A Discussion of Building a Smart SHM Platform for Long-Span Bridge Monitoring.

This paper explores the development of a smart Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) platform tailored for long-span bridge monitoring, using the Forth Road Bridge (FRB) as a case study. It discusses the selection of smart sensors available for real-time monitoring, the formulation of an effective data strategy encompassing the collection, processing, management, analysis, and visualization of monitoring data sets to support decision-making, and the establishment of a cost-effective and intelligent sensor network aligned with the objectives set through comprehensive communication with asset owners. Due to the high data rates and dense sensor installations, conventional processing techniques are inadequate for fulfilling monitoring functionalities and ensuring security.

Voice Disorder Identification by using Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and K Nearest Neighbor (KNN).

Objectives: Clinical evaluation of dysphonic voices involves a multidimensional approach, including a variety of instrumental and noninstrumental measures. Acoustic analyses provide an objective, noninvasive and intelligent measures of voice quality. Based on sound recordings, this paper proposes a new classification method of voice disorders with HHT and KNN.

Establishment of a New Quantitative Evaluation Model of the Targets' Geometry Distribution for Terrestrial Laser Scanning.

The precision of target-based registration is related to the geometry distribution of targets, while the current method of setting the targets mainly depends on experience, and the impact is only evaluated qualitatively by the findings from empirical experiments and through simulations. In this paper, we propose a new quantitative evaluation model, which is comprised of the rotation dilution of precision (, assessing the impact of targets' geometry distribution on the rotation parameters) and the translation dilution of precision (, assessing the impact of targets' geometry distribution on the translation parameters). Here, the definitions and derivation of relevant formulas of the and are given, the experience conclusions are theoretically proven by the model of and , and an accurate method for determining the optimal placement location of targets and the scanner is proposed by calculating the minimum value of and .
