In this paper, we propose an end-to-end autoencoder communication system based on Deep Residual Shrinkage Networks (DRSNs), where neural networks (DNNs) are used to implement the coding, decoding, modulation and demodulation functions of the communication system. Our proposed autoencoder communication system can better reduce the signal noise by adding an “attention mechanism” and “soft thresholding” modules and has better performance at various signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Also, we have shown through comparative experiments that the system can operate at moderate block lengths and support different throughputs. It has been shown to work efficiently in the AWGN channel. Simulation results show that our model has a higher Bit-Error-Rate (BER) gain and greatly improved decoding performance compared to conventional modulation and classical autoencoder systems at various signal-to-noise ratios.展开更多

In this paper, a stereo-vision system was attached to the front of Large Good Vehicles (LGVs) with a view to presenting live feeds of vehicles close to the LGV vehicles and their distance away. The captured road images using the stereo vision system were optimized for effectiveness and optimal vehicle maneuvering using a modified metaheuristics algorithm called the simulated annealing Ant Colony Optimization (saACO) algorithm. The concept of simulated annealing is strategies used to automatically select the control parameters of the ACO algorithm. This helps to stabilize the performance of the ACO algorithm irrespective of the quality of the lane images captured in the in-vehicle vision system. The system is capable of notifying drivers through lane detection techniques of blind spots. This technique enables the driver to be more aware of what surrounds the vehicle and make decisions early. In order to test the system, the stereo-vision device was mounted on a Large good vehicle, driven in Zaria (a city in Kaduna state in Nigeria), and data were in the record. Out of 180 events, 42.22% of potential accident events were caused by Passenger Cars, while 27.22%, 18.33% and 12.22% were caused by two-wheelers, Large Good Vehicles and road users, respectively. In the same vein, the in-vehicle lane detection system shows a good performance of the saACO-based lane detection system and gives a better performance in comparison with the standard ACO method.展开更多
