A Performance Evaluation of Classic Convolutional Neural Networks for 2D and 3D Palmprint and Palm Vein Recognition

Palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition are two emerging biometrics technologies. In the past two decades, many traditional methods have been proposed for palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition, and have achieved impressive results. However, the research on deep learning-based palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition is still very preliminary. In this paper, in order to investigate the problem of deep learning based 2D and 3D palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition in-depth, we conduct performance evaluation of seventeen representative and classic convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on one 3D palmprint database, five 2D palmprint databases and two palm vein databases. A lot of experiments have been carried out in the conditions of different network structures, different learning rates, and different numbers of network layers. We have also conducted experiments on both separate data mode and mixed data mode. Experimental results show that these classic CNNs can achieve promising recognition results, and the recognition performance of recently proposed CNNs is better. Particularly, among classic CNNs, one of the recently proposed classic CNNs, i.e., EfficientNet achieves the best recognition accuracy. However, the recognition performance of classic CNNs is still slightly worse than that of some traditional recognition methods.

     

Reaction mechanism and microstructure evolution of reaction sintered <Emphasis Type="Italic">h</Emphasis>-BN

Hexagonal boron nitride ceramic (h-BN) based on the nitridation of B powders was obtained by reaction sintering method. The effects of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the resultant products were investigated and the reaction mechanism was discussed. Results showed that the reaction between B and N₂ occurred vigorously at temperatures ranging from 1 000 °C to 1 300 °C, which resulted in the generation of t-BN. When the temperature exceeded 1 450 °C, transformation from t-BN to h-BN began to occur. As the sintering temperature increased, the spherical particles of t-BN gradually transformed into fine sheet particles of h-BN. These particles subsequently displayed a compact arrangement to achieve a more uniform microstructure, thereby increasing the strength.     

多视无人机影像环形拼接算法

由于多视无人机影像拼接时误差的传播和累计经常导致拼接图扭曲偏斜或者拼接的失败.针对这个问题提出了构建拼接环并以多级拼接作为辅助的拼接策略.首先将待拼接图像分为多组,每组中以环形方式进行拼接,然后利用SIFT进行匹配,RANSAC实现误匹配的去除,而后计算透视变换关系,最后通过平差方程将误差削弱.通过实拍无人机影像进行的拼接实验表明该方式可以有效减少累计误差的影响,提高拼接精度.该方法的提出可以作为影像拼接消除累计误差的有效方式之一.     

Dynamic data packing towards the optimization of QoC and QoS in networked control systems

A class of networked control systems is investigated whose communication network is shared with other applications. The design objective for such a system setting is not only the optimization of the control performance but also the efficient utilization of the communication resources. We observe that at a large time scale the data packet delay in the communication network is roughly varying piecewise constant, which is typically true for data networks like the Internet. Based on this observation, a dynamic data packing scheme is proposed within the recently developed packet-based control framework for networked control systems. As expected this proposed approach achieves a fine balance between the control performance and the communication utilization: the similar control performance can be obtained at dramatically reduced cost of the communication resources. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

液压夹具夹持力对金属材料室温拉伸曲线的影响及处理

针对日常检测中金属材料室温拉伸曲线出现的异常现象,分析材料试验机液压夹具夹持力大小对金属材料室温拉伸曲线的影响情况。结果表明:液压夹具夹持力对拉伸曲线的影响不可忽视,应注意观察试样最大拉力并适时调整夹具夹持力;在判明曲线异常为液压夹具夹持力所致时,应人为处理曲线得出正确测试结果。     

损伤变量对复合材料损伤演化过程的影响分析

复合材料层合板损伤模型中的刚度退化需要通过损伤变量来实现。针对通常采用的2种损伤变量定义,给出了统一表达式。此外,损伤刚度矩阵是损伤变量的函数,基于应变等效假设推导了三维损伤刚度矩阵,从而避免了对损伤刚度矩阵的人为假定。最后,通过复合材料层合板在冲击载荷作用下的数值模拟,讨论了损伤变量的2种定义对数值结果的影响,表明损伤变量的不同定义对分层和基体损伤分布存在一定的影响,对冲击载荷的影响不大。建议在复合材料损伤模拟中,应予关注损伤变量。     

旅游法实施背景下网友对“导游员”工作的感知——基于新浪微博文本分析

以2013年国庆期间新浪微博网友关于“旅游法”和“导游”的原创微博为样本,采用数量分析方法,分析网友对旅游法实施后导游工作关注程度的变化以及对旅游法的支持程度,研究表明,国庆期间网友对旅游法实施后导游工作的关注日益增加,认为旅游法的实施对导游工作有正面影响的网友占大多数.使用词频统计法和共现分析法进行内容分析,网友对导游工作的感知主要包括：导游工作需要旅行社和游客的支持和理解;支持旅游法对无证导游的惩罚,但是惩罚力度不足;旅游法对强制消费的约束已初见成效,但部分网友表现出对部分导游工作态度消极的不满;旅游法实施后导游收入下降明显.
