In particular, recent advances of deep learning techniques bring encouraging performance to fine-grained image classification which aims to distinguish subordinate-level categories, such as bird species or dog breeds. This task is extremely challenging due to high intra-class and low inter-class variance. In this paper, we review four types of deep learning based fine-grained image classification approaches, including the general convolutional neural networks （CNNs）, part detection based, ensemble of networks based and visual attention based fine-grained image classification approaches. Besides, the deep learning based semantic segmentation approaches are also covered in this paper. The region proposal based and fully convolutional networks based approaches for semantic segmentation are introduced respectively.展开更多

Field experiments were performed twice on the intertidal flat of the Yellow River delta to study this process via both trapping the pumped materials and recording the pore pressures in the substrate. Experimental results are quite interesting as we did observe yellow slurry which is mainly composed of fine-grained soil particles appearing on the seabed surface; seepage gradients were also detected in the intertidal flat, under the action of tides and small wind waves. Preliminary conclusions are that ‘sediment pump' occurs when seepage force exceeds a certain threshold: firstly, it is big enough to disconnect the soil particles from the soil skeleton; secondly, the degree of seabed fluidization or bioturbation is big enough to provide preferred paths for the detached materials to migrate upwards. Then they would be firstly pumped from interior to the surface of seabed and then easily re-suspended into overlying water column. Influential factors of ‘sediment pump' are determined as hydrodynamics(wave energy), degree of consolidation, index of bioturbation(permeability) and content of fine-grained materials(sedimentary age). This new perspective of ‘sediment pump' may provide some implications for the mechanism interpretation of several unclear geological phenomena in the Yellow River delta area.展开更多

文摘Through tracing the background and customary usage of classification of fine-grained sedimentary rocks and terminology,and comparing current“sedimentary petrology”textbooks and monographs,this paper proposes a classification scheme for fine-grained sedimentary rocks and clarifies related terminology.The comprehensive analysis indicates that the classification of clastic rocks,volcanic clastic rocks,chemical rocks,and biogenic(carbonate)rocks is unified,and the definitions of terms such as lamination,bedding and beds are consistent.However,there is a disagreement on the definition of“mud”.European and American scholars commonly use the term“mud”to include silt and clay(particle size less than 0.0625 mm).Chinese scholars equate the term“mud”to“clay”(particle size less than 0.0039 mm or less than 0.01 mm).Combined with the discussion on terms such as sedimentary structures(bedding,lamination and lamellation),shale,mudstone,mudrocks/argillaceous rocks and mud shale,it is recommended to use“fine-grained sedimentary rocks”as the general term for all sedimentary rocks composed of fine-grained materials with particle size less than 0.0625 mm,including claystone/mudrocks and siltstone.Claystone/mudrocks are further classified into argillaceous(or clayey)mudstone/shale,calcareous mudstone/shale,siliceous mudstone/shale,silty mudstone/shale and silt-containing mudstone/shale.Argillaceous(or clayey)mudstone/shale emphasizes a content of clay minerals or clay-sized particles exceeding 50%.Other mudstones/shales emphasize a content of particles(particle size less than 0.0625 mm)exceeding 50%.The commonly referred term“shale”should not include siltstone.It is necessary to establish a reasonable,standardized,and applicable classification scheme for fine-grained sedimentary rocks in the future.An integrated shale microfacies research at the thin-section scale should be carried out,and combined with well logging data interpretation and seismic attribute analysis,a geological model of lithology/lithofacies will be iteratively upgraded to accurately determine sweet layer,locate target layer,and evaluate favorable area.

