Abstract. With the rapid development of drone technology and digital camera technology, the method of obtaining high-precision coordinates based on UAV aerial photogrammetry technology is popular. The plane coordinate accuracy of the aerial image of the drone has been able to meet the needs of practical applications, but the elevation accuracy is generally low. Aiming at the low elevation accuracy of UAV aerial photogrammetry, a multi-face function fitting method based on Vondrak filter optimization was proposed. The improved fitting model was used to obtain the elevation correction value of the aerial image, thereby obtaining high-precision image elevation data. In this paper, based on the traditional multi-face function fitting method, some known points were used to model and find the difference between the measured elevation value and the measured elevation. The Vondrak filter was used to smooth the fitting result. Finally, a small number of known elevation points were used for checking, so that the obtained elevation was compared with the actual elevation. The experimental comparison showed that the improved multi-face function fitting method used Vondrak filter was improved by 34.76% compared with the quadric surface fitting, and improved by 14.48% compared with the optimized cubic surface fitting method. Research shows that the multi-faceted function method based on Vondrak filtering is superior to the traditional elevation correction method. The experiment verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the improved method, and provides some reference value for the research of aerial image elevation correction model.

The structure of a protein plays a pivotal role in determining its function. Often, the protein surface’s shape and curvature dictate its nature of interaction with other proteins and biomolecules. However, marked by corrugations and roughness, a protein’s surface representation poses significant challenges for its curvature-based characterization. In the present study, we employ unsupervised machine learning to segment the protein surface into patches. To measure the surface curvature of a patch, we present an algebraic sphere fitting method that is fast, accurate, and robust. Moreover, we use local curvatures to show the existence of “shape complementarity” in protein-protein, antigen-antibody, and protein-ligand interfaces. We believe that the current approach could help understand the relationship between protein structure and its biological function and can be used to find binding partners of a given protein.

In order to improve the automation of end-hole drilling process in the production of suture needles with thread, a high-precision subpixel-based drilling method is proposed. According to the edge detection principle in mathematical morphology, combined with the characteristics of the magnified images of the ends of suture needles to be drilled, the morphological edge detection operators with variable structural elements are constructed to achieve noise suppression and fully extract the detailed information of edges of images of needle end holes to be drilled. Then, the subdivision method of spatial moments is adopted to realize the subpixel positioning of pixel-level edges. Finally, least squares fitting method is used to achieve the high-precision positioning of center of needle end hole to be drilled. The experimental results of the 0.5 mm needle samples show that the drilling method proposed in this study has a concentricity error no more than ± 0.2 μm and an average drilling time of 0.65S. Moreover, the method also boasts good real-time performance and stability and meets the automated production needs of drilling process of suture needles with thread.

Timing forms the basis of wireless communication systems. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology has strict requirements for synchronization performance, and timing errors lead to interference between subcarriers and symbols. Although cyclic prefix (CP) can relax the timing requirement, high precision timing is still necessary and can release the pressure on CP. Due to the uncertainty of signal arrival, there is a sampling offset between the sampling sample’s timing and the real timing, which can be large in the narrowband system with a low sampling rate. In this paper, we propose a parabolic equation fitting method to improve the timing precision in narrowband systems that have two times the rate of the Nyquist sampling rate. The proposed timing method is easy to implement, with low additional complexity compared to traditional timing detection and is based on traditional direct correlator output.

With the higher requirement for clock accuracy in power system, the accuracy and stability of wild area punctuality in GPS cannot meet the demands of the high–precision measuring instruments in power system. Firstly, this paper establishes the mathematical model of crystal oscillator clock error using polynomial fitting method. Then, it estimates the parameters of polynomial model with generalized least squares method. Thirdly, it updates the error-model of crystal oscillator clock dynamically for modifying its predicted error. The result shows, this method can not only predict accurate time error, but also filter out random errors well in GPS.
