    Urban building segmentation from remote sensed imageries is challenging because there usually exists a variety of building features. Furthermore, very high spatial resolution imagery can provide many details of the urban building, such as styles, small gaps among buildings, building shadows, etc. Hence, satisfactory accuracy in detecting and extracting urban features from highly detailed images still remains. Deep learning semantic segmentation using baseline networks works well on building extraction; however, their ability in building extraction in shadows area, unclear building feature, and narrow gaps among buildings in dense building zone is still limited. In this article, we propose parallel cross-learning-based pixel transferred deconvolutional network (PCL-PTD net), and then is used to segment urban buildings from aerial photographs. The proposed method is evaluated and intercompared with traditional baseline networks. In PCL-PTD net, it is composed of parallel network, cross-learning functions, residual unit in encoder part, and PTD in decoder part. The performance is applied to three datasets (Inria aerial dataset, international society for photogrammetry and remote sensing Potsdam dataset, and UAV building dataset), to evaluate its accuracy and robustness. As a result, we found that PCL-PTD net can improve learning capacities of the supervised learning model in differentiating buildings in dense area and extracting buildings covered by shadows. As compared to the baseline networks, we found that proposed network shows superior performance compared to all eight networks (SegNet, U-net, pyramid scene parsing network, PixelDCL, DeeplabV3+, U-Net++, context feature enhancement networ, and improved ResU-Net). The experiments on three datasets also demonstrate the ability of proposed framework and indicating its performance.

    To enhance the performance of image classification and speech recognition, the optimizer is considered an important factor for achieving high accuracy. The state-of-the-art optimizer can perform to serve in applications that may not require very high accuracy, yet the demand for high-precision image classification and speech recognition is increasing. This study implements an adaptive method for applying the particle filter technique with a gradient descent optimizer to improve model learning performance. Using a pretrained model helps reduce the computational time to deploy an image classification model and uses a simple deep convolutional neural network for speech recognition. The applied method results in a higher speech recognition accuracy score - 89.693% for the test dataset - than the conventional method, which reaches 89.325%. The applied method also performs well on the image classification task, reaching an accuracy of 89.860% on the test dataset, better than the conventional method, which has an accuracy of 89.644%. Despite a slight difference in accuracy, the applied optimizer performs well in this dataset overall.

    Satellite imaging has always been a challenging task and at the current time being there are very few alternatives for capturing vertical images of Earth's vast landscape. Aerial photography by using multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) might be one of the solutions. This research aims to study, improve and demonstrate autonomy for UAVs by using specialized software and apparatus. The mission can be utilized to allow the UAVs to fly sequentially in the same pathway without colliding and creating the highest amount of coverage, which it is important for some remote sensing applications. Certain benefits can be obtained from using UAV rather than satellite imaging such as lower cost of overall equipment than a space satellite and higher resolution pictures due to flexibility in altitude operations. The results of implement the autonomous UAV has compare between path of actual flight and the setting way-points and it express exceptional results by presenting less of Root Mean Square Error.

    Aircraft trajectory recognition via statistical analysis clustering for Suvarnabhumi International Airport
    (2020-02-01) ; ; ; ;
    Delahaye, Daniel
    Since Suvarnabhumi International Airport is considered to be the biggest airport in Thailand, a big travelling-hub of southeast Asia and plays a significant part to the economy of Thailand relying on the tourism industry, an aircraft trajectory recognition is essential to support the high traffic management system from around the world. The first and essential stage of airport capacity enhancement is descriptive-analytic in several sections of the airport, including flight trajectory behaviors in order to plan an improvement procedure in the future. This experiment deploys K-mean and Gaussian Mixture clustering to compare results by using available automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) dataset provided by the bigdata system from various websites. The test varies the number of clustering from three to ten and measures how similar an object is to its cluster by using the Silhouette score. Gaussian Mixture clustering produces at least three unique flight trajectories when setting the number of clustering equal to four, giving the Silhouette score of 0.43. K-mean clustering with the number of clustering equal to ten gives the highest Silhouette score of 0.45. However, its routes are not clearly recognized when compared with the Gaussian Mixture clustering. Although the overall results are not clearly shown in the pattern, it is enough to describe the trajectory patterns of the aircrafts taking off or landing over Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

