This algorithm is used to deal with issues like the large computational complexity, the fluctuation of grayscale, and the noise in infrared images. Four characteristic points were selected by analyzing the grayscale distribution in infrared image, of which the series was quickly matched with an affine transformation model. The image was then divided into 32×32 squares and the gray-weighted kernel(GWK) for each square was calculated. At last, the MTD was carried out according to the variation of the four GWKs. The results indicate that the MTD can be achieved in real time using the algorithm with the fluctuations of grayscale and noise can be effectively suppressed. The detection probability is greater than 90% with the false alarm rate lower than 5% when the calculation time is less than 40 ms.展开更多

摘要The Qingtongxia Irrigation District in Ningxia is an important hydrological and ecological region.To assess its ecological environment quality from 2001 to 2021 across multiple scales and identify driving factors,a modified remote sensing ecological index(MRSEI)was developed by incorporating evapotranspiration.Spatial and temporal patterns were analyzed using the coefficient of variation,spatial autocorrelation,and semi-variogram methods,while influencing factors were explored via the optimal parameter geographical detector model.The MRSEI’s first principal component loadings and rankings aligned with those of RSEI(average contribution:81.31%),effectively reflecting spatiotemporal variations.At sub-irrigation district and landscape scales,ecological quality was slightly lower than at the district level but remained stable.Moderate and good ecological grades accounted for 36.28%and 33.38%of the area,respectively,at the district scale,and the moderate grade reached 70.48%on smaller scales.Spatial heterogeneity intensified with decreasing scale,and human activity lost explanatory power below a 5 km range.Human factors mainly drove ecological differentiation at the district scale,while natural factors dominated at finer scales.The MRSEI offers a novel tool for ecological assessment in arid/semi-arid areas and supports scale-adapted ecological protection strategies.

摘要The spatial structures of China’s Major Function Zoning are important constraining indicators in all types of spatial planning and key parameters for accurately downscaling major functions.Taking the proportion of urbanization zones,agricultural development zones and ecological security zones as the basic parameter,this paper explores the spatial structures of major function zoning at different scales using spatial statistics,spatial modeling and landscape metrics methods.The results show:First,major function zones have spatial gradient structures,which are prominently represented by latitudinal and longitudinal gradients,a coastal distance gradient,and an eastern-central-western gradient.Second,the pole-axis system structure and core-periphery structure exist at provincial scales.The general principle of the pole-axis structure is that as one moves along the distance axis,the proportion of urbanization zones decreases and the proportion of ecological security zones increases.This also means that the proportion of different function zones has a ring-shaped spatial differentiation principle with distance from the core.Third,there is a spatial mosaic structure at the city and county scale.This spatial mosaic structure has features of both spatial heterogeneity,such as agglomeration and dispersion,as well as of mutual,adjacent topological correlation and spatial proximity.The results of this study contribute to scientific knowledge on major function zones and the principles of spatial organization,and it acts as an important reference for China’s integrated geographical zoning.

摘要The numerical simulation of the fluid flow and the flexible rod(s)interaction is more complicated and has lower efficiency due to the high computational cost.In this paper,a semi-resolved model coupling the computational fluid dynamics and the flexible rod dynamics is proposed using a two-way domain expansion method.The gov-erning equations of the flexible rod dynamics are discretized and solved by the finite element method,and the fluid flow is simulated by the finite volume method.The interaction between fluids and solid rods is modeled by introducing body force terms into the momentum equations.Referred to the traditional semi-resolved numerical model,an anisotropic Gaussian kernel function method is proposed to specify the interactive forces between flu-ids and solid bodies for non-circle rod cross-sections.A benchmark of the flow passing around a single flexible plate with a rectangular cross-section is used to validate the algorithm.Focused on the engineering applications,a test case of a finite patch of cylinders is implemented to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the coupled model.

