Existing methods have some limitations in detection performance, especially when the target size is irregular or the background is complex. In this paper, we propose a pixel-level local contrast measure(PLLCM), which can subdivide small targets and backgrounds at pixel level simultaneously.With pixel-level segmentation, the difference between the target and the background becomes more obvious, which helps to improve the detection performance. First, we design a multiscale sliding window to quickly extract candidate target pixels. Then, a local window based on random walker(RW) is designed for pixel-level target segmentation. After that, PLLCM incorporating probability weights and scale constraints is proposed to accurately measure local contrast and suppress various types of background interference. Finally, an adaptive threshold operation is applied to separate the target from the PLLCM enhanced map. Experimental results show that the proposed method has a higher detection rate and a lower false alarm rate than the baseline algorithms, while achieving a high speed.展开更多
Self Assembled Monolayers(SAMs) of a series of mercapto contained azobenzene derivatives with the structure of C n H 2 n +1 AzoO(CH 2) m SH (where n =4,6,8,10,12; with m =3,5 respectively) were prepared and characteri...Self Assembled Monolayers(SAMs) of a series of mercapto contained azobenzene derivatives with the structure of C n H 2 n +1 AzoO(CH 2) m SH (where n =4,6,8,10,12; with m =3,5 respectively) were prepared and characterized.Wettability measurement of water on the SAMs demonstrates that molecular packing density in the monolayers increases while the alkyl chain in the molecules is lengthened. Both the n and m values have similar contribution to the wetting property of SAMs. The RA IR spectra reveal that the alkyl chains in the SAMs tilt away dramatically from the surface normal direction with the increase in their length. However, the orientation of azobenzene moiety is found to be influenced slightly by the alkyl chain length, which is due to the tenderness of the molecule.展开更多