文摘Accurately recognizing driver distraction is critical for preventing traffic accidents,yet current detection models face two persistent challenges.First,distractions are often fine-grained,involving subtle cues such as brief eye closures or partial yawns,which are easily missed by conventional detectors.Second,in real-world scenarios,drivers frequently exhibit overlapping behaviors,such as simultaneously holding a cup,closing their eyes,and yawning,leading tomultiple detection boxes and degradedmodel performance.Existing approaches fail to robustly address these complexities,resulting in limited reliability in safety critical applications.To overcome these pain points,we propose YOLO-Drive,a novel framework that enhances YOLO-based driver monitoring with EfficientViM and Polarized Spectral–Spatial Attention(PSSA)modules.Efficient ViMprovides lightweight yet powerful global–local feature extraction,enabling accurate recognition of subtle driver states.PSSA further amplifies discriminative features across spatial and spectral domains,ensuring robust separation of concurrent distraction cues.By explicitly modeling fine-grained and overlapping behaviors,our approach delivers significant improvements in both precision and robustness.Extensive experiments on benchmark driver distraction datasets demonstrate that YOLO-Drive consistently out-performs stateof-the-art models,achieving higher detection accuracy while maintaining real-time efficiency.These results validate YOLO-Drive as a practical and reliable solution for advanced driver monitoring systems,addressing long-standing challenges of subtle cue recognition and multi-cue distraction detection.

文摘Discriminative region localization and efficient feature encoding are crucial for fine-grained object recognition.However,existing data augmentation methods struggle to accurately locate discriminative regions in complex backgrounds,small target objects,and limited training data,leading to poor recognition.Fine-grained images exhibit“small inter-class differences,”and while second-order feature encoding enhances discrimination,it often requires dual Convolutional Neural Networks(CNN),increasing training time and complexity.This study proposes a model integrating discriminative region localization and efficient second-order feature encoding.By ranking feature map channels via a fully connected layer,it selects high-importance channels to generate an enhanced map,accurately locating discriminative regions.Cropping and erasing augmentations further refine recognition.To improve efficiency,a novel second-order feature encoding module generates an attention map from the fourth convolutional group of Residual Network 50 layers(ResNet-50)and multiplies it with features from the fifth group,producing second-order features while reducing dimensionality and training time.Experiments on Caltech-University of California,San Diego Birds-200-2011(CUB-200-2011),Stanford Car,and Fine-Grained Visual Classification of Aircraft(FGVC Aircraft)datasets show state-of-the-art accuracy of 88.9%,94.7%,and 93.3%,respectively.

文摘A fine-grained metastable dual-phase Fe_(40)Mn_(20)Co_(20)Cr_(15)Si_(5)high entropy alloy(CS-HEA)with excellent strength and ductility was successfully prepared by friction stir processing(FSP).The microstructural and mechanical properties of the fine-grained CS-HEA were characterized.The results showed that as-cast shrinkage cavities and elemental segregation were eliminated.The average grain size was refined from 121.1 to 5.4μm.The face-centered cubic phase fraction increased from 23%to 82%.During tensile deformation,dislocation slip dominated at strains ranging from 5%to 17%,followed by transformation induced plasticity(TRIP)from 17%to 26%,and twin induced plasticity(TWIP)from 26%to 37%.The yield strength,ultimate tensile strength,and elongation of the fine-grained CS-HEA were 503 MPa,1120 MPa,and 37%,respectively.The strength-ductility synergy of fine-grained CS-HEA was attributed to the combined effects of TRIP,TWIP,dislocation strengthening,and fine-grained strengthening.

