Abstract

A spectral cross-domain transfer super-resolution reconstruction method for a multi-domain image. By means of a spectral image cross-domain transfer super-resolution reconstruction method, which is based on cross-domain transferable knowledge learning and rapid target-domain adaptation learning, for a multi-domain image scenario, spectral super-resolution reconstruction from an RGB image to a hyperspectral image is realized. A model structure design based on a transferable dictionary is used to learn cross-domain transferable features; a source-domain pre-training policy based on a shared learnable mask is used to facilitate a model in learning general knowledge for reconstruction; and a model-agnostic meta-learning fine-tuning method is used to learn a universal model with a strong generalization capability, such that the model can adapt to data of a target domain of a test by means of several iterations of test data. The method can mine cross-domain shared knowledge to improve the generalization capability, thereby improving the effect of spectral cross-domain super-resolution reconstruction.

Abstract

This invention relates to a data dimension reduction method based on maximizing a ratio sum for linear discriminant analysis, which belongs to the fields of image classification and pattern recognition. It includes constructing a data matrix, a label vector and a label matrix; calculating a within-class covariance matrix and a between-class covariance matrix; constructing the optimization problem based on maximizing the ratio sum for the linear discriminant analysis; using the alternating direction method of multipliers to obtain the projection matrix which can maximize an objective function. This invention establishes the objective function based on maximizing the ratio sum for the linear discriminant analysis to avoid the problem that the traditional linear discriminant analysis tends to select features with small variances and weak discriminating ability. It can select features which are more conducive to classification. Moreover, this method does not depend on the calculation of the inverse matrix of the within-class covariance matrix and does not require data preprocessing, which improves the adaptability of the data dimensionality reduction method to the original data feature.

A first sub-beamformer and a second sub-beamformer are generated to each filter signals from microphones of the FODMA, wherein the first sub-beamformer is associated with the first sub-beampattern, and the second sub-beamformer is associated with the second sub-beampattern. The steerable beamformer is then generated based on the first sub-beamformer and the second sub-beamformer. The decomposing of the target beampattern into a first sub-beampattern and a second sub-beampattern includes dividing the target beampattern into a sum of a first-order cosine (cardioid) first sub-beampattern and a first-order sinusoidal (dipole) second sub-beampattern.

Abstract

A feature extraction deep neural network (DNN) may be trained based on the minimization of a loss function. A similarity function may be specified to calculate a similarity score for two representations of verbal utterances. A training data set comprising pairs of representations of utterances is received, wherein each one of the pairs of representations of utterances is associated with a corresponding a ground-truth label confirming whether the pair of represented utterances come from a same speaker or not. A respective similarity score may then be calculated for each one of the pairs of representations of utterances. Parameters associated with the DNN may then be updated based on minimizing a loss function associated with an area under a section of a receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve for the similarity scores, wherein the ROC curve section is delimited between a low false positive rate (FPR) value and a high FPR value.

Abstract

Disclosed is a chip-level resonant acousto-optic coupling solid-state wave gyroscope based on MEMS technology. A surface acoustic progressive wave mode sensitive structure and a micro-ring resonant cavity optical detection structure are combined in the gyroscope. Through acousto-optic effect, mechanical strain of the device crystal caused by wave vibration of a primary surface acoustic wave and a secondary surface acoustic wave caused by Coriolis force is converted into a variation in the refractive index of an optical waveguide etched on the device, so that the optical signal transmitted in the waveguide diffracts, thereby generating frequency modulation. Meanwhile, a micro-ring resonant cavity using the resonance principle peels off the frequency change introduced by the primary surface acoustic wave, and obtains an output signal containing external angular velocity information. Based on the proportional relationship between the detection resolution and the quality factor of the micro-ring resonant cavity, the order of magnitude of the interface detection resolution is improved, and the performance indicators of the gyroscope are simultaneously optimized in terms of improving sensitivity and resolution, and its precision is improved.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of micro-sensors, and particularly to a novel MEMS technology-based, chip-level, resonant, acousto-optically coupled, solid-state wave gyroscope. The gyroscope integrates an acoustic surface wave-sensitive structure and a resonant microring resonator optical measurement structure, and applies said structures in a gyroscope. The acousto-optical effect is used to convert mechanical strain on a device crystal caused by a primary acoustic surface wave and a secondary acoustic wave caused by the Coriolis force into a change in refractive index of an optical waveguide etched on the device, causing an optical signal transmitted in the waveguide to diffract, thereby producing a frequency modulation. Meanwhile, a microresonator that uses the principle of resonance separates the frequency change introduced into the primary acoustic surface wave to obtain an output signal containing external angular velocity information. The quality factor of the resonant microring resonator forms a proportional relationship with the measurement resolution, increasing the magnitude of interface measurement resolution. At the same time that aspects such as sensitivity are increased and resolution improved, the performance indexes of the gyroscope are optimized, achieving improvement in the accuracy thereof.

A step-up transformer TM1 boosts a 380-V alternating current and changes it to direct current to charge a pulse capacitor C1 and store energy in the pulse capacitor C1. A discharge thyristor M3 is triggered, and the pulse capacitor C1 releases the energy instantaneously. A stress wave is generated between the primary coil and the secondary coil. The stress wave is transmitted to a fire extinguishing bomb through the stress wave amplifier, to launch the fire extinguishing bomb.
