A distortion correction algorithm for fish-eye panoramic image of master-slave visual surveillance system

A master-slave visual surveillance system is composed of one fish-eye panoramic camera and one dynamic pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) dome camera. In order to make PTZ dome camera zoom into all targets of interest in panoramic image, the fish-eye panoramic camera is fixed inclining towards the gravity direction, which may cause more obvious distortion. This paper proposed a novel method for the distortion correction of captured panoramic image based on the midpoint circle algorithm (MCA). The method uses incremental calculation of decision parameters to determine the pixel positions along a circle circumference, and both of the vertical and horizontal are rectilinearised. Experimental results show that our correction method based on MCA is efficient and effective. In particular, due to its low computational cost, our method can be applied on embedded camera platform without any extra hardware resources.     

叶片衰老影响木兰科植物聚类的FTIR研究

傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)结合聚类分析技术应用于木兰科植物不同亚族分类,研究了叶片衰老对聚类分析效果的影响。测试了木兰科三个亚族14种植物的幼叶、成叶、老黄叶红外光谱,结果显示三个亚族植物叶片红外光谱差异不大;同种植物叶片不同生长期的红外光谱吸收峰位置基本一致,但一些特征峰的峰强有变化;用1 800～700 cm-1范围二阶导数光谱结合聚类分析,发现成叶二阶导数光谱聚类分析能够正确对样品分类,幼叶和老黄叶二阶导数谱聚类分析效果不如成叶,说明叶片衰老过程化学成分变化影响聚类分析效果,聚类分析时取成叶样品为好。     

Central Limit Theorems for the Shrinking Target Problem

Suppose B _i :=B(p,r _i ) are nested balls of radius r _i about a point p in a dynamical system (T,X,μ). The question of whether T ⁱ x∈B _i infinitely often (i.o.) for μ a.e. x is often called the shrinking target problem. In many dynamical settings it has been shown that if $E_{n}:=\sum_{i=1}^{n} \mu(B_{i})$ diverges then there is a quantitative rate of entry and $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{1}{E_{n}} \sum_{j=1}^{n} 1_{B_{i}} (T^{i} x) \to1$ for μ a.e. x∈X. This is a self-norming type of strong law of large numbers. We establish self-norming central limit theorems (CLT) of the form $\lim_{ n\to\infty} \frac{1}{a_{n}} \sum_{i=1}^{n} [1_{B_{i}} (T^{i} x)-\mu(B_{i})] \to N(0,1)$ (in distribution) for a variety of hyperbolic and non-uniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems, the normalization constants are $a^{2}_{n} \sim E [\sum_{i=1}^{n} 1_{B_{i}} (T^{i} x)-\mu(B_{i})]^{2}$ . Dynamical systems to which our results apply include smooth expanding maps of the interval, Rychlik type maps, Gibbs-Markov maps, rational maps and, in higher dimensions, piecewise expanding maps. For such central limit theorems the main difficulty is to prove that the non-stationary variance has a limit in probability.

Photoinduced charge injection in the metal/organic interface studied by transient photovoltage measurements with bias

Transient photovoltage of ITO/organic/Al cells is studied under different bias polarities and voltages.It is found that for an ITO/NPB/Al cell,light incidence on the Al side induces more bias-dependent transient photovoltage variation when the photovoltage is positive than when it is negative.However,for an ITO/C60 /Al cell,the variation characteristics of transient photovoltage is reversed.These results support the previously proposed mechanism that Al could inject charges into the organic layer upon photon excitation,indicating that the absorption of electrode can also contribute to photovoltaic effect.     

Solitons and intrinsic localized modes in a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chain

By use of the Hartree approximation and the method of multiple scales, we investigate quantum solitons and intrinsic localized modes in a one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chain. It is shown that there exist solitons of two different quantum frequency bands: i.e., magnetic optical solitons and acoustic solitons. At the boundary of the Brillouin zone, these solitons become quantum intrinsic localized modes: their quantum eigenfrequencies are below the bottom of the harmonic optical frequency band and above the top of the harmonic acoustic frequency band.     

A velocity-difference-separation model for car-following theory

We introduce a velocity-difference-separation model that modifies the previous models in the literature. The improvement of this new model over the previous ones lies in that it not only theoretically retains many strong points of the previous ones, but also performs more realistically than others in the dynamical evolution of congestion. Furthermore, the proposed model is investigated with analytic and numerical methods, with the finding that it can demonstrate some complex physical features observed in real traffic such as the existence of three phases: free flow, synchronized flow, and wide moving jam; sudden flow drop in flow-density plane; and traffic hysteresis in transition between the free and the synchronized flow.     

Generation of high power laser at 1314 nm from a diode-side-pumped Nd:YLF module

We demonstrate a high power continuous-wave （CW） and acoustic-optically （AO） Q-switched 1314-nm laser with a diode-side-pumped Nd：YLF module. A maximum CW output power of 21.6 W is obtained with a diode pump power of 180 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 12.0% and a slope efficiency of 16.1%. In the Q-switching operation, a highest pulse energy of 3.8 mJ is obtained at a pulse repetition rate of 1 kHz. The shortest pulse width and maximum single peak power are 101.9 ns and 37.3 kW, respectively.     

Effect of pressure on the performance of plasma synthetic jet actuator

The effects of the ambient air pressure level on the performance of plasma synthetic jet actuator have been investigated through electrical and optical diagnostics.Pressures from 1 atm down to 0.1 atm were tested with a 10 Hz excitation.The discharge measurement demonstrates that there is a voltage range to make the actuator work reliably.Higher pressure level needs a higher breakdown voltage,and a higher discharge current and energy deposition are produced.But when the actuator works with the maximum breakdown voltage,the fraction of the initial capacitor energy delivered to the arc is almost invariable.This preliminary study also confirms the effectiveness of the plasma synthetic jet at low pressure.Indeed,the maximum velocities of the precursor shock and the plasma jet induced by the actuator with maximum breakdown voltage are independent of the ambient pressure level;reach about 530 and 460 m/s respectively.The mass flux of the plasma jet increases with ambient pressure increasing,but the strength of the precursor shock presents a local maximum at 0.6 atm.     

一种大视场相位测量轮廓术系统标定方法

在进行大视场相位测量轮廓术系统参量标定时需要大的标定平面和精密移动台,由于携带不方便,不易进行现场标定。提出了一种用于相位测量轮廓术系统参量的高精度、现场标定方法,采用一块较小的平面标定靶在有效测量体积内不同位置多次摆放,以获取密集的数据点。先标定出摄像机的内参量和外参量,再指定一个全局参考平面和若干辅助参考平面,然后在图像平面上分区计算出每个位置标定靶上每点相对辅助参考平面的高度差和相位差,最后应用极大似然估计法估计出相位高度映射参量。实验中平面高度测量的标准偏差达到0.0433 mm。这种方法只需要较小的平面标定靶,标定过程方便、精度高,完全适合大视场三维测量相位测量轮廓术系统现场标定要求。
