Starting with the definition of object-oriented remotely sensed information classification pattern and a literature review of related research progress, this paper sums up 4 developing phases of object-oriented classification pattern during the past 20 years.

However current a...The increasing use of digital video everyday in a multitude of electronic devices, including mobile phones, tablets and laptops, poses the need for quick development of cross-platform video software. However current approaches to this direction usually require a long learning curve, and their development lacks standardization. This results in software components that are difficult to reuse, and hard to maintain or extend. In order to overcome such issues, we propose a novel object-oriented framework for efficient development of software systems for video analysis. It consists of a set of four abstract components, suitable for the implementation of independent plug-in modules for video acquisition, preprocessing, analysis and output handling. The extensibility of each module can be facilitated by sub-modules specifying additional functionalities. This architecture enables quick responses to changes and re-configurability;thus conforming to the requirements of agile software development practices. Considering the need for platform independency, the proposed Java Video Analysis (JVA) framework is implemented in Java. It is publicly available through the web as open-access software, supported by a growing collection of implemented modules. Its efficiency is empirically validated for the development of a representative video analysis system.展开更多

文摘The accurate mechanical analysis of thick-walled pressure vessel structures composed of advanced materials,such as hyperelastic and functionally graded materials(FGMs),is critical for ensuring their safety and optimizing their design.However,conventional numerical methods can face challenges with the non-linearities inherent in hyperelasticity and the complex spatial variations in FGMs.This paper presents a novel hybrid numerical approach combining Physics-Informed Neural Networks(PINNs)with Finite Element Method(FEM)derived data for the robust analysis of thick-walled,axisymmetric,heterogeneous,hyperelastic pressure vessels with elliptical geometries.A PINN framework incorporating neo-Hookean constitutive relations is developed in MATLAB.To enhance training efficiency and accuracy,the PINN’s loss function is augmented with displacement data obtained from high-fidelity FEM simulations performed in ANSYS.The methodology is rigorously validated by comparing PINN-predicted displacement and von Mises stress fields against ANSYS benchmarks for various scenarios of FGMconfigurations(with material properties varying according to a power law)subjected to internal and external pressurization.The results demonstrate excellent agreement between the proposed hybrid PINN-FEMapproach and conventional FEMsolutions across all test cases,accurately capturing complex deformation patterns and stress concentrations.This study highlights the potential of data-augmented PINNs as an effective and accurate computational tool for tackling complex solid mechanics problems involving non-linearmaterials and significant heterogeneity,offering a promising avenue for future research in engineering design and analysis.

文摘This article presents a micro-structure tensor enhanced elasto-plastic finite element(FE)method to address strength anisotropy in three-dimensional(3D)soil slope stability analysis.The gravity increase method(GIM)is employed to analyze the stability of 3D anisotropic soil slopes.The accuracy of the proposed method is first verified against the data in the literature.We then simulate the 3D soil slope with a straight slope surface and the convex and concave slope surfaces with a 90turning corner to study the 3D effect on slope stability and the failure mechanism under anisotropy conditions.Based on our numerical results,the end effect significantly impacts the failure mechanism and safety factor.Anisotropy degree notably affects the safety factor,with higher degrees leading to deeper landslides.For concave slopes,they can be approximated by straight slopes with suitable boundary conditions to assess their stability.Furthermore,a case study of the Saint-Alban test embankment A in Quebec,Canada,is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed FE model.

文摘With the wide use of high-resolution remotely sensed imagery, the object-oriented remotely sensed informa- tion classification pattern has been intensively studied. Starting with the definition of object-oriented remotely sensed information classification pattern and a literature review of related research progress, this paper sums up 4 developing phases of object-oriented classification pattern during the past 20 years. Then, we discuss the three aspects of method- ology in detail, namely remotely sensed imagery segmentation, feature analysis and feature selection, and classification rule generation, through comparing them with remotely sensed information classification method based on per-pixel. At last, this paper presents several points that need to be paid attention to in the future studies on object-oriented RS in- formation classification pattern: 1) developing robust and highly effective image segmentation algorithm for multi-spectral RS imagery; 2) improving the feature-set including edge, spatial-adjacent and temporal characteristics; 3) discussing the classification rule generation classifier based on the decision tree; 4) presenting evaluation methods for classification result by object-oriented classification pattern.

