However, in horizontally bedded and continuous strata, buried fractures in high grayscale value zones are difficult to detect. Furthermore, middleand small-scale fractures in fractured zones where migration image energies are usually not concentrated perfectly are also hard to detect because of the fuzzy, clouded shadows owing to low grayscale values. A new fracture enhancement method combined with histogram equalization is proposed to solve these problems. With this method, the contrast between discontinuities and background in coherence images is increased, linear structures are highlighted by stepwise adjustment of the threshold of the coherence image, and fractures are detected at different scales. Application of the method shows that it can also improve fracture cognition and accuracy.展开更多

Thermal treatments combined with deformation are capable of finely regulating the process of precipitation and distribution of precipitates. Deformation-induced defects exert significant impacts on the precipitation and already present precipitates, which however is often overlooked. In this study, the interactions between deformation and precipitation/precipitates, and their impacts on mechanical properties were systematically investigated in the solution-treated (ST) Al-0.61Mg-1.17Si-0.5Cu (wt.%), processed by multi-pass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and thermal treatments. Novel deformation-mediated cyclic evolution of precipitates is discovered: ST→ (1,2 passes: deformation induced precipitation) Guinier Preston (GP) zones→ (An250/30) Q’ and L phases→ (3-pass: deformation induced fragmentation/resolution) spherical precipitates→ (4-pass: deformation induced further fragmentation/resolution) GP zones. On this basis, we extend the quasi-binary phase diagram of Al-Mg_(2)Si along deformation as the third dimension and construct an innovative defect phase diagram for the Al-Mg-Si-based system. To testify to the effect of deformation-mediated cyclic evolution of precipitation/precipitates on the optimum mechanical properties, peak-aging treatments were performed in samples of ST and 3-pass states. Based on the microscopic characterizations, a distinctive mechanism of peak-aging strengthening is proposed. Notably in the 3-pass ECAPed and peak-aged sample the dominant strengthening phases become the L precipitates that thrived from the segmented and spherical L phases, rather than β’’ precipitates in the solely peak-aged ST sample. Our work provides a feasible example for exploring the combined processing technique of multi-step deformation and thermal treatments, to optimize the mechanical properties.展开更多

文摘Early detection of Forest and Land Fires(FLF)is essential to prevent the rapid spread of fire as well as minimize environmental damage.However,accurate detection under real-world conditions,such as low light,haze,and complex backgrounds,remains a challenge for computer vision systems.This study evaluates the impact of three image enhancement techniques—Histogram Equalization(HE),Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization(CLAHE),and a hybrid method called DBST-LCM CLAHE—on the performance of the YOLOv11 object detection model in identifying fires and smoke.The D-Fire dataset,consisting of 21,527 annotated images captured under diverse environmental scenarios and illumination levels,was used to train and evaluate the model.Each enhancement method was applied to the dataset before training.Model performance was assessed using multiple metrics,including Precision,Recall,mean Average Precision at 50%IoU(mAP50),F1-score,and visual inspection through bounding box results.Experimental results show that all three enhancement techniques improved detection performance.HE yielded the highest mAP50 score of 0.771,along with a balanced precision of 0.784 and recall of 0.703,demonstrating strong generalization across different conditions.DBST-LCM CLAHE achieved the highest Precision score of 79%,effectively reducing false positives,particularly in scenes with dispersed smoke or complex textures.CLAHE,with slightly lower overall metrics,contributed to improved local feature detection.Each technique showed distinct advantages:HE enhanced global contrast;CLAHE improved local structure visibility;and DBST-LCM CLAHE provided an optimal balance through dynamic block sizing and local contrast preservation.These results underline the importance of selecting preprocessing methods according to detection priorities,such as minimizing false alarms or maximizing completeness.This research does not propose a new model architecture but rather benchmarks a recent lightweight detector,YOLOv11,combined with image enhancement strategies for practical deployment in FLF monitoring.The findings support the integration of preprocessing techniques to improve detection accuracy,offering a foundation for real-time FLF detection systems on edge devices or drones,particularly in regions like Indonesia.
