Abstract:The existing solar cell surface defect detection algorithms based on machine vision are all designed to use various types of mathematical models to carry out the algorithm design. In order to further improve the detection accuracy, inspired by human vision bionics, the human visual attention mechanism is firstly introduced in the solar cell surface defect detection, and a solar cell surface defect detection algorithm based on visual saliency is proposed in this paper. First of all, the acquired solar cell surface image is preprocessed to remove the noise and grids that influence the defect detection. Secondly, a visual saliency detection algorithm based on selflearning features is put forward to roughly locate the defect region. Then, an algorithm that combines the visual saliency and superpixel segmentation is proposed to precisely locate the defect region. At last, the final detection result is obtained using morphological postprocessing. The subjective and objective experiment evaluations on a test image database containing various types of defects demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high detection accuracy.

Abstract:This paper proposes an online diagnosis method that adopts inductive coupling technique to realize noncontact cable fault diagnosis; the method solves the problems of large signal attenuation of capacitive coupling and poor diagnosis effect in existing noncontact detection approaches. Compared with contact diagnostic methods, noncontact diagnosis approaches avoid the electrical connection between diagnostic device and the cable under test, and is safer and more convenient. Firstly, based on the main factors (mutual inductance, broadband signal coupling ability) that affect inductive coupling method, the paper analyzes theoretically the materials and parameter characteristics of the coupler under ideal condition in which the diagnosis effects are the same for inductive coupling method and contact, direct injection method; the inductive coupler is analyzed and designed. Then, theoretical analysis and simulation verify that even if the inductive coupler suffers from the influence of actual parasitic parameters, the signal attenuation of inductive coupling is still less than that of capacitive coupling. At last, experiment results verify that the detection rate of inductive noncontact cable fault diagnosis reaches to above 93%, the positioning error is less than 0.42 meters.

Abstract:Ultrasonic phased array full focusing method is an imaging algorithm based on full matrix data. It exhibits advantages of high imaging accuracy and great defect characterization ability, while there are some disadvantages, such as large amount of data, long computation time and large nearsurface noise. At present it is mainly used in postprocessing imaging. A correction model based on the angular directivity function is established, and an accelerating algorithm based on triangular matrix data capture and data index technology is designed, combining with parallel computing device. It is tested on an aluminum block with artificial holes with a 16element phased array probe. The result shows that time consumption of each image is decreased to less than 135 ms with the accelerating algorithm, which can be deemed realtime. The correction model is helpful to decrease nearsurface noise, reduce false defects, and improve signal to noise ratio of the image.

Abstract:Muscle fatigue is a complex physiological phenomenon. The real-time assessment of muscle fatigue by surface electromyography requires that fatigue indices are rapid, noise immunity, and reliable. Thus, the real-time assessment of muscle fatigue has been proposed based on the marginal spectrum entropy. First, deterministic periodic signals with different data lengths and Gauss white noise has been used to analyze the rapidity of marginal spectrum entropy and the robustness of data length. Then, the muscle fatigue signals of long extensor carpi when the 10 subjects grip under continuous static contraction state decreases from 100% maximal voluntary contraction to 50% maximal voluntary contraction, has been used to analyze the reliability of assessment method of muscle fatigue based on marginal spectrum entropy and the stability of the method applied to different individuals. Finally, the noise immunity of marginal spectral entropy has been investigated by adding Gauss white noise and electrocardiogram noise into the muscle fatigue signal of a subject. The experimental results show that compared with approximate entropy and median frequency, the calculation based on marginal spectrum entropy is more rapid and data length robustness is more obvious. Also, Goodness of fit based on marginal spectrum entropy is better(0.46±0.14) ,the marginal spectrum entropy can reliably assess muscle fatigue. Slope of the coefficient of variation is lower(30.30%),the marginal spectrum entropy is highly stable for different individuals. Rate of change of the goodness of fit of the marginal spectral entropy is lower after adding Gaussian white noise and electrocardiogram noise(additive Gaussian white noise and additive electrocardiogram noise are 34.39% and 3.78% respectively).Therefore, marginal spectrum entropy has the advantages of rapidity, noise immunity, reliability of assessing muscle fatigue. It can be concluded that the marginal spectrum entropy is suitable for real-time assessment of muscle fatigue, which supplies a new method for muscle fatigue assessment.

