A Self-calibration Bundle Adjustment Algorithm Based on Block Matrix Cholesky Decomposition Technology

In this study,the problem of bundle adjustment was revisited,and a novel algorithm based on block matrix Cholesky decomposition was proposed to solve the thorny problem of self-calibration bundle adjustment.The innovation points are reflected in the following aspects:①The proposed algorithm is not dependent on the Schur complement,and the calculation process is simple and clear;②The complexities of time and space tend to O(n)in the context of world point number is far greater than that of images and cameras,so the calculation magnitude and memory consumption can be reduced significantly;③The proposed algorithm can carry out self-calibration bundle adjustment in single-camera,multi-camera,and variable-camera modes;④Some measures are employed to improve the optimization effects.Experimental tests showed that the proposed algorithm has the ability to achieve state-of-the-art performance in accuracy and robustness,and it has a strong adaptability as well,because the optimized results are accurate and robust even if the initial values have large deviations from the truth.This study could provide theoretical guidance and technical support for the image-based positioning and 3D reconstruction in the fields of photogrammetry,computer vision and robotics.

RUAP:Random Rearrangement Block Matrix-Based Ultra-Lightweight RFID Authentication Protocol for End-Edge-Cloud Collaborative Environment

Cloud computing provides powerful processing capabilities for large-scale intelligent Internet of things(IoT)terminals.However,the massive realtime data processing requirements challenge the existing cloud computing model.The edge server is closer to the data source.The end-edge-cloud collaboration offloads the cloud computing tasks to the edge environment,which solves the shortcomings of the cloud in resource storage,computing performance,and energy consumption.IoT terminals and sensors have caused security and privacy challenges due to resource constraints and exponential growth.As the key technology of IoT,Radio-Frequency Identification(RFID)authentication protocol tremendously strengthens privacy protection and improves IoT security.However,it inevitably increases system overhead while improving security,which is a major blow to low-cost RFID tags.The existing RFID authentication protocols are difficult to balance overhead and security.This paper designs an ultra-lightweight encryption function and proposes an RFID authentication scheme based on this function for the end-edge-cloud collaborative environment.The BAN logic proof and protocol verification tools AVISPA formally verify the protocol’s security.We use VIVADO to implement the encryption function and tag’s overhead on the FPGA platform.Performance evaluation indicates that the proposed protocol balances low computing costs and high-security requirements.

AN IMPROVED FAST BLIND DECONVOLUTION ALGORITHM BASED ON DECORRELATION AND BLOCK MATRIX

In order to alleviate the shortcomings of most blind deconvolution algorithms,this paper proposes an improved fast algorithm for blind deconvolution based on decorrelation technique and broadband block matrix.Althougth the original algorithm can overcome the shortcomings of current blind deconvolution algorithms,it has a constraint that the number of the source signals must be less than that of the channels.The improved algorithm deletes this constraint by using decorrelation technique.Besides,the improved algorithm raises the separation speed in terms of improving the computing methods of the output signal matrix.Simulation results demonstrate the validation and fast separation of the improved algorithm.

Determination of the early Paleozoic accretionary complex in Southwestern Yunnan, China: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Proto-Tethys Ocean

Accretionary complex study provides important knowledge on the subduction and the geodynamic processes of the oceanic plate,which represents the ancient ocean basin extinction location.Nevertheless,there exist many disputes on the age,material source,and tectonic attribute of the Lancang Group,located in Southwest Yunnan,China.In this paper,the LA-ICP-MS detrital zircon U‒Pb chronology of nine metamorphic rocks in the Lancang Group was carried out.The U‒Pb ages of the three detrital zircons mainly range from 590-550 Ma,980-910 Ma,and 1150-1490 Ma,with the youngest detrital zircons having a peak age of about 560 Ma.The U‒Pb ages of the six detrital zircons mainly range from 440-460 Ma and 980-910 Ma,and the youngest detrital zircon has a peak age of about 445 Ma.In the Lancang Group,metamorphic acidic volcanic rocks,basic volcanic rocks,intermediate-acid intrusive rocks,and high-pressure metamorphic rocks are exposed in the form of tectonic lens in schist,rendering typical melange structural characteristics of“block+matrix”.Considering regional deformation and chronology,material composition characteristics,and the previous data,this study thinks the Lancang Group may be an early Paleozoic tectonic accretionary complex formed by the eastward subduction of the Changning-Menglian Proto-Tethys Ocean,which provides an important constraint for the Tethys evolution.

