The semantic information has been increasingly incorporated as pose optimization constraints into visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) for autonomous vehicles against complex environments. However, existing semantically constrained SLAM systems are still vulnerable to incomplete object observations and mobile objects, both of which are prevalent in dynamic vehicle environments. To mitigate these challenges, we propose a semantically constrained SLAM method by extracting and utilizing reliable object landmarks. This method first detects the motion status of objects using both geometric and semantic information, specifically tailored to address degenerate motions in driving scenarios. Subsequently, object-level landmarks are constructed from the identified static features and objects. These landmarks are then used to establish semantic constraints, which are adaptively weighted based on the reliability of each landmark, for camera pose optimization. Experimental results using a self-collected vehicle-borne dataset characterized by multiple categories of dynamic objects and severe partial observations demonstrate that the proposed system improves the 3-D positioning accuracy by approximately 68% and 29% compared with two state-of-the-art (SOTA) semantic vSLAM systems. Experimental evaluations on diverse sequences from the public KITTI and TUM RGB-D datasets are also performed to further validate the superior positioning accuracy and robustness provided by the proposed system across both dynamic outdoor and indoor environments.
As one of the main components of the Earth orientation parameters, short-term prediction of the geodetic polar motion series is crucial in the field of deep-space exploration, high-precision positioning, and timing services, which require high real-time performance. Additionally, its middle- and long-term prediction is equally important in climate forecasting and geodynamics research. In this study, we propose the combined BiLSTM+ARIMA model, which is based on bidirectional long- and short-term memory (BiLSTM) and autoregression integrated moving average (ARIMA). First, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is performed as a filter to decompose the polar motion time series to obtain low- and high-frequency signals. The EOP14 C04 time series provided by International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and decomposed by EEMD includes low-frequency signals like the long-term trend, decadal oscillation, Chandler wobble, and prograde annual wobble, along with shorter-period high-frequency signals. Second, low- and high-frequency signals are predicted using BiLSTM and ARIMA models, respectively. Finally, the low- and high-frequency signal forecast components are reconstructed to obtain geodetic polar motion predictions. In middle- and long-term polar motion prediction, the results show that the proposed model can improve the prediction accuracy by up to 42
Exploring land use evolution and its impact on carbon storage is crucial for mitigating climate change in resource-based cities and promoting green, low-carbon development. This study constructs a GMOP-PLUS-InVEST coupled model and utilizes remote sensing data from five phases of land use from 2000 to 2020. Four scenarios are established to simulate the future patterns of land use and carbon storage changes in Jining City. The results indicate that: (1) from 2000 to 2020, farmland, forest land, and grassland in Jining City show a declining trend; while construction and waters increase, resulting in a reduction of carbon storage from 167.35 × 10⁶ t in 2000 to 159.85 × 10⁶ t in 2020; (2) coal mining significantly influences nearby land utilization types and carbon storage, leading to a decline in nearby carbon reserves; (3) compared to the other three scenarios, the coordinated development scenario exhibits higher land use efficiency and carbon storage, with lower levels of human disturbance; balancing the local economy and environment, and serving as a sustainable pattern of land use for the area. The outcomes of this paper quantitatively reflect the relationship between land use, coal mining, and carbon storage in high-water-level resource-based cities; providing guidance for the local economy, urban development, and ecological environment protection.