文摘Based on recent advancements in shale oil exploration within the Ordos Basin,this study presents a comprehensive investigation of the paleoenvironment,lithofacies assemblages and distribution,depositional mechanisms,and reservoir characteristics of shale oil of fine-grained sediment deposition in continental freshwater lacustrine basins,with a focus on the Chang 7_(3) sub-member of Triassic Yanchang Formation.The research integrates a variety of exploration data,including field outcrops,drilling,logging,core samples,geochemical analyses,and flume simulation.The study indicates that:(1)The paleoenvironment of the Chang 7_(3) deposition is characterized by a warm and humid climate,frequent monsoon events,and a large water depth of freshwater lacustrine basin.The paleogeomorphology exhibits an asymmetrical pattern,with steep slopes in the southwest and gentle slopes in the northeast,which can be subdivided into microgeomorphological units,including depressions and ridges in lakebed,as well as ancient channels.(2)The Chang 7_(3) sub-member is characterized by a diverse array of fine-grained sediments,including very fine sandstone,siltstone,mudstone and tuff.These sediments are primarily distributed in thin interbedded and laminated arrangements vertically.The overall grain size of the sandstone predominantly falls below 62.5μm,with individual layer thicknesses of 0.05–0.64 m.The deposits contain intact plant fragments and display various sedimentary structure,such as wavy bedding,inverse-to-normal grading sequence,and climbing ripple bedding,which indicating a depositional origin associated with density flows.(3)Flume simulation experiments have successfully replicated the transport processes and sedimentary characteristics associated with density flows.The initial phase is characterized by a density-velocity differential,resulting in a thicker,coarser sediment layer at the flow front,while the upper layers are thinner and finer in grain size.During the mid-phase,sliding water effects cause the fluid front to rise and facilitate rapid forward transport.This process generates multiple“new fronts”,enabling the long-distance transport of fine-grained sandstones,such as siltstone and argillaceous siltstone,into the center of the lake basin.(4)A sedimentary model primarily controlled by hyperpynal flows was established for the southwestern part of the basin,highlighting that the frequent occurrence of flood events and the steep slope topography in this area are primary controlling factors for the development of hyperpynal flows.(5)Sandstone and mudstone in the Chang 7_(3) sub-member exhibit micro-and nano-scale pore-throat systems,shale oil is present in various lithologies,while the content of movable oil varies considerably,with sandstone exhibiting the highest content of movable oil.(6)The fine-grained sediment complexes formed by multiple episodes of sandstones and mudstones associated with density flow in the Chang 7_(3) formation exhibit characteristics of“overall oil-bearing with differential storage capacity”.The combination of mudstone with low total organic carbon content(TOC)and siltstone is identified as the most favorable exploration target at present.

文摘Fine-grained sediments are widely distributed and constitute the most abundant component in sedi-mentary systems,thus the research on their genesis and distribution is of great significance.In recent years,fine-grained sediment gravity-flows(FGSGF)have been recognized as an important transportation and depositional mechanism for accumulating thick successions of fine-grained sediments.Through a comprehensive review and synthesis of global research on FGSGF deposition,the characteristics,depositional mechanisms,and distribution patterns of fine-grained sediment gravity-flow deposits(FGSGFD)are discussed,and future research prospects are clarified.In addition to the traditionally recognized low-density turbidity current and muddy debris flow,wave-enhanced gravity flow,low-density muddy hyperpycnal flow,and hypopycnal plumes can all form widely distributed FGSGFD.At the same time,the evolution of FGSGF during transportation can result in transitional and hybrid gravity-flow deposits.The combination of multiple triggering mechanisms promotes the widespread develop-ment of FGSGFD,without temporal and spatial limitations.Different types and concentrations of clay minerals,organic matters,and organo-clay complexes are the keys to controlling the flow transformation of FGSGF from low-concentration turbidity currents to high-concentration muddy debris flows.Further study is needed on the interaction mechanism of FGSGF caused by different initiations,the evolution of FGSGF with the effect of organic-inorganic synergy,and the controlling factors of the distribution pat-terns of FGSGFD.The study of FGSGFD can shed some new light on the formation of widely developed thin-bedded siltstones within shales.At the same time,these insights may broaden the exploration scope of shale oil and gas,which have important geological significances for unconventional shale oil and gas.

文摘Accurate fine-grained geospatial scene classification using remote sensing imagery is essential for a wide range of applications.However,existing approaches often rely on manually zooming remote sensing images at different scales to create typical scene samples.This approach fails to adequately support the fixed-resolution image interpretation requirements in real-world scenarios.To address this limitation,we introduce the million-scale fine-grained geospatial scene classification dataset(MEET),which contains over 1.03 million zoom-free remote sensing scene samples,manually annotated into 80 fine-grained categories.In MEET,each scene sample follows a scene-in-scene layout,where the central scene serves as the reference,and auxiliary scenes provide crucial spatial context for fine-grained classification.Moreover,to tackle the emerging challenge of scene-in-scene classification,we present the context-aware transformer(CAT),a model specifically designed for this task,which adaptively fuses spatial context to accurately classify the scene samples.CAT adaptively fuses spatial context to accurately classify the scene samples by learning attentional features that capture the relationships between the center and auxiliary scenes.Based on MEET,we establish a comprehensive benchmark for fine-grained geospatial scene classification,evaluating CAT against 11 competitive baselines.The results demonstrate that CAT significantly outperforms these baselines,achieving a 1.88%higher balanced accuracy(BA)with the Swin-Large backbone,and a notable 7.87%improvement with the Swin-Huge backbone.Further experiments validate the effectiveness of each module in CAT and show the practical applicability of CAT in the urban functional zone mapping.The source code and dataset will be publicly available at https://jerrywyn.github.io/project/MEET.html.

