Design of an Artificial Neural Network to Detect Obstacles on Highways through the Flight of an UAV
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to several risks that involve travelling in highways, such as vehicle collision, natural disasters and other obstacles, the need of implementing an early warning system which detects obstacles to provide security has been growing in the last years. Artificial neural networks based systems have been successfully applied in obstacle detection through image processing and recognition. To address this issue, a Multilayer Feed-forward Network (MFN) was designed to detect obstacles in highways from a zenith perspective. Backpropagation algorithm is used to supervise the training of the proposed neural network by minimizing the square error function via descending gradient criteria. Performance analysis was performed by using binarized, grayscale and RGB images with constant size and considering several contexts. The proposed neural network was trained and tested offline. In a next stage of the project, this neural network will be implemented into the on-board computer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) as an early warning platform.

Detection of Single and Dual Incipient Process Faults Using an Improved Artificial Neural Network
Changes in the physicochemical conditions of process unit, even under control, may lead to what are generically referred to as faults. The cognition of causes is very important, because the system can be diagnosed and fault tolerated. In this article, we discuss and propose an artificial neural network that can detect the incipient and gradual faults either individually or mutually. The mai...

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) positioning in the outdoor environment is usually done by the Global Positioning System (GPS). Due to the low power of the GPS signal at the earth surface, its performance disrupted in the contaminated environments with the jamming attacks. The UAV positioning and its accuracy using GPS will be degraded in the jamming attacks. A positioning error about tens of...
