Adaptive locating algorithms of concentric circle center were created to accurately capture the circle center of original Placido-based image, expand the image into matrix centered around the circle center, and convert the matrix into the polar coordinate system with the circle center as pole. Adaptive image smoothing treatment was followed and the characteristics of useful circles were extracted via horizontal edge detection, based on useful circles presenting approximate horizontal lines while noise signals presenting vertical lines or different angles. Effective combination of different operators of morphology were designed to remedy data loss caused by noise disturbances, get complete image about circle edge detection to satisfy the requests of precise calculation on follow-up parameters. The experimental data show that the algorithms meet the requirements of practical detection with characteristics of less data loss, higher data accuracy and easier availability.展开更多

The main purpose of our seismic data preprocessing QC is to enable the use of appropriate header information, data that are free of noise-dominated traces, and/or flawed vertical stacking in subsequent processing steps. In this article, I provide an account of utilizing survey design specifications, noise properties, first breaks, and normal moveout for rapid and thorough graphical QC/QA diagnostics, which are easy to apply and efficient in the diagnosis of inconsistencies. A correlated vibroseis time-lapse 3D-seismic data set from a CO2-flood monitoring survey is used for demonstrating QC diagnostics. An important by-product of the QC workflow is establishing the number of layers for a refraction statics model in a data-driven graphical manner that capitalizes on the spatial coverage of the 3D seismic data.展开更多

Because of the advantages of having no at- mospheric disturbances and the slow rotation of the Moon, we can make long-term continuous observations of a series of important celestial objects in the near ultra- violet band （245-340 nm）, and perform a sky survey of selected areas, which can- not be completed on Earth. We can find characteristic changes in celestial brightness with time by analyzing image data from the MUVT, and deduce the radiation mech- anism and physical properties of these celestial objects after comparing with a phys- ical model. In order to explain the scientific purposes of MUVT, this article analyzes the preprocessing of MUVT image data and makes a preliminary evaluation of data quality. The results demonstrate that the methods used for data collection and prepro- cessing are effective, and the Level 2A and 2B image data satisfy the requirements of follow-up scientific researches.展开更多

It is a weighted average filter integrating the average filter and the improved range filter. The weighted factors are deduced in terms of a cost function, which are adjustable to different images. To validate the proposed method, extensive tests are carried out on a developed TDI CCD imaging system. The experimental results confirm that this preprocessing method can fulfill the noise removal and edge sharpening simultaneously, which can play an important role in remote sensing field.展开更多

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has been proved to be successful for face recognition. However, it is still very rare to take LBP as an illumination preprocessing approach. In this paper, we propose a new LBP-based multi-scale illumination pre- processing method. This method mainly includes three aspects: threshold adjustment, multi-scale addition and symmetry restoration/neighborhood replacement. Our experiment results show that the proposed method performs better than the existing LBP-based methods at the point of illumination preprocessing. Moreover, compared with some face image preprocessing methods, such as histogram equalization, Gamma transformation, Retinex, and simplified LBP operator, our method can effectively improve the robustness for face recognition against illumination variation, and achieve higher recog- nition rate.展开更多

Preprocessing, which determines the representation of text features, is one of the key steps of text classification architecture. It proposed a novel efficient and effective preprocessing algorithm with three methods for text classification combining the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit algorithm to perform the classification. The main idea of the novel preprocessing strategy is that it combined stopword removal and/or regular filtering with tokenization and lowercase conversion, which can effectively reduce the feature dimension and improve the text feature matrix quality. Simulation tests on the 20 newsgroups dataset show that compared with the existing state-of-the-art method, the new method reduces the number of features by 19.85%, 34.35%, 26.25% and 38.67%, improves accuracy by 7.36%, 8.8%, 5.71% and 7.73%, and increases the speed of text classification by 17.38%, 25.64%, 23.76% and 33.38% on the four data, respectively.展开更多