An interference suppression algorithm for cognitive bistatic airborne radars

Interference suppression is a challenge for radar researchers, especially when mainlobe and sidelobe interference coexist. We present a comprehensive anti-interference approach based on a cognitive bistatic airborne radar. The risk of interception is reduced by lowering the launch energy of the radar transmitting terminal in the direction of interference;main lobe and sidelobe interferences are suppressed via cooperation between the two radars. The interference received by a single radar is extracted from the overall radar signal using multiple signal classification(MUSIC), and the interference is cross-located using two different azimuthal angles. Neural networks allowing good, non-linear nonparametric approximations are used to predict the location of interference, and this information is then used to preset the transmitting notch antenna to reduce the likelihood of interception. To simultaneously suppress mainlobe and sidelobe interferences, a blocking matrix is used to mask mainlobe interference based on azimuthal information, and an adaptive process is used to suppress sidelobe interference. Mainlobe interference is eliminated using the data received by the two radars. Simulation verifies the performance of the model.

Construction and Analysis of Structured Preconditioners for Block Two-by-Two Matrices

For the large sparse block two-by-two real nonsingular matrices, we establish a general framework of structured preconditioners through matrix transformation and matrix approximations. For the specific versions such as modified block Jacobi-type, modified block Gauss-Seidel-type, and modified block unsymmetric (symmetric) Gauss-Seidel-type preconditioners, we precisely describe their concrete expressions and deliberately analyze eigenvalue distributions and positive definiteness of the preconditioned matrices. Also, we show that when these structured preconditioners are employed to precondition the Krylov subspace methods such as GMRES and restarted GMRES, fast and effective iteration solvers can be obtained for the large sparse systems of linear equations with block two-by-two coefficient matrices. In particular, these structured preconditioners can lead to high-quality preconditioning matrices for some typical matrices from the real-world applications.

YAMDROK MELANGE,SOUTH TIBET

Yamdrok melange occurs south of, and parallel to, the Yarlung—Zangbo ophiolites, extending several hundreds of kilometres with a width of several to tens of kilometres. Areas near Baisa and Rilang in the Gyangze district were chosen for detailed investigation in this study. Three months of field mapping (1∶1000 and 1∶50000) has been followed by laboratory investigation to extract radiolarians from cherty blocks and matrix material. Laboratory work is continuing..Field investigations in the Baisa area near Gyangze indicate the presence of three melange facies:broken formation, matrix\|rich facies, and block\|in\|matrix melange. Broken formation is characterized by disruption of layering by means of boudinage and pinching\|and\|swelling and dispersal of blocks within the finer\|grained shales due to layer\|parallel extension. Broken formation occurs mostly as dispersed but more\|or\|less traceable lenses within a foliated matrix. A transition from broken formation to typical block\|in\|matrix melange is observed in the field. Further disruption of broken formation leads to the formation of typical block\|in\|matrix melange either, by later shearing, or by suspected mud diapirism. Matrix\|rich facies is characterized by a dominance of shale matrix containing small granules of sandstone and other lithologies. This facies commonly is subject to later deformation, with disruption of the primary foliation into sigmoidal structures. Block\|in\|matrix facies is the most common melange facies and is characterized by blocks of different sizes, shapes and lithologies either encased in, or floating on, relatively finer\|grained arenaceous\|argillaceous matrix. Blocks range in size from several centimeters to several hundreds of meters, and have various shapes from phacoidal, elongate, to irregular. The blocks are mainly composed of varicolored cherts, greywacke and limestone as well as igneous rocks including serpentinite and basalt breccia. The matrix is mainly composed of dark argillaceous shales and siliceous shales, and partly of yellowish green greywacke. The injection or intrusion of mud matrix into blocks is quite common in this melange facies.

The Insphere of a Tetrahedron

A contiguous derivation of radius and center of the insphere of a general tetrahedron is given. Therefore a linear system is derived. After a transformation of it the calculation of radius and center can be separated from each other. The remaining linear system for the center of the insphere can be solved after discovering the inverse of the corresponding coefficient matrix. This procedure can also be applied in the planar case to determine radius and center of the incircle of a triangle.

THE EXPONENTIAL OF QUASI BLOCK-TOEPLITZ MATRICES

The matrix Wiener algebra,W_(N):=M_(N)(W)of order N>0,is the matrix algebra formed by N×N matrices whose entries belong to the classical Wiener algebraWof functions with absolutely convergent Fourier series.A block-Toeplitz matrix T(a)=[A_(i,j)]i,j≥0is a block semi-infinite matrix such that its blocks A_(i,j) are finite matrices of order N,A_(i,j)=A^(r,s) whenever i-j=r-s and its entries are the coefficients of the Fourier expansion of the generator a:T→M_(N)(C).Such a matrix can be regarded as a bounded linear operator acting on the direct sum of N copies of L^(2)(T).We show that exp(T(a))differes from T(exp(a))only in a compact operator with a known bound on its norm.In fact,we prove a slightly more general result:for every entire function f and for every compact operator E,there exists a compact operator F such that f(T(a)+E)=T(f(a))+F.We call these T(a)+E′s matrices,the quasi block-Toeplitz matrices,and we show that via a computation-friendly norm,they form a Banach algebra.Our results generalize and are motivated by some recent results of Dario Andrea Bini,Stefano Massei and Beatrice Meini.
