The method uses road elements to roughly divide scenes, and then uses spatial cognitive elements such as direction, area, height and their topological constraints to classify them precisely, so as to make them conform to the urban morphological characteristics. Delaunay triangulation network and boundary tracking synthesis algorithm are used to merge and summarize the models, and the models are stored hierarchically. The proposed algorithm should be verified experimentally with a typical urban complex model. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the method used in this paper is at least 20% higher than that of previous one, and with the growth of test data, the higher efficiency is improved. The classification results conform to human cognitive habits, and the generalization levels of different models can be relatively unified by adaptive control of each threshold in the clustering generalization process.展开更多

文摘In the realm of medical image segmentation,particularly in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),achieving robust performance with limited annotated data is a significant challenge.Performance often degrades when faced with testing scenarios from unknown domains.To address this problem,this paper proposes a novel semi-supervised approach for cardiac magnetic resonance image segmentation,aiming to enhance predictive capabilities and domain generalization(DG).This paper establishes an MT-like model utilizing pseudo-labeling and consistency regularization from semi-supervised learning,and integrates uncertainty estimation to improve the accuracy of pseudo-labels.Additionally,to tackle the challenge of domain generalization,a data manipulation strategy is introduced,extracting spatial and content-related information from images across different domains,enriching the dataset with a multi-domain perspective.This papers method is meticulously evaluated on the publicly available cardiac magnetic resonance imaging dataset M&Ms,validating its effectiveness.Comparative analyses against various methods highlight the out-standing performance of this papers approach,demonstrating its capability to segment cardiac magnetic resonance images in previously unseen domains even with limited annotated data.

文摘This paper analyzes the generalization of minimax regret optimization(MRO)under distribution shift.A new learning framework is proposed by injecting the measure of con-ditional value at risk(CVaR)into MRO,and its generalization error bound is established through the lens of uniform convergence analysis.The CVaR-based MRO can achieve the polynomial decay rate on the excess risk,which extends the generalization analysis associated with the expected risk to the risk-averse case.
文摘In order to simplify the three-dimensional building group model, this paper proposes a clustering generalization method based on visual cognitive theory. The method uses road elements to roughly divide scenes, and then uses spatial cognitive elements such as direction, area, height and their topological constraints to classify them precisely, so as to make them conform to the urban morphological characteristics. Delaunay triangulation network and boundary tracking synthesis algorithm are used to merge and summarize the models, and the models are stored hierarchically. The proposed algorithm should be verified experimentally with a typical urban complex model. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the method used in this paper is at least 20% higher than that of previous one, and with the growth of test data, the higher efficiency is improved. The classification results conform to human cognitive habits, and the generalization levels of different models can be relatively unified by adaptive control of each threshold in the clustering generalization process.
文摘Data hiding methods involve embedding secret messages into cover objects to enable covert communication in a way that is difficult to detect.In data hiding methods based on image interpolation,the image size is reduced and then enlarged through interpolation,followed by the embedding of secret data into the newly generated pixels.A general improving approach for embedding secret messages is proposed.The approach may be regarded a general model for enhancing the data embedding capacity of various existing image interpolation-based data hiding methods.This enhancement is achieved by expanding the range of pixel values available for embedding secret messages,removing the limitations of many existing methods,where the range is restricted to powers of two to facilitate the direct embedding of bit-based messages.This improvement is accomplished through the application of multiple-based number conversion to the secret message data.The method converts the message bits into a multiple-based number and uses an algorithm to embed each digit of this number into an individual pixel,thereby enhancing the message embedding efficiency,as proved by a theorem derived in this study.The proposed improvement method has been tested through experiments on three well-known image interpolation-based data hiding methods.The results show that the proposed method can enhance the three data embedding rates by approximately 14%,13%,and 10%,respectively,create stego-images with good quality,and resist RS steganalysis attacks.These experimental results indicate that the use of the multiple-based number conversion technique to improve the three interpolation-based methods for embedding secret messages increases the number of message bits embedded in the images.For many image interpolation-based data hiding methods,which use power-of-two pixel-value ranges for message embedding,other than the three tested ones,the proposed improvement method is also expected to be effective for enhancing their data embedding capabilities.

文摘The traditional detailed model of the dual active bridge(DAB)power electronic transformer is characterized by the high dimensionality of its nodal admittance matrix and the need for a small simulation step size,which limits the speed of electromagnetic transient(EMT)simulations.To overcome these limitations,a novel EMT equivalent model based on a generalized branch-cutting method is proposed to improve the simulation efficiency of the DAB model.The DAB topology is first decomposed into two subnetworks through branch-cutting and node-tearing methods without the introduction of a one-time-step delay.Sub-sequently,the internal nodes of each sub-network are eliminated through network simplification,and the equivalent circuit for the port cascade module is derived.The model is then validated through simulations across various operating conditions.The results demonstrate that the model avoids the loss of accuracy associated with one-time-step delay,the relative error across different conditions remains below 1%,and the simulation acceleration ratios improve as the number of modules increases.

