Abstract:Gas Chromatography (GC) is usually used in analysis of aromatic contents of naphtha-cracked tar, however, it costs a longer analytical period.For solve this problem mentioned above, this paper applies Fourier Near-infrared Spectroscopy(NIRS) and corresponding software to the determination of aromatic contents of naphtha-cracked tar to shorten the analytical time and improve the analytical efficiency.Since cracked tars have a wide difference in both color and aromatic contents, modified sample tubes, outlier judgment, selective wave numbers and optimal preprocessing methods for NIR spectra were proposed to optimize 6 predict models of aromatics, by which the five models with carbon numbers from 6 to 10 and one for total aromatics were improved.Then, a rapid analysis method based on NIRS for determining aromatics in naphtha-cracked tar of stream cracking was established.With the method, the analytical time for per sample was shorten within 2 min.Experimental results show that the 6 optimized predict models can offer the correlation coefficients (R) of 0.995 20, 0.993 08, 0.946 33, 0.978 99, 0.948 46 and 0.998 63 respectively, and the Root Mean Square Errors of Cross Validation (RMSECV) of 1.07, 0.806, 2.17, 0.979, 0.665 and 1.15, respectively.The aromatic amounts analyzed by NIRS for random samples are fitted well with those determined by GC and the absolute values of t-test are all smaller than the critical value(t0.05(17)=2.11).Moreover, the NIRS analysis also indicates that the Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) is smaller than 2%, which means the established NIRS method has good repeatability.
Abstract:In consideration of the great influence of the sheet resistance of Ge thin film in a single-photon counting imaging detector on its imaging characteristics, this paper explores the selection of the resistance range.As the resistance values are relative to charge cloud diffusion on the Ge thin film, it will effect the counting rate and resolution ratio of the single-photon counting imaging detector.Therefore, the charge cloud diffusion characteristics on the Ge thin film under condition of absorbing boundary were analyzed based on FICK diffusion law and the relationship of the time of charge cloud diffusion on the thin film and the sheet resistance was calculated by the finite diffusion equation.The analysis results show that the photon counting detector has well spatial resolution and counting rate when the sheet resistance of Ge thin film is between 30 MΩ/□ and 2700 MΩ/□.The imaging experiments on Ge film anode with different resistance values were performed, and obtained data demonstrate that the resolution of the photo counting detector can reach 0.5 mm at counting rate of 53 kc/s when sheet resistance of Ge thin film is in the theoretical range, which proves the validity of resistance value selection range by the proposed method.

Abstract:Based on channel transmission properties of the indoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems, a link model for VLC systems was described.Then the Interval Pulse Position Modulation (IMPPM) scheme applied in VLC systems was proposed by using the link model.The symbolic structure of the IMPPM scheme was introduced, then the scheme was compared with the other two modulation schemes, Pulse Position Modulation(PPM) and Multi-PPM(MPPM), on the bandwidths, power requirements and Bit Error Rates(BERs).Simulation results indicate that IMPPM applied in VLC systems can make a better balance in bandwidths and power requirements when the source bit(M) is 3, 4, 5.As the BER reaches 10-3, the received optical power of IMPPM is 2 dB and 4 dB lower than those of the MPPM and PPM respectively.Moreover, the BER of IMPPM is superior to that of the MPPM because the pulses of IMPPM has intervals.Obtained results demonstrate that the IMPPM has low power requirements and better performance on anti-multipath and inter-symbol interference compared with that of PPM and MPPM.

Abstract:A vibration measurement system based on a reflection holographic grating was built up by using the photorefractive crystal bismuth silicate (BSO) as recording media.The reference beam and the signal beam modulated by a vibration signal were injected into the crystal and to form the reflection dynamic holography, then the diffraction was happened simultaneously.The vibration signal could be obtained by demodulating the interference signal formed by the transmitted signal beam and the diffracted reference beam.The impact of the measurement conditions on the measuring sensitivity was studied which include the convergence angle between the two incident beams, light intensity ratio, and the crystal orientation.The relationship between coupling gain and measuring sensitivity was analyzed.Experimental results indicate that this system can detect the vibration signal with a frequency up to 360 kHz when the piezoelectric ceramic(PZT) is a measuring target.It demonstrates that the measuring sensitivity by the proposed system is higher than that of the vibration measurement system based on the transmission holographic grating, because the reflection holography reduces the space period of Bragg grating and improves the coupling efficiency of the reference and signal beams.