    The Moon-Aiming Thai-Chinese Hodoscope (MATCH) is a particle detector developed for the Chang’E-7 mission, designed to support space weather monitoring and cosmic radiation studies within the Sun-Earth-Moon system. The primary observational objectives of MATCH include space weather science and alerts, as well as the detection of cosmic radiation, particularly Jovian and Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) electrons. Additionally, MATCH can detect lunar albedo ions (alpha particles and protons) and contribute to understanding cosmic-ray interactions with the lunar surface, including high-energy particle backscattering mechanisms. These studies are essential for improving our knowledge of cosmic ray propagation and energy distribution in the lunar environment. MATCH integrates a double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD) for precise position tracking of incoming particles, along with a bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillator stack for accurate energy measurements. This study presents the development and validation of a scalable ground software architecture that supports event detection, signal processing, and data calibration, optimized for constrained onboard resources. The system has been validated through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing using alpha-emitting sources under mission-equivalent conditions, demonstrating high accuracy and resource efficiency for on-orbit data acquisition modes. Once deployed, MATCH is expected to provide the first continuous MeV-range cosmic electron measurements from lunar orbit, enabling new insights into Jovian and Galactic cosmic ray propagation, space weather variability, and lunar albedo ion generation. The software architecture developed here plays a critical role in enabling astrophysical investigations during the upcoming Chang’E-7 mission.

    Multiple motion planning plays an essential role in several vehicle motions. This paper proposes a cooperative method between the Line of Sight techniques and the Bezier curve, applying this to motion planning for unmanned aerial vehicles. The experiment is implemented using the AirSim plugin on Unreal Engine 4. The results of the proposed method are compared with those for the conventional Line of Sight techniques to control multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. The results illustrate that the proposed method takes more time to process than the conventional one. However, the proposed method can reach a higher performance by addressing the target unmanned aerial vehicles and the pre-defining path more than the conventional method does, which is shown in all three simulation cases.

    This study presents an integrated and reproducible framework for within-tier screening of potential healthcare accessibility in Bangkok. Facilities in three service tiers (primary 294 units, regular 75, referral 29) are analyzed using point-pattern diagnostics, Voronoi geometric partitions, population-weighted allocation from subdistrict controls, and cumulative network travel-time isochrones. Spatial diagnostics indicate clustering among primary care units, a near-random configuration for regular units, and modest dispersion for referral hospitals, summarized by observed-to-expected nearest-neighbor ratios of approximately 0.77, 1.05, and 1.19, respectively. Voronoi partitions translate these distributions into geometric units that enlarge with increasing inter-facility spacing, while population-weighted assignments reveal higher population-per-partition-area burdens in the outer east and southwest. Isochrone maps (5–60 min rings) show central corridors with short travel times and peripheral areas where potential access declines. Interpreted against statutory planning intent, the maps indicate broad consistency of siting with high-intensity zones, alongside residual gaps at residential fringes. Framed as repeatable indicators of access and coverage, the workflow contributes to measuring and monitoring urban health sustainability under universal health coverage and routine planning cycles. The framework yields transparent indicators that support monitoring, priority setting, and incremental adjustments within each tier. Limitations include planar proximity assumptions, uniform areal weighting, single-mode modeled travel times without temporal variation, and the absence of capacity measures, motivating future work on capacity-weighted partitions, minimal dasymetric refinements, and time-dependent multimodal scenarios.

