Agent-based reconfigurable architecture for real-time object tracking

Most conventional object tracking algorithms are implemented on general-purpose processors in software due to its great flexibility. However, the real-time performance is hard to achieve due to the inherent characteristics of the sequential processing of these processors. To tackle this issue, a reconfigurable system-on-chip (rSoC) platform with microprocessors and FPGAs is applied in this paper. To simplify the hardware/software interface, a Belief–Desire–Intention (BDI)-based multi-agent architecture is proposed as the unified framework. Then an agent-based task graph and two heuristic partitioning methods are proposed to partition the hardware and software on an rSoC platform. Compared to the module-based architecture, this BDI-based multi-agent architecture provides more efficiency, flexibility, autonomy, and scalability for the real-time tracking systems. A particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based object detection and tracking algorithm is applied to evaluate the proposed architecture. Extensive experimental results of object tracking demonstrate that the proposed architecture is efficient and highly robust with real-time performance.     

一种序贯Unscented卡尔曼滤波在微小型无人直升机导航系统中的应用

对于应用到微小型无人直升机上的低成本捷联惯导（SINS）/GPS组合导航系统来说,SINS Ψ角误差模型在描述低精度惯性器件误差时对误差项的忽略,使其无法满足SINS误差估计的要求.为了克服Ψ角误差模型的不足,本文建立了基于四元数的SINS非线性误差模型.该误差模型无需对失准角进行小角度假设.为了对组合导航系统中的SINS误差进行估计,提出一种序贯Unscented卡尔曼滤波方法.该滤波方法对观测向量进行序贯处理以降低算法的计算量.仿真结果表明,该滤波方法能有效提高低成本SINS/GPS组合导航系统的性能.

In-line recording and off-axis viewing technique for holographic particle velocimetry

Prior approaches (e.g., off-axis holography) to overcoming the limitations of in-line holography for particle fields, namely, intrinsic speckle noise and depth resolution, involved an increased complexity of the optical system. The in-line recording and off-axis viewing (IROV) technique employs a single laser beam to record an in-line hologram, which is then viewed off axis during reconstruction. The signal-to-noise ratio and depth resolution of IROV are higher than conventional in-line holography by an order of magnitude and are comparable with off-axis holography. IROV is a much simpler approach than off-axis holography and is highly promising for holographic particle velocimetry. Measurements of the three dimensional flow velocity field of a vortex ring obtained by an IROV-based holographic particle velocimetry system are presented.     

Polyether-b-Amide Based Solid Electrolytes with Well-Adhered Interface and Fast Kinetics for Ultralow Temperature Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) are highly desirable for energy storage because of the urgent need for higher energy density and safer batteries. However, it remains a critical challenge for stable cycling of SSLMBs at low temperature. Here, a highly viscoelastic polyether-b-amide (PEO-b-PA) based composite solid-state electrolyte is proposed through a one-pot melt processing without solvent to address this key process. By adjusting the molar ratio of PEO-b-PA to lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonyl)imide (ethylene oxide:Li = 6:1) and adding 20 wt.% succinonitrile, fast Li⁺ transport channel is conducted within the homogeneous polymer electrolyte, which enables its application at ultra-low temperature (−20 to 25 °C). The composite solid-state electrolyte utilizes dynamic hydrogen-bonding domains and ion-conducting domains to achieve a low interfacial charge transfer resistance (<600 Ω) at −20 °C and high ionic conductivity (25 °C, 3.7 × 10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹). As a result, the LiFePO₄|Li battery based on composite electrolyte exhibits outstanding electrochemical performance with 81.5% capacity retention after 1200 cycles at −20 °C and high discharge specific capacities of 141.1 mAh g⁻¹ with high loading (16.1 mg cm⁻²) at 25 °C. Moreover, the solid-state SNCM811|Li cell achieves excellent safety performance under nail penetration test, showing great promise for practical application.     

Fine-Tuning Alkyl Chains on Quinoxaline Nonfullerene Acceptors Enables High-Efficiency Ternary Organic Solar Cells with Optimizing Molecular Stacking and Reducing Energy Loss

Material design of guest acceptor is always a big challenge for improving the efficiency of ternary organic solar cells (OSCs). Here, a pair of isomeric nonfullerene acceptors based on quinoxaline core, Qx–p-C₇H₈O and Qx–m-C₇H₈O, is designed and synthesized. By moving the alkoxy chain attached on side phenyl from meta-position to para-position, both π–π stacking distance and crystallinity are enhanced simultaneously. They obtain the uplifted lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. Compared to Qx–m-C₇H₈O, Qx–p-C₇H₈O exhibits wider absorption spectrum and higher extinction coefficient. Using D18-Cl:N3 as host materials, the addition of guest acceptor Qx–p-C₇H₈O significantly improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 17.61% to 18.49% because of higher open-circuit voltage (0.875 V) and short-circuit current density (27.85 mA cm⁻²). This can be attributed to the faster exciton dissociation, more balanced carrier mobility, fine fiber morphology, and lower energy loss in the ternary devices. However, Qx–m-C₇H₈O-based ternary device achieves relatively low PCE of 17.17% because this device shows extremely low electron mobility. The results indicate that molecular stacking, film morphology, etc., can be effectively modulated by fine-tuning the side chains of guest materials, which may be an effective design rule for further improving the PCE of OSCs.
