Fast filtering algorithm based on vibration systems and neural information exchange and its application to micro motion robot

This paper develops a fast filtering algorithm based on vibration systems theory and neural information exchange approach. The characters, including the derivation process and parameter analysis, are discussed and the feasibility and the effectiveness are testified by the filtering performance compared with various filtering methods, such as the fast wavelet transform algorithm, the particle filtering method and our previously developed single degree of freedom vibration system filtering algorithm, according to simulation and practical approaches. Meanwhile, the comparisons indicate that a significant advantage of the proposed fast filtering algorithm is its extremely fast filtering speed with good filtering perfi^rmance. Further, the developed fast filtering algorithm is applied to the navigation and positioning system of the micro motion robot, which is a high real-time requirement for the signals preprocessing. Then, the preprocessing data is used to estimate the heading angle error and the attitude angle error of the micro motion robot. The estimation experiments illustrate the high practicality of the proposed fast filtering algorithm.

A novel fast classification filtering algorithm for LiDAR point clouds based on small grid density clustering

Clustering filtering is usually a practical method for light detection and ranging(LiDAR)point clouds filtering according to their characteristic attributes.However,the amount of point cloud data is extremely large in practice,making it impossible to cluster point clouds data directly,and the filtering error is also too large.Moreover,many existing filtering algorithms have poor classification results in discontinuous terrain.This article proposes a new fast classification filtering algorithm based on density clustering,which can solve the problem of point clouds classification in discontinuous terrain.Based on the spatial density of LiDAR point clouds,also the features of the ground object point clouds and the terrain point clouds,the point clouds are clustered firstly by their elevations,and then the plane point clouds are selected.Thus the number of samples and feature dimensions of data are reduced.Using the DBSCAN clustering filtering method,the original point clouds are finally divided into noise point clouds,ground object point clouds,and terrain point clouds.The experiment uses 15 sets of data samples provided by the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing(ISPRS),and the results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the other eight classical filtering algorithms.Quantitative and qualitative analysis shows that the proposed algorithm has good applicability in urban areas and rural areas,and is significantly better than other classic filtering algorithms in discontinuous terrain,with a total error of about 10%.The results show that the proposed method is feasible and can be used in different terrains.

Designing simultaneous multichannel receivers based on fast filter bank

A scheme to design a simultaneous multichannel receiver is proposed to process multichannel signals in parallel, which is achieved by exploiting the attractive characteristics of a fast filter bank（ FFB）, such as cascaded structure, high frequency selectivity and lowcomputational complexity. Based on the minimization of the objective function, quantified in terms of the total number of multiplications required, subject to prescribed allowable ripples in the passband and stopband, the impulse response coefficients of the prototype filter in each stage are obtained to meet the requirements of the overall specifications for each channel at the receiver side. Simulations and experimental results on the frequency modulation（ FM） broadcast mutlichannel signal receiving system with the FM range from88 to 108 MHz, built upon the proposed FFB structure, are performed to verify its performance. Those results indicate that the proposed scheme is efficient in FM audio indexing applications and has a lower computational complexity, which is approximately 66. 4% of the weighted overlap and add（ WOLA） filter banks based solution.

Digital Channelization Technology for HF Communication Base on Fast Filter Bank

Channelization typically realized by digital filter banks is an important topic in high frequency(HF) communication and software defined radios(SDR) areas. Channelization has a rigorous requirement for the characteristic of frequency response, e.g., steep transitional band and sharp decay. To address this issue, we investigated the feasibility and implementation of applying fast filter bank(FFB) in channelization in this paper. We analyzed the butterfly structure of FFB similar with fast Fourier transform(FFT), in which prototype sub-filters are cascaded to achieve a low complexity. Hence, it is suitable for designing filter bank with steep transitional band and sharp decay in stop-band. Moreover, we designed a pipelined structure of FFB to achieve a balance between area and performance. Design example shows that FFB has lower computational complexity compared with the other filter banks.

Effective implementation of the fast labeled multi-Bernoulli(FLMB)filter is addressed for target tracking with interval measurements.Firstly,a sequential Monte Carlo(SMC)implementation of the FLMB filter,SMC-FLMB filter,is derived based on generalized likelihood function weighting.Then,a box particle(BP)implementation of the FLMB filter,BP-FLMB filter,is developed,with a computational complexity reduction of the SMC-FLMB filter.Finally,an improved version of the BP-FLMB filter,improved BP-FLMB(IBP-FLMB)filter,is proposed,improving its estimation accuracy and real-time performance under the conditions of low detection probability and high clutter.Simulation results show that the BP-FLMB filter has a great improvement of the real-time performance than the SMC-FLMB filter,with similar tracking performance.Compared with the BP-FLMB filter,the IBP-FLMB filter has better estimation performance and real-time performance under the conditions of low detection probability and high clutter.