Abstract:The thermal-structure coupling for a pico-satellite and its separation mechanism was analyzed to guide a rational design of the fit clearance value between the satellite and guide rail and to ensure safe and reliable satellite separation.On the basis of the geometry relations of the satellite, the earth, and the sun in the process of launching, the internal and external heat flows absorbed by the pico-satellite and its separation mechanism were analyzed.The temperature field and thermal deformation in satellite launching were obtained by finite element analysis.The clearance fit value between the satellite and guide rail was designed on the basis of above analysis.The analysis results show that the maximum deformation occurs on the shady side because of the cold dark environment and conduction heat, and the pico-satellite shell and its guide rail surface are not distorted and deformed seriously.The amount of maximum deformation is 62.3 μm when the preload force is 600 N and that is 63 μm when the preload force is 300 N.Based on above analysis results, the fit clearance was selected.These results demonstrate that the pico-satellite and its separation mechanism can separate normally under the high and low temperature tests.The on-orbit separation attitude is in agreement with simulation results well.All of these verify that the fit clearance between the satellite and its guide rail is reasonable and it can be used in the structural design and thermal control design of pico-satellite separation mechanisms.
Abstract:As the measuring sensitivity of a Spin-Exchange-Relaxation-Free(SERF) atomic magnetometer will be reduced when it is suffered from the disturbance by environment magnetic field.Therefore,according to the measuring principle of the SERF atomic magnetometer, this paper proposes a active magnetic compensation method for the external magnetic field disturbance based on in-situ magnetic measurement.Firstly, a modem was used to decouple the magnetic field in three directions to achieve the magnetic information of the three axes.Then, the measuring information from three directions was taken as a feedback to adjust the current of coil to generate a magnetic field which is opposite and equal to the disturbance.Finally, an active magnetic compensation system for SERF atomic magnetometer was built to compensate the magnetic disturbance in real time.Compared with the manual compensation method, the proposed method reduces the surplus magnetic field from 0.317 8 nT to 0.040 4 nT, and the mean square error from 0.348 1 nT to 0.024 7 nT.The experimental results validate the efficiency of the active magnetic compensation method.

Abstract:The merits and demerits of existing reference filtering methods for evaluation of the three-dimensional engineering surface roughness were discussed.It points out that the Dual-tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) is suitable for the three-dimensional surface reference filter because of its advantages of approximate translation invariance and improved directional selectivity.However, its filtering is too idealistic, which will cause an opposition at the point of distortion of the filtered reference.Therefore,this paper brings the airspace bilateral filtering into the DT-CWT transform to enhance its robustness at the point of distortion of the filtered reference.The low-frequency reference signal was obtained through reconstruction and each reconstructed coefficient was bilaterally filtered, then, the robustness of reference filtering was enhanced by the DT-CWT filtering.The simulation data show that the robustness filtering under the conditions of abnormal interference is enhanced by the improved DT-CWT, the precision error is 0.183 2×10-10 m and the reconstruction error is 0.016 1×10-10 m, which is much lower than that of the traditional methods.The processing results for practical measurement data indicate that the improved method well overcomes the edge effects and suppresses the effects of deep valley in the surface on the filtering results.It provides a new way for evaluation of engineering surface roughness.

Abstract:A novel method based on Supervised Locality Preserving Projection (SLPP) and False Nearest Neighbor (FNN) was proposed for selecting the most proper feature for nonlinear pattern classification.In the proposed method, nonlinear original data were mapped to the supervised locality preserving subspace to eliminate the existing multi-collinearity among the features.Then, the interpretation capability for original features was estimated through calculating the variable mapping distance in the supervised locality preserving subspace.The nearest neighbor classifier based on each subset obtained by eliminating weak features successively was constructed.Finally, the optimal feature subset was selected corresponding to the highest recognition accuracy and the least number of features.The experiment on synthetic dataset shows that the proposed method can obtain an optimal feature subset containing the essential features in accordance with the classification goal.The method was used to select the features of low resistivity hydrocarbon reservoir, and the result indicates that the obtained optimal feature subset contains over 50% less feature and achieves 8% higher recognition accuracy as compared to that of the all-feature set.These results validate that the proposed method can offer excellent abilities of original feature selection and nonlinear feature selection.
Abstract:For multitasking environment of an embedded system, an improved method called hybrid model for power management algorithm was proposed for modeling of system with general distribution.First, the dynamic power management strategy algorithm was introduced, and the reason why it needed to be improved was expounded.Then, the Rescaled Range Analysis(R/S)method was used to analyze the long distance correlation of non-stationary time service requests and the corresponding strategy was selected depending on the different results.These strategies are remaining battery power timeout strategy, fuzzy not quite PID strategy and semi-Markov random strategy.Finally, the method for determining the strategy parameters was given and the strategy proposed in this paper was analyzed experimentally.The experimental results show that this strategy makes up for the deficiency of conventional dynamic power management strategy and has more extensive adaptability.Under the condition of 10% performance loss,the average system power consumption is reduced by 37%,and the hit rate is more than 60%.The algorithm reduces power consumption more efficiently than other methods, and is applicable in embedded systems.

