Enhanced luminescence of CaSb2O6:Bi3+ blue phosphors by efficient charge compensation

This paper reported an enhanced photoluminescence of CaSb₂O₆:Bi³⁺ by efficient charge compensation. Charge compensated CaSb₂O₆:Bi³⁺,M⁺ (M=Li, Na and K) phosphors were prepared using a co-precipitation technique followed by heat-treatment. The structure and morphology of the as-prepared CaSb₂O₆:Bi³⁺,M⁺ samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results revealed that the obtained CaSb₂O₆:Bi³⁺,M⁺ samples are hexagonal crystal structure and this structure was retained regardless of co-doping by Li⁺, Na⁺ or K⁺. All samples showed sphere-like shape with particle size of 40–80 nm. The optical properties of products were studied by UV–vis diffuse reflectivity, photoluminescence spectra and luminescence decay measurements. Under the excitation of 336 nm light, all of the samples exhibited a strong blue emission peaking around 437 nm, which is attributed to the ³P₁–¹S₀ transition of the Bi³⁺ ion. It was found that the charge compensation has significant effect on the photoluminescence properties of CaSb₂O₆:Bi³⁺ and the best luminescence properties have been achieved for CaSb₂O₆:0.75Bi³⁺,0.75 Na⁺. The mechanism for the enhancement of the blue emission has also been studied in detail. Our results suggested that the optical properties of oxide nanostructures can be tailored through co-doping with aliovalent ions and the favorable luminescence properties of CaSb₂O₆:Bi³⁺,Na⁺ make it potential for lighting and display applications.

Error evaluation for Zernike polynomials fitting based phase compensation of digital holographic microscopy

Combining the experimental research with the simulation calculation, the error evaluation for Zernike polynomials fitting (ZPF) based phase compensation of digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is performed. The obtained results show that the reconstructed phase with high precision can be obtained by ZPF phase compensation algorithm. Moreover, the phase error for ZPF based phase compensation algorithm increases with both the variation of object height and object transverse area, the larger variation of object height, the larger of phase error, and the larger of object transverse area, the faster increase of RMS phase error. To decrease the error of ZPF phase compensation algorithm, it is required to ensure one of the variations of object height and object transverse area to be a small value. Importantly, the proposed method supplies a useful tool for the error evaluation of phase compensation algorithm.     

Motion detection using block based bi-directional optical flow method

Detecting moving objects from video frame sequences has a lot of useful applications in computer vision. This proposed method of moving object detection first estimates the bi-directional optical flow fields between (i) the current frame and the previous frame and between (ii) the current frame and the next frame. The bi-directional optical flow field is then subjected to normalization and enhancement. Each normalized and enhanced optical flow field is then divided into non-overlapping blocks. The moving objects are finally detected in the form of binary blobs by examining the histogram based thresholded values of such optical flow field of each block as well as the optical flow field of the candidate flow value. Our technique has been conceptualized, implemented and tested on real video data sets with complex background environment. The experimental results and quantitative evaluation establish that our technique achieves effective and efficient results than other existing methods.     

Quantitative assessment of motion correction for high angular resolution diffusion imaging

Several methods have been proposed for motion correction of high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. There have been few comparisons of these methods, partly due to a lack of quantitative metrics of performance. We compare two motion correction strategies using two figures of merit: displacement introduced by the motion correction and the 95% confidence interval of the cone of uncertainty of voxels with prolate tensors. What follows is a general approach for assessing motion correction of HARDI data that may have broad application for quality assurance and optimization of postprocessing protocols. Our analysis demonstrates two important issues related to motion correction of HARDI data: (1) although neither method we tested was dramatically superior in performance, both were dramatically better than performing no motion correction, and (2) iteration of motion correction can improve the final results. Based on the results demonstrated here, iterative motion correction is strongly recommended for HARDI acquisitions.

Motion control of an omnidirectional climbing robot based on dead reckoning method

While omnidirectional wheels enable a holonomic drive and a good maneuverability, the slippage of the wheels as an inherent characteristic of the omnidirectional wheels prevents using rotary shaft encoders as a reliable source of data for the robot’s odometry. When installed on a climbing robot, omnidirectional wheels may suffer from additional slippage on the surface. In a previous study, we described how the resulting vibration decreases the trajectory following accuracy of the robot, and why rotary encoders, as the most popular dead reckoning method cannot be used. In this paper, we address this problem by integration of low cost and light weight exteroceptive sensors, i.e. an accelerometer and an optical flow sensor. The Omniclimber climbing robot was used as the testing platform in this study. Omniclimbers are omnidirectional climbing robots that can climb and navigate over flat and curved structures. We attempt to compensate the errors due to the wheel slippage through closing the position control loop without significantly increasing the robot’s weight, cost and complexity of the robot. We also integrated an algorithm which corrects the robot kinematics on the curved structures based on the curvature diameter and the robot’s heading angle. Taking advantage of these sensors and algorithms we could make remarkable improvements on the path following accuracy of the Omniclimbers, which is presented in this article.
