However, in real-world FR systems, interferences in images, including illumination condition, occlusion, facial expression and pose variation, make the recognition task challenging. This study explored the impact of those interferences on FR performance and attempted to alleviate it by taking face symmetry into account. A novel and robust FR method was proposed by combining multi-mirror symmetry with local binary pattern(LBP), namely multi-mirror local binary pattern(MMLBP). To enhance FR performance with various interferences, the MMLBP can 1) adaptively compensate lighting under heterogeneous lighting conditions, and 2) generate extracted image features that are much closer to those under well-controlled conditions(i.e., frontal facial images without expression). Therefore, in contrast with the later variations of LBP, the symmetrical singular value decomposition representation(SSVDR) algorithm utilizing the facial symmetry and a state-of-art non-LBP method, the MMLBP method is shown to successfully handle various image interferences that are common in FR applications without preprocessing operation and a large number of training images. The proposed method was validated with four public data sets. According to our analysis, the MMLBP method was demonstrated to achieve robust performance regardless of image interferences.展开更多

In quadrature intermediate frequency（IF） receivers, image aliasing due to in-phase and quadrature（I/Q） channel mismatches is always a big problem. I/Q mismatches occur because of gain and phase imbalances between quadrature mixers and capacitor mismatches in analog-to-digital converters（ADC）. As a result, the dynamic range and performance of a receiver are severely degraded. In this paper, several popular receiver architectures are summarized and the image aliasing problem is investigated in detail. Based on this analysis, a low-IF architecture is proposed for a single-chip solution and a novel and feasible anti-image algorithm is investigated. With this anti-image digital processing, the image reject ratio（IRR） can reach approximately above50 dB, which relaxes image rejection specific in front-end circuit designs and allows cheap and highly flexible analog front-end solutions. Simulation and experimental data show that the antiimage algorithm can work effectively, robustly, and steadily.展开更多

At 0.25 hours after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, diffusion-weighted MRI displayed a high signal; within 2 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient decreased markedly, aquaporin-4 expression increased rapidly, and intracellular edema was obviously aggravated; at 4 and 6 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient slowly returned to control levels, aquaporin-4 expression slightly increased, and angioedema was observed. In the RNA interference group, during 0.25- 6 hours after injection of siRNA- aquaporin-4 solution, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient slightly fluctuated and aquaporin-4 expression was upregulated; during 0.5 4 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient was significantly higher, while aquaporin-4 expression was significantly lower when compared with the control group, and intracellular edema was markedly reduced; at 0.25 and 6 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient and aquaporin-4 expression were similar when compared with the control group; obvious angioedema remained at 6 hours. Pearson＇s correlation test results showed that aquaporin-4 expression was negatively correlated with the apparent diffusion coefficient （r = -0.806, P 〈 0.01）. These findings suggest that upregulated aquaporin-4 expression is likely to be the main molecular mechanism of intracellular edema and may be the molecular basis for decreased relative apparent diffusion coefficient. Aquaporin-4 gene interference can effectively inhibit the upregulation of aquaporin-4 expression during the stage of intracelfular edema with time-effectiveness. Moreover, diffusion-weighted MRI can accurately detect intracellular edema.展开更多

The shielded room is effective to attenuate the external radio-frequency field and keep the extremely sensitive detector, SQUID, working properly. A high-performance shielded room can increase the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and improve image quality. In this study, a circular coil with a diameter of 50 cm and a square coil with a side length of 2.0 m was used to simulate the magnetic fields from the nearby electric apparatuses and the distant environmental noise sources. The shielding effectivenesses （SE） of the shielded room with different thicknesses of aluminum sheets were calculated and simulated. A room using 6-mm-thick aluminum plates with a dimension of 1.5 m x 1.5 m x 2.0 m was then constructed. The SE was experimentally measured by using three-axis SQUID magnetometers, with tranisent magnetic field induced in the aluminum plates by the strong pre-polarization pulses. The results of the measured SE agreed with that from the simulation. In addition, the introduction of a 0.5-mm gap caused the obvious reduction of SE indicating the importance of door design. The nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） signals of water at 5.9 kHz were measured in free space and in a shielded room, and the SNR was improved from 3 to 15. The simulation and experimental results will help us design an aluminum shielded room which satisfies the requirements for future ULF human brain imaging. Finally, the cancellation technique of the transient eddy current was tried, the simulation of the cancellation technique will lead us to finding an appropriate way to suppress the eddy current fields.展开更多

The samples were stretched until crazing initiated, and then craze propagation was monitored as a function of drawing speed and test temperature. The effect of craze dimension on their propagation velocity was taken into account. Three-dimensional birefringence profile for crazed polypropylene fibre has been demonstrated to investigate the birefringence of crazed fibre at different test times for fixed drawing speed value. Also the mean birefringence values of crazed polypropylene fibres were calculated and the results showed that, these values increased with the areal craze density. Video images were used to calculate the craze velocity. Optical micrographs and microinterferograms were presented for demonstrations.展开更多

