Determination of internal tide is important for theoretical study and for ocean engineering research. As an inverse problem, extraction of internal tidal currents from sea currents is difficult. In this paper, a method is developed to extract internal tidal currents from a portion of the sea current profile based on the fact that the directions of internal tidal currents above and below the thermocline are inverse. Sea current data collected from the South China Sea is processed with this method. The internal tidal currents and the depth of the thermocline are successfully extracted. The depth of the thermocline determined is in good agreement with that measured in 1959.展开更多

Interferograms are constructed from the ERS-1/2 SAR data by the three-pass method. The line-of-sight displacement map indicates that the deformation center of the earthquake is located at E114°20’, N40°57’, with the maximum uplift of 25 cm. The extent of the displacement is around 300 km2. The focal mechanism and earthquake-induced structures are analyzed based on the spatial distribution of the deformation. The results give new insights into the seismic mechanism study.展开更多

The surface seismic deformation was measured in the previous study using the 3 pass ERS-1/2 SAR differential inter-ferometric technology (D-INSAR). In this note the focal mechanism of Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake is estimated from the D-INSAR measurement of surface deformation based on a standard elastic dislocation model for seismic displacement. The inversion procedure is an iterative, linear least-squares algorithm. Through the relation between the focal parameters and displacement in the line of sight direc-tion measured in the radar interferogram, the optimum focal parameter set is derived. The results show that the seismic fault of Zhangbei-Shangyi earthquake is a thrust fault dip-ping SW with a large right-lateral displacement component. The strike and dip are 95°and 30°respectively on a fault patch of 12 km long by 14 km wide. Its hypocenter is located at N40°58’, E114°21’, and 7.5 km in depth.展开更多

A concept of overlap index is introduced in this model to consider the gaps and their correlation between the sun and view directions. Multiangular thermal emission data sets were measured in Shunyi, Beijing, and these data are used in model validation in this paper. By comparison with the Kimes model that does not consider the gap probability, and the model considering the gap in view direction only, it is found that our bidirectional gap probability model fits the field measurements over winter wheat much better.展开更多

This paper presents an augmented reality tool designed to assist unskilled or amateur players of such games. The system is based on a projector and a Kinect 2 sensor placed above the table, acquiring and processing the game on-the-fly. By using depth information and detecting the table's rails(borders),the balls' positions, the cue direction, and the strike of the ball, computations predict the resulting balls' trajectories after the shot is played. These results—trajectories, visual effects, and menus—are visually output by the projector, making them visible on the snooker table. The system achieves a shot prediction accuracy of 98% when no bouncing occurs.展开更多
