Summary
LiFePo4 battery is widely used in electric vehicles; however, its flatness and hysteresis of the open‐circuit voltage curve pose a big challenge to precise state of charge (SOC) estimation. The issue is discussed and addressed in this paper. First, a cell model with hysteresis is built to describe real‐time dynamic characteristics of the LiFePo4 battery. Second, the model parameters and SOC are estimated independently to avoid the possibility of cross interference between them. For model identification, an adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) algorithm is used to identify the cell parameters as they change slowly. While SOC could change rapidly, wavelet transform AUKF algorithm is put forward to estimate SOC. In the novel algorithm, the measurement noise can be estimated and updated online. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is verified under dynamic current condition. The experimental results show that estimated value based on the proposed method is more accurate than unscented Kalman filter‐based method and AUKF‐based algorithm. Meanwhile, the proposed estimator also has the merits of fast convergence and good robustness against the initialization uncertainty.
Vehicles, pedestrians, and riders are the most important and interesting objects for the perception modules of selfdriving vehicles and video surveillance. However, the state-of-theart performance of detecting such important objects (esp. small objects) is far from satisfying the demand of practical systems. Large-scale, rich-diversity, and high-resolution datasets play an important role in developing better object detection methods to satisfy the demand. Existing public large-scale datasets such as MS COCO collected from websites do not focus on the specific scenarios. Moreover, the popular datasets (e.g., KITTI and Citypersons) collected from the specific scenarios are limited in the number of images and instances, the resolution, and the diversity. To attempt to solve the problem, we build a diverse high-resolution dataset (called TJU-DHD). The dataset contains 115,354 high-resolution images (52% images have a resolution of 1624×1200 pixels and 48% images have a resolution of at least 2,560×1,440 pixels) and 709,330 labeled objects in total with a large variance in scale and appearance. Meanwhile, the dataset has a rich diversity in season variance, illumination variance, and weather variance. In addition, a new diverse pedestrian dataset is further built. With the four different detectors (i.e., the one-stage RetinaNet, anchor-free FCOS, two-stage FPN, and Cascade R-CNN), experiments about object detection and pedestrian detection are conducted. We hope that the newly built dataset can help promote the research on object detection and pedestrian detection in these two scenes. The dataset is available at https://github.com/tjubiit/TJU-DHD.
