Sunflower Head Residue Pectin Extraction as Affected by Physical Conditions

Effects of extraction pH, temperature, and time on yield and quality of pectin from sunflower heads (Interstate cultivar) were investigated. The low-methoxyl pectin was extracted, using 0.75% sodium hexametaphosphate at pH 3, 4, and 5 and at 75, 85, and 95°for 20, 40, and 60 min, respectively. Yield, molecular mass, and firmness of jellies of the pectins were determined. Three-way statistical analysis on yield, molecular mass and gel firmness showed strong interactions among pH, temperature and time. Highest yields were obtained at pH 5, 95°for 20 min and pH 4, 85°for 40 min. Pectin extracted for 40 min at pH 3 and 4 and at 85°and 75°C, respectively, had the highest molecular mass. Gel firmness of sunflower pectin prepared at pH 5.4 was higher than that of a commercial citrus pectin.     

低碳钢热变形过程中铁素体的织构形成规律

利用背散射电子衍射取向成像技术定量分析了热模拟单向压缩条件下Q235碳素钢热变形时铁素体的织构形成规律。结果表明,在710℃纯铁素体热压缩过程中,形成〈100〉和〈111〉方向的线织构。〈111〉方向织构增强的速度较快,到应变为1.0时达最大值,然后随应变的加大而减弱;〈100〉方向织构在形变量较小时增强的速度较慢,在大应变时增强的速度很快。大应变时虽导致一定程度的动态再结晶,使铁素体晶粒细化,但组织不均匀,织构过强,造成强烈的各向异性。在奥氏体与铁素体两相区变形时,先共析铁素体因形变同样产生强烈的织构。随着形变温度的提高和先共析铁素体的减少,织构减弱。     

一种改进的运动补偿三维小波视频编码方法

Choi等[1]提出的运动补偿三维子带编码方法是一种具有代表性的高效小波视频编码方法,其编码效率优于国际标准MPEG-2.但是该方法的运算复杂度高,编码时也没有充分利用小波图像的特点.为此,本文对该方法的两项关键技术进行了改进:采用像素域降采样运动估计技术以降低运算复杂度,采用改进的集分裂分层树(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees,SPIHT)方法对三维时/空子带进行更高效的编码.实验结果表明,与原有的算法相比,本文的工作不仅降低了运算复杂度,也进一步提高了编码效率.

Pedestrian detection and tracking in infrared imagery using shape and appearance

In this paper, we present an approach toward pedestrian detection and tracking from infrared imagery using joint shape and appearance cues. A layered representation is first introduced and a generalized expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is developed to separate infrared images into background (still) and foreground (moving) layers regardless of camera panning. In the two-pass scheme of detecting pedestrians from the foreground layer: shape cue is first used to eliminate non-pedestrian moving objects and then appearance cue helps to locate the exact position of pedestrians. Templates with varying sizes are sequentially applied to detect pedestrians at multiple scales to accommodate different camera distances. To facilitate the task of pedestrian tracking, we formulate the problem of shot segmentation and present a graph matching-based tracking algorithm that jointly exploits the shape, appearance and distance information. Experimental results with both OSU Infrared Image Database and WVU Infrared Video Database are reported to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of our algorithm.
