For each source, we estimate its luminosities in radio, optical and X-ray, the broad-band spectral index from radio to X-ray and the peak frequency of the synchrotron emission, and make a statistical analysis of the data obtained. Our main results are as follows： （1） The broad-band spectral index and the peak frequency have no correlation with the redshift, while they are inversely correlated with each other and they could be regarded as equivalent classifying criteria of BL Lac objects. （2） There are significant effects of the luminosity/redshift relation on the observed luminosity distribution in our sample, hence, if the radio luminosity is to be used as a classifying criterion of BL Lac objects, it should not be regarded as equivalent to the broad-band spectral index or the peak frequency. （3） Our resuits supply a specific piece of evidence for the suggestion that the use of luminosities always introduces a redshift bias to the data and show that the location of the peak frequency is not always linked to the luminosity of any wave band.展开更多

During this period, a total of 19,126 solar flares were observed regardless the class: 3548 flares in solar cycle 23 (SC23) and 15,668 flares in solar cycle 24 (SC24). Our findings show that the cycle 23 has observed the highest occurrences of M-class and X-class flares, whereas cycle 24 has pointed out a predominance of B-class and C-class flares throughout its different phases. The results indicate that the cycle 23 was magnetically more intense than cycle 24, leading to more powerful solar flares and more frequent geomagnetic storms, capable of generating significant electromagnetic emissions that can affect satellites and GPS signals. The decrease in intense solar flares during cycle 24 compared to cycle 23 reflects an evolution in solar activity patterns over time.展开更多

文摘To investigate the applicability of four commonly used color difference formulas(CIELAB,CIE94,CMC(1:1),and CIEDE2000)in the printing field on 3D objects,as well as the impact of four standard light sources(D65,D50,A,and TL84)on 3D color difference evaluations,50 glossy spheres with a diameter of 2cm based on the Sailner J4003D color printing device were created.These spheres were centered around the five recommended colors(gray,red,yellow,green,and blue)by CIE.Color difference was calculated according to the four formulas,and 111 pairs of experimental samples meeting the CIELAB gray scale color difference requirements(1.0-14.0)were selected.Ten observers,aged between 22 and 27 with normal color vision,were participated in this study,using the gray scale method from psychophysical experiments to conduct color difference evaluations under the four light sources,with repeated experiments for each observer.The results indicated that the overall effect of the D65 light source on 3D objects color difference was minimal.In contrast,D50 and A light sources had a significant impact within the small color difference range,while the TL84 light source influenced both large and small color difference considerably.Among the four color difference formulas,CIEDE2000 demonstrated the best predictive performance for color difference in 3D objects,followed by CMC(1:1),CIE94,and CIELAB.

文摘Visible and infrared(RGB-IR)fusion object detection plays an important role in security,disaster relief,etc.In recent years,deep-learning-based RGB-IR fusion detection methods have been developing rapidly,but still struggle to deal with the complex and changing scenarios captured by drones,mainly due to two reasons:(A)RGB-IR fusion detectors are susceptible to inferior inputs that degrade performance and stability.(B)RGB-IR fusion detectors are susceptible to redundant features that reduce accuracy and efficiency.In this paper,an innovative RGB-IR fusion detection framework based on global-local feature optimization,named GLFDet,is proposed to improve the detection performance and efficiency of drone-captured objects.The key components of GLFDet include a Global Feature Optimization(GFO)module,a Local Feature Optimization(LFO)module and a Channel Separation Fusion(CSF)module.Specifically,GFO calculates the information content of the input image from the frequency domain and optimizes the features holistically.Then,LFO dynamically selects high-value features and filters out low-value features before fusion,which significantly improves the efficiency of fusion.Finally,CSF fuses the RGB and IR features across the corresponding channels,which avoids the rearrangement of the channel relationships and enhances the model stability.Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method achieves the best performance on three popular RGB-IR datasets Drone Vehicle,VEDAI,and LLVIP.In addition,GLFDet is more lightweight than other comparable models,making it more appealing to edge devices such as drones.The code is available at https://github.com/lao chen330/GLFDet.

