三维场景相息图的白光再现研究

讨论了相息图白光再现的可行性,得到采用在相息图和观察者之间加入狭缝的方法可实现相息图的白光再现的结论.提出了一种通过对彩虹全息图进行复数滤波来制作相息图的方法.根据彩虹全息图中物光的频谱宽度设计有限脉冲响应数字滤波器.对该滤波器进行移频,得到与通带位置物光的频谱位置一致的复系数带通滤波器.对全息图进行空域滤波,去除共轭像和零级,求出调制后物光的位相分布,制作场景相息图.实验观察到了经过此方法制作的相息图在白光下的再现像,表明本文的理论分析正确,所提出的方法可行.     

基于似然函数最速下降的红外与可见光图像配准

为了实现红外与可见光图像的自动配准,提出了基于似然函数最速下降迭代的图像配准算法.该算法以图像边缘作为配准点特征,将异源图像配准转化为边缘点集配准.基于点集的高斯混合模型建立了边缘点集配准似然函数,以该函数作为目标函数,仿射变换参量作为优化变量,利用最速下降方法进行最优变换参量求解,从而实现边缘点集配准.同时,将多分辨率金字塔引入迭代配准框架下,实现了高分辨率图像配准的加速.实验结果表明:该算法精度高,运算速度快,可以很好地完成可见光与红外图像的自动配准.

Large-scale structure of time evolving citation networks

In this paper we examine a number of methods for probing and understanding the large-scale structure of networks that evolve over time. We focus in particular on citation networks, networks of references between documents such as papers, patents, or court cases. We describe three different methods of analysis, one based on an expectation-maximization algorithm, one based on modularity optimization, and one based on eigenvector centrality. Using the network of citations between opinions of the United States Supreme Court as an example, we demonstrate how each of these methods can reveal significant structural divisions in the network and how, ultimately, the combination of all three can help us develop a coherent overall picture of the network's shape.     

Jacobi fields on statistical manifolds of negative curvature

Two entropic dynamical models are considered. The geometric structure of the statistical manifolds underlying these models is studied. It is found that in both cases, the resulting metric manifolds are negatively curved. Moreover, the geodesics on each manifold are described by hyperbolic trajectories. A detailed analysis based on the Jacobi equation for geodesic spread is used to show that the hyperbolicity of the manifolds leads to chaotic exponential instability. A comparison between the two models leads to a relation among statistical curvature, stability of geodesics and relative entropy-like quantities. Finally, the Jacobi vector field intensity and the entropy-like quantity are suggested as possible indicators of chaoticity in the ED models due to their similarity to the conventional chaos indicators based on the Riemannian geometric approach and the Zurek-Paz criterion of linear entropy growth, respectively.     

Pricing in a supply chain for auction bidding under information asymmetry

We examine a supply chain in which a manufacturer participates in a sealed-bid lowest price procurement auction through a distributor. This form of supply chain is common when a manufacturer is active in an overseas market without establishing a local subsidiary. To gain a strategic advantage in the division of profit, the manufacturer and distributor may intentionally conceal information about the underlying cost distribution of the competition. In this environment of information asymmetry, we determine the equilibrium mark-up, the ex-ante expected mark-up and expected profit of the manufacturer and the equilibrium bid of the distributor. In unilateral communication, we demonstrate the informed agent’s advantage resulting to higher mark-up. Under information sharing, we show that profit is equally shared among the supply chain partners and we explicitly derive the mark-up when the underlying cost distribution is uniform in [0, 1]. The model and findings are illustrated by a numerical example.     

Parametric fluorescence in semiconductor waveguides

We report on semiconductor waveguides for room-temperature parametric fluorescence in the near infrared. Two phase-matching schemes are presented: form birefringence and counter-propagating phase matching. The characteristics and performances of these solutions are discussed and compared for different kinds of applications. The emergence of these devices opens new perspectives toward guided-wave parametric amplifiers, oscillators, and sources for quantum information. To cite this article: M. Ravaro et al., C. R.