文摘The recent proliferation of the 3D reflection seismic method into the near-surface area of geophysical applications, especially in response to the emergence of the need to comprehensively characterize and monitor near-surface carbon dioxide sequestration in shallow saline aquifers around the world, justifies the emphasis on cost-effective and robust quality control and assurance （QC/QA） workflow of 3D seismic data preprocessing that is suitable for near-surface applications. The main purpose of our seismic data preprocessing QC is to enable the use of appropriate header information, data that are free of noise-dominated traces, and/or flawed vertical stacking in subsequent processing steps. In this article, I provide an account of utilizing survey design specifications, noise properties, first breaks, and normal moveout for rapid and thorough graphical QC/QA diagnostics, which are easy to apply and efficient in the diagnosis of inconsistencies. A correlated vibroseis time-lapse 3D-seismic data set from a CO2-flood monitoring survey is used for demonstrating QC diagnostics. An important by-product of the QC workflow is establishing the number of layers for a refraction statics model in a data-driven graphical manner that capitalizes on the spatial coverage of the 3D seismic data.
文摘With the high-speed development of transportation industry,highway traffic safety has become a considerable problem.Meanwhile,with the development of embedded system and hardware chip,in recent years,human eye detection eye tracking and positioning technology have been more and more widely used in man-machine interaction,security access control and visual detection.In this paper,the high parallelism of FPGA was utilized to realize an elliptical approximate real-time human eye tracking system,which was achieved by the series register structure and random sample consensus(RANSAC),thus improving the speed of image processing without using external memory.Because eye images acquired by the camera often generate a lot of noises due to uneven light and dark background,the preprocessing technologies such as color conversion,image filtering,histogram modification and image sharpening were adopted.In terms of feature extraction of images,the eye tracking algorithm in this paper adopted seven-section rectangular eye tracking characteristic method,which increased a section between the mouth and the nose on the basis of the traditional six-section method,so its recognition accuracy is much higher.It is convenient for the realization of hardware parallel system in FPGA.Finally,aiming at the accuracy and real-time performance of the design system,a more comprehensive simulation test was carried out.The human eye tracking system was verified on DE2-115 multimedia development platform,and the performance of VGA(resolution:640×480)images of 8-bit grayscale was tested.The results showed that the detection speed of this system was about 47 frames per second under the condition that the detection rate of human face(front face,no inclination)was 93%,which reached the real-time detection level.Additionally,the accuracy of eye tracking based on FPGA system was more than 95%,and it has achieved ideal results in real-time performance and robustness.

文摘Due to the frequent changes of wind speed and wind direction,the accuracy of wind turbine(WT)power prediction using traditional data preprocessing method is low.This paper proposes a data preprocessing method which combines POT with DBSCAN(POT-DBSCAN)to improve the prediction efficiency of wind power prediction model.Firstly,according to the data of WT in the normal operation condition,the power prediction model ofWT is established based on the Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)Arithmetic which is combined with the BP Neural Network(PSO-BP).Secondly,the wind-power data obtained from the supervisory control and data acquisition(SCADA)system is preprocessed by the POT-DBSCAN method.Then,the power prediction of the preprocessed data is carried out by PSO-BP model.Finally,the necessity of preprocessing is verified by the indexes.This case analysis shows that the prediction result of POT-DBSCAN preprocessing is better than that of the Quartile method.Therefore,the accuracy of data and prediction model can be improved by using this method.

文摘The conventional poststack inversion uses standard recursion formulas to obtain impedance in a single trace.It cannot allow for lateral regularization.In this paper,ID edge-preserving smoothing(EPS)fi lter is extended to 2D/3D for setting precondition of impedance model in impedance inversion.The EPS filter incorporates a priori knowledge into the seismic inversion.The a priori knowledge incorporated from EPS filter preconditioning relates to the blocky features of the impedance model,which makes the formation interfaces and geological edges precise and keeps the inversion procedure robust.Then,the proposed method is performed on two 2D models to show its feasibility and stability.Last,the proposed method is performed on a real 3D seismic work area from Southwest China to predict reef reservoirs in practice.
文摘The Moon-based Ultraviolet Telescope （MUVT） is one of the payloads on the Chang＇e-3 （CE-3） lunar lander. Because of the advantages of having no at- mospheric disturbances and the slow rotation of the Moon, we can make long-term continuous observations of a series of important celestial objects in the near ultra- violet band （245-340 nm）, and perform a sky survey of selected areas, which can- not be completed on Earth. We can find characteristic changes in celestial brightness with time by analyzing image data from the MUVT, and deduce the radiation mech- anism and physical properties of these celestial objects after comparing with a phys- ical model. In order to explain the scientific purposes of MUVT, this article analyzes the preprocessing of MUVT image data and makes a preliminary evaluation of data quality. The results demonstrate that the methods used for data collection and prepro- cessing are effective, and the Level 2A and 2B image data satisfy the requirements of follow-up scientific researches.

