Also, the Nilsson model is designed for the calculations of the single-particle energy levels, the magnetic dipole moments, and the electric quadrupole moments of axially symmetric deformed nuclei by assuming that all the nucleons are moving in the field of an anisotropic oscillator potential. On the other hand, the nuclear superfluidity model is designed for the calculations of the nuclear moments of inertia and the electric quadrupole moments of deformed nuclei which have no axes of symmetry by assuming that the nucleons are moving in a quadruple deformed potential. Furthermore, the cranked Nilsson model is designed for the calculations of the total nuclear energy and the quadrupole moments of deformed nuclei which have no axes of symmetry by modifying the Nilsson potential to include second and fourth order oscillations. Accordingly, to investigate whether the six p-shell isotopes <sup>6</sup>Li, <sup>7</sup>Li, <sup>8</sup>Li, <sup>9</sup>Li, <sup>10</sup>Li, and <sup>11</sup>Li have axes of symmetry or not, we applied the four mentioned models to each nucleus by calculating their moments of inertia, their magnetic dipole moments, and their electric quadrupole moments by varying the deformation parameter β and the non-axiality parameter γ in wide ranges of values for this reason. Hence for the assumption that these isotopes are deformed and have axes of symmetry, we applied the single-particle Schrödinger fluid model and the Nilsson model. On the other hand, for the assumption that these isotopes are deformed and have no axes of symmetry, we applied the cranked Nilsson model and the nuclear super fluidity model. As a result of our calculations, we can conclude that the nucleus <sup>6</sup>Li may be assumed to be deformed and has an axis of symmetry.展开更多

The moments estimated directly from a sample of observed values of a random variable could be conventional moments (moments about the origin or central moments) and probability-weighted moments (PWMs). Probability curves derived from orthogonal polynomials and conventional moments are probability density functions (PDF), and probability curves derived from orthogonal polynomials and PWMs are inverse cumulative density functions (CDF) of random variables. The proposed approach is verified by two most commonly-used theoretical standard distributions: normal and exponential distribution. Examples from observed data of uniaxial compressive strength of a rock and concrete strength data are presented for illustrative purposes. The results show that probability curves of rock variable can be accurately derived from orthogonal polynomials and sample moments. Orthogonal polynomials and PWMs enable more secure inferences to be made from relatively small samples about an underlying probability curve.展开更多

First, the relationship between pseudo-Zernike moments of the original image and those of the image having the same shape but distinct orientation and scale is established. Based on this relationship, a complete set of similarity invariants can be expressed as a linear combination of the original pseudo-Zernike moments of the same order and lower order. The problem of image reconstruction from a finite set of the pseudo-Zernike moment invariants （PZMIs） is also investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed PZMIs have better performance than complex moment invariants.展开更多

We aim to develop two kinds of transformed shifted Legendre moments： a 3D substituted radial shifted Legendre moments （3DSRSLMs） and a 3D weighted radial one （3DWRSLMs）. Both are centered on two types of polynomials. In the first case, a new 3D ra- dial complex moment is proposed. In the second case, new 3D substituted/weighted radial shifted Legendremoments （3DSRSLMs/3DWRSLMs） are introduced using a spherical representation of volumetric image. 3D invariants as derived from the sug- gested 3D radial shifted Legendre moments will appear in the third case. To confirm the proposed approach, we have resolved three is- sues. To confirm the proposed approach, we have resolved three issues： rotation, scaling and translation invariants. The result of experi- ments shows that the 3DSRSLMs and 3DWRSLMs have done better than the 3D radial complex moments with and without noise. Sim- ultaneously, the reconstruction converges rapidly to the original image using 3D radial 3DSRSLMs and 3DWRSLMs, and the test of 3D images are clearly recognized from a set of images that are available in Princeton shape benchmark （PSB） database for 3D image.展开更多

This paper transforms the singular surface integral to the contour integral. The integrand is expanded to Taylor series and the integral results in a closed form. The cut-off error is analyzed to show that the series converges fast and only about 2 terms can agree wel with the accurate result. The comparison of the perfect electric conductive （PEC） sphere＇s bi-static radar cross section （RCS） using MoM and the accurate method validates the feasibility in manipulating the singularity. The error due to the facet size and the cut-off terms of the series are analyzed in examples.展开更多

Numerical results show that A, B, and C have increasing tendencies; the tilt of the rotation axis increases 2.1×10^ 8 mas/yr; the third component of the rotational angular velocity, ω3 , has a decrease of 1.0×10^ 22 rad/s^2, which is around 23% of the present observed value. Studies show in detail that both 0 and ω3 experience complex fluctuations at various time scales due to the variations of A, B and C.展开更多