文摘Joint Multimodal Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis(JMASA)is a significant task in the research of multimodal fine-grained sentiment analysis,which combines two subtasks:Multimodal Aspect Term Extraction(MATE)and Multimodal Aspect-oriented Sentiment Classification(MASC).Currently,most existing models for JMASA only perform text and image feature encoding from a basic level,but often neglect the in-depth analysis of unimodal intrinsic features,which may lead to the low accuracy of aspect term extraction and the poor ability of sentiment prediction due to the insufficient learning of intra-modal features.Given this problem,we propose a Text-Image Feature Fine-grained Learning(TIFFL)model for JMASA.First,we construct an enhanced adjacency matrix of word dependencies and adopt graph convolutional network to learn the syntactic structure features for text,which addresses the context interference problem of identifying different aspect terms.Then,the adjective-noun pairs extracted from image are introduced to enable the semantic representation of visual features more intuitive,which addresses the ambiguous semantic extraction problem during image feature learning.Thereby,the model performance of aspect term extraction and sentiment polarity prediction can be further optimized and enhanced.Experiments on two Twitter benchmark datasets demonstrate that TIFFL achieves competitive results for JMASA,MATE and MASC,thus validating the effectiveness of our proposed methods.

文摘In this paper,we propose hierarchical attention dual network(DNet)for fine-grained image classification.The DNet can randomly select pairs of inputs from the dataset and compare the differences between them through hierarchical attention feature learning,which are used simultaneously to remove noise and retain salient features.In the loss function,it considers the losses of difference in paired images according to the intra-variance and inter-variance.In addition,we also collect the disaster scene dataset from remote sensing images and apply the proposed method to disaster scene classification,which contains complex scenes and multiple types of disasters.Compared to other methods,experimental results show that the DNet with hierarchical attention is robust to different datasets and performs better.

文摘Soil responds to cavity expansion is inherently rate-dependent,especially in the case of fine-grained soils.To better understand such rate effects,self-boring pressuremeter tests were conducted on Kunming peaty soil within a strain rate range of 0.1%/min to 5.0%/min.The results showed a clear dependence of cavity pressure and excess pore pressure(EPP)on strain ratesdboth increased with higher rates for a given radial displacement.In light of the experimental results,three cases of cylindrical cavity expansion were investigated using the finite element method and analytical method,partially drained expansion in Modified Cam-Clay(MCC)soil,and undrained and partially drained expansion in elastoviscoplastic(EVP)soil.The EVP behavior was and modeled using the MCC model and the overstress viscoplastic theory.The results indicated that over the strain rate range of 0.0001%/min and 50%/min,the rate response of cavity pressure for the case of partially drained expansion in MCC soil(permeability coefficient ranging from 5×10^(-6) m/s to 2.5×10^(-11) m/s)is not obvious,while the EPP response during undrained expansion in EVP soil shows rate-independent.Only the partially drained solution for cavity expansion in EVP soil captured the rate-sensitive responses of both cavity pressure and EPP,confirmed by the pressuremeter tests on the Kunming peaty soil,Saint-Herblain clay,and Burswood clay.This suggests that the rate effect results from a combination of drainage-related and time-dependent soil behavior.Parametric studies further demonstrated that both viscous behavior and the overconsolidation ratio significantly influence cylindrical cavity expansion response,and the drainage conditions during expansion can be assessed using a nondimensional velocity.

