Oriented object detection in remote sensing images (RSIs) is a significant yet challenging Earth Vision task, as the objects in RSIs usually emerge with complicated backgrounds, arbitrary orientations, multi-scale distributions, and dramatic aspect ratio variations. Existing oriented object detectors are mostly inherited from the anchor-based paradigm. However, the prominent performance of high-precision and real-time detection with anchor-based detectors is overshadowed by the design limitations of tediously rotated anchors. By using the simplicity and efficiency of keypoint-based detection, in this work, we extend a keypoint-based detector to the task of oriented object detection in RSIs. Specifically, we first simplify the oriented bounding box (OBB) as a center-based rotated inscribed ellipse (RIE), and then employ six parameters to represent the RIE inside each OBB: the center point position of the RIE, the offsets of the long half axis, the length of the short half axis, and an orientation label. In addition, to resolve the influence of complex backgrounds and large-scale variations, a high-resolution gated aggregation network (HRGANet) is designed to identify the targets of interest from complex backgrounds and fuse multi-scale features by using a gated aggregation model (GAM). Furthermore, by analyzing the influence of eccentricity on orientation error, eccentricity-wise orientation loss (ewoLoss) is proposed to assign the penalties on the orientation loss based on the eccentricity of the RIE, which effectively improves the accuracy of the detection of oriented objects with a large aspect ratio. Extensive experimental results on the DOTA and HRSC2016 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Tidal forcing excites internal waves in the bulk of the ocean. Deep ocean is an example of a system with continuous stratification subject to large-scale periodic forcing. Owing to specific dispersion relation of internal waves, the domains bounded by sloping boundaries may support wave patterns with wave rays converging to closed trajectories (geometric attractors) as result of iterative focusing reflections. Previously the behavior of kinetic energy in wave attractors has been investigated in two-dimensional domain with comparable depth and length. As the geometric aspect ratio of the domain increases, the dynamic pattern of energy focusing may significantly evolve both in laminar and turbulent regimes. The present paper shows that the energy density in domains with large aspect ratio can significantly increase. In numerical simulations the input forcing has been introduced at global scale by prescribing small-amplitude deformations of the upper bound of the liquid domain. The evolution of internal wave motion in such system has been computed numerically for different values of the forcing amplitude. The behavior of the large-aspect-ratio system has been compared to the well-studied case of the system with depth-to-length ratio of order unity. A number of most typical situations has been analysed in terms of behavior of integral mechanical quantities such as total dissipation, mean kinetic energy and energy fluctuations in laminar and turbulent cases.

<div>Ocean abyss is an example of a system with continuous stratification subject to large-scale tidal forcing. Owing to specific dispersion relation of internal waves, the domains bounded by sloping boundaries may support wave patterns with wave rays converging to closed trajectories (geometric attractors) as result of iterative focusing reflections. Previously the behavior of kinetic energy in wave attractors has been investigated in domains with comparable scales of depth and horizontal length. As the geometric aspect ratio of the domain increases, the dynamic pattern of energy focusing may significantly evolve both in laminar and turbulent regimes. The present paper shows that the energy density in domains with large aspect ratio can significantly increase. In numerical simulations the input forcing has been introduced at global scale by prescribing small-amplitude deformations of the upper bound of the liquid domain. The evolution of internal wave motion in such system has been computed numerically for different values of the forcing amplitude. The behavior of the large-aspect-ratio system has been compared to the well-studied case of the system with depth-to-length ratio of order unity.  A number of most typical situations has been analyzed in terms of behavior of integral mechanical quantities such as total dissipation, mean kinetic energy and energy fluctuations in laminar and turbulent cases. The relative mean kinetic energy (normalized by the kinetic energy of the liquid domain undergoing rigid-body oscillations with the amplitude of the wavemaker), may increase by order of magnitude as compared to low-aspect-ratio system.<br>It was shown previously, that in the case of aspect ratio close to unity, the transition to wave turbulence regime is associated with a cascade of triadic wave-wave interactions. Now it is shown that for large aspect ratios the energy cascade in the system is due to generation of superharmonic waves corresponding to integer (including zero) multiples of the forcing frequency. As forcing amplitude increases beyond certain value, an abrupt change is observed in behavior of relative mean kinetic energy and spectra, accompanied with appearance of additional harmonic components corresponding to half-integer (including 1/2) and integer multiples of the forcing frequency.  </div><div> </div>

Traditional annular seal models are based on bulk flow theory. While these methods are computationally efficient and can predict dynamic properties fairly well for short seals, they lack accuracy in cases of seals with complex geometry or with large aspect ratios (above 1.0). In this paper, the linearized rotordynamic coefficients for a seal with large aspect ratio are calculated by means of a three dimensional CFD analysis performed to predict the fluid-induced forces acting on the rotor. For comparison, the dynamic coefficients were also calculated using two other codes: one developed on the bulk flow method and one based on finite difference method. These two sets of dynamic coefficients were compared with those obtained from CFD. Results show a reasonable correlation for the direct stiffness estimates, with largest value predicted by CFD. In terms of cross-coupled stiffness, which is known to be directly related to cross-coupled forces that contribute to rotor instability, the CFD predicts also the highest value; however a much larger discrepancy can be observed for this term (73% higher than value predicted by finite difference method and 79% higher than bulk flow code prediction). Similar large differences in predictions one can see in the estimates for damping and direct mass coefficients, where highest values are predicted by the bulk flow method. These large variations in damping and mass coefficients, and most importantly the large difference in the cross-coupled stiffness predictions, may be attributed to the large difference in seal geometry (i.e. the large aspect ratio AR>1.0 of this seal model vs. the short seal configuration the bulk flow code is usually calibrated for, using an empirical friction factor).
