深空光通信中的图像信标捕获技术

为实现深空光通信链路建立过程中精确的对准,提出了一种深空光通信系统扩展信标的捕获方案。该方案以可视地球图像作为信标,在航天器上存储一幅信标图像作为参考图像,采用天线扫描的方式在各点对所瞄准的区域成像,利用像素扫描的方式,使参考图像和实际探测图像进行相关,在天线扫描完成以后,找出相关性最大的位置,即可认为在该点捕获到地球图像。在计算两图像相关系数的过程中,由于傅里叶梅林变换幅度谱具有伸缩及旋转不变性,因此利用傅里叶梅林变换即可消除两图像相关系数因为旋转和伸缩的影响。利用蒙特卡罗方法随机产生1000个视场,仿真结果表明,3σ内正确捕获到信标图像的概率为99.6%,表明这是一种可行的方法。     

A review of computational modeling and deep brain stimulation: applications to Parkinson's disease

Biophysical computational models are complementary to experiments and theories, providing powerful tools for the study of neurological diseases. The focus of this review is the dynamic modeling and control strategies of Parkinson's disease (PD). In previous studies, the development of parkinsonian network dynamics modeling has made great progress. Modeling mainly focuses on the cortex-thalamus-basal ganglia (CTBG) circuit and its sub-circuits, which helps to explore the dynamic behavior of the parkinsonian network, such as synchronization. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective strategy for the treatment of PD. At present, many studies are based on the side effects of the DBS. However, the translation from modeling results to clinical disease mitigation therapy still faces huge challenges. Here, we introduce the progress of DBS improvement. Its specific purpose is to develop novel DBS treatment methods, optimize the treatment effect of DBS for each patient, and focus on the study in closed-loop DBS. Our goal is to review the inspiration and insights gained by combining the system theory with these computational models to analyze neurodynamics and optimize DBS treatment.     

虚拟震源测深法及其在INDEPTH-3台阵中的应用

基于中美合作项目INDEPTH第3期在青藏高原布设的台站,使用虚拟震源测深法研究青藏高原中部的地壳厚度。结果显示,拉萨地体和羌塘地体的地壳结构存在巨大差异。拉萨地体的地壳厚度大约为57 km,与艾里均衡说预测的地壳厚度基本一致,说明拉萨地体的地壳结构比较简单。羌塘地体的地壳厚度为60~75 km,向北有增厚趋势,明显较艾里均衡说预测的地壳厚,说明羌塘地体地壳结构比较复杂,原因有可能是羌塘地体下存在高温流体和低速带,或者与印度板块岩石圈在班公湖-怒江缝合带以北向下俯冲有关。     

基于多尺度学习与深度卷积神经网络的遥感图像土地利用分类

土地利用信息是国土资源管理的基础和重要依据,随着高分辨率遥感图像数据的日益增多,迫切需要快速准确的土地利用分类方法。目前应用较广的面向对象的分类方法对空间特征的利用尚不够充分,在特征选择上存在一定的局限性。为此,提出一种基于多尺度学习与深度卷积神经网络（deep convolutional neural network,DCNN）的多尺度神经网络（multi-scale neural network,MSNet）模型,基于残差网络构建了100层编码网络,通过并行输入实现输入图像的多尺度学习,利用膨胀卷积实现特征图像的多尺度学习,设计了一种端到端的分类网络。以浙江省0.5 m分辨率的光学航空遥感图像为数据源进行了实验,总体分类精度达91.97%,并将其与传统全卷积网络（fully convolutional networks,FCN）方法和基于支持向量机（support vector machine,SVM）的面向对象方法进行了对比,结果表明,本文所提方法分类精度更高,分类结果整体性更强。     

Fusion Domain-Adaptation CNN Driven by Images and Vibration Signals for Fault Diagnosis of Gearbox Cross-Working Conditions

The vibration signal of gearboxes contains abundant fault information, which can be used for condition monitoring. However, vibration signal is ineffective for some non-structural failures. In order to resolve this dilemma, infrared thermal images are introduced to combine with vibration signals via fusion domain-adaptation convolutional neural network (FDACNN), which can diagnose both structural and non-structural failures under various working conditions. First, the measured raw signals are converted into frequency and squared envelope spectrum to characterize the health states of the gearbox. Second, the sequences of the frequency and squared envelope spectrum are arranged into two-dimensional format, which are combined with infrared thermal images to form fusion data. Finally, the adversarial network is introduced to realize the state recognition of structural and non-structural faults in the unlabeled target domain. An experiment of gearbox test rigs was used for effectiveness validation by measuring both vibration and infrared thermal images. The results suggest that the proposed FDACNN method performs best in cross-domain fault diagnosis of gearboxes via multi-source heterogeneous data compared with the other four methods.     

A Probabilistic Re-Intepretation of Confidence Scores in Multi-Exit Models

In this paper, we propose a new approach to train a deep neural network with multiple intermediate auxiliary classifiers, branching from it. These ‘multi-exits’ models can be used to reduce the inference time by performing early exit on the intermediate branches, if the confidence of the prediction is higher than a threshold. They rely on the assumption that not all the samples require the same amount of processing to yield a good prediction. In this paper, we propose a way to train jointly all the branches of a multi-exit model without hyper-parameters, by weighting the predictions from each branch with a trained confidence score. Each confidence score is an approximation of the real one produced by the branch, and it is calculated and regularized while training the rest of the model. We evaluate our proposal on a set of image classification benchmarks, using different neural models and early-exit stopping criteria.     

Network Bending: Expressive Manipulation of Generative Models in Multiple Domains

This paper presents the network bending framework, a new approach for manipulating and interacting with deep generative models. We present a comprehensive set of deterministic transformations that can be inserted as distinct layers into the computational graph of a trained generative neural network and applied during inference. In addition, we present a novel algorithm for analysing the deep generative model and clustering features based on their spatial activation maps. This allows features to be grouped together based on spatial similarity in an unsupervised fashion. This results in the meaningful manipulation of sets of features that correspond to the generation of a broad array of semantically significant features of the generated results. We outline this framework, demonstrating our results on deep generative models for both image and audio domains. We show how it allows for the direct manipulation of semantically meaningful aspects of the generative process as well as allowing for a broad range of expressive outcomes.     

Permutation Entropy-Based Interpretability of Convolutional Neural Network Models for Interictal EEG Discrimination of Subjects with Epileptic Seizures vs. Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures

The differential diagnosis of epileptic seizures (ES) and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) may be difficult, due to the lack of distinctive clinical features. The interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) signal may also be normal in patients with ES. Innovative diagnostic tools that exploit non-linear EEG analysis and deep learning (DL) could provide important support to physicians for clinical diagnosis. In this work, 18 patients with new-onset ES (12 males, 6 females) and 18 patients with video-recorded PNES (2 males, 16 females) with normal interictal EEG at visual inspection were enrolled. None of them was taking psychotropic drugs. A convolutional neural network (CNN) scheme using DL classification was designed to classify the two categories of subjects (ES vs. PNES). The proposed architecture performs an EEG time-frequency transformation and a classification step with a CNN. The CNN was able to classify the EEG recordings of subjects with ES vs. subjects with PNES with 94.4% accuracy. CNN provided high performance in the assigned binary classification when compared to standard learning algorithms (multi-layer perceptron, support vector machine, linear discriminant analysis and quadratic discriminant analysis). In order to interpret how the CNN achieved this performance, information theoretical analysis was carried out. Specifically, the permutation entropy (PE) of the feature maps was evaluated and compared in the two classes. The achieved results, although preliminary, encourage the use of these innovative techniques to support neurologists in early diagnoses.
