Investigation of Enhanced Inertial Navigation Algorithms by Functional Iteration

The defects of the traditional strapdown inertial navigation algorithms become well acknowledged and the corresponding enhanced algorithms have been quite recently proposed trying to mitigate both theoretical and algorithmic defects. In this paper, the analytical accuracy evaluation of both the traditional algorithms and the enhanced algorithms is investigated, against the true reference for the first time enabled by the functional iteration approach having provable convergence. The analyses by the help of MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox show that the resultant error orders of all algorithms under investigation are consistent with those in the existing literatures, and the enhanced attitude algorithm notably reduces error orders of the traditional counterpart, while the impact of the enhanced velocity algorithm on error order reduction is insignificant. Simulation results agree with analyses that the superiority of the enhanced algorithm over the traditional one in the body-frame attitude computation scenario diminishes significantly in the entire inertial navigation computation scenario, while the functional iteration approach possesses significant accuracy superiority even under sustained lowly dynamic conditions.

iNavFIter-M: Matrix Formulation of Functional Iteration for Inertial Navigation Computation

The acquisition of attitude, velocity, and position is an essential task in the field of inertial navigation, achieved by integrating the measurements from inertial sensors. Recently, the ultra-precision inertial navigation computation has been tackled by the functional iteration approach (iNavFIter) that drives the non-commutativity errors almost to the computer truncation error level. This paper proposes a computationally efficient matrix formulation of the functional iteration approach, named the iNavFIter-M. The Chebyshev polynomial coefficients in two consecutive iterations are explicitly connected through the matrix formulation, in contrast to the implicit iterative relationship in the original iNavFIter. By so doing, it allows a straightforward algorithmic implementation and a number of matrix factors can be pre-calculated for more efficient computation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed iNavFIter-M algorithm is able to achieve the same high computation accuracy as the original iNavFIter does, at the computational cost comparable to the typical two-sample algorithm. The iNavFIter-M algorithm is also implemented on a FPGA board to demonstrate its potential in real time applications.

An experimentally validated neural-network potential energy surface for H atoms on free-standing graphene in full dimensionality

We present a first principles-quality potential energy surface (PES) describing the inter-atomic forces for hydrogen atoms interacting with free-standing graphene. The PES is a high-dimensional neural network potential that has been parameterized to 75945 data points computed with density-functional theory employing the PBE-D2 functional. Improving over a previously published PES (Jiang et al., Science, 2019, 364, 379), this neural network exhibits a realistic physisorption well and achieves a 10-fold reduction in the RMS fitting error, which is 0.6 meV/atom. We used this PES to calculate about 1.5 million classical trajectories with carefully selected initial conditions to allow for direct comparison to results of H- and D-atom scattering experiments performed at incidence translational energy of 1.9 eV and a surface temperature of 300 K. The theoretically predicted scattering angular and energy loss distributions are in good agreement with experiment, despite the fact that the experiments employed graphene grown on Pt(111). The remaining discrepancies between experiment and theory are likely due to the influence of the Pt substrate only present in the experiment.

Nuclear Quantum Effects in Scattering of H and D from Graphene

We present a detailed study of the nuclear quantum effects in H/D sticking to graphene, comparing classical, quantum and mixed quantum/classical simulations to results of scattering experiments. Agreement with experimentally derived sticking probabilities is improved when nuclear quantum effects are included using ring polymer molecular dynamics. Specifically, the quantum motion of the carbon atoms enhances sticking, showing that an accurate description of graphene phonons is important to capturing the adsorption dynamics. We also find an inverse H/D isotope effect arising from Newtonian mechanics.

Symmetry Detection of Occluded Point Cloud Using Deep Learning

Symmetry detection has been a classical problem in computer graphics, many of which using traditional geometric methods. In recent years, however, we have witnessed the arising deep learning changed the landscape of computer graphics. In this paper, we aim to solve the symmetry detection of the occluded point cloud in a deep-learning fashion. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to utilize deep learning to tackle such a problem. In such a deep learning framework, double supervisions: points on the symmetry plane and normal vectors are employed to help us pinpoint the symmetry plane. We conducted experiments on the YCB- video dataset and demonstrate the efficacy of our method.
