopoletin is a typical example of coumarins, which can be produced in plants. Scopoletin acts as a precursor for pharmaceutical and health care products, and also possesses promising biological properties, including antibacterial, anti-tubercular, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and anti-hyperuricemic activity. Despite the potential benefits, the production of scopoletin using traditional extraction processes from plants is unsatisfactory.

Artificial nondirectional site-specific recombination systems.

Site-specific recombination systems (SRSs) are widely used in studies on synthetic biology and related disciplines. Nondirectional SRSs can randomly trigger excision, integration, reversal, and translocation, which are effective tools to achieve large-scale genome recombination. In this study, we designed 6 new nondirectional SRSs named Vika/voxsym1-4 and Dre/roxsym1-2.

Parallax-Robust Surveillance Video Stitching.

This paper presents a parallax-robust video stitching technique for timely synchronized surveillance video. An efficient two-stage video stitching procedure is proposed in this paper to build wide Field-of-View (FOV) videos for surveillance applications. In the stitching model calculation stage, we develop a layered warping algorithm to align the background scenes, which is location-dependent and turned out to be more robust to parallax than the traditional global projective warping methods.
