Image Completion plays a vital role in compressed sensing, machine learning, and computer vision applications. The Rank Minimization algorithms are used to perform the image completion. The major problem with rank minimization algorithms is the loss of information in the recovered image at high corruption ratios. To overcome this problem Lifting wavelet transform based Rank Minimization (LwRM), and Discrete wavelet transform based Rank Minimization (DwRM) methods are proposed, which can recover the image, if the corrupted observations are more than 80%. The evaluation of the proposed methods are accomplished by Full Reference Image Quality Assessment (FRIQA) and No Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) metrics. The simulation results of proposed methods are superior to state-of-the-art methods.
Security threats are crucial challenges that deter Mixed reality (MR) communication in medical telepresence. This research aims to improve the security by reducing the chances of types of various attacks occurring during the real-time data transmission in surgical telepresence as well as reduce the time of the cryptographic algorithm and keep the quality of the media used. The proposed model consists of an enhanced RC6 algorithm in combination. Dynamic keys are generated from the RC6 algorithm mixed with RC4 to create dynamic S-box and permutation table, preventing various known attacks during the real-time data transmission. For every next session, a new key is created, avoiding possible reuse of the same key from the attacker. The results obtained from our proposed system are showing better performance compared to the state of art. The resistance to the tested attacks is measured throughout the entropy, Pick to Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) is decreased for the encrypted image than the state of art, structural similarity index (SSIM) closer to zero. The execution time of the algorithm is decreased for an average of 20%. The proposed system is focusing on preventing the brute force attack occurred during the surgical telepresence data transmission. The paper proposes a framework that enhances the security related to data transmission during surgeries with acceptable performance.
Ce3+/Tb3+ co-doped NaMgBO3 phosphors were successfully synthesized by solid-state method. Under 381 nm excitation, the cyan emission owing to the 5d → 4f of Ce3+ ions and green emissions arising from the 5D4 → 7FJ (J = 6, 5, 4, and 3) transitions of Tb3+ ions were seen in all the phosphors. Through theoretical analysis, one knows that the energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ ions with high efficiency of 83.74% was contributed by dipole–dipole transition. Furthermore, the internal quantum efficiency of NaMgBO3:0.01Ce3+,0.03Tb3+ phosphor was 54.28%. Compared with that of at 303 K, the emission intensity of the developed products at 423 K still kept 73%, revealing the splendid thermal stability of the studied phosphors. Through utilizing the resultant phosphors as cyan-green components, the fabricated white-LED device exhibited an excellent correlated color temperature of 2785 K, high color-rendering index of 85.73, suitable luminance efficiency of 25.00 lm/W, and appropriate color coordinate of (0.4279, 0.3617). Aside from the superior photoluminescence, the synthesized phosphors also exhibited excellent cathode-luminescence properties which were sensitive to the current and accelerating voltage. Furthermore, the NaMgBO3:0.01Ce3+,0.03Tb3+ phosphors with multi-mode emissions were promising candidates for optical anti-counterfeiting. All the results indicated that the Ce3+/Tb3+ co-doped NaMgBO3 phosphors were potential multi-platforms toward white-LED, field emission displays, and optical anti-counterfeiting applications. 相似文献
In this work, biocomposites made of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) with natural fibers were produced via compression molding. In particular, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) were reinforced with 20 wt% of agave fibers. Different compatibilization strategies were investigated to improve the fiber-matrix interaction: fiber surface treatment in PHA solution, fiber surface treatment in maleated PHA solution, fiber propionylation, and extrusion with maleated PHA. The biocomposites were characterized in terms of morphology, mechanical properties, water absorption, and biodegradability by CO2 production tracking. In general, fiber propionylation was the best strategy for mechanical properties enhancement and water uptake decreasing. Biocomposites with propionylated fibers showed improved flexural strength (170% for PHB and 84% for PHBV). The flexural modulus was also enhanced with propionylated fibers up to 19% and 18% compared to uncompatibilized biocomposites (PHB and PHBV, respectively). Tensile strength increased by 16% (PHB) and 14% (PHBV), and the water absorption was reduced using propionylated fibers going from 6.6% to 4.4% compared with biocomposites with untreated fibers. Most importantly, the impact strength was also improved for all biocomposites by up to 96% compared with the neat PHA matrices. Finally, it was found that the compatibilization did not negatively modify the PHA biodegradability. 相似文献
Localized swelling has been observed in 24Cr-24Ni-Nb steel transportation rollers used in the normalizing furnace of a plate
mill after prolonged service at high temperature. Due to high localized thermal and mechanical stresses, the chromia layer
formed on the roller surface ruptures, exposing the roller substrate to furnace oxygen. Oxidation of second-phase carbides
results in the formation of carbon monoxide at very high partial pressure. This leads to formation of voids, leading in turn
to localized swelling of the roller material. 相似文献
Metal-matrix composites may offer better damping properties than unreinforced alloys. Because damping properties (and metal-matrix composites) are becoming important in airframe design, the damping capabilities of a number of aluminum-matrix composites were measured over a wide range of frequencies at low strain amplitudes, using a new laser vibrometer technique. Silicon carbide and alumina reinforcements resulted in a material with damping properties similar to that of unreinforced aluminum 6061-T6, but unidirectional and planar-random graphite continuous-fiber reinforcements increased the damping by 5 and 14 times, respectively. The increased damping of the continuous fiber composites is attributed to the absence of interfacial reaction resulting from the high-pressure infiltration method used for their manufacture. 相似文献
Hindalco’s aluminum electrolysis cells were initially installed in 1962, and the technology was based on 1950s-generation pots. Although Hindalco expanded its aluminums melting capacity from 20,000 tonnes per year to 175,000 tonnes per year, the basic design of the pots remained unchanged. In view of energy price increases, and to keep pace with the latest developments in aluminum smelting technology, Hindalco undertook efforts to modernize its facilities. In spite of numerous constraints, the Hindalco smelter has been able to achieve performance nearly equivalent to that of 1980s-generation pots by retrofitting new technologies. This has resulted in considerable savings in electrical energy consumption and raw materials usage. 相似文献
Some supervised tasks are presented with a numerical output but decisions have to be made in a discrete, binarised, way, according to a particular cutoff. This binarised regression task is a very common situation that requires its own analysis, different from regression and classification—and ordinal regression. We first investigate the application cases in terms of the information about the distribution and range of the cutoffs and distinguish six possible scenarios, some of which are more common than others. Next, we study two basic approaches: the retraining approach, which discretises the training set whenever the cutoff is available and learns a new classifier from it, and the reframing approach, which learns a regression model and sets the cutoff when this is available during deployment. In order to assess the binarised regression task, we introduce context plots featuring error against cutoff. Two special cases are of interest, the \( UCE \) and \( OCE \) curves, showing that the area under the former is the mean absolute error and the latter is a new metric that is in between a ranking measure and a residual-based measure. A comprehensive evaluation of the retraining and reframing approaches is performed using a repository of binarised regression problems created on purpose, concluding that no method is clearly better than the other, except when the size of the training data is small. 相似文献