文摘Quantum Machine Learning(QML)techniques have been recently attracting massive interest.However reported applications usually employ synthetic or well-known datasets.One of these techniques based on using a hybrid approach combining quantum and classic devices is the Variational Quantum Classifier(VQC),which development seems promising.Albeit being largely studied,VQC implementations for“real-world”datasets are still challenging on Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum devices(NISQ).In this paper we propose a preprocessing pipeline based on Stokes parameters for data mapping.This pipeline enhances the prediction rates when applying VQC techniques,improving the feasibility of solving classification problems using NISQ devices.By including feature selection techniques and geometrical transformations,enhanced quantum state preparation is achieved.Also,a representation based on the Stokes parameters in the PoincaréSphere is possible for visualizing the data.Our results show that by using the proposed techniques we improve the classification score for the incidence of acute comorbid diseases in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients.We used the implemented version of VQC available on IBM’s framework Qiskit,and obtained with two and three qubits an accuracy of 70%and 72%respectively.

文摘In order to achieve high quality images with time-delayed integration(TDI) charge-coupled device(CCD) imaging system, an improved adaptive preprocessing method is proposed with functions of both denoising and edge enhancement. It is a weighted average filter integrating the average filter and the improved range filter. The weighted factors are deduced in terms of a cost function, which are adjustable to different images. To validate the proposed method, extensive tests are carried out on a developed TDI CCD imaging system. The experimental results confirm that this preprocessing method can fulfill the noise removal and edge sharpening simultaneously, which can play an important role in remote sensing field.
文摘It is one of the major challenges for face recognition to minimize the disadvantage of il- lumination variations of face images in different scenarios. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has been proved to be successful for face recognition. However, it is still very rare to take LBP as an illumination preprocessing approach. In this paper, we propose a new LBP-based multi-scale illumination pre- processing method. This method mainly includes three aspects: threshold adjustment, multi-scale addition and symmetry restoration/neighborhood replacement. Our experiment results show that the proposed method performs better than the existing LBP-based methods at the point of illumination preprocessing. Moreover, compared with some face image preprocessing methods, such as histogram equalization, Gamma transformation, Retinex, and simplified LBP operator, our method can effectively improve the robustness for face recognition against illumination variation, and achieve higher recog- nition rate.
文摘Artificial intelligence(AI)relies on data and algorithms.State-of-the-art(SOTA)AI smart algorithms have been developed to improve the performance of AI-oriented structures.However,model-centric approaches are limited by the absence of high-quality data.Data-centric AI is an emerging approach for solving machine learning(ML)problems.It is a collection of various data manipulation techniques that allow ML practitioners to systematically improve the quality of the data used in an ML pipeline.However,data-centric AI approaches are not well documented.Researchers have conducted various experiments without a clear set of guidelines.This survey highlights six major data-centric AI aspects that researchers are already using to intentionally or unintentionally improve the quality of AI systems.These include big data quality assessment,data preprocessing,transfer learning,semi-supervised learning,machine learning operations(MLOps),and the effect of adding more data.In addition,it highlights recent data-centric techniques adopted by ML practitioners.We addressed how adding data might harm datasets and how HoloClean can be used to restore and clean them.Finally,we discuss the causes of technical debt in AI.Technical debt builds up when software design and implementation decisions run into“or outright collide with”business goals and timelines.This survey lays the groundwork for future data-centric AI discussions by summarizing various data-centric approaches.
文摘Text classification is an essential task of natural language processing. Preprocessing, which determines the representation of text features, is one of the key steps of text classification architecture. It proposed a novel efficient and effective preprocessing algorithm with three methods for text classification combining the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit algorithm to perform the classification. The main idea of the novel preprocessing strategy is that it combined stopword removal and/or regular filtering with tokenization and lowercase conversion, which can effectively reduce the feature dimension and improve the text feature matrix quality. Simulation tests on the 20 newsgroups dataset show that compared with the existing state-of-the-art method, the new method reduces the number of features by 19.85%, 34.35%, 26.25% and 38.67%, improves accuracy by 7.36%, 8.8%, 5.71% and 7.73%, and increases the speed of text classification by 17.38%, 25.64%, 23.76% and 33.38% on the four data, respectively.
