Wang, Guozhi (author), Pei, Binbin (author), Xu, Haojun (author), Lv, Maolong (author), Zhao, Z. (author), Bu, Xiangwei (author)This paper proposes a flight risk analysis method that combines risk assessment and visual deduction to study the causes of flight accidents, specifically the loss of control caused by failure factors. The goal is to explore the impact of these failure factors on loss-of-control events and illustrate the risk evolution under different scenarios...journal article 2023

Xu, Z. (author), Ye, G. (author)One of the key problems that affect the durability of reinforced concrete structures is the corrosion of rebar induced by chloride. Despite the complicated transport mechanism of chloride ions in cementitious materials, diffusion is still the key mechanism of chloride ingress. The determination of the chloride diffusion coefficient will help to...journal article 2023

Xie, Weiming (author), Sun, J. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Xu, Fan (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Ji, Hongyu (author), Fan, Yaoshen (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), He, Qing (author)Coastal tidal flats provide valuable ecosystems, but are highly sensitive to tidal dynamics, sea-level rise, and human activities. Tidal inundation depth and frequency are known to affect tidal flat morphodynamics. However, the causes, processes and extent remain uncertain, particularly given the associated changes in sediment availability. In...journal article 2023

Xu, Y. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)In this paper, we propose a learning-based lightweight visual-inertial odometry (VIO) based on an uncertainty-aware pose network and an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The pose network serving as the VIO vision front-end predicts the relative motion of the camera between consecutive image frames and estimates the prediction uncertainty. The...conference paper 2023

Xu, Y. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)When deployed onboard micro air vehicles (MAVs) with limited processing power, visual ego-motion estimation solutions face an efficiency-accuracy trade-off. This paper proposes an aerodynamic-model-aided approach that emphasizes time efficiency over estimation accuracy. A linear drag force model of propellers guarantees bounded estimation errors...conference paper 2023

Wan, Z. (author), Chang, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)In this paper, optimization of vascular structure of self-healing concrete is performed with deep neural network (DNN). An input representation method is proposed to effectively represent the concrete beams with 6 round pores in the middle span as well as benefit the optimization process. To investigate the feasibility of using DNN for...journal article 2023
