High‐quality depth up‐sampling based on multi‐scale SLIC
Authors: Qiao Yiguo , Jiao Licheng , Hou Biao
Published: February 2018

A multi‐scale simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC)‐based depth up‐sampling method is proposed in order to obtain high‐quality depth maps, especially in the case of high up‐sampling rate. The proposed method is implemented hierarchically, where the high‐resolution image is segmented from coarse to fine by using multi‐scale SLIC superpixels. A depth guided discriminant function is defined to distinguish the validity of the segmented superpixels, and only the valid ones will be interpolated each layer. The experimental results show that the proposed method solves the depth missing and the depth confusion problems largely.

Authors: Liu Yu Yang , Zhu Ce , Mao Min
Published: February 2018

Currently, a raw light field image can be captured by a light field camera and decomposed into multi‐views with different perceptual quality. A novel light field compression approach for a light field image is proposed based on this observation, where the raw light field image is decomposed into multi‐views as pseudo‐sequencing frames and reordered according to their perceptual quality. The resulting pseudo‐temporal sequence is then compressed by high‐efficiency video coding (HEVC) encoder. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a better coding performance (up to 28% Bjontegaard delta bit rate reduction (BDBR) savings) compared with state‐of‐the‐art reordering techniques using HEVC.

Authors: Luo Xiaoyuan , Li Jianjin , Jiang Zhongping
Published: February 2018

Cyber‐physical systems are pervasive in every walk of life. The safety performances of these systems are threatened by external malicious attacks and unforeseen failures. In terms of grid structural characteristics and graph theory, this study proposes a new framework to solve the problem of structural vulnerability which is caused by undetectable attacks in power grids. Based on the linear continuous‐time descriptor system model, the digraph associated with structural matrix model for power grid is introduced in detail. To analyse the attack detectability in digraph, a series of basic properties are proposed about digraphs of structural power grids. Then an algorithm is proposed for obtaining the positions of the detection outputs to ensure left‐invertible and observability for grid systems. In addition, an algorithm for judging whether there exists a structural vulnerability for the arrangement of the attack inputs and outputs of power grids is proposed, by which one can find disjoint paths if there exists structural vulnerability. Finally, some examples are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
DoS attack in centralised sensor network against state estimation
Authors: Yang Chao , Yang Wen , Shi Hongbo
Published: February 2018

This study considers a model that a centralised sensor network is attacked by an invader, who launches the denial‐of‐service (DoS) attack on the network. To understand the behaviour of the invader and propose necessary protection accordingly, the authors study how the invader optimises his attack. In the model, the sensors take a measurement of a process and send the measurements to a remote estimator for state estimation. The invader intends to block the communication channels from the sensors to the estimator by the DoS attack in order to degrade the estimation performance. Constrained by a power budget, the invader needs to decide which sensors and at which time instances to attack, with the target that the estimation performance is mostly deteriorated. In this study, two scenarios that the system has a single sensor and has multiple sensors are investigated, respectively. For the system with a single sensor, the analytical result of the optimal attack schedules is given. For the system with multiple sensors, numerical methods are proposed, where the problem is relaxed and transformed into a convex optimisation problem which can be solved by efficient numerical algorithms.
Robust mixed order backstepping control of non‐linear systems
Authors: Gallegos Javier A. , Duarte‐Mermoud Manuel A.
Published: February 2018

Robust backstepping control of non‐linear systems with derivation orders (commensurate or non‐commensurate) lying at interval (0, 2) is proposed in this study. The stability and robustness properties are proved using a linearisation procedure in contrast to the classic recursive Lyapunov approach to backstepping. Vector, adaptive and robustness extensions are then developed to solve general tracking and stabilisation control problems. The adaptive extension is proved with a non‐Lyapunov approach based on inequalities on non‐negative fractional integrals. The mixed‐order nature enables to control integer order systems using fractional operators. Through simulations, it is shown that the performance of the controllers depends on their derivation orders. In particular, for transient behaviour and the root mean square value of the control signal, the fractional controllers proposed exhibit improved responses as compared with the integer ones.
Reproduction of Prof. J.C. West's, ‟Forty years in control”
Authors: West J.C.
Published: February 2018

The large number of control devices which had been invented over the previous two centuries led, by about 1930, to the conception of a control theory with fundamental principles basic to all forms of control. The last war saw the use of this theory to develop sophisticated mechanisms of high precision. The study gives the development of the science and engineering of control over the last 40 years. In engineering, the increasing importance of the effects of non‐linearity is emphasised, and the spinoff resulting in unconventional electrical machines is described including the development of magnetic levitation. During this period control theory has also been introduced into a wide variety of other branches of knowledge. The greatest impact has probably been in medicine, with the body now being regarded functionally as a complex, dynamic control system. The heart–lung combination was eventually seen to be a ‘self‐adaptive’ system, and the study had an effect on engineering design. Other areas described include sociology, economics and management. The basic tenets of the accuracy of measurement, the speed of measurement and ‘dead time’, well established in engineering, are shown to be equally fundamental in management and economics.
On combining active and transfer learning for medical data classification
Authors: Tang Xinyao , Du Bo , Huang Jianzhong , Wang Zengmao , Zhang Lefei
Published: February 2018