文摘Unlike traditional video cameras,event cameras capture asynchronous event streams in which each event encodes pixel location,triggers’timestamps,and the polarity of brightness changes.In this paper,we introduce a novel hypergraph-based framework for moving object classification.Specifically,we capture moving objects with an event camera,to perceive and collect asynchronous event streams in a high temporal resolution.Unlike stacked event frames,we encode asynchronous event data into a hypergraph,fully mining the high-order correlation of event data,and designing a mixed convolutional hypergraph neural network for training to achieve a more efficient and accurate motion target recognition.The experimental results show that our method has a good performance in moving object classification(e.g.,gait identification).
文摘Abs As a crucial vehicle for young children’s artistic enlightenment,music appreciation holds an irreplaceable value in cognitive development,emotional edification,and the cultivation of aesthetic abilities.Currently,in music appreciation activities for senior kindergarten classes,there is a widespread phenomenon of homogenized teaching content and mechanized teaching methods,which results in insufficient enthusiasm for participation among young children and a superficial understanding of music.The situational teaching method,by constructing concrete and immersive learning scenarios,can effectively activate young children’s multi-dimensional sensory experiences.Its characteristics of intuitiveness and interactivity are highly consistent with the traits of young children’s concrete thinking,thus providing a new approach to resolving the current predicament.The research focuses on the practical pain points in music appreciation activities for senior kindergarten classes and proposes targeted solutions from four dimensions:content design,method innovation,resource integration,and teacher training,aiming to reconstruct a child-centered,in-depth music learning model.Practice has shown that the situational teaching method can not only enhance young children’s perceptual sensitivity to musical elements but also guide them to achieve emotional resonance through role-playing and life-related associations,laying a foundation for the sustainable development of young children’s musical literacy.

文摘Accurate detection of small objects is critically important in high-stakes applications such as military reconnaissance and emergency rescue.However,low resolution,occlusion,and background interference make small object detection a complex and demanding task.One effective approach to overcome these issues is the integration of multimodal image data to enhance detection capabilities.This paper proposes a novel small object detection method that utilizes three types of multimodal image combinations,such as Hyperspectral-Multispectral(HSMS),Hyperspectral-Synthetic Aperture Radar(HS-SAR),and HS-SAR-Digital Surface Model(HS-SAR-DSM).The detection process is done by the proposed Jaccard Deep Q-Net(JDQN),which integrates the Jaccard similarity measure with a Deep Q-Network(DQN)using regression modeling.To produce the final output,a Deep Maxout Network(DMN)is employed to fuse the detection results obtained from each modality.The effectiveness of the proposed JDQN is validated using performance metrics,such as accuracy,Mean Squared Error(MSE),precision,and Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE).Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed JDQN method outperforms existing approaches,achieving the highest accuracy of 0.907,a precision of 0.904,the lowest normalized MSE of 0.279,and a normalized RMSE of 0.528.

