Compared with 3D techniques via multiple observations in elevation, e.g. SAR interferometry(InSAR) and SAR tomography(TomoSAR), holographic SAR can retrieve 3D structure by observations in azimuth. This paper focuses on designing a novel type of orbit to achieve SAR regional all-azimuth observation(AAO) for embedded targets detection and holographic 3D reconstruction. The ground tracks of the AAO orbit separate the earth surface into grids. Target in these grids can be accessed with an azimuth angle span of360°, which is similar to the flight path of airborne circular SAR(CSAR). Inspired from the successive coverage orbits of optical sensors, several optimizations are made in the proposed method to ensure favorable grazing angles, the performance of 3D reconstruction, and long-term supervision for SAR sensors. Simulation experiments show the regional AAO can be completed within five hours. In addition, a second AAO of the same area can be duplicated in two days. Finally, an airborne SAR data process result is presented to illustrate the significance of AAO in 3D reconstruction.展开更多

Principal component analysis(PCA) is commonly used to compress images and extract features. Onedisadvantage of PCA is local feature loss. To address this, various studies haveproposed combining a PCA-LPP-based algorithm with a locality preservingprojection (LPP). However, the existing PCA-LPP method is unsuitable for3D face reconstruction because it focuses on data classification and clustering.In the existing PCA-LPP, the adjacency graph, which primarily shows the connectionrelationships between data, is composed of the e-or k-nearest neighbortechniques. By contrast, in this study, complex and detailed parts, such aswrinkles around the eyes and mouth, can be reconstructed by composing thetopology of the 3D face model as an adjacency graph and extracting localfeatures from the connection relationship between the 3D model vertices.Experiments verified the effectiveness of the proposed method. When theproposed method was applied to the 3D face reconstruction evaluation set,a performance improvement of 10% to 20% was observed compared with theexisting PCA-based method.展开更多

Existing methods for ...Fast and accurate measurement of the volume of earthmoving materials is of great signifcance for the real-time evaluation of loader operation efciency and the realization of autonomous operation. Existing methods for volume measurement, such as total station-based methods, cannot measure the volume in real time, while the bucket-based method also has the disadvantage of poor universality. In this study, a fast estimation method for a loader’s shovel load volume by 3D reconstruction of material piles is proposed. First, a dense stereo matching method (QORB–MAPM) was proposed by integrating the improved quadtree ORB algorithm (QORB) and the maximum a posteriori probability model (MAPM), which achieves fast matching of feature points and dense 3D reconstruction of material piles. Second, the 3D point cloud model of the material piles before and after shoveling was registered and segmented to obtain the 3D point cloud model of the shoveling area, and the Alpha-shape algorithm of Delaunay triangulation was used to estimate the volume of the 3D point cloud model. Finally, a shovel loading volume measurement experiment was conducted under loose-soil working conditions. The results show that the shovel loading volume estimation method (QORB–MAPM VE) proposed in this study has higher estimation accuracy and less calculation time in volume estimation and bucket fll factor estimation, and it has signifcant theoretical research and engineering application value.展开更多

However, achieving high energy density in Ni-rich cathodes is accompanied by substantial safety and cycle-life obstacles. The major issues of Ni-rich cathodes at high working potentials are originated from the unstable cathode-electrolyte interface, while the underlying mechanism of parasitic reactions towards surface reconstructions of cathode materials is not well understood. In this work, we controlled the Li_(2)CO_(3) impurity content on LiNi_(0.83)Mn_(0.1)Co_(0.07)O_(2) cathodes using air, tank-air, and O_(2) synthesis environments. Home-built high-precision leakage current and on-line electrochemical mass spectroscopy experiments verify that Li_(2)CO_(3) impurity is a significant promoter of parasitic reactions on Ni-rich cathodes. The rate of parasitic reactions is strongly correlated to Li_(2)CO_(3) content and severe performance deterioration of Ni83 cathodes.The post-mortem characterizations via high-resolution transition electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiles reveal that parasitic reactions promote more Ni reduction and O deficiency and even rock-salt phase transformation at the surface of cathode materials. Our observation suggests that surface reconstructions have a strong affiliation to parasitic reactions that create chemically acidic environment to etch away the lattice oxygen and offer the electrical charge to reduce the valence state of transition metal. Thus, this study advances our understanding on surface reconstructions of Nirich cathodes and prepares us for searching for rational strategies.展开更多

