ABSTRACT

Nanopore sequencing has been widely used for the real-time detection and surveillance of pathogens with portable MinION. Nanopore adaptive sequencing can enrich on-target sequences without additional pretreatment. In this study, the performance of adaptive sequencing was evaluated for viral genome enrichment of clinical respiratory samples. Ligation-based nanopore adaptive sequencing (LNAS) and rapid PCR-based nanopore adaptive sequencing (RPNAS) workflows were performed to assess the effects of enrichment on nasopharyngeal swab samples from human adenovirus (HAdV) outbreaks. RPNAS was further applied for the enrichment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from nasopharyngeal swab samples to evaluate sensitivity and timeliness. The RPNAS increased both the relative abundance (7.87-12.86-fold) and data yield (1.27-2.15-fold) of HAdV samples, whereas the LNAS increased only the relative abundance but had no obvious enrichment on the data yield. Compared with standard nanopore sequencing, RPNAS detected the SARS-CoV-2 reads from two low-abundance samples, increased the coverage of SARS-CoV-2 by 36.68-98.92%, and reduced the time to achieve the same coverage. Our study highlights the utility of RPNAS for virus enrichment directly from clinical samples, with more on-target data and a shorter sequencing time to recover viral genomes. These findings promise to improve the sensitivity and timeliness of rapid identification and genomic surveillance of infectious diseases.

ABSTRACT

The precise localization of an underground mine environment is key to achieving unmanned and intelligent underground mining. However, in an underground environment, GPS is unavailable, there are variable and often poor lighting conditions, there is visual aliasing in long tunnels, and the occurrence of airborne dust and water, presenting great difficulty for localization. We demonstrate a high-precision, real-time, without-infrastructure underground localization method based on 3D LIDAR. The underground mine environment map was constructed based on GICP-SLAM, and inverse distance weighting (IDW) was first proposed to implement error correction based on point cloud mapping called a distance-weight map (DWM). The map was used for the localization of the underground mine environment for the first time. The approach combines point cloud frames matching and DWM matching in an unscented Kalman filter fusion process. Finally, the localization method was tested in four underground scenes, where a spatial localization error of 4 cm and 60 ms processing time per frame were obtained. We also analyze the impact of the initial pose and point cloud segmentation with respect to localization accuracy. The results showed that this new algorithm can realize low-drift, real-time localization in an underground mine environment.

ABSTRACT

Unmanned mining is one of the most effective methods to solve mine safety and low efficiency. However, it is the key to accurate localization and mapping for underground mining environment. A novel graph simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) optimization method is proposed, which is based on Generalized Iterative Closest Point (GICP) three-dimensional (3D) point cloud registration between consecutive frames, between consecutive key frames and between loop frames, and is constrained by roadway plane and loop. GICP-based 3D point cloud registration between consecutive frames and consecutive key frames is first combined to optimize laser odometer constraints without other sensors such as inertial measurement unit (IMU). According to the characteristics of the roadway, the innovative extraction of the roadway plane as the node constraint of pose graph SLAM, in addition to automatic removing the noise point cloud to further improve the consistency of the underground roadway map. A lightweight and efficient loop detection and optimization based on rules and GICP is designed. Finally, the proposed method was evaluated in four scenes (such as the underground mine laboratory), and compared with the existing 3D laser SLAM method (such as Lidar Odometry and Mapping (LOAM)). The results show that the algorithm could realize low drift localization and point cloud map construction. This method provides technical support for localization and navigation of underground mining environment.
