Title:Design method of freeform off-axis three-mirror reflective imaging systems
Author(s):Zhao, Huaixue(1,2); Gao, Limin(2); Mao, Xianglong(2); Duan, Yaxuan(2); Xue, Xun(2)Source: Applied Optics Volume: 62 Issue: 29 Article Number: null DOI: 10.1364/AO.498270 Published: October 10, 2023Abstract:In this paper, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, method is proposed to design a freeform off-axis three-mirror reflective imaging system. A special algorithm is demonstrated to calculate the data points on the unknown freeform surface using the rays from the pupil of the center field. Then the three-dimensional shape of the freeform surface is solved by these characteristic points, which serves as a good starting point for further optimization. The benefit of this design method is demonstrated by designing a freeform off-axis three mirror imaging system with high performance. The final system operates at F/2 with an entrance pupil diameter of 400 mm and a field of view of 2.4? × 2.4?. The modulation transfer function (MTF) value of the system reaches 0.6 at 100 lp/mm or higher at all fields of view. ? 2023 Optica Publishing Group.Accession Number: 20234515011460 -

Author(s):Xie, Bingqing(1); Chang, Jun(1); Li, Yiting(1); Li, Xuyang(2); Huang, Yi(1)Source: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering Volume: 12617 Issue: null Article Number: 126177I DOI: 10.1117/12.2666850 Published: 2023Abstract:In order to solve the problems of limited clear viewing range and small field angle of the existing night vision equipment, a large numerical aperture zoom night vision objective is designed combined with the zoom optical imaging technology. The night vision zoom objective designed uses a lens with large curvature on the first surface to achieve large field of view detection. The aspheric surface is added to improve the imaging quality of the system and reduce the weight of the system, so that users can have a better user experience when using the objective lens. The operating band of the objective lens is 436nm-656nm, the focus range is 4.5mm-40mm, and the maximum field angle can reach 74 °. Finally, through simulation analysis, the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function, MTF) of the system at Nyquist frequency under different focal lengths is greater than 0.3, and the imaging quality is good. Through stray light analysis, it is found that the designed system is less affected by stray light in the central field of view and the half field of view, while the edge field of view is more affected by stray light. ? 2023 SPIE.Accession Number: 20232114130669 -

Title:Medium- and Long-Term Prediction of Polar Motion Using Weighted Least Squares Extrapolation and Vector Autoregressive Modeling
Author(s):Lei, Yu(1); Zhao, Danning(2); Guo, Min(3)Source: Artificial Satellites Volume: 58 Issue: 2 Article Number: null DOI: 10.2478/arsa-2023-0004 Published: June 1, 2023Abstract:This article presents the application of weighted least squares (WLS) extrapolation and vector autoregressive (VAR) modeling in polar motion prediction. A piecewise weighting function is developed for the least squares (LS) adjustment in consideration of the effect of intervals between observation and prediction epochs on WLS extrapolation. Furthermore, the VAR technique is used to simultaneously model and predict the residuals of xp, yp pole coordinates for WLS misfit. The simultaneous predictions of xp, yp pole coordinates are subsequently computed by the combination of WLS extrapolation of harmonic models for the linear trend, Chandler and annual wobbles, and VAR stochastic prediction of the residuals (WLS+VAR). The 365-day-ahead xp, yp predictions are compared with those generated by LS extrapolation+univariate AR prediction and LS extrapolation+VAR modeling. It is shown that the xp, yp predictions based on WLS+VAR taking into consideration both the interval effect and correlation between xp and yp outperform those generated by two others. The accuracies of the xp predictions are 13.97 mas, 18.47 mas, and 20.52 mas, respectively for the 150-, 270-, and 365-day horizon in terms of the mean absolute error statistics, 36%, 24.8%, and 33.5% higher than LS+AR, respectively. For the yp predictions, the 150-, 270-, and 365-day accuracies are 15.41 mas, 21.17 mas, and 21.82 mas respectively, 27.4%, 11.9%, and 21.8% higher than LS+AR respectively. Moreover, the absolute differences of the WLS+VAR predictions and observations are smaller than the differences from LS+VAR and LS+AR, which is practically important to practical and scientific users, although the improvement in accuracies is no more than 10% relative to LS+VAR. The further comparison with the predictions submitted to the 1st Earth Orientation Parameters Prediction Comparison Campaign (1st EOP PCC) shows that while the accuracy of the predictions within 30 days is comparable with that by the most accurate prediction techniques including neural networks and LS+AR participating in the campaign for xp, yp pole coordinates, the accuracy of the predictions up to 365 days into the future are better than accuracies by the other techniques except best LS+AR used in the EOP PCC. It is therefore concluded that the medium- and long-term prediction accuracy of polar motion can be improved by modeling xp, yp pole coordinates together. ? 2023 Yu Lei et al., published by Sciendo.Accession Number: 20233114473410 -

