摘要:High-order vector Bessel vortex beams, due to their non-diffracting, self-healing properties and the simultaneous presence of anisotropic vortex polarization distribution and helical phase on their cross-sections, have significant application potential in fields such as information transmission, imaging, anti-interference, and particle manipulation. This paper, based on the mode extraction principle and optical pen technology, replaced the traditional method of generating high-order vector Bessel vortex beams by modulating two separate beams. It simulated and experimentally verified the generation of high-order vector Bessel vortex beams from a single incident beam, and studied their transmission characteristics and self-healing properties in free space. Additionally, taking the topological charge and the vortex order of the vector Bessel vortex beam as 0, 1, and 2 respectively, the influences of the two on the transmission and self-healing properties of the vector Bessel vortex beam were compared and analyzed. Both numerical simulations and optical experiments showed that during beam transmission, the order of the vortex beam and the topological charge did not affect the non-diffracting state of maintaining the central region's light intensity from diverging; after encountering obstacles that disrupted propagation, beams with smaller topological charges required less time for self-healing. This has important potential significance for application research in optical trapping, optical imaging, optical communication, and other fields.
摘要:To meet the increasing demands for greater precision in measuring the centering error of optical lenses, this paper proposed a centering error measurement method based on full-field heterodyne interferometry. This method used the actual optical axis of the test lens as the measurement reference, obtained the wavefront by measuring the interference fringes generated by the reflected beam of the measured lens and the reference beam, and performed Zernike polynomial fitting. The tilt coefficients of the Zernike polynomials were then converted into the centering error of the test lens, achieving high-precision measurement of the centering error and eliminating the reliance on an external rotational stage. Based on heterodyne interference and centering error principle, the influence of laser intensity fluctuations and heterodyne frequency fluctuations on wavefront and decenter measurement results was analyzed. The results showed that measurement errors were positively correlated with laser intensity and heterodyne frequency fluctuations and were also affected by the curvature and decenter of the test lens. A decenter measurement system based on heterodyne interferometry was constructed, achieving high-precision decenter measurement, which was compared with simulation results. The simulation results show that the measurement accuracy of the system is not less than 0.06″, and experimental results validated the simulations. The study indicates that, compared to traditional autocollimation-based decenter measurement methods, the heterodyne interferometry method can achieve higher measurement accuracy.
摘要:Based on the temporal coupled-mode theory and the light-controlling characteristics of line-defect waveguides and point-defect resonant cavities, a two-channel filtering system composed of a main waveguide, two drop waveguides, two resonant cavities, and two reflecting cavities was designed using the two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystal. The band structures of the complete photonic crystal and the line-defect waveguide were calculated by the plane-wave expansion (PWE) method, and the modal distribution of the point-defect resonant cavity was analyzed. Using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, the transmission characteristics of the filtering system were investigated. The effects of linear variations in the distances from the reflector and reflection cavity to the reference plane of the resonant cavity on the system’s download efficiency were analyzed. Additionally, the variation patterns of transmittance peaks with these distance parameters were elucidated. Guided by the calculation results, the simulation design of the filtering system was implemented. The simulation results demonstrate that the filtering system can couple the optical signals with wavelengths of 1 561.2 nm and 1 570.5 nm into their respective drop waveguides with relatively high precision. The transmission efficiencies of them are 98.9% and 97.2%. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) values are 3.3 nm and 3.5 nm. The quality factors are 473 and 449, and the wavelength interval is =9.3 nm. The proposed filtering system exhibits a compact footprint of merely 20.88 22.04 with a structurally simple configuration. Featuring a tunable operating wavelength and high compatibility with large-scale integration, this study can provide certain theoretical foundations and conceptual insights for the design of integrated optical circuits in optical communications.
