Vein visualization enhancement by dual-wavelength phase-locked denoising technology

Visual near-infrared imaging equipment has broad applications in various fields such as venipuncture,facial injections,and safety verification due to its noncontact,compact,and portable design.Currently,most studies utilize near-infrared single-wavelength for image acquisition of veins.However,many substances in the skin,including water,protein,and melanin can create significant background noise,which hinders accurate detection.In this paper,we developed a dual-wavelength imaging system with phase-locked denoising technology to acquire vein image.The signals in the effective region are compared by using the absorption valley and peak of hemoglobin at 700nm and 940nm,respectively.The phase-locked denoising algorithm is applied to decrease the noise and interference of complex surroundings from the images.The imaging results of the vein are successfully extracted in complex noise environment.It is demonstrated that the denoising effect on hand veins imaging can be improved with 57.3%by using our dual-wavelength phase-locked denoising technology.Consequently,this work proposes a novel approach for venous imaging with dual-wavelengths and phase-locked denoising algorithm to extract venous imaging results in complex noisy environment better.

Anti-Spoofing:Integrated Information Authentication of BeiDou-ⅡCivil Navigation Message

The BeiDou-Ⅱcivil navigation message(BDⅡ-CNAV)is transmitted in an open environment and no information integrity protection measures are provided.Hence,the BDⅡ-CNAV faces the threat of spoofing attacks,which can lead to wrong location reports and time indication.In order to deal with this threat,we proposed a scheme of anti-spoofing for BDⅡ-CNAV based on integrated information authentication.This scheme generates two type authentication information,one is authentication code information(ACI),which is applied to confirm the authenticity and reliability of satellite time information,and the other is signature information,which is used to authenticate the integrity of satellite location information and other information.Both authentication information is designed to embed into the reserved bits in BDⅡ-CNAV without changing the frame structure.In order to avoid authentication failure caused by public key error or key error,the key or public key prompt information(KPKPI)are designed to remind the receiver to update both keys in time.Experimental results indicate that the scheme can successfully detect spoofing attacks,and the authentication delay is less than 1%of the transmission delay,which meets the requirements of BDⅡ-CNAV information authentication.

GNSS spoofing detection for single antenna receivers via CNR variation monitoring

In this paper,a method for spoofing detection based on the variation of the signal’s carrier-to-noise ratio(CNR)is proposed.This method leverages the directionality of the antenna to induce varying gain changes in the signals across different incident directions,resulting in distinct CNR variations for each signal.A model is developed to calculate the variation value of the signal CNR based on the antenna gain pattern.This model enables the differentiation of the variation values of the CNR for authentic satellite signals and spoofing signals,thereby facilitating spoofing detection.The proposed method is capable of detecting spoofing signals with power and CNR similar to those of authentic satellite signals.The accuracy of the signal CNR variation value calculation model and the effectiveness of the spoofing detection method are verified through a series of experiments.In addition,the proposed spoofing detection method works not only for a single spoofing source but also for distributed spoofing sources.

Modified Cepstral Feature for Speech Anti-spoofing

The hidden danger of the automatic speaker verification(ASV)system is various spoofed speeches.These threats can be classified into two categories,namely logical access(LA)and physical access(PA).To improve identification capability of spoofed speech detection,this paper considers the research on features.Firstly,following the idea of modifying the constant-Q-based features,this work considered adding variance or mean to the constant-Q-based cepstral domain to obtain good performance.Secondly,linear frequency cepstral coefficients(LFCCs)performed comparably with constant-Q-based features.Finally,we proposed linear frequency variance-based cepstral coefficients(LVCCs)and linear frequency mean-based cepstral coefficients(LMCCs)for identification of speech spoofing.LVCCs and LMCCs could be attained by adding the frame variance or the mean to the log magnitude spectrum based on LFCC features.The proposed novel features were evaluated on ASVspoof 2019 datase.The experimental results show that compared with known hand-crafted features,LVCCs and LMCCs are more effective in resisting spoofed speech attack.

An externally perceivable smart leaky-wave antenna based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons

Smart antennas have received great attention for their potentials to enable communication and perception functions at the same time.However,realizing the function synthesis remains an open challenge,and most existing system solutions are limited to narrow operating bands and high complexity and cost.Here,we propose an externally perceivable leakywave antenna(LWA)based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons(SSPPs),which can realize adaptive real-time switching between the“radiating”and“non-radiating”states and beam tracking at different frequencies.With the assistance of computer vision,the smart SSPP-LWA is able to detect the external target user or jammer,and intelligently track the target by self-adjusting the operating frequency.The proposed scheme helps to reduce the power consumption through dynamically controlling the radiating state of the antenna,and improve spectrum utilization and avoid spectrum conflicts through intelligently deciding the radiating frequency.On the other hand,it is also helpful for the physical layer communication security through switching the antenna working state according to the presence of the target and target beam tracking in real time.In addition,the proposed smart antenna can be generalized to other metamaterial systems and could be a candidate for synaesthesia integration in future smart antenna systems.

