Trajectory Tracking Using Frenet Coordinates with Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient

This paper studies the application of the DDPG algorithm in trajectory-tracking tasks and proposes a trajectorytracking control method combined with Frenet coordinate system. By converting the vehicle's position and velocity information from the Cartesian coordinate system to Frenet coordinate system, this method can more accurately describe the vehicle's deviation and travel distance relative to the center line of the road. The DDPG algorithm adopts the Actor-Critic framework, uses deep neural networks for strategy and value evaluation, and combines the experience replay mechanism and target network to improve the algorithm's stability and data utilization efficiency. Experimental results show that the DDPG algorithm based on Frenet coordinate system performs well in trajectory-tracking tasks in complex environments, achieves high-precision and stable path tracking, and demonstrates its application potential in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems. Keywords- DDPG; path tracking; robot navigation

Artistic Neural Style Transfer Algorithms with Activation Smoothing

The works of Gatys et al. demonstrated the capability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in creating artistic style images. This process of transferring content images in different styles is called Neural Style Transfer (NST). In this paper, we re-implement image-based NST, fast NST, and arbitrary NST. We also explore to utilize ResNet with activation smoothing in NST. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that smoothing transformation can greatly improve the quality of stylization results.
