Modelling of chromatic contrast for retrieval of wallpaper images

Colour remains one of the key factors in presenting an object and, consequently, has been widely applied in retrieval of images based on their visual contents. However, a colour appearance changes with the change of viewing surroundings, the phenomenon that has not been paid attention yet while performing colour‐based image retrieval. To comprehend this effect, in this article, a chromatic contrast model, CAMcc, is developed for the application of retrieval of colour intensive images, cementing the gap that most of existing colour models lack to fill by taking simultaneous colour contrast into account. Subsequently, the model is applied to the retrieval task on a collection of museum wallpapers of colour‐rich images. In comparison with current popular colour models including CIECAM02, HSI and RGB, with respect to both foreground and background colours, CAMcc appears to outperform the others with retrieved results being closer to query images. In addition, CAMcc focuses more on foreground colours, especially by maintaining the balance between both foreground and background colours, while the rest of existing models take on dominant colours that are perceived the most, usually background tones. Significantly, the contribution of the investigation lies in not only the improvement of the accuracy of colour‐based image retrieval but also the development of colour contrast model that warrants an important place in colour and computer vision theory, leading to deciphering the insight of this age‐old topic of chromatic contrast in colour science. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Temperature adaptability of the soluble lead flow battery using different solutions of fluoborate,perchlorate, methanesulfonate and trifluoromethanesulfonate

The evaluation of cell's weatherability is of practical interest. To further improve the soluble lead flow battery's weatherability, physiochemical properties of electrolytes containing fluoborate, perchlorate, methanesulfonate and trifluoromethanesulfonate are investigated from ?60 to 50 °C. Activities of CF₃SO₃H and HClO₄ are poor in trifluoromethanesulfonate and perchlorate solutions due to common anion effect. The solubility of lead salt can be improved by increasing temperature, but worsened by increasing acid's content. With the temperature increasing, the conductivity is enhanced, and the viscosity is lowered for four solutions. The same results have been found by increasing acid's content except for CF₃SO₃H. The high energy efficiency can be achieved for cells over ?40–0 °C using fluoborate and perchlorate solutions, 73.2% at ?40 °C and 78.1% at ?30 °C respectively. Over the temperature range of 20–50 °C, the cells with methanesulfonate and trifluoromethanesulfonate solutions have good performance, 77.4% and 73.7% at 50 °C respectively.

芦岭煤矿Ⅲ4采区巷道布置方案比选

针对芦岭煤矿Ⅲ4采区8#、9#和10#煤层赋存情况、地质构造，结合现有矿井开拓系统及Ⅲ2、Ⅱ88采区巷道布置情况，按照采区巷道布置设计原则，提出3种采区巷道布置方案。方案一利用-590西皮大巷和-590轨道大巷新掘Ⅲ4采区上部车场，上山布置于F10断层东侧；方案二利用Ⅱ88采区下部车场及-590西皮大巷和-590轨道大巷布置Ⅲ4采区上部车场；方案三延长-900 m大巷至采区下部车场，从-590西皮大巷和-590轨道大巷中部新掘3条采区上山，并掘Ⅲ4采区石门总回风巷至Ⅱ88采区轨道巷，采区西翼布置区段平巷至井田西边界，东翼区段平巷布置至Ⅲ2采区边界。通过技术、经济比较，方案三具有初期投资小，运营费用低，经济效益最大，资源回收率高，巷道施工难度较低，开拓系统较为简单，投产工期最小的特点，最终决定采用方案三作为Ⅲ4采区巷道布置方案，保证工作面安全高效生产。
