Identifying uncertainty sources in measurements-A methodology

The overall purpose of performing measurements in science is to increase knowledge and document about some physical quantity. The measurand has a true value but, except for straightforward counting situations, the true value can never be fully determined. When a quantity is measured, the outcome depends on the measuring system, the measurement procedure, the skill of the operator, the environment and other effects. In practice the uncertainty on the result may arise from many possible sources, including examples such as incomplete definition, sampling, matrix effects and interferences, environmental couditions, uncertainties of weights and volumetric equipment, reference wtlues, approximations and assump- tions incorporated in the measurement method and procedure, and random wlriation. The objective of the paper is how to identify the sources of uncertainty in measurement and their importance on the result.

Most relevant weighted filtering with one-step singular correlation recognition

Based on the recognition of one-step singular correlation and the remedying methods obtained before,the correlation properties of the neighborhood pixels and the characteristics of image de-noising were analyzed.A kind of most relevant weighted filtering method based on one-step singular correlation recognition(OSSC-MRWF)was put forward.The simulation experiments were done and the comparison with some commonly used methods under salt-and-pepper noises was made.The results show that the proposed method can not only effectively recognize salt-and-pepper noises and mend up the noise points,but also protect the original information such as the edge details very well.The accuracy and performance indicators are further improved considerably.

A framework of hybrid authentication for link access under MIH environments

A unified hybrid authentication framework was proposed to provide proactive authentication and re-authentication for media independent handover（MIH）-based multi-wireless access. In addition, a specific protocol distributing a hierarchi- cal key after the proactive authentication from key holder to base station has been proposed. The proposed hybrid authenti- cation framework not only performs proaetive authentication with credentials based on Chameleon hashing, which removes the authentication procedures that exchanges messages with a authentication server, but also performs re-authentication with EAP re-authentication protocol（ERP） that distributes the hierarchical key on the basis of the root key generated by the pro- active authentication.

Implementation of motion estimator algorithm with 1/4 pixel accuracy based on FPGA

After research on the motion estimation algorithm in video coding, a motion estimator algorithm with 1/4 pixel ac- curacy is implemented based on fie/d-programmable gate array （FPGA）. The motion estimation algorithm module is made up of the 1[4 pixel interpolation module with serial input and parallel output, the three step search module and the block match- ing module, which can use relatively less Wiener filters for interpolation operation. Experiment results show that the hard- ware design has less consumption of the logical resource, higher stability and lower power consumption.

Information entropy-based estimation of hand and elbow movements using ECoG signals

A method of estimating hand and elbow movements using electrocorticogram （ECoG） signals is proposed. Using multiple channels, surface electromyogram （EMG） signals and ECoG signals were obtained from patients simultaneously. The estimated movements were those to close and then open the hand and those to bend the elbow inward. The patients were encouraged to perform the movements in accordance with their free will instead of after being induced by external stimuli. Surface EMG signals were used to find movement time points, and ECoG signals were used to estimate the movements. To extract the characteristics of the individual movements, the ECoG signals were divided into a total of six bands （the entire band and the ~, 0, a ,fl and 7 bands） to obtain the information entropy, and the maximum likelihood estimation method was used to estimate the movements. The results of the experiment show that the performance averages 74 % when the ECoG of 7 band is used, which is higher than that when other bands are used, and higher estimation success rates are shown in the 7 band than in other bands. The time of the movements is divided into three time sections based on movement time points, and the ＂Before＂ section, which includes the readiness potential, is compared with the ＂Onset＂ section. In the ＂Before＂ section and the ＂Onset＂ section, estimation success rates are 66 % and 65 %, respectively, and thus it is determined that the readiness potential could can be used.

Test on methane flame velocity in horizontal tube with obstacles

To test flame propagation velocity of gas explosion in a horizontal tube,a set of flame velocity testing system is designed.The system is composed of two parts:a horizontal tube used for methane burning and a flame detection system.The effect of obstacles on flame propagation velocity of methane explosion is tested.Methane volume density is 10% in the tube.The obstacle is the circular ring,2 mm thick.Its blockage ratios are 40%,50% and 60%,respectively.The number of obstacles put in the tube is 1,3,5 and 7.Experimental results show that the obstacle has obviously accelerating effect on flame wave of gas explosion.As the number and blockage ratios of the obstacles increase,flame accelerating became more obviously.When there are seven obstacles,the maximum average flame velocity reaches over 351.2 m/s.When the blockage ratio of three obstacles is 60%,the maximum average flame velocity is 238.9 m/s.

