The counts of full energy peak change with energy, and this approximately complies with the Gaussian distribution. This study mainly examines a method to deconvolve the LaBr_3:Ce gamma spectrum with a detector response matrix constructing algorithm based on energy resolution calibration.In the algorithm, the full width at half maximum(FWHM)of full energy peak was calculated by the cubic spline interpolation algorithm and calibrated by a square root of a quadratic function that changes with the energy. Additionally, the detector response matrix was constructed to deconvolve the gamma spectrum. Furthermore, an improved SNIP algorithm was proposed to eliminate the background. In the experiment, several independent peaks of 152Eu,137Cs, and 60Co sources were detected by a LaBr_3:Ce scintillator that were selected to calibrate the energy resolution. The Boosted Gold algorithm was applied to deconvolve the gamma spectrum. The results showed that the peak position difference between the experiment and the deconvolution was within ± 2 channels and the relative error of peak area was approximately within 0.96–6.74%. Finally, a 133 Ba spectrum was deconvolved to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithm in unfolding the overlapped peaks.展开更多

Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras' parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion (DLT), GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.展开更多

Due to the old pipe age as well as deleting valves and blends in the skeleton of distribution network, most of the pipes in hydraulic model of practical water distribution system (WDS) are rough. The commonly used Hazen-Williams C-factor is therefore replaced by Manning n-factor in calibrating WDS hydraulic model. Adjustment to GA is designed, and the program efficiency is improved. A case study shows that the adjustment can save 60% of the total runtime. About 90% of the relative differences between simulated and observed pressures at monitoring locations are lower than 3%, which suggests that the proposed adjustment to the calibration is efficient and effective.展开更多

First, from the point of view of the trajectory simulation, a general summary of well-known trajectory models is given. A five degrees of freedom (5 DOF) model is developed that can match the projectile motion essentially in the vertex region, and the results obtained by 5 DOF model are in close agreement with those of a more sophisticated 6 DOF model for elevation angles above 45 degrees. Secondly, the calibration algorithms have been developed and are summarized. The methods of calibrating the flight trajectory models are compared, and these methods are shown to be effective in the representative cases. In addition, the method of Math number calibration (MNC) is presented; some possible areas in MNC for further investigation are indicated together with benefits to be gained. The utilization of MNC schemes not only allow a worthwhile reduction of calibration rounds firing in range and accuracy (R&A) trial and production of firing tables (PFT) test, but also make PFT and fire control data (FCD) more cost effective.展开更多

Our approach introduces an extension of Mendonca-Cipolla and G. Chesi's self-calibration for the positionbased visual servo technique which exploits the singular value property of the essential matrix. Specifically, a suitable dynamic online cost function is generated according to the property of the three singular values. The visual servo process is carried out simultaneous to the dynamic self-calibration, and then the cost function is minimized using the adaptive genetic algorithm instead of the gradient descent method in G. Chesi's approach. Moreover, this method overcomes the limitation that the initial parameters must be selected close to the true value, which is not constant in many cases. It is not necessary to know exactly the camera intrinsic parameters when using our approach, instead, coarse coding bounds of the five parameters are enough for the algorithm, which can be done once and for all off-line. Besides, this algorithm does not require knowledge of the 3D model of the object. Simulation experiments are carried out and the results demonstrate that the proposed approach provides a fast convergence speed and robustness against unpredictable perturbations of camera parameters, and it is an effective and efficient visual servo algorithm.展开更多

Unlike many existing counterparts, our method requires neither calibration sources nor initial calibration information. At the same time,our proposed method inherits the characteristics of good convergence and high estimation precision of the SAGE algorithm. By numerical experiments we demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the existing method for DOA estimation and mutual coupling calibration.展开更多

With the aid of the genetic algorithm (GA) that has the powerful global adaptive probabilistic search ability, 24 parameters of the robot are identified through simulation, which makes the pose (position and orientation) accuracy of the robot a great improvement. In the process of the calibration, stochastic measurement noises are considered. Lastly, generalization of the identified kinematic parameters in the whole workspace of the robot is discussed. The simulation results show that calibrating the robot with GA is very stable and not sensitive to measurement noise. Moreover, even if the robot's kinematic parameters are relative, GA still has strong search ability to find the optimum solution.展开更多