The Doppler spectrum moment is the convolution of both the particle spectrum and the mean air vertical motion. Unlike strong precipitation, the motion of particles in cirrus clouds is quite close to the air motion around them. In this study, a method of Doppler moments was developed and used to retrieve cirrus cloud microphysical properties such as the mean air vertical velocity, mass-weighted diameter, effective particle size, and ice content. Ice content values were retrieved using both the Doppler spectrum method and classic Z-IWC （radar reflectivity-ice water content） relationships; however, the former is a more reasonable method.展开更多

First, scene images are represented by the color edge moments of various orders. Then, an iterative regression with a squared Frobenius norm（F-norm） regularizer is introduced to learn the mapping between the edge moments and illuminants in the neighborhood of the anchored sample.Illumination estimation for the test image finally becomes the nearest anchored point search followed by a matrix multiplication using the associated mapping matrix which can be precalculated and stored. Experiments on two standard image datasets show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms with a performance increase of at least 10. 35% and 7. 44% with regard to median angular error.展开更多

The joint PDF allows us to examine the fractional-order moments of the bucket and the reference signals, in which the correlation orders are fractional numbers,other than positive integers in previous studies. The experimental results show that various images can be reconstructed from fractional-order moments. Negative(positive) ghost images are obtained with negative(positive) orders of the bucket signals. The visibility and peak signal-to-noise ratios of the diverse ghost images depend greatly on the fractional orders.展开更多

However, the huge computational complexity makes it impractical for real applications. Thus, a fast non-local means algorithm based on Krawtchouk moments is proposed to improve the denoising performance and reduce the computing time. Krawtchouk moments of each image patch are calculated and used in the subsequent similarity measure in order to perform a weighted averaging. Instead of computing the Euclidean distance of two image patches, the similarity measure is obtained by low-order Krawtchouk moments, which can reduce a lot of computational complexity. Since Krawtchouk moments can extract local features and have a good antinoise ability, they can classify the useful information out of noise and provide an accurate similarity measure. Detailed experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the original NLM method and other moment-based methods according to a comprehensive consideration on subjective visual quality, method noise, peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR), structural similarity(SSIM) index and computing time. Most importantly, the proposed method is around 35 times faster than the original NLM method.展开更多

The exact analytical expressions of the stationary probability distribution (SPD) and the moments of the system are derived. Furthermore, the mean first-passage time is calculated by the use of two approximate methods, respectively. It is found that (i) the double peaks of SPD are rubbed-down into a flat single peak with the increasing of noise intensity; (ii) a minimum occurs on the curve of the second-order moment of the system vs. noise intensity at the point ; (iii) the results obtained by our approximate approach are in good agreement with the numerical calculations for either small or large correlation time , while the conventional steepest descent approximation leads to poor results.展开更多

文摘Background:Combined knee valgus and tibial internal rotation(VL+IR)moments have been shown to stress the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)in several in vitro cadaveric studies.To utilize this knowledge for non-contact ACL injury prevention in sports,it is necessary to elucidate how the ground reaction force(GRF)acting point(center of pressure(CoP))in the stance foot produces combined knee VL+IR moments in risky maneuvers,such as cuttings.However,the effects of the GRF acting point on the development of the combined knee VL+IR moment in cutting are still unknown.Methods:We first established the deterministic mechanical condition that the CoP position relative to the tibial rotational axis differentiates the GRF vector’s directional probability for developing the combined knee VL+IR moment,and theoretically predicted that when the CoP is posterior to the tibial rotational axis,the GRF vector is more likely to produce the combined knee VL+IR moment than when the CoP is anterior to the tibial rotational axis.Then,we tested a stochastic aspect of our theory in a lab-controlled in vivo experiment.Fourteen females performed 60˚cutting under forefoot/rearfoot strike conditions(10 trials each).The positions of lower limb markers and GRF data were measured,and the knee moment due to GRF vector was calculated.The trials were divided into anterior-and posterior-CoP groups depending on the CoP position relative to the tibial rotational axis at each 10 ms interval from 0 to 100 ms after foot strike,and the occurrence rate of the combined knee VL+IR moment was compared between trial groups.Results:The posterior-CoP group showed significantly higher occurrence rates of the combined knee VL+IR moment(maximum of 82.8%)at every time point than those of the anterior-CoP trials,as theoretically predicted by the deterministic mechanical condition.Conclusion:The rearfoot strikes inducing the posterior CoP should be avoided to reduce the risk of non-contact ACL injury associated with the combined knee VL+IR stress.