However, results remain unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVE: This manuscript reviews technique progress and problems in 3D reconstruction of rat spinal tracts, as well as 3D reconstruction of human spinal tracts. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: Using the keywords "rat, spinal tracts, three-dimensional reconstruction", the PubMed database was searched for English articles pertaining to 3D reconstruction of the rat spinal tract that were published between January 1996 and January 2007. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned keywords in Chinese were also used to search the CNK1 database for articles that were published between January 1999 and January 2007. Inclusion criteria: manuscripts that addressed the study of 3D reconstruction of the rat spinal tract and review articles. Exclusion criteria: old and repetitive articles. All manuscripts were initially evaluated, followed by extensive review. LITERATURE EVALUATION: A total of 154 related manuscripts were collected; a total of 27 were evaluated and reviewed for the present review. One manuscript assessed rat behavioral functions, four were experimental reports addressing micro-3D reconstruction techniques, ten were experiment reports about image analysis of rat corticospinal tracts, and twelve were experiment articles related to image processing of serial spinal cord sections. DATA SYNTHESIS: Rat spinal cord sections were obtained through section staining or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, specifically localizing the inner tracts. Software was used to construct 3D reconstruction from the serial sections to observe and analyze rat spinal cord structures. The rat spinal cord is small, with complicated inner tracts, which makes accurate 3D reconstruction difficult. CONCLUSION: The assembly of 3D reconstructions from rat spinal cord serial sections and the visualization of the inner tracts are imperative for studying rat spinal cord diseases.展开更多

It is shown that:(1) The Kong 2 Member can be divided into seven types according to the distribution patterns of reservoir spaces: felsic shale with intergranular micron pores, felsic shale with intergranular fissures, felsic shale with intergranular pores, hybrid shale with intergranular pores and fissures, hybrid shale with intergranular pores, clay-bearing dolomitic shale with intergranular pores, and clay-free dolomitic shale with intergranular pores.(2) The reservoir of the intergranular fracture type has better storage capacity than that of intergranular pore type. For reservoirs with storage space of intergranular pore type, the dolomitic shale reservoir has the best storage capacity, the hybrid shale comes second, followed by the felsic shale.(3) The felsic shale with intergranular fissures has the best storage capacity and percolation structure, making it the first target in shale oil exploration.(4) The large volume FIB-SEM 3D reconstruction method is able to characterize a large shale volume while maintaining relatively high spatial resolution, and has been demonstrated an effective method in characterizing the 3D storage space in strongly heterogeneous continental shales.展开更多

文摘The dense and accurate measurement of 3D texture is helpful in evaluating the pavement function.To form dense mandatory constraints and improve matching accuracy,the traditional binocular reconstruction technology was improved threefold.First,a single moving laser line was introduced to carry out global scanning constraints on the target,which would well overcome the difficulty of installing and recognizing excessive laser lines.Second,four kinds of improved algorithms,namely,disparity replacement,superposition synthesis,subregion segmentation,and subregion segmentation centroid enhancement,were established based on different constraint mechanism.Last,the improved binocular reconstruction test device was developed to realize the dual functions of 3D texture measurement and precision self-evaluation.Results show that compared with traditional algorithms,the introduction of a single laser line scanning constraint is helpful in improving the measurement’s accuracy.Among various improved algorithms,the improvement effect of the subregion segmentation centroid enhancement method is the best.It has a good effect on both overall measurement and single pointmeasurement,which can be considered to be used in pavement function evaluation.

