Precise navigation is often performed by sensor fusion of different sensors. Among these sensors, optical sensors use image features to obtain the position and attitude of the camera. Runway relative navigation during final approach is a special case where robust and continuous detection of the runway is required. This paper presents a robust threshold marker detection method for monocular cameras and introduces an on-board real-time implementation with flight test results. Results with narrow and wide field-of-view optics are compared. The image processing approach is also evaluated on image data captured by a different on-board system. The pure optical approach of this paper increases sensor redundancy because it does not require input from an inertial sensor as most of the robust runway detectors.

Current image recognition methods cannot combine the transmission of image data with the interaction of image features, so the steps of image recognition are too independent, and the traditional methods take longer time and cannot complete the image denoising. Therefore, a recognition method of sports training action image based on software defined network (SDN) architecture is proposed. The SDN architecture is used to integrate the image data transmission and interactive process and to optimize the image processing centralization. The network architecture is composed of application layer, control layer, and infrastructure layer. Based on this, the dimension of image sample set is reduced, and the edge detection operator in any direction is constructed. The image edge filter is realized by calculating the response and threshold of image edge by using lag threshold and nonmaximum suppression (NMS). The Hough transform algorithm is improved to optimize the detection range. Extracting the neighborhood feature of sports training action, the recognition of sports training action image based on SDN architecture is completed. Simulation results show that the proposed method takes less time and the image denoising effect is better. In addition, the F1 test results of the proposed method are higher than those of the literature, and the convergence is better. Therefore, the performance of the proposed method is better.

ABSTRACTWe report on the flight test results of an Airbus 320 during novel advanced required navigation performance (RNP) procedures which contain a fixed radius turn that delivers the aircraft onto a short instrument landing system (ILS) precision final. Moreover, the advanced RNP part contains altitude constraints and/or a coded vertical path angle. The approaches were flown automatically with guidance and autothrust as computed by the flight management system. We investigated the use of the fixed radius in conjunction with vertical path options onto (a) the performance of the speed profile for arrival time optimisation, (b) the vertical path during the RNP part of the procedure and (c) the performance of the autoland capability after a curved transition onto an ILS.For the trials, we designed five instrument approaches to a runway equipped with ILS. A RF curve terminates at the ILS intercept point at heights of 550, 750, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ft above aerodrome level and each approach had four different initial approach fixes which corresponded to a track angle change of 30°, 60°, 90° and 180° during the constant radius turn-to-final. We constructed the procedure such that the altitude constraints at initial, intermediate and final approach fix describe a continuous vertical path with minus 2° inclination, transitioning to the –3° glide path of the ILS and intercepting the glide path from below. In all cases, the land mode of the flight guidance computer became active between 316 and 381ft radar altitude. The vertical path following error depended on the coding of the procedure in the database. With coded vertical path angle and altitude constraints, the vertical path following error was never greater than +57 m (above desired flight path) during the RNP part when flown by the automatic flight guidance system without any pilot intervention.

It has been recognized since the earliest days of crystal growth that kinetic processes of all Kinds control the nature of the growth. As the technology of crystal growth has become ever more refined, with the advent of such atomistic processes as molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, sputter deposition, and plasma enhanced techniques for the creation of “crystals” as little as one or a few atomic layers thick, multilayer structures, and novel materials combinations, the need to understand the mechanisms controlling the growth process is becoming more critical. Unfortunately, available techniques have not lent themselves well to obtaining a truly microscopic picture of such processes. Because of its atomic resolution on the one hand, and the achievable wide field of view on the other (of the order of micrometers) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) gives us this opportunity. In this talk, we briefly review the types of growth kinetics measurements that can be made using STM. The use of STM for studies of kinetics is one of the more recent applications of what is itself still a very young field.

Abstract. Image File Searching Based on Color Domination. One characteristic of an image that can be used in image searching process is the composition of the colors. Color is a trait that is easily seen by man in the picture. The use of color as a searching parameter can provide a solution in an easier searching for images stored in computer memory. Color images have RGB values that can be computed and converted into HSL color space model. Use of HSL images model is very easy because it can be calculated using a percent, so that in each pixel of the image can be grouped and named, this can give a dominant values of the colors contained in one image. By obtaining these values, the image search can be done quickly just by using these values to a retrieval system image file. This article discusses the use of the HSL color space model to facilitate the searching for a digital image in the digital image data warehouse. From the test results of the application form, a searching is faster by using the colors specified by the user. Obstacles encountered were still searching with a choice of 15 basic colors available, with a limit of 33% dominance of the color image search was not found. This is due to the dominant color in each image has the most dominant value below 33%.   Keywords: RGB, HSL, image searching Abstrak. Salah satu ciri gambar yang dapat dipergunakan dalam proses pencarian gambar adalah komposisi warna. Warna adalah ciri yang mudah dilihat oleh manusia dalam citra gambar. Penggunaan warna sebagai parameter pencarian dapat memberikan solusi dalam memudahkan pencarian gambar yang tersimpan dalam memori komputer. Warna gambar memiliki nilai RGB yang dapat dihitung dan dikonversi ke dalam model HSL color space. Penggunaan model gambar HSL sangat mudah karena dapat dihitung dengan menggunakan persen, sehingga dalam setiap piksel gambar dapat dikelompokan dan diberi nama, hal ini dapat memberikan suatu nilai dominan dari warna yang terdapat dalam satu gambar. Dengan diperolehnya nilai tersebut, pencarian gambar dapat dilakukan dengan cepat hanya dengan menggunakan nilai tersebut pada sistem pencarian file gambar. Artikel ini membahas tentang penggunaan model HSL color space untuk mempermudah pencarian suatu gambar digital didalam gudang data gambar digital. Dari hasil uji aplikasi yang sudah dibuat, diperoleh pencarian yang lebih cepat dengan menggunakan pilihan warna yang ditentukan sendiri oleh pengguna. Kendala yang masih dijumpai adalah pencarian dengan pilihan 15 warna dasar yang tersedia, dengan batas dominasi warna 33% tidak ditemukan gambar yang dicari. Hal ini disebabkan warna dominan disetiap gambar kebanyakan memiliki nilai dominan di bawah 33%. Kata Kunci: RGB, HSL, pencarian gambar