文摘The single-particle Schrödinger fluid model is designed mainly to calculate the moments of inertia of the axially symmetric deformed nuclei by assuming that each nucleon in the nucleus is moving in a single-particle potential which is deformed with time t, through its parametric dependence on a classical shape variable α(t). Also, the Nilsson model is designed for the calculations of the single-particle energy levels, the magnetic dipole moments, and the electric quadrupole moments of axially symmetric deformed nuclei by assuming that all the nucleons are moving in the field of an anisotropic oscillator potential. On the other hand, the nuclear superfluidity model is designed for the calculations of the nuclear moments of inertia and the electric quadrupole moments of deformed nuclei which have no axes of symmetry by assuming that the nucleons are moving in a quadruple deformed potential. Furthermore, the cranked Nilsson model is designed for the calculations of the total nuclear energy and the quadrupole moments of deformed nuclei which have no axes of symmetry by modifying the Nilsson potential to include second and fourth order oscillations. Accordingly, to investigate whether the six p-shell isotopes <sup>6</sup>Li, <sup>7</sup>Li, <sup>8</sup>Li, <sup>9</sup>Li, <sup>10</sup>Li, and <sup>11</sup>Li have axes of symmetry or not, we applied the four mentioned models to each nucleus by calculating their moments of inertia, their magnetic dipole moments, and their electric quadrupole moments by varying the deformation parameter β and the non-axiality parameter γ in wide ranges of values for this reason. Hence for the assumption that these isotopes are deformed and have axes of symmetry, we applied the single-particle Schrödinger fluid model and the Nilsson model. On the other hand, for the assumption that these isotopes are deformed and have no axes of symmetry, we applied the cranked Nilsson model and the nuclear super fluidity model. As a result of our calculations, we can conclude that the nucleus <sup>6</sup>Li may be assumed to be deformed and has an axis of symmetry.

The moments estimated directly from a sample of observed values of a random variable could be conventional moments (moments about the origin or central moments) and probability-weighted moments (PWMs). Probability curves derived from orthogonal polynomials and conventional moments are probability density functions (PDF), and probability curves derived from orthogonal polynomials and PWMs are inverse cumulative density functions (CDF) of random variables. The proposed approach is verified by two most commonly-used theoretical standard distributions: normal and exponential distribution. Examples from observed data of uniaxial compressive strength of a rock and concrete strength data are presented for illustrative purposes. The results show that probability curves of rock variable can be accurately derived from orthogonal polynomials and sample moments. Orthogonal polynomials and PWMs enable more secure inferences to be made from relatively small samples about an underlying probability curve.

文摘To resolve the completeness and independence of an invariant set derived by the traditional method, a systematic method for deriving a complete set of pseudo-Zernike moment similarity （translation, scale and rotation） invariants is described. First, the relationship between pseudo-Zernike moments of the original image and those of the image having the same shape but distinct orientation and scale is established. Based on this relationship, a complete set of similarity invariants can be expressed as a linear combination of the original pseudo-Zernike moments of the same order and lower order. The problem of image reconstruction from a finite set of the pseudo-Zernike moment invariants （PZMIs） is also investigated. Experimental results show that the proposed PZMIs have better performance than complex moment invariants.
文摘This paper proposes a new set of 3D rotation scaling and translation invariants of 3D radially shifted Legendre moments. We aim to develop two kinds of transformed shifted Legendre moments： a 3D substituted radial shifted Legendre moments （3DSRSLMs） and a 3D weighted radial one （3DWRSLMs）. Both are centered on two types of polynomials. In the first case, a new 3D ra- dial complex moment is proposed. In the second case, new 3D substituted/weighted radial shifted Legendremoments （3DSRSLMs/3DWRSLMs） are introduced using a spherical representation of volumetric image. 3D invariants as derived from the sug- gested 3D radial shifted Legendre moments will appear in the third case. To confirm the proposed approach, we have resolved three is- sues. To confirm the proposed approach, we have resolved three issues： rotation, scaling and translation invariants. The result of experi- ments shows that the 3DSRSLMs and 3DWRSLMs have done better than the 3D radial complex moments with and without noise. Sim- ultaneously, the reconstruction converges rapidly to the original image using 3D radial 3DSRSLMs and 3DWRSLMs, and the test of 3D images are clearly recognized from a set of images that are available in Princeton shape benchmark （PSB） database for 3D image.

文摘When calculating electromagnetic scattering using method of moments （MoM）, integral of the singular term has a significant influence on the results. This paper transforms the singular surface integral to the contour integral. The integrand is expanded to Taylor series and the integral results in a closed form.

Numerical results show that A, B, and C have increasing tendencies; the tilt of the rotation axis increases 2.1×10^ 8 mas/yr; the third component of the rotational angular velocity, ω3 , has a decrease of 1.0×10^ 22 rad/s^2, which is around 23% of the present observed value. Studies show in detail that both 0 and ω3 experience complex fluctuations at various time scales due to the variations of A, B and C.