文摘The spray-deposition was used to produce billets of Mg-4Al-1.5Zn-3Ca-1Nd(A alloy)and Mg-13Al-3Zn-3Ca-1Nd(B alloy),and evolution of deformation substructure and Mg_(x)Zn_(y)Ca_(z)metastable phase in fine-grained(3μm)Mg alloys was investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).It was found that different dislocation configurations were formed in A and B alloys.Redundant free dislocations(RFDs)and dislocation tangles were the ways to form deformation substructure in A alloy,no RFDs except dislocation tangles were found in B alloy.The interaction between nano-scale second phase particles(nano-scale C15 andβ-Mg_(17)(Al,Zn)_(12)phase)and different dislocation configurations had a significant effect on the deformation substructures formation.The mass transfer of Mg_(x)Zn_(y)Ca_(z)metastable phases and the stacking order of stacking faults were conducive to the Mg-Nd-Zn typed long period stacking ordered(LPSO)phases formation.Nano-scale C15 phases,Mg-Nd-Zn typed LPSO phases,c/a ratio,β-Mg_(17)(Al,Zn)_(12)phases were the key factors influencing the formation of textures.Different textures and grain boundary features(GB features)had a significant effect on k-value.The non-basal textures were the main factor affecting k-value in A alloy,while the high-angle grain boundary(HAGB)was the main factor affecting k-value in B alloy.

文摘Coralline soils,specialized materials found extensively in the South China Sea,are playing an increasingly vital role in engineering projects.However,like most terrigenous soils,fine-grained coral soil is prone to shrinkage and cracking,which can significantly affect its engineering properties and ultimately jeopardize engineering safety.This paper presents a desiccation cracking test of fine-grained coral soil,with a particular focus on the thickness effect.The study involved measuring the water content and recording the evolution of desiccation cracking.Advanced image processing technology is employed to analyze the variations in crack parameters,clod parameters,fractal dimensions,frequency distributions,and desiccation cracking propagation velocities of fine-grained coral soil.Furthermore,the dynamic evolution of desiccation cracking under the influence of layer thickness is analyzed.A comprehensive crack evolution model is proposed,encompassing both top-down and bottom-up crack propagation,as well as internal tensile cracking.This work introduces novel metrics for the propagation velocity of the total crack area,the characteristic propagation velocities of desiccation cracks,and the acceleration of crack propagation.Through data fitting,theoretical formulas for soil water evaporation,propagation velocities of desiccation cracks,and crack propagation acceleration are derived,laying a foundation for future soil cracking theories.

文摘Climate change is a global phenomenon that has profound impacts on ecological dynamics and biodiversity,shaping the interactions between species and their environment.To gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving climate change,phenological monitoring is essential.Traditional methods of defining phenological phases often rely on fixed thresholds.However,with the development of technology,deep learning-based classification models are now able to more accurately delineate phenological phases from images,enabling phenological monitoring.Despite the significant advancements these models have made in phenological monitoring,they still face challenges in fully capturing the complexity of biotic-environmental interactions,which can limit the fine-grained accuracy of phenological phase identification.To address this,we propose a novel deep learning model,RESformer,designed to monitor tree phenology at a fine-grained level using PhenoCam images.RESformer features a lightweight structure,making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments.It incorporates a dual-branch routing mechanism that considers both global and local information,thereby improving the accuracy of phenological monitoring.To validate the effectiveness of RESformer,we conducted a case study involving 82,118 images taken over two years from four different locations in Wisconsin,focusing on the phenology of Acer.The images were classified into seven distinct phenological stages,with RESformer achieving an overall monitoring accuracy of 96.02%.Furthermore,we compared RESformer with a phenological monitoring approach based on the Green Chromatic Coordinate(GCC)index and ten popular classification models.The results showed that RESformer excelled in fine-grained monitoring,effectively capturing and identifying changes in phenological stages.This finding not only provides strong support for monitoring the phenology of Acer species but also offers valuable insights for understanding ecological trends and developing more effective ecosystem conservation and management strategies.

