First, geometric plane patterns in rectangular/circular form were demonstrated in contrast to gradual change style in color and graphic configuration. Next, selected artistic/graphic sample patterns were implemented in logo conceptual design and visual innovation storming. The way in editing the above original figures is 2D symmetry, rectangular array geometrically, and converting them in inverse color in software like PS. The objective of this work is to cultivate, explore and discipline trainees' visual ability in artistic/aesthetic appreciation, graphic communication and industrial design and application, thus laying ties closely among comprehensive university students from different majors on science, engineering, arts and humanity.展开更多

The graphical game results from to make all the agents synchronize to the state of a command multi-agent dynamical systems, where pinning control is used generator or a leader agent. Novel coupled Bellman equations and Hamiltonian functions are developed for the dynamic graphical games. The Hamiltonian mechanics are used to derive the necessary conditions for optimality. The solution for the dynamic graphical game is given in terms of the solution to a set of coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations developed herein. Nash equilibrium solution for the graphical game is given in terms of the solution to the underlying coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. An online model-free policy iteration algorithm is developed to learn the Nash solution for the dynamic graphical game. This algorithm does not require any knowledge of the agents' dynamics. A proof of convergence for this multi-agent learning algorithm is given under mild assumption about the inter-connectivity properties of the graph. A gradient descent technique with critic network structures is used to implement the policy iteration algorithm to solve the graphical game online in real-time.展开更多

The b...Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems in microchannels play a prominent role in many engineering applications. The present study is an effort toward the simulation of flow in microchannel considering FSI. The bottom boundary of the microchannel is simulated by size-dependent beam elements for the finite element method (FEM) based on a modified cou- ple stress theory. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) using the D2Q13 LB model is coupled to the FEM in order to solve the fluid part of the FSI problem. Because of the fact that the LBM generally needs only nearest neighbor information, the algorithm is an ideal candidate for parallel computing. The simulations are carried out on graphics processing units (GPUs) using computed unified device architecture (CUDA). In the present study, the governing equations are non-dimensionalized and the set of dimensionless groups is exhibited to show their effects on micro-beam displacement. The numerical results show that the displacements of the micro-beam predicted by the size-dependent beam element are smaller than those by the classical beam element.展开更多

摘要The newly emerging neural radiance fields(NeRF)methods can implicitly fulfill three-dimensional(3D)reconstruction via training a neural network to render novel-view images of a given scene with given posed images.The Instant Neural Graphics Primitives(Instant-NGP)method further improves the position encoding of NeRF.It obtains state-of-the-art efficiency.However,only a local pixel-wised loss is considered when training the Instant-NGP while overlooking the nonlocal structural information between pixels.Despite a good quantitative result,it leads to a poor visual effect,especially the completeness.Inspired by the stochastic structural similarity(S3IM)method that exploits nonlocal structural information of groups of pixels,this paper proposes a new method to improve the completeness of fast novel view synthesis.The proposed method first extends the thread-wised processing of the Instant-NGP to the processing in a customthread block(i.e.,a group of threads).Then,the relative dimensionless global error in synthesis,i.e.,Erreur Relative Globale Adimensionnelle de Synthese(ERGAS),of a group of pixels corresponding to a group of threads is computed and incorporated into the loss function.Extensive experiments validate the proposed method.It can obtain better quantitative results than the original Instant-NGP with fewer iteration steps.PSNR is increased by 1%.Amazing qualitative results are obtained,especially for delicate structures and details such as lines and continuous structures.With the dramatic improvements in the visual effects,our method can boost the practicability of implicit 3D reconstruction in applications such as self-driving and augmented reality.

摘要In the context of the deep integration of digitalization and innovation and entrepreneurship education,this study focuses on the characteristics of schools and courses,investigates students’expectations and needs for ideological and political elements,and deeply explores ideological and political cases such as the Beidahuang spirit,Daqing spirit,model worker spirit,and role models around them.It explores the integration practice of“curriculum ideological and political”in extracurricular tutoring teaching of engineering graphics,aiming to guide students to establish patriotism,love for schools,knowledge of agriculture,and love for agriculture,and effectively enhance the coordinated development of students’graphic skills and ideological and political literacy.Practice has shown that integrating ideological and political resources,incorporating ideological and political elements into curriculum content and practical activities,can effectively enhance the collaborative development of students’graphic skills and ideological and political literacy.At the same time,it provides new ideas and references for expanding ideological and political education to extracurricular tutoring courses.
摘要The gravity gradient is a secondary derivative of gravity potential,containing more high-frequency information of Earth’s gravity field.Gravity gradient observation data require deducting its prior and intrinsic parts to obtain more variational information.A model generated from a topographic surface database is more appropriate to represent gradiometric effects derived from near-surface mass,as other kinds of data can hardly reach the spatial resolution requirement.The rectangle prism method,namely an analytic integration of Newtonian potential integrals,is a reliable and commonly used approach to modeling gravity gradient,whereas its computing efficiency is extremely low.A modified rectangle prism method and a graphical processing unit(GPU)parallel algorithm were proposed to speed up the modeling process.The modified method avoided massive redundant computations by deforming formulas according to the symmetries of prisms’integral regions,and the proposed algorithm parallelized this method’s computing process.The parallel algorithm was compared with a conventional serial algorithm using 100 elevation data in two topographic areas(rough and moderate terrain).Modeling differences between the two algorithms were less than 0.1 E,which is attributed to precision differences between single-precision and double-precision float numbers.The parallel algorithm showed computational efficiency approximately 200 times higher than the serial algorithm in experiments,demonstrating its effective speeding up in the modeling process.Further analysis indicates that both the modified method and computational parallelism through GPU contributed to the proposed algorithm’s performances in experiments.
摘要The presenting work deals with implementation of sample graphic patterns derived from published scientificechnologic documentation figures on numeric simulation of multiphase flow and FEM analysis of thin walled mechanical structures. First, geometric plane patterns in rectangular/circular form were demonstrated in contrast to gradual change style in color and graphic configuration. Next, selected artistic/graphic sample patterns were implemented in logo conceptual design and visual innovation storming. The way in editing the above original figures is 2D symmetry, rectangular array geometrically, and converting them in inverse color in software like PS. The objective of this work is to cultivate, explore and discipline trainees' visual ability in artistic/aesthetic appreciation, graphic communication and industrial design and application, thus laying ties closely among comprehensive university students from different majors on science, engineering, arts and humanity.