摘要Segmentation of the retinal vessels in the fundus is crucial for diagnosing ocular diseases.Retinal vessel images often suffer from category imbalance and large scale variations.This ultimately results in incomplete vessel segmentation and poor continuity.In this study,we propose CT-MFENet to address the aforementioned issues.First,the use of context transformer(CT)allows for the integration of contextual feature information,which helps establish the connection between pixels and solve the problem of incomplete vessel continuity.Second,multi-scale dense residual networks are used instead of traditional CNN to address the issue of inadequate local feature extraction when the model encounters vessels at multiple scales.In the decoding stage,we introduce a local-global fusion module.It enhances the localization of vascular information and reduces the semantic gap between high-and low-level features.To address the class imbalance in retinal images,we propose a hybrid loss function that enhances the segmentation ability of the model for topological structures.We conducted experiments on the publicly available DRIVE,CHASEDB1,STARE,and IOSTAR datasets.The experimental results show that our CT-MFENet performs better than most existing methods,including the baseline U-Net.

摘要A support vector machine (SVM) with quadratic polynomial kernel function based nonlinear model one-step-ahead predictive controller is presented. The SVM based predictive model is established with black-box identification method. By solving a cubic equation in the feature space, an explicit predictive control law is obtained through the predictive control mechanism. The effect of controller is demonstrated on a recognized benchmark problem and on the control of continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Simulation results show that SVM with quadratic polynomial kernel function based predictive controller can be well applied to nonlinear systems, with good performance in following reference trajectory as well as in disturbance-rejection.

摘要In this study,a multi-physics and multi-scale coupling program,Fluent/KMC-sub/NDK,was developed based on the user-defined functions(UDF)of Fluent,in which the KMC-sub-code is a sub-channel thermal-hydraulic code and the NDK code is a neutron diffusion code.The coupling program framework adopts the"master-slave"mode,in which Fluent is the master program while NDK and KMC-sub are coupled internally and compiled into the dynamic link library(DLL)as slave codes.The domain decomposition method was adopted,in which the reactor core was simulated by NDK and KMC-sub,while the rest of the primary loop was simulated using Fluent.A simulation of the reactor shutdown process of M2LFR-1000 was carried out using the coupling program,and the code-to-code verification was performed with ATHLET,demonstrating a good agreement,with absolute deviation was smaller than 0.2%.The results show an obvious thermal stratification phenomenon during the shutdown process,which occurs 10 s after shutdown,and the change in thermal stratification phenomena is also captured by the coupling program.At the same time,the change in the neutron flux density distribution of the reactor was also obtained.

摘要Landslide probability prediction plays an important role in understanding landslide information in advance and taking preventive measures.Many factors can influence the occurrence of landslides,which is easy to have a curse of dimensionality and thus lead to reduce prediction accuracy.Then the generalization ability of the model will also decline sharply when there are only small samples.To reduce the dimension of calculation and balance the model’s generalization and learning ability,this study proposed a landslide prediction method based on improved principal component analysis(PCA)and mixed kernel function least squares support vector regression(LSSVR)model.First,the traditional PCA was introduced with the idea of linear discrimination,and the dimensions of initial influencing factors were reduced from 8 to 3.The improved PCA can not only weight variables but also extract the original feature.Furthermore,combined with global and local kernel function,the mixed kernel function LSSVR model was framed to improve the generalization ability.Whale optimization algorithm(WOA)was used to optimize the parameters.Moreover,Root Mean Square Error(RMSE),the sum of squared errors(SSE),Mean Absolute Error(MAE),Mean Absolute Precentage Error(MAPE),and reliability were employed to verify the performance of the model.Compared with radial basis function(RBF)LSSVR model,Elman neural network model,and fuzzy decision model,the proposed method has a smaller deviation.Finally,the landslide warning level obtained from the landslide probability can also provide references for relevant decision-making departments in emergency response.