文摘Ancient stellar observations are a valuable cultural heritage,profoundly influencing both cultural domains and modern astronomical research.Shi’s Star Catalog(石氏星经),the oldest extant star catalog in China,faces controversy regarding its observational epoch.Determining this epoch via precession assumes accurate ancient coordinates and correspondence with contemporary stars,posing significant challenges.This study introduces a novel method using the Generalized Hough Transform to ascertain the catalog’s observational epoch.This approach statistically accommodates errors in ancient coordinates and discrepancies between ancient and modern stars,addressing limitations in prior methods.Our findings date Shi’s Star Catalog to the 4th century BCE,with 2nd-century CE adjustments.In comparison,the Western tradition’s oldest known catalog,the Ptolemaic Star Catalog(2nd century CE),likely derives from the Hipparchus Star Catalog(2nd century BCE).Thus,Shi’s Star Catalog is identified as the world’s oldest known star catalog.Beyond establishing its observation period,this study aims to consolidate and digitize these cultural artifacts.

文摘In this paper,a novel method for investigating the particle-crushing behavior of breeding particles in a fusion blanket is proposed.The fractal theory and Weibull distribution are combined to establish a theoretical model,and its validity was verified using a simple impact test.A crushable discrete element method(DEM)framework is built based on the previously established theoretical model.The tensile strength,which considers the fractal theory,size effect,and Weibull variation,was assigned to each generated particle.The assigned strength is then used for crush detection by comparing it with its maximum tensile stress.Mass conservation is ensured by inserting a series of sub-particles whose total mass was equal to the quality loss.Based on the crushable DEM framework,a numerical simulation of the crushing behavior of a pebble bed with hollow cylindrical geometry under a uniaxial compression test was performed.The results of this investigation showed that the particle withstands the external load by contact and sliding at the beginning of the compression process,and the results confirmed that crushing can be considered an important method of resisting the increasing external load.A relatively regular particle arrangement aids in resisting the load and reduces the occurrence of particle crushing.However,a limit exists to the promotion of resistance.When the strain increases beyond this limit,the distribution of the crushing position tends to be isotropic over the entire pebble bed.The theoretical model and crushable DEM framework provide a new method for exploring the pebble bed in a fusion reactor,considering particle crushing.

文摘Effective partitioning is crucial for enabling parallel restoration of power systems after blackouts.This paper proposes a novel partitioning method based on deep reinforcement learning.First,the partitioning decision process is formulated as a Markov decision process(MDP)model to maximize the modularity.Corresponding key partitioning constraints on parallel restoration are considered.Second,based on the partitioning objective and constraints,the reward function of the partitioning MDP model is set by adopting a relative deviation normalization scheme to reduce mutual interference between the reward and penalty in the reward function.The soft bonus scaling mechanism is introduced to mitigate overestimation caused by abrupt jumps in the reward.Then,the deep Q network method is applied to solve the partitioning MDP model and generate partitioning schemes.Two experience replay buffers are employed to speed up the training process of the method.Finally,case studies on the IEEE 39-bus test system demonstrate that the proposed method can generate a high-modularity partitioning result that meets all key partitioning constraints,thereby improving the parallelism and reliability of the restoration process.Moreover,simulation results demonstrate that an appropriate discount factor is crucial for ensuring both the convergence speed and the stability of the partitioning training.

文摘The application of nitrogen fertilizers in agricultural fields can lead to the release of nitrogen-containing gases(NCGs),such as NO_(x),NH_(3) and N_(2)O,which can significantly impact regional atmospheric environment and con-tribute to global climate change.However,there remain considerable research gaps in the accurate measurement of NCGs emissions from agricultural fields,hindering the development of effective emission reduction strategies.We improved an open-top dynamic chambers(OTDCs)system and evaluated the performance by comparing the measured and given fluxes of the NCGs.The results showed that the measured fluxes of NO,N_(2)O and NH_(3)were 1%,2%and 7%lower than the given fluxes,respectively.For the determination of NH_(3) concentration,we employed a stripping coil-ion chromatograph(SC-IC)analytical technique,which demonstrated an absorption efficiency for atmospheric NH_(3) exceeding 96.1%across sampling durations of 6 to 60 min.In the summer maize season,we utilized the OTDCs system to measure the exchange fluxes of NO,NH_(3),and N_(2)O from the soil in the North China Plain.Substantial emissions of NO,NH_(3) and N_(2)O were recorded following fertilization,with peaks of 107,309,1239 ng N/(m^(2)·s),respectively.Notably,significant NCGs emissions were observed following sus-tained heavy rainfall one month after fertilization,particularly with NH_(3) peak being 4.5 times higher than that observed immediately after fertilization.Our results demonstrate that the OTDCs system accurately reflects the emission characteristics of soil NCGs and meets the requirements for long-term and continuous flux observation.