摘要A single random phase encoding is introduced into ptychography for the first time.Since the diffractive wave front is encoded with the random phase modulator,the information of the sample cooperated with each probe can be uniformly distributed onto an entire diffraction pattern.It leads to the much faster convergent speed of the iterative algorithm for ptychographical imaging.It is more important for practice that the robustness to resist the noises and especially the transverse shift errors of probes are considerably improved compared with the conventional ptychographic algorithm.

摘要Currently,some photorealistic computer graphics are very similar to photographic images.Photorealistic computer generated graphics can be forged as photographic images,causing serious security problems.The aim of this work is to use a deep neural network to detect photographic images(PI)versus computer generated graphics(CG).In existing approaches,image feature classification is computationally intensive and fails to achieve realtime analysis.This paper presents an effective approach to automatically identify PI and CG based on deep convolutional neural networks(DCNNs).Compared with some existing methods,the proposed method achieves real-time forensic tasks by deepening the network structure.Experimental results show that this approach can effectively identify PI and CG with average detection accuracy of 98%.

摘要This paper introduces a model-free reinforcement learning technique that is used to solve a class of dynamic games known as dynamic graphical games. The graphical game results from to make all the agents synchronize to the state of a command multi-agent dynamical systems, where pinning control is used generator or a leader agent. Novel coupled Bellman equations and Hamiltonian functions are developed for the dynamic graphical games. The Hamiltonian mechanics are used to derive the necessary conditions for optimality. The solution for the dynamic graphical game is given in terms of the solution to a set of coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations developed herein. Nash equilibrium solution for the graphical game is given in terms of the solution to the underlying coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. An online model-free policy iteration algorithm is developed to learn the Nash solution for the dynamic graphical game. This algorithm does not require any knowledge of the agents' dynamics. A proof of convergence for this multi-agent learning algorithm is given under mild assumption about the inter-connectivity properties of the graph. A gradient descent technique with critic network structures is used to implement the policy iteration algorithm to solve the graphical game online in real-time.

摘要In this study,insights into the effect of interfacial anisotropy on a complex hexagonal close-packed(hcp) dendritic growth during alloy solidification were gained by graphics processing unit(GPU)-accelerated three-dimensional(3D) phase-field simulations,as demonstrated for a Mg-Gd alloy.An anisotropic phasefield model with finite interface dissipation was developed by incorporating the contribution of the anisotropy of interfacial energy into the total free energy functional.The modified spherical harmonic anisotropy function was then chosen for the hcp crystal.The GPU parallel computing algorithm was implemented in the present phase-field model,and a corresponding code was developed in the compute unified device architecture parallel computing platform.Benchmark tests indicated that the calculation efficiency of a single TESLA V100 GPU could be~80times that of open multi-processing(OpenMP) with eight central processing unit cores.By coupling the phase-field model with reliable thermodynamic and interfacial energy descriptions,the 3D phase-field simulation of α-Mg dendritic growth in the Mg-6Gd(in wt%) alloy during solidification was performed.Various two-dimensional dendrite morphologies were revealed by cutting the simulated 3D dendrite along different crystallographic planes.Typical sixfold equiaxed and butterflied microstructures observed in experiments were well reproduced.
摘要Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems in microchannels play a prominent role in many engineering applications. The present study is an effort toward the simulation of flow in microchannel considering FSI. The bottom boundary of the microchannel is simulated by size-dependent beam elements for the finite element method (FEM) based on a modified cou- ple stress theory. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) using the D2Q13 LB model is coupled to the FEM in order to solve the fluid part of the FSI problem. Because of the fact that the LBM generally needs only nearest neighbor information, the algorithm is an ideal candidate for parallel computing. The simulations are carried out on graphics processing units (GPUs) using computed unified device architecture (CUDA). In the present study, the governing equations are non-dimensionalized and the set of dimensionless groups is exhibited to show their effects on micro-beam displacement. The numerical results show that the displacements of the micro-beam predicted by the size-dependent beam element are smaller than those by the classical beam element.