文摘Face recognition(FR) is a practical application of pattern recognition(PR) and remains a compelling topic in the study of computer vision. However, in real-world FR systems, interferences in images, including illumination condition, occlusion, facial expression and pose variation, make the recognition task challenging. This study explored the impact of those interferences on FR performance and attempted to alleviate it by taking face symmetry into account. A novel and robust FR method was proposed by combining multi-mirror symmetry with local binary pattern(LBP), namely multi-mirror local binary pattern(MMLBP). To enhance FR performance with various interferences, the MMLBP can 1) adaptively compensate lighting under heterogeneous lighting conditions, and 2) generate extracted image features that are much closer to those under well-controlled conditions(i.e., frontal facial images without expression). Therefore, in contrast with the later variations of LBP, the symmetrical singular value decomposition representation(SSVDR) algorithm utilizing the facial symmetry and a state-of-art non-LBP method, the MMLBP method is shown to successfully handle various image interferences that are common in FR applications without preprocessing operation and a large number of training images. The proposed method was validated with four public data sets. According to our analysis, the MMLBP method was demonstrated to achieve robust performance regardless of image interferences.

文摘Since Global Navigation Satellite System（GNSS） signals span a wide range of frequency, wireless signals coming from other communication systems may be aliased and appear as image interference. In quadrature intermediate frequency（IF） receivers, image aliasing due to in-phase and quadrature（I/Q） channel mismatches is always a big problem. I/Q mismatches occur because of gain and phase imbalances between quadrature mixers and capacitor mismatches in analog-to-digital converters（ADC）. As a result, the dynamic range and performance of a receiver are severely degraded.

Based on this analysis, a low-IF architecture is proposed for a single-chip solution and a novel and feasible anti-image algorithm is investigated. With this anti-image digital processing, the image reject ratio（IRR） can reach approximately above50 dB, which relaxes image rejection specific in front-end circuit designs and allows cheap and highly flexible analog front-end solutions. Simulation and experimental data show that the antiimage algorithm can work effectively, robustly, and steadily.

文摘To investigate the effects of mRNA interference on aquaporin-4 expression in swollen tissue of rats with ischemic cerebral edema, and diagnose the significance of diffusion-weighted MRI, we injected 5 pL shRNA- aquaporin-4 （control group） or siRNA- aquaporin-4 solution （1：800） （RNA interference group） into the rat right basal ganglia immediately before occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. At 0.25 hours after occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, diffusion-weighted MRI displayed a high signal; within 2 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient decreased markedly, aquaporin-4 expression increased rapidly, and intracellular edema was obviously aggravated; at 4 and 6 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient slowly returned to control levels, aquaporin-4 expression slightly increased, and angioedema was observed. In the RNA interference group, during 0.25- 6 hours after injection of siRNA- aquaporin-4 solution, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient slightly fluctuated and aquaporin-4 expression was upregulated; during 0.5 4 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient was significantly higher, while aquaporin-4 expression was significantly lower when compared with the control group, and intracellular edema was markedly reduced; at 0.25 and 6 hours, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient and aquaporin-4 expression were similar when compared with the control group; obvious angioedema remained at 6 hours. Pearson＇s correlation test results showed that aquaporin-4 expression was negatively correlated with the apparent diffusion coefficient （r = -0.806, P 〈 0.01）. These findings suggest that upregulated aquaporin-4 expression is likely to be the main molecular mechanism of intracellular edema and may be the molecular basis for decreased relative apparent diffusion coefficient. Aquaporin-4 gene interference can effectively inhibit the upregulation of aquaporin-4 expression during the stage of intracelfular edema with time-effectiveness. Moreover, diffusion-weighted MRI can accurately detect intracellular edema.

文摘A near-field three-dimensional(3 D)imaging method combining multichannel joint sparse recovery(MJSR)and fast Gaussian gridding nonuniform fast Fourier transform(FGGNUFFT)is proposed,based on a perfect combination of the compressed sensing(CS)theory and the matched filtering(MF)technique.The approach has the advantages of high precision and high efficiency:multichannel joint sparse constraint is adopted to improve the problem that the images recovered by the single channel imaging algorithms do not necessarily share the same positions of the scattering centers;the CS dictionary is constructed by combining MF and FGG-NUFFT,so as to improve the imaging efficiency and memory requirement.Firstly,a near-field 3 D imaging model of joint sparse recovery is constructed by combining the MF-based imaging method.Secondly,FGG-NUFFT and reverse FGG-NUFFT are used to replace the interpolation and Fourier transform in MF-based imaging methods,and a sensing matrix with high precision and high efficiency is constructed according to the traditional imaging process.Thirdly,a fast imaging recovery is performed by using the improved separable surrogate functionals(SSF)optimization algorithm,only with matrix and vector multiplication.Finally,a 3 D imagery of the near-field target is obtained by using both the horizontal and the pitching interferometric phase information.This paper contains two imaging models,the only difference is the sub-aperture method used in inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR)imaging.Compared to traditional CS-based imaging methods,the proposed method includes both forward transform and inverse transform in each iteration,which improves the quality of reconstruction.The experimental results show that,the proposed method improves the imaging accuracy by about O(10),accelerates the imaging speed by five times and reduces the memory usage by about O(10~2).

