Benchmark dataset on feeding intensity of the pearl gentian grouper(Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀×E. lanceolatus♂) by Haijing Qin, Yunchen Tian, Jianing Quan, Xueqi Cong, Qingfei Li, Jinzhu Sui

“…Although the deep learning-based fish feeding intensity assessment model has higher recognition accuracy and better robustness, the conventional differentiation of feeding intensity usually relies on manual experience to divide the feeding intensity dataset, which is subjective and uncertain, and the annotation is observed by the aquaculture experienced personnel to increase the labor and time cost. In order to solve these problems, this study constructs a benchmark dataset of the feeding intensity of pearl gentian groupers in a factory circulating water environment, which is divided into feeding fish groups and fish aggregation areas by training Unet semantic segmentation network and compares standard clustering algorithms through clustering evaluation indexes to maximally select the optimal clustering method and the number of clusters that are suitable for this paper's dataset. …”

Simplified Pedestrian Tracking Filters with Positioning and Foot-Mounted Inertial Sensors by Henar Martin, Juan A. Besada, Ana M. Bernardos, Eduardo Metola, José R. Casar

“…Pedestrian tracking is one of the bases for many ubiquitous context-aware services, but it is still an open issue in indoor environments or when GPS estimations are not optimal. In this paper, we propose two novel different data fusion algorithms to track a pedestrian using current positioning technologies (i.e., GPS, received signal strength localization from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth networks, etc.) and low cost inertial sensors. …”