文摘BACKGROUND For treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma(HCCA),the rate of radical resection is low and prognosis is poor,and preoperative evaluation is not sufficiently accurate.3D visualization has the advantage of giving a stereoscopic view,which makes accurate resection of HCCA possible.AIM To establish precise resection of HCCA based on eOrganmap 3D reconstruction and full quantification technology.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 73 patients who underwent HCCA surgery.All patients were assigned to two groups.The traditional group received traditional 2D imaging planning before surgery(n=35).The eOrganmap group underwent 3D reconstruction and full quantitative technical planning before surgery(n=38).The preoperative evaluation,anatomical classification of hilar hepatic vessels,indicators associated with surgery,postoperative complications,liver function,and stress response indexes were compared between the groups.RESULTS Compared with the traditional group,the amount of intraoperative blood loss in the eOrganmap group was lower,the operating time and postoperative intestinal ventilation time were shorter,and R0 resection rate and lymph node dissection number were higher(P<0.05).The total complication rate in the eOrganmap group was 21.05%compared with 25.71%in the traditional group(P>0.05).The levels of total bilirubin,Albumin(ALB),aspartate transaminase,and alanine transaminase in the eOrganmap group were significantly different from those in the traditional group(intergroup effect:F=450.400,79.120,95.730,and 13.240,respectively;all P<0.001).Total bilirubin,aspartate transaminase,and alanine transaminase in both groups showed a decreasing trend with time(time effect:F=30.270,17.340,and 13.380,respectively;all P<0.001).There was an interaction between patient group and time(interaction effect:F=3.072,2.965,and 2.703,respectively;P=0.0282,0.032,and 0.046,respectively);ALB levels in both groups tended to increase with time(time effect:F=22.490,P<0.001),and there was an interaction effect between groups and time(interaction effect:F=4.607,P=0.004).In the eOrganmap group,there was a high correlation between the actual volume of intraoperative liver specimen resection and the volume of preoperative virtual liver resection(t=0.916,P<0.001).CONCLUSION The establishment of accurate laparoscopic resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma based on preoperative eOrganmap 3D reconstruction and full quantization technology can make laparoscopic resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma more accurate and safe.

文摘In this paper, we proposed a combined PCA-LPP algorithm toimprove 3D face reconstruction performance. Principal component analysis(PCA) is commonly used to compress images and extract features. Onedisadvantage of PCA is local feature loss. To address this, various studies haveproposed combining a PCA-LPP-based algorithm with a locality preservingprojection (LPP). However, the existing PCA-LPP method is unsuitable for3D face reconstruction because it focuses on data classification and clustering.In the existing PCA-LPP, the adjacency graph, which primarily shows the connectionrelationships between data, is composed of the e-or k-nearest neighbortechniques. By contrast, in this study, complex and detailed parts, such aswrinkles around the eyes and mouth, can be reconstructed by composing thetopology of the 3D face model as an adjacency graph and extracting localfeatures from the connection relationship between the 3D model vertices.Experiments verified the effectiveness of the proposed method. When theproposed method was applied to the 3D face reconstruction evaluation set,a performance improvement of 10% to 20% was observed compared with theexisting PCA-based method.

文摘Fast and accurate measurement of the volume of earthmoving materials is of great signifcance for the real-time evaluation of loader operation efciency and the realization of autonomous operation. Existing methods for volume measurement, such as total station-based methods, cannot measure the volume in real time, while the bucket-based method also has the disadvantage of poor universality. In this study, a fast estimation method for a loader’s shovel load volume by 3D reconstruction of material piles is proposed. First, a dense stereo matching method (QORB–MAPM) was proposed by integrating the improved quadtree ORB algorithm (QORB) and the maximum a posteriori probability model (MAPM), which achieves fast matching of feature points and dense 3D reconstruction of material piles. Second, the 3D point cloud model of the material piles before and after shoveling was registered and segmented to obtain the 3D point cloud model of the shoveling area, and the Alpha-shape algorithm of Delaunay triangulation was used to estimate the volume of the 3D point cloud model. Finally, a shovel loading volume measurement experiment was conducted under loose-soil working conditions. The results show that the shovel loading volume estimation method (QORB–MAPM VE) proposed in this study has higher estimation accuracy and less calculation time in volume estimation and bucket fll factor estimation, and it has signifcant theoretical research and engineering application value.

