It is widely believed that the analysis accuracy of the method can be substantially improved by increasing the zoom multiple, however, with the zoom multiple increases, the frequency estimation accuracy may decline sometimes in practices. Aiming at the problems above, this paper analyzes the sources of frequency estimation error when a harmonic signal mixed with and without noise is processed using the FT continuous zoom analysis. According to the characteristics that the local maximum of the zoom spectrum may be wrongly selected when the signal is corrupted with noise, the number of wrongly selected spectrum lines is deduced under different signal-to-noise ratio and local zoom multiple, and then the maximum frequency estimation error is given accordingly. The validity of the presented analysis is confirmed by simulations results. The frequency estimation accuracy of this method will not improve any more under the influence of noise, and there is a best zoom multiple, when the zoom multiple is larger than the best zoom multiple; the maximum frequency estimation error will fluctuate back and forth. The best zoom multiple curves under different signal-to-noise ratios given provide a theoretical basis for the choice of the appropriate zoom multiples of the FT continuous zoom analysis method in engineering applications.展开更多

A nylon rope linking a motor is tied, encircling the notch in the metal ringer. While the motor is operating, the rope can shrink or release to change the focal length of the lens. A calculation method is developed to obtain the focal length and the zoom ratio. The testing is carried out in succession. The testing values are compared with the calculated ones, and they tally with each other well. Finally, the imaging performance of the all-silicone lens is demonstrated. The all-silicone lens has potential uses in cellphone cameras, notebook cameras, micro monitor lenses, etc.展开更多

However, the fine structure of high resolution spectrum in a narrow bandwidth is required in some applications. If regular FFT is still used to figure out the high resolution spectrum, it will result in addition of data and at last sharply increase of computation and storage. Therefore, FFT is inefficient and a new method must be put forward. In the paper, the principle of zoom FFT technique based on complex modulation, its application to development of SLF/ELF receiver and how to obtain high resolution spectrum using the new technique are introduced in detail and also the theoretical and test results are presented.展开更多

A problem is faced due to the quality of both scanned documents and originally used paper, which results in problems in converting such images to text. In addition, font type and size, contrast and background darkness have an adverse effect on the accuracy of the resulted text. Thus, an investigation into the relationship between scanned document zoom and scanning resolution in Dots per Inch (DPI) for a special case and type of scanned forms is carried out to enable design of an algorithm that takes into account such cases. It is found that a much higher level of zooming and resolution is needed to achieve acceptable recognition for the special case of dark, low contrast, small font forms. It is also found that the optimum zooming level is set by the number of recognized words as they are more difficult to learn and analyze.展开更多

In surface fitting,we consider not only the relationship of corresponding pixels between the original image and the enlarged image, but also the neighbor pixels in the enlarged image according to the local structure of original image. Furthermore, during surface fitting, more interpolation constraints are used in the new algorithm for improving the precision of the super sampling pixels. The experimental results show that the new method outperforms the previous methods which based on surface fitting.展开更多
