Abstract

Extracting buildings from remote sensing imagery (RSI) is an essential task in a wide range of applications, such as urban and monitoring. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool for this purpose, and in this research, we propose an advanced building extraction method based on SE-ResNet18 and SE-ResNet34 architectures. These models were selected through a rigorous comparative analysis of various deep learning models, including variations of residual networks (ResNet), squeeze-and-excitation residual networks (SE-ResNet), and visual geometry group (VGG), for their high performance in all metrics and their computational efficiency. Our proposed methodology outperformed all other models under consideration by a significant margin, demonstrating its robustness and efficiency. It achieved superior results with less computational effort and time, a testament to its potential as a powerful tool for semantic segmentation tasks in remote sensing applications. An extensive comparative evaluation involving a wide range of state-of-the-art works further validated our method’s effectiveness. Our method achieved an unparalleled intersection over union (IoU) score of 88.51%, indicative of its exceptional accuracy in identifying and segmenting buildings within the Wuhan University (WHU) building dataset. The overall performance of our method, which offers an excellent balance between high performance and computational efficiency, makes it a compelling choice for researchers and practitioners in the field.

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic approach to optimizing the structural parameters of a 4-degree-of-freedom (DoF) strawberry harvesting manipulator to minimize its workspace. Unlike previous research that primarily concentrated on the spatial needs related to fruit distribution areas, this work addresses the spatial dynamics of different stages of the fruit-picking process. This is achieved by combining the workspace model method, mathematical modeling, and the GlobalSearch algorithm in the optimization process. A comprehensive verification was conducted using the Denavit-Hartenberg method to simulate the workspace of the optimal manipulator structure. This ensured that the manipulator effectively covered the entire harvesting space. The research design involves exploring an optimal trajectory planning method by adopting a modified sine jerk profile that minimizes overall trajectory duration while maintaining good smoothness. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated through a simulation of the trajectory of the four joints to drive the end effector from the initial position to the position of the strawberry. This approach yields execution times up to 27% shorter than in previous studies. The proposed method is useful for optimizing the physical and trajectory design of the harvesting manipulator that operates in confined and restricted environments to enhance efficiency, adaptability, and safety in harvesting operations.