Author(s):Liu, Chengzhou(1); Wang, Jianhui(1); Cui, Weijia(1); Xu, Haiyun(1); Yang, Bingqing(2)Source: IET Radar, Sonar and Navigation Volume: 17 Issue: 2 Article Number: null DOI: 10.1049/rsn2.12332 Published: February 2023Abstract:Large-scale arrays are widely used due to their advantages of high gain, high resolution, and strong beam control capability. The large number of antennas leads to a sharp increase in computational complexity, and thus, it is necessary to reduce the complexity of signal processing. A signal separation method is proposed based on subarray beam synthesis. This method can improve signal reception and separation performance through zero-forcing calculation and realise system gain and phase error corrections in the front end of an antenna. Compared with back-end processing, it has the advantage of low implementation difficulty. The feasibility and performance of the method are verified by simulations. ? 2022 The Authors.

Title:Parallel Multistage Wide Neural Network
Author(s):Xi, Jiangbo(1); Ersoy, Okan K.(2); Fang, Jianwu(3); Wu, Tianjun(4); Wei, Xin(5); Zhao, Chaoying(1)Source: IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems Volume: 34 Issue: 8 Article Number: null DOI: 10.1109/TNNLS.2021.3120331 Published: August 1, 2023Abstract:Deep learning networks have achieved great success in many areas, such as in large-scale image processing. They usually need large computing resources and time and process easy and hard samples inefficiently in the same way. Another undesirable problem is that the network generally needs to be retrained to learn new incoming data. Efforts have been made to reduce the computing resources and realize incremental learning by adjusting architectures, such as scalable effort classifiers, multi-grained cascade forest (gcForest), conditional deep learning (CDL), tree CNN, decision tree structure with knowledge transfer (ERDK), forest of decision trees with radial basis function (RBF) networks, and knowledge transfer (FDRK). In this article, a parallel multistage wide neural network (PMWNN) is presented. It is composed of multiple stages to classify different parts of data. First, a wide radial basis function (WRBF) network is designed to learn features efficiently in the wide direction. It can work on both vector and image instances and can be trained in one epoch using subsampling and least squares (LS). Second, successive stages of WRBF networks are combined to make up the PMWNN. Each stage focuses on the misclassified samples of the previous stage. It can stop growing at an early stage, and a stage can be added incrementally when new training data are acquired. Finally, the stages of the PMWNN can be tested in parallel, thus speeding up the testing process. To sum up, the proposed PMWNN network has the advantages of: 1) optimized computing resources; 2) incremental learning; and 3) parallel testing with stages. The experimental results with the MNIST data, a number of large hyperspectral remote sensing data, and different types of data in different application areas, including many image and nonimage datasets, show that the WRBF and PMWNN can work well on both image and nonimage data and have very competitive accuracy compared to learning models, such as stacked autoencoders, deep belief nets, support vector machine (SVM), multilayer perceptron (MLP), LeNet-5, RBF network, recently proposed CDL, broad learning, gcForest, ERDK, and FDRK. ? 2012 IEEE.Accession Number: 20214511130588 -

Title:Improved edge gradient image clarity evaluation algorithm
Author(s):Shen, Xiangquan(1); Xiao, Maosen(2)Source: Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering Volume: 12918 Issue: null Article Number: 1291805 DOI: 10.1117/12.3009367 Published: 2023Abstract:A sharpness evaluation method based on image edge detection is proposed for the problems of poor real-time, weak anti-interference ability and low sensitivity of the traditional gradient evaluation algorithm in the auto-focusing process of digital image processing. The edge pixel points are extracted from the image using an improved adaptive double-threshold Canny operator based on the idea of variance minimization within the OSTU class, and then the extracted image edge pixel points are evaluated. The evaluation function is based on the characteristics of human visual system, and the adaptability and sensitivity of the evaluation function to multiple direction edges are enhanced by improving the evaluation weights of the SMD function for horizontal and vertical direction edges and combining the advantages of the Roberts function for the evaluation of ±45°direction edges. The experimental results show that the improved edge gradient image sharpness evaluation algorithm proposed in this paper has the advantages of good real-time performance, strong anti-noise capability and high sensitivity. ? 2023 SPIE.Accession Number: 20234615045807 -