Identification of the optimal noise model for space geodetic time series is crucial for various studies in geodynamics and geodesy. However, the position time series of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) are typically irregularly sampled. There is no clear evidence from previous studies to support that the Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE) method can allow for stable and reliable noise estimates for irregularly sampled data. To address this issue, we first conducted simulation studies. Results indicate that when the number of data points in the VLBI position time series reaches 300, reliable noise estimations result can be obtained using the MLE. We also found that the higher proportion of white noise a station has, the less influences the data gaps would be on noise estimations. Second, we apply the MLE to investigate the noise properties in the 32 VLBI position time series. About 12 (37.5%) stations exhibit pure white noise, and 15 (46.9%) stations display a combination of white noise and flicker noise. For these stations, the median amplitudes of white noise in the East, North, and Up components are 3.9, 4.6, and 11.9 mm, respectively. Moreover, white and flicker noise amplitudes show a latitude-dependent pattern, with stations located in the southern hemisphere and low latitudes (0-30 degrees N) in the northern hemisphere exhibiting higher noise amplitudes. The remaining approximately 5 stations (15.6%) have the optimal noise model of power law noise with the mean spectral index of -0.32, -0.36, and -0.53 for the East, North, and Up components, respectively. Simply assuming pure white noise can significantly affect velocity uncertainty estimates when compared to using a noise model that includes colored noise. The velocity uncertainty will be underestimated by a factor of 2.9 on average. The effects of a small proportion of colored noise in VLBI data on velocity uncertainty estimation can be ignored only when the time series length exceeds 32.6 years. Additionally, the choice of different noise model can lead to a maximum difference of 0.84 mm for the annual signal of the Up component. (c) 2023 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The Earth Rotation Parameters (ERPs) are estimated with the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), GPS, and Galileo obser-vations from approximately 100 selected International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Service (IGS) tracking stations around the world. The results are compared with the IGS final products (IGSF) and the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) series 14C04 at 12 UTC. The accuracy of the ERPs derived from the GPS-only reaches the IGS accuracy level. The standard deviations of the differences in the X-pole, Y-pole, and Length of Day (LOD), compared with the IGSF, are 23 mu as, 20 mu as, and 7 mu s/day, respectively. Meanwhile, the standard deviations of the differences in the X-pole, Y-pole, and LOD, in contrast with IERS 14C04, are 28 mu as, 25 mu as, and 9 mu s/day, respectively. Similarly, the ERPs are estimated using BDS-only and Galileo-only observations from approximately 100 selected IGS stations. For ERPs derived from BDS Medium Earth Orbit (MEO-only) satellites, the standard deviations of the differences in the X-pole, Y-pole, and LOD, compared with the IGSF, are 76 mu as, 53 mu as, and 19 mu s/day, respectively, and 75 mu as, 55 mu as, and 19 mu s/day, respectively, compared with IERS 14C04. Likewise, for the ERPs derived from Galileo-only obser-vations, the standard deviations of the differences in the X-pole, Y-pole, and LOD, compared with the IGSF, are 48 mu as, 31 mu as, and 12 mu s/day, respectively, and 48 mu as, 30 mu as, and 14 mu s/day, respectively, in contrast with IERS 14C04. Despite the three orbital planes, tracking station distribution, and unoptimized models for the BDS MEO satellites, these results are close to the IGS accuracy level. The impact of spurious system-specific signals on these solutions is investigated using spectral analysis, a notable spurious signal appears for the 3-plane BDS MEO and Galileo constellations. The pronounced peaks at the frequencies of 2.97 cycles per year (cpy) for Polar Motion and Polar Motion rate, 1.98 cpy for LOD are significantly larger than those from GPS.(c) 2023 COSPAR.

在嫦娥三号探月工程中,月球天平动参数是影响其着陆器定位精度的重要参数,研究月球天平动参数估计方法对于中国探月工程的发展具有重要意义.目前,月球激光测距(lunar laser ranging,LLR)是解算月球天平动参数的常用方法,该方法通过数值拟合将拟合系数放在历表文件中供用户读取.首先,基于差分甚长基线干涉测量技术(very long baseline interferometry,VLBI)解算月球物理天平动参数,其仿真结果表明,与DE421星历的插值结果对比,其欧拉角Ω、i和μ的改进值分别补偿至-0.6924"、0.009 6"和-0.009 7";然后,基于补偿后的月球物理天平动参数求解着陆器坐标和速度,结果显示,相比于补偿前,着陆器在X、Y、Z方向的定位精度分别提高了 24.204m、0.405 m、1.996 m,速度误差的估计精度也分别提高了 0.010 6 m/s、0.013 5 m/s、0.007 2 m/s.上述研究结果可为未来月球天平动参数解算的相关研究提供参考.
NeQuick2 is a three-dimensional ionospheric electron density empirical model that uses numerical integration to calculate the total electron content along any line-of-sight (LOS). As one of the most commonly used three-dimensional ionospheric models, it is necessary to objectively evaluate the accuracy and stability of NeQuick2 over a long period, especially over the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere where most of the ground-based GNSS stations are distributed. Therefore, different methods are used in this study to evaluate the accuracy of the NeQuick2 model from 2008 to 2021, including comparison with the International Global Navigation Satellite System Global Ionosphere Maps (IGSG), Jason2 Vertical Electron content (VTEC), and self-consistent evaluation. The comparison with IGSG shows that the standard deviation (STD) value is about 2.59 TECU. The accuracy of the IGSG and NeQuick2 model over ocean regions shows that the bias of IGSG is more significant than that of the NeQuick2 model. The mean STD value is 2.09 TECU for IGSG, and the corresponding value is 3.18 TECU for the NeQuick2 model, which is about 50% worse than IGSG. The dSTEC assessment results indicate that the variation in bias for IGSG is more stable than that of the NeQuick2 model. The mean STD value is 0.86 and 1.52 TECU for IGSG and NeQuick2 model, respectively. The conclusion could be made that NeQuick2 model represents the average ionosphere electron content and its accuracy fluctuates with solar conditions. Compared with the IGSG, the NeQuick2 model always underestimates TEC value, especially in low solar activity periods and compared with Jason2, the TEC values obtained by NeQuick2 model are overestimated, but the degree of overestimation is smaller than that of IGSG.
