Display illumination with modulated directional backlight

Illumination is essential for modern life as colorful world is perceived by human visionary system. Display technology has been developing rapidly in recent decades, and the basic principle is related to the way that the image is illuminated and light is emanated. Traditional illumination is provided by different types of light sources, and the display image is visible in large viewing space until the emanating light decays to zero. This work proposes and demonstrates a novel illumination scheme for a display in which the displaying images are visible only in specific spatial regions. The directional backlight ensures the image propagating to specific direction while imaging visibility can be controlled to terminate abruptly at certain distance from the display screen while exerting no influence to nearby regions. The working principle for such an illumination scheme is the use of the modulated coherent directional backlight through an axicon lens. It is shown that the illumination scheme can robustly deliver carried image information to the designated viewing region. This new illumination scheme has many advantages over conventional illumination, including its usage for personal display, very lower energy consumption, as well as minimizing light hazard pollution.     

基于多通路融合网络的高速公路雾天能见度等级识别

雾天是影响高速公路交通安全的重要因素。研究从监控图像进行高速公路雾天能见度的自动识别方法可以为交通管理部门的智能管理和决策提供技术支持。根据大气散射模型分析出与雾浓度相关的多个物理因素,提出了综合这些物理因素的多通路融合识别网络。该网络使用三个通路联合学习深度视觉特征、传输矩阵特征和场景深度特征,并设计注意力融合模块来自适应地融合这三类特征以进行能见度等级识别。同时构建了一个合成数据集和一个真实的高速公路场景数据集,用于网络参数学习和性能评估。实景数据集中的图像是从中国多条高速公路的监控视频中收集的。在这两个数据集上的实验表明,所提方法可以适应不同的监控拍摄场景,能够比现有方法更准确地识别能见度等级,有效提升了识别精度。     

Coarse head pose estimation of construction equipment operators to formulate dynamic blind spots

Several hundred workers die in construction in the United States every year because equipment operators are unable to see their fellow workers during operation of their vehicle. In this paper we propose a step towards improving this situation by providing an automated method based on range imaging for estimating the coarse head orientation of a construction equipment operator. This research utilizes commercially-available low resolution range cameras to measure the continuously changing field-of-view (FOV) of an equipment operator in outdoor construction. This paper presents a methodology to measure so-called dynamic blind spot maps. The dynamic blind spot map is then projected on a known static equipment blind spot map that already exists to each construction vehicle. A robust computational coarse head pose estimation algorithm and results to three different pieces of construction equipment and multiple operators are presented. The developed method has the potential in automatically determining the spaces around vehicles that are currently not in the field-of-view of the vehicle operator thus providing eventually additional means and technology for improving safety in construction.     

基于SVM-BP神经网络的气象能见度数据缺失值预估

自动气象站能见度检测仪多采用光学装置采样,雨雪、粉尘等天气因素会对部分仪器镜头造成污染,导致能见度要素数据缺测.针对能见度数据缺失问题,本文选用安徽部分气象站的历年数据,首先运用灰色关联分析方法筛选出与能见度密切相关的其他气象要素,通过支持向量机和BP神经网络单一预估方法预估不同地形的能见度缺失值,然后采用最优权重组合将两种方法预估的能见度值进行组合,并与单一预估方法进行对比.结果表明组合方法的预估结果误差均值小、整体准确度高,可以保证台站观测资料的完备性,为短时天气预报、实况分析和气象公共服务工作提供有效依据.     

Effect of change management capability in real-time environment: an information orientation perspective in supply chain management

Supply chain management (SCM) is an important strategic tool that requires careful planning and management. While the availability of real-time information is a critical aspect of an SCM system, it possesses a potential to disrupt supply chain participants. Thus, the success of an SCM system hinges on how well participants deal with changes taking place in a real-time environment. This study adopts the concept of the real-time enterprise to understand the role of change management on SCM performance based on the concept of the information orientation. The study empirically validated the role of change management on SCM performance.
