Pixel Brightness

Per-Pixel lighting can greatly improve the computational efficiency because of the model has been completed the hidden and visibility judge processing. However, each pixel brightness values need to recalculate when the viewpoint changes. And per-pixel lighting will still be constrained computational efficiency in the case of greater pixel number. In this paper, a fast calculation method for view-dependent per-pixel lighting under a fixed light source is proposed, and a symmetric relationship between pixel brightness value and specular reflection was given. Finally, the brightness under the current viewpoint can calculate fastly. Experimental results show that this method has an efficient lighting calculation than the method of per-pixel lighting and hardware-accelerated lighting calculation.

The use of unmanned aerial robots has increased exponentially in recent years, and the relevance of industrial applications in environments with degraded satellite signals is rising. This article presents a solution for the 3D localization of aerial robots in such environments. In order to truly use these versatile platforms for added-value cases in these scenarios, a high level of reliability is required. Hence, the proposed solution is based on a probabilistic approach that makes use of a 3D laser scanner, radio sensors, a previously built map of the environment and input odometry, to obtain pose estimations that are computed onboard the aerial platform. Experimental results show the feasibility of the approach in terms of accuracy, robustness and computational efficiency.

Specimens of various sizes are used to determine hydrogen content in deposited metals in such standards as ISO 3690, AWS A 4.3, and GOST 23338 while measuring methods are the same. It causes problems in comparison of experimental results and brings up the following question: what kind of specimen size is optimal to determine hydrogen content? An optimal specimen size was estimated using a calculation method. Experimental and calculation results obtained by using specimens with estimated dimensions were compared to the results obtained by using the specimen with dimensions of 100*25*8 mm to determine hydrogen content in a deposited metal.

Abstract In this paper, we study the analytical and experimental control of a 7-DOF robot manipulator. A model-free decentralized adaptive control strategy is presented for the tracking control of the manipulator. The problem formulation and experimental results demonstrate the computational efficiency and simplicity of the proposed method. The results presented here are one of the first known experiments on a redundant 7-DOF robot. The efficacy of the adaptive decentralized controller is demonstrated experimentally by using the Baxter robot to track a desired trajectory. Simulation and experimental results clearly demonstrate the versatility, tracking performance, and computational efficiency of this method.

Effect Of Light

Gloss is an essential visual property of objects. It is still controversial how well gloss constancy works under different light distributions. In this paper, we conducted three experiments of different light distributions to investigate whether the stable discrimination and gloss constancy of paper occurred with different glossiness levels at the different light source distances and illuminances. The results suggest instability of paper discrimination and gloss perception when both light source distance and illuminance change. Then we tested two additional conditions. One is setting the distance the same and manipulating the illumination. The other is setting the illuminance constant and manipulating the distance, respectively. We further verify that illuminance and specular reflection can affect material and gloss perception, regardless of the width of the highlight region changed by light source distance.

Recent end-to-end CNN-based stereo matching algorithms obtain disparities through regression from a cost volume, which is formed by concatenating the features of stereo pairs. Some downsampling steps are often embedded in constructing cost volume for global information aggregation and computational efficiency. However, many edge details are hard to recover due to the imprudent upsampling process and ambiguous boundary predictions. To tackle this problem without training another edge prediction sub-network, we developed a novel tightly-coupled edge refinement pipeline composed of two modules. The first module implements a gentle upsampling process by a cascaded cost volume filtering method, aggregating global information without losing many details. On this basis, the second module concentrates on generating a disparity residual map for boundary pixels by sub-pixel disparity consistency check, to further recover the edge details. The experimental results on public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Improvement Scheme

The steering arm has recently been frequently broken in a kind of mining truck with Macpherson suspension. To accelerate replacing the broken parts and minimize the economic cost, a fast calculation method for improving the steering arm is proposed in this paper. In this method, the forces on the steering arm are calculated by quasi-static analysis under a low vehicle velocity. Dynamic characteristics of the tire and road are partly included by considering the ranges of the rolling resistance coefficient and friction coefficient from the empirical values, which determines the torque on the steering arm under extreme conditions. The rigid–flexible coupling model for the left steering mechanism in ANSYS Workbench is established and solved to obtain the distribution stress on the steering arm under extreme conditions. Then, the reliability of the simulation results based on this fast calculation method is verified by the experiment. After determining an improvement scheme considering the economic and time cost, the satisfactory strength is obtained. The results illustrate that the strength of the improved steering arm has nearly doubled. Finally, the effectiveness of the improved steering arm is demonstrated by the users’ feedback after it is manufactured, installed, and used.

This paper, based on the Retinex Color Constancy Theory, proposes a novel multi-view image correction algorithm, which correction effect is very effective. Histogram equalization,retinex processing and color restoration are performed for multi-view images,and extract reflectance which describe object intrinsic properties to eliminate un-consistent light source influence.The experimental results show that corrected images not only have high color contract,also have consistent color appearance with others.