Abstract:To overcome disadvantages of conventional Doppler estimation and compensation on UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) platform, a novel algorithm based on joint time-frequency searching is proposed to track and rapidly compensate the time-variant Doppler in underwater acoustic OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) communication. The algorithm utilizes the comb pilots combined with frequency-domain resampling to calculate the channel impulse response with different Doppler factors. Then the correct Doppler factor is achieved and eliminated by seeking the sparest channel impulse response, which is accessed using matching pursuit method. Experiment results performed by Monte Carlo simulation and sea-trial data are provided, demonstrating that the proposed algorithm can effectively track and rapidly compensate the time-variant Doppler factor, thus ensuring the stable underwater acoustic OFDM mobile communication for UUV.

Abstract:The grey bootstrap evaluation model GBM (1, 1) for dynamic measurement results of atmospheric pressure is built through fusing the grey model GM (1, 1), bootstrap method and uncertainty evaluation theory. The parameters, such as the estimated true value, estimated interval and mean uncertainty are selected to describe the estimation results. The experiment results indicate that the GBM (1, 1) model combines the advantages of the GM (1, 1) grey model and bootstrap method, can accurately simulate the probability distribution of dynamic measurement data and track the variation trends of the measured quantity during dynamic measurement progress. The maximum value and mean value of the estimated errors are smaller than those of the measurement errors of original data, respectively. The interval estimation reliability of the GBM (1, 1) model exceeds 96%, and the estimated interval can fully envelop the dynamic fluctuation range of the measured quantity, which proves that the GBM (1, 1) model can improve the measurement accuracy of atmospheric pressure and evaluate the uncertainty of dynamic measurement results accurately.

Abstract:The position and pose reconstruction of spatial hole widely exists in industrial and architecture areas. This paper proposes a method for recognizing the position and pose of space hole, named the directrixgeneratrix method. The principle of the reconstruction method is as follows: fitting the hole directrix according to the marginal points on the cross section of the hole; through other points in hole cylindrical surface respectively, drawing the hole cylindrical surface generatrix in the direction given by the hole axis; LM (Levenberg Marquard) algorithm is adopted to perform the optimization, in which the algebraic sum of the distances from the crossover points of the generatrices and the hole cross section to the hole directrix is minimum. Then, the hole axis direction is obtained, and the center of hole directrix could be used as the hole location. The experiment result shows that the proposed method requires less sample data, and features very simple calculation process and high accuracy, which is also suitable to the position and pose reconstruction for axis and other cylindrical surfaces.

Abstract:In order to improve the success rate of adaptive reclosure and minimize the incomplete phase operative time, a method based on flatness characteristics of allphase FFT (apFFT) spectrum is presented to detect the arc extinction time for transient singlephase earth faults in transmission lines with shunt reactors. The apFFT spectrum of the terminal voltage of faulty phase is analyzed. It is found that, before the secondary arc extinguishes, the apFFT phase spectrum is not smooth, because of outstanding variation of highfrequency components caused by the highly nonlinear transition resistances. After the secondary arc extinguishes, the apFFT phase spectrum is flat, because the transition resistance disappears and highfrequency signals change smoothly. Utilizing the difference of the flatness characteristic in highorder harmonic apFFT phase spectrum before and after the secondary arc extinguishes, a reliable method is proposed to identify the arc extinction time accurately and effectively. Simulations using ATPEMTP verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method. The proposed method is almost insusceptible to fault location, transition resistance and power angle. The validity of the method is verified by the analysis of the actual wave data.

Abstract:The signaltonoise ratio (SNR) of space coherent optical communication system is greatly influenced by the laser linewidth. This paper compares and analyzes the influence of laser linewidth on the SNR of the heterodyne detection output when the time difference τd that two beams arrive at the photosensitive surface of the balanced detector and the detector characteristic parameter are different. Theoretical analysis and experiment result show that the differential frequency signal bandwidth increasing caused by laser linewidth broadening is independent withτd. When the differential frequency signal bandwidth increases by 2.673 times, the output SNR decreases by 0.369 2 times, which is approximately equal to 1/2.673. Increasing the internal gain, response degree and response bandwidth of the detector can slow down the SNR decreasing speed as the laser linewidth increases; however, when the internal gain and response bandwidth are too large, corresponding noise signal is also stronger, which is not benefit to the improvement of the SNR.

