However, due to the complexity of SAR imaging mechanism, interpreting targets in SAR images is a tough problem. This paper presents a new aircraft interpretation method based on the joint time-frequency analysis and multi-dimensional contrasting of basic structures. Moreover, SAR data acquisition experiment is designed for interpreting the aircraft. Analyzing the experiment data with our method, the result shows that the proposed method largely makes use of the SAR data information. The reasonable results can provide some auxiliary support for the SAR images manual interpretation.展开更多

To overcome the problem of rigid structures appearing to have the same spectral structure in the time domain, time-frequency Blind Source Separation (BSS) can be used in combination with image morphology to separate the rigid scattering components of different objects. Based on a highlight model, the separation of the rigid scattering structure of objects with time-frequency distribution is deduced. Using a morphological filter, different characteristics in a Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) observed for single auto term and cross terms can be simplified to remove any cross-term interference. By selecting time and frequency points of the auto terms signal, the accuracy of BSS can be improved. A simulation experimental has been used to analyze the feasibility of the new method, with changing the pulse width of the transmitted signal, the relative amplitude and the time delay parameter. And simulation results show that the new method can not only separate rigid scattering components, but can also separate the components when elastic scattering and rigid scattering exist at the same time. Experimental results confirm that the new method can be used in separating the rigid scattering structure of underwater objects.展开更多

This paper focuses mainly on visual comfort affected by characteristics of disparity for multiple objects. To find the relationship between disparity distribution and visual comfort perception, several subject evaluation experiments are done. The study contains two spatial distribution types of disparity: 1) only one of the foreground objects has zero disparity; 2) one of the foreground objects has positive disparity, while the other one has negative disparity. The experimental results and relative regression analysis provide appropriate relationship between disparity distribution and visual comfort for both conditions, which is significant to meet the applicant field in S3 D content acquisition, display adjustment and quality evaluation.展开更多

Multichannel analyses of surface waves survey was also deployed to map variations in engineering properties of the solid waste and underlying subsurface, and to constrain the interpretations of top of bedrock. The 2-D resistivity images through the waste suggest rainwater seeps through the cap cover system of the solid waste landfill, and moisture content within the solid waste increases with solid waste burial depth. The resistivity anomalies displayed by the soil and bedrock directly underneath the solid waste suggests a lateral component to moisture infiltrating at the toe of the landfill, which is flowing inward to the base of solid waste structural low. The 1-D shear wave velocity profiles obtained from the multichannel analyses of surface waves survey helped interpret the top of bedrock underneath the solid waste, where top of bedrock is difficult to map using electrical resistivity tomography, as shallow fractured bedrock is moist and displays comparable resistivity values to that of overlying soil. Not surprisingly, the top of bedrock is readily identified on the electrical resistivity tomography profiles in places where subsurface is relatively dry. The deployment of the combined non- invasive, cost and time effective geophysical surveys, along with engineering judgement on available site history data, has reasonably identified potential landfill seepage pathways. The methodology presented could be used in similar site investigation settings.展开更多

The main advantages of this method, as compared to existing techniques, are: better reliability; reproducibility; ease of manipulation. Such an approach provides a means of measuring the rate of spherulite growth. In this study, isotactic polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS)/PP, and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)/PP have been studied. The results show that the technology of image analysis is very useful in the study of the kinetics of crystallization of polymer.展开更多

It is the first time that we look attime-frequency distribution images from the point of images. Based on this, a new method forapplying image processing technology for diagnosing and state monitoring for internal combustionengines is presented in this paper. A valve fault diagnosis model is set up by image matching, whichis realized on a four-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engine. At the same time, some notes arepresented in this paper. It has been proved that it is of no good effect to diagnose with histogramsof time-frequency images generated by cylinder head vibration signals that have been processed witha wavelet packet algorithm. The reason is given in this paper. Comparisons of diagnosing effect arecarried out between noise-added signals and original signals. It has little effect on diagnosingresults after signals have been added with noise. The results show that this method has a clearphysical meaning and is of good engineering practicability, feasibility, good precision and highspeed.展开更多
