Simulation von Laserscannern in Pflanzenbeständen für die Entwicklung umfeldbasierter Funktionen
(2018)
Es werden drei Modellierungsansätze zur Simulation von Laserscannern in Pflanzenbeständen für die Entwicklung umfeldbasierter Fahrzeugfunktionen beschrieben. Das Sensorsignal der Distanzmessung wird dabei anhand realer Messwerte oder phänomenologisch und auf der Basis empirisch ermittelter Kennwerte in Abhängigkeit von objekt- und sensorspezifischen Einflussfaktoren abgebildet. Basierend auf den Methoden zur Simulation von Distanzmesssystemen der Open Source Simulationsumgebung Gazebo wurden die Modellierungsansätze als spezifische Sensor- und Umfeldmodelle implementiert. Die Modelle wurden insbesondere für den Einsatz an mobilen landwirtschaftlichen Arbeitsmaschinen und für die Anwendung in der Getreideernte optimiert.
This paper describes the development and test of a novel LiDAR based combine harvester steering system using a harvest scenario and sensor point cloud simulation together with an established simulation toolchain for embedded software development. For a realistic sensor behavior simulation, considering the harvesting environment and the sensor mounting position, a phenomenological approach was chosen to build a multilayer LiDAR model at system level in Gazebo and ROS. A software-in-the-loop simulation of the mechatronic steering system was assembled by interfacing the commercial AppBase framework for point cloud processing and feature detection algorithms together with a machine model and control functions implemented in MATLAB/ Simulink. A test of ECUs in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation and as well as HMI elements in a driver-in-the-loop simulation was achieved by using CAN hardware interfaces and a CANoe based restbus simulation.
This article proposes the concept of a simulation framework for environmental sensors with multilevel abstraction in agricultural scenarios. The implementation case study is a simulation of a grain-harvesting scenario enabled by LiDAR sensors. Environmental sensor models as well as kinematics and dynamic behavior of machines are based on the robotics simulator Gazebo. Models for powertrain, machine process aggregates and peripheral simulation components are implemented with the help of MATLAB/ Simulink and with the robotics middleware Robot Operating System (ROS). This article deals with the general concept of a multilevel simulation framework and in particular with sensor and environmental modeling.
This paper presents an optimized algorithm for estimating static and dynamic gait parameters. We use a marker- and contact-less motion capture system that identifies 20 joints of a person walking along a corridor.
Based on the proposed gait cycle detection basic metrics as walking frequency, step/stride length, and support phases are estimated automatically. Applying a rigid body model, we are capable to calculate static and dynamic gait stability metrics. We conclude with initial results of a clinical study evaluating orthopaedic technical support.
In der Schriftenreihe „Voneinander Lehren lernen“, die vom LearningCenter der Hochschule Osnabrück herausgegeben wird, werden anwendungsbezogene Beiträge zur Qualitätsentwicklung in Studium und Lehre publiziert.
Die Schriftenreihe ist an das hochschuldidaktische Konzept des „Scholarship of Teaching and Learning“ angelehnt. Demnach soll sie insbesondere den Fachlehrenden aller Studiengänge als Plattform dienen, um ihre eigenen Erfahrungen, Ideen und Konzepte zur Lehr- und Studiengangentwicklung systematisch zu reflektieren und entsprechende Erkenntnisse für andere nutzbar zu machen. Ziel ist es, den Diskurs über hochschuldidaktische Themen in die Fächer zu tragen und so nachhaltig zu einer hohen Qualität der Lehr-Lernprozesse in den Studiengängen beizutragen. Ergänzt werden die Texte der Fachlehrenden um Beiträge von Mitarbeiter*innen der im Bereich Studium und Lehre tätigen Organisationseinheiten.
Die Schriftenreihe ist eng an das Lehrkolleg der Hochschule Osnabrück gekoppelt. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Angebotsformat des LearningCenters, in dem Professor*innen und Lehrkräfte für besondere Aufgaben die Möglichkeit haben, unter hochschuldidaktischer Begleitung innovative Lehrentwicklungsprojekte in ihren eigenen Lehrveranstaltungen und Modulen umzusetzen. Der erste Band der Schriftenreihe enthält Beiträge von Teilnehmer*innen des Lehrkollegs 2018, in dem verschiedene Entwicklungsprojekte zur Förderung von Kompetenzen für selbstreguliertes Lernen durchgeführt wurden.

Optimised Nutrient Recovery from Biogas Digestate by Solid/Liquid Separation and Membrane Treatment
(2019)
Anaerobic digestion products of agricultural biogas plants are characterised by high nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content. In three scale-up steps, a membrane based digestate treatment process of solid-liquid-separation, ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis for nutrient recovery was investigated. Lab-scale trials delivered a very good understanding of fluid properties and subsequent ultrafiltration performance, which is the limiting process step in terms of energy demand and operation costs. In semi-technical experiments, optimisation, and design parameters were developed, which were subsequently applied to pilot-scale tests at two full-scale biogas plants. The process optimisation resulted in 50 % energy reduction of the ultrafiltration step. About 36 % of the sludge volume was recovered as dischargeable water, 20 % as solid N/P-fertiliser, and 44 % as liquid N/K-fertiliser.
We describe an automated approach, to easily track patients regaining their walking ability while recovering from neurological diseases like e.g. stroke. Based on captured gait data and objective measures derived out of it the rehabilitation process can be optimized and thus steered. In order to apply such system in clinical practice two key requirements have to be fulfilled: (i) the system needs to be applicable in terms of ease of use and performance; (ii) the derived measures need to be accurate.
The usage of high-level synthesis (HLS) tools for FPGAs has increased significantly over the last years since they matured and allow software programmers to take advantage of reconfigurable hardware technology.
Most HLS tools employ methods to optimize for loops, e. g. by unrolling or pipelining them. But there is hardly any work on the optimization of while loops. This comes at no surprise since most while loops have loop-carried dependences involving the loop condition which result in large recurrence cycles in the dataflow graphs. Therefore typical while loops cannot be parallelized or pipelined.
We propose a novel transformation which allows to optimize while loops nested within a for loop. By interchanging the two loops, it is possible to pipeline (and thereby parallelize) the inner loop, resulting in a reduced execution time. We present two case studies on different hardware platforms and show the speedup factors - compared to a host processor and to an unoptimized hardware implementation - achieved by our while loop optimization method.
