Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability widely exists in nature and engineering fields. How to better understand the physical mechanism of RT instability is of great theoretical significance and practical value. At present, abundant results of RT instability have been obtained by traditional macroscopic methods. However, research on the thermodynamic non-equilibrium (TNE) effects in the process of system evolution is relatively scarce. In this paper, the discrete Boltzmann method based on non-equilibrium statistical physics is utilized to study the effects of the specific heat ratio on compressible RT instability. The evolution process of the compressible RT system with different specific heat ratios can be analyzed by the temperature gradient and the proportion of the non-equilibrium region. Firstly, as a result of the competition between the macroscopic magnitude gradient and the non-equilibrium region, the average TNE intensity first increases and then reduces, and it increases with the specific heat ratio decreasing; the specific heat ratio has the same effect on the global strength of the viscous stress tensor. Secondly, the moment when the total temperature gradient in y direction deviates from the fixed value can be regarded as a physical criterion for judging the formation of the vortex structure. Thirdly, under the competition between the temperature gradients and the contact area of the two fluids, the average intensity of the non-equilibrium quantity related to the heat flux shows diversity, and the influence of the specific heat ratio is also quite remarkable.

Within the area of environmental perception, automatic navigation, object detection, and computer vision are crucial and demanding fields with many applications in modern industries, such as multi-target long-term visual tracking in automated production, defect detection, and driverless robotic vehicles. The performance of computer vision has greatly improved recently thanks to developments in deep learning algorithms and hardware computing capabilities, which have spawned the creation of a large number of related applications. At the same time, with the rapid increase in autonomous systems in the market, energy consumption has become an increasingly critical issue in computer vision and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms. This paper presents the results of a detailed review of over 100 papers published over the course of two decades (1999–2024), with a primary focus on the technical advancement in computer vision. To elucidate the foundational principles, an examination of typical visual algorithms based on traditional correlation filtering was initially conducted. Subsequently, a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art advancements in deep learning-based computer vision techniques was compiled. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of conventional and novel algorithms was undertaken to discuss the future trends and directions of computer vision. Lastly, the feasibility of employing visual SLAM algorithms in the context of autonomous vehicles was explored. Additionally, in the context of intelligent robots for low-carbon, unmanned factories, we discussed model optimization techniques such as pruning and quantization, highlighting their importance in enhancing energy efficiency. We conducted a comprehensive comparison of the performance and energy consumption of various computer vision algorithms, with a detailed exploration of how to balance these factors and a discussion of potential future development trends.

This paper introduces an optimization method for multi-robot automated control welding based on a Particle Swarm Genetic Algorithm (PSGA), aiming to address issues such as high costs, large footprint, and excessive production cycles in multi-robot welding production lines. The method first constructs a multi-axis robotic kinematic model to provide constraint conditions. Then, the PSO (particle swarm optimization) algorithm, which integrates penalty functions into the fitness evaluation, is used to determine the optimal welding path by simulating collective behavior within a group. The GA (genetic algorithm) encodes the position of the welding robot bases into chromosomes to find the optimal layout for coordinated control of multiple robots. The entire process is optimized according to welding standards and requirements. Additionally, a comprehensive production line performance estimation model was used to quantitatively analyze the new scheme. The results show that the optimized production line’s balance rate increased by 10%, the balance loss rate decreased by 10%, the smoothness index increased by 37.8%, the space costs reduced by 44.4%, the equipment demand reduced by 41.1%, the labor demand reduced by 50%, the total costs reduced by 10%, and the average product cycle time was reduced by 5.07 s. Finally, we tested the algorithm in various complex scenarios and compared its performance against mainstream algorithms within the context of this study. The results demonstrated that the optimized production line significantly improved efficiency while maintaining safety standards.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continue to advance, the integration of massive devices into wireless networks for communication, sensing, and energy harvesting tasks is becoming increasingly prevalent. This trend has led to the emergence of Integrated Sensing, Communication, and Power Transmission (ISCPT) systems. However, with the proliferation of functionalities within these systems, power consumption has become a critical concern. In this paper we aim to minimize power consumption by optimizing transmit beamforming while ensuring quality of service (QoS), meeting the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) for radar target sensing accuracy, subject to energy harvesting constraints. To solve the non-convex problem, semidefinite relaxation (SDR) is proposed. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithm can reduce power consumption and satisfy the QoS and CRB constraints.

The precise detection of liquid flow and viscosity is a crucial challenge in industrial processes and environmental monitoring due to the variety of liquid samples and the complex reflective properties of energetic liquids. Traditional methods often struggle to maintain accuracy under such conditions. This study addresses the complexity arising from sample diversity and the reflective properties of energetic liquids by introducing a novel model based on computer vision and deep learning. We propose the DBN-AGS-FLSS, an integrated deep learning model for high-precision, real-time liquid surface pointer detection. The model combines Deep Belief Networks (DBN), Feedback Least-Squares SVM classifiers (FLSS), and Adaptive Genetic Selectors (AGS). Enhanced by bilateral filtering and adaptive contrast enhancement algorithms, the model significantly improves image clarity and detection accuracy. The use of a feedback mechanism for reverse judgment dynamically optimizes model parameters, enhancing system accuracy and robustness. The model achieved an accuracy, precision, F1 score, and recall of 99.37%, 99.36%, 99.16%, and 99.36%, respectively, with an inference speed of only 1.5 ms/frame. Experimental results demonstrate the model’s superior performance across various complex detection scenarios, validating its practicality and reliability. This study opens new avenues for industrial applications, especially in real-time monitoring and automated systems, and provides valuable reference for future advancements in computer vision-based detection technologies.
