This work uses the 2-D C5G7 benchmark to verify the accuracy of the MOCUM code, a parallel neutronics program based on the method of characteristics (MOC) for solving arbitrary core geometry. Compared to the MCNP results, MOCUM k-eff, maximum assembly and pin power percentage errors are 0.02%, −0.06%, and 0.64%, respectively. The results demonstrate the high accuracy of the MOCUM code. The calculation uses a total of 56 threads, and the runtime on dual Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 CPUs is 26 minutes, with speed up higher than 50 times. The sensitivity study of various MOC parameters using the calculation of the C5G7 benchmark problem is also performed. The study reveals that C5G7 requires the usage of 48 or more azimuthal angles. The strong flux gradient and the heterogeneous effects need fine unstructured meshes to resolve. The simulation uses 258 million zones with an average mesh size of 0.016 cm2. The investigation of the polar angle quadrature indicates that Leonard polar angle performs slightly better than Gauss-Legendre and Tabuchi polar angles and more than three polar angles are not necessary. In addition, parameter sensitivity study shows that coarse parameters are prone to introduce error to the neutron flux but not k-eff.

In computer graphics, Stereo Vision has been a research hotspot for many years, and it is been widely used in many areas. Stereo Vision is a technique which utilizes computer to simulate human eye system. In order to achieve this simulation, two main problems need to be solved: camera calibration and stereo matching. We focus on stereo matching in this paper. After years of development some achievements have been made in stereo matching, but some problems remain unsolved. The two most important things concerned in stereo vision trend to be contradictory: accuracy and efficiency. This paper presents a method called Advanced-Census which is a good combination of SAD and Census. When finding corresponding pixel in left and right image, SAD can get high accuracy with low speed and Census have the opposite result. Advanced-Census has advantages of both SAD and Census. It retains the speed of Census while having the accuracy of SAD. Although it has the speed of Census but not enough for practical applications, so we speed up Advanced-Census using multi-thread technique and edge detection. After speeding up, Advanced-Census gets nearly real-time performance.

The particle–particle (PP) model has a growing number of applications in plasma simulations, because of its high accuracy of solving Coulomb collisions. One of the main issues restricting the practical use of the PP model is its large computational cost, which is now becoming acceptable thanks to state-of-art parallel computing techniques. Another issue is the singularity that occurs when two particles are too close. The most effective approach of avoiding the singularity would be to simulate particles with only like charges plus a neutralizing field, such that the short-range collisions are equivalent to those of using unlike charges. In this paper, we introduce a way of adding the neutralizing field by using the analytical solution of the electric field in the domain filled with uniformly distributed charges, for applications with homogeneous and quasi-neutral plasmas under a reflective boundary condition. Two most common Cartesian domain geometries, cubic and spherical, are considered. The model is verified by comparing simulation results with an analytical solution of an electron–ion temperature relaxation problem, and a corresponding simulation using unlike charges. In addition, it is found that a PP simulation using like charges can achieve a significant speed-up of 100 compared with a corresponding simulation using unlike charges, due to the capability of using larger time steps while maintaining the same energy conservation.

This article puts forward a simplified method of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG for short) model innovatively based on the DFIG control principle. This paper establishes two different degrees of simplification models with equivalence of the converter model and the generator model respectively, and compares the operating performance of each model under the same operating condition. The simulation results show that, the two simplified models have high accuracy, and speed up the simulation efficiency effectively, which is suitable for the study of large-scale wind power generation in power system.

This paper used the PCA based method to build a face recognition system. At first, PAC provided a linear transformation matrix between the high and low dimensional spaces, then multi-dimensional Euclidean distance were used to rebuild residual to reduce the number of the obtained dimensions, speed up and high accuracy, which simplified the process of face recognition. Simulation results proved this algorithm is efficient.

Observations of the precipitation of buildings and structures of industrial enterprises are part of geodetic monitoring, which is carried out both during the construction of the facility and during the operational period. Systematic geodetic measurements in the framework of monitoring is of great importance to ensure the safe operation of the engineering facility and in some cases can pre-vent man-made accidents, environmental disasters. The article presents the results of determining the absolute values of sediment foundations of buildings, structures and equipment of one of the thermal power plants under construction. The peculiarity of the measurements on the object is the use of fan-shaped trigonometric leveling, which allowed to significantly speed up the implementa-tion of the field stage of work. Leveling was performed by electronic total station Leica TS-06 with the accuracy of measuring the vertical angles of 2ʹʹ. Residuals of closed polygons and field control measurements at the station showed high accuracy of trigonometric leveling, comparable with geo-metric leveling class II.

Current efforts aim to accelerate cadastral mapping through innovative and automated approaches and can be used to both create and update cadastral maps. This research aims to automate the detection of visible land boundaries from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery using deep learning. In addition, we wanted to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of programming-based deep learning compared to commercial software-based deep learning. For the first case, we used the convolutional neural network U-Net, implemented in Keras, written in Python using the TensorFlow library. For commercial software-based deep learning, we used ENVINet5. UAV imageries from different areas were used to train the U-Net model, which was performed in Google Collaboratory and tested in the study area in Odranci, Slovenia. The results were compared with the results of ENVINet5 using the same datasets. The results showed that both models achieved an overall accuracy of over 95 %. The high accuracy is due to the problem of unbalanced classes, which is usually present in boundary detection tasks. U-Net provided a recall of 0.35 and a precision of 0.68 when the threshold was set to 0.5. A threshold can be viewed as a tool for filtering predicted boundary maps and balancing recall and precision. For equitable comparison with ENVINet5, the threshold was increased. U-Net provided more balanced results, a recall of 0.65 and a precision of 0.41, compared to ENVINet5 recall of 0.84 and a precision of 0.35. Programming-based deep learning provides a more flexible yet complex approach to boundary mapping than software-based, which is rigid and does not require programming. The predicted visible land boundaries can be used both to speed up the creation of cadastral maps and to automate the revision of existing cadastral maps and define areas where updates are needed. The predicted boundaries cannot be considered final at this stage but can be used as preliminary cadastral boundaries.
