The results show that the leve of chromatic adapta- tion mainly depends on the average color of adapting field, whereas no obvious change oc- curs when the number of hues and their color differences vary in a complex field. The shifts of perceived color evoked by chromatic adaptation in CIE 1976 L U V color space are approximately proportional to the average color difference between the adapting field and reference field.展开更多

Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform derives desirable facial features to cope with the variation due to the illumination and facial expression changes. By adopting spectral regression and complex fusion technologies respectively, two improved neighborhood preserving discriminant analysis feature extraction methods were proposed to capture the face manifold structures and locality discriminatory information. Extensive experiments have been made to compare the recognition performance of the proposed method with some popular dimensionality reduction methods on ORL and Yale face databases. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

On the basis of comprehensive typical spray noz- zles, a direct spiral double helix converging nozzle （DSDHCN） is proposed, which has the advanta- ges of small volume, light weight, simple structure, and convenient installation. To make the spray nozzle have good performance, and meet the requirements of more efficient fire extinguishing, a nu- merical study is carried out to analyze the internal and external full flow field of nozzle. A gas-liquid two-phase flow is applied to simulate the external full flow field of nozzle with VOF model in fluent software. The simulation results show the real situation of water flow out of the atomization nozzle and the water jet trajectory. Some simulations about middle or low water pressure direct spiral double he- lix converging optimized nozzle have been done in 30bar pressure. The simulation results show that the optimized nozzle structure not only makes the spray droplets have a good cone angle, but also have a sufficient axial velocity,which proves the structure rationality of the proposed optimized nozzle.展开更多

Firstly, a set of reachable paths to each intermediate node from the source node and the sink node based on adjacent matrix transformation are calculated respectively. Then a temporal optimal path is selected by adopting the proposed heuristic method according to a non-linear cost function. When the total number of the accumulated nodes by bidirectional searching reaches n-2, the paths from two directions to an intermediate node should be combined and several paths via different nodes from the source node to the sink node can be obtained, then an optimal path in the whole set of paths can be taken as the output route. Some simulation examples are included to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. In addition, the proposed algorithm can be implemented with parallel computation and thus, the new algorithm has better performance in time complexity than other algorithms. Mathematical analysis indicates that the maximum complexity in time, based on parallel computation, is the same as the polynomial complexity of O(kn2-3kn+k), and some simulation results are shown to support this analysis.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a low-complexity soft DF scheme based on polar codes, which features two key techniques: a low-complexity cyclic redundancy check(CRC) aided list successive cancellation(CALSC) decoder and a soft information calculation method. At the relay node, a low-complexity CALSC decoder is designed to reduce the computational complexity by adjusting the list size according to the reliabilities of decoded bits. Based on the path probability metric of the CALSC decoder, we propose a method to compute the soft information of the decoded bits in CALSC. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme outperforms the soft DF based on low-density parity-check codes and the soft DF with belief propagation or soft cancellation decoder, especially in the case when the source-relay channel is at the high signal-to-ratio region.展开更多

The system deforms the randomness of an input force sequence in proportion to its algorithmic complexity. The authors demonstrate this by numerical analysis of a one-dimensional vibrating elastic solid （the system） on which we apply a maximally-random force sequence （input）. The level of complexity of the system is controlled via external parameters. The output response is the field of displacements observed at several positions on the body. The algorithmic complexity and stochasticity of the resulting output displacement sequence is measured and compared against the complexity of the system. The results show that the higher the system complexity, the more random-deficient the output sequence.展开更多
