People are more concerned about theirsecurity due to traditional passwords becoming weaker or leaking in various attacks. In recent decades, fingerprintsand faces have been widely used for person identification, which has the risk of information leakage as a resultof reproducing fingers or faces by taking a snapshot. Recently, people have focused on creating an identifiablepattern, which will not be reproducible falsely by capturing psychological and behavioral information of a personusing vision and sensor-based techniques. In existing studies, most of the researchers used very complex patternsin this direction, which need special training and attention to remember the patterns and failed to capturethe psychological and behavioral information of a person properly. To overcome these problems, this researchdevised a novel dynamic hand gesture-based person identification system using a Leap Motion sensor. Thisstudy developed two hand gesture-based pattern datasets for performing the experiments, which contained morethan 500 samples, collected from 25 subjects. Various static and dynamic features were extracted from the handgeometry. Randomforest was used to measure feature importance using the Gini Index. Finally, the support vectormachinewas implemented for person identification and evaluate its performance using identification accuracy. Theexperimental results showed that the proposed system produced an identification accuracy of 99.8% for arbitraryhand gesture-based patterns and 99.6% for the same dynamic hand gesture-based patterns. This result indicatedthat the proposed system can be used for person identification in the field of security.展开更多

Unlike traditional techniques,which segment PET data into bins throughout a respiratory cycle and often face issues such as inefficiency andoveremphasis on certain artifacts, TEMT employs Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for effective featureextraction and motion decomposition.TEMT’s unique approach involves transforming motion sequences into Liegroup domains to highlight fundamental motion patterns, coupled with employing competitive weighting forprecise target deformation field generation. Our empirical evaluations confirm TEMT’s superior performancein handling diverse PET lung datasets compared to existing image registration networks.

Then, the distributed scheme is formulated as a time-varying quadratic programming(QP) and solved online utilizing a noise-tolerant zeroing neural network(NTZNN). Theoretical analysis shows that the NTZNN model converges globally to the optimal solution of QP in the presence of noise. Finally, the effectiveness of the control design is demonstrated by numerical simulations and physical platform experiments.展开更多

文摘This paper presents a distributed scheme with limited communications, aiming to achieve cooperative motion control for multiple omnidirectional mobile manipulators(MOMMs).The proposed scheme extends the existing single-agent motion control to cater to scenarios involving the cooperative operation of MOMMs. Specifically, squeeze-free cooperative load transportation is achieved for the end-effectors of MOMMs by incorporating cooperative repetitive motion planning(CRMP), while guiding each individual to desired poses. Then, the distributed scheme is formulated as a time-varying quadratic programming(QP) and solved online utilizing a noise-tolerant zeroing neural network(NTZNN). Theoretical analysis shows that the NTZNN model converges globally to the optimal solution of QP in the presence of noise. Finally, the effectiveness of the control design is demonstrated by numerical simulations and physical platform experiments.

文摘This paper presented a novel tinny motion capture system for measuring bird posture based on inertial and magnetic measurement units that are made up of micromachined gyroscopes, accelerometers, and magnetometers. Multiple quaternion-based extended Kalman filters were implemented to estimate the absolute orientations to achieve high accuracy.Under the guidance of ornithology experts, the extending/contracting motions and flapping cycles were recorded using the developed motion capture system, and the orientation of each bone was also analyzed. The captured flapping gesture of the Falco peregrinus is crucial to the motion database of raptors as well as the bionic design.

文摘The Brownian motion of spherical and ellipsoidal self-propelled particles was simulated without considering the effect of inertia and using the Langevin equation and the diffusion coefficient of ellipsoidal particles derived by Perrin.The P´eclet number(Pe)was introduced to measure the relative strengths of self-propelled and Brownian motions.We found that the motion state of spherical and ellipsoid self-propelled particles changed significantly under the influence of Brownian motion.For spherical particles,there were three primary states of motion:1)when Pe<30,the particles were still significantly affected by Brownian motion;2)when Pe>30,the self-propelled velocities of the particles were increasing;and 3)when Pe>100,the particles were completely controlled by the self-propelled velocities and the Brownian motion was suppressed.In the simulation of the ellipsoidal self-propelled particles,we found that the larger the aspect ratio of the particles,the more susceptible they were to the influence of Brownian motion.In addition,the value interval of Pe depended on the aspect ratio.Finally,we found that the directional motion ability of the ellipsoidal self-propelled particles was much weaker than that of the spherical self-propelled particles.

文摘The present work investigates the potential applications of nitrogen oxides(NO_(x)),particularly nitric oxide(NO)and nitrogen dioxide(NO_(2)),generated through discharge plasma in diverse sectors such as medicine,nitrogen fixation,energy,and environmental protection.In this study,a rotating sliding arc discharge reactor was initially employed to produce high concentrations of gaseous NO_(x),followed by the utilization of a molybdenum wire redox reactor for NO_(2)-to-NO conversion.The outcomes reveal that the discharge states and generations of NO_(x) are affected by varying parameters,including the applied energies,frequencies and airflow states(1.3-2.6 m/s are the laminar flow,2.6-5.2 m/s are the transition state,5.2-6.5 m/s are the turbulent flow),and the concentrations of NO_(x) within the arc discharge are higher than that in the spark discharge.Moreover,the concentrations of NO,NO_(2) and NO_(x) gradually increased,and the concentration ratios of NO/NO_(2) and NO_(x)/NO_(2) decreased with increasing the applied energy for one cycle from 14.8 mJ to 24.3 mJ.Meanwhile,the concentrations of NO,NO_(2) and NO_(x) gradually decreased,and the concentration ratios of NO/NO_(2) and NO_(x)/NO_(2) first decreased and then increased with increasing the applied frequencies from 5.0 kHz to 9.0 kHz.Further,the concentrations of NO,NO_(2) and NO_(x) gradually decreased,and the concentration ratios of NO/NO_(2) and NO_(x)/NO_(2) first increased and then decreased with increasing the air flow speeds from 1.3 m/s to 6.5 m/s.Lastly,the concentrations of NO increased and NO_(2) decreased with increasing temperature from 25℃ to 400℃ using molybdenum converted.These findings provide experimental support for the application of plasma in the fields of medicine,nitrogen fixation,energy and environmental protection.

文摘Underwater target motion estimation is a challenge for ocean military and scientific research.In this work,we propose a method based on the combination of polarization imaging and optical flow for turbid underwater target detection.Polarization imaging can reduce the influence of backscattered light and obtain high-quality images underwater.The optical flow shows the motion and structural information of the target.We use polarized optical flow to obtain the optical flow field and estimate the target motion.The experimental results of different targets under varying water turbidity levels illustrate that our method is realizable and robust.The precision is verified by comparing the results with the precise displacement data and calculating two error measures.The proposed method based on polarized optical flow can obtain accurate displacement information and a good recognition effect.Moving target segmentation based on the Otsu method further proves the superiority of the polarized optical flow under turbid water.This study is valuable for target detection and motion estimation in scattering environments.
