Based on the extreme value theorem and Taylor series expansion, it is proved theoretically that the parameters estimated by the linear fitting method alone cannot minimize the sum of the squared residual errors in the measurement data when measurement noise is involved in the data. Numerical simulation is performed to compare the performance of the linear and nonlinear fitting methods. Simulation results show that the linear method can obtain only a suboptimal estimate of the unknown parameters and that the nonlinear method gives more accurate results. Application of the fitting methods is demonstrated where the water spectral attenuation coefficient is estimated from underwater images and imaging distances, which supports the improvement in the accuracy of parameter estimation by the nonlinear fitting method.展开更多

However, how to interpret the generated SCM map is still pending. Moreover, is it probable to extract tissue dissimilarity messages based on the theory behind SCM? The primary purpose of this paper is to address these two questions. First, the theory of SCM was interpreted from the perspective of linear fitting. Then, a term was embedded for tissue dissimilarity information. Finally, our method was validated with sixteen human brain image series from multiecho T*2-w MRI. Generated maps were investigated from signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and perceived visual quality, and then interpreted from intra- and inter-tissue intensity. Experimental results show that both perceptibility of anatomical structures and tissue contrast are improved. More importantly, tissue similarity or dissimilarity can be quantified and cross-validated from pixel intensity analysis. This method benefits image enhancement, tissue classification, malformation detection and morphological evaluation.展开更多

In this paper, the displacement reconstruction method based on cubic spline fitting is put forward to reconstruct the dynamic displacement of slender flexible structures without the knowledge of modeshapes and applied loading. The obtained strains and displacements are compared with the results calculated by ABAQUS to check the method's validity. It can be found that the proposed method can accurately identify the strains and displacement of slender flexible structures undergoing linear vibrations, nonlinear vibrations, and parametric vibrations. Under the concentrated force, the strains of slender flexible structures will change suddenly along the axial direction. With locally densified measurement points, the present reconstruction method still works well for the strain concentration problem.展开更多

Various methods are proposed for solving this problem. Of all the algorithms, the ge- netic algorithm is an alternative to conventional approaches to find the solution of the bilevel linear programming. In this paper, we describe an adaptive genetic algorithm for solving the bilevel linear programming problem to overcome the difficulty of determining the probabilities of crossover and mutation. In addition, some techniques are adopted not only to deal with the difficulty that most of the chromosomes maybe infeasible in solving constrained optimization problem with genetic algorithm but also to improve the efficiency of the algorithm. The performance of this proposed algorithm is illustrated by the examples from references.展开更多