摘要:This study explored the effect of varying the angle of attack of airfoil on the output performance of the valveless piezoelectric pump. It placed symmetrical and asymmetrical airfoils in the tube respectively, and designed valveless piezoelectric pumps with airfoil baffles at various angles of attack(0°,5°,10° and 15°). Output performance tests were conducted on the piezoelectric pump. Additionally, flow field simulations using COMSOL software were performed to analyze the vortex structures and energy dissipation characteristics. The experimental results showed that the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0015 piezoelectric pump performs optimally at a 0° angle of attack, achieving a maximum flow rate of 235.56 ml/min. Under the same angle of attack, the performance of the piezoelectric pump with symmetrical airfoil baffles was better than that of the piezoelectric pump with asymmetrical airfoil baffles. As the angle of attack increased, the piezoelectric pump performance decreased. The simulation results indicated that the scale of the vortices around the airfoil baffle during the reverse flow was higher than that during the positive flow; under the same angle of attack, the vortices around the NACA63-412 airfoil were significantly denser and larger than those around the NACA0015 airfoil. Increasing the angle of attack led to vortex aggregation and intensity rise, accompanied by escalated energy dissipation. The study concludes that the angle of attack significantly affects the pump's performance, with larger angles exacerbating energy dissipation and reducing output. This research provides new insights and theoretical foundations for the design and optimization of high-performance valveless piezoelectric pumps.
摘要:Aiming at the problem that traditional displacement sensors do not balance both long range and high precision, a new displacement measurement method combining the time-grating principle with the magnetoresistive effect based on a spherical array was proposed. The orthogonally changing magnetic field was constructed by using spatial orthogonal excitation windings, and the magnetic field was accurately constraint-controlled by the spatial periodic sensing structure. The mapping relationship between magnetoresistance and displacement was established by using induction windings to pick up the change in the magnetic field, which revealed the displacement sensing mechanism. The model parameters were optimized by electromagnetic simulation, the sensor prototype was developed, the experimental platform was built, and the measurement error experiments of the sensor were conducted. The experimental results show that the sensor has a measurement error of ±9.4 μm and a resolution of 0.1 μm within the 512 mm measurement range. Micrometer scale measurement accuracy is realized using the millimeter scale sensing unit, which greatly reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the sensor. Furthermore, the measurement range can be increased with the requirements of the applications, and its high resolution measurement can be achieved without the interpolation technology. It can be used in harsh environments such as strong oil pollution conditions, which promises the significant academic value and engineering application value.

摘要:To screen the concentrations of targeted drugs, a cell co-culture microfluidic device with an integrated concentration gradient generator was designed and fabricated. The principles of concentration gradient generation, the concentration fields, the velocity fields, and the ability of cell co-culture within the device were studied. A microchannel model capable of generating a 5∶1∶0 concentration gradient was designed based on the equivalent circuit principle, using a series-parallel structure to integrate the concentration gradient unit with the cell co-culture unit. The velocity and concentration fields were simulated and validated using the laminar flow and mass transfer modules in the finite element simulation software Comsol. The microfluidic device was fabricated using soft lithography techniques, and fluorescein sodium solution and polystyrene suspension with a 1 µm diameter were used to simulate drug concentration distribution. Co-culture of Hela cells and A549 cells was performed within the device, and the growth curves and folate receptor targeting of both cell types were analyzed. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the designed microfluidic device could generate the desired concentration gradient (5∶1∶0 ratio), with concentration variation within each branch cell culture unit below 0.1%. The velocity distribution in the cell culture unit is uniform, with an average flow velocity of (7.1±0.3)µm/s under an inlet flow rate of 925 µm/s. The growth of both cell types follows an S-shaped growth curve, and membrane staining experiments demonstrate the successful parallel co-culture of two cell types within the microfluidic device. These findings demonstrate that microfluidic device could simulate the in vivo fluidic environment of cells and provide a technological platform for targeted drug concentration screening and personalized therapy.
摘要:Most of the existing methods of remote sensing image super-resolution are unable to fully explore the self-similarity information at hybrid scales and the correlation between cross-scale regions. Moreover, these methods ignore the ability of the frequency domain to perceive the high-frequency information of the images. To address this problem, a Spatial Adaptation and Frequency Fusion Network (SAF2Net) was proposed. Firstly, SAF2Net introduced a hybrid-scale spatially-adaptive feature modulation, which adopted a feature pyramid-like approach to obtain discriminative features at different scales and enriched the expression ability of multi-scale features. Subsequently, a global multi-scale field selection block was designed to extract the correlation features of cross-scale regions. On this basis, a spatial adaptively selection block and a frequency separation selection block were introduced to fuse space-frequency complementary information to enhance local features, improving the model's ability to model the high-frequency content of images. Multiple sets of experiments are conducted on two remote sensing image datasets, which indicates that the quantitative evaluation metrics obtained by SAF2Net outperform those of other comparative methods. Taking the UCMerced dataset with 3 times super-resolution as an example, the proposed method improves PSNR and SSIM by 0.11 dB and 0.003 3, respectively, in compared with the next best method HAUNet. In terms of the subjective visual quality, SAF2Net is able to recover more clear texture details. The experimental results demonstrate that the SAF2Net proposed is capable of mining the hybrid-scale global information from two different perspectives as well as fusing the space-frequency complementary features effectively, which exhibits competitive performance in the remote sensing image super-resolution task.