文摘To study the uncertainty quantification of resonant states in open quantum systems,we developed a Bayesian framework by integrating a reduced basis method(RBM)emulator with the Gamow coupled-channel(GCC)approach.The RBM,constructed via eigenvector continuation and trained on both bound and resonant configurations,enables the fast and accurate emulation of resonance properties across the parameter space.To identify the physical resonant states from the emulator’s output,we introduce an overlap-based selection technique that effectively isolates true solutions from background artifacts.By applying this framework to unbound nucleus ^(6)Be,we quantified the model uncertainty in the predicted complex energies.The results demonstrate relative errors of 17.48%in the real part and 8.24%in the imaginary part,while achieving a speedup of four orders of magnitude compared with the full GCC calculations.To further investigate the asymptotic behavior of the resonant-state wavefunctions within the RBM framework,we employed a Lippmann–Schwinger(L–S)-based correction scheme.This approach not only improves the consistency between eigenvalues and wavefunctions but also enables a seamless extension from real-space training data to the complex energy plane.By bridging the gap between bound-state and continuum regimes,the L–S correction significantly enhances the emulator’s capability to accurately capture continuum structures in open quantum systems.
文摘Objective:This study aims to explore the benefit analysis of the same disease in different departments of public hospitals under the DIP payment method.Methods:This study is a retrospective analysis that selected clinical data from patients who received treatment in the Department of Orthopedics and the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at our hospital from January 1,2023,to December 31,2023.The study compared the costs of medications,examinations,treatments,laboratory tests,nursing and other expenses,and total treatment costs between the two departments.It analyzed the cost structure of the two departments and proposed further improvement suggestions.Results:The study results indicated that the total costs in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion were significantly higher than those in the Department of Orthopedics.Among medication costs,the total medication costs in the Department of Orthopedics were higher than those in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion,with costs for Western medicine,proprietary Chinese medicine,and herbal medicine all being higher(p<0.05).Regarding examination costs,consultation fees in the Department of Orthopedics were lower than those in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion,while examination costs were higher(p<0.05).In terms of treatment costs,orthopedic treatment and surgical fees were higher than those in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion(p<0.05).For laboratory test costs,orthopedic laboratory fees were significantly higher than those in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion(p<0.05).Among nursing and other expenses,orthopedic blood transfusion,bed fees,and other expenses were higher than those in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion,while nursing fees were lower(p<0.05).Conclusion:Treatment fees in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion are the core and account for a relatively high proportion of the total costs.The benefits generated by the Department of Orthopedics are primarily derived from medication,examination,and laboratory fees,aligning with the characteristics of combining diagnosis,medication,and surgical intervention in orthopedic treatment.Consultation fees,nursing fees,and bed fees in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion are higher than those in the Department of Orthopedics,indicating a longer treatment cycle in acupuncture,which warrants clinical attention.

文摘The incremental capacity analysis(ICA)technique is notably limited by its sensitivity to variations in charging conditions,which constrains its practical applicability in real-world scenarios.This paper introduces an ICA-compensation technique to address this limitation and propose a generalized framework for assessing the state of health(SOH)of batteries based on ICA that is applicable under differing charging conditions.This novel approach calculates the voltage profile under quasi-static conditions by subtracting the voltage increase attributable to the additional polarization effects at high currents from the measured voltage profile.This approach's efficacy is contingent upon precisely acquiring the equivalent impedance.To obtain the equivalent impedance throughout the batteries'lifespan while minimizing testing costs,this study employs a current interrupt technique in conjunction with a long short-term memory(LSTM)network to develop a predictive model for equivalent impedance.Following the derivation of ICA curves using voltage profiles under quasi-static conditions,the research explores two scenarios for SOH estimation:one utilizing only incremental capacity(IC)features and the other incorporating both IC features and IC sampling.A genetic algorithm-optimized backpropagation neural network(GABPNN)is employed for the SOH estimation.The proposed generalized framework is validated using independent training and test datasets.Variable test conditions are applied for the test set to rigorously evaluate the methodology under challenging conditions.These evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves an estimation accuracy of 1.04%for RMSE and 0.90%for MAPE across a spectrum of charging rates ranging from 0.1 C to 1 C and starting SOCs between 0%and 70%,which constitutes a major advancement compared to established ICA methods.It also significantly enhances the applicability of conventional ICA techniques in varying charging conditions and negates the necessity for separate testing protocols for each charging scenario.