Title:Electrical treeing failure in silicone gel insulation for encapsulation under high frequency bipolar square-wave voltage
Author(s):Zhang, Chuang(1); Wang, Shihang(1); Chen, Zhen(2); Zhang, Haoran(1); Zha, Xiaopeng(1); Zhou, Fusheng(1); Li, Jianying(1); Li, Shengtao(1)Source: Engineering Failure Analysis Volume: 148 Issue: null Article Number: 107092 DOI: 10.1016/j.engfailanal.2023.107092 Published: June 2023Abstract:Silicone gel insulation has been widely used in power electronic devices, serving as the encapsulation material. Its dielectric strength under high-frequency voltage determines the reliable operation of the devices. Electrical tree is a typical failure of solid insulating materials, and the electrical tree propagation in silicone gel under bipolar square-wave voltage are investigated in this paper. The results show that electrical trees are pearl-line like, bush-like and bubble-like under varied voltage conditions. After the rapid growth period, the electrical trees stagnate under frequency lower than 20 kHz while develop steadily when the voltage frequency is higher than 25 kHz. The number of tree branch, fractal dimension and accumulated damage increase with the voltage frequency. In comparison, the electrical trees propagate slowly under sinusoidal-wave voltage. The partial discharge and photo-degradation corresponding to the fluorescence are found in main tree channel, which are related to voltage waveform and lead to different electrical tree behavior. The injection and transportation of space charge accelerates the electrical tree propagation, especially at the rising/falling edge of bipolar square-wave field due to polarity reversal. Besides, the amorphous carbon deposited near the needle tip and the bubbles in tree channels filled with hydrogen and carbon monoxide are all related with the electrical tree propagation. ? 2023 Elsevier LtdAccession Number: 20231213750733 -

Title:Construction, Spectral Modeling, Parameter Inversion-Based Calibration, and Application of an Echelle Spectrometer
Author(s):Wang, Yuming(1,2); Qu, Youshan(1); Zhao, Hui(1); Fan, Xuewu(1)Source: Sensors Volume: 23 Issue: 14 Article Number: 6630 DOI: 10.3390/s23146630 Published: July 2023Abstract:We have developed a compact, asymmetric three-channel echelle spectrometer with remarkable high-spectral resolution capabilities. In order to achieve the desired spectral resolution, we initially establish a theoretical spectral model based on the two-dimensional coordinates of spot positions corresponding to each wavelength. Next, we present an innovative and refined method for precisely calibrating echelle spectrometers through parameter inversion. Our analysis delves into the complexities of the nonlinear two-dimensional echelle spectrogram. We employ a variety of optimization techniques, such as grid exploration, simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, and genetic simulated annealing (GSA) algorithms, to accurately invert spectrogram parameters. Our proposed GSA algorithm synergistically integrates the strengths of global and local searches, thereby enhancing calibration accuracy. Compared to the conventional grid exploration method, GSA reduces the error function by 22.8%, convergence time by 2.16 times, and calibration accuracy by 7.05 times. Experimental validation involves calibrating a low-pressure mercury lamp, resulting in an average spectral accuracy error of 0.0257 nm after performing crucial parameter inversion. Furthermore, the echelle spectrometer undergoes a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy experiment, demonstrating exceptional spectral resolution and sub-10 ns time-resolved capability. Overall, our research offers a comprehensive and efficient solution for constructing, modeling, calibrating, and applying echelle spectrometers, significantly enhancing calibration accuracy and efficiency. This work contributes to the advancement of spectrometry and opens up new possibilities for high-resolution spectral analysis across various research and industry domains. ? 2023 by the authors.Accession Number: 20233114470375 -

The vehicle driving cycle describes the vehicle speed time curve, which is used to determine vehicle pollutant emissions, fuel consumption, new model development and evaluation. It is a key basic technology in the automotive industry. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out research on the driving cycle of vehicles on urban roads in China. Markov model is used to model the vehicle driving cycle in a given city. The average speed, average driving speed, average acceleration, average deceleration, idling time ratio, acceleration time ratio, deceleration time ratio, standard deviation of speed, standard deviation of acceleration and other index values are extracted for each kinematics segment, and these index values are input into the Markov chain to obtain the corresponding vehicle driving condition data. At the same time, the comprehensive evaluation system is constructed based on the calculated index values. We use the entropy weight method combined with the gray evaluation model to evaluate the vehicle driving cycle model. The evaluation results show that the Markov model of vehicle driving cycle proposed by us has a good effect. ? 2023 IEEE.Accession Number: 20232714347104