文摘Owing to the unique feature that the signal and reference waves of self-interference digital holography(SIDH)contain the same spatial information from the same point of object,compared with conventional digital holography,the SIDH has the special spatial coherence properties.We present a statistical optics approach to analyzing the formation of cross-correlation image in SIDH.Our study reveals that the spatial coherence of illumination light can greatly influence the imaging characteristics of SIDH,and the impact extent of the spatial coherence depends substantially on the recording distance of hologram.The theoretical conclusions are supported well by numerical simulation and optical experiments.

文摘Radio frequency interference(RFI)will pollute the weak astronomical signals received by radio telescopes,which in return will seriously affect the time-domain astronomical observation and research.In this paper,we use a deep learning method to identify RFI in frequency spectrum data,and propose a neural network based on Unet that combines the principles of depthwise separable convolution and residual,named DSC Based Dual-Resunet.Compared with the existing Unet network,DSC Based Dual-Resunet performs better in terms of accuracy,F1 score,and MIoU,and is also better in terms of computation cost where the model size and parameter amount are 12.5%of Unet and the amount of computation is 38%of Unet.The experimental results show that the proposed network is a high-performance and lightweight network,and it is hopeful to be applied to RFI identification of radio telescopes on a large scale.

文摘The aluminum shielded room has been an important part of ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging （ULF MRI） based on the superconducting quantum interference device （SQUID）. The shielded room is effective to attenuate the external radio-frequency field and keep the extremely sensitive detector, SQUID, working properly. A high-performance shielded room can increase the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and improve image quality. In this study, a circular coil with a diameter of 50 cm and a square coil with a side length of 2.0 m was used to simulate the magnetic fields from the nearby electric apparatuses and the distant environmental noise sources. The shielding effectivenesses （SE） of the shielded room with different thicknesses of aluminum sheets were calculated and simulated. A room using 6-mm-thick aluminum plates with a dimension of 1.5 m x 1.5 m x 2.0 m was then constructed. The SE was experimentally measured by using three-axis SQUID magnetometers, with tranisent magnetic field induced in the aluminum plates by the strong pre-polarization pulses. The results of the measured SE agreed with that from the simulation. In addition, the introduction of a 0.5-mm gap caused the obvious reduction of SE indicating the importance of door design. The nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） signals of water at 5.9 kHz were measured in free space and in a shielded room, and the SNR was improved from 3 to 15. The simulation and experimental results will help us design an aluminum shielded room which satisfies the requirements for future ULF human brain imaging. Finally, the cancellation technique of the transient eddy current was tried, the simulation of the cancellation technique will lead us to finding an appropriate way to suppress the eddy current fields.
文摘The mechanism and characteristics of spectral polarization imaging technique are presented. The present research and developing trend of spectral polarization remote sensing are introduced. A novel method of spectral polarization imaging technique is discussed, which is based on static intensity modulation adding with double refraction crystal spectrometer. The static intensity modulation consists of two retarders and one polarizer. The double refraction crystal is used to generate interference image. The spectral and four Stokes vectors information can be obtained only by one measurement. The method of static intensity modulation is deduced in detail and is simulated by computer. The spectropolarimeter experimental system is also established in the laboratory. The basic concept of the technique is verified.

文摘Identification of motor and sensory nerves is important in applications such as nerve injury repair.Conventional practice relies on time consuming staining methods for this purpose.Here,we use laser scanning infrared diferential interference contrast(IR-DIC)microscopy for label-free observation of the two types of nerve.Ventral and dorsal nerve roots of adult beagle dogs were collected and sections of different thicknesses were imaged with an IR-DIC microscope.Different texture patterns of the IR-DIC images of the motor and sensory nerve can be distinguished when the section thickness increases to 40 pm.This suggests that nerve fibers in motor and sensory nerves have different distribution patterns.The result hints a potential new way for more rapid identification of nerve type in peripheral nerve repair surgery.
文摘Pluta polarizing interference microscope was used to follow the crazing that occur on the surface of stretched polypropylene fibres at different drawing conditions. The samples were stretched until crazing initiated, and then craze propagation was monitored as a function of drawing speed and test temperature. The effect of craze dimension on their propagation velocity was taken into account. Three-dimensional birefringence profile for crazed polypropylene fibre has been demonstrated to investigate the birefringence of crazed fibre at different test times for fixed drawing speed value. Also the mean birefringence values of crazed polypropylene fibres were calculated and the results showed that, these values increased with the areal craze density. Video images were used to calculate the craze velocity. Optical micrographs and microinterferograms were presented for demonstrations.
