基于小波高频距离像的红外小目标检测

针对远距离复杂背景下红外小目标检测问题,本文提出了一种基于小波高频距离像的方法。该方法首先将处理空间变换到小波域,通过分析残留背景、目标和噪声系数在高频子带的差异,定义基于邻域均值的子带系数表达形式,构造高频子带系数的中心向量,对小波高频图像进行综合形成距离像,得到红外复杂背景的抑制结果。在此基础上,利用恒虚警率算法将单帧背景抑制图像分割成候选目标、残留背景和噪声像素点。最后,在时间域基于目标运动的相关性,利用管道滤波实现红外小目标的最终检测。仿真实验结果表明,相对于经典算法,本文方法可以实现对红外复杂背景的有效抑制,增强目标信号的强度,准确稳定的从红外复杂背景中检测出小目标。

Toward automatic evaluation of defect detectability in infrared images of composites and honeycomb structures

Non-destructive testing (NDT) refers to inspection methods employed to assess a material specimen without impairing its future usefulness. An important type of these methods is infrared (IR) for NDT (IRNDT), which employs the heat emitted by bodies/objects to rapidly and noninvasively inspect wide surfaces and to find specific defects such as delaminations, cracks, voids, and discontinuities in materials. Current advancements in sensor technology for IRNDT generate great amounts of image sequences. These data require further processing to determine the integrity of objects. Processing techniques for IRNDT data implicitly looks for defect visibility enhancement. Commonly, IRNDT community employs signal to noise ratio (SNR) to measure defect visibility. Nonetheless, current applications of SNR are local, thereby overseeing spatial information, and depend on a-priori knowledge of defect’s location. In this paper, we present a general framework to assess defect detectability based on SNR maps derived from processed IR images. The joint use of image segmentation procedures along with algorithms for filling regions of interest (ROI) estimates a reference background to compute SNR maps. Our main contributions are: (i) a method to compute SNR maps that takes into account spatial variation and are independent of a-priori knowledge of defect location in the sample, (ii) spatial background analysis in processed images, and (iii) semi-automatic calculation of segmentation algorithm parameters. We test our approach in carbon fiber and honeycomb samples with complex geometries and defects with different sizes and depths.     

基于联合变换相关的机载航空相机像移测量

为了提高像移测量精度,针对机载航空摆扫相机提出一种坐标变换法和图像相关法相结合的像移测量方法。利用坐标变换法得到初始像移速度,利用图像联合变换相关法对像移速度残差进行补偿。联合图像通过一个面阵CCD获得,该面阵CCD放置在相机焦平面上并与成像线阵TDI CCD平行,其输出的当前图像与参考图像合并构成联合图像进行二维空间联合变换相关运算,得到像移修正矢量。对该矢量分别在相机摆扫方向和载机飞行方向进行分解,从而得到摆扫像移和前向像移的修正量。仿真实验结果表明,在输入图像信噪比为4 dB时,像移测量误差在0.1 pixel以内。     

多探测器拼接成像系统实时图像配准

依据已设计完成的基于同心球透镜的四镜头多探测器阵列拼接成像系统,对该系统图像拼接配准过程所采用的特征检测提取、特征向量匹配与筛选、空间变换模型参数估计等算法进行了研究。首先,采用Fast-Hessian检测子提取参考图像和待配准图像的特征点,并生成加速鲁棒特征(SURF)描述向量。接着,采用快速近似最近邻(FANN)逼近搜索算法获得初始的匹配点对,并对匹配点对特征向量的欧式距离进行排序。然后,参照成像系统光学设计参数设定合理的阈值,筛选并保留下较好的匹配点对。最后,提出了一种改进的渐进式抽样一致性(IPROSAC)算法对空间变换矩阵模型进行参数估计,从而得到参考图像与待配准图像的空间几何变换关系。实验结果表明:该算法对图像尺寸、旋转和光照变化都具有一定的不变性,特征匹配时间为0.542 s,配准变换时间0.031 s,配准误差精度小于0.1 pixel,可以满足成像系统关于图像配准实时性和准确性的要求,具有一定的工程应用价值。

Shape memory behavior in Fe3Al-modeling and experiments

The Fe₃Al alloy with D0₃ structure exhibits large recoverable strains due to reversible slips. Tension and compression experiments were conducted on single crystals of Fe₃Al, and the onset of slip in forward and reverse directions were obtained utilizing high-resolution digital image correlation technique. The back stress provides the driving force for reversal of deformation upon unloading, resulting in a superelastic phenomenon as in shape memory alloys. Using density functional theory simulations, we obtain the energy barriers (GSFE – generalized stacking fault energy) for {1?1?0}〈1?1?1〉 and {1?1?2}〈1?1?1〉 slips in D0₃ Fe₃Al and the elastic moduli tensor, and undertake anisotropic continuum calculations to obtain the back stress and the frictional stress responsible for reversible slip. We compare the theoretically obtained slip stress magnitudes (friction and back stress) with the experimental measurements disclosing excellent agreement.     

(Quasi‐)Racemic X‐ray Structures of Glycosylated and Non‐Glycosylated Forms of the Chemokine Ser‐CCL1 Prepared by Total Chemical Synthesis

Our goal was to obtain the X‐ray crystal structure of the glycosylated chemokine Ser‐CCL1. Glycoproteins can be hard to crystallize because of the heterogeneity of the oligosaccharide (glycan) moiety. We used glycosylated Ser‐CCL1 that had been prepared by total chemical synthesis as a homogeneous compound containing an N‐linked asialo biantennary nonasaccharide glycan moiety of defined covalent structure. Facile crystal formation occurred from a quasi‐racemic mixture consisting of glycosylated L ‐protein and non‐glycosylated‐D ‐protein, while no crystals were obtained from the glycosylated L ‐protein alone. The structure was solved at a resolution of 2.6–2.1 Å. However, the glycan moiety was disordered: only the N‐linked GlcNAc sugar was well‐defined in the electron density map. A racemic mixture of the protein enantiomers L ‐Ser‐CCL1 and D ‐Ser‐CCL1 was also crystallized, and the structure of the true racemate was solved at a resolution of 2.7–2.15 Å. Superimposition of the structures of the protein moieties of L ‐Ser‐CCL1 and glycosylated‐L ‐Ser‐CCL1 revealed there was no significant alteration of the protein structure by N‐glycosylation.     

Conjugated‐Polyelectrolyte‐Based Polyprodrug: Targeted and Image‐Guided Photodynamic and Chemotherapy with On‐Demand Drug Release upon Irradiation with a Single Light Source

Nanomaterials that combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions within a single nanoplatform are highly desirable for molecular medicine. Herein we report a novel theranostic platform based on a conjugated‐polyelectrolyte (CPE) polyprodrug that contains functionality for image, chemo‐ and photodynamic therapy (PDT), and on‐demand drug release upon irradiation with a single light source. Specifically, the PEGylated CPE serves as a photosensitizer and a carrier, and is covalently conjugated to doxorubicin through a linker that can be cleaved by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under appropriate light irradiation, the CPE can generate ROS, not only for PDT, but also for on‐demand drug release and chemotherapy. This nanoplatform will offer on‐demand PDT and chemotherapy with drug release triggered by one light switch, which has great potential in cancer treatment.