文摘This paper presents a framework for constructing surrogate models for sensitivity analysis of structural dynamics behavior.Physical models involving deformation,such as collisions,vibrations,and penetration,are devel-oped using the material point method.To reduce the computational cost of Monte Carlo simulations,response surface models are created as surrogate models for the material point system to approximate its dynamic behavior.An adaptive randomized greedy algorithm is employed to construct a sparse polynomial chaos expansion model with a fixed order,effectively balancing the accuracy and computational efficiency of the surrogate model.Based on the sparse polynomial chaos expansion,sensitivity analysis is conducted using the global finite difference and Sobol methods.Several examples of structural dynamics are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in addressing structural dynamics problems.

文摘To address the deficiency in loss diagnostic methods for turbines working at off-design angles of attack,a novel loss decomposition method suitable for cascade flow with large separation is proposed.The method proposed has the following advantages over existing methods:(A)It enables refined loss decomposition for cascade flows,capable of identifying the spatial range of specific regions such as shear layers and backflow regions,thereby obtaining the loss characteristics of these regions.(B)The region identification criteria in this method have clear physical meanings,rather than relying on arbitrary area division.(C)The method has good applicability and is suitable for cascade flows under various angles of attack.Validation shows that this method achieves satisfactory results.Based on this method,the loss mechanisms of a low-pressure turbine cascade at a low Reynolds number of 4.3×10^(4)and angles of attack of-5°,-20°,and-45°are investigated using Large Eddy Simulations(LESs).Entropy analysis quantitatively demonstrates significant differences in the composition of losses among flow regions,due to their different flow characteristics.From the perspective of flow regions,wake loss dominates total loss,while loss in backflow region is negligible.Furthermore,the variation mechanisms of loss with incidence differ among different flow regions.

文摘Modern satellite propulsion systems are generally designed to fulfill multiphase-missions.Traditional reliability modelling methods have problems of inadequate depict capacity considering complex systems such as satellite propulsion system.An extended object-oriented Petri net(EOOPN)method was proposed to facilitate the reliability modelling of satellite propulsion system in the paper.The proposed method was specified for modelling of phased mission system,and it could be implemented by generating combination of Petri net(PN)principles and object-oriented(OO)programming.The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated through the reliability modelling of a satellite propulsion system with EOOPN.The major advantage of the proposed method is that the dimension of net model can be reduced significantly,and phased mission system at system,phase,or component levels can be respectively depicted.Furthermore,the state-space explosion problem is solved by the proposed EOOPN model efficiently.
文摘The increasing use of digital video everyday in a multitude of electronic devices, including mobile phones, tablets and laptops, poses the need for quick development of cross-platform video software. However current approaches to this direction usually require a long learning curve, and their development lacks standardization. This results in software components that are difficult to reuse, and hard to maintain or extend. In order to overcome such issues, we propose a novel object-oriented framework for efficient development of software systems for video analysis. It consists of a set of four abstract components, suitable for the implementation of independent plug-in modules for video acquisition, preprocessing, analysis and output handling. The extensibility of each module can be facilitated by sub-modules specifying additional functionalities. This architecture enables quick responses to changes and re-configurability;thus conforming to the requirements of agile software development practices. Considering the need for platform independency, the proposed Java Video Analysis (JVA) framework is implemented in Java. It is publicly available through the web as open-access software, supported by a growing collection of implemented modules. Its efficiency is empirically validated for the development of a representative video analysis system.