This algorithm can optimize the camera model by dynamic balancing its model weight and multi-parametric distributions to the required accuracy. A novel measuring instrument of space manipulator is designed to orbital simulative motion and locational accuracy test. The camera system of space manipulator, calibrated by MOGA algorithm, is used to locational accuracy test in this measuring instrument. The experimental result shows that the absolute errors are [0.07, 1.75] mm for MOGA calibrating model, [2.88, 5.95] mm for MN method, and [1.19, 4.83] mm for LM method. Besides, the composite errors both of LM method and MN method are approximately seven times higher that of MOGA calibrating model. It is suggested that the MOGA calibrating model is superior both to LM method and MN method.展开更多

Since the calibration target and its mirror image are spatially separated and can be recorded in an image by a camera,the proposed method requires only a single composite image that contains a non-planar checkerboard pattern,a laser strip projected on the target and their mirror images to complete the calibration of the camera and the laser plane in one step. Levenberg-Marquardt(LM)algorithm is used to optimize the system parameters,and the measurement accuracy and speed are improved to enable online 3D inspection. Static and dynamic online 3D measurements are carried out on a cup and a triple stepped shaft,respectively,to validate the proposed method. The shaft has two steps with the depth of(0.5±0.01)mm and(2±0.01)mm to be measured online when the shaft is rotated and translated at the same time. The measurement results can be output at a frequency of 7 to 11 readings per second with standard deviations of 0.040 mm and 0.051 mm. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method.展开更多

摘要The kinematic error model of a 6-DOF space robot is deduced, and the cost function of kinematic parameter identification is built. With the aid of the genetic algorithm (GA) that has the powerful global adaptive probabilistic search ability, 24 parameters of the robot are identified through simulation, which makes the pose (position and orientation) accuracy of the robot a great improvement. In the process of the calibration, stochastic measurement noises are considered. Lastly, generalization of the identified kinematic parameters in the whole workspace of the robot is discussed. The simulation results show that calibrating the robot with GA is very stable and not sensitive to measurement noise. Moreover, even if the robot's kinematic parameters are relative, GA still has strong search ability to find the optimum solution.

摘要To address the installation challenges of a 2-m ring Gregorian telescope system,and similar optical systems with a small width-to-radius ratio,we propose a detection method combining local interferometry with a comparison model.This method enhances the precision of system calibration by establishing a dataset that delineates the relationship between secondary mirror misalignment and wavefront aberration,subsequently inferring the misalignment from interferometric detection results during the calibration process.For the 2-m ring telescope,we develop a detection model using five local sub-apertures,enabling a root-mean-square detection accuracy of 0:0225λ(λ=632:8 nm)for full-aperture wavefront aberration.The calibration results for the 2-m Ring Solar Telescope system indicate that the root-mean-square value of sub-aperture wavefront aberration reaches 0.104λ,and the root-mean-square value of spliced full-aperture measurement yields reaches 0.112λ.This method offers a novel approach for calibrating small width-toradius ratio telescope systems and can be applied to the calibration of other irregular-aperture optical systems.
摘要In order to reduce the fluctuation of LIBS detection spectrum of liquid sample,the full-spectrum sum method and the internal standardization method is adopted,using an equal-RSD normalization algorithm to calibrate the detection spectrum.Experiment result shows that the full-spectrum sum method reduced the RSD of parallel samples of Cd and Cr to 9.4% and 11.06% from 28.32% and 31.93% respectively,yielded better overall calibration than the singleelement internal standardization approach,thereby suggesting that the former method is convenient and effective for online calibration of LIBS for detection of aqueous heavy metals.
摘要This paper deals with the scanner exterior calibration algorithm when the scanner is arranged by the robot and the object scanned is fixed on a rotate device in the Robot Remanufacturing System. The method of calibrating the relationship between the scanner coordinate and the robot Tool0, such as the rotation, Rx, Ry, Rz, and the transformation ,Y, Z is studied. The data of Tool0 can be directly obtained from the relationship with the robot base-coordinate. So, the coordinate relationship between the scanner coordinate and the robot base coordinate can be easily gotten. This paper explains the basic algorithm theory, computing method, data collecting process and the resulted data in detail. The calibration algorithm is deduced under the orthogonal coordinate.