文摘Fine-grained aircraft target detection in remote sensing holds significant research valueand practical applications,particularly in military defense and precision strikes.Given the complex-ity of remote sensing images,where targets are often small and similar within categories,detectingthese fine-grained targets is challenging.To address this,we constructed a fine-grained dataset ofremotely sensed airplanes;for the problems of remote sensing fine-grained targets with obvious head-to-tail distributions and large variations in target sizes,we proposed the DWDet fine-grained tar-get detection and recognition algorithm.First,for the problem of unbalanced category distribution,we adopt an adaptive sampling strategy.In addition,we construct a deformable convolutional blockand improve the decoupling head structure to improve the detection effect of the model ondeformed targets.Then,we design a localization loss function,which is used to improve the model’slocalization ability for targets of different scales.The experimental results show that our algorithmimproves the overall accuracy of the model by 4.1%compared to the baseline model,and improvesthe detection accuracy of small targets by 12.2%.The ablation and comparison experiments alsoprove the effectiveness of our algorithm.

文摘Bird monitoring and protection are essential for maintaining biodiversity,and fine-grained bird classification has become a key focus in this field.Audio-visual modalities provide critical cues for this task,but robust feature extraction and efficient fusion remain major challenges.We introduce a multi-stage fine-grained audiovisual fusion network(MSFG-AVFNet) for fine-grained bird species classification,which addresses these challenges through two key components:(1) the audiovisual feature extraction module,which adopts a multi-stage finetuning strategy to provide high-quality unimodal features,laying a solid foundation for modality fusion;(2) the audiovisual feature fusion module,which combines a max pooling aggregation strategy with a novel audiovisual loss function to achieve effective and robust feature fusion.Experiments were conducted on the self-built AVB81and the publicly available SSW60 datasets,which contain data from 81 and 60 bird species,respectively.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves notable performance gains,outperforming existing state-of-the-art methods.These results highlight its effectiveness in leveraging audiovisual modalities for fine-grained bird classification and its potential to support ecological monitoring and biodiversity research.

文摘Fine-grained Image Recognition(FGIR)task is dedicated to distinguishing similar sub-categories that belong to the same super-category,such as bird species and car types.In order to highlight visual differences,existing FGIR works often follow two steps:discriminative sub-region localization and local feature representation.However,these works pay less attention on global context information.They neglect a fact that the subtle visual difference in challenging scenarios can be highlighted through exploiting the spatial relationship among different subregions from a global view point.Therefore,in this paper,we consider both global and local information for FGIR,and propose a collaborative teacher-student strategy to reinforce and unity the two types of information.Our framework is implemented mainly by convolutional neural network,referred to Teacher-Student Based Attention Convolutional Neural Network(T-S-ACNN).For fine-grained local information,we choose the classic Multi-Attention Network(MA-Net)as our baseline,and propose a type of boundary constraint to further reduce background noises in the local attention maps.In this way,the discriminative sub-regions tend to appear in the area occupied by fine-grained objects,leading to more accurate sub-region localization.For fine-grained global information,we design a graph convolution based Global Attention Network(GA-Net),which can combine extracted local attention maps from MA-Net with non-local techniques to explore spatial relationship among subregions.At last,we develop a collaborative teacher-student strategy to adaptively determine the attended roles and optimization modes,so as to enhance the cooperative reinforcement of MA-Net and GA-Net.Extensive experiments on CUB-200-2011,Stanford Cars and FGVC Aircraft datasets illustrate the promising performance of our framework.