Effects of Addition of Bee Pollen on Water Holding Capacity of Pork

[ Objective] To explore the effects of different proportion of bee pollen on the water holding capacity of pork in Duroc Landrace x Yorkshire growing-finishing pigs in order to determine the optimal proportion. [ Method] A total of 80 Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire growing-finishing pigs, weighing （10.0 ± 1.0） kg, were randomly divided into five groups. The experimental period was 120 d including the 5-day pre-feecling period. The corn-soybean meal was not replaced during the whole period. All pigs had free access to feed and water. The pigs were fasting for 24 h but not prohibited from feed before the beginning. Group I was the control group reared with the diet not supplemented bee pollen. The pigs in group II, III ,IV and V were reared with the diet supplemented bee pollen at the concentration of 1%, 3%, 5% and 7%, respectively. After slaughtering, eye muscle was used for determination of water holding capacity through fast filter paper method, drip loss method, cooking loss method and Na- pole yield determination method. [ Resultl With the increase of the proportion of bee pollen, the water holding capacity of pork was first good and then poor. The addition of bee pollen at the concentration of 5% significantly reduced the drip loss of pork and the water holding capacity which was detected by fast filter paper method, but the cooking loss and Napole yield were not significantly influenced. [ Condmion] The bee pollen can effectively improve the water holding capacity of pork in Duroc x Landrace x Yorkshire growing-finishing pigs, and the optimal proportion is 5%.

Aiming at the inaccurate transmission estimation problem of dark channel prior image dehazing algorithm in the sudden change area of depth of field and sky area,a dehazing algorithm using adaptive dark channel fusion and sky compensation is proposed.Firstly,according to the characteristics of minimum filtering of large window scale and small window scale in the dark channel prior,the fused dark channel is obtained by weighted fusion of the approximate depth of field relationship,thus obtaining the primary transmission.Secondly,use the down-sampling to optimize the primary transmission combined with gray scale image of haze image by fast joint bilateral filtering,then restore the original image size by up-sampling,and the compensation of the Gaussian function is used in the sky area to obtain corrected transmission.Finally,the improved atmospheric light is combined with atmospheric scattering model to recover haze-free image.Experimental results show that the algorithm can recover a large amount of detailed information of the image,obtain high visibility,and effectively eliminate the halo effect.At the same time,it has a better recovery effect on bright areas such as the sky area.

Curvelet Transform Based on Edge Preserving Filter for Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation

Segmentation of vessel in retinal fundus images is a primary step for the clinical identification for specific eye diseases.Effective diagnosis of vascular pathologies from angiographic images is thus a vital aspect and generally depends on segmentation of vascular structure.Although various approaches for retinal vessel segmentation are extensively utilized,however,the responses are lower at vessel’s edges.The curvelet transform signifies edges better than wavelets,and hence convenient for multiscale edge enhancement.The bilateral filter is a nonlinear filter that is capable of providing effective smoothing while preserving strong edges.Fast bilateral filter is an advanced version of bilateral filter that regulates the contrast while preserving the edges.Therefore,in this paper a fusion algorithm is recommended by fusing fast bilateral filter that can effectively preserve the edge details and curvelet transform that has better capability to detect the edge direction feature and better investigation and tracking of significant characteristics of the image.Afterwards C mean thresholding is used for the extraction of vessel.The recommended fusion approach is assessed on DRIVE dataset.Experimental results illustrate that the fusion algorithm preserved the advantages of the both and provides better result.The results demonstrate that the recommended method outperforms the traditional approaches.

FIFA-Fast Interpolation and Filtering Algorithm for Calculating Dyadic Green’s Function in the Electromagnetic Scattering of Multi-Layered Structures

The dyadic Green’s function in multi-layer structures for Maxwell equations is a key component for the integral equation method,but time consuming to calculate.A novel algorithm,the Fast Interpolation and Filtering Algorithm(FIFA),for the calculation of the dyadic Green’s function in multi-layer structures is proposed in this paper.We discuss in specific details,ready for use in practical calculations of scattering in layer media,how to apply FIFA to calculate various components of the dyadic Green’s function.The algorithm is based on two techniques:interpolation of Green’s function both in the spectral domain and spatial domain,and low pass filter window based acceleration.Compared to the popular Complex Image Method(CIM),FIFA provides the same speed and overcomes several difficulties associated with CIM while being more general and robust.Specifically,there are no limitations on the frequency range,the number of layers in the structure and the type of Green’s functions to be calculated,and moreover,no need to extract surface wave poles from the spectral form of the Green’s function.Numerical results are given to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method.

Modified fast Fourier transform in FBMC for satellite communications

In this paper,a Doppler scaling fast Fourier transform（Doppler-FFT）algorithm for filter bank multi-carrier（FBMC）is proposed,which can efficiently eliminate the impact of the Doppler scaling in satellite communications.By introducing a Doppler scaling factor into the butterfly structure of the fast Fourier transform（FFT）algorithm,the proposed algorithm eliminates the differences between the Doppler shifts of the received subcarriers,and maintains the same order of computational complexity compared to that of the traditional FFT.In the process of using the new method,the Doppler scaling should be estimated by calculating the orbital data in advance.Thus,the inter-symbol interference（ISI）and the inter-carrier interference（ICI）can be completely eliminated,and the signal to interference and noise ratio（SINR）will not be affected.Simulation results also show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a 0.4 d B performance gain compared to the frequency domain equalization（FDE）algorithm in satellite communications.
