In the distance estimation scheme using Frequency-Modulated-Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radar, the frequency difference, which was caused by the time delay of the received signal reflected from the target, is calculated to estimate the distance information of the target. In this paper, we propose a distance estimation scheme exploiting the deep learning technology of artificial neural network to improve the accuracy of distance estimation over the conventional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Max value index-based distance estimation scheme. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with that of the conventional scheme through the experiments evaluating the accuracy of distance estimation. The average estimated distance error of the proposed scheme was 0.069 m, while that of the conventional scheme was 1.9 m.

In this paper, we propose a deep learning-based indoor two-dimensional (2D) localization scheme using a 24 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. In the proposed scheme, deep neural network and convolutional neural network (CNN) models that use different numbers of FMCW radars were employed to overcome the limitations of the conventional 2D localization scheme that is based on multilateration methods. The performance of the proposed scheme was evaluated experimentally and compared with the conventional scheme under the same conditions. According to the results, the 2D location of the target could be estimated with a proposed single radar scheme, whereas two FMCW radars were required by the conventional scheme. Furthermore, the proposed CNN scheme with two FMCW radars produced an average localization error of 0.23 m, while the error of the conventional scheme with two FMCW radars was 0.53 m.

Distance information of an obstacle is important for obstacle avoidance in many applications, and could be used to determine the potential risk of object collision. In this study, the detection of a moving fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with deep learning-based distance estimation to conduct a feasibility study of sense and avoid (SAA) and mid-air collision avoidance of UAVs is proposed by using a monocular camera to detect and track an incoming UAV. A quadrotor is regarded as an owned UAV, and it is able to estimate the distance of an incoming fixed-wing intruder. The adopted object detection method is based on the you only look once (YOLO) object detector. Deep neural network (DNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) methods are applied to exam their performance in the distance estimation of moving objects. The feature extraction of fixed-wing UAVs is based on the VGG-16 model, and then its result is applied to the distance network to estimate the object distance. The proposed model is trained by using synthetic images from animation software and validated by using both synthetic and real flight videos. The results show that the proposed active vision-based scheme is able to detect and track a moving UAV with high detection accuracy and low distance errors.

Deep learning technology has been widely used in various field in recent years. This study intends to use deep learning algorithms to analyze the aeroelastic phenomenon and compare the differences between Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) applied on the flutter speed prediction. In this present work, DNN and LSTM are used to address complex aeroelastic systems by superimposing multi-layer Artificial Neural Network. Under such an architecture, the neurons in neural network can extract features from various flight data. Instead of time-consuming high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, this study uses the K method to build the aeroelastic flutter speed big data for different flight conditions. The flutter speeds for various flight conditions are predicted by the deep learning methods and verified by the K method. The detailed physical meaning of aerodynamics and aeroelasticity of the prediction results are studied. The LSTM model has a cyclic architecture, which enables it to store information and update it with the latest information at the same time. Although the training of the model is more time-consuming than DNN, this method can increase the memory space. The results of this work show that the LSTM model established in this study can provide more accurate flutter speed prediction than the DNN algorithm.

This chapter discusses the basic operation of an artificial neural network which is the major paradigm of deep learning. The name derives from an analogy to a biological brain. The discussion begins by outlining the basic operations of neurons in the brain and how these operations are abstracted by simple neuron models. It then builds networks of artificial neurons that constitute much of the recent success of AI. The focus of this chapter is on using such techniques, with subsequent consideration of their theoretical embedding.

Deep learning technology promotes the development of neural network machine translation (NMT). End-to-End (E2E) has become the mainstream in NMT. It uses word vectors as the initial value of the input layer. The effect of word vector model directly affects the accuracy of E2E-NMT. Researchers have proposed many approaches to learn word representations and have achieved significant results. However, the drawbacks of these methods still limit the performance of E2E-NMT systems. This paper focuses on the word embedding technology and proposes the PW-CBOW word vector model which can present better semantic information. We apply these word vector models on IWSLT14 German-English, WMT14 English-German, WMT14 English-French corporas. The results evaluate the performance of the PW-CBOW model. In the latest E2E-NMT systems, the PW-CBOW word vector model can improve the performance.

The aim of this study was to systematically review the performance of deep learning technology in detecting and classifying pulmonary nodules on computed tomography (CT) scans that were not from the Lung Image Database Consortium and Image Database Resource Initiative (LIDC-IDRI) database. Furthermore, we explored the difference in performance when the deep learning technology was applied to test datasets different from the training datasets. Only peer-reviewed, original research articles utilizing deep learning technology were included in this study, and only results from testing on datasets other than the LIDC-IDRI were included. We searched a total of six databases: EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE), Scopus, and Web of Science. This resulted in 1782 studies after duplicates were removed, and a total of 26 studies were included in this systematic review. Three studies explored the performance of pulmonary nodule detection only, 16 studies explored the performance of pulmonary nodule classification only, and 7 studies had reports of both pulmonary nodule detection and classification. Three different deep learning architectures were mentioned amongst the included studies: convolutional neural network (CNN), massive training artificial neural network (MTANN), and deep stacked denoising autoencoder extreme learning machine (SDAE-ELM). The studies reached a classification accuracy between 68–99.6% and a detection accuracy between 80.6–94%. Performance of deep learning technology in studies using different test and training datasets was comparable to studies using same type of test and training datasets. In conclusion, deep learning was able to achieve high levels of accuracy, sensitivity, and/or specificity in detecting and/or classifying nodules when applied to pulmonary CT scans not from the LIDC-IDRI database.