This study presents a novel algorithm which combines active learning (AL) and transfer learning for medical data classification. The main idea of the proposed algorithm is iteratively querying a small number of informative unlabelled target samples, and, at the same time, removing the source samples which do not fit with the posterior probability distributions in the target domain, so as to combine the basic idea of AL with transfer learning. The experimental results obtained in the classification of the datasets from the University of California Irvine (UCI) Machine Learning Repository and The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Published: February 2018

Target detection of hyperspectral image (HSI) is a research hotspot in the field of remote sensing. It is of particular importance in many domains, especially in military application. Unsupervised target detection is usually more difficult because there is no prior information about target. Traditional algorithms exploit spectral information, only. This study introduces the idea of saliency detection from the visual technique into HSI processing domain and proposes a novel approach named spectral saliency target detection (SSD). It establishes a novel salient model, which utilises both spatial saliency and spectral saliency. In the framework of SSD, it combines the model with spectral matching algorithm to make it perform well even in situations where the target is concealed and small. A HSI set comprised of eight different scenes with complex background is setup to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The final visible detection results demonstrate that the SSD algorithm outperforms the others. The receiver operation characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve are applied to evaluate the results. The proposed algorithm shows superior and stable performance.

Published: February 2018

A circularly polarised (CP) antenna array with four square radiating patch elements has been introduced here. The array elements are sequentially rotated and have been fed by a simple single‐layer feeding network with sequential phase structure. This feeding network generates successive phase difference at its four outputs. To have a wide CP bandwidth, the proposed method of feeding network has been combined with new simple tuning stubs which are embedded in radiating patch elements. The common reflection coefficient bandwidth () and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth (AR <3 dB) is 1000 MHz which covers 1.5–2.5 GHz frequency band and according to the centre frequency of 1.8 GHz, the frequency bandwidth is ∼55.5%. Furthermore, the peak gain of the proposed antenna array is ∼7.5 dBi at the frequency range of 1.7–2.3 GHz.
Simple chemical reduction route for the synthesis of Cu‐modified Co3O4 nanosheet with enhanced performance as anode material in lithium‐ion batteries
Authors: Yao Wenli , Dai Qinian , Liu Yong
Published: February 2018

Cu‐modified Co3O4 nanosheets were designed and fabricated via a facile two‐step process by a simple microwave‐assisted reaction to synthesise Co3O4 sheets, followed by chemically reducing copper ion on Co3O4 sheets. The structures and morphologies of the obtained sheet‐like Cu‐modified Co3O4 nanomaterials were characterised by X‐ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. As the anode materials for the lithium‐ion battery applications, the Cu‐modified Co3O4 nanosheet electrode delivered an initial discharge capacity of 1208 mAh g−1 and its initial coulombic efficiency was 82.24%, much higher than 74.8% for Co3O4 sheets. More importantly, a reversible capacity of ca. 600 mAh g–1 could be reached at a higher current density of 890 mA g−1. The enhanced electrochemical performance may be attributed the incorporated Cu as well as the porous structure and the sheet‐like morphology of the Co3O4 active materials.

Context. Multiwavelength observations are indispensable in studying disk geometry and dust evolution processes in protoplanetary disks.

Aims. We aim to construct a three-dimensional model of HD 163296 that is capable of reproducing simultaneously new observations of the disk surface in scattered light with the SPHERE instrument and thermal emission continuum observations of the disk midplane with ALMA. We want to determine why the spectral energy distribution of HD 163296 is intermediary between the otherwise well-separated group I and group II Herbig stars.

Methods. The disk was modeled using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code MCMax3D. The radial dust surface density profile was modeled after the ALMA observations, while the polarized scattered light observations were used to constrain the inclination of the inner disk component and turbulence and grain growth in the outer disk.

Results. While three rings are observed in the disk midplane in millimeter thermal emission at ~80, 124, and 200 AU, only the innermost of these is observed in polarized scattered light, indicating a lack of small dust grains on the surface of the outer disk. We provide two models that are capable of explaining this difference. The first model uses increased settling in the outer disk as a mechanism to bring the small dust grains on the surface of the disk closer to the midplane and into the shadow cast by the first ring. The second model uses depletion of the smallest dust grains in the outer disk as a mechanism for decreasing the optical depth at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. In the region outside the fragmentation-dominated regime, such depletion is expected from state-of-the-art dust evolution models. We studied the effect of creating an artificial inner cavity in our models, and conclude that HD 163296 might be a precursor to typical group I sources.