摘要:Planar feature is widely used in structured environments as a high-level geometric feature and is a good complement to most Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems. In order to address the fact that new errors were introduced when fusing feature points with planar features and the possibility of planar degradation existed, we proposed a monocular visual inertial SLAM system that fuses heterogeneous features in this paper. Firstly, feature points were extracted from grayscale images; secondly, the set of feature points was triangulated and the results of the triangulation were transformed to the world coordinate system. Next, the initialization process was modeled as a constrained optimization problem and solved with the alternating-direction multiplier method in a distributed fashion. Then, the similar planes were clustered and the planes were fitted with the proposed planar collision probability model to get the corresponding bounded-plane parameters. Finally, geometric constraints on the plane features were introduced in the factor graph, and the camera motion as well as the plane parameters were simultaneously optimized by the error model. Compared with the typical visual inertial SLAM system VINS, the mean absolute trajectory error of the system proposed in this paper was reduced by 50% in the EuRoC dataset. The mean absolute trajectory error on the TUM-VI dataset was reduced by 40%. The method works stably and continuously in structured scenes and improves the localization accuracy and robustness in weakly textured regions.

摘要:To enhance target detection accuracy in smart grid monitoring, especially under the challenging conditions posed by complex outdoor lighting, a comprehensive framework for fusing polarized and intensity images was proposed. To improve the accuracy of detecting potential hazards in smart grid monitoring systems under complex lighting conditions, this paper proposed a detection method based on the fusion of polarization and light intensity dual-modal information. This framework addressed the inherent difficulties of image analysis in diverse lighting scenarios, ensuring robust and accurate monitoring. Firstly, a dual-path feature fusion network was designed, which used dense convolutional modules to extract features from polarized intensity images and polarization degree images separately, thereby enhancing the retention capability of shallow information. Simultaneously, by constructing feature dependencies in both spatial and channel dimensions, new feature maps were selectively generated, solving the feature aggregation problem in feature fusion. Finally, a multi-scale adaptive structural similarity loss function was introduced, and a weighted algorithm was designed to optimize the quality of reference image generation, enhancing the structural fidelity and target saliency of the fused images, and further improving their quality. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared to state-of-the-art image fusion algorithms, the proposed method shows significant performance improvements across multiple evaluation metrics, compared to intensity images(S0). These improvements are not only statistically significant but also visually apparent, as the fused images produced by our method are clearer, more detailed, and more informative. Ablation experiments further validate the effectiveness and practicality of the network modules and loss function. In a custom target detection dataset, the fused images generated by this method achieve a recognition accuracy of 91.5%, with an mAP@0.5 score of 0.916, These results showcase the superior performance of our method in objective evaluations and highlight its significant contribution to enhancing the detection accuracy of subsequent target detection networks in smart grid monitoring.
摘要:This paper proposed an ultra-fusion residual marching geometric perception algorithm, which aimed to solve the challenges of multi-scale, dense overlap, and uneven data distribution in remote sensing image object detection. The hyper-fusion residual marching module optimized the network structure, and its multi-level convolution operation used different scale receptive fields to capture the details of each scale of the object, enhance the model’s perception of the object features, and achieve small-scale object feature extraction and large-scale object accurate positioning. The detection effect was accurately evaluated by calculating the geometric similarity between the detection and the real results, and the fit was carefully considered in the dense overlapping scene of the object, so as to screen the final results, reduce missed detection and false detection, and improve the mAP of the algorithm. A multi-path feature fusion module was designed to fuse different levels of feature information, extract richer object features, enhance network representation and discrimination capabilities, and improve detection mAP and stability. The experimental results on the NWPU-VHR-10 data set showed that mPrecision, mRecall, mAP and mF1 Score were increased by 0.041 9,0.104 0,0.045 5 and 0.085 0, respectively. The experimental results on the RSOD data set show that mPrecision, mRecall, mAP, and mF1 Score are increased by 0.022 1,0.103 4,0.061 9, and 0.087 5, respectively. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed ultra-fusion residual marching geometric perception algorithm in the field of remote sensing image object detection are fully proved.