文摘Nickel-rich transition-metal oxides are widely regarded as promising cathode materials for high-energydensity lithium-ion batteries for emerging electric vehicles. However, achieving high energy density in Ni-rich cathodes is accompanied by substantial safety and cycle-life obstacles. The major issues of Ni-rich cathodes at high working potentials are originated from the unstable cathode-electrolyte interface, while the underlying mechanism of parasitic reactions towards surface reconstructions of cathode materials is not well understood. In this work, we controlled the Li_(2)CO_(3) impurity content on LiNi_(0.83)Mn_(0.1)Co_(0.07)O_(2) cathodes using air, tank-air, and O_(2) synthesis environments. Home-built high-precision leakage current and on-line electrochemical mass spectroscopy experiments verify that Li_(2)CO_(3) impurity is a significant promoter of parasitic reactions on Ni-rich cathodes. The rate of parasitic reactions is strongly correlated to Li_(2)CO_(3) content and severe performance deterioration of Ni83 cathodes.The post-mortem characterizations via high-resolution transition electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiles reveal that parasitic reactions promote more Ni reduction and O deficiency and even rock-salt phase transformation at the surface of cathode materials. Our observation suggests that surface reconstructions have a strong affiliation to parasitic reactions that create chemically acidic environment to etch away the lattice oxygen and offer the electrical charge to reduce the valence state of transition metal. Thus, this study advances our understanding on surface reconstructions of Nirich cathodes and prepares us for searching for rational strategies.

文摘At present,the clinical reconstruction of the auricle usually adopts the strategy of taking autologous costal cartilage.This method has great trauma to patients,poor plasticity and inaccurate shaping.Three-dimensional(3D)printing technology has made a great breakthrough in the clinical application of orthopedic implants.This study explored the combination of 3D printing and tissue engineering to precisely reconstruct the auricle.First,a polylactic acid(PLA)polymer scaffold with a precisely customized patient appearance was fabricated,and then auricle cartilage fragments were loaded into the 3D-printed porous PLA scaffold to promote auricle reconstruction.In vitro,gelatin methacrylamide(GelMA)hydrogels loaded with different sizes of rabbit ear cartilage fragments were studied to assess the regenerative activity of various autologous cartilage fragments.In vivo,rat ear cartilage fragments were placed in an accurately designed porous PLA polymer ear scaffold to promote auricle reconstruction.The results indicated that the chondrocytes in the cartilage fragments could maintain the morphological phenotype in vitro.After three months of implantation observation,it was conducive to promoting the subsequent regeneration of cartilage in vivo.The autologous cartilage fragments combined with 3D printing technology show promising potential in auricle reconstruction.
文摘Three dimensional(3D)echocardiogram enables cardiologists to visua-lize suspicious cardiac structures in detail.In recent years,this three-dimensional echocardiogram carries important clinical value in virtual surgical simulation.However,this 3D echocardiogram involves a trade-off difficulty between accu-racy and efficient computation in clinical diagnosis.This paper presents a novel Flip Directional 3D Volume Reconstruction(FD-3DVR)method for the recon-struction of echocardiogram images.The proposed method consists of two main steps:multiplanar volumetric imaging and 3D volume reconstruction.In the crea-tion of multiplanar volumetric imaging,two-dimensional(2D)image pixels are mapped into voxels of the volumetric grid.As the obtained slices are discontin-uous,there are some missing voxels in the volume data.To restore the structural and textural information of 3D ultrasound volume,the proposed method creates a volume pyramid in parallel with theflip directional texture pyramid.Initially,the nearest neighbors of missing voxels in the multiplanar volumetric imaging are identified by 3D ANN(Approximate Nearest Neighbor)patch matching method.Furthermore,aflip directional texture pyramid is proposed and aggregated with distance in patch matching tofind out the most similar neighbors.In the recon-struction step,structural and textural information obtained from differentflip angle directions can reconstruct 3D volume well with the desired accuracy.Com-pared with existing 3D reconstruction methods,the proposed Flip Directional 3D Volume Reconstruction(FD-3DVR)method provides superior performance for the mean peak signal-to-noise ratio(40.538 for the proposed method I and 39.626 for the proposed method II).Experimental results performed on the cardi-ac datasets demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method for the reconstruc-tion of echocardiogram images.
文摘Based on the Hirota bilinear method,the second extended(3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation is established.By Maple symbolic calculation,lump and lump-kink soliton solutions are obtained.The interaction solutions between the lump and multi-kink soliton,and the interaction between the lump and triangular periodic soliton are derived by combining a multi-exponential function or trigonometric sine and cosine functions with quadratic functions.Furthermore,periodiclump wave solution is derived via the ansatz including hyperbolic and trigonometric functions.Finally,3D plots,2D curves,density plots,and contour plots with particular choices of the suitable parameters are depicted to illustrate the dynamical features of these solutions.

