压电式压力传感器的动态校准

通常对压电式压力传感器进行静态校准是有困难的。主要原因是放大器输入级的时间常数不够大,产生的电荷易被漏掉,因而输出电压不能保持在常值上。本文叙述了一种压力校准装置,用它可对压电式压力传感器的灵敏度进行绝对法和比较法校准。该装置能在5～10ms的时间内爆发出1高达1MPa的阶跃脉冲压力。压力传感器及其测量系统对此阶跃脉冲压力的响应,用微处理机处理,可自动给出压力灵敏度、响应曲线及其有关参数。校准精度约为1％。

基于一致关联数最大化的航迹关联算法

航迹关联(TTTA)是多传感器数据融合系统的核心模块之一,是系统误差估计和航迹融合的前提和基础。传感器存在的固有系统误差使得目标位置状态估计与真值发生偏离,容易诱发TTTA错误。传统的基于全局最小距离准则的TTTA算法,需要获得较高精度的系统误差估计,来对航迹数据进行误差补偿。针对传感器具有系统误差环境下的TTTA问题,在对TTTA进行间接评估的基础上,定义了一致关联数的概念,提出了一致关联数最大化的TTTA准则,并在稳健交替迭代的框架下完成算法设计。与距离函数不同,一致关联数是一个离散量,放松了对系统误差估计精度的要求。最后,仿真实验验证了所提算法的有效性。     

A salient edges detection algorithm of multi-sensor images and its rapid calculation based on PFCM kernel clustering

Multi-sensor image matching based on salient edges has broad prospect in applications, but it is difficult to extract salient edges of real multi-sensor images with noises fast and accurately by using common algorithms. According to the analysis of the features of salient edges, a novel salient edges detection algorithm and its rapid calculation are proposed based on possibility fuzzy C-means （PFCM） kernel clustering using two-dimensional vectors composed of the values of gray and texture. PFCM clustering can overcome the shortcomings that fuzzy C-means （FCM） cluster- ing is sensitive to noises and possibility C-means （PCM） clustering tends to find identical clusters. On this basis, a method is proposed to improve real-time performance by compressing data sets based on the idea of data reduction in the field of mathematical analysis. In addition, the idea that kernel-space is linearly separable is used to enhance robustness further. Experimental results show that this method extracts salient edges for real multi-sensor images with noises more accurately than the algorithm based on force fields and the FCM algorithm; and the proposed method is on average about 56 times faster than the PFCM algorithm in real time and has better robustness.     

Investigations into sensing characteristics of circular thin-plate electrostatic sensors for gas path monitoring

Circular thin-plate electrostatic sensors are promising in gas path monitoring due to their advantages of non-intrusiveness and easy installation. The spatial sensitivity and filtering effect are two important performance parameters. In this paper, an analytically mathematical model of induced charge on a circular thin-plate electrode is first derived. Then the spatial sensitivity and filtering effect of the circular electrostatic sensor are investigated by numerical calculations. Finally,experimental studies are performed to testify the theoretical results. Both theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that circular thin-plate electrostatic sensors act as a low-pass filter in the spatial frequency domain, and both the spatial filtering effect and the temporal frequency response characteristics depend strongly on the spatial position and velocity of the charged particle. These conclusions can provide guidelines for the optimal design of circular thin-plate electrostatic sensors.