摘要Despite the maturity of ensemble numerical weather prediction(NWP),the resulting forecasts are still,more often than not,under-dispersed.As such,forecast calibration tools have become popular.Among those tools,quantile regression(QR)is highly competitive in terms of both flexibility and predictive performance.Nevertheless,a long-standing problem of QR is quantile crossing,which greatly limits the interpretability of QR-calibrated forecasts.On this point,this study proposes a non-crossing quantile regression neural network(NCQRNN),for calibrating ensemble NWP forecasts into a set of reliable quantile forecasts without crossing.The overarching design principle of NCQRNN is to add on top of the conventional QRNN structure another hidden layer,which imposes a non-decreasing mapping between the combined output from nodes of the last hidden layer to the nodes of the output layer,through a triangular weight matrix with positive entries.The empirical part of the work considers a solar irradiance case study,in which four years of ensemble irradiance forecasts at seven locations,issued by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts,are calibrated via NCQRNN,as well as via an eclectic mix of benchmarking models,ranging from the naïve climatology to the state-of-the-art deep-learning and other non-crossing models.Formal and stringent forecast verification suggests that the forecasts post-processed via NCQRNN attain the maximum sharpness subject to calibration,amongst all competitors.Furthermore,the proposed conception to resolve quantile crossing is remarkably simple yet general,and thus has broad applicability as it can be integrated with many shallow-and deep-learning-based neural networks.

摘要The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)against various diseases urges more low cost,speed and sensitive analytical methods for investigating the phamacology of TCM and providing a theoretical basis for clinical use.The potential of second-order calibration method was validated for the quantification of two effective ingredients of Schisandra chinensis in human plasma using spectrofluorimetry.The results obtained in the present study demonstrate the advantages of this strategy for multi-target determination in complex matrices.Although the spectra of the analytes are similar and a large number of interferences also exist,second-order calibration method could predict the accurate concentrations together with reasonable resolution of spectral profiles for analytes of interest owing to its‘second-order advantage’.Moreover,the method presented in this work allows one to simply experimental procedure as well as reduces the use of harmful chemical solvents.

摘要The multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA) is proposed to calibrate the non-linear camera model of a space manipulator to improve its locational accuracy. This algorithm can optimize the camera model by dynamic balancing its model weight and multi-parametric distributions to the required accuracy. A novel measuring instrument of space manipulator is designed to orbital simulative motion and locational accuracy test. The camera system of space manipulator, calibrated by MOGA algorithm, is used to locational accuracy test in this measuring instrument. The experimental result shows that the absolute errors are [0.07, 1.75] mm for MOGA calibrating model, [2.88, 5.95] mm for MN method, and [1.19, 4.83] mm for LM method. Besides, the composite errors both of LM method and MN method are approximately seven times higher that of MOGA calibrating model. It is suggested that the MOGA calibrating model is superior both to LM method and MN method.

摘要The wobble errors caused by the imperfect integration of motion sensors and transducers in multibeam echo-sounder systems(MBES)manifest as high-frequency wobbles in swaths and hinder the accurate expression of high-resolution seabed micro-topography under a dynamic marine environment.There are many types of wobble errors with certain coupling among them.However,those current calibration methods ignore the coupling and are mainly manual adjustments.Therefore,we proposed an automatic calibration method with the coupling.First,given the independence of the transmitter and the receiver,the traditional georeferenced model is modified to improve the accuracy of footprint reduction.Secondly,based on the improved georeferenced model,the calibration model associated with motion scale,time delay,yaw misalignment,lever arm errors,and soundings is constructed.Finally,the genetic algorithm(GA)is used to search dynamically for the optimal estimation of the corresponding error parameters to realize the automatic calibration of wobble errors.The simulated data show that the accuracy of the calibrated data can be controlled within 0.2%of the water depth.The measured data show that after calibration,the maximum standard deviation of the depth is reduced by about 5.9%,and the mean standard deviation of the depth is reduced by about 11.2%.The proposed method has significance in the precise calibration of dynamic errors in shallow water multibeam bathymetrie s.

摘要A flexible calibration method based on a front-coated flat mirror is proposed for a laser light-sectioning three-dimensional(3D)measurement system. Since the calibration target and its mirror image are spatially separated and can be recorded in an image by a camera,the proposed method requires only a single composite image that contains a non-planar checkerboard pattern,a laser strip projected on the target and their mirror images to complete the calibration of the camera and the laser plane in one step. Levenberg-Marquardt(LM)algorithm is used to optimize the system parameters,and the measurement accuracy and speed are improved to enable online 3D inspection. Static and dynamic online 3D measurements are carried out on a cup and a triple stepped shaft,respectively,to validate the proposed method. The shaft has two steps with the depth of(0.5±0.01)mm and(2±0.01)mm to be measured online when the shaft is rotated and translated at the same time. The measurement results can be output at a frequency of 7 to 11 readings per second with standard deviations of 0.040 mm and 0.051 mm. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method.