    Satellite pose estimation (PE) is crucial for space missions and orbital maneuvering. High-accuracy satellite PE could reduce risks, enhance safety, and help achieve the objectives of close proximity and docking operations for autonomous systems by reducing the need for manual control in the future. This article presents a joint iterative satellite PE and particle swarm optimization (PE-PSO) method. The PE-PSO method uses the number of batches derived from satellite PE as the number of particles and keeps the number of epochs from the satellite PE process as the number of epochs for PSO. The objective function of PSO is the training function of the implemented network. The output obtained from the previous objective function is applied to update the new positions of the particles, which serve as the inputs of the current training function. The PE-PSO method is tested on synthetic Soyuz satellite image datasets acquired from the Unreal Rendered Spacecrafts On-Orbit Datasets (URSOs) under different preset hyperparameters. The proposed method significantly reduces the incurred loss, especially during the batch-processing operation of each epoch. The results illustrate the accuracy improvement attained by the PE-PSO method over epoch processing, but its time consumption is not distinct from that of the conventional method. In addition, PE-PSO achieves better performance by reducing the mean position estimation error by 13.1% and the mean orientation estimation error on the testing dataset by 29.1% based on the pretrained weights of Common Objects in Context (COCO). Additionally, PE-PSO improves the accuracy of the Soyuz_hard-based weight by 7.8% and 0.3% in terms of the mean position estimation error and mean orientation estimation error, respectively.

    This paper proposes a Hardware-in-the-Loop sim-ulation (HiLs) tested via square Helmholtz coils as a relative magnetic field generator. In technical terms, the HiLs is an indispensable tool for engineering design during rapid proto-typing of attitude determination and control algorithms for the turning parameters that control the attitude of the satellite, since most of the satellite's mission relies on its attitude, making this system one of the most essential to the satellite's operation. More-over, performing controlled experiments with the parameters for developing adaptive control algorithms improves the overall efficiency of the satellite's kinematic system. The conceptual design of a proposed system architecture can be composed of the electrical currents of 2.4-meter square Helmholtz coils produced by a low-level microcontroller equipped with a DC-motor driver by a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal through real-time connection to an orbit propagator using a high-level computer. This research focuses on the attitude dynamic of satellites through the interaction between the Earth's magnetic field (EMF) and the magnetotorque in the satellite. To apply this phenomenon, the intensity and the direction of the magnetic field must be identified through Biot-Savart's law. Along with the EMF, the reference position is calculated using the standard general perturbations satellite orbit model (SGP4), and the intensity is modeled based on coefficients from the 13th edition of the International Geo-magnetic Reference Field (IGRF). Therefore, this paper presents a detailed development of a HiLs testbed for distributed attitude determination and control systems (hardware and software co-design, protocol, and control theory). Furthermore, it discusses a classic cooperative control case for the output of magnetic field intensity and direction, which was undertaken to explain the integrated simulation process and validate the effectiveness of the co-simulation tested to be a primary experiment.

    Air pollutant concentration prediction is essential not only for effective air quality management but also for planning aircraft and ground vehicle route networks in terminal areas. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) is used to predict the concentration levels of four types of air pollutants (CO, NO<inf>2</inf>, PM<inf>2.5</inf>, and PM<inf>10</inf>) at Suvarnabhumi International Airport. By leveraging Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) historical data, aircraft trajectory pattern clustering is implemented by using K-means and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering algorithms. Then, those trajectory patterns are inputted together with other flight data into ANN computation processes, resulting in an effective air pollutant prediction model for each kind of focus pollutant. The results demonstrate that the mean square errors (MSEs) of the predicted models for CO and PM<inf>2.5</inf> have acceptable values of 51.7622 and 53.9682, respectively, while the predicted model for NO<inf>2</inf> and PM<inf>10</inf> has MSEs of 139.6674 and 124.2517, respectively. This study contributes to the advancement of air pollutant prediction methodologies, facilitating better decision-making processes, proactive air quality management, and route network planning at airports. Although some prediction models for focused air pollutants have slightly high MSEs, further study is needed to enhance the prediction model capacity.
