Improved interframe registration based nonuniformity correction for focal plane arrays

In this paper, an improved interframe registration based nonuniformity correction algorithm for focal plane arrays is proposed. The method simultaneously estimates detector parameters and carries out the nonuniformity correction by minimizing the mean square error between the two properly registered image frames. A new masked phase correlation algorithm is introduced to obtain reliable shift estimates in the presence of fixed pattern noise. The use of an outliers exclusion scheme, together with a variable step size strategy, could not only promote the correction precision considerably, but also eliminate ghosting artifacts effectively. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated with clean infrared image sequences with simulated nonuniformity and real pattern noise. We also apply the method to a real-time imaging system to show how effective it is in reducing noise and the ghosting artifacts.

Evaluation of approximations for concentration-dependent micropore diffusion in sorbent with bidisperse pore structure

Average diffusivity linear driving force (AD-LDF) and concentration-dependent diffusivity linear driving force (CDD-LDF) approximations are introduced to simplify the precise model describing the concentration-dependent micropore diffusion in bidisperse sorbents, and are compared with the precise model in predicting the dynamics of a sorption process under two different perturbations (i.e., step change perturbations and sinusoidal wave perturbation) with different concentrations imposed at the exterior surface of the bidisperse sorbent. The performance of the two approximations is validated by the precise model and experiments. The AD-LDF performs better in step adsorption and CDD-LDF does better in step desorption. Under sinusoidal wave perturbation, the CDD-LDF performs better. The different levels of consistency of the two approximations with the precise model are attributed to the different definitions of the diffusivities.     

The invariant of the stiffness filter function with the weight filter function of the power function form

Based on the independent, continuous and mapping (ICM) method and homogenization method, a research model is constructed to propose and deduce a theorem and corollary from the invariant between the weight filter function and the corresponding stiffness filter function of the form of power function. The efficiency in searching for optimum solution will be raised via the choice of rational filter functions, so the above mentioned results are very important to the further study of structural topology optimization.     

Undersampled Windowed Exponentials and Their Applications

We characterize the completeness and frame/basis property of a union of under-sampled windowed exponentials of the form

$$ {\mathcal{F}}(g): =\bigl\{ e^{2\pi i n x}: n\ge 0\bigr\} \cup \bigl\{ g(x)e^{2\pi i nx}: n< 0\bigr\} $$

for \(L^{2}[-1/2,1/2]\) by the spectra of the Toeplitz operators with the symbol \(g\). Using this characterization, we classify all real-valued functions \(g\) such that \({\mathcal{F}}(g)\) is complete or forms a frame/basis. Conversely, we use the classical non-harmonic Fourier series theory to determine all \(\xi \) such that the Toeplitz operators with the symbol \(e^{2\pi i \xi x}\) is injective or invertible. These results demonstrate an elegant interaction between frame theory of windowed exponentials and Toeplitz operators. Finally, we use our results to answer some open questions in dynamical sampling, and derivative samplings on Paley-Wiener spaces of bandlimited functions.

针对现有光学加密方法进行彩色图像加密时加密容量低、解密图像失真度高等问题,提出一种基于压缩全息和空分复用的多彩色图像加密方法.在光学加密阶段,结合改进的Mach-Zehnder干涉仪与空分复用技术,通过不同的随机相位掩膜对多幅彩色图像进行同时加密,仅需单次曝光即可得到由多幅彩色图像加密的全息图.在解密过程中,由于记录全息图的过程可建模为压缩感知过程,使用两步迭代收缩/阈值算法即可求解.实验结果表明,提出的加密系统加密容量大,解密重建图像质量高,结合压缩感知理论,有效地消除了同轴全息中平方场项对解密重建性能的影响,解密图像平均峰值信噪比仅下降约2～5dB;密钥安全性高,随机相位掩膜与传播距离均起到密钥的作用,在随机相位掩膜错误或传播距离仅偏移0.25%时,便无法解密出原始彩色图像;且对噪声与遮挡性攻击具有良好的鲁棒性,解密重建性能随噪声增大下降趋势缓慢,加密全息图80%信息受到遮挡性攻击时,仍可取得良好的解密重建结果.     

Correlations between microstructure of α‐row nuclei and polymorphism of shear‐induced iPP/carbon fiber cylindrite

Herein, we reported the formation mechanism of hybrid crystalline (cylindrite) in isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/carbon fiber (CF) via pulling a CF within the iPP melt. The α‐row nuclei layer closely attached to the surface of CF acts as a self‐nucleation site, rather than a heterogeneous nucleation one, to grow cylindrites. As a result, the polymorphic feature of iPP/CF cylindrite is significantly influenced by the microstructure of α‐row nuclei. With decreasing crystallization temperature (T_c), the polymorphic cylindrite changes from pure α‐form to mixed α‐/β‐form and to β‐rich form. The main characteristics of this change include: (a) the outlines of α‐row nuclei layer correspond to wave‐like, saw‐like, and straight lines; (b) the orientation level of iPP molecules in the α‐row nuclei layer become higher; (c) the α‐lamellae rearrange from loose to compact; and (d) the distance between the growth sites of β‐sectors and the surface of CF is evidently longer than in the case of α‐sectors. Moreover, this study provides a guideline for developing the interfacial enhanced iPP/CF composites through manipulation of polymorphic structure in cylindrites. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