闰秒是协调世界时(coordinated universal time,UTC)为了调和天文时(universal time 1,UT1)和国际原子时(international atomic time,TAI)这两套不同的时标方法之间愈来愈大的累积差距而采取的"强制性的"时标修改机制.因为闰秒会带来诸多弊端,所以在本世纪初科学界就开始研究如何取消闰秒.但是,由于地球自转的影响因素过于复杂,人类目前的研究进度远没法掌握其确切规律,所以完全消除闰秒是一件非常困难的事情.因此,尽可能地延长闰秒的周期,减少跳秒频率,是可以通过缩小UT1和TAI之间的累积差距来完成的.通过对IERS(International Earth Rota-tion Service)近11年来的地球定向参数(earth orientation pa-rameter,EOP)数据进行筛选、处理和数学分析,最终确定了一套可以有效减少闰秒的天文时与原子时的对应关系,提出了可以减少世界时闰秒调整频率的原子时秒长调整方法.

Indoor navigation has attracted commercial developers and researchers in the last few decades. The development of localization tools, methods and frameworks enables current communication services and applications to be optimized by incorporating location data. For clinical applications such as workflow analysis, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons have been employed to map the positions of individuals in indoor environments. To map locations, certain existing methods use the received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Devices need to be configured to allow for dynamic interference patterns when using the RSSI sensors to monitor indoor positions. In this paper, our objective is to explore an alternative method for monitoring a moving user’s indoor position using BLE sensors in complex indoor building environments. We developed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based positioning model based on the 2D image composed of the received number of signals indicator from both x and y-axes. In this way, like a pixel, we interact with each 10 × 10 matrix holding the spatial information of coordinates and suggest the possible shift of a sensor, adding a sensor and removing a sensor. To develop CNN we adopted a neuro-evolution approach to optimize and create several layers in the network dynamically, through enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). For the optimization of CNN, the global best solution obtained by PSO is directly given to the weights of each layer of CNN. In addition, we employed dynamic inertia weights in the PSO, instead of a constant inertia weight, to maintain the CNN layers’ length corresponding to the RSSI signals from BLE sensors. Experiments were conducted in a building environment where thirteen beacon devices had been installed in different locations to record coordinates. For evaluation comparison, we further adopted machine learning and deep learning algorithms for predicting a user’s location in an indoor environment. The experimental results indicate that the proposed optimized CNN-based method shows high accuracy (97.92% with 2.8% error) for tracking a moving user’s locations in a complex building without complex calibration as compared to other recent methods.
In recent years, smart city has attracted more and more attention because of its high intelligence and informatization. In the future, smart community, smart parking lot and smart exhibition hall will enter people's life. In these smart services, indoor navigation and positioning technology is the basic technology.

Two obstacles lie in the traditional Signal Strength Fingerprint Positioning method. Initially, the algorithm cannot converge quickly and accurately due to massive data generated by large indoor environment. Secondly, it is difficult to determine a specific floor in a building using the received Signal Strength(RSS). This article proposes a method, which uses convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify the floor and location of Bluetooth RSS as well as magnetic field data to calculate the final coordinates, could apply Fingerprint Positioning into indoor environment with large areas and multiply floors. The method involves converting the collected Bluetooth RSS into the fingerprint image required for calculation and establishing the CNN for classification training. Subsequently, the real-time Bluetooth RSS are imported into the CNN to classify the floor and determine the transmitters location. Additionally, the observers coordinates are matched using the magnetic field data. Our experiments suggested that the proposed method can classify floors and transmitters locations with predictable bunds of 0.9667 and 0.9333, respectively. At the same time, the average positioning error is less than 1.2 m, which is 43.32% and 44.67% higher than the traditional Bluetooth and magnetic field fingerprint positioning. The accuracy of dynamic positioning is also within 1.55 meters.
