This gure is hundreds of times the average sales volume of Chinese novels in the USA. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses of overseas readers' comments on The Three-Body Problem posted on the online platforms of Goodreads and Amazon, this paper concludes that the novel's success overseas lies in its catering to the concerns of overseas readers. The ThreeBody Problem is popular among overseas readership thanks to its re ection on the ultimate existence of mankind, science ction vision & imagination, literary familiarity & identi cation, ideological di erence-triggered cultural curiosity, and a good translation. This paper attempts to interpret Liu Cixin's work on the map of world literature from the perspective of overseas readers' preferences to provide references for contemporary Chinese science ction creation and overseas reception.展开更多

Different color value will be obtained by watching the same surface point of an object from different viewpoints due to specular reflection, and the difference is related to the pos ition of viewpoint. The relationship between the position of viewpoint and the c olor of image is non linear, neural network is introduced to make curve fitting , where the inputs of neural network are only a few calibrated images with obvio us specular reflection. By training the neural network, network model is obtaine d. By inputing an arbitrary virtual viewpoint to the model, the image of the vir tual viewpoint can be computed. By using the method presented here, novel viewpo int image with photo realistic property can be obtained, especially images with obvious specular reflection can accurately be generated. The method is an image based rendering method, geometric model of the scene and position of lighting are not needed.展开更多

The local cur vature of ridges of fingerprint is irregular, so people have the barrier to effe ctively extract the fingerprint curve features to describe fingerprint. This art icle proposes a novel algorithm; it embraces information of few nearby fingerpri nt ridges to extract a new characteristic which can describe the curvature featu re of fingerprint. Experimental results show the algorithm is feasible, and the characteristics extracted by it can clearly show the inner macroscopic curve pro perties of fingerprint. The result also shows that this kind of characteristic i s robust to noise and pollution.展开更多

Since resource selection in job shop scheduling directly influences the qualities and due dates of produc ts and production cost, it is indispensable to take resource selection into acco unt during job shop scheduling. By analyzing the relative characteristics of res ources, an approach of fuzzy decision is proposed for resource selection. Finall y, issues in the application of the approach are discussed.展开更多