Abstract:In order to meet the requirements of thermal damage assessment of large equivalent warhead, improve the impact and ablation resistance of the traditional thin-skin calorimeter, a new type of heat sink cooling heat flux sensor is designed by adding heat sink to the rear surface of heat sensitive element. The incident heat flux can be indirectly obtained by measuring the rear surface temperature of heat sensitive element. In this paper, the model of sensor is established, the response time expression is derived, and the response characteristics of the sensor are simulated by numerical simulation. Simulation results show that: The response time of sensor is only related to the size and material of heat sensitive element, and not related to the heat sink. The response time of sensor which designed with the copper heat sensitive element is about 1.1ms; Greater the endothermic coefficient of heat sink is, smaller the temperature rise of heat sensitive element becomes. At the same time, the temperature rise rate decreases gradually with the increase of time. Validation experiment shows that the addition of heat sink can effectively reduce the temperature rise of heat sensitive element, and the sensor can correctly reflect the change of incident heat flux.

Abstract:The bias magnetic field is related to the coupling efficiency of magnetostrictive effect and its inverse effect sensors. In order to meet the need for longitudinal mode magnetostrictive guided wave inspection, a method was proposed to evaluate the bias magnetic field produced by permanent magnets. Firstly, from the point of energy conversion in magnetostrictive guided wave defection process, the connection between the bias magnetic field and amplitude of guided wave signal is obtained. Secondly, a method was proposed to estimate bias magnetic field considering the uneven distribution of the magnetic field and the principle of magnetostrictive effect and its inverse effect. Thirdly, a finite element model is built and experiments are carried out to confirm the feasibility of the characterization of bias magnetic field. At last, a verification experiment was conducted to confirm the effectiveness of method. This method takes advantages of the values of magnetic field intensity along the circumferential direction on the pipe outer surface to characterize the bias magnetic field, using the relationship lines between signal amplitude and bias magnetic field. As a consequence, this method can be used to estimate the bias magnetic field for improving the efficiency of magnetostrictive longitudinal guided wave testing and provide a basis for the future study of intelligent instrument.

Abstract:The flow filed in the jet pipe and receivers is very complicated, especially in the dynamic situation, back flow and vortex etc. exist . Based on the model of a certain jet pipe servo valve, the movement equation of valve is obtained by combining force equilibrium of spool. Applying Reynolds averaged NavierStokes equations and the standard two equation model (liquid phase), a visual simulation model of the jet pipe to receivers of jet pipe servo valve is established through fluid dynamic software FLUENT. The fluid field and transient response of the prestage are simulated and analyzed which is from jet pipe to receivers. Simulation results demonstrate that the intensity of vorticity has effects on step response of jet pipe sevo valve. The greater vorticity intensity results in the greater oscillation and the slower step response. The 45 degree is the best design of the angle between two receivers by comparing different angles between two receivers. This work has important reference value for improving dynamic response of jet pipe servo valve.

Abstract:Nowadays still widely used manual filling control approach to the small-doses and high-speed liquid medicine filling system with high filling accuracy requirement is difficult to reduce filling errors due to dynamic behavior time-varying of the high-speed filling system (HSFS). In order to improve the filling control accuracy of the HSFS, this paper designs an intelligent filling controller (IC) based on the model of the HSFS. On the basis of the IC, for solving the problem caused by filling behavior nonlinearity, this paper proposes an adaptive intelligent filling control method, in which a locally linear model of the HSFS is built online by the least squares method (LSM), the sensitivity of the filling system is analyzed online based on the model, and an adaptive controller is designed to overcome the influence of dynamics time-varying and nonlinearity of the HSFS. Real-time filling control experiments are carried out using manual control, the intelligent control and the adaptive control methods, respectively. The results show that the adaptive control performance is the best compared to other two control approaches, both the intelligent controller and adaptive controller can cope with the behavior time-varying of the HSFS very well, and the adaptive controller has the ability to overcome the influence of nonlinearity of the HSFS.

Abstract:For light-weight unmanned surface vessel(USV), the observability of course is low when sailing at low speed(7 knots). In terrible ocean environment and strong surge, It is difficult to meet the measuring accuracy requirement because the compass is not stable. In order to realize the smoothing filtering of course angle of the USV, the article estimate the process noise of course angle effectively according to the system control frequency and the boat body movement performance. We use an α-β filter to smoothing the course of USV based on the estimated process noise. In order to eliminating the boundary dis-continuous of course angle which will cause singular value when using α-β filter, we proposed a boundary filtering strategy to realize the full range smooth filtering for the course angle. Real-time data playback verified the effectiveness of the method on the navigation control for the USV.

