DOA估计算法性能分析及仿真

分析了几种常见空间谱估计算法的结构,提出了一种未知信源数的高分辨DOA估计算法。该算法继承了求根MUSIC算法优越的性能,直接利用阵列接收数据的协方差矩阵,无须预判信源个数和进行特征值分解,实现高分辨谱估计,同时在信噪比较小时,仍能保持较高的角度分辨力。最后通过大量的计算机仿真实验比较了各种算法的性能,证明了新算法理论的正确性和有效性。     

Falkner-Skan流空间演化的二次稳定性研究

依据Floquet理论建立三维亚谐扰动的控制方程，研究Falkner-Skan流的二次稳定性问题。采用高精度的谱方法进行数值模拟，结合边界层特性有效地配置边界条件，引入不同类型压力梯度，研究在压力梯度下的二维有限振幅的Tollmien-Schlichting（TS）波对三维亚谐扰动的产生、发展和演化的作用和影响。结果表明，顺压梯度的存在可以减缓二次不稳定的发生和演化，而逆压梯度却加速了二次不稳定性。

Education and public outreach program for IHY – A global approach

Education and public outreach (EPO) is one of the four components of the International Heliophysical Year (IHY). It is fundamental in achieving one of IHY’s primary objectives which is to “demonstrate the beauty, relevance and significance of Space and Earth science to the world.”     

Mental spatial transformations of objects and perspective

This study sought evidence for the independenceof two classes of mental spatialtransformation: object-based spatialtransformations and egocentric perspectivetransformations. Two tasks were designed toselectively elicit these two transformationsusing the same materials, participants, andtask parameters: one required same-differentjudgments about pairs of pictures, while theother required left-right judgments aboutsingle pictures. For pictures of human bodies,the two tasks showed strikingly differentpatterns of response time as a function ofstimulus orientation. Moreover, acrossindividuals, the two tasks had differentrelationships to psychometric tests of spatialability. The chronometric and individualdifference data converge withneuropsychological and neuroimaging data insuggesting that different mental spatialtransformations are performed by dissociableneural systems.     

Geometric structures of frames of reference and natural language semantics

This article aims at formal specifications of reference systems in spatial cognition. It concentrates on two roles of reference systems connected to spatial language: reference systems resolving ambiguities and reference systems forming a basis for the classification of linguistic terms. Although coordinate systems are often seen as candidates for the geometric structure of reference systems, it is shown here that they do not appear in the explanations that go into the details. An analysis of the German terms vor, hinter, rechts and links (in front of, in back of, right, left) presents an alternative model for the geometric structure of spatial reference systems.

Choice zones: architecturally relevant areas of interest

A new type of area of interest (AOI) termed “choice zones” is proposed, that is relevant for eye tracking research in the built environment. Choice zones are an ex ante measure; this is in contrast to many existing definitions of AOIs which are data-driven. Choice zones are defined algorithmically using space-geometric parameters. The validity of the concept is tested against fixation data from an urban navigation experiment in which participants chose between alternative paths. Findings show that choice zones account for 90% of the fixations clusters. The merit of the measure for applied studies in built environment research is discussed.     

Relation algebras over containers and surfaces: An ontological study of a room space

Recent research in geographic information systems hasbeen concerned with the construction of algebras tomake inferences about spatial relations by embeddingspatial relations within a space in which decisionsabout compositions are derived geometrically. Wepursue an alternative approach by studying spatialrelations and their inferences in a concrete spatialscenario, a room space that contains such manipulableobjects as a box, a ball, a table, a sheet of paper,and a pen. We derive from the observed spatialproperties an algebra related to the fundamentalspatial concepts of containers and surfaces and showthat this container-surface algebra holds allproperties of Tarski's relation algebra, except forthe associativity. The crispness of the compositionscan be refined by considering the relative size of theobjects) and their roles (i.e., whether it isexplicitly known that the objects are containers orsurfaces).
