TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive survey on UAV networks from a CPS perspective is presented, where three interacted CPS components, i.e., communication, computation and control, are analyzed.
Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks are playing an important role in various areas due to their agility and versatility, which have attracted significant attentions from both the academia and industry in recent years. As an integration of embedded systems with communication devices, computation capabilities and control modules, the UAV network could build a closed loop from data perceiving, information exchanging, decision making to the final execution, which tightly integrates cyber processes into physical devices. Therefore, the UAV network could be considered as a cyber physical system (CPS). Revealing coupling effects among the three interacted CPS components, i.e., communication, computation and control, is envisioned as the key to properly utilize all available resources and hence improve the performance of the UAV network. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on UAV networks from a CPS perspective. Firstly, we review the basics and advances of the three CPS components in UAV networks. Then we look inside to investigate how these components contribute to the system performance by classifying UAV networks into three hierarchies, i.e., cell level, system level, and system of system level. Furthermore, the coupling effects among these CPS components are explicitly illustrated, which could be enlightening to deal with the challenges in each individual aspect. New research directions and open issues are discussed at the end of this survey. With this intensive literature review, we intend to provide a novel insight into the state of the art in UAV networks.

01 Jun 2018TL;DR: This work develops a convolutional-recursive auto-encoder comprised of structure parsing of a 2D image followed by structure recovering of a cuboid hierarchy, which achieves unprecedentedly faithful and detailed recovery of diverse 3D part structures from single-view 2D images.
Abstract: We propose to recover 3D shape structures from single RGB images, where structure refers to shape parts represented by cuboids and part relations encompassing connectivity and symmetry. Given a single 2D image with an object depicted, our goal is automatically recover a cuboid structure of the object parts as well as their mutual relations. We develop a convolutional-recursive auto-encoder comprised of structure parsing of a 2D image followed by structure recovering of a cuboid hierarchy. The encoder is achieved by a multi-scale convolutional network trained with the task of shape contour estimation, thereby learning to discern object structures in various forms and scales. The decoder fuses the features of the structure parsing network and the original image, and recursively decodes a hierarchy of cuboids. Since the decoder network is learned to recover part relations including connectivity and symmetry explicitly, the plausibility and generality of part structure recovery can be ensured. The two networks are jointly trained using the training data of contour-mask and cuboid-structure pairs. Such pairs are generated by rendering stock 3D CAD models coming with part segmentation. Our method achieves unprecedentedly faithful and detailed recovery of diverse 3D part structures from single-view 2D images. We demonstrate two applications of our method including structure-guided completion of 3D volumes reconstructed from single-view images and structure-aware interactive editing of 2D images.

TL;DR: This article proposes a UAV-aided data collection design to gather data from a number of ground users (GUs) to minimize the total mission time and proposes a segment-based trajectory optimization algorithm (STOA) to avoid repeat travel and a group-based trajectories Optimization algorithm (GTOA) in large-scale high-density GU deployment to relieve massive computation introduced by STOA.
Abstract: Due to the flexibility in 3-D space and high probability of line-of-sight (LoS) in air-to-ground communications, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been considered as means to support energy-efficient data collection. However, in emergency applications, the mission completion time should be main concerns. In this article, we propose a UAV-aided data collection design to gather data from a number of ground users (GUs). The objective is to optimize the UAV’s trajectory, altitude, velocity, and data links with GUs to minimize the total mission time. However, the difficulty lies in that the formulated time minimization problem has mutual effect with trajectory variables. To tackle this issue, we first transform the original problem equivalently to the trajectory length problem and then decompose the problem into three subproblems: 1) altitude optimization; 2) trajectory optimization; and 3) velocity and link scheduling optimization. In the altitude optimization, the aim is to maximize the transmission region of GUs which can benefit trajectory designing; then, in the trajectory optimization, we propose a segment-based trajectory optimization algorithm (STOA) to avoid repeat travel; besides, we also propose a group-based trajectory optimization algorithm (GTOA) in large-scale high-density GU deployment to relieve massive computation introduced by STOA. Then, the velocity and link scheduling optimization is modeled as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) and block coordinate descent (BCD) is employed to solve it. Simulations show that both STOA and GTOA achieve shorter trajectory compared with the existing algorithm and GTOA has less computational complexity; besides, the proposed time minimization design is valid by comparing to the benchmark scheme.

06 Nov 2017TL;DR: A HiErarchical ATtention (HEAT) network for aspect-level sentiment classification is proposed, which better allocates appropriate sentiment expressions for a given aspect benefiting from the guidance of aspect terms.
Abstract: Aspect-level sentiment classification is a fine-grained sentiment analysis task, which aims to predict the sentiment of a text in different aspects. One key point of this task is to allocate the appropriate sentiment words for the given aspect.Recent work exploits attention neural networks to allocate sentiment words and achieves the state-of-the-art performance. However, the prior work only attends to the sentiment information and ignores the aspect-related information in the text, which may cause mismatching between the sentiment words and the aspects when an unrelated sentiment word is semantically meaningful for the given aspect. To solve this problem, we propose a HiErarchical ATtention (HEAT) network for aspect-level sentiment classification. The HEAT network contains a hierarchical attention module, consisting of aspect attention and sentiment attention. The aspect attention extracts the aspect-related information to guide the sentiment attention to better allocate aspect-specific sentiment words of the text. Moreover, the HEAT network supports to extract the aspect terms together with aspect-level sentiment classification by introducing the Bernoulli attention mechanism. To verify the proposed method, we conduct experiments on restaurant and laptop review data sets from SemEval at both the sentence level and the review level. The experimental results show that our model better allocates appropriate sentiment expressions for a given aspect benefiting from the guidance of aspect terms. Moreover, our method achieves better performance on aspect-level sentiment classification than state-of-the-art models.