文摘The geological conditions and processes of fine-grained gravity flow sedimentation in continental lacustrine basins in China are analyzed to construct the model of fine-grained gravity flow sedimentation in lacustrine basin,reveal the development laws of fine-grained deposits and source-reservoir,and identify the sweet sections of shale oil.The results show that fine-grained gravity flow is one of the important sedimentary processes in deep lake environment,and it can transport fine-grained clasts and organic matter in shallow water to deep lake,forming sweet sections and high-quality source rocks of shale oil.Fine-grained gravity flow deposits in deep waters of lacustrine basins in China are mainly fine-grained high-density flow,fine-grained turbidity flow(including surge-like turbidity flow and fine-grained hyperpycnal flow),fine-grained viscous flow(including fine-grained debris flow and mud flow),and fine-grained transitional flow deposits.The distribution of fine-grained gravity flow deposits in the warm and humid unbalanced lacustrine basins are controlled by lake-level fluctuation,flooding events,and lakebed paleogeomorphology.During the lake-level rise,fine-grained hyperpycnal flow caused by flooding formed fine-grained channel–levee–lobe system in the flat area of the deep lake.During the lake-level fall,the sublacustrine fan system represented by unconfined channel was developed in the flexural slope breaks and sedimentary slopes of depressed lacustrine basins,and in the steep slopes of faulted lacustrine basins;the sublacustrine fan system with confined or unconfined channel was developed on the gentle slopes and in axial direction of faulted lacustrine basins,with fine-grained gravity flow deposits possibly existing in the lower fan.Within the fourth-order sequences,transgression might lead to organic-rich shale and fine-grained hyperpycnal flow deposits,while regression might cause fine-grained high-density flow,surge-like turbidity flow,fine-grained debris flow,mud flow,and fine-grained transitional flow deposits.Since the Permian,in the shale strata of lacustrine basins in China,multiple transgression-regression cycles of fourth-order sequences have formed multiple source-reservoir assemblages.Diverse fine-grained gravity flow sedimentation processes have created sweet sections of thin siltstone consisting of fine-grained high-density flow,fine-grained hyperpycnal flow and surge-like turbidity flow deposits,sweet sections with interbeds of mudstone and siltstone formed by fine-grained transitional flows,and sweet sections of shale containing silty and muddy clasts and with horizontal bedding formed by fine-grained debris flow and mud flow.The model of fine-grained gravity flow sedimentation in lacustrine basin is significant for the scientific evaluation of sweet shale oil reservoir and organic-rich source rock.

文摘The deep learning technology has shown impressive performance in various vision tasks such as image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation. In particular, recent advances of deep learning techniques bring encouraging performance to fine-grained image classification which aims to distinguish subordinate-level categories, such as bird species or dog breeds. This task is extremely challenging due to high intra-class and low inter-class variance. In this paper, we review four types of deep learning based fine-grained image classification approaches, including the general convolutional neural networks （CNNs）, part detection based, ensemble of networks based and visual attention based fine-grained image classification approaches. Besides, the deep learning based semantic segmentation approaches are also covered in this paper. The region proposal based and fully convolutional networks based approaches for semantic segmentation are introduced respectively.

文摘A scientific hypothesis is proposed and preliminarily verified in this paper: under the driving of seepage flows, there might be a vertical migration of fine-grained soil particles from interior to surface of seabed, which is defined as ‘sub-bottom sediment pump action' in this paper. Field experiments were performed twice on the intertidal flat of the Yellow River delta to study this process via both trapping the pumped materials and recording the pore pressures in the substrate. Experimental results are quite interesting as we did observe yellow slurry which is mainly composed of fine-grained soil particles appearing on the seabed surface; seepage gradients were also detected in the intertidal flat, under the action of tides and small wind waves. Preliminary conclusions are that ‘sediment pump' occurs when seepage force exceeds a certain threshold: firstly, it is big enough to disconnect the soil particles from the soil skeleton; secondly, the degree of seabed fluidization or bioturbation is big enough to provide preferred paths for the detached materials to migrate upwards. Then they would be firstly pumped from interior to the surface of seabed and then easily re-suspended into overlying water column. Influential factors of ‘sediment pump' are determined as hydrodynamics(wave energy), degree of consolidation, index of bioturbation(permeability) and content of fine-grained materials(sedimentary age). This new perspective of ‘sediment pump' may provide some implications for the mechanism interpretation of several unclear geological phenomena in the Yellow River delta area.

文摘In order to analyze the effect of grain size on stress relaxation(SR) mechanism,the SR tests of TC4 alloy with three kinds of grain size were performed in a temperature range of 650-750℃.A modified cubic delay function was used to establish SR model for each grain size.A simplified algorithm was proposed for calculating the deformation activation energy based on classical Arrhenius equation.The grain size distribution and variation were observed by microstructural methods.The experimental results indicate that smaller grains are earlier to reach the relaxation limit at the same temperature due to lower initial stress and faster relaxation rate.The SR limit at 650℃ reduces with decreasing grain size.While the effect of grain size on SR limit is not evident at 700 and 750℃ since the relaxation is fully completed.With the increase of grain size,the deformation activation energy is improved and SR mechanism at 700℃ changes from grain rotation and grain boundary sliding to dislocation movement and dynamic recovery.
