Noble metal water gas shift catalysis: Kinetics study and reactor design

Based on the water gas shift (WGS) catalytic mechanism on precious metal catalyst, a Langmuir–Hinshelwood (LH) kinetics model was derived for the operating conditions of syngas from natural gas reforming at near-ambient pressure. A power law kinetics model was also presented for comparative purpose. These two kinetics models were integrated in a dynamic distributed reactor model for design of full-scale WGS reactors for a natural gas fuel processing system. Modeling results indicated that the LH kinetics model gives predictions of reactor performance closer to the experimental data. Using the LH kinetics model, optimization of operating conditions for the high-temperature shift (HTS) and low-temperature shift (LTS) reactors was also attempted.

An oblivious fragile watermarking scheme for images utilizing edge transitions in BTC bitmaps

As one of the famous block-based image coding schemes,block truncation coding(BTC) has been also applied in digital watermarking.Previous BTC-based watermarking or hiding schemes usually embed secret data by modifying the BTC encoding stage or BTC-compressed data,obtaining the watermarked image with poorer quality than the BTC-compressed version.This paper presents a new oblivious image watermarking scheme by exploiting BTC bitmaps.Unlike the traditional schemes,our approach does not really perform the BTC compression on images during the embedding process but utilizes the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in each BTC bitmap to guide the watermark embedding and extraction processes.The embedding process starts by partitioning the original cover image into non-overlapping 4×4 blocks and performing BTC on each block to obtain its BTC bitmap.One watermark bit is embedded in each block by modifying at most three pixel values in the block to make sure that the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in the bitmap of the modified block is equal to the embedded watermark bit.In the extraction stage,the suspicious image is first partitioned into non-overlapping 4×4 blocks and BTC is performed on each block to obtain its bitmap.Then,by checking the parity of the number of horizontal edge transitions in the bitmap,we can extract one watermark bit in each block.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed watermarking scheme is fragile to various image processing operations while keeping the transparency very well.     

细节保持的曲面浅浮雕算法

为保持曲面浮雕的细节特征,改善浮雕与背景曲面的过渡效果,提出一种细节保持的曲面浮雕算法.首先采用Canny算子在梯度域定位内外轮廓,获得连续的梯度域;其次提出非线性函数,并用其压缩梯度幅值实现形状压缩;再通过双边滤波算子来保持和增强浮雕细节;最终通过求解积分方程重建曲面浮雕.该算法将背景曲面作为积分方程的优化条件,使浮雕在轮廓处向曲面光滑过渡;在重建过程中利用Fourier变换的微分性质在频域实现方程的精确求解,无需设置迭代收敛条件;通过调整参数可方便地控制浮雕整体变化范围、细节锐化程度以及浮雕与背景曲面的过渡效果.实验结果表明,文中算法参数的几何意义直观,所得曲面浮雕细节清晰,边界过渡自然.

3D human pose estimation in motion based on multi-stage regression

3D human pose estimation in motion is a hot research direction in the field of computer vision. However, the performance of the algorithm is affected by the complexity of 3D spatial information, self-occlusion of human body, mapping uncertainty and other problems. In this paper, we propose a 3D human joint localization method based on multi-stage regression depth network and 2D to 3D point mapping algorithm. First of all, we use a single RGB image as the input, through the introduction of heatmap and multi-stage regression to constantly optimize the coordinates of human joint points. Then we input the 2D joint points into the mapping network for calculation, and get the coordinates of 3D human body joint points, and then to complete the 3D human body pose estimation task. The MPJPE of the algorithm in Human3.6 M dataset is 40.7. The evaluation of dataset shows that our method has obvious advantages.
