Relevant experience learning: A deep reinforcement learning method for UAV autonomous motion planning in complex unknown environments

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play a vital role in military warfare. In a variety of battlefield mission scenarios, UAVs are required to safely fly to designated locations without human intervention. Therefore, finding a suitable method to solve the UAV Autonomous Motion Planning (AMP) problem can improve the success rate of UAV missions to a certain extent. In recent years, many studies have used Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods to address the AMP problem and have achieved good results. From the perspective of sampling, this paper designs a sampling method with double-screening, combines it with the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm, and proposes the Relevant Experience Learning-DDPG (REL-DDPG) algorithm. The REL-DDPG algorithm uses a Prioritized Experience Replay (PER) mechanism to break the correlation of continuous experiences in the experience pool, finds the experiences most similar to the current state to learn according to the theory in human education, and expands the influence of the learning process on action selection at the current state. All experiments are applied in a complex unknown simulation environment constructed based on the parameters of a real UAV. The training experiments show that REL-DDPG improves the convergence speed and the convergence result compared to the state-of-the-art DDPG algorithm, while the testing experiments show the applicability of the algorithm and investigate the performance under different parameter conditions.

LEVEL DECISION-MAKING FOR AERO-ENGINE MODULES BASED ON INCREMENTAL KNOWLEDGE LEARNING

The maintenance of an aero-engine usually includes three levels, and the maintenance cost and period greatly differ depending on the different maintenance levels. To plan a reasonable maintenance budget program, airlines would like to predict the maintenance level of aero-engine before repairing in terms of performance parame- ters, which can provide more economic benefits. The maintenance level decision rules are mined using the histori- cal maintenance data of a civil aero-engine based on the rough set theory, and a variety of possible models of upda- ting rules produced by newly increased maintenance cases added to the historical maintenance case database are in- vestigated by the means of incremental machine learning. The continuously updated rules can provide reasonable guidance suggestions for engineers and decision support for planning a maintenance budget program before repai- ring. The results of an example show that the decision rules become more typical and robust, and they are more accurate to predict the maintenance level of an aero-engine module as the maintenance data increase, which illus- trates the feasibility of the represented method.

Aerial-BiSeNet: A real-time semantic segmentation network for high resolution aerial imagery

The aircraft system has recently gained its reputation as a reliable and efficient tool for sensing and parsing aerial scenes. However, accurate and fast semantic segmentation of high-resolution aerial images for remote sensing applications is still facing three challenges: the requirements for limited processing resources and low-latency operations based on aerial platforms, the balance between high accuracy and real-time efficiency for model performance, and the confusing objects with large intra-class variations and small inter-class differences in high-resolution aerial images. To address these issues, a lightweight and dual-path deep convolutional architecture, namely Aerial Bilateral Segmentation Network (Aerial-BiSeNet), is proposed to perform real-time segmentation on high-resolution aerial images with favorable accuracy. Specifically, inspired by the receptive field concept in human visual systems, Receptive Field Module (RFM) is proposed to encode rich multi-scale contextual information. Based on channel attention mechanism, two novel modules, called Feature Attention Module (FAM) and Channel Attention based Feature Fusion Module (CAFFM) respectively, are proposed to refine and combine features effectively to boost the model performance. Aerial-BiSeNet is evaluated on the Potsdam and Vaihingen datasets, where leading performance is reported compared with other state-of-the-art models, in terms of both accuracy and efficiency.