摘要:Underwater object detection technology plays an important role in areas of marine resource exploration and environmental protection. However, the problems of blurred imaging and variable object scales in underwater environments pose difficulties for detection tasks. As a result, it is challenging for accurate underwater object feature extraction, which influences the detection performance of existing methods. To solve the above-mentioned problem, a feature enhanced hybrid network was proposed to improve the detection accuracy of underwater objects. Firstly, a global-local hybrid feature enhancement network was constructed. The long-range global information in the image was extracted via self-attention mechanisms, and the richer local detailed information was further calculated through the devised convolutional attention enhancement module. The global and local relationships in the images could be better established, hence the multiscale feature representation powers of the network were enhanced. Subsequently, in order to suppress the interference of imaging blurriness and low contrast in underwater environments, a two-stage object perception enhanced detection head was constructed. The depth of the first-stage region proposal network was increased, thus more semantic information of underwater objects could be extracted. Besides, the self-attention mechanism was introduced in the second stage to suppress the interference from background noise. Moreover, an intersection-over-union branch was added to further integrate the prior information of objects obtained from the first stage into the second stage. The proposed method achieves 37.8%, 61.8%, and 82.0%, 98.9% of and on the TrashCan and WPBB datasets respectively. The qualitative and quantitative comparison experimental results demonstrate that this method could obtain superior detection results for various underwater objects.
摘要:Most existing visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems assume a static environment. This assumption leads to significant degradation in positioning accuracy in dynamic scenes.To address this limitation, this paper introduced an object-level dynamic SLAM method. The method integrated object detection with optical flow techniques. Object detection was used to acquire detailed semantic information about objects. Optical flow and object reprojection technologies were employed to distinguish between static and dynamic objects. Feature points associated with dynamic objects were subsequently removed. An optimal matching relationship was established between detected objects and map objects. Static objects were optimized within keyframes to improve localization accuracy. A dynamic quadratic surface optimization strategy was introduced. This strategy optimized dynamic quadratic surface models in the object map. It also enabled the tracking of dynamic object trajectories. Finally, the method reconstructed a dense static background. Experiments were conducted on the Bonn and TUM datasets. The results demonstrate significant improvements in accuracy. Absolute pose accuracy improves by 44.3%. Relative pose accuracy improves by 19.0%. These findings confirm that our method can deliver more precise and robust localization in dynamic scenes. To further validate the system’s online performance, real-world dynamic scenarios were tested. The experimental results met the expected performance standards. These tests confirmed the system’s reliability in practical applications.
摘要:In order to solve the problems of large size, low efficiency, and high deployment requirements for embedded devices of infrared multi-spectral ship targe detection models, a lightweight ship targe infrared multi-spectral detection model YOLOv8n-MFLW was proposed. Firstly, the model replaced the backbone network with a lightweight network, HGNetv2. Based on GSConv convolution, the modules of HGBlock and C2f were reconstructed to reduce the model parameter count while retaining the model's feature extraction and fusion capabilities. A self-adaptive sparse structured pruning algorithm, La-Depgraph, was proposed to prune the model, leading to a significant reduction in the model's parameters. Finally, an intermediate feature knowledge distillation learning strategy was employed to recover the accuracy loss caused by pruning and enhance the model's detection performance. Experimental results show that compared to the original model, the improved lightweight ship targe infrared multi-spectral fusion detection model achieves a detection accuracy of 96.4%, an increase of 1.2%. The model's parameter count, computational complexity, and memory usage are only 0.9 MB, 3.5 GFlops, and 2.3 MB, respectively, reduced by 88.1%, 81.2%, and 82.8%. Therefore, the proposed model is small in size and high in accuracy, it has a better detection performance and is capable for ship target detection tasks in complex environments.
