Visual place recognition is one of the essential and challenging problems in the fields of robotics. In this letter, we for the first time explore the use of multi-modal fusion of semantic and visual modalities in dynamics-invariant space to improve place recognition in dynamic environments. We achieve this by first designing a novel deep learning architecture to generate the static semantic segmentation and recover the static image directly from the corresponding dynamic image. 

In this letter, we consider Bayesian parameterestimation using mixed-resolution data consisting of both analog and 1-bit quantized measurements. We investigate the use of the partially linear minimum mean-squared-error (PL-MMSE) estimator for this mixed-resolution scheme. The use of the PL-MMSE estimator, proposed for general models with “straightforward” and “complicated” parts, has not been demonstrated for quantized data. 

With the wide vision and high flexibility, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used into object tracking in recent years. However, its limited computing capability poses a great challenges to tracking algorithms. On the other hand, Discriminative Correlation Filter (DCF) based trackers have attracted great attention due to their computational efficiency and superior accuracy. Many studies introduce spatial and temporal regularization into the DCF framework to achieve a more robust appearance model and further enhance the tracking performance. However, such algorithms generally set fixed spatial or temporal regularization parameters, which lack flexibility and adaptability under cluttered and challenging scenarios.

Cross Z-complementary pairs (CZCPs) are a special kind of Z-complementary pairs having zero autocorrelation sums around the in-phase position and end-shift position, also having zero cross-correlation sums around the end-shift position. Recent results have shown that CZCPs are very efficient in designing pilot sequences for spatial modulation enabled multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, we propose systematic constructions of binary and quadriphase CZCPs with new lengths of the form 2M, where even-length binary Z-complementary pairs of length M exists.

Congruent Procrustes analysis aims to find the best matching between two point sets through rotation, reflection and translation. We formulate the Procrustes problem for hyperbolic spaces, review the canonical definition of the center mass for a point set, and give a closed-form solution for the optimal isometry between noise-free point sets. Our algorithm is analogous to the Euclidean Procrustes analysis, with centering and rotation replaced by their hyperbolic counterparts. 

Point Clouds (PCs) have recently been adopted as the preferred data structure for representing 3D visual contents. Examples of Point Cloud (PC) applications range from 3D representations of small objects up to large scenes, both still or dynamic in time. PC adoption triggered the development of new coding, transmission, and display methodologies that culminated in new international standards for PC compression. 

Video inpainting aims to fill missing regions with plausible content in a video sequence. Deep learning-based video inpainting methods have made promising progress over the past few years. However, these methods tend to generate degraded completion content, such as missing textural details.

Previous works about linguistic steganography such as synonym substitution and sampling-based methods usually manipulate observed symbols explicitly to conceal secret information, which may give rise to security risks. In this letter, in order to preclude straightforward operation on observed symbols, we explored generation-based linguistic steganography in latent space by means of encoding secret messages in the selection of implicit attributes (semanteme) of natural language.

Traffic flow prediction is a challenging task while most existing works are faced with two main problems in extracting complicated intrinsic and extrinsic features. In terms of intrinsic features, current methods don't fully exploit different functions of short-term neighboring and long-term periodic temporal patterns.

Consider a robust multiple-input single-output downlink beamforming optimization problem in a frequency division duplexing system. The base station (BS) sends training signals to the users, and every user estimates the channel coefficients, quantizes the gain and the direction of the estimated channel and sends them back to the BS.