GNSS spoofing detection based on uncultivated wolf pack algorithm

In order to solve the problem that the global navigation satellite system（GNSS） receivers can hardly detect the GNSS spoofing when they are deceived by a spoofer,a model-based approach for the identification of the GNSS spoofing is proposed.First,a Hammerstein model is applied to model the spoofer/GNSS transmitter and the wireless channel.Then,a novel method based on the uncultivated wolf pack algorithm（UWPA） is proposed to estimate the model parameters.Taking the estimated model parameters as a feature vector,the identification of the spoofing is realized by comparing the Euclidean distance between the feature vectors.Simulations verify the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed method.The results show that,compared with the other identification algorithms,such as least square（LS）,the iterative method and the bat-inspired algorithm（BA）,although the UWPA has a little more time-eomplexity than the LS and the BA algorithm,it has better estimation precision of the model parameters and higher identification rate of the GNSS spoofing,even for relative low signal-to-noise ratios.

DeepPOSE:Detecting GPS spoofing attack via deep recurrent neural network

The Global Positioning System(GPS)has become a foundation for most location-based services and navigation systems,such as autonomous vehicles,drones,ships,and wearable devices.However,it is a challenge to verify if the reported geographic locations are valid due to various GPS spoofing tools.Pervasive tools,such as Fake GPS,Lockito,and software-defined radio,enable ordinary users to hijack and report fake GPS coordinates and cheat the monitoring server without being detected.Furthermore,it is also a challenge to get accurate sensor readings on mobile devices because of the high noise level introduced by commercial motion sensors.To this end,we propose DeepPOSE,a deep learning model,to address the noise introduced in sensor readings and detect GPS spoofing attacks on mobile platforms.Our design uses a convolutional and recurrent neural network to reduce the noise,to recover a vehicle's real-time trajectory from multiple sensor inputs.We further propose a novel scheme to map the constructed trajectory from sensor readings onto the Google map,to smartly eliminate the accumulation of errors on the trajectory estimation.The reconstructed trajectory from sensors is then used to detect the GPS spoofing attack.Compared with the existing method,the proposed approach demonstrates a significantly higher degree of accuracy for detecting GPS spoofing attacks.

An improved arctangent algorithm based on phase-locked loop for heterodyne detection system

We present an ameliorated arctangent algorithm based on phase-locked loop for digital Doppler signal processing,utilized within the heterodyne detection system. We define the error gain factor given by the approximation of Taylor expansion by means of a comparison of the measured values and true values. Exact expressions are derived for the amplitude error of two in-phase & quadrature signals and the frequency error of the acousto-optic modulator. Numerical simulation results and experimental results make it clear that the dynamic instability of the intermediate frequency signals leads to cumulative errors, which will spiral upward. An improved arctangent algorithm for the heterodyne detection is proposed to eliminate the cumulative errors and harmonic components. Depending on the narrow-band filter, our experiments were performed to realize the detectable displacement of 20 nm at a detection distance of 20 m. The aim of this paper is the demonstration of the optimized arctangent algorithm as a powerful approach to the demodulation algorithm, which will advance the signal-to-noise ratio and measurement accuracy of the heterodyne detection system.

The spoofing capability of Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)represents an important confrontational capability for navigation security,and the success of planned missions may depend on the effective evaluation of spoofing capability.However,current evaluation systems face challenges arising from the irrationality of previous weighting methods,inapplicability of the conventional multi-attribute decision-making method and uncertainty existing in evaluation.To solve these difficulties,considering the validity of the obtained results,an evaluation method based on the game aggregated weight model and a joint approach involving the grey relational analysis and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution(GRA-TOPSIS)are firstly proposed to determine the optimal scheme.Static and dynamic evaluation results under different schemes are then obtained via a fuzzy comprehensive assessment and an improved dynamic game method,to prioritize the deceptive efficacy of the equipment accurately and make pointed improvement for its core performance.The use of judging indicators,including Spearman rank correlation coefficient and so on,combined with obtained evaluation results,demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method and the optimal scheme by the horizontal comparison of different methods and vertical comparison of evaluation results.Finally,the results of field measurements and simulation tests show that the proposed method can better overcome the difficulties of existing methods and realize the effective evaluation.

Design of radiation hard phase-locked loop at 2.5 GHz using SOS-CMOS

A radiation hard phase-locked loop （PLL） is designed at 2.5 GHz using silicon on sapphire complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process. Radiation hardness is achieved through improving circuit design without sacrificing real estate. Stability is guaranteed by a fully self-bias architecture. The lock time of PLL is minimized by maximizing the loop bandwidth. Frequency tuning range of voltage controlled oscillator is significantly enhanced by a novel load configuration. In addition, multiple bias stages, asynchronous frequency divider, and silicon on sapphire process jointly make the proposed PLL more radiation hard. Layout of this PLL is simulated by Cadence Spectre RF under both single event effect and total induced dose effect. Simulation results demonstrate excellent stability, lock time 〈 600 ns, frequency tuning range [1.57 GHz, 3.46 GHz], and jitter 〈 12 ps. Through comparison with PLLs in literatures, the PLL is especially superior in terms of lock time and frequency tuning range performances.
