孪生网络框架下融合显著性和干扰在线学习的航拍目标跟踪算法

针对一般跟踪算法不能很好地解决航拍视频下目标分辨率低、视场大、视角变化多等特殊难点,该文提出一种融合目标显著性和在线学习干扰因子的无人机(UAV)跟踪算法.通用模型预训练的深层特征无法有效地识别航拍目标,该文跟踪算法能根据反向传播梯度识别每个卷积滤波器的重要性来更好地选择目标显著性特征,以此凸显航拍目标特性.另外充分利用连续视频丰富的上下文信息,通过引导目标外观模型与当前帧尽可能相似地来在线学习动态目标的干扰因子,从而实现可靠的自适应匹配跟踪.实验证明:该算法在跟踪难点更多的UAV123数据集上跟踪成功率和准确率分别比孪生网络基准算法高5.3%和3.6%,同时速度达到平均28.7帧/s,基本满足航拍目标跟踪准确性和实时性需求.     

基于周期截断数据矩阵奇异值分解的干扰抑制技术

针对现有适用于单天线接收机的干扰抑制技术难以为周期调频(PFM)干扰和卫星导航信号提供足够分离度,导致消除干扰成分时卫星导航信号损伤较大的问题,该文提出一种基于周期截断数据矩阵奇异值分解的干扰抑制方法。利用调频干扰信号的周期性把分散在较大带宽的能量集中到重排数据中几个甚至单个频点;进而采用奇异值分解(SVD)将干扰与期望信号映射进不同的投影子空间以消除干扰成分。仿真结果表明该方法可以降低在剔除干扰时卫星导航信号损失,提升卫星导航接收机对抗宽带周期调频干扰的能力。     

基于曲率和的主动声呐干涉条纹特征表征方法

干涉条纹特征是主动声呐目标识别所依据的重要特征之一。在浅水域环境中,声波能量传播特性较为复杂,信号会经过发射源到目标以及目标到接收器这2条不同的路径,目标的散射特性在声波的入射模式和散射模式之间相互作用,使得主动声呐干涉条纹呈现弯曲的结构。为对干涉条纹特征进行表征,提出一种基于曲率和的声呐特征提取方法。根据浅海声场主动声呐频率-距离干涉条纹图得到一段区间内的干涉条纹曲线散点曲率值,利用曲率求和的方法刻画条纹的弯曲程度,进而表征这一区间内的条纹特征。在理想波导环境下计算刚性球体目标在不同频率段下的曲率特征,通过统计平均值的方式得到平均曲率和为0.6左右,从特征表征结果可以看出,曲率和可通过统计离散点曲率强度描述干涉条纹特征,且在同一环境条件下,发射频率越大时曲率和强度越小。根据实测数据进行计算得到曲率和为0.512,实验与理论结果较为吻合,表明通过该方法可以获取主动声呐干涉条纹特征,进而实现目标识别和探测。

Enhancement of Upconverted Fluorescence by Interference Layers

Upconverting nanoparticles show potential applications in the field of photovoltaics and array‐based detection devices. While fluorescence enhancement using interference of incident radiation is well known in Stokes‐shift type systems such as fluorescent dyes; the effect of such interference geometry in nonlinear Anti‐Stokes type emission, such as in upconversion rare earth photophysics is demonstrated for the first time. This work describes in detail the influence of the interference modulation on both the excitation (interion energy transfer) and radiative decay with nonradiative decay processes active between emissive levels. These effects are illustrated in the thickness dependence of the decay rate and rise time. Single particle upconverted spectra and time‐resolved measurements show concurrent optimization of the infrared absorption and emission at 540 and 650 nm, with an average enhanced emission of 20 times at λ = 540 and 45 times at λ = 650 nm, dependent on the interference layer thickness and on the excitation intensity. The experimental results are correlated with finite element modeling. Both experiments and calculations show emission enhancement at an interference layer thickness of about 740 ± 20 nm, where such tolerance and the planar design, leads to ease in implementation in applications.     

Compact,ultra-low vibration,closed-cycle helium recycler for uninterrupted operation of MEG with SQUID magnetometers

A closed-cycle helium recycler was developed for continuous uninterrupted operation for magnetometer-based whole-head magnetoencephalography (MEG) systems. The recycler consists of a two stage 4 K pulse-tube cryocooler and is mounted on the roof of a magnetically shielded room (MSR). A flexible liquid helium (LHe) return line on the recycler is inserted into the fill port of the MEG system in the MSR through a slotted opening in the ceiling. The helium vapor is captured through a line that returns the gas to the top of the recycler assembly. A high-purity helium gas cylinder connected to the recycler assembly supplies the gas, which, after it is liquefied, increases the level of LHe in the MEG system during the start-up phase. No storage tank for evaporated helium gas nor a helium gas purifier is used. The recycler is capable of liquefying helium with a rate of ∼17 L/d after precooling the MEG system. It has provided a fully maintenance-free operation under computer control for 7 months without refill of helium. Although the recycler is used for single-orientation operation at this initial testing site, it is designed to operate at ±20° orientations, allowing the MEG system to be tilted for supine and reclining positions. Vibration of the recycler is dampened to an ultra-low level by using several vibration isolation methods, which enables uninterrupted operation during MEG measurements. Recyclers similar to this system may be quite useful even for MEG systems with 100% magnetometers.     

The lateral load-deformation response of RC walls with a consideration of the height–length ratio

Reinforced concrete (RC) walls play an important role in resisting earthquakes, so understanding the lateral load-deformation response of an RC wall subjected to an axial load, shear, and moment is essential to nonlinear structural analysis. In this study, the moment-bending deformation response of an RC wall under an axial load and moment is obtained from moment–curvature analysis using the wall’s proper plastic hinge length. Furthermore, modified compression-field theory, adjusted according to the height–length ratio of the wall, is used to calculate the shear–shear deformation response of the wall under an axial load and shear. By integrating the moment-bending deformation and the shear–shear deformation responses, the lateral load-deformation response of the RC wall under axial load–moment–shear interaction can be reasonably determined. To confirm the reliability of the proposed method, experimental results for 67 RC walls are compared with analysis results from the proposed method. The statistical results show that the proposed method accurately predicts the lateral ultimate load but somewhat underestimates the lateral ultimate deformation. Finally, this paper gives an example using an equivalent column to simulate an RC wall using SAP2000 pushover analysis.     

Characterization of Carbonated Beverages Associated to Corrosion of Aluminium Packaging

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the characteristics of commercial soft drinks related with the corrosion process of the aluminium packaging and based on that, propose model solutions for future studies of beverage/package interaction and corrosion process of metal packages. Therefore, the pH, acidity, concentration of chlorides and copper in six types of soft drinks were determined, as well as the corrosion potential of the aluminium and the current density corrosion obtained in polarization curves using the beverages as electrolyte. Based on the results obtained, a solution of citric acid (pH = 3) containing chloride (250 mg/kg) and copper ions (250 µg/kg) is proposed. The obtained results are potentially useful for the industry and future studies regarding the interaction process between soft drinks and aluminium cans.
