Visual simultaneous localization and mapping is a widely used technology for mobile robots to carry out precise positioning in the environment of GNSS technology failure. However, as the robot moves around indoors, its position accuracy will gradually decrease over time due to common and unavoidable environmental factors. In this paper, we propose an improved method called RTABMAP-VIWO, which is based on RTABMAP.

During the production of metal material, various complex defects may come into being on the surface, together with large amount of background texture information, causing false or missing detection in the process of small defect detection. To resolve those problems, this paper introduces a new model which combines the advantages of CSPlayer module and Global Attention Enhancement Mechanism based on the YOLOv5s model. First of all, we replace C3 module with CSPlayer module to augment the neural network model, so as to improve its flexibility and adaptability.

To solve the problem of missed and false detection caused by the large number of tiny targets and complex background textures in a printed circuit board (PCB), we propose a global contextual attention augmented YOLO model with ConvMixer prediction heads (GCC-YOLO). In this study, we apply a high-resolution feature layer (P2) to gain more details and positional information of small targets. Moreover, in order to suppress the background noisy information and further enhance the feature extraction capability, a global contextual attention module (GC) is introduced in the backbone network and combined with a C3 module.

Aiming at the problems of low detection efficiency and poor detection accuracy caused by texture feature interference and dramatic changes in the scale of defect on steel surfaces, an improved YOLOv5s model is proposed. In this study, we propose a novel re-parameterized large kernel C3 module, which enables the model to obtain a larger effective receptive field and improve the ability of feature extraction under complex texture interference. Moreover, we construct a feature fusion structure with a multi-path spatial pyramid pooling module to adapt to the scale variation of steel surface defects.

Fat fixation is a key step in filling tear trough depression with inferior eyelid orbital septum fat. The ideal position for inferior eyelid fat fixation is to cross the tear trough ligament causing tear trough depression and the orbicularis retaining ligament, with the distal end fixed at the farthest end of the dissected lacuna deep down the inferior orbicularis oculi muscle. Traditional suturing is difficult in the deep narrow lacunae, but a buried guide needle can be used to suture and fix the fat in the deepest lacuna.

Background: "European-style double eyelid" blepharoplasty often leads to a complex deformity, which includes one or more of the following features: a high fold, upper eyelid depression, multiple folds, an obvious scar, blepharoptosis, and lower flap tumidness. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive research on evaluation and treatment strategies for this complex deformity.

Methods: During a 6-year period, 65 patients (106 eyes) with a high fold and upper eyelid depression underwent corrective blepharoplasty.

Background: The inverted peno-scrotal flap method is considered the standard method of vaginoplasty in male-to-female genital reassignment surgery. Though with numerous advantages, the method has its limitations regarding skin texture, lack of inherent lubrication, and that the tissues for creating the labia depend on the amount of tissues remaining after vaginoplasty. Our purpose was to describe the procedure and outcome of vaginoplasty applying a new technique: autologous buccal micro-mucosa free graft combined with posterior scrotal flap transfer, which could solve some of the problems the previous methods had.

Objectives: The study aims to report the method and outcome of using scrotal-septal fasciocutaneous flap as a multifunctional coverage for prior failed hypospadias repair.

Methods: From January 2014 to June 2015, 18 hypospadias patients who have undergone repeated failed surgeries were enrolled. Their penile skin, urethral plate and dartos fascia are not enough to reconstruct the urethra, but have well-developed scrota.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness or acellular dermal matrix (ADM) with autologous buccal micro mucosa and micro skin graft in vaginoplasty.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 67 patients with vaginal agenesis treated between July 2006 and June 2013. ADM and mixed particles were used in 20 cases (ADM group) and mixed particles graft in 47 cases (control group) in vaginoplasty.

Objective: To introduce and evaluate the technical feasibility and anatomical and functional outcomes of one-stage vaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our experiences with 17 patients with Mayer- Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome treated with primary surgery from September 2010 to April 2013. All patients underwent vaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis.

Objective: To review data from patients who have undergone hymenoplasty with a novel surgical technique, termed the STSI (suture three stratums around the introitus) method.

Methods: In a retrospective study, data were reviewed from patients who underwent hymenoplasty by STSI at a center in Beijing, China, between January 2010 and January 2014. Patients were scheduled to attend a follow-up appointment 1 month after surgery.

Introducton: The repair of large urethrocutaneous fistulas (UCFs) commonly involves reconstruction of the urethra, waterproof layer and skin coverage, which deploy different tissues from different flaps. To simplify the multiple procedures, we explored to use one flap (a scrotal-septal flap) to reconstruct three layers in UCF repairing in one stage.

Methods: Between January 2011 and July 2012, 29 patients with large UCFs (ranging from 1.

Background: Nowadays, the demand for female genital rejuvenation procedures especially for labiaplasty is surging. Labia minora reduction has been the most practiced esthetic procedure for the female genitalia in China. Gynecological plastic surgeons have proposed several methods for labia reduction, but there is no consensus on which one is the best choice.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Accurate and comprehensive measurements of the external genitalia in female adults are of great significance in surgery designs and for aesthetic evaluation in genital plastic surgeries. The authors carried out a 319-case study and provided baseline data and morphometric reference for plastic surgery involving the genital deformity caused by trauma or burns and male-to-female transsexual operations.

Methods: Our study design recruited 319 women referred to the out-patient clinic from August 2010 to August 2013.

Techniques for expanding skin and soft tissue are widely used to repair damaged areas since they facilitate the provision of new, additional skin tissue with similar quality, texture and color to that surrounding the defective area. Conventional expansion techniques involve placing expanders under the normal skin adjacent to a lesion. However, these techniques may involve additional incisions, complications with blood supply and 'dog-ear' deformities and may result in a low utilization rate of the expanded tissue.

Successful eyelid reconstructions have been reported when using an axial nasal chondromucosal flap based on the dorsal nasal artery. The present study aimed to present a detailed anatomical description of the blood supply of the lateral nasal region and the angular artery, in order to propose the angular vessels as a new vascular pedicle for the island nasal chondromucosal flap. A total of 11 cadavers (22 hemi-faces) were examined.
