Abstract. Affected by factors such as season, illumination, atmospheric and sensor distortion, different satellite images often show obvious color difference, resulting in “stitching seams” at the edge of adjacent images, which seriously affects the application of satellite images. This study proposes a novel color consistency method for optical satellite images utilizing external color reference. Firstly, we improved the dark channel defogging method combining with the atmospheric distribution characteristics of satellite images, and used it to perform atmospheric correction on satellite images; Secondly, we corrected the color of atmospheric corrected satellite images through low-frequency signal replacement. Finally, we use a linear model to establish the relationship between high and low frequency signals, and stretching the high-frequency signal of images through local modelling. We selected two sets of representative experimental data for experiments, both the visual and quantitative obtained excellent results.

This paper presents a new identification method to identify the main errors of the machine tool in time-frequency domain. The low- and high-frequency signals of the workpiece surface are decomposed based on the Daubechies wavelet transform. With power spectral density analysis, the main features of the high-frequency signal corresponding to the imbalance of the spindle system are extracted from the surface topography of the workpiece in the frequency domain. With the cross-correlation analysis method, the relationship between the guideway error of the machine tool and the low-frequency signal of the surface topography is calculated in the time domain.


The technology has grown at an ultra-fast pace along with the world. Small devices with less power and high efficiency are in demand. As the circuit size gets smaller, the power requirement increases due to a greater number of transistors. A pre-scaler is a circuit which reduces the high frequency signal to a low frequency signal by integer division. A new approach to low power pre-scaler is proposed in this paper, which is an add-on to the conventional pre-scaler circuit. A true single-phase clock (TSPC) circuit reduces the skew problems in the clock and is used to realize latches and flip-flops. The objective of low power is fulfilled by incorporating the Adaptive Voltage Level Source (AVLS) to TSPC based circuit. The proposed AVLS-TSPC based pre-scaler was analyzed for a frequency of 10 MHz with a supply voltage of 1.8 V for both divide by 2 and 3 modes. The proposed pre-scaler consumes considerably lesser power when compared to that of the existing pre-scaler circuit. The circuits are implemented in 180 nm CMOS technology using Cadence Virtuoso and simulated using Cadence Spectre.

Image edge detection is easily affected by noise. Wavelet algorithm can divide the image into low frequency and high frequency. By the processing of high frequency signal and the reconstruction of wavelet coefficients, the purpose of removing noise can be achieved. In the environment of VC++6.0, an image de-noising algorithm based on the wavelet combined with the Canny edge detection is proposed, which obtains a good result. The above algorithms are implemented based on OpenCV, which is more efficient, providing the conditions for subsequent image analysis and recognition. Experiments are carried out and the results show that the proposed algorithm is available and has a good performance.

The effects of time delay on the vibrational resonance (VR) in a discrete neuron system with a low-frequency signal and a high-frequency signal are investigated by numerical simulations. The results show that there exists a delay time that optimizes the phase synchronization between the low-frequency input signal and the output signal. VR is induced by the time delay. Furthermore, the time delay can improve the response to a low-frequency input signal. Therefore, the time delay plays a constructive role in the transmission of a low-frequency signal by inducing and enhancing VR.

By analyzing the two lightning accidents happening to a 500kV substation situated in the lightning-prone northeastern Guangdong Province, I conclude as follows, there should be some problem in the equipotential earthing of the secondary system of this substation. Specifically, the existing potential difference in the secondary equipment gave rise to the meltdown of it which finally caused the accident. In the context,I build the one-point earthing parallel system simulation model according to ATP graphic pretreatment program, then by using slope-ramp simulation I study the lightning current which leaked into the grounding grids of the substation.In conclusion, the application of high frequency signal mixed low frequency signal earth system in the secondary system and the equipotential bonding is key to preventing accidents.

AbstractMany functional connectivity studies based on electrophysiological measurements, such as electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG), start their investigations by extracting a narrowband representation of brain activity time series, and then computing their envelope amplitudes and instantaneous phases, which serve as inputs to subsequent data processing. The two most popular approaches for obtaining these narrowband amplitudes and phases are: bandpass filtering followed by Hilbert transform (we call this the Hilbert approach); and convolution with wavelet kernels (the wavelet approach). In this work, we investigate how these two approaches perform in detecting the phenomenon of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), whereby the amplitude of a high-frequency signal is driven by the phase of a low-frequency signal. The comparison of both approaches is carried out by means of simulated brain activity, from which we run receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses, and of experimental MEG data from a visuomotor coordination study. The ROC analyses show that both approaches have comparable accuracy, except in the presence of interfering signals with frequencies near the high-frequency band. As for the visuomotor data, the most noticeable impact of the choice of approach was observed when evaluating task-based changes in PAC between the delta (2-5 Hz) and the high-gamma (60-90 Hz) frequency bands, as we were able to identify widespread brain areas with statistically significant effects only with the Hilbert approach. These results provide preliminary evidence of the advantages of the Hilbert approach over the wavelet approach, at least in the context of PAC estimates.

In droplet-based microfluidics, visualizing and modulating of droplets is often prerequisite. In this paper, we report a facile strategy for visualizing and modulating high-throughput droplets in microfluidics. In the strategy, by modulating the sampling frequency of a flash light with the droplet frequency, we are able to map a real high frequency signal to a low frequency signal, which facilitates visualizing and feedback controlling. Meanwhile, because of not needing synchronization signals, the strategy can be directly implemented on any droplet-based microfluidic chips. The only cost of the strategy is an additional signal generator. Moreover, the strategy can catch droplets with frequency up to several kilohertz, which covers the range of most high-throughput droplet-based microfluidics. In this paper, the principle, setup and procedure were introduced. Finally, as a demonstration, the strategy was also implemented in a miniaturized picoinjector in order to monitor and control the injection dosage to droplets. We expect that this facile strategy supplies a low-cost yet effective imaging system that can be easily implemented in miniaturized microfluidic systems or general laboratories.

SUMMARY Global phases, viz. seismic phases that travel through the Earth’s core, can be used to locally image the crust by means of seismic interferometry. This method is known as Global Phase Seismic Interferometry (GloPSI). Traditionally, GloPSI retrieves low-frequency information (up to 1 Hz). Recent studies, however, suggest that there is high-frequency signal present in the coda of strong, distant earthquakes. This research quantifies the potential of these high-frequency signals, by analysing recordings of a multitude of high-magnitude earthquakes (≥6.4 Mw) and their coda on a selection of permanent USArray stations. Nearly half of the P, PKP and PKIKP phases are recorded with a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 5 dB at 3 Hz. To assess the viability of using the high-frequency signal, the second half of the paper highlights two case studies. First, a known sedimentary structure is imaged in Malargüe, Argentina. Secondly, the method is used to reveal the structure of the Midcontinent Rift below the SPREE array in Minnesota, USA. Both studies demonstrate that structural information of the shallow crust (≤5 km) below the arrays can be retrieved. In particular, the interpreted thickness of the sedimentary layer below the Malargüe array is in agreement with earlier studies in the same area. Being able to use global phases and direct P-phases with large epicentral distances (>80°) to recover the Earth’s sedimentary structure suggests that GloPSI can be applied in an industrial context.