文摘Shape prediction of deformable linear objects(DLO)plays critical roles in robotics,medical devices,aerospace,and manufacturing,especially in manipulating objects such as cables,wires,and fibers.Due to the inherent flexibility of DLO and their complex deformation behaviors,such as bending and torsion,it is challenging to predict their dynamic characteristics accurately.Although the traditional physical modeling method can simulate the complex deformation behavior of DLO,the calculation cost is high and it is difficult to meet the demand of real-time prediction.In addition,the scarcity of data resources also limits the prediction accuracy of existing models.To solve these problems,a method of fiber shape prediction based on a physical information graph neural network(PIGNN)is proposed in this paper.This method cleverly combines the powerful expressive power of graph neural networks with the strict constraints of physical laws.Specifically,we learn the initial deformation model of the fiber through graph neural networks(GNN)to provide a good initial estimate for the model,which helps alleviate the problem of data resource scarcity.During the training process,we incorporate the physical prior knowledge of the dynamic deformation of the fiber optics into the loss function as a constraint,which is then fed back to the network model.This ensures that the shape of the fiber optics gradually approaches the true target shape,effectively solving the complex nonlinear behavior prediction problem of deformable linear objects.Experimental results demonstrate that,compared to traditional methods,the proposed method significantly reduces execution time and prediction error when handling the complex deformations of deformable fibers.This showcases its potential application value and superiority in fiber manipulation.
文摘The increasing prevalence of violent incidents in public spaces has created an urgent need for intelligent surveillance systems capable of detecting dangerous objects in real time.While traditional video surveillance relies on human monitoring,this approach suffers from limitations such as fatigue and delayed response times.This study addresses these challenges by developing an automated detection system using advanced deep learning techniques to enhance public safety.Our approach leverages state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks(CNNs),specifically You Only Look Once version 4(YOLOv4)and EfficientDet,for real-time object detection.The system was trained on a comprehensive dataset of over 50,000 images,enhanced through data augmentation techniques to improve robustness across varying lighting conditions and viewing angles.Cloud-based deployment on Amazon Web Services(AWS)ensured scalability and efficient processing.Experimental evaluations demonstrated high performance,with YOLOv4 achieving 92%accuracy and processing images in 0.45 s,while EfficientDet reached 93%accuracy with a slightly longer processing time of 0.55 s per image.Field tests in high-traffic environments such as train stations and shopping malls confirmed the system’s reliability,with a false alarm rate of only 4.5%.The integration of automatic alerts enabled rapid security responses to potential threats.The proposed CNN-based system provides an effective solution for real-time detection of dangerous objects in video surveillance,significantly improving response times and public safety.While YOLOv4 proved more suitable for speed-critical applications,EfficientDet offered marginally better accuracy.Future work will focus on optimizing the system for low-light conditions and further reducing false positives.This research contributes to the advancement of AI-driven surveillance technologies,offering a scalable framework adaptable to various security scenarios.

文摘Accurate segmentation of camouflage objects in aerial imagery is vital for improving the efficiency of UAV-based reconnaissance and rescue missions.However,camouflage object segmentation is increasingly challenging due to advances in both camouflage materials and biological mimicry.Although multispectral-RGB based technology shows promise,conventional dual-aperture multispectral-RGB imaging systems are constrained by imprecise and time-consuming registration and fusion across different modalities,limiting their performance.Here,we propose the Reconstructed Multispectral-RGB Fusion Network(RMRF-Net),which reconstructs RGB images into multispectral ones,enabling efficient multimodal segmentation using only an RGB camera.Specifically,RMRF-Net employs a divergentsimilarity feature correction strategy to minimize reconstruction errors and includes an efficient boundary-aware decoder to enhance object contours.Notably,we establish the first real-world aerial multispectral-RGB semantic segmentation of camouflage objects dataset,including 11 object categories.Experimental results demonstrate that RMRF-Net outperforms existing methods,achieving 17.38 FPS on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin,with only a 0.96%drop in mIoU compared to the RTX 3090,showing its practical applicability in multimodal remote sensing.

文摘Most image-based object detection methods employ horizontal bounding boxes(HBBs)to capture objects in tunnel images.However,these bounding boxes often fail to effectively enclose objects oriented in arbitrary directions,resulting in reduced accuracy and suboptimal detection performance.Moreover,HBBs cannot provide directional information for rotated objects.This study proposes a rotated detection method for identifying apparent defects in shield tunnels.Specifically,the oriented region-convolutional neural network(oriented R-CNN)is utilized to detect rotated objects in tunnel images.To enhance feature extraction,a novel hybrid backbone combining CNN-based networks with Swin Transformers is proposed.A feature fusion strategy is employed to integrate features extracted from both networks.Additionally,a neck network based on the bidirectional-feature pyramid network(Bi-FPN)is designed to combine multi-scale object features.The bolt hole dataset is curated to evaluate the efficacyof the proposed method.In addition,a dedicated pre-processing approach is developed for large-sized images to accommodate the rotated,dense,and small-scale characteristics of objects in tunnel images.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a more than 4%improvement in mAP_(50-95)compared to other rotated detectors and a 6.6%-12.7%improvement over mainstream horizontal detectors.Furthermore,the proposed method outperforms mainstream methods by 6.5%-14.7%in detecting leakage bolt holes,underscoring its significant engineering applicability.
