  • The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is effective for nonlinear systems, but applying it with Lie groups can be complex, so strategies for simplifying computations on manifolds are explored.
  • This paper presents a multi-sensor fusion localization method utilizing an unscented Kalman filter on manifolds, tested on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), which successfully improves trajectory estimation in underwater environments.

Article Abstract

In recent years, the simplified computation of position and velocity changes in nonlinear systems using Lie groups and Lie algebra has been widely used in the study of robot localization systems. The unscented Kalman filter (UKF) can effectively deal with nonlinear systems through the unscented transformation, and in order to more accurately describe the robot localization system, the UKF method based on Lie groups has been studied successively. The computational complexity of the UKF on Lie groups is high, and in order to simplify its computation, the Lie groups are applied to the manifold, which efficiently handles the state and uncertainty and ensures that the system maintains the geometric constraints and computational simplicity during the updating process. In this paper, a multi-sensor fusion localization method based on an unscented Kalman filter on manifolds (UKF-M) is investigated. Firstly, a system model and a multi-sensor model are established based on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), and a corresponding UKF-M is designed for the system. Secondly, the multi-sensor fusion method is designed, and the fusion method is applied to the UKF-M. Finally, the proposed method is validated using an underwater cave dataset. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is suitable for underwater environments and can significantly correct the cumulative error in the trajectory estimation to achieve accurate underwater localization.

In the Kolmogorov Theory of Consciousness, algorithmic agents utilize inferred compressive models to track coarse-grained data produced by simplified world models, capturing regularities that structure subjective experience and guide action planning. Here, we study the dynamical aspects of this framework by examining how the requirement of tracking natural data drives the structural and dynamical properties of the agent. We first formalize the notion of a using the language of symmetry from group theory, specifically employing Lie pseudogroups to describe the continuous transformations that characterize invariance in natural data.

We show that the theory of quantum statistical mechanics is a special model in the framework of the quantum probability theory developed by mathematicians, by extending the characteristic function in the classical probability theory to the quantum probability theory. As dynamical variables of a quantum system must respect certain commutation relations, we take the group generated by a Lie algebra constructed with these commutation relations as the bridge, so that the classical characteristic function defined in a Euclidean space is transformed to a normalized, non-negative definite function defined in this group. Indeed, on the quantum side, this group-theoretical characteristic function is equivalent to the density matrix; hence, it can be adopted to represent the state of a quantum ensemble.

Background: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) has shown that screening with low dose CT in high-risk population was associated with reduction in lung cancer mortality. These patients are also at high risk of coronary artery disease, and we used deep learning model to automatically detect, quantify and perform risk categorisation of coronary artery calcification score (CACS) from non-ECG gated Chest CT scans.

Materials And Methods: Automated calcium quantification was performed using a neural network based on Mask regions with convolutional neural networks (R-CNN) for multiorgan segmentation.

Introduction: Social prescribing links patients to community groups and services to meet health needs; however, it is uncertain what the benefits and impacts of social prescribing are for people with chronic pain. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) undertook a systematic review to investigate the clinical and cost effectiveness of social interventions aimed at improving the quality of life of people with chronic pain; no relevant clinical studies comparing social interventions with standard care for chronic pain were found, though the inclusion criteria for studies was narrow.

Objectives: To undertake a rapid review of all types of research and policy on social prescribing for adults with chronic pain in the U.
