Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to emerging technology in Artificial Intelligence and Electric Vehicles, integrated micro/nano-electromechanical sensors and systems with intelligent algorithm represent an area of intense research – intelligent microdevices. Various algorithms such as anomality detection, predictive maintenance, remaining useful lifetime prediction, etc., are part of the desired design features of intelligent microdevices. 

One of the most interesting applications concerns the development of intelligent microdevices aimed at self-calibrating (e.g. for processes, temperature, power supply) within sophisticated sensorial systems.

Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in the field of fabrication of micro/nano-electromechanical systems and the design of the related smart electronics.

Lane detection is an important and challenging part of autonomous driver assistance systems and other advanced assistance systems. The presence of road potholes and obstacles, complex road environments (illumination, occlusion, etc.) are ubiquitous, will cause the blur of images, which is captured by the vision perception system in the lane detection task. To improve the lane detection accuracy of blurred images, a network (Lane-GAN) for lane line detection is proposed in the paper, which is robust to blurred images. First, real and complex blur kernels are simulated to construct a blurred image dataset, and the improved GAN network is used to reinforce the lane features of the blurred image, and finally the feature information is further enriched with a recurrent feature transfer aggregator. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed network can get robust detection results in complex environments, especially for blurred lane lines. Compared with the SOTA detector, the proposed detector achieves a larger gain. The proposed method can enhance the lane detail features of the blurred image, improving the detection accuracy of the blurred lane effectively, in the driver assistance system in high speed and complex road conditions.
