Deterministic and probabilistic ship pitch prediction using a multi-predictor integration model based on hybrid data preprocessing,reinforcement learning and improved QRNN

The deterministic and probabilistic prediction of ship motion is important for safe navigation and stable real-time operational control of ships at sea. However, the volatility and randomness of ship motion, the non-adaptive nature of single predictors and the poor coverage of quantile regression pose serious challenges to uncertainty prediction, making research in this field limited. In this paper, a multi-predictor integration model based on hybrid data preprocessing, reinforcement learning and improved quantile regression neural network (QRNN) is proposed to explore the deterministic and probabilistic prediction of ship pitch motion. To validate the performance of the proposed multi-predictor integrated prediction model, an experimental study is conducted with three sets of actual ship longitudinal motions during sea trials in the South China Sea. The experimental results indicate that the root mean square errors (RMSEs) of the proposed model of deterministic prediction are 0.0254°, 0.0359°, and 0.0188°, respectively. Taking series #2 as an example, the prediction interval coverage probabilities (PICPs) of the proposed model of probability predictions at 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence levels (CLs) are 0.9400, 0.9800, and 1.0000, respectively. This study signifies that the proposed model can provide trusted deterministic predictions and can effectively quantify the uncertainty of ship pitch motion, which has the potential to provide practical support for ship early warning systems.

A Minimalist Single-Layer Metasurface for Arbitrary and Full Control of Vector Vortex Beams

Vector vortex beams (VVBs) possess ubiquitous applications from particle trapping to quantum information. Recently, the bulky optical devices for generating VVBs have been miniaturized by using metasurfaces. Nevertheless, it is quite challenging for the metasurface-generated VVBs to possess arbitrary polarization and phase distributions. More critical is that the VVBs' annular intensity profiles demonstrated hitherto are dependent on topological charges and are hence not perfect, posing difficulties in spatially shared co-propagation of multiple vortex beams. Here, a single-layer metasurface to address all those aforementioned challenges in one go is proposed, which consists of two identical crystal-silicon nanoblocks with varying positions and rotation angles (i.e., four geometric parameters throughout). Those four geometric parameters are found to be adequate for independent and arbitrary control of the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light. Perfect VVBs with arbitrary polarization and phase distributions are successfully generated, and the constant intensity profiles independent of their topological charges and polarization orders are demonstrated. The proposed strategy casts a distinct perception that a minimalist design of just one single-layer metasurface can empower such robust and versatile control of VVBs. That provides promising opportunities for generating more complex vortex field for advanced applications in structural light, optical micromanipulation, and data communication.     

Planktonic response to light as a pollution indicator

Ecological monitoring requires sensitive and effective approaches to detecting polluting substances. One such approach involves tracking the behavioral responses of plankton that is initially adapted to normal habitat conditions. Zooplankton such as Daphnia are filter feeders that are highly sensitive to pollution. We describe how a submersible holographic camera with additional attracting lighting (at a wavelength of 532 nm) can be used to track changes of Daphnia response to light for a number of pollutants, including potassium dichromate and crude oil. Our laboratory experiments showed that the sensitivity of this method of bioanalysis is comparable to standard laboratory methods, but has the additional advantage that it can be used in real time in lakes and other water areas, and hence is more versatile than standard methods.     

基于三相幅度测量的相控阵天线快速校准方法

提出了一种基于三相幅度测量的相控阵天线快速校准方法。该方法将天线阵列进行分组,利用每种分组在三种配相下的阵面合成场幅度测量值,可解算出各个天线单元的初始幅相值。该方法仅需幅度测量,避免了相位测量误差影响单元幅相值的计算精度,而且所需幅度测量次数仅为(2N+1)次,可显著提高校准时效性。另外,利用分组思想,同时改变多个单元相位,使总辐射场的幅度变化显著,提升校准准确性。仿真结果表明:校准后相位均方根误差为2.2°,幅度均方根误差为0.2 dB。

Influence of part material and sensor adjustment on the quality of digitised point-clouds using conoscopic holography

Conoscopic holography is an interferometric measurement technique commonly used for non-contact surfaces digitising in quality assessment, in-process inspection and reverse engineering. Among other factors, accuracy of measurements provided by this technology is influenced by the surface optical properties. Parameters such as laser power (P) or frequency of acquisition (F) are commonly used to adjust the sensor until a quality indicator of the signal acquired (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) is maximised. Nevertheless, measurements taken under this adjusting criterion does not necessarily ensure the most accurate results from a metrological point of view. Taking this into account, the present work proposes two additional indicators to analyse the influence of sensor setting parameters on the quality of digitised point-clouds for different metals and polymers. Digitising tests have been performed on flat specimens of each material by means of a conoscopic holography sensor integrated on a Coordinate Measuring Machine. In order to meet an optimal scanning of each material, the study provides a series of recommendations about adjustment of the sensor as well as the most suitable indicator to be used in each case.
