In scenarios where global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) and radio navigation systems are denied, vision-based autonomous landing (VAL) for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) becomes essential. Accurate and real-time runway detection in VAL is vital for providing precise positional and orientational guidance. However, existing research faces significant challenges, including insufficient accuracy, inadequate real-time performance, poor robustness, and high susceptibility to disturbances. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel single-stage, anchor-free, and decoupled vision-based runway detection framework, referred to as YOLO-RWY. First, an enhanced data augmentation (EDA) module is incorporated to perform various augmentations, enriching image diversity, and introducing perturbations that improve generalization and safety. Second, a large separable kernel attention (LSKA) module is integrated into the backbone structure to provide a lightweight attention mechanism with a broad receptive field, enhancing feature representation. Third, the neck structure is reorganized as a bidirectional feature pyramid network (BiFPN) module with skip connections and attention allocation, enabling efficient multi-scale and across-stage feature fusion. Finally, the regression loss and task-aligned learning (TAL) assigner are optimized using efficient intersection over union (EIoU) to improve localization evaluation, resulting in faster and more accurate convergence. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that YOLO-RWY achieves AP50:95 scores of 0.760, 0.611, and 0.413 on synthetic, real nominal, and real edge test sets of the landing approach runway detection (LARD) dataset, respectively. Deployment experiments on an edge device show that YOLO-RWY achieves an inference speed of 154.4 FPS under FP32 quantization with an image size of 640. The results indicate that the proposed YOLO-RWY model possesses strong generalization and real-time capabilities, enabling accurate runway detection in complex and challenging visual environments, and providing support for the onboard VAL systems of fixed-wing UAVs.

Tool wear monitoring is crucial for optimizing cutting performance, reducing costs, and improving production efficiency. Existing tool wear prediction models usually design integrated models based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) to extract spatial and temporal features separately. However, the topological structures between multi-sensor networks are ignored, and the ability to extract spatial features is limited. To overcome these limitations, a novel spatial–temporal adaptive graph convolutional network (STAGCN) is proposed to capture spatial–temporal dependencies with multi-sensor signals. First, a simple linear model is used to capture temporal patterns in individual time-series data. Second, a spatial–temporal layer composed of a bidirectional Mamba and an adaptive graph convolution is established to extract degradation features and reflect the dynamic degradation trend using an adaptive graph. Third, multi-scale triple linear attention (MTLA) is used to fuse the extracted multi-scale features across spatial, temporal, and channel dimensions, which can assign different weights adaptively to retain important information and weaken the influence of redundant features. Finally, the fused features are fed into a linear regression layer to estimate the tool wear. Experimental results conducted on the PHM2010 dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed STAGCN model, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 3.40 μm and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 4.32 μm in the average results across three datasets.
