Remote-controlled flexible pose measurement system and method for a moving target in wind tunnel

The measurement of position and attitude parameters for the isolated target from a high-speed aircraft is a great challenge in the field of wind tunnel simulation technology. This paper proposes a remote-controlled flexible pose measurement system in wind tunnel conditions for the separation of a target from an aircraft. The position and attitude parameters of a moving object are obtained by utilizing a single camera with a focal length and camera orientation that can be changed based on different measurement conditions. Using this proposed system and method, both the flexibility and efficiency of the pose measurement system can be enhanced in wind tunnel conditions to meet the measurement requirements of different objects and experiments, which is also useful for the development of an intelligent position and attitude measurement system. The position and the focal length of the camera also can be controlled remotely during measurements to enlarge both the vertical and horizontal measurement range of this system. Experiments are conducted in the laboratory to measure the position and attitude of moving objects with high flexibility and efficiency, and the measurement precision of the measurement system is also verified through experiments.

Visual inspection of aircraft skin: Automated pixel-level defect detection by instance segmentation

Skin defect inspection is one of the most significant tasks in the conventional process of aircraft inspection. This paper proposes a vision-based method of pixel-level defect detection, which is based on the Mask Scoring R-CNN. First, an attention mechanism and a feature fusion module are introduced, to improve feature representation. Second, a new classifier head—consisting of four convolutional layers and a fully connected layer—is proposed, to reduce the influence of information around the area of the defect. Third, to evaluate the proposed method, a dataset of aircraft skin defects was constructed, containing 276 images with a resolution of 960 × 720 pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed classifier head improves the detection and segmentation accuracy, for aircraft skin defect inspection, more effectively than the attention mechanism and feature fusion module. Compared with the Mask R-CNN and Mask Scoring R-CNN, the proposed method increased the segmentation precision by approximately 21% and 19.59%, respectively. These results demonstrate that the proposed method performs favorably against the other two methods of pixel-level aircraft skin defect detection.

基于视觉模型和图像特征的遥感图像压缩

遥感图像具有纹理复杂、边缘丰富的特点,通常难以实现高压缩比.统计了图像经过小波变换后在不同方向、不同级别子频带的能量分布.然后基于人类视觉系统(HVS)模型中的对比敏感度函数(CSF)和遥感图像的能量分布特征,提出一种不同频带小波系数的变步长量化方法,并把该方法应用于嵌入式小波图像编码器.实验结果表明,与不采用心理视觉量化的压缩方法相比,在相同压缩比下,峰值信噪比略为降低,但恢复图像的主观质量有一定程度的改善.     

一种基于图割的稠密三维场景重建算法

立体视觉技术是自主探测机器人在未知环境中获取信息的重要手段,通过对可视场景的稠密三维重建实现导航、定位及路径规划等一系列工作。本文在候选点匹配的基础上结合图割理论,首先在世界坐标系建立代表深度信息的网格节点,接着依据区域匹配算法对候选点进行初步筛选,去除大部分相关值较低的节点,建立简化的网格图,最后通过寻找图中最小割来实现能量函数的全局最小,完成稠密的三维场景重建。实验证明,相关阈值γ设为0.6时,简化网格图的重建精度和计算效率达到相对平衡。图割算法解决了候选点测量时潜在的匹配歧义问题,且对低纹理区域有较好的匹配效果。     

Seasonal-to-interannual variability of chlorophyll-a bloom timing associated with physical forcing in the Gulf of Cádiz

Seasonal-to-interannual variability of the winter-spring bloom in the Gulf of Cádiz, eastern North Atlantic, has been investigated using chlorophyll-a remote sensing (CHL). These data have been obtained from the GlobColour project; the temporal coverage extends from September 1997 to December 2010. In this study we develop a generic quantitative approach for describing the temporal variability in the shape of the winter-spring bloom within a region. Variability in both the timing and magnitude of the bloom in the basin has been evaluated as a function of physical properties in the water column such as Mixed Layer Depth (MLD, GODAS model), sea surface temperature (SST, from AVHRR radiometers), photosynthetically-active radiation (PAR, from ocean color data) and euphotic depth (Z_eu, from ocean color data). The analysis indicated that the timing, size and duration of the phytoplankton bloom in this area are largely controlled by both meteorological and oceanographic conditions at different scales; this means that it is likely to vary widely from one year to another.
