Cyber security in power systems has become increasingly critical with the rise of network attacks such as Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and False Data Injection (FDI) attacks. These threats can severely compromise the integrity and reliability of state estimation, which are fundamental to the operation and control of power systems. In this manuscript, an estimation algorithm based on the fusion of information from multiple estimators is proposed to ensure that state estimation at critical buses can function properly in case of attacks. Our approach leverages a network of estimators that can dynamically adjust to maintain system stability and accuracy. Furthermore, a new detector is adopted... More >

In Dempster-Shafer evidence theory (DST), the determination of basic belief assignment (BBA) is an important yet challenging issue before the evidence fusion. The rational mass determination of compound focal elements is crucial for fully taking advantage of DST, i.e., the ability to represent the ambiguity. In this paper, for the compound focal elements, we select and construct the compound-class samples with ambiguous class membership. Then, we use these samples to construct an end-to-end model called Evidential Radial Basis Function Network (E-RBFN), with the input as the sample and the output as the corresponding BBA. The E-RBFN can directly determine the mass values for all focal elemen... More >

In the realm of industrial defect detection, unsupervised anomaly detection methods draw considerable attention as a result of their exceptional accomplishments. Among these, knowledge distillation-based methods have emerged as a prominent research focus, favored for their streamlined architecture, precision, and efficiency. However, the challenge of characterizing the variability in anomaly samples hinders the accuracy of detection. To address this issue, our research presents a novel approach for anomaly detection and localization, leveraging feature fusion through inverse knowledge distillation as its cornerstone. We employ the encoder as the guiding teacher model and designate the decode... More >

Data fusion is a prevalent technique for assembling imperfect raw data coming from multiple sources to capture reliable and accurate information. Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is one of useful methodologies in the fusion of uncertain multisource information. The existing literature lacks a thorough and comprehensive review of the recent advances of Dempster– Shafer evidence theory for data fusion. Therefore, the state of the art has to be surveyed to gain insight into how Dempster–Shafer evidence theory is beneficial for data fusion and how it evolved over time. In this paper, we first provide a comprehensive review of data fusion methods based on Dempster–Shafer evidence theory an... More >

Remote sensing image plays an important role in maritime surveillance, and as a result there is increasingly becoming a prominent focus on the detection and recognition of maritime objects. However, most existing studies in remote sensing image classification pay more attention on the performance of model, thus neglecting the transparency and explainability in it. To address the issue, an explainable classification method based on graph network is proposed in the present study, which seeks to make use of the relationship between objects' regions to infer the category information. First, the local visual attention module is designed to focus on different but important regions of the object. T... More >

Facing the challenges of low efficiency and poor quality in UAV 3D path planning within large-scale airspace complex environments, this paper introduces a divide-and-conquer approach, proposing a dual-layer path planning method based on multi-source information fusion. The method decomposes traditional path planning into two steps: heading planning and trajectory planning, ensuring both planning efficiency and path quality. This method segregates the solution process into two distinct stages: heading planning and path planning, thereby ensuring the planning of both efficiency and path quality. Firstly, the path planning phase is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, taking in... More >

In the field of extended target tracking and information fusion, constrained by the sparse measurement set from radar, the target contour is commonly estimated as an elliptical shape. This paper uses convolutional neural networks to estimate the size and orientation information of extended targets. First, by establishing a systematic model for elliptical extended targets and modeling its measurement information, data normalization, and length equalization operations were conducted to provide reliable measurement data for subsequent neural network processing. Subsequently, through the construction of a convolutional neural network model, accurate estimation of the contour parameters of ellipt... More >
