Reliability-based robust assessment for multiobjective optimization design of improving occupant restraint system performance

Optimal performance of vehicle occupant restraint system (ORS) requires an accurate assessment of occupant injury values including head, neck and chest responses, etc. To provide a feasible framework for incorporating occupant injury characteristics into the ORS design schemes, this paper presents a reliability-based robust approach for the development of the ORS. The uncertainties of design variables are addressed and the general formulations of reliable and robust design are given in the optimization process. The ORS optimization is a highly nonlinear and large scale problem. In order to save the computational cost, an optimal sampling strategy is applied to generate sample points at the stage of design of experiment (DOE). Further, to efficiently obtain a robust approximation, the support vector regression (SVR) is suggested to construct the surrogate model in the vehicle ORS design process. The multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm is used for obtaining the Pareto optimal set with emphasis on resolving conflicting requirements from some of the objectives and the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method is applied to perform the reliability and robustness analysis. The differences of three different Pareto fronts of the deterministic, reliable and robust multiobjective optimization designs are compared and analyzed in this study. Finally, the reliability-based robust optimization result is verified by using sled system test. The result shows that the proposed reliability-based robust optimization design is efficient in solving ORS design optimization problems.     

Adaptive block size for dense QR factorization in hybrid CPU–GPU systems via statistical modeling

QR factorization is a computational kernel of scientific computing. How can the latest computer be used to accelerate this task? We investigate this topic by proposing a dense QR factorization algorithm with adaptive block sizes on a hybrid system that contains a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphic processing unit (GPU). To maximize the use of CPU and GPU, we develop an adaptive scheme that chooses block size at each iteration. The decision is based on statistical surrogate models of performance and an online monitor, which avoids unexpected occasional performance drops. We modify the highly optimized CPU–GPU based QR factorization in MAGMA to implement the proposed schemes. Numerical results suggest that our approaches are efficient and can lead to near-optimal block sizes. The proposed algorithm can be extended to other one-sided factorizations, such as LU and Cholesky factorizations.     

Application of a rice field experimental error distribution function to nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer response model analysis

A distribution function of rice yield deviations from the mean was developed from field experiments with 555 plots at 16 sites in Zhejiang province, China, for three years. The deviation distribution in interval of 50kg/ha appeared as a symmetrical distribution with a high peak (Mean=0.279 [kg/ha], SD=240.686 [kg/ha]). Normality test using Kolmogrove-Smirnov test between the observed cumulative distribution and the normal cumulative distribution function indicates that the observed deviation distribution is not normal. An empirical exponential cumulative distribution function was developed. The distribution function was used to remove outliers during the development of a rice yield fertilizer response model, based on data from a non-replicated NPK field experiment.     

昭通横江流域年径流预测

针对昭通横江由南到北贯穿昭通全境,水资源量丰富,但南北差异大,南部少、北部多的特点,根据流域内水文站实测年径流、大气环流指数、海温指数及其他指数等资料系列,采用多元回归分析法拟合1981—2010年径流,建立了预测模型,验证、预测分析了2011—2016年径流量。结果表明:干流控制站预测精度高于干流上段及支流代表站,水利工程建设等人类活动影响是导致出现这样结果的主要原因;多元回归分析在横江流域径流预测中具有一定的适应性,但因指标的差异及相关参数可获取性的差异,预测结果存在区域间、等级间的差别。

Real-time facial animation on mobile devices

We present a performance-based facial animation system capable of running on mobile devices at real-time frame rates. A key component of our system is a novel regression algorithm that accurately infers the facial motion parameters from 2D video frames of an ordinary web camera. Compared with the state-of-the-art facial shape regression algorithm [1], which takes a two-step procedure to track facial animations (i.e., first regressing the 3D positions of facial landmarks, and then computing the head poses and expression coefficients), we directly regress the head poses and expression coefficients. This one-step approach greatly reduces the dimension of the regression target and significantly improves the tracking performance while preserving the tracking accuracy. We further propose to collect the training images of the user under different lighting environments, and make use of the data to learn a user-specific regressor, which can robustly handle lighting changes that frequently occur when using mobile devices.