Abstract:Space-Time Image Velocimetry (STIV) is a time-averaged velocity measurement method. It takes a testing line as the Interrogation Area (IA), and detects the texture orientation of a generated Space-Time Image to estimate the 1D velocity. STIV has great potential in real-time monitoring of river flow owe to its high spatial resolution and low time complexity. However, its practicality is still limited by the deficiencies of sensitivity analysis and uncertainty evaluation due to the complexity of field conditions and the variability of river flow. To handle this problem, a rolling painting device is designed to simulate the movement of river surface flow, and the quantitative evaluation of a DFT-STIV method is comprehensively conducted. Compared to the evaluations based on numerical simulation and field measuring, it provides relatively real measuring environment and stable motion parameters. Experiment results show that the length of testing line and the tracing condition are main sensitive factors of velocity measurement. With reasonable parameter settings, the uncertainty of STIV can be controlled within ±1%, which meets the accuracy requirement of hydrometry.

Abstract:The traditional random walks based image segmentation algorithm requires setting seed points interactively to obtain the desired segmentation results. Based on visual attention, the paper proposes a new random walks based image segmentation algorithm with the seed points determined automatically. Firstly, the probability boundary map (PBM) is generated and the image is divided into super pixels. Then, the key segmentation region is searched by shifting visual attention focus with Itti model. In order to determine the seed points of the key segmentation region, the probabilistic boundary map is transformed into polar coordinates map taking the current focus of attention as the pole. The energy function about the boundary of the focal region is established on the obtained polar coordinate probabilistic boundary map. The energy function can be minimized by the maxflow mincut algorithm, and the super pixels within the boundary of focal region are the seed points of segmentation region. Finally, super pixels of images are used as nodes to construct a graph, random walks algorithm is conducted on the graph to complete the image segmentation. The experiments on Berkeley Segmentation Data Set show that the proposed method is effective to complex images’ segmentation.

Abstract:In order to address the issues that the performance of instrument identification system in intelligent patrol robot is affected by the varying illumination, and has the low identification accuracy, instrument identification system with high accuracy is built according to the characteristics of pointer instrument image from high voltage electronic field. In view of the outdoor work environment of patrol robot, iterative Otsu algorithm is proposed in the paper, which can achieve the extraction of pointer area in instrument image under all kinds of illuminations. After the analysis of pointer rotation mechanism and image characteristic, pointer angle recognition algorithm based on Hough transform is proposed in the paper, the function between pointer angle and reading is deduced. Compared with the traditional pointer angle extraction algorithm based on Hough transform, the constraint condition of pointer center line through the center is added in the algorithm, which can increase the accuracy of angle extraction, and reduce the amount of search data and time. The proposed instrument identification system in the paper can achieve more than 95% of the correct recognition rate under all kinds of outdoor illumination. Experiments show that the system proposed in the paper is robust to illumination condition, pointer width, dial interference, imaging angle without the shadow of pointer. However, when the shadow of pointer is generated due to imaging angle, the extraction of central line and the calculation of angle are biased, then the accuracy of reading recognition is reduced.

Abstract:In order to improve the adaptive ability and segmentation accuracy of video object segmentation algorithm in various complex scenes, an object segmentation algorithm based on motion saliency map and optical flow vector analysis is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the proposed algorithm extracts the rough target region based on motion saliency map. Then, the motion boundaries of the motion object and background region are determined based on the optical flow vector between pairs of subsequent frames. The above information is combined to acquire the accurate pixels inside the moving objects with the pointinpolygon principle from the computational geometry. Finally, to refine the spatial accuracy of object segmentation in the previous step, per frame superpixels are acquired with oversegmenting method. And these superpixels are labeled as foreground or background based on confidence level and statistical model. The proposed algorithm was compared with typical algorithms in different scenes, and the results indicate that the proposed algorithm can effectively deal with the moving object segmentation on a variety of challenging scenes, and has higher segmentation accuracy than other existing algorithms.

Abstract:Clock difference prediction is a key technology of time keeping work. Kalman algorithm as a kind of optimal prediction algorithm, has the characteristics of real-time, widely used in time keeping work. The classical Kalman algorithm needs to accurately know the random error of the model and measurement error, otherwise, the state estimate will bring error, which is characterized by atomic clocks noise and clock difference measure noise in the atomic time algorithm. Noise parameters of atomic clock is usually estimated through Allan variance, if estimate is not accurate, Kalman filter prediction error will appear. In this paper, the adaptive Kalman filtering prediction algorithm based on window of Sage was researched, the state model error was corrected real-time. The model error was reduced by adjusting the state prediction covariance matrix using adaptive factor, which improved the prediction accuracy. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm was verified by the measured data of two hydrogen atomic clocks and two cesium atomic clocks.