文摘Radar parameters including radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and Doppler spectrum width were obtained from Doppler spectrum moments. The Doppler spectrum moment is the convolution of both the particle spectrum and the mean air vertical motion. Unlike strong precipitation, the motion of particles in cirrus clouds is quite close to the air motion around them. In this study, a method of Doppler moments was developed and used to retrieve cirrus cloud microphysical properties such as the mean air vertical velocity, mass-weighted diameter, effective particle size, and ice content. Ice content values were retrieved using both the Doppler spectrum method and classic Z-IWC （radar reflectivity-ice water content） relationships; however, the former is a more reasonable method.

文摘To improve the accuracy of illumination estimation while maintaining a relative fast execution speed, a novel learning-based color constancy using color edge moments and regularized regression in an anchored neighborhood is proposed. First, scene images are represented by the color edge moments of various orders. Then, an iterative regression with a squared Frobenius norm（F-norm） regularizer is introduced to learn the mapping between the edge moments and illuminants in the neighborhood of the anchored sample.Illumination estimation for the test image finally becomes the nearest anchored point search followed by a matrix multiplication using the associated mapping matrix which can be precalculated and stored. Experiments on two standard image datasets show that the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms with a performance increase of at least 10. 35% and 7. 44% with regard to median angular error.

文摘An effective algorithm is proposed to detect copy-move forgery.In this algorithm,first,the PatchMatch algorithm is improved by using a reliable order-statistics-based approximate nearest neighbor search algorithm(ROSANNA)to modify the propagation process.Then,fractional quaternion Zernike moments(FrQZMs)are considered to be features extracted from color forged images.Finally,the extracted FrQZMs features are matched by the improved PatchMatch algorithm.The experimental results on two publicly available datasets(FAU and GRIP datasets)show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the state-of-the-art algorithms not only in objective criteria F-measure value but also in visual.Moreover,the proposed algorithm is robust to some attacks,such as additive white Gaussian noise,JPEG compression,rotation,and scaling.

文摘In order to understand the wave forces and moments on a gravity pier foundation which consists of an upper column and a bottom gravity base,a model experiment with a scale of 1:60 has been conducted in a laboratory flume.A corresponding numerical calculation by using the boundary element method has been carried out to provide a comparative analysis.It is shown by the comparisons that the numerical wave forces and moments agree well with the experimental results.It is proved that the wave forces and moments acting on the foundation are completely in their inertia dominative areas for wave loads.With the diffraction effects considered into the inertia item,appropriate inertia coefficients are assessed by the experimental results for the inertia item of the Morison equation.The formula of the inertia item can be used to estimate wave forces and moments on such gravity foundations.

文摘We present the joint probability density function(PDF) between the bucket signals and reference signals in thermal light ghost imaging, by regarding these signals as stochastic variables. The joint PDF allows us to examine the fractional-order moments of the bucket and the reference signals, in which the correlation orders are fractional numbers,other than positive integers in previous studies. The experimental results show that various images can be reconstructed from fractional-order moments. Negative(positive) ghost images are obtained with negative(positive) orders of the bucket signals. The visibility and peak signal-to-noise ratios of the diverse ghost images depend greatly on the fractional orders.

文摘Non-local means(NLM)method is a state-of-the-art denoising algorithm, which replaces each pixel with a weighted average of all the pixels in the image. However, the huge computational complexity makes it impractical for real applications. Thus, a fast non-local means algorithm based on Krawtchouk moments is proposed to improve the denoising performance and reduce the computing time. Krawtchouk moments of each image patch are calculated and used in the subsequent similarity measure in order to perform a weighted averaging. Instead of computing the Euclidean distance of two image patches, the similarity measure is obtained by low-order Krawtchouk moments, which can reduce a lot of computational complexity. Since Krawtchouk moments can extract local features and have a good antinoise ability, they can classify the useful information out of noise and provide an accurate similarity measure. Detailed experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the original NLM method and other moment-based methods according to a comprehensive consideration on subjective visual quality, method noise, peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR), structural similarity(SSIM) index and computing time. Most importantly, the proposed method is around 35 times faster than the original NLM method.
文摘A parabolic-bistable potential system driven by colored noise is studied. The exact analytical expressions of the stationary probability distribution (SPD) and the moments of the system are derived. Furthermore, the mean first-passage time is calculated by the use of two approximate methods, respectively. It is found that (i) the double peaks of SPD are rubbed-down into a flat single peak with the increasing of noise intensity; (ii) a minimum occurs on the curve of the second-order moment of the system vs. noise intensity at the point ; (iii) the results obtained by our approximate approach are in good agreement with the numerical calculations for either small or large correlation time , while the conventional steepest descent approximation leads to poor results.
