Empirical comparison of image retrieval color similarity methods with human judgment

It is important to verify assumptions and methods of image retrieval against actual human behavior. A study was conducted to compare similarity methods of color histograms against human assessment of similarity. The similarity methods tested include basic histogram intersection, center histogram matching, locality histogram matching, and size-weighted histogram matching. 161 subjects participated in the empirical study. The findings, based on Spearman correlation analysis, showed that both the basic histogram intersection method and size-weighted histogram are very close to human assessment of similarity (Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.915). The other two are not close to human judgment on similarity. This study illustrates an alternative approach to evaluating matching algorithms. Unlike the usual measures of recall and precision, this approach emphasizes human validation. Fewer images are required with the use of statistical testing.

上海外环隧道水下最终接头的施工技术

沉管隧道采用水下最终接头,可以大大缩短工期和减少成本,但施工难度较大,而且有一定风险。文章以上海外环隧道工程为例,对沉管隧道水下最终接头的施工工艺中管段轴线精度控制、安装保护罩、间隙间的安全排水和混凝土施工等四大难点进行探讨,并介绍了水密性施工和管内结构施工的具体工艺和步骤。指出其成果对今后类似工程具有较大的参考价值。     

跳时超宽带无线电的性能分析

超宽带脉冲无线电是无线通信领域的一种全新技术,有着广阔的应用前景.它是一种基带无载波短脉冲,不同于使用正弦载波的传统通信系统.本文用满足FCC频谱规划的脉冲--高斯脉冲的五阶导数推导了TH-BPSK方式下的跳时超宽带扩频系统的误码与多址性能,并研究了多径对其性能的影响,比较了TH-BPSK 与TH-PPM系统性能,分析结果表明TH-BPSK的性能(未考虑多径)明显优于TH-PPM,但是TH-PPM抗多径性能优于TH-BPSK.     

大坝安全信息权研究

大坝原型观测数据本身包含了丰富的信息，内在反映了监测项目之间的某种客观关系，基于此，应用PCA法及PPA法建立了确定大坝安全评价信息权重的正分析模型，一方面能够对数据进行降维处理，另一方面能挖掘数据内在信息，提取指标的相对重要性；并基于最优化准则，建立了信息赋权整合模型，解决了多种数学方法计算结果不一致性问题，最大限度地保持原始信息的完整性。     

Spectrum efficient region-based resource allocation with fractional loading for FH-OFDMA cellular systems

A practical resource management method that can significantly reduce cochannel interference (CCI) and improve spectrum utilisation in FH-OFDMA packet-based cellular networks is presented. The proposed method seeks an effective combination of dynamic resource allocation with fractional coding and bit loading to respectively minimise CCI and maximise system throughput for a desired performance.     

2/spl times/4 optical add-drop module with no difference in propagation length

We developed a micromachined X-type 2/spl times/4 optical add-drop module (OADM) featuring no difference in propagation length. Four pairs of lensed fibers are aligned in "X" position, and four micromirrors are located between the pairs of optical fibers. The OADM was fabricated utilizing a silicon-on-insulator process. Electrostatic comb actuators can be driven up to 90 /spl mu/m to change the light path within 1 ms. The insertion loss and the on-off ratio were less than 3 and 70 dB, respectively. The loss uniformity in every channel was 1.5 dB.

Production and structural features of a water-soluble polysaccharide from a mutant strain of Agrobacterium sp.

We have developed a mutant strain derived from Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31750, which produces a water-soluble polysaccharide having potential utility to the food, feed, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. A high concentration of product (15 g/L) is obtained by 48 h cultivation of the mutant strain under optimized fermentation conditions. The water-soluble polysaccharide obtained from cultures of the mutant strain beta82 has Glc:Man:Gal in approximate molar ratios of 5.8:6.7:1.0. The molecular weight of the polysaccharide was determined to be approximately 1000 kDa by HPSEC analysis. Linkage analysis contained 3-Glcp, 3-Manp, terminal Glcp and terminal Manp, as well as a small proportion of 3- and 3,4-Galp, and 4,6-Manp residues. Based on analyses using FT-IR and ¹³C NMR spectrometers, most glycosidic bonds joining these sugar residues are of the α-type, and acetyl groups are apparently attached to the polymer chain at random.
