文摘自监督单目深度估计受到了国内外研究人员的广泛关注。现有基于深度学习的自监督单目深度估计方法主要采用编码器-解码器结构。然而,这些方法在编码过程中对输入图像进行下采样操作,导致部分图像信息,尤其是图像的边界信息丢失,进而影响深度图的精度。针对上述问题,提出一种基于拉普拉斯金字塔的自监督单目深度估计方法(Self-supervised Monocular Depth Estimation Based on the Laplace Pyramid,LpDepth)。此方法的核心思想是:首先,使用拉普拉斯残差图丰富编码特征,以弥补在下采样过程中丢失的特征信息;其次,在下采样过程中使用最大池化层突显和放大特征信息,使编码器在特征提取过程中更容易地提取到训练模型所需要的特征信息;最后,使用残差模块解决过拟合问题,提高解码器对特征的利用效率。在KITTI和Make3D等数据集上对所提方法进行了测试,同时将其与现有经典方法进行了比较。实验结果证明了所提方法的有效性。
文摘Depth maps play a crucial role in various practical applications such as computer vision,augmented reality,and autonomous driving.How to obtain clear and accurate depth information in video depth estimation is a significant challenge faced in the field of computer vision.However,existing monocular video depth estimation models tend to produce blurred or inaccurate depth information in regions with object edges and low texture.To address this issue,we propose a monocular depth estimation model architecture guided by semantic segmentation masks,which introduces semantic information into the model to correct the ambiguous depth regions.We have evaluated the proposed method,and experimental results show that our method improves the accuracy of edge depth,demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.

文摘During upward horizontal stratified backfill mining,stable backfill is essential for cap and sill pillar recovery.Currently,the primary method for calculating the required strength of backfill is the generalized three-dimensional(3 D)vertical stress model,which ignores the effect of mine depth,failing to obtain the vertical stress at different positions along stope length.Therefore,this paper develops and validates an improved 3 D model solution through numerical simulation in Rhino-FLAC^(3D),and examines the stress state and stability of backfill under different conditions.The results show that the improved model can accurately calculate the vertical stress at different mine depths and positions along stope length.The error rates between the results of the improved model and numerical simulation are below 4%,indicating high reliability and applicability.The maximum vertical stress(σ_(zz,max))in backfill is positively correlated with the degree of rock-backfill closure,which is enhanced by mine depth and elastic modulus of backfill,while weakened by stope width and inclination,backfill friction angle,and elastic modulus of rock mass.Theσ_(zz,max)reaches its peak when the stope length is 150 m,whileσ_(zz,max)is insensitive to changes in rock-backfill interface parameters.In all cases,the backfill stability can be improved by reducingσ_(zz,max).The results provide theoretical guidance for the backfill strength design and the safe and efficient recovery of ore pillars in deep mining.

文摘Coal seam water injection in tunnels is an effective technical measure for preventing coal mine rock bursts.This study used the improved split Hopkinson pressure bar(SHPB)to apply three equal static stresses to water-saturated coal to simulate the initial stress environment of coal at different depths.Then,dynamic mechanical experiments were conducted on the saturated coal at different depths to investigate the effects of water saturation and depth on the coal samples’dynamic mechanical properties.Under uniaxial compression and without lateral compression,the strength of coal samples decreased to varying degrees in the saturated state;under different depth conditions,the dynamic strength of coal in the saturated state decreased compared with that in the natural state.However,compared with that at 0 m,the reduction in the strength of coal under the saturated condition at 200,400,600,and 800 m was significantly reduced.The findings of this study provide a basic theoretical foundation for the prevention and control of dynamic coal mine disasters.

文摘Eye depth is an important agronomic trait affecting tubers'appearance,quality,and processing suitability.Hence,cultivating varieties with uniform shapes and shallow eye depth are important goals for potato breeding.In this study,based on the primary mapping of the tuber eyedepth locus using a small primary-segregating population,a large secondary-segregating population with 2100 individuals was used to map the eye-depth locus further.A major quantitative trait locus for eye-depth on chromosome 10 was identified(designated qEyd10.1)using BSAseq and traditional QTL mapping methods.The qEyd10.1 could explain 55.0%of the eye depth phenotypic variation and was further narrowed to a 309.10 kb interval using recombinant analysis.To predict candidate genes,tissue sectioning and RNA-seq of the specific tuber tissues were performed.Genes encoding members of the peroxidase superfamily with likely roles in indole acetic acid regulation were considered the most promising candidates.These results will facilitate marker-assisted selection for the shallow-eye trait in potato breeding and provide a solid basis for eye-depth gene cloning and the analysis of tuber eye-depth regulatory mechanisms.
文摘AIM:To assess visual outcomes and satisfaction of a non-diffractive extended depth of focus(EDOF)intraocular lens(IOL)in individuals with ocular hypertension(OHT)and well-controlled mild glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery.METHODS:An investigator-initiated,single-center,prospective,interventional,noncomparative study conducted in Montreal,Canada.The study enrolled 31 patients(55 eyes)with OHT or mild glaucoma who received a non-diffractive EDOF IOL(Acrysof IQ Vivity).Participants underwent sequential cataract surgery with the Vivity IOL.Follow-up evaluations occurred at 1d,1,and 3mo postoperatively,assessing uncorrected distance,intermediate,and near visual acuity.Questionnaires(QUVID:Questionnaire for visual disturbances and IOLSAT:Intraocular lens satisfaction)were administered pre and post-operatively to measure visual disturbances and spectacle independence in various lighting.Safety parameters included intraocular pressure(IOP),glaucoma medications,spherical equivalence,mean deviation and pattern standard deviation or square root of lost variance on Octopus visual field.RESULTS:At 1 and 3mo postoperatively,significant improvements were observed in uncorrected distance and intermediate visual acuity.Spectacle independence was enhanced for distance and intermediate vision,especially in bright light settings.Spectacle-free intermediate vision was improved even in dim lighting.Visual disturbances,particularly glare symptoms,were reduced,and there was a notable decrease in IOP and glaucoma medication burden at 3mo.There was more hazy vision postoperatively with no impact on visual acuity and visual satisfaction.CONCLUSION:The non-diffractive EDOF lens improves distance and intermediate spectacle-free visual function in patients with OHT and well-controlled glaucoma.The findings highlight significant improvements in visual acuity,reduced glare,enhanced spectacle independence,and improved visual performance in different lighting conditions.

文摘Maintaining the s-polarization state of laser beams is important to achieve high modulation depth in a laser-interference-based super-resolution structured illumination microscope(SR-SIM).However,the imperfect optical components can depolarize the laser beams hence degenerating the modulation depth.Here,we first presented a direct measurement method designed to estimate the modulation depth more precisely by shifting illumination patterns with equal phase steps.This measurement method greatly reduces the dependence of modulation depths on the samples,and then developed a polarization optimization method to achieve high modulation depth at all orientations by actively and quantitatively compensating for the additional phase difference using a combination of waveplate and a liquid crystal variable retarder(LCVR).Experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve illumination patterns with modulation depth higher than 0.94 at three orientations with only one LCVR voltage,which enables isotropic resolution improvement.