Study on Raman and SERS spectra of filter paper and silica gel plate

Raman spectra and surface-enhanced Raman scattering （SERS） spectra of filter paper and silica gel plate are ob- tained at 785-nm excitation wavelength. The results show that filter paper has thirteen Raman lines in 800 - 1 500 cm 1 and silica gel plate has eight lines in the region of 400 - 1 200 cm-I. The frequencies and Raman active modes are assigned. By comparing their Raman spectra and SERS spectra, we find that the silver colloid could repress the Raman intensities of filter paper and silica gel plate, and reduce their effects on the combination of thin-layer chromatographic （TLC） and SERS. Ac- cording to SERS spectra, the bands at 997 cm 1,1 094 cm I ,1 118 cm-1 ,1 336 cm-1 and 1 378 cm-1 for filter paper and the peak of v l [ SO4] symmetric stretching vibration （--1 017 cm-1 ） for silica gel plate also have high intensities, and those lines should be paid enough attention in TLC-SERS.

Classification of the mining land cover based on density segmentation

The Datun mining area is the test area in this paper,and the purpose is to obtain the mining land cover classification map in 2003.The data source used in this paper is the Landsat enhanced thematic mapper plus(ETM)remote sensing data.By obtaining the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)of the study area,the land cover classification information is extracted using the density segmentation method.Because the results cannot distinguish the construction land and wetland,this paper obtains the humidity information of multi-spectral data through the tasseled cap transformation.From the density segmentation image of humidity information,the construction and wetland types can be clearly distinguished.Finally,combining the two classification maps,the visual interpretation using Landsat ETM fusion image with 15-m resolution helps to get the final classification results.After classification accuracy assessment,the overall accuracy calculated from the classification confusion matrix is 86%.This result can be applied in actual project.

Bounding box based on probability density for the pedestrian tracking

This paper proposes a pedestrian tracking approach using bounding box based on probability densities.It is generally a difficult task to track features like corner points in outdoor images due to complex environment.To solve this problem,the feature points are projected along X and Y direction separately,and a histogram is constructed for each projection,with horizontal axis as positions and vertical axis as the number of feature points that lie on each position.Finally,the vertical axis is normalized for expression as probability.After histogram is constructed,the probability of each feature point is checked with a threshold.A feature point will be ignored if its probability is lower than a threshold,while the remaining feature points are grouped,based on which a bounding box is made.Kanade-Lucas Tomasi(KLT)algorithm is adopted as the tracking algorithm because it is able to track local features in images robustly.The efficiency of the tracking results using this method is verified in real environment test.

Facial model fitting algorithm based on active appearance model

Active appearance model（AAM） is an efficient useful for the subsequent work such as face detection and method for the localization of facial feature points, which is also facial expression recognition. In this paper, we mainly discuss the AAMs based on principal component analysis （PCA）. We also propose an efficient facial fitting algorithm, which is named inverse compositional image alignment （ICIA）, to eliminate a considerable amount of computation resulting from traditional gradient descent fitting algorithm. Finally, 3D facial curvature is used to initialize the location of facial feature, which helps select the parameters of initial state for the improved AAM.

Study on TRV of circuit breaker in two substation operational ways and its countermeasure

To verify a vacuum breaker's feasibility,when a transformer substation chooses a vacuum circuit breaker,it takes two different actual operational ways to cut off a transformer.This paper,using the power system computer aided design/electro magnetic transient in DC system(PSCAD/EMTDC)software,simulates the substation system and studies transient recovery voltage(TRV)caused by the two different ways which can cut off a with load transformer or a no-load transformer.Simulation and calculation results show that TRV indexes of the first way are much higher than that of the second one,and their TRV indexes are both in a permissible range.The breaker is proved to be available.Besides,this paper proves that paralleling resistance has a good effect when the indexes exceed the standard.The resistance value depends on specific circumstances.

Application of multi-GRNN with a gating network in stock prices forecast

This paper proposes the generalized regression neural network(GRNN)model and multi-GRNN model with a gating network by selecting the data of Shanghai index,the stocks of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank(SPDB),Dongfeng Automobile and Baotou Steel.We analyze the two models using Matlab software to predict the opening price respectively.Through building a softmax excitation function,the multi-GRNN model with a gating network can obtain the best weights.Using the data of the four groups,the average of forecasting errors of 4 groups by GRNN neural model is 0.012 208,while the average of the multi-GRNN models's with a gating network is 0.002 659.Compared with the real data,it is found that the both results predicted by the two models have small mean square prediction errors.So the two models are suitable to be adopted to process a large quantity of data,furthermore the multi-GRNN model with a gating network is better than the GRNN model.

Glide landmark detection using band-limited energy ratio contours

A detection system for American English glides/w y r 1] in a knowledge-based automatic speech recognition system is presented. The method uses detection of dips in band-limited energy to total energy ratios, instead of detecting dips along the unmodified band-limited energy contours. By using band-limited energy ratio, the dip detection is applicable in not only intervocalic regions but also in non-intervocalic regions. A Gaussian mixture model（GMM） based classifier is then used to separate the detected vowels and nasals. This approach is tested using the TIMIT corpus and results in an overall detection rate of 69.5 %, which is a 4.7 % absolute increase in detection rate compared with an hidden Markov model （HMM） based phone recognizer.