Abstract:The compressed data obtained from the load of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) are highly suffer from interference when it transmits in the wireless communication link with a rate of bit error of 1×10-5, so that the ground terminal can not decode and display the video data.This paper proposes an efficient erasure coding technology to improve the error resilience ability of the compressed stream based on analysis of the error mode of the down-link data transmission.Firstly, the encode data were framed according to the number of bytes and the improved fast Vandermonde erasure coding was used to the column data framed.Then the fast Cyclic Redundancy Check(CRC) was used for the encoded data according to the frame format.Finally, the stream was encoded and put into the transmission channel.Experiment results show that this erasure coding technology reduces the channel bit error rate from 1×10-5 to 1×10-8, and the compressed stream can be decoded and displayed correctly.Moreover, the technology has the features of low computational complexity, small delay, and easy implementation by the hardware.The erasure coding has applied to measuring and control systems of UAVs successfully.
Abstract:The footprint detection methods in criminal cases were discussed.As existing footprint comparison does not separate the footprint depth information and texture information, a comparison method fusing texture features and depth information was proposed to achieve automatic comparison of footprints.First, 3-D information of a footprint was obtained through four-step phase shift compensation method to retain much 3-D information of the footprint, and a 2-D variable-scale Gaussian filter was designed to separate footprint surface texture features and depth information.Finally, the regional cross-correlation measurement method was used to calculate the similarity of texture information and the depth information of the 3-D footprint, and the similarity information was quantized and translated in qualitative results by proposed strategy.Experimental results show that the proposed method can separate the texture and depth information of footprints effectively, and footprint comparison is realized automatically by computer software.Comparing to the traditional method of 2-D image grayscale information, the proposed algorithm describes the footprint information more completely.The accuracy rate of automatic comparison is higher than 90%, and the accuracy rate of comparison reaches 100% after adding human intervention based on the existing database, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:To quickly and intuitively finish the Euclidean epipolar rectification of weakly calibrated stereo pairs(namely,the camera intrinsic parameters are known and the camera external parameters are unknown), an integral Euclidean epipolar rectification frame was proposed.Firstly, a novel essential matrix decomposition and unique solution determination algorithm independent on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) operation was proposed to determine the position and orientation information between two cameras.Then, the problem of traditional Euclidean epipolar rectification was generalized, and the infinite homography matrixes were constructed by the estimated camera position and orientation to finish the rectification process of stereo pairs.Finally, the eight groups of SYNTIM images were used to validate the correctness and accuracy of the rectification frame.Experimental results indicate that the proposed frame has the advantages of intuitive form, low computational complexity and easy implementation, as well as the explicit geometrical meanings.As comparison with traditional Euclidean epipolar rectification method, it can well remove the horizontal or vertical disparities of stereo pairs, and can offer higher rectification accuracy.
Abstract:According to typical problems of low signal to noise ratio and fuzzy edges of target details in an infrared image, this article proposes a infrared image enhancement algorithm for image details based on gradient histogram transform.By analyzing the gradient histogram of the infrared image, a Gaussian function to extend the gradient histogram was constructed to increase the gradient value.By using the histogram specification method to realize the image gradient histogram specification, the transform gradient field was obtained.The Total Variation (TV) model was introduced to control the noise while reconstructing the gradient field.The experiment results indicate that the image information entropy of the algorithm is improved significantly as compared with that of histogram equalization method and specification method.Therefore, it enhances image details and gives qualified image information for target detection, tracking and identification.Based on the finite difference iteration and Visiual C + + programming, the proposed algorithm has image processing time of about 40 ms for an image with the size of 480 pixel×480 pixel, which satisfies the requirements of engineering applications in image processing.
Abstract:To reduce the calculation amount of quaternion Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm, a Minimum Norm(MN) quaternion method based on the quaternion form of an acoustic sensor vector was proposed for estimating Direction of Arrival (DOA).First, based on the MN principle, the (M-N)×M dimension (M is the number of array sensors, N is the number of signal sources) orthogonal noise subspace vectors were converted to a 1×M dimension quaternion noise vector.Then, a simplified formula for peak search was proposed.The searching computation amount of Quaternion MN(Q-MN)was analyzed theoretically.Compared with the Q-MUSIC algorithm, the Q-MN algorithm can save at least 50% of the peak search volume.Experimental results show that the orthogonality of the steering vector with the low-dimensional noise vector derived by proposed method is superior to that with high dimensional noise subspace.When the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is 0 dB, the Vandermonde norm and the spatial spectrum peak value of Q-MN algorithm are 1/3 times and 3 times as much as those of Q-MUSIC.The Q-MN algorithm can successfully identify the DOA of signal sources, and its resolution is equivalent to that of Q-MUSIC algorithm.Moreover, it can be applied to not only L-shaped arrays, but also plane arrays and parallel linear arrays.

Abstract:A new rapid detection and recognition method was proposed for those objects whose image sizes would change in movement processing.Based on Multilevel Orientation Run Length Coding (MORLC) method,the method can generate a new multilevel byte code and object feature templet forms.It is a byte coding and templets and characterized by smaller data amounts, smaller storage addresses, easy constructing, and can choose different classes of sample forms.According to different application requirements, two level byte code in MORLC method and system theory of templets were analyzed, and the experimental data from detection and recognition of moving objects using MORLC two level byte code were given.A detection and recognition experiment on a pedestrian and its position in a static background was performed.The experimental results show that the multilevel byte code and object feature matching templet form have higher processing speeds, robust matching and identification, and not easily get wrong matching.This method is especially suitable for changed images caused by detecting object movement in the scene projection, which means it is not sensitive to image sizes.Another advantage of this method is high processing efficiency.
