Surrogate models have been widely applied to correlate design variables and performance parameters in turbomachinery optimization applications. With more design variables and uncertain factors taken into account in an optimization design problem, the mathematical relations between the design variables and the performance parameters might present linear, low-order nonlinear or even high-order nonlinear characteristics, and are usually analytically unknown. Therefore, it is required that surrogate models have high adaptability and prediction accuracy for both the linear and nonlinear characteristics. The paper mainly investigates the effectiveness of an adaptive region segmentation combining surrogate model based on support vector regression and kriging model applied to a transonic axial compressor to approximate the complicated relationships between geometrical variables and objective performance outputs with different sampling methods and sizes. The purpose is to explore the prediction accuracy and computational efficiency of this adaptive surrogate model in real turbomachinery applications. Three different sampling techniques are studied: (1) uniform design; (2) Latin hypercube sampling method; (3) Sobol quasi-random design. For the low dimensional case with five variables, the adaptive region segmentation combining surrogate model performs better (not worse) than the single component surrogate in terms of prediction accuracy and computational efficiency. In the meanwhile, it is also noted that the uniform design applied to the adaptive surrogate model has more advantages over the Latin hypercube sampling method especially for the small sample size cases, both performing better than the Sobol quasi-random design. Moreover, a high dimensional case with 12 variables is also utilized to further validate the prediction advantage of the adaptive region segmentation combining surrogate model over the single component surrogate, and the computational results favor it. Overall, the adaptive region segmentation combining surrogate model has produced acceptable to high prediction accuracy in presenting complex relationships between the geometrical variables and the objective performance outputs and performed robustly for a transonic axial compressor problem.
Geologists interpret seismic data to understand subsurface properties and subsequently to locate underground hydrocarbon resources. Channels are among the most important geological features interpreters analyze to locate petroleum reservoirs. However, manual channel picking is both time consuming and tedious. Moreover, similar to any other process dependent on human intervention, manual channel picking is error prone and inconsistent. To address these issues, automatic channel detection is both necessary and important for efficient and accurate seismic interpretation. Modern systems make use of real-time image processing techniques for different tasks. Automatic channel detection is a combination of different mathematical methods in digital image processing that can identify streaks within the images called channels that are important to the oil companies. In this paper, we propose an innovative automatic channel detection algorithm based on machine learning techniques. The new algorithm can identify channels in seismic data/images fully automatically and tremendously increases the efficiency and accuracy of the interpretation process. The algorithm uses deep neural network to train the classifier with both the channel and non-channel patches. We provide a field data example to demonstrate the performance of the new algorithm. The training phase gave a maximum accuracy of 84.6% for the classifier and it performed even better in the testing phase, giving a maximum accuracy of 90%. 相似文献
A series of (Cd1–xZnx)S powders phosphors and thin layers prepared by thermal evaporation of solid solution were studied. The phosphors used were 41% ZnS: 59% CdS with a cobalt concentration from 0 to 0.325%. The analysis of the structure of films of different thicknesses using X-ray diffraction technique confirms that the calculated relative intensities of the planes show considerable differences from the experimental results. For film thicknesses 70 nm thea axis is normal to the substrate, while at greater thicknesses (273 nm) thec axis is practically normal to the substrate. The effect of the electron beam on the solid solution indicates that layers decomposed leaving the grain boundaries decorated by metallic cadmium and zinc particles. 相似文献
The widespread availability of broadband internet access and the growth in server-based processing have provided an opportunity to run games away from the player into the cloud and offer a new promising service known as cloud gaming. The concept of cloud gaming is to render a game in the cloud and stream the resulting game scenes to the player as a video sequence over a broadband connection. To meet the stringent network bandwidth requirements of cloud gaming and support more players, efficient bit rate reduction techniques are needed. In this paper, we introduce the concept of game attention model (GAM), which is basically a game context-based visual attention model, as a means for reducing the bit rate of the streaming video more efficiently. GAM estimates the importance of each macro-block in a game frame from the player’s perspective and allows encoding the less important macro-blocks with lower bit rate. We have evaluated nine game video sequences, covering a wide range of game genre and a spectrum of scene content in terms of details, motion and brightness. Our subjective assessment shows that by integrating this model into the cloud gaming framework, it is possible to decrease the required bit rate by nearly 25 % on average, while maintaining a relatively high user quality of experience. This clearly enables players with limited communication resources to benefit from cloud gaming with acceptable quality. 相似文献
Indium tin oxide‐coated thin films (200 nm) are deposited on glass substrates by using R.f. sputtering technique. Here, we investigate the influence of new technique of treatment, which is called as “oil thermal annealing” on the nano‐structured indium tin oxide thin films at fixed temperature (150 °C) which improves adhesion strength, electrical conductivity and optical properties (transmittance) of the films. Oil thermal annealing is used to reduce inherent defects that may be introduced during the prepared thin film and cooling processes. Proposed technique is highly suitable for liquid crystal displays, solar cells and organic light emitting diodes, and many other display‐related applications. 相似文献
With the advent of the powerful editing software and sophisticated digital cameras, it is now possible to manipulate images. Copy-move is one of the most common methods for image manipulation. Several methods have been proposed to detect and locate the tampered regions, while many methods failed when the copied region undergone some geometric transformations before being pasted, because of the de-synchronization in the searching procedure. This paper presents an efficient technique for detecting the copy-move forgery under geometric transforms. Firstly, the forged image is divided into overlapping circular blocks, and Polar Complex Exponential Transform (PCET) is employed to each block to extract the invariant features, thus, the PCET kernels represent each block. Secondly, the Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) Searching Problem is used for identifying the potential similar blocks by means of locality sensitive hashing (LSH). In order to make the algorithm more robust, morphological operations are applied to remove the wrong similar blocks. Experimental results show that our proposed technique is robust to geometric transformations with low computational complexity. 相似文献
WSNs (wireless sensor networks) consist of thousands of tiny nodes having the capability of sensing, computation, and wireless communications. Unfortunately these devices are limited energy devices, that is means we must save energy as much as possible, to increase network life time as long as possible. In this paper we introduce NEER--normalized energy efficient routing protocol that increases network life time through switching between AODV protocol that depends on request-reply routing, and MRPC that depends on residual battery in routing. 相似文献
We propose a new formulation of quantum algorithm which allows to distribute amplitudes over two copies of small quantum subsystems. The new method gives a fixed number of copies and applied to the control of multi-qubit system. The analysis for the amount of error due to the distribution process has been presented for a system of 10 qubits with a small quantum subsystems to be copied. The present scheme provides a new way to distribute amplitudes over small quantum subsystems. 相似文献
