Instance segmentation is an important pre-processing task in numerous real-world applications, such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and human–computer interaction. Compared with the rapid development of deep learning for two-dimensional (2D) image tasks, learning-based instance 3D point cloud still has a lot room development. In particular, distinguishing large number occluded objects same cl...

Prepared as part of a research project titled " The Importance of Clusters to Urban and Regional Prosperity in a Globalised Economy " , coordinated by L'institute ABSTRACT Since the 1980s, the emergence of clusters of firms and industrial districts has inspired a large amount of literature on the subject. Most of the research has focused on analysing how these agglomerations of firms embedded i...

This paper combines input–output analysis with non-negative matrix factorization analysis widely used in the image segmentation and attempts to find the target industrial groups (industrial clusters) in Japan that have intensive CO 2 emissions. We generalized the industrial cluster analysis proposed by Kagawa et al. (2012) to identify environmentally-important industrial clusters from the entir...

I applied well-known hierarchical clustering algorithms to datasets of workstation activity during fiveminute intervals recorded over periods of time ranging from 9 days to one month. I grouped together workstations into ventilation subsystems based on the usage data as well as static pressure values measured in the factories. In simulations, I achieved significant energy savings even when the ...

In this paper, an industrial MPC performance monitoring technology is introduced with a focus on the industrial implementation. A plant-oriented framework for APC performance monitoring is proposed on the basis of industrial computer control systems background. A software package integrating this technology, which is called Performance Analysis Toolbox and Solutions (PATS), is introduced. The m...

A Wireless sensor network is an infrastructure comprised of sensing (measuring), computing, and communication elements that gives an administrator the ability to instrument, observe, and react to events and phenomena in a specified environment. The administrator typically is a civil, governmental, commercial, or industrial entity. The environment can be the physical world, a biological system, ...

Wireless sensor networks have enticed much of the spotlight from researchers all around the world, owing to its extensive applicability in agricultural, industrial and military fields. Energy conservation node deployment stratagems play a notable role for active implementation of Wireless Sensor Networks. Clustering is the approach in wireless sensor networks which improves energy efficiency in...

Since the Green Deal, ambitious climate and resource neutrality goals have been set in Europe. Here, process industries hold a unique position due to their energy material transformation capabilities. They are encouraged develop cross-sectorial hubs for achieving not only ambition, but also joining circular economy through urban–industrial symbiosis with both business community stakeholders. Th...