Published: February 2018

An effort to obtain alternative energy is still interesting subject to be studied, especially production of biogas from agriculture waste. This paper was an overview of the latest development of biogas researches from rice husk waste by Solid State Anaerobic Digestion (SSAD). The main obstacle of biogas production from rice husk waste was the lignin content which is very difficult degraded by microbes. Various pretreatments have been conducted, either physically, chemically as well as biologically. The SSAD method was an attractive option because of the low water content of rice husk waste. The biogas yield by SSAD method gave more attractive result compared to Liquid Anaerobic Digestion (LAD) method. Various studies were still conducted in batch mode laboratory scale and also has not found optimum operating conditions. Research on a larger scale such as bench and pilot scale with continuous systems will be an increase trend in the future research.

Published: February 2018

Industrial symbiosis is a collaboration of several industries to share their necessities such material, energy, technology as well as waste management. As a part of industrial ecology, in principle, this system attempts to emulate ecosystem where waste of an organism is being used by another organism, therefore there is no waste in the nature. This system becomes an effort to optimize resources (material and energy) as well as minimize waste. Considerable, in a symbiosis incure material and energy flows among industries. Material and energy in an industry are known as cost carriers, thus flow analysis in this system can be conducted in perspective of material, energy and cost, or called as material flow cost accounting (MFCA) that is an economic and ecological appraisal approach. Previous researches shown that MFCA implementation could be used to evaluate an industry’s environmental-related efficiency as well as in planning, business control and decision making. Moreover, the MFCA has been extended to assess environmental performance of SMEs Cluster or industrial symbiosis in SMEs Cluster, even to make preliminary design of an industrial symbiosis base on a major industry. This paper describes the use of MFCA to asses performance of SMEs industrial symbiosis and to improve the performance.

Published: February 2018

In the current energy and environmental context it is imperative to implement systems based on renewable energy sources in order to reduce energy consumptions worldwide. Solar collectors are studied by many years and many researchers are focusing their attention in order to increase their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Water solar collectors are often implemented for domestic hot water, heating or industrial processes and already have a place on the market. A promising system which is not yet widely known is represented by air solar collectors that could represent an efficient way to use the solar energy with a lower investment cost, a system that can be used in order to preheat the fresh air required for heating, drying, or to maintain a minimum temperature during winter. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on air solar collectors used mainly in buildings, acting as a solar wall. Air solar collectors are roughly classified into two types: glazed and opaque. The present study comprises the solar collector classification, applications and their main parameters with a special focus on opaque solar collectors.

Motivated by the occurrence of the injection of liquids in various technical processes, we study the capillary instability of a liquid jet surrounded by another liquid. The study focuses on the natural developing Rayleigh instability, hence without an imposed perturbation. We also point out the influence of viscosity on the main drop diameter, resulted after jet breakup, and on the breakup length itself. Modifications brought by a decrease of the capillary nozzle are also emphasized for a particular case.
Numerical simulation and comparison of two ventilation methods for a restaurant – displacement vs mixed flow ventilation
Authors: Chitaru George , Berville Charles , Dogeanu Angel
Published: February 2018

This paper presents a comparison between a displacement ventilation method and a mixed flow ventilation method using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. The paper analyses different aspects of the two systems, like the draft effect in certain areas, the air temperatureand velocity distribution in the occupied zone. The results highlighted that the displacement ventilation system presents an advantage for the current scenario, due to the increased buoyancy driven flows caused by the interior heat sources. For the displacement ventilation case the draft effect was less prone to appear in the occupied zone but the high heat emissions from the interior sources have increased the temperature gradient in the occupied zone. Both systems have been studied in similar conditions, concentrating only on the flow patterns for each case.

Authors: Lux Thorsten
Published: February 2018

For the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments detectors with several tens of ktons of detection medium will be needed. Liquid argon (LAr) is ideal for this application since it allows the construction of fully sensitive time projection chambers (TPCs). A mandatory step between the current setups and the final detector for the long baseline experiment is the construction of a large prototype to prove the technical feasibility of the scaling. WA105 with a size of 6×6×6 m3 is this intermediate step for the detector concept of a LAr double phase TPC and will be presented in these proceedings.

Boron-based thermal neutron detectors have recently regained some attention from the instrumentation community as a strong alternative to helium-3 detectors. From the existing concepts exploiting boron layers in position sensitive detectors, the Cascade [1] is the one that takes full advantage of the 2D capabilities of gaseous detectors, with the position resolution not limited by the architecture of the detector. In this work, a proposal for the Cascade detector, based on Thick-GEMs is presented, together with some preliminary studies of the suitable pitch that optimizes the neutron conversion efficiency, while keeping the collection efficiency intact. The characterization of Thick-GEM prototypes produced in Brazil with hole pitch from 0.75 to 3 mm shows that these devices already present a stable performance at low gains, also resulting in fair energy resolution, when cascaded with a standard KaptonTM 50 µm GEM. Results of the first attempts of boron film depositions with Ion Beam Assisted Deposition and characterization by Ion Beam Analysis are also presented.
