提高曲面近似展开精度的方法与实现

通过对不可展曲面近似展开精度的研究，提出了根据曲面曲率的大小对曲面自动进行网格划分，通过对综合展开误差数据场进行数据拟合来选取最优展开基点，基于空间曲面与其展开图间近似的等距变换关系进行展开样形的误差矫正等3种方法，这几种方法的实现在不同程度上有效地减小了曲面的近似展开误差，提高了曲面的近似展开精度。     

一种适用于有限长度混合相位未知脉冲的最小平方反褶积新方法

普通的最小平方反褶积只有在子波为最小相位脉冲和反射序列为白噪声的假设下才是成立的,而对于混合相位未知脉冲来说,这种最小平方反褶积就不再适用了。本文提出一种适合于有限长度混合相位未知脉冲的最小平方反褶积方法。运用此法只需预先估计一个混合相位子波的长度。合成数据的试验结果表明,该方法有较好的效果,且对预先估计出的子波长度不敏感。文中还证明混合相位未知脉冲最小平方反褶积等效于一种有间隙的平滑误差滤波器的作用,而这种有间隙的平滑误差滤波又可分解为一个前向多步预测误差滤波与一个后向多步预测误差滤波之和。可以预计这种新的反滤积方法将在地震数据处理中得到有效的应用。

Unintentionally Biasing the Data: Reply to Knobe.

Knobe (2003) wants to help adjudicate the philosophical debate concerning whether and under what conditions we normally judge that some side effect was brought about intentionally. His proposal for doing so is perhaps an obvious one--simply elicit the intuitions of "The Folk" directly on the matter and record the results. Knobe concludes that people's judgment that a side effect was brought about intentionally apparently rests, at least in part, upon how blameworthy they find the agent responsible for it. Knobe's appreciably straightforward approach to this question does not settle the matter, however. Simply raising that question can itself affect our evaluation of the side effect in question as either something good or something bad. As a result, Knobe's experiments effectively bias subjects' responses toward judging the given side effects more negatively than they might have otherwise. Subjects failed to assign a high level of praise for good side effects because taking into account whether they were brought about intentionally or unintentionally makes them suspect.

How Meta-Analysis Increases Statistical Power.

One of the most frequently cited reasons for conducting a meta-analysis is the increase in statistical power that it affords a reviewer. This article demonstrates that fixed-effects meta-analysis increases statistical power by reducing the standard error of the weighted average effect size (T?.) and, in so doing, shrinks the confidence interval around T?.. Small confidence intervals make it more likely for reviewers to detect nonzero population effects, thereby increasing statistical power. Smaller confidence intervals also represent increased precision of the estimated population effect size. Computational examples are provided for 3 effect-size indices: d (standardized mean difference), Pearson's r, and odds ratios. Random-effects meta-analyses also may show increased statistical power and a smaller standard error of the weighted average effect size. However, the authors demonstrate that increasing the number of studies in a random-effects meta-analysis does not always increase statistical power.

Turbo码概率-代数联合解码算法

Turbo码采用修正的BAHL et al.算法实现解码.这是一种基于软值的概率迭代解码算法.本文在保持Turbo码迭代软解码算法优点的基础上,充分利用Turbo码编码器结构这一确知条件,结合代数解码原理,提出了一种Turbo码概率-代数联合解码算法.该算法结合了概率解码和代数解码的优点,又有效避免了误差传播的发生,使Turbo码的纠错性能在原经典算法的基础上得到进一步的提高.该算法不仅为降低Turbo码的比特误码率和误差地板值提供了一种新的研究途径,而且因其更好的纠错性能而具有十分明显的实用价值.仿真实验结果显示,在比特误码率(BER)为10^-3~10^-4时,与经典Turbo码解码算法相比,采用该算法能获得0.1dB左右的编码增益.     

Foveation-Based Error Resilience and Unequal Error Protection over Mobile Networks

By exploiting new human-machine interface techniques, such as visual eyetrackers, it should be possible to develop more efficient visual multimedia services associated with low bandwidth, dynamic channel adaptation and robust visual data transmission. In this paper, we introduce foveation-based error resilience and unequal error protection techniques over highly error-prone mobile networks. Each frame is spatially divided into foveated and background layers according to perceptual importance. Perceptual importance is determined either through an eye tracker or by manually selecting a region of interest. We attempt to improve reconstructed visual quality by maintaining the high visual source throughput of the foveated layer using foveation-based error resilience and error correction using a combination of turbo codes and ARQ (automatic reQuest). In order to alleviate the degradation of visual quality, a foveation based bitstream partitioning is developed. In an effort to increase the source throughput of the foveated layer, we develop unequal delay-constrained ARQ (automatic reQuest) and rate compatible punctured turbo codes where the punctual pattern of RCPC (rate compatible punctured convolutional) codes in H.223 Annex C is used. In the simulation, the visual quality is significantly increased in the area of interest using foveation-based error resilience and unequal error protection; (as much as 3 dB FPSNR (foveal peak signal to noise ratio) improvement) at 40% packet error rate. Over real-fading statistics measured in the downtown area of Austin, Texas, the visual quality is increased up to 1.5 dB in PSNR and 1.8 dB in FPSNR at a channel SNR of 5 dB.
