Phase unwrapping based on deep learning in light field fringe projection 3D measurement

Phase unwrapping is one of the key roles in fringe projection three-dimensional(3D)measurement technology.We propose a new method to achieve phase unwrapping in camera array light filed fringe projection 3D measurement based on deep learning.A multi-stream convolutional neural network(CNN)is proposed to learn the mapping relationship between camera array light filed wrapped phases and fringe orders of the expected central view,and is used to predict the fringe order to achieve the phase unwrapping.Experiments are performed on the light field fringe projection data generated by the simulated camera array fringe projection measurement system in Blender and by the experimental 3×3 camera array light field fringe projection system.The performance of the proposed network with light field wrapped phases using multiple directions as network input data is studied,and the advantages of phase unwrapping based on deep learning in light filed fringe projection are demonstrated.

Towards a multi-agent reinforcement learning approach for joint sensing and sharing in cognitive radio networks

The adoption of the Fifth Generation(5G)and beyond 5G networks is driving the demand for learning approaches that enable users to co-exist harmoniously in a multi-user distributed environment.Although resource-constrained,the Cognitive Radio(CR)has been identified as a key enabler of distributed 5G and beyond networks due to its cognitive abilities and ability to access idle spectrum opportunistically.Reinforcement learning is well suited to meet the demand for learning in 5G and beyond 5G networks because it does not require the learning agent to have prior information about the environment in which it operates.Intuitively,CRs should be enabled to implement reinforcement learning to efficiently gain opportunistic access to spectrum and co-exist with each other.However,the application of reinforcement learning is straightforward in a single-agent environment and complex and resource intensive in a multi-agent and multi-objective learning environment.In this paper,(1)we present a brief history and overview of reinforcement learning and its limitations;(2)we provide a review of recent multi-agent learning methods proposed and multi-agent learning algorithms applied in Cognitive Radio(CR)networks;and(3)we further present a novel framework for multi-CR reinforcement learning and conclude with a synopsis of future research directions and recommendations.
