Purpose
This study aims to address the challenge of training a detection model for the robot to detect the abnormal samples in the industrial environment, while abnormal patterns are very rare under this condition.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors propose a new model with double encoder–decoder (DED) generative adversarial networks to detect anomalies when the model is trained without any abnormal patterns. The DED approach is used to map high-dimensional input images to a low-dimensional space, through which the latent variables are obtained. Minimizing the change in the latent variables during the training process helps the model learn the data distribution. Anomaly detection is achieved by calculating the distance between two low-dimensional vectors obtained from two encoders.
Findings
The proposed method has better accuracy and F1 score when compared with traditional anomaly detection models.
Originality/value
A new architecture with a DED pipeline is designed to capture the distribution of images in the training process so that anomalous samples are accurately identified. A new weight function is introduced to control the proportion of losses in the encoding reconstruction and adversarial phases to achieve better results. An anomaly detection model is proposed to achieve superior performance against prior state-of-the-art approaches.
Purpose
Deployment of deep neural networks on embedded devices is becoming increasingly popular because it can reduce latency and energy consumption for data communication. This paper aims to give out a method for deployment the deep neural networks on a quad-rotor aircraft for further expanding its application scope.
Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, a design scheme is proposed to implement the flight mission of the quad-rotor aircraft based on multi-sensor fusion. It integrates attitude acquisition module, global positioning system position acquisition module, optical flow sensor, ultrasonic sensor and Bluetooth communication module, etc. A 32-bit microcontroller is adopted as the main controller for the quad-rotor aircraft. To make the quad-rotor aircraft be more intelligent, the study also proposes a method to deploy the pre-trained deep neural networks model on the microcontroller based on the software packages of the RT-Thread internet of things operating system.
Findings
This design provides a simple and efficient design scheme to further integrate artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for the control system design of quad-rotor aircraft.
Originality/value
This method provides an application example and a design reference for the implementation of AI algorithms on unmanned aerial vehicle or terminal robots.
The great development of robot vision represented by deep learning places urgent demands on embedded vision implementation.
