A correlative classifiers approach based on particle filter and sample set for tracking occluded target

Target tracking is one of the most important issues in computer vision and has been applied in many fields of science, engineering and industry. Because of the occlusion during tracking, typical approaches with single classifier learn much of occluding background information which results in the decrease of tracking performance, and eventually lead to the failure of the tracking algorithm. This paper presents a new correlative classifiers approach to address the above problem. Our idea is to derive a group of correlative classifiers based on sample set method. Then we propose strategy to establish the classifiers and to query the suitable classifiers for the next frame tracking. In order to deal with nonlinear problem, particle filter is adopted and integrated with sample set method. For choosing the target from candidate particles, we define a similarity measurement between particles and sample set. The proposed sample set method includes the following steps. First, we cropped positive samples set around the target and negative samples set far away from the target. Second, we extracted average Haar-like feature from these samples and calculate their statistical characteristic which represents the target model. Third, we define the similarity measurement based on the statistical characteristic of these two sets to judge the similarity between candidate particles and target model. Finally, we choose the largest similarity score particle as the target in the new frame. A number of experiments show the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach when compared with other state-of-the-art trackers.     

城市光无线通信网络中的问题及其解决方案

在短距离通信中,城市光无线通信(urban optical wireless communication,UOWC)网络可以提供很高的传输速率,因而越来越受到关注.UOWC的终端包括一个光发射机和一个光接收机,它们通常安装在相距几百米的大厦的顶端.UOWC具有几个显著的优点:使用简单、重量轻便、容量巨大,而且它无需向政府相关部门交纳频率使用许可费.UOWC目前还存在一些问题,比如:在恶劣的天气中或大楼摆动时它的通信性能非常差.本文提出了克服这些缺点的一些方法.

Studies on the mechanism of Mannich reaction involving iminium salt as potential Mannich reagent. III. Furan as pseudo acid component

Structures, heats of formation, and vibrational eigenvalues have been calculated by semiempirical AM 1 quantum mechanical method for the reactants, products, and activated complexes of three Mannich reactions, namely, the reaction between potential Mannich reagent H₂N⁺ = CH₂Cl^? and furan and the conventional Mannich reactions between ammonia, formaldehyde, and furan in neutral and acidic media. It has been found that the Mannich reaction involving the potential Mannich reagent occurs more quickly than do the conventional Mannich reactions in neutral medium; the Mannich reaction in acidic medium proceeds most quickly. The results have been discussed in terms of the orbital match and static electric interaction between some atoms of reactant complexes. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Influence of anodizing voltage mode on the nanostructure of TiO2 nanotubes

The nanostructure of self-ordered porous anodic TiO₂ nanotubes (PATNTs) has extraordinary influence on their physical and chemical properties. For this reason, extensive attention has been paid on pulse anodization to regulate the nanostructure of PATNT. However, the relationships between the nanostructures and current curves still remain unclear. Based on the traditional potentiostatic and pulse anodizations, five different modes (i.e., potentiostatic, pulse, triangle wave, decrease, and increase step by step) of applied voltage and their influences on the nanostructures of PATNT have been investigated in detail. The growing rates of the nanotubes anodized under five different modes were compared for the first time. The results show that the growing rate of pulse voltage anodization is the fastest, reaching 116.4 nm min^?1. The slowest is triangle wave voltage anodization, only 59.3 nm min^?1. When the applied voltage decreases step-by-step, branched nanotubes can be formed in the bottom of PATNT. Yet, when the applied voltage increases step-by-step, triple-layer nanotubes with different diameters are formed, and the forming mechanism of this special nanostructure is discussed. The present results may be helpful to understand the mechanism of PATNT and facilitate the assembling diverse nanostructures for extensive applications in photocatalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and biomedical devices.     

Standard molar enthalpy of formation of [(C12H8N2)2Bi(O2NO)3] and its biological activity on Schizosaccharomyces pombe

The title complex [(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂Bi(O₂NO)₃] was synthesized by reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O. The structure of the complex was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. An advanced solution-reaction isoperibol microcalorimeter was applied to determine the standard molar enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K of the complex and Bi(NO₃)₃·5H₂O, giving –(798.92 ± 5.99) and –(1986.87 ± 0.20) kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. The biological effect of the complex was evaluated by microcalorimetry on the growth of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe). According to thermogenic curves, the corresponding thermokinetics and thermodynamic parameters were derived. The complex had good bioactivity on the growth metabolism of S. pombe, with the value of IC₅₀ being 2.8 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹.

     

Structure and morphology controllable synthesis of Ag/carbon hybrid with ionic liquid as soft-template and their catalytic properties

Ag/carbon hybrids were fabricated by the redox of glucose and silver nitrate (AgNO₃) in the presence of imidazolium ionic liquid ([C₁₄mim]BF₄) under hydrothermal condition. Monodisperse carbon hollow sub-microspheres encapsulating Ag nanoparticles and Ag/carbon cables were selectively prepared by varying the concentration of ionic liquid. Other reaction parameters, such as reaction temperature, reaction time and the mole ratio of silver nitrate to glucose, play important roles in controlling the structures of the products. The products were characterized by XRD, TEM (HRTEM), SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), FTIR spectroscopy and a Raman spectrometer. The possible formation mechanism was proposed. The catalytic property of the hybrid in the oxidation of 1-butanol by H₂O₂ was also investigated.
