Vertical Localization

Indoor localization, an emerging technology in location based service (LBS), is now playing a more and more important role both in commercial and in civilian industry. Global position system (GPS) is the most popular solution in outdoor localization field, and the accuracy is around 10 meter error in positioning. However, with complex obstacles in buildings, problems rise in the “last mile” of localization field, which encourage a momentum of indoor localization. The traditional indoor localization system is either range-based or fingerprinting-based, which requires a lot of time and efforts to do the predeployment. In this paper, we present a 3-dimensional on-demand indoor localization system (3D-ODIL), which can be fingerprint-free and deployed rapidly in a multistorey building. The 3D-ODIL consists of two phases, vertical localization and horizontal localization. On vertical direction, we propose multistorey differential (MSD) algorithm and implement it to fulfill the vertical localization, which can greatly reduce the number of anchors deployed. We use enhanced field division (EFD) algorithm to conduct the horizontal localization. EFD algorithm is a range-free algorithm, the main idea of which is to dynamically divide the field within different signature area and position the target. The accuracy and performance have been validated through our extensive analysis and systematic experiments.

In Japan, the study on the development of a 3-dimensional base isolation system to be applied to a nuclear power plant, which requires supreme safety against severe earthquakes, has been carried out since 2000. An idea with the concept of a cable reinforced air spring was proposed as the 3-dimensional base isolation device. The dimension of the air spring applying to the actual power plant is 9 meters in the outer-diameter and 3.5 meters in height. The allowable half strokes are respectively 1.5 meters for the horizontal direction and 0.5 meters for the vertical directions. The supporting weight for a single device is 52MN, where the inner air pressure is about 1.2MPa. This device enables to realize three-dimensional base isolation with a single device, whose characteristics is a natural period of over 4 seconds in the horizontal direction and over 3 seconds in the vertical direction. Furthermore, this device does not require precision mechanical parts just common building materials, which are steel, cable wire, polyester fabric and a rubber sheet. Therefore, the construction cost for this device could be reduced effectively. In order to confirm the performance of the proposed device, experimental tests using the three dimensional shaking table were carried out on the proposed cable reinforced 3-dimensional base isolation air spring, whose outer diameter is 2 meters, being 1/4.5 scale of the actual size. The weight of approximately 392kN including a 4-story steel frame was loaded on the test specimen in order to create inner air pressure of 0.157MPa. As a result, the device was confirmed to function smoothly in three dimensions with natural periods of 1.8 seconds in the horizontal direction and 1.4 seconds in the vertical direction, and is considered that the proposed system can be applied to actual power plants.

Proposed Model

Access points in wireless local area networks are deployed in many indoor environments. Device-free wireless localization systems based on available received signal strength indicators have gained considerable attention recently because they can localize the people using commercial off-the-shelf equipment. Majority of localization algorithms consider two-dimensional models that cause low positioning accuracy. Although three-dimensional localization models are available, they possess high computational and localization errors, given their use of numerous reference points. In this work, we propose a three-dimensional indoor localization system based on a Bayesian graphical model. The proposed model has been tested through experiments based on fingerprinting technique which collects received signal strength indicators from each access point in an offline training phase and then estimates the user location in an online localization phase. Results indicate that the proposed model achieves a high localization accuracy of more than 25% using reference points fewer than that of benchmarked algorithms.

In transmission electron microscopy, the 3-dimensional structure of an object is usually obtained in one of two ways. For objects which can be included in one specimen, as for example with elements included in freeze- dried whole mounts and examined with a high voltage microscope, stereo pairs can be obtained which exhibit the 3-D structure of the element. For objects which can not be included in one specimen, the 3-D shape is obtained by reconstruction from serial sections. However, without stereo imagery, only detail which remains constant within the thickness of the section can be used in the reconstruction; consequently, the choice is between a low resolution reconstruction using a few thick sections and a better resolution reconstruction using many thin sections, generally a tedious chore. This paper describes an approach to 3-D reconstruction which uses stereo images of serial thick sections to reconstruct an object including detail which changes within the depth of an individual thick section.

Projection Angle

Three-dimensional (3D) microstructure visualization on the electron microscope requires that the sample be tilted to different positions to collect a series of projections. This tilting should be performed rapidly for on-line stereo viewing and precisely for off-line tomographic reconstruction. Usually a projection series is collected using mechanical stage tilt alone. The stereo pairs must be viewed off-line and the 60 to 120 tomographic projections must be aligned with fiduciary markers or digital correlation methods. The delay in viewing stereo pairs and the alignment problems in tomographic reconstruction could be eliminated or improved by tilting the beam if such tilt could be accomplished without image translation.A microscope capable of beam tilt with simultaneous image shift to eliminate tilt-induced translation has been investigated for 3D imaging of thick (1 μm) biologic specimens. By tilting the beam above and through the specimen and bringing it back below the specimen, a brightfield image with a projection angle corresponding to the beam tilt angle can be recorded (Fig. 1a).

The inheritance and innovation of ancient architecture decoration art is an important way for the development of the construction industry. The data process of traditional ancient architecture decoration art is relatively backward, which leads to the obvious distortion of the digitalization of ancient architecture decoration art. In order to improve the digital effect of ancient architecture decoration art, based on neural network, this paper combines the image features to construct a neural network-based ancient architecture decoration art data system model, and graphically expresses the static construction mode and dynamic construction process of the architecture group. Based on this, three-dimensional model reconstruction and scene simulation experiments of architecture groups are realized. In order to verify the performance effect of the system proposed in this paper, it is verified through simulation and performance testing, and data visualization is performed through statistical methods. The result of the study shows that the digitalization effect of the ancient architecture decoration art proposed in this paper is good.

The Paris avant-garde milieu from which both Cirque Calder/Calder's Circus and Painlevé’s early films emerged was a cultural intersection of art and the twentieth-century life sciences. In turning to the style of current scientific journals, the Paris surrealists can be understood as engaging the (life) sciences not simply as a provider of normative categories of materiality to be dismissed, but as a companion in apprehending the “reality” of a world beneath the surface just as real as the one visible to the naked eye. I will focus in this essay on two modernist practices in new media in the context of the history of the life sciences: Jean Painlevé’s (1902–1989) science films and Alexander Calder's (1898–1976) work in three-dimensional moving art and performance—the Circus. In analyzing Painlevé’s work, I discuss it as exemplary of a moment when life sciences and avant-garde technical methods and philosophies created each other rather than being classified as separate categories of epistemological work. In moving from Painlevé’s films to Alexander Calder's Circus, Painlevé’s cinematography remains at the forefront; I use his film of one of Calder's performances of the Circus, a collaboration the men had taken two decades to complete. Painlevé’s depiction allows us to see the elements of Calder's work that mark it as akin to Painlevé’s own interest in a modern experimental organicism as central to the so-called machine-age. Calder's work can be understood as similarly developing an avant-garde practice along the line between the bestiary of the natural historian and the bestiary of the modern life scientist.
