运动汽车图像静态视点平滑特征优化仿真

由于运动汽车图像在特征采集过程中,汽车处于高速运动状态,采集的过程无法与汽车完全同步,造成汽车的特征像素分量在高速运动中丢失,产生较大的像素运动噪声,使得汽车图像边缘高频特征因为运动干扰而模糊.传统的平滑过渡方法在对运动汽车图像进行平滑处理时,按照图像中像元灰度值计算突变特性,但受到像素丢失与噪声无法抑制的影响,无法解决运动汽车图像高频分量对图像像元灰度值的干扰问题.提出基于替身运动DR算法的运动汽车图像静态视点平滑过渡方法,用替身像素描述汽车在场景中的运动特征,替身像素在场景中运动并同其它汽车的替身进行交互,采用局部化的车辆模型提高运动汽车场景的逼真度,通过依据替身运动的平滑过渡算法完成归一化线性运动汽车图像静态视点的平滑过渡,解决了运动汽车图像的平滑过渡问题.实验结果说明,所提方法可确保运动汽车图像边缘锐化,有效处理平滑噪声和锐化边缘.     

Reprint of “Suppressing propylene carbonate decomposition by coating graphite electrode foil with silver”

A method has been developed to suppress the decomposition of propylene carbonate (PC) by coating graphite electrode foil with a layer of silver. Results from electrochemical impedance measurements show that the Ag-coated graphite electrode presents lower charge transfer resistance and faster diffusion of lithium ions in comparison with the virginal one. Cyclic voltammograms and discharge-charge measurements suggest that the decomposition of propylene carbonate and co-intercalation of solvated lithium ions are prevented, and lithium ions can reversibly intercalate into and deintercalate from the Ag-coated graphite electrode. These results indicate that Ag-coating is a good way to improve the electrochemical performance of graphitic carbon in PC-based electrolyte solutions.

A Performance Evaluation of Classic Convolutional Neural Networks for 2D and 3D Palmprint and Palm Vein Recognition

Palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition are two emerging biometrics technologies. In the past two decades, many traditional methods have been proposed for palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition, and have achieved impressive results. However, the research on deep learning-based palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition is still very preliminary. In this paper, in order to investigate the problem of deep learning based 2D and 3D palmprint recognition and palm vein recognition in-depth, we conduct performance evaluation of seventeen representative and classic convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on one 3D palmprint database, five 2D palmprint databases and two palm vein databases. A lot of experiments have been carried out in the conditions of different network structures, different learning rates, and different numbers of network layers. We have also conducted experiments on both separate data mode and mixed data mode. Experimental results show that these classic CNNs can achieve promising recognition results, and the recognition performance of recently proposed CNNs is better. Particularly, among classic CNNs, one of the recently proposed classic CNNs, i.e., EfficientNet achieves the best recognition accuracy. However, the recognition performance of classic CNNs is still slightly worse than that of some traditional recognition methods.
