$ $With recent advances in CNNs, exceptional improvements have been made in semantic segmentation of high resolution images in terms of accuracy and latency. However, challenges still remain in detecting objects in crowded scenes, large scale variations, partial occlusion, and distortions, while still maintaining mobility and latency. We introduce a fast and efficient convolutional neural network, ASBU-Net, for semantic segmentation of high resolution images that addresses these problems and uses no novelty layers for ease of quantization and embedded hardware support. ASBU-Net is based on a new feature extraction module, atrous space bender layer (ASBL), which is efficient in terms of computation and memory. The ASB layers form a building block that is used to make ASBNet. Since this network does not use any special layers it can be easily implemented, quantized and deployed on FPGAs and other hardware with limited memory. We present experiments on resource and accuracy trade-offs and show strong performance compared to other popular models.

Data Centers are huge power consumers, both because of the energy required for computation and the cooling needed to keep servers below thermal redlining. The most common technique to minimize cooling costs is increasing data room temperature. However, to avoid reliability issues, and to enhance energy efficiency, there is a need to predict the temperature attained by servers under variable cooling setups. Due to the complex thermal dynamics of data rooms, accurate runtime data center temperature prediction has remained as an important challenge. By using Gramatical Evolution techniques, this paper presents a methodology for the generation of temperature models for data centers and the runtime prediction of CPU and inlet temperature under variable cooling setups. As opposed to time costly Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques, our models do not need specific knowledge about the problem, can be used in arbitrary data centers, re-trained if conditions change and have negligible overhead during runtime prediction. Our models have been trained and tested by using traces from real Data Center scenarios. Our results show how we can fully predict the temperature of the servers in a data rooms, with prediction errors below 2 C and 0.5 C in CPU and server inlet temperature respectively.

We present the Habitat-Matterport 3D Semantics (HM3DSEM) dataset. HM3DSEM is the largest dataset of 3D real-world spaces with densely annotated semantics that is currently available to the academic community. It consists of 142,646 object instance annotations across 216 3D spaces and 3,100 rooms within those spaces. The scale, quality, and diversity of object annotations far exceed those of prior datasets. A key difference setting apart HM3DSEM from other datasets is the use of texture information to annotate pixel-accurate object boundaries. We demonstrate the effectiveness of HM3DSEM dataset for the Object Goal Navigation task using different methods. Policies trained using HM3DSEM perform outperform those trained on prior datasets. Introduction of HM3DSEM in the Habitat ObjectNav Challenge lead to an increase in participation from 400 submissions in 2021 to 1022 submissions in 2022.

我们建议对视觉模型预处理的基于利润的损失，以鼓励基于梯度的解释，这些解释与区域级注释一致。我们将该目标称为注意面罩的一致性（AMC），并证明它与依赖于区域级注释的模型相比，它产生了卓越的视觉接地性能，以显式训练对象检测器，例如更快的R-CNN。 AMC通过鼓励基于梯度的解释掩盖来工作，该掩盖的注意力分数主要集中在包含这种注释的图像的注释区域中。尤其是，在标准视觉建模目标之上接受AMC训练的模型在FlickR30K视觉接地基准中获得了86.59％的最新精度，与最佳先前模型相比，绝对改善了5.48％。我们的方法在既定的基准中都表现出表达理解，并通过设计基于梯度的解释来更好地与人类注释保持一致，从而提供了极大的表现。

农业行业不断寻求农业生产中涉及的不同过程的自动化，例如播种，收获和杂草控制。使用移动自主机器人执行这些任务引起了极大的兴趣。耕地面向同时定位和映射（SLAM）系统（移动机器人技术的关键）面临着艰巨的挑战，这是由于视觉上的难度，这是由于高度重复的场景而引起的。近年来，已经开发了几种视觉惯性遗传（VIO）和SLAM系统。事实证明，它们在室内和室外城市环境中具有很高的准确性。但是，在农业领域未正确评估它们。在这项工作中，我们从可耕地上的准确性和处理时间方面评估了最相关的最新VIO系统，以便更好地了解它们在这些环境中的行为。特别是，该评估是在我们的车轮机器人记录的大豆领域记录的传感器数据集中进行的，该田间被公开发行为Rosario数据集。评估表明，环境的高度重复性外观，崎terrain的地形产生的强振动以及由风引起的叶子的运动，暴露了当前最新的VIO和SLAM系统的局限性。我们分析了系统故障并突出观察到的缺点，包括初始化故障，跟踪损失和对IMU饱和的敏感性。最后，我们得出的结论是，即使某些系统（例如Orb-Slam3和S-MSCKF）在其他系统方面表现出良好的结果，但应采取更多改进，以使其在某些申请中的农业领域可靠，例如作物行的土壤耕作和农药喷涂。 。
