Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To promote the communication and development in the research domain of Aerospace Science and Engineering, the “Applied Sciences” launched a Special Issue on “Hybrid Intelligence in Aerospace Science and Engineering”. Hybrid intelligence is defined as the combination of human and machine intelligent, augmenting their capacities and achieving goals that were unreachable by either humans or machines. With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, intelligent methods and devices have been extensively employed in all facets of aircraft design, manufacturing, and control, etc. However, the accessibility of intelligent systems that are both computationally efficient and reliable in decision-making, while also being independent of expensive equipment, remains an open question. One of the significant ways to track this question is through the human-assisted intelligent system. The main hybrid intelligent research is as follows: how to build adaptive intelligent systems that augment rather than replace human intelligence, leverage their strengths, and compensate for their weaknesses while take into account domain guidelines, system safety, efficiency and human load considerations.

The Special Issue of “Hybrid Intelligence in Aerospace Science and Engineering” is aimed at aerospace-science-related aircraft design and manufacturing, human-machine interaction, human-machine shared control and the evaluation methods of HI systems. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Collaborative Hybrid Intelligence for aircraft design;
  2. Collaborative Hybrid Intelligence for aircraft manufacturing;
  3. Computer aided design;
  4. Machine learning for fluid mechanics;
  5. Human-in-the-loop machine learning;
  6. Human-machine interaction technologies;
  7. Decision fusion;
  8. Shared control;
  9. Continue Learning;
  10. Explainable Hybrid Intelligence;
  11. Uncertainty in Hybrid Intelligence

The simulation of external heat flow has a pivotal role in the vacuum thermal test of spacecraft. The key to simulating the external heat flow of a spacecraft through an infrared heating cage lies in the calculation of radiative heat transfer, and existing Monte Carlo simulation methods for simulating the external heat flow of an infrared heating cage have the disadvantages of complicated modeling and slow calculation speed. In this paper, we consider the spacecraft and infrared cage spacing, partition height, partition arc length, curvature, circumferential relationship, radial relationship, and other variables. The particle swarm optimization–support vector regression (PSO-SVR) method is used to establish the angular coefficient relationship model between spacecraft and infrared cages with different shapes, which realizes the rapid prediction of heat flow in the infrared cage. The angular coefficients obtained by the rapid prognostic model are essentially the same as those obtained by Monte Carlo simulation, while the efficiency is improved by 29,750 times. Taking the vacuum thermal test of a small thermal control star as a case study, the prognostic error gradually decreases with the increase of heat flow, and the maximum error is 6.1%. Full article

Targeting the dynamic image-motion problem of aerial cameras in the process of swing imaging, the image-motion compensation technology of aerial cameras based on the multi-dimensional motion of the secondary mirror was adopted. The secondary mirror was used as the image-motion compensation element, and the comprehensive image-motion compensation of the aerial camera was realized through the multi-dimensional motion of the secondary mirror. However, in the process of compensating for the image motion, the secondary mirror would be eccentric and inclined, which would cause the secondary mirror to be off-axis and affect the image quality. Therefore, a misalignment optical system model was established to study the relationship between the deviation vector and the misalignment of the secondary mirror, and the influence of the secondary mirror’s motion on the distribution of the aberration was analyzed. In order to verify the image-motion compensation ability of the multi-dimensional motion of the secondary mirror, an experimental platform was built to conduct a laboratory imaging experiment and flight experiment on the aerial camera. The experimental results showed that the dynamic resolution of the aerial camera using the image-motion compensation technology could reach 74 lp/mm, and the image-motion compensation accuracy was better than 0.5 pixels, which met the design expectation. In conclusion, the image-motion compensation technology is expected to be applied to various high-precision optical imaging as well as optical detection systems. Full article