文摘The three-dimensional(3D)model is of great significance to analyze the performance of nonwovens.However,the existing modelling methods could not reconstruct the 3D structure of nonwovens at low cost.A new method based on deep learning was proposed to reconstruct 3D models of nonwovens from multi-focus images.A convolutional neural network was trained to extract clear fibers from sequence images.Image processing algorithms were used to obtain the radius,the central axis,and depth information of fibers from the extraction results.Based on this information,3D models were built in 3D space.Furthermore,self-developed algorithms optimized the central axis and depth of fibers,which made fibers more realistic and continuous.The method with lower cost could reconstruct 3D models of nonwovens conveniently.

文摘BACKGROUND: Recently, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the corticospinal tract has been attempted in treatment for corticospinal tract injury. However, results remain unsatisfactory. OBJECTIVE: This manuscript reviews technique progress and problems in 3D reconstruction of rat spinal tracts, as well as 3D reconstruction of human spinal tracts. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: Using the keywords "rat, spinal tracts, three-dimensional reconstruction", the PubMed database was searched for English articles pertaining to 3D reconstruction of the rat spinal tract that were published between January 1996 and January 2007. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned keywords in Chinese were also used to search the CNK1 database for articles that were published between January 1999 and January 2007. Inclusion criteria: manuscripts that addressed the study of 3D reconstruction of the rat spinal tract and review articles. Exclusion criteria: old and repetitive articles. All manuscripts were initially evaluated, followed by extensive review. LITERATURE EVALUATION: A total of 154 related manuscripts were collected; a total of 27 were evaluated and reviewed for the present review. One manuscript assessed rat behavioral functions, four were experimental reports addressing micro-3D reconstruction techniques, ten were experiment reports about image analysis of rat corticospinal tracts, and twelve were experiment articles related to image processing of serial spinal cord sections. DATA SYNTHESIS: Rat spinal cord sections were obtained through section staining or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, specifically localizing the inner tracts. Software was used to construct 3D reconstruction from the serial sections to observe and analyze rat spinal cord structures. The rat spinal cord is small, with complicated inner tracts, which makes accurate 3D reconstruction difficult. CONCLUSION: The assembly of 3D reconstructions from rat spinal cord serial sections and the visualization of the inner tracts are imperative for studying rat spinal cord diseases.

文摘This study combines large volume three-dimensional reconstruction via focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy(FIB-SEM) with conventional scanning electron microscope(SEM) observation, automatic mineral identification and characterization system(AMICS) and large-area splicing of SEM images to characterize and classify the microscopic storage space distribution patterns and 3D pore structures of shales in the second member of the Paleogene Kongdian Formation(Kong 2) in the Cangdong Sag of the Bohai Bay Basin. It is shown that:(1) The Kong 2 Member can be divided into seven types according to the distribution patterns of reservoir spaces: felsic shale with intergranular micron pores, felsic shale with intergranular fissures, felsic shale with intergranular pores, hybrid shale with intergranular pores and fissures, hybrid shale with intergranular pores, clay-bearing dolomitic shale with intergranular pores, and clay-free dolomitic shale with intergranular pores.(2) The reservoir of the intergranular fracture type has better storage capacity than that of intergranular pore type. For reservoirs with storage space of intergranular pore type, the dolomitic shale reservoir has the best storage capacity, the hybrid shale comes second, followed by the felsic shale.(3) The felsic shale with intergranular fissures has the best storage capacity and percolation structure, making it the first target in shale oil exploration.(4) The large volume FIB-SEM 3D reconstruction method is able to characterize a large shale volume while maintaining relatively high spatial resolution, and has been demonstrated an effective method in characterizing the 3D storage space in strongly heterogeneous continental shales.