摘要Aiming at the difficulty of fault identification caused by manual extraction of fault features of rotating machinery,a one-dimensional multi-scale convolutional auto-encoder fault diagnosis model is proposed,based on the standard convolutional auto-encoder.In this model,the parallel convolutional and deconvolutional kernels of different scales are used to extract the features from the input signal and reconstruct the input signal;then the feature map extracted by multi-scale convolutional kernels is used as the input of the classifier;and finally the parameters of the whole model are fine-tuned using labeled data.Experiments on one set of simulation fault data and two sets of rolling bearing fault data are conducted to validate the proposed method.The results show that the model can achieve 99.75%,99.3%and 100%diagnostic accuracy,respectively.In addition,the diagnostic accuracy and reconstruction error of the one-dimensional multi-scale convolutional auto-encoder are compared with traditional machine learning,convolutional neural networks and a traditional convolutional auto-encoder.The final results show that the proposed model has a better recognition effect for rolling bearing fault data.

摘要A fast algorithm based on the grayscale distribution of infrared target and the weighted kernel function was proposed for the moving target detection(MTD) in dynamic scene of image series. This algorithm is used to deal with issues like the large computational complexity, the fluctuation of grayscale, and the noise in infrared images. Four characteristic points were selected by analyzing the grayscale distribution in infrared image, of which the series was quickly matched with an affine transformation model. The image was then divided into 32×32 squares and the gray-weighted kernel(GWK) for each square was calculated. At last, the MTD was carried out according to the variation of the four GWKs. The results indicate that the MTD can be achieved in real time using the algorithm with the fluctuations of grayscale and noise can be effectively suppressed. The detection probability is greater than 90% with the false alarm rate lower than 5% when the calculation time is less than 40 ms.

摘要In this paper,we propose and analyze a full-Newton step feasible interior-point algorithm for semidefinite optimization based on a kernel function with linear growth term.The kernel function is used both for determining the search directions and for measuring the distance between the given iterate and theμ-center for the algorithm.By developing a new norm-based proximity measure and some technical results,we derive the iteration bound that coincides with the currently best known iteration bound for the algorithm with small-update method.In our knowledge,this result is the first instance of full-Newton step feasible interior-point method for SDO which involving the kernel function.

摘要A kernel-type estimator of the quantile function Q(p) = inf{t:F(t) ≥ p}, 0 ≤ p ≤ 1, is proposed based on the kernel smoother when the data are subjected to random truncation. The Bahadur-type representations of the kernel smooth estimator are established, and from Bahadur representations the authors can show that this estimator is strongly consistent, asymptotically normal, and weakly convergent.

摘要The relationships between soil total nitrogen(STN)and influencing factors are scale-dependent.The objective of this study was to identify the multi-scale spatial relationships of STN with selected environmental factors(elevation,slope and topographic wetness index),intrinsic soil factors(soil bulk density,sand content,silt content,and clay content)and combined environmental factors(including the first two principal components(PC1 and PC2)of the Vis-NIR soil spectra)along three sampling transects located at the upstream,midstream and downstream of Taiyuan Basin on the Chinese Loess Plateau.We separated the multivariate data series of STN and influencing factors at each transect into six intrinsic mode functions(IMFs)and one residue by multivariate empirical mode decomposition(MEMD).Meanwhile,we obtained the predicted equations of STN based on MEMD by stepwise multiple linear regression(SMLR).The results indicated that the dominant scales of explained variance in STN were at scale 995 m for transect 1,at scales 956 and 8852 m for transect 2,and at scales 972,5716 and 12,317 m for transect 3.Multi-scale correlation coefficients between STN and influencing factors were less significant in transect 3 than in transects 1 and 2.The goodness of fit root mean square error(RMSE),normalized root mean square error(NRMSE),and coefficient of determination(R2)indicated that the prediction of STN at the sampling scale by summing all of the predicted IMFs and residue was more accurate than that by SMLR directly.Therefore,the multi-scale method of MEMD has a good potential in characterizing the multi-scale spatial relationships between STN and influencing factors at the basin landscape scale.
