This paper presents a novel dynamic SLAM system that uses optical flow tracking and epipolar geometry to identify dynamic feature points and applies a regional dynamic probability method to improve removal accuracy. We developed two innovative algorithms for precise pruning of dynamic regions: first, using optical flow and epipolar geometry to identify and prune dynamic areas while preserving static regions on stationary dynamic objects to optimize tracking performance;second, propagating dynamic probabilities across frames to mitigate the impact of semantic information loss in some frames. Experiments show that our system significantly reduces trajectory and pose errors in dynamic scenes, achieving dynamic feature point removal accuracy close to that of semantic segmentation methods, while maintaining high real-time performance. Our system performs exceptionally well in highly dynamic environments, especially where complex dynamic objects are present, demonstrating its advantage in handling dynamic scenarios. The experiments also show that while traditional methods may fail in tracking when semantic information is lost, our approach effectively reduces the misidentification of dynamic regions caused by such loss, thus improving system robustness and accuracy.展开更多

文摘Dynamic visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is an important research area, but existing methods struggle to balance real-time performance and accuracy in removing dynamic feature points, especially when semantic information is missing. This paper presents a novel dynamic SLAM system that uses optical flow tracking and epipolar geometry to identify dynamic feature points and applies a regional dynamic probability method to improve removal accuracy. We developed two innovative algorithms for precise pruning of dynamic regions: first, using optical flow and epipolar geometry to identify and prune dynamic areas while preserving static regions on stationary dynamic objects to optimize tracking performance;second, propagating dynamic probabilities across frames to mitigate the impact of semantic information loss in some frames. Experiments show that our system significantly reduces trajectory and pose errors in dynamic scenes, achieving dynamic feature point removal accuracy close to that of semantic segmentation methods, while maintaining high real-time performance. Our system performs exceptionally well in highly dynamic environments, especially where complex dynamic objects are present, demonstrating its advantage in handling dynamic scenarios. The experiments also show that while traditional methods may fail in tracking when semantic information is lost, our approach effectively reduces the misidentification of dynamic regions caused by such loss, thus improving system robustness and accuracy.
文摘AIM:To gain insight into the future research directions in scleral contact lenses(SCLs)through a comprehensive bibliometrics study.METHODS:The publications related to SCLs were screened from the Web of Science Core Collection(WOSCC)database.All bibliographic information was extracted and used to conduct a performance analysis.CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to visualize annual publication counts,journals,authors,countries,institutions,collaboration networks,keywords,and references.RESULTS:A total of 498 articles were included in our analysis and the number of publications about SCLs showed a significant yearly increase.These publications predominantly emanated from 523 institutions across 38 countries,with the United States and Australia leading in frequency.Totally 1361 authors were identified,among whom Vincent J.Stephen exhibited the highest number of publications,while Jacobs S.Deborah received the most citations.Notably,the journal Contact Lens&Anterior Eye emerged as the primary publisher of studies,and it also boasted the highest citation rate.“Fluid-ventilated,gas-permeable scleral contact lens is an effective option for managing severe ocular surface disease and many corneal disorders that would otherwise require penetrating keratoplasty”was the most cited paper published in eye&contact lens in 2005.The most prevalent keywords encompassed“keratoconus”,“scleral contact lenses”,“management”,“contact lenses”,“scleral contact lens”,“ocular surface disease”,“dry eye”,and“contact lens”.CONCLUSION:Although SCLs have demonstrated significant potential in ophthalmological care,the results offer valuable insights pertinent to future research directions and clinical practice.Greater emphasis should be placed on developing enhancements in design,materials,and fitting technique,as well as on reducing the complications associated with SCLs.
文摘In order to gain insight into the current research status and development trend of problem-based learning(PBL)in colleges and universities,this study employs the bibliometric method to conduct statistical and analytical studies based on the examination of journal papers and review papers within the Web of Science(WOS)database.The objective is to provide a reference point for research in related fields.The findings indicate a sustained expansion in PBL research output at universities,with the United States accounting for most documents in the field,while European research institutions such as Aalborg University and Maastricht University are at the forefront.Nevertheless,the density of collaborative networks between authors is relatively low,and cross-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration still requires further strengthening.The majority of research results are published in academic journals such as Academic Medicine and the International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education.Presently,the focal point of PBL research in colleges and universities is undergoing a transition from a“single-discipline focus”to an“interdisciplinary integration.”This integration is profoundly intertwined with the nascent fields of modern educational technology and education for sustainable development,thereby offering a novel avenue for the advancement of pedagogical approaches and educational equity.
文摘In the context of rapid urbanization,cities must leverage their unique advantages to enhance their competitiveness.It has become a prevalent practice to integrate Chinese cultural elements into a city’s brand identity,as well as to transform and elevate the existing landscape.This paper examines the landscape evolution of Nanchang Bayi Park(Baihuazhou)and the associated measures for its transformation and enhancement.The findings indicate that,from the perspective of urban visual art,these transformations significantly enhance the city’s aesthetic perception and more effectively address the needs of people.Consequently,this contributes to the ongoing improvement and development of the city’s brand image.By modifying the urban structure,enhancing the urban environment,upgrading infrastructure,and elevating the cultural levels within urban areas,the objective of transforming and upgrading urban landscapes can be realized.

文摘Background As visual simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM)is primarily based on the assumption of a static scene,the presence of dynamic objects in the frame causes problems such as a deterioration of system robustness and inaccurate position estimation.In this study,we propose a YGC-SLAM for indoor dynamic environments based on the ORB-SLAM2 framework combined with semantic and geometric constraints to improve the positioning accuracy and robustness of the system.Methods First,the recognition accuracy of YOLOv5 was improved by introducing the convolution block attention model and the improved EIOU loss function,whereby the prediction frame converges quickly for better detection.The improved YOLOv5 was then added to the tracking thread for dynamic target detection to eliminate dynamic points.Subsequently,multi-view geometric constraints were used for re-judging to further eliminate dynamic points while enabling more useful feature points to be retained and preventing the semantic approach from over-eliminating feature points,causing a failure of map building.The K-means clustering algorithm was used to accelerate this process and quickly calculate and determine the motion state of each cluster of pixel points.Finally,a strategy for drawing keyframes with de-redundancy was implemented to construct a clear 3D dense static point-cloud map.Results Through testing on TUM dataset and a real environment,the experimental results show that our algorithm reduces the absolute trajectory error by 98.22%and the relative trajectory error by 97.98%compared with the original ORBSLAM2,which is more accurate and has better real-time performance than similar algorithms,such as DynaSLAM and DS-SLAM.Conclusions The YGC-SLAM proposed in this study can effectively eliminate the adverse effects of dynamic objects,and the system can better complete positioning and map building tasks in complex environments.
